436 Si Yu's intention
Lin Su's words made Si Yu ponder. It's not that he doesn't understand the twists and turns in it, but he deals with all kinds of dynasties on weekdays, and sometimes he really doesn't want to think too much about the harem.
However, Lin Su's words also let him know Lin Su's dilemma.
He reached out and took Lin Su's hand and whispered, "I don't need other women to help me reproduce... Suer, you are my queen, and only your children are the most orthodox royal blood..."
Lin Su lowered his head with slightly red cheeks, "Why doesn't the emperor's concubine know? Therefore, I don't want the emperor to be caught between my concubine and my mother..." She looked up at Si Yu, her eyes were steaming, and whispered, "Let's have a general election. As long as the emperor's heart is with my concubine, what's dissatisfaction with me? Even if I feel sad..."
Her voice lowered, but the meaning could not be clearer. Si Yu looked at Lin Su lovingly, and his hand holding her hand tightened a little more. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely not fail you."
Lin Su squeezed his lips and smiled, but his heart was a little lost.
No matter how nice she is, she still hopes that Si Yu can refuse this election... However... Well, as an emperor, she should have the emperor's consideration. Even if she is just a woman in the harem, she can understand Si Yu's practice. However, understanding is understanding and accepting...
Once she has feelings for Si Yu, accepting such a thing is almost as uncomfortable as stabbing her in her heart.
No matter what Lin Su thinks, the matter of this general election should also be settled as the most important thing. Unlike every previous election, there is a fixed quota. Therefore, all trivial matters are even more cumbersome. Lin Su discussed with Si Yue about the position of the Chang sisters. One was promoted to the moon concubine and the other to the star concubine to assist Lin Su in managing various trivial matters of the election.
Seeing that Lin Su did things without delay, and Si Yu did not find herself to cancel the general election, Empress Dowager Zhao really felt much more comfortable. She never hit Lin Su on the face again, but often rewarded her with something. Speaking and doing things in ordinary days also restored his love for Lin Su.
However, it is impossible without grudges in Lin Su's heart. After all, it really hurts her to arrange a woman for her husband, who is as beautiful as a flower. The closer the election of the show girl enters the palace, the more difficult it is for her to fall asleep.
Si Ye was woken up by her at night and hugged Lin Su tightly, clamped her in his arms and whispered, "I only want you, Su'er."
Lin Su's face still slowly showed a trace of fatigue. Si Yue came to the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, and the conclusion was just "overworked and depressed". After the prescription, Lin Su took it and looked a little better. Then Si Yu was relieved.
Looking at Si Yu's anxiety, Lin Su's boredom was slightly better.
Anyway, as long as she firmly grasps Si Yu's heart, and then there are three thousand beautiful women in the palace?
Thinking about this, she raised some spirit. At the end of July, the first batch of beautiful girls finally arrived in the capital. Si Yu thought about it and went to the Empress Dowager's Palace early that night to accompany her for dinner.
"It's rare to see you so free." The Empress Dowager stabbed Si Yu a little, "Is the government finished?"
Si Yu bowed his head and said, "After returning to his mother, the political affairs were almost finished. This year, the wind and rain are still smooth. Except for some drought in the north, other places are fine. It's just that in the southwest, I heard that there was a lot of rain a few days ago, and the Ministry of Household has allocated funds to strengthen the dam..."
"If you do a good job, the people are basically..." The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction and looked at Si Yu lovingly. "Look at your family, you are much richer these days."
Si Yu laughed, "This is the queen's credit. Every day, I stewed the soup and sent it to me. I looked at her and reduced it a little, and I guess I also worried about her..."
"The queen is naturally good." The Empress Dowager nodded her head and said with a smile, "The mourning family also looked at her and lost some. There are still some good blood swallows and some supplements in my palace. Let's reward the queen." She looked back at the mother beside her and said, "It's a pity. Don't just care about the emperor. She should also cherish herself."
The mother answered. Si Yu listened to the Empress Dowager's words, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "But it's not the mother who cares about her son the most!" The son's heart is like a mirror, and the mother has done a lot for her son..."
"Why is your mouth so sweet today?" The Empress Dowager looked at Si Ye with a smile and said, "But what's wrong with you to let the mourning family make the decision for you?"
"Looking at what my mother said, I am also the king of a country. In addition to worrying about the world, there is nothing else to worry about." Si Ye smiled and said, "Let the mother worry about her son, but it's her son's unfilial."
The Empress Dowager frowned, "What happened? Don't be careless with your family!"
Si Yu then said, "It's just that the treasury is a little empty..." With that, he restrained his smile on his face. "In recent years, there have been many big and small things in the world. Although there have been a lot of grain taxes, the silver allocated every year is also a large amount, and it will be flat every year..."
"Isn't it a big deal this year?" The Empress Dowager frowned and was not very clear.
Si Ye smiled bitterly, "After returning to my mother, there was a drought in the north. I prepared some grain and silver in advance for disaster relief, and the silver in the southwest was already unplanned. In addition..." He looked up at the Empress Dowager in embarrassment.
When the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she waved her hand and said, "Say it bluntly, is there anything we can't say between mother and son?"
Si Ye then whispered, "The national election is really costing people's money, and it is also a big expense..." He got up and sat next to the empress dowager. "Naturally, I know that this is the mother's intention, so I have been unwilling to say it. Who knew that such a thing happened in the southwest..."
Si Yu sighed, but did not go on.
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, and then whispered, "It's my family who is not well thought about..." Seeing this, Si Yu hurriedly said, "Why is the mother's queen? The mother's queen is thinking about her son's heir. Doesn't the son know? It's just that things are not coincidental..." He paused for a moment, and then whispered, "My son thought that in addition to this group of beautiful girls who have arrived in the capital, there are also beautiful women who are about to arrive in the capital, it's better to put them down temporarily..."
