Chapter 10 Mid-Autumn Festival Rewards
After moving into his new house, Gu Yuzhi started his enlightenment. He also had to learn to do business with Wen Xiuzhu. He was busy every day, and before he knew it, it was the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time, in the imperial study room, the new emperor of Sang Kingdom, Gu Yuchen, had a serious face and sneered repeatedly while holding one of the memorials. Zhao Xi, the chief chamberlain on the side, looked at his nose and heart, not daring to take a breath.

The one who could make the emperor show such an expression was probably acting like a monster again.

Before Gu Yuchen could make the next move, there was movement outside the door. Zhao Xi hurried out, and soon came back with small steps holding the letter: "Your Majesty, I heard a letter from the king."

Only then did Gu Yuchen lift his eyes from the memorial: "Read it and listen."

Calculating the time, it was time for Xie Changshi to write to himself to report the situation.

"Yes." Zhao Xi opened the letter and read in a low voice: "Brother Emperor is well..."

There was no expression on Gu Yuchen's face. He chuckled when he heard the word "stretched". Zhao Xi immediately shut up after hearing this. He didn't speak again until he heard the word "stretched" and continued casually.

Gu Yuchen listened and tapped the desk lightly with his index fingers.

From the moment the word "stretched" appeared, Gu Yuchen already understood the main purpose of this letter.

Gu Yuzhi, who looked like a pitiful little boy, was actually a little clever, and his arrangements were not in vain.

Zhao Xi read the letter word for word in a calm tone, and Gu Yuchen also got the information he wanted from this "letter from home".

After finishing the letter, Zhao Xi took a step forward and presented the letter with both hands. Gu Yuchen took it, glanced at it casually and put it aside: "Zhao Xi, tell me, what does it mean when we hear the king?"

At this moment, when he heard Gu Yuchen's question, Zhao Xixin's eyes moved quickly.

The emperor was angry because of that person. Hearing that the content of His Highness’s letter was openly and secretly crying for poverty, the emperor asked himself again at this moment...

Zhao Xi lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, bending even further: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I heard that this letter of peace from the king arrived at the right time."

Gu Yuchen couldn't help but threw a memorial at Zhao Xi, and chuckled: "If you talk nonsense again, do you believe I will chop off your head?"

But Zhao Xi was right. For him, this letter was neither too early nor too late. It was really the right time to come to the palace today.

Gu Yuzhi's "letter from home" was delivered at a post station. He is afraid that it will be noticed before he even enters Beijing, and someone will talk about it in the morning.

Gu Yuchen tapped his index finger, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a good reason.

Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to slap himself twice, smiled and pretended to be stupid: "I am stupid."

"You old guy." Gu Yuchen chuckled. He looked closely and saw that there was an unopened letter in Zhao Xi's hand. He tapped his index finger, "What is that?"

"This is a letter of greeting from King Wen to the Queen and Concubine Taixian."

Concubine Taixian is Gu Yuzhi's mother-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with paying her respects.

And the message of greeting to the queen...

Gu Yuchen thought a little funny, maybe he was asking the queen for money.

This poor little guy has quite a big appetite.

Gu Yuchen waved his hand: "Go ahead and give the letter to the Queen and Concubine Taixian." Zhao Xi agreed in a low voice and slowly stepped out. Just as he was about to walk out of the imperial study, Gu Yuchen said: "Forget it, give the letter to the Queen." Bring it and I’ll go there myself.”

Gu Yuchen took the letter to the toilet and wandered to the queen's palace.

After receiving the news, the queen had been waiting in the palace early. When Gu Yuchen walked in, the queen Jiang Huirong came forward to greet him, with an unstoppable smile on her face: "Greetings to the emperor."

Gu Yuchen hummed, and naturally held her hand and walked to the inner hall. After sitting down, he handed the letter over: "Let's take a look at the greeting letter written by King Wen to you, the emperor's wife."

Jiang Huirong looked confused. She and King Wen had met very few times, let alone talked to each other. She really didn't know why King Wen would write this letter to her.

If King Wen hadn't been too young, she would have suspected whether there was some conspiracy.
Suspicious, Jiang Huirong opened the letter and quickly read the ten lines at a glance. She looked up at Gu Yuchen and didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

"After reading Xiao Liu's letter, is there anything you want to say?"

Jiang Huirong was born in a famous family, and she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts. She roughly understood when she heard the emperor's tone: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the reward for King Wen should be based on the eldest princess's share. "

Gu Yuchen said nothing, only raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Huirong. She immediately realized that what she said did not satisfy the emperor.

After thinking briefly, Jiang Huirong suddenly changed her expression and said softly: "Your Majesty, did you hear that the king's letter came from an official source?"

Gu Yuchen then looked at her with admiration: "Yes."

Only then did Jiang Huirong understand why the emperor had personally sent this letter.

The emperor's decree to set King Wen's fiefdom in Mobei was a sudden one, catching everyone off guard. Even though the courtiers knew that the matter could not be changed, they still disturbed the emperor just before King Wen was about to go to Mobei. Too annoying.

I'm afraid that after hearing the king's letter, all the ministers will know that the emperor will be in trouble again tomorrow morning.

Thinking about it this way, the reward given to King Wen cannot be based on the eldest princess's share.

The most important thing is that depending on what the emperor wants, she has to pay for it herself.

She stood up slowly, stood behind the emperor, gently squeezed his shoulders, and said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "Xiao Liu is young after all. It has been a hard journey. I would like to give you some rewards, not only gold and silver, but also cloth. Can you think of medicinal materials and the like?"

Jiang Huirong suddenly remembered that King Wen mentioned some other concubines in the letter. She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Liu also mentioned Concubine De and the others in the letter. Do you think you should tell Concubine De about this?"

The four concubines also come from famous families, and their private treasury is rich. If they have to bleed, they all have to bleed. They are all sisters-in-law. It is not good for anyone to be left behind.

"Okay, why not." Gu Yuchen answered a little casually, but seeing that he had achieved his goal, he stood up, "Since the queen has something to do, I will go back to the imperial study first."

The queen wanted to stay, but business was important now, so she hurriedly followed the emperor out of the inner palace and watched the emperor leave: "I have sent my order to the fourth concubine Dexian Shuliang to come to Kunning Palace."

The Queen's order came unexpectedly. The four concubines had already washed themselves and hurriedly put on their makeup. They thought it was some big event, but unexpectedly they were asked if they had prepared a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for King Wen.

They are all human beings and no one understands what the queen means. They sent the things to Kunning Palace overnight. They only realized it when the night was quiet. They gritted their teeth and cursed in their hearts. The queen is really insidious!
It was obviously everyone's intention, but in the end they all sent it out from Kunning Palace. They did it but there was no benefit at all. No, they must publicize this matter!
After Gu Yuchen returned to the royal study, he asked Zhao Xi to prepare the things overnight and send them to Mobei together with the queen's wishes before the morning court.

The civil servants who had planned to show off their literary talent in the court suddenly got the news and were very confused...
