Chapter 40
After Zhao Chen and Xiao Qi left the back hall, they tacitly never mentioned this matter again.
Morning a few days later.
"Your Majesty, all the rebels have been calmed down now, and the court is stable. It's time for Your Majesty to think about the country, recruit concubines, and add new blood to the royal family!" A person in the hall stepped forward and said.
Jiang Taiping was not by Zhao Chen's side, and Zhao Chen didn't want to keep other eunuchs by his side, so Xiao Qi followed him by his side, playing the original Taiping's role.Hearing these words, Xiao Qi lowered her eyes, glanced at Zhao Chen's back quietly, and clenched her robe tightly.
Zhao Chen seemed very troubled, he frowned and said, "Two concubines in the harem are enough."
"Your Majesty, how can this be possible! When the first emperor was in power, the number of concubines was already very small, resulting in very few heirs. Now there are only two empresses and imperial concubines in my dynasty. This—"
"Then according to what Master Wei said, is there any suitable candidate?" Zhao Chen raised his eyes.
"To be honest, there is a young girl waiting in the boudoir of Weichen's family, which is a good age for marriage. Besides, Lord Li, Lord Ming, and Lord Jin all have suitable girls in their families." Lord Wei mourned, " Also, Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
Zhao Chen rubbed the center of his brows irritably, "I don't want to accept a concubine, so please don't persuade me. Your beloved daughters should choose their lovers and marry."
Lord Wei still didn't want to give up, "I know that your majesty has a deep relationship with the two empresses, and your majesty doesn't want to accept a new couple, and the two empresses in the palace are still of a suitable age to have children, your majesty should work hard for the extension of children. "
It was the first time someone cared so much about his private life, Zhao Chen showed embarrassment, "I have my own measure."
"As far as I know, when His Majesty was in the Prince's Mansion, he only had a spring evening with the current empress, and now he has never been in the harem after he ascended the throne. If His Majesty has any difficulties, I will spare no effort to help His Majesty restore the old 'life' !” said Master Wei.
"What's my problem?" Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, puzzled.
"This..." Lord Nawei took out a mysterious small box from his arms, "This is a folk medicine, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Xiao Qi stepped forward to hold the small box and placed it in front of Zhao Chen.Zhao Chen opened the lid, and a strange smell wafted out, causing him to cover his nose, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty, although the smell of this pill is a bit unpleasant, its effect is amazing, even the dead root can be revived immediately!"
Zhao Chen was taken aback, "What effect?"
"Your Majesty...!" Lord Wei also looked embarrassed. After all, he was in front of so many people, and he still couldn't speak directly. After hesitating for a moment, seeing that Zhao Chen still looked confused, he said again, "This medicine , can help men regain their glory!"
"???" Zhao Chen threw the box in his hand like a hot potato as soon as he heard it, and looked at Master Wei with a smile, "I don't need it. If Master Wei wants it, he should keep it for himself."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't be stubborn about this kind of thing! To the future for me... Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." Lord Wei still shouted behind him, and Zhao Chen left the hall without looking back.Xiao Qi pondered for a moment behind him, grabbed the box and followed quickly, and then succeeded in getting a grateful look from Master Wei.

"This Wei Ming, really wants to piss me off. He just forced me to have a child in public, but he dared to—" Zhao Chen saw the box in Xiao Qi's hand, and it bounced like a hair exploded, " Who told you to bring this thing back?! Hurry up, throw it away! Xiao Qi, don't force me!"
Xiao Qi secretly hooked the corners of her lips, and said with a teasing smile, "How can His Majesty let down such good intentions from Lord Wei. When my servant brought out this box, Lord Wei was so happy."
"Do you also think that I can't do it?!" Zhao Chen was like a cat with its back arched and ready to attack at any time. Seeing Xiao Qi not talking, he was even more angry, "Say it, don't stop talking!"
"I don't know, Your Majesty." Xiao Qi blinked, and glanced at Zhao Chen's robe unintentionally, "I haven't seen it before, so how can I know. Why don't we—"
"Xiao Qi! What are you talking about!" Zhao Chen jumped up instantly, feeling that Xiao Qi's words were not good.
There was a smile on his face, looking at Zhao Chen's shameful face, he felt even more joyful, "Why don't your majesty follow Lord Wei's wishes, so that you can prove your innocence?" His face turned red and then turned pale, Xiao Qi seemed to have no intention of saying, "Your Majesty, what did you think this humble minister was going to say? Hmm?"
The pronounciation of the word "um" made Zhao Chen's heart tremble again, how could he be so helpless every time in front of Xiao Qi.On weekdays, Xiao Qi had an old-fashioned look, but once he really teased Zhao Chen, it would always end in Zhao Chen's complete defeat. "Xiao Qi, when did you become so talkative!"
Xiao Qi let out a chuckle, only breathing, very soft, but still heard by Zhao Chen, "Really, rascal!" He turned his head angrily, but he was still angry, and turned back a little slyly. Turning around, "Xiao Qi, I reward you with this box. Seeing that my guards have been abstinent all year round, they are already 19 years old, and they can't even get a lady. I'm afraid you need this thing more than I do." .”
"A reward to this humble minister?" Xiao Qi hooked her lips, "Your Majesty has to personally test whether this humble minister needs this item, don't let such a good product fail."
"??" Zhao Chen's face was ashen, "How to test, I want to hear what earth-shattering words you can say now."
Xiao Qi didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Chen with a meaningful look. Zhao Chen felt a little scared after being stared at by him, "Why don't you talk now? Could it be because you are afraid?"
"I am worried that His Majesty will be afraid." Xiao Qi touched his lips with his fingers, stared at Zhao Chen and raised his eyebrows.Although he didn't say anything, some fragments that didn't exist flashed through Zhao Chen's mind. He jumped off the stool and turned around stiffly, "Shut up, I'm never afraid."
Xiao Qi looked at his back, looked softly behind him, and smiled wantonly and silently.
He also said he was not afraid.
"They all persuaded my concubine to have a child. You said that just now. Could it be that I really want to..." Zhao Chen said suddenly.Xiao Qi's smile froze on his face, "I didn't mean to persuade you just now, your majesty has to decide this matter."
Seeing that Zhao Chen was just silent, Xiao Qi's heart sank, and he took two steps forward, "I personally think that this is not the time to indulge in the harem, your majesty should put the country first, and don't worry about the children."
"I think so too." Zhao Chen showed a look of "you still understand me", then turned around and said, "Their gang of old antiques, what's so good about having more children, I don't want Fen'er to experience brothers like me. Kill each other." Zhao Chen smiled again, "Besides, I really don't have the heart to go to the harem to have fun, and I'm exhausted from arguing with you every day."
Xiao Qi was taken aback, glanced at Zhao Chen, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing good about the harem either."
"Could it be because of this that you hate women?" Zhao Chen said.
"Ah." Xiao Qi opened his mouth, a little dazed, "I don't hate women."
"But don't you like men?" Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
Xiao Qi suppressed a smile and said: "If you like men, you must hate women. How can His Majesty be so absolute?"
"That means you still might like women?" Zhao Chen glanced at Xiao Qi after speaking, wanting to see Xiao Qi's expression, but it fell straight into his eyes, and Zhao Chen avoided him in a panic Sight.Xiao Qi lowered her head and smiled, "No, I will only like him."
Although he used the word "him", Zhao Chen had already understood Xiao Qi's affection that day, so at this time, he automatically substituted this person into himself, his face blushed, and he raised his voice angrily, "In broad daylight, how can you How can you be so shameless?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Qi took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen couldn't react in time, so he heard Xiao Qi teasing, "Why are you ashamed? Your Majesty doesn't know who this person is."
"You...!" Zhao Chen stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Qi's chest, felt his strong muscles, and his face turned red again, "I didn't realize before that you are so shameless."
"I used to be afraid that His Majesty would know, but now I feel that His Majesty has taken a step towards the humble minister, and I am afraid that His Majesty will not know." Xiao Qi just stood quietly in front of him, but Zhao Chen always felt that there was an invisible hand constantly touching his face. Push him towards Xiao Qi.He said with some confidence: "When did I take a step towards you?"
"Your Majesty didn't dodge at this time, but just took another step towards this humble minister." Xiao Qi's brows and eyes were full of tenderness, "As long as Your Majesty doesn't retreat, all the roads between you and me will be walked by this humble minister. I will walk all the way, unplug all obstacles, and finally be by His Majesty's side like now, okay?"
Zhao Chen wanted to avoid Xiao Qi's sincerity, but he didn't want to back down, as if if he took a step back now, Xiao Qi's words would be completely overturned.Seeing Zhao Chen's reaction, Xiao Qi's heart moved slightly. He took another half step and narrowed the distance between the two, "Your Majesty need not say, I understand your Majesty's answer." He bent down, Approaching Zhao Chen's ear, he said softly, "If Your Majesty doesn't run away, I really won't stop."
Xiao Qi's voice was deep and sexy, and Zhao Chen's mind suddenly went blank. Even if he knew the meaning of Xiao Qi's words, he couldn't take half a step, so he could only let Xiao Qi whisper in his ear and said, "Your Majesty! Wei Chen received the answer."
