Chapter 1413 The Foolish Empress 36
The Queen's heart skipped a beat, as these words actually made it very clear. Prince Duan had no children, and the empress was anxious to take care of it, but the empress herself had no children.
The queen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still young, and I am actually not very old. At that time, I did not have the ability to educate children. Even if it is not my child, I still have to raise it. I think that I did not have this ability before, so Just postpone it for a while, but judging from Your Majesty’s appearance, it should be soon.”
Seeing that the Queen couldn't get in the oil and salt, King Duan had no choice but to give up.
Xining went through them one by one, and then took a closer look when he encountered something urgent or interesting.
The first thing to be an official is to have good calligraphy. Even if you are a relative of the emperor or a moron, there will be someone who is good at writing. Therefore, it is not difficult to read these words, they are neat and tidy.
After watching for a while, the little eunuch standing next to the fishing rod was about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt the fishing rod move. I thought I had seen it wrong, but when I looked carefully, I saw that the fishing rod was moving violently.
Immediately shout: "Fish, the fish bites the hook!"
When the chief steward heard this, he turned around and saw that it was the empress's fishing rod, so he shouted: "Your Majesty, the fish has bitten the hook."
He also scolded the little eunuch over there: "What are you still doing? Grab the rod quickly and don't let the fish run away!"
As soon as Xining heard this, she slapped the zhazi in her hand on the table, picked up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and ran there in a hurry.
Sure enough, a fish took the bait, and it was quite big. It dragged the fishing rod and escaped into the water, until the fishing rod was stretched into a semicircle.
The place was very lively now. The eunuchs there were shouting and shouting, and they were more nervous than the fishing empress.
Queen Jun and King Duan stopped playing chess and came over to watch together.
Xining held on to the fishing rod tightly, for fear that she would hurt her hand. The chief steward and another young eunuch helped catch the fishing rod one by one. Waiting for a net bag brought by a young eunuch, put the net bag into the water and go fishing.
A long bamboo pole stretches into the water, with an iron wire ring attached to one end and a cloth bag covered with it to make a net bag.
The net bag caught something that bit the hook, but it didn't feel like a fish.
After they fished it out, the Queen and King Duan immediately laughed. It was an old turtle weighing two kilograms.
After the old turtle was fished out, he should have shrunk his head and legs. But it raised its head, looking like it was showing off its power.
Catching a big bastard while fishing is a bad thing for a fastidious person.
Xi Ning doesn't pay attention to these things. She is not good at fishing in the first place, so what if what she catches is not a fish?
Seeing that this old turtle was very energetic and very strong, he almost pulled the fishing rod away.
Xining then waved his hand: "No more fish soup, take it to the kitchen and make turtle soup!" The turtle soup should taste good too.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old turtle retracted his head and limbs into his soft armor, as if he understood.
Hey, this thing actually has spirituality? Xining stretched out her foot and kicked the embroidered shoes inlaid with pink pearls lightly with the toe of the shoe: "Hey, wasn't it very fierce just now? You were scared when you said I wanted to eat you?"
The queen came up with a smile: "Your Majesty, this turtle seems to be a little old. If it has intelligence, it is better to let it go."
The color of the shell is all black, with a little moss growing on it, and there are still some green duckweeds when you pull it up.
Xining thought for a while: "That's fine. As long as it wants to leave now, let it go."
The old turtle immediately stretched out his head and feet and crawled forward very quickly.
Xining found it interesting and wanted to catch it. I remember the chief steward yelled: "Your Majesty, don't move, don't get bitten. Hurry up and catch him, catch him." The young eunuch stepped forward and caught the escaping old turtle. The old turtle struggled hard, stretched its head out, and danced in the air with its four claws. When the young eunuch turned around and grabbed him, he retracted his head and feet.
Xining stood in front of the old turtle, lowered his head and looked, and saw the old turtle's two small mung bean-like eyes staring at her warily inside the soft shell.
She also laughed and raised her body: "Okay, let's see if it has some energy and throw it back into the lake."
"Wait a minute!" The queen looked around and pointed at a palace maid: "Take off the gold ring on your ear."
The palace maid only wore a pair of gold earrings on her earlobes. After hearing this, she quickly took them off and handed them over.
"Since it's been released, let's leave something behind so that the people behind can catch it and let it live." The queen asked someone to bring a needle and threaded these two small rings on the skirt of the old turtle's tail. , and then put the old turtle into the water.
As soon as the old turtle hit the water, he dived deep into the water without looking back.
Xining saw it interestingly and turned around to see that the queen was facing the water where the old turtle had left, with a slight smile on her face. King Duan also had the same expression.
In fact, King Duan is not a bad person. Most of them were forced by the body master.
When they came back to their senses, they turned around and saw that the empress was looking at them with a smile, and she quickly bowed and saluted.
There are strict rules in the palace, and this kind of thing may not matter in other places, but leaving the empress alone and staring at the old turtle can be said to not take the empress seriously.
Xining put his hands on his hips and tilted his head slightly: "Okay, the turtle soup is gone. It's up to you to get me fish and make fish soup!"
After King Duan and the Queen looked at each other, they saluted and smiled and said in unison: "Yes, obey the order!"
King Duan and Queen Jun stopped playing chess and concentrated on fishing. In the end, no fish was caught. However, there is still fish soup, and the fish does not necessarily have to be caught.
While drinking the fish soup, Xi Ning said angrily: "There are so many fish in this lake, and I even fed them a lot of fish food. In the end, none of them took the bait! They are all just like that turtle, stealing the spirit and stealing the spirit. .”
The Queen was happy: "After catching this fish, it needs to be raised for at least half a day to get rid of the earthy smell. Even if it is caught, it will not be drunk today. If Your Majesty wants to drink it, I will go fishing again tomorrow."

"Forget it." Xining held the spoon. The bowl was filled with white fish soup. It must have been simmering for more than an hour. Even the fish bones stewed in the cloth bag next to it were almost crispy and rotten: " The palace is busy, so you should go about what you should be busy with. The fish soup is just drinkable, but it’s a little less fun to catch it yourself.”
Turning to Prince Duan: "Brother, please drink more."
"Okay!" King Duan picked up the spoon, took two sips and said, "Your Majesty, I want to discuss something with you. Those twenty beautiful concubines..."
"Want to return the product? No way!" Xining interrupted directly and rejected it immediately. There is no reason to take back the concubine you sent away and the water you threw away.
"That, it's not..." King Duan coughed twice: "I want to send fourteen of them to the fiefdom first, so that they can be settled by Jingzhuo first, and the remaining six will follow me back to the fiefdom. This is also avoided. We need to send more people to take care of them along the way, and they don’t look so overwhelming.”
It does look a bit scary to take twenty beautiful concubines back.
Xining made a decision immediately: "If fourteen are passed at once, Princess Duan may be too busy. The fourteen will be divided into two batches and sent to the fiefdom. Anyway, the emperor brother can arrange it by himself, and they are all yours!"
"Thank you!" After King Duan bowed, he paused and said, "I don't know if there is any conclusion about the migration of the people of Yan that I mentioned before."
Okay, let’s bring this up again! As for the 50,000 people, after these 50,000 people pass, they may also bring relatives and friends with them, so it will be more than 50,000 people. When these people live a good life, they will definitely be grateful to King Duan and become even more loyal. They will have nothing to do with the empress like her.
