Chapter 757 One more job
After directly making the three beautiful ladies his concubines, Zhou Xu turned back to the imperial study and continued to deal with the work in front of him.
The matter of canonizing the concubine was like a small episode worth mentioning to him, and it did not have much impact on him.
The next two days passed. As always, Hilke, who had helped Zhou Xu sort out the documents, hesitated for a while and then reported it with a headache.
“Your Majesty, in the past two days, people have been coming to inquire about which concubine you slept with.”
Zhou Xu chuckled after hearing this.
He used his toenails to figure out who was inquiring, but the reality was that he hadn't been to anyone in the past two days.
The workload in the past two days has been relatively heavy. After finishing his work during the day, one reason was that he was so sleepy at night that he just wanted to sleep. Another reason was that the three concubines had just moved in and the palace was still being tidied up.
“They are all settled?”
“They are settled.”
Silk nodded.
"Is your Majesty going to rest with any concubine tonight?"
Silk has been here for so long, so he naturally knows a lot about some things here. .
At the same time, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. Human life is indeed short. If their Majesty needs to cultivate a successor, it must be done as soon as possible.
In response to this issue, Zhou Xu's mood was really a bit subtle at the moment.
Before time travel, he had quite a lot of emotional experience, but basically every girlfriend would talk about it for a period of time before moving on to the next step. The emphasis was on a step-by-step approach.
Now that he has skipped this process, it makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
But that’s the limit...
[Considering future generations, Li Qin’er is undoubtedly the better choice, but...]
Thinking quickly. After reading it, Zhou Xu confirmed it aloud.
"Concubine De's father was the Minister of War in the old dynasty. Now he is serving as the minister of the military and political department in the New World, right?"
Silk, who had just gone to investigate the three beauties, Now the memory is clear, and he nodded quickly.
"Yes."
"Well, let's go to De Fei's place tonight."
"..."
There was no words all night, but early the next morning, the news that His Majesty had favored Concubine De was quietly spread from the palace.
What does this mean? This shows that among the three beautiful ladies, the emperor prefers Concubine De!
After hearing the news, as the biological father of Concubine De, Minister Li of the military and political department of the New World suddenly became excited, and he felt windy when he walked all day.
During this period, many officials from the old dynasty even congratulated him in private, and even established a relationship, which made Minister Li even more proud.
At the same time, the other two people naturally had complicated moods, and Li Bowen's eyes were even more thoughtful.
In the following period, which concubine the emperor favored would undoubtedly become the most important news to some officials.
But what people did not expect was that on the second and third days, none of them were favored by His Majesty and slept directly in their own palaces. It was not until the fourth day that they went to the palace of the Concubine Xian.
On the seventh day, it was finally the turn of Concubine Shu Li Qiner... Today is the day to go to court. Since he has another morning exercise program of Tai Chi, Zhou Xu gets up every day Time was also picked up earlier than before. He didn't need anyone to call him at this moment. His own precise biological clock had already allowed him to open his eyes on time.
At the same time, outside the palace, the maid waiting there also knocked on the door on time.
"Your Majesty, it's time to prepare to go to court."
In the past, his soldiers were responsible for this matter, but since there are women in the harem, the soldiers continue to be responsible for this matter. Because they are not suitable, the palace has recently recruited a group of suitable maids.
The sound here woke up Li Qin'er who was sleeping soundly. She rubbed her eyes and woke up in a daze. When she saw Zhou Xu clearly lying next to her, she suddenly felt pretty. He blushed and reacted.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for your Majesty to change clothes right now."
While speaking, Li Qin'er was about to get up.
As a result, the next second, the tearing pain caused her to freeze on the spot, and her face turned slightly pale.
Zhou Xu saw this scene in his eyes.
"Okay, if you feel unwell, just lie down and rest."
While speaking, Zhou Xu had already put on his clothes and stood up.
His schedule for the day is quite tight, especially when he is going to court, so he has no time to delay.
Above the court, Zhou Xu could feel that many ministers below were secretly looking at him, especially his three cheap father-in-laws, which made him feel a little awkward.
At the end of the morning court, the courtiers headed by Li Bowen slowly walked out of the court hall. During this period, Li Bowen couldn't help but have a hint of admiration on his face.
Originally, according to his idea, after having three concubines, His Majesty, who had never taken any wives or concubines before, would probably indulge in gentleness and despise the government for a while, like the foolish monarch Yan Sheng Geng sang and sang every day, and from then on it became a typical example for the king not to go to court early.
But their Majesty was completely beyond his imagination.
The existence of the three concubines is like one more job for their majesties. They favor a concubine every three days, impartially, and without any indulgence.
Is it really just for Da Zhou to have an outstanding offspring?
Thinking of this, Li Bowen couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
From the perspective of the ministers, with such an emperor who is diligent and not addicted to women, why should they worry about not being strong? !
But from the perspective of concubine Shu Li Qin'er's biological father, Li Bowen couldn't help but sigh.
With such a husband, I don’t know what will happen to his precious daughter in the future.
In the busy work, time passed quietly, the seasons turned, and with the gradually falling temperature, they finally said goodbye to the hot summer and ushered in the harvest season.
This is an important season for the New World, because this is their first real harvest since the outbreak of famine!
After receiving the latest harvest report from the agricultural department here, Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.
This harvest basically met his expectations.
Of course, this does not represent the food production capacity of the New World. At the same time, they still need to transport food from the Old World.
If the grain production capacity here is to be truly restored, it still depends on next year's spring plowing and autumn harvest.
However, this wave of harvest can free up a lot of transportation capacity for Zhou Xu to invest in other projects. This is the main reason for his joy.
Now we are also working quickly to make new arrangements for the labor force in the Old Continent.
At the same time, a carriage drove into Xianyang City...
If nothing else, there will be more updates after 10:30 today
