Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

The Universal Assembly is coming soon, and all the envoys will come to meet the queen mother and the emperor soon, and pay homage to the royal family.

Under pressure, the Queen Mother had no choice but to order Concubine Zhen to be released.The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the news in the imperial study, and immediately ran to see Concubine Zhen.

"Yun'er, I'm here to see you!" Qi Yuxiao sat next to Concubine Zhen, tightly holding Concubine Zhen's cold hand.

Tears welled up in the corners of Concubine Zhen's eyes, fine wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes at such a young age, and there seemed to be a few strands of white hair on her temples: "Your Majesty... the concubine finally waited for this day, concubine I thought I would never see the emperor again in this lifetime."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We still have a long time to go, I'm here to feed you medicine." Qi Yuxiao gently took the medicine and fed it to Concubine Zhen.

Looking at Concubine Zhen's pale and haggard face, Qi Yuxiao suddenly sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy my younger brothers. If I didn't become the emperor, but just the county king of Rongwang's mansion, I would only marry you as a princess. How happy it would be to live the life of an ordinary family."

"But I don't even have the right to rescue you. Sit alone on this cold dragon chair, and be a puppet who can't speak." Qi Yuxiao was restrained by the strong suffocation, and the movement of feeding medicine was almost suffocating. Paused helplessly.

Concubine Zhen held his hand: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, am I still by your side? I will always support you until the day you truly become the lord of the world."

The two looked at each other, silent, and the sad thoughts echoed in their hearts.

"Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager ordered you to go to the Empress's Palace tonight and remember what the Empress Dowager told you that day." The chief eunuch Dechun entered the door to pass the order.

The emperor listened to the eunuch's words, without turning his head, he fed the medicine to Concubine Zhen one mouthful at a time, until the soup bottomed out, then he reluctantly put down the bowl, touched Concubine Zhen's face, reluctantly said: " I have gone to the Queen's Palace, you should rest well, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

After all, the emperor stepped out of the palace door of the bedroom. Concubine Zhen knew that the emperor had something to hide but was helpless, so she could only curl up in the bed, greedily sucking the warmth that the emperor had won for herself.

Under the leadership of Eunuch Dechun, the emperor finally stepped into the gate of Changle Palace and entered the queen's bedroom.Eunuch Dechun also closed the door for him "intimately", just like shutting up a criminal.

Qi Yuxiao saw the queen sitting shyly on the bed in her pajamas, twisting her handkerchief uneasily, waiting for his luck.

The emperor sighed, clenched his fists under his sleeves tightly.The queen was already ugly, with a hunched back, thick rouge making her face white, two big blushes on her cheeks, big red lips, extremely thin eyebrows and slightly protruding teeth, which really made people not interested.

This was a marriage arranged by the empress dowager, the emperor was very resistant and never touched her after marriage.

"Big... big cousin, oh no, queen, I, I'm really embarrassed, I always regard you as my cousin."

The queen was a little unhappy when she heard this sentence, the shyness on her face faded instantly, she got up and walked over crying, "Is the emperor still unwilling to touch me? We have been husband and wife for several years, and you have never looked at me directly. Didn't you and the Queen Mother delay my life?"

"Queen, I'm sorry for you, can you help me and Concubine Zhen, and speak for me and the Queen Mother..."

The queen patted the table emotionally, and cried: "I will fulfill you! Then who will fulfill me?? I am also a woman! I also want my husband to treat me well! I will not interfere with your relationship with Concubine Zhen, but, Can't you even share half of my love?"

The queen kept crying, kept saying things to complain about the emperor, and howled loudly. It was more like a ghost crying in the middle of the night. The emperor's brain hurt when he heard it, so she made her voice louder after a few words of advice.The emperor had no choice but to go as usual, if it didn't make sense, he left.

Dechun was still guarding outside under orders. Seeing the emperor coming out, Dechun chased after him, but the emperor ignored him and left. Tonight, the emperor didn't go to any palace, but stayed in the imperial study by himself.

There was a violent storm inside the palace, and the outside was quiet under dark clouds. As soon as Qi Yutao returned to the palace, he immediately went to Prince Rong to explain what happened to Dingol that day.

"Father, Dingol must have come prepared for letting go of his words like this, and we must not take it lightly! What's more, Brother Six has never managed the navy's affairs very much, and the navy has been idle drinking and playing cards all day long. It's time to send more troops to Yuqiong Port, buy salaries and cannons to train and train troops to rectify the lazy style of the navy!" Xiao Qi urged very anxiously.

Prince Rong hesitated, shook his head and said: "The World Expo will be held soon, and the Queen Mother is celebrating her birthday. Today, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace, saying that this year's birthday will be held at such a good time, not to mention repairing the Cuihua Garden. It also needs a lot of money, I don’t reduce the navy’s funding, it’s good enough, and I’m asked to pay for it and buy guns to increase the number of troops, the national treasury is so tight, isn’t that embarrassing for me?”

"I see, that foreign devil is just talking about it, how can one of his warships fight against dozens of our warships? It's nothing to worry about!" Prince Rong shook his hand and refused.

Qi Yutao was taken aback for a moment, he never expected to get such an answer.Xiao Qiye walked around his father: "Father means to reduce the navy's budget on purpose? How can this be possible?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to do. Hey... the queen mother finally relaxed her attitude. Under the advice of all the ministers, she decided to delegate power to the emperor and retreat to the Cuihua Garden. This is a good opportunity for the emperor to take charge of the government! So repairing the Cuihua Garden is no matter what. I have to do things well, I can only... embezzle the navy's military expenses!"

Little Seventh Master turned pale with shock: "Father!! Absolutely no! This navy fund cannot be embezzled! Even if you celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday and repair the Cuihua Garden, once the Empress Dowager finds out that you embezzled the Navy funds without authorization, it will be a big deal." Pass one!"

Prince Rong looked at the "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" on the wall and was silent for a while, then said impatiently: "The most important thing right now! When everything is settled, who will know that we embezzled the navy military funds? You Go back to the room, I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me!"

Little Qiye wanted to argue something, but was kicked out by Prince Rong.Xiao Qiye had no choice but to return to Qianyin Pavilion dejectedly.

In the past two days, Xiao Qiye was busy with the affairs of the Wanhui, while Song Yitao was raising the baby at home, lying on the rocking chair and blowing the fan to blow the air when he had nothing to do.

"Oh, it's so boring. I want to drink some wine."

Looking at the stars above her head, Song Yitao sighed, "I kind of miss my group of cronies...but all of them came for my money. If I had no money, who would be happy to take pictures of me? Flatterer, who will help me with things, who will be my friend? The friends in ancient times are pure and kind, heh, those modern people are fine, I don’t want them! I’m yuck!!”

Xiao Qiye, who had just stood beside her and wanted to look down at her, received this perfectly, and wiped his face speechlessly: "Who are you talking about?"

Song Yitao sat up and looked at Xiao Qiye, a little embarrassed: "Husband, are you back? Have you eaten yet? I'll get you some..."

"No need...I'm very annoying, alas." Xiao Qiye sat on the small stool next to her, rubbed his face with his hands, his expression was very decadent.

"What's the matter with you! Are you unhappy?" Song Yitao held Xiao Qiye's hand with a concerned expression on his face.

"Father wants to embezzle the navy's military expenses to repair Cuihua Garden for the Queen Mother. Even if it is for the second brother's personal administration, but the Queen Mother is going to celebrate her birthday and open the World Expo. These are three huge sums of money. The treasury is really out of money. Father In desperation, we can only embezzle the navy's military expenses first." Qi Yutao covered his face and said in a weary tone.

"Ah?? What will happen if the navy's military expenses are embezzled?" Song Yitao asked.

"If the navy's military expenditure is reduced, something big will happen. The foreigner said that he will attack our Yuqiong Port on the day of the World Expo. I'm really scared..."

"This won't work! Can't you persuade the Queen Mother not to live too long? The country's important affairs are important!" Song Yitao was also a little nervous, holding Xiao Qiye's cold hands.

"How to persuade? Who dares to persuade? Tired of work?" Xiao Qiye sighed deeply, as if he had seen the chaos coming.

Song Yitao propped up her back, touched her chin, and actively thought about countermeasures.She really wanted to help Xiao Qiye and not trouble him.

Song Yitao paced back and forth in the hall, muttering.

"If... these three tasks can be done together, wouldn't it only cost a sum of money? Then there would be no need to embezzle the navy's military expenses? If it is necessary to pay for the repair of Cuihua Garden , then it is necessary to hold the World Expo and the Empress Dowager’s birthday without spending money, how can I save money?”

"Queen, celebrate your birthday, the World Expo, Cuihua Garden?" Song Yitao walked up and down, frantically organizing his thoughts.

"When I was young, I played a kind of spelling game, that is - the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday at the World Expo in the Cuihua Garden! Yes!!" Song Yitao's eyes lit up excitedly.
