There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 278 Splendid Rivers and Mountains
Ever since they had such thoughts, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty was waiting to be rejuvenated, and some time ago it supported the Tubo tribe, the affairs of the court can be described as one after another, and the memorials on the imperial case are often piled up like a mountain.

But this does not affect the happy life of the two. From summer to autumn, they are almost inseparable, day and night... ahem.

Xia Houjue felt that he had finally got rid of the life of a monk, and cherished such a life very much.

Tang Wanning, on the other hand, was focused on giving birth to a few steamed buns as soon as possible, so as to cultivate an excellent next generation for the Great Xia Dynasty and inherit the throne.

Yes, now there is a throne to inherit, and it is impossible to have no children.

When Tang Wanning was in a hurry, she didn't care about the black eyes, and tried to make people whenever she had the opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, it is late summer and early autumn, and the weather has begun to cool.

That night, Xia Houjue came to Tang Wanning's room after dealing with state affairs, with a slightly sullen expression on his face, but he tried his best not to let others see it.

As usual, he would accompany her to have dinner together, take a bath and change clothes together, read a book before going to bed together, and go to bed together.

Tang Waning knew that he was in a bad mood, but she didn't point it out, she just pretended not to know.

She was tired of being in his arms as usual, and the two of them were lingering.

After the incident, the two snuggled together, Tang Wanning suddenly asked him solemnly: "Did something happen to you?"

Xia Houjue was silent, Tang Wanning just stared at him and asked again: "Did they let you draft?"

Xia Houjue still didn't say a word, it seems that he guessed right, what A Niang said was really good, if he still can't give birth to an heir, there must be someone putting pressure on Xia Houjue.

And those rumors will become more and more ugly and outrageous. How could he, an emperor and a dignified man, endure such humiliation.

"I'm sorry..." She lowered her head, revealing only the black bun on top of her head.

Xia Houjue rubbed her long hair, sighed, and hugged her tightly.

"Wanwan, don't worry, I will never let you down, I will do what I say." In front of her, he has always used me instead of 'Zhen', which shows that he has never regarded himself as the emperor, let alone Overwhelm people with power.

He treated her with the same sincerity and heart as before, even though she hated him and resented him for guarding against him, she hadn't changed at all.

Thinking of this, she raised her head: "If you don't betray me, I will definitely not betray you."

Her watery and shining eyes are full of sincerity, full of heart-to-heart, and full of your peace of mind.

Xia Houjue felt that such eyes were extremely precious, clean and thorough, without any impurities.

"Okay, since you and I both think so, that's fine!" No matter what those ministers say, it doesn't matter.

Tang Wanning buried her head in his arms, suddenly overwhelmed with gloom.

"But you said, what if I can't give birth to a child all the time? I've been working hard for so long, and there is no movement at all."

She was a little disappointed, maybe there was something wrong with her.

"No, what are you thinking about? We are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It will not be a problem to have ten or eight children."

Tang Wanning was about to cry, but she couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"You only gave birth to ten or eight, you treat me like a sow!"

"I didn't say, Wanwanmo wants to take a seat."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Tang Wanning suddenly talked about the mountain of documents on the imperial case.

"It's boring for me to go out of the palace alone. My parents think I'm annoying and won't let me go back. When will you go out with me, husband?"

"Next year, okay? Wanwan? I'll be free next year. This year, I really can't leave."

He is not only her husband, but also the monarch of the whole world. He must take care of the world and be responsible for everyone.

"Alright then, this year I will stay in the palace honestly, and An An will give birth to a son for you."

"It's so cute!"

There was bitterness in Xia Houjue's smile, but it wasn't there when he looked closely, only the mottled moon shadow outside the window and the cool breeze.

……

In the third year of Qinghe, the emperor's knees were weak, and he had no son or daughter. All the civil and military officials asked the emperor to be elected, and to choose a woman with both ability and political integrity to enrich the harem and spread branches and leaves for the royal family.

The remonstrance notes flew into the imperial study like snowflakes, and landed in Xia Houjue's hand.

However, he didn't open any of them. As long as it was about this aspect, he kept all the papers and didn't send them. He didn't give any reply or attitude, as if everything had never happened.

It's just that he often sneers in his spare time. This is not to let him enrich the harem. This is clearly because those officials and officials have daughters of the right age. They want to enter the palace, become relatives, and want to monopolize power.

These things happened too much with the father.

How many favorite concubines have achieved Taoism and ascended to heaven alone, and the whole family, including clan members, have tyrannized the common people outside? Isn't such an example bloody enough?
Will such a lesson from the past make him make the same mistakes again?

The matter of the draft has been stalemate for the whole autumn, and after all the rumors outside have calmed down, it is already the twelfth lunar month.

Qinghe has been in for three years, and seeing that it is the end of the year, it is different from previous years. This year, the palace and the palace have made preparations early.

After all, it is a year of death where the world will be settled and the world will be peaceful. Even if you are poorer, you still have to grow your ambitions. I pray that the coming year will not be so rough, and it will be smooth sailing.

So this year's New Year's Eve ceremony is extraordinarily grand. After several years of experience, Gao has already become a master.

Once the complicated palace affairs are handled by her, they are extremely appropriate, and they are very considerate from top to bottom.

Xia Houjue couldn't help giving her a special look, and rewarded her much more generously than others. Gao's face also gained face, and he was in the limelight in the harem for a while.

Even if someone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to say a word. If they offend the emperor, everyone will have to play to the end.

……

Tang Wanning is still not pregnant, but Xia Houjue is still very happy, the reason is very simple, this year has a bumper harvest.

"Sure enough, the Jiangnan and Central Plains did not disappoint me. This year, whether it is wheat or rice, sorghum or millet, they all have a bumper harvest."

"Especially the rice in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more harvested than other places, is worthy of commendation."

As long as the common people are stable, the take-off of the Great Xia Dynasty is basically a matter of certainty, and it is only a matter of time.

"Then you won't be as busy next year as you are now?" Tang Wan looked at him anxiously.

Xia Houjue pondered for a while, then nodded.

"That's right, after the new year comes spring, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, I can take a break"

After three years of hard work, he finally cleared up all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, pulled out those tangled trees one by one, promoted those incorruptible parents and officials who had worked hard for many years at the bottom, and replaced all those ambitious generals.

Kaienke, Kaiwuke, Xingnongsang, peace of mind.

For three years, the devastation of the Great Xia Dynasty was finally blocked by him, and soon, this was another beautiful landscape.
