Chapter 436 The Emperor Reads My Heart 6
The emperor was so happy holding his baby son that he couldn't stop smiling. "My beloved, look, he is sucking his lips. It's so beautiful. He is as beautiful as my beloved."

Ning Yan: [Even your son’s farts smell good.]”

Emperor: That’s not the case. It still stinks, but he doesn’t mind it.

"Your Majesty, the prince is hungry. Let the nurse take him down quickly."

"Oh, I thought he was playing."

Hong Tao carried the eldest prince over and handed him to the wet nurse who was waiting outside.

"My beloved, you have done me a great service in giving birth to a child. What reward do you want?"

Ning Yan: "I want to be the queen."

Emperor: Very good, my beloved concubine is still as direct as ever.

……

At the next morning court session, "Yesterday, the Imperial Concubine gave birth to my eldest son. I intend to make her my empress. Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they dare to express any opinion?

Anyway, the emperor doesn't touch other concubines, so what's the difference between a noble concubine and the queen?
"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled."

The emperor was very satisfied with the ministers' understanding, and continued, "Then I want to make the eldest prince the crown prince. Do you have any objections?"

Ministers:...

The prime minister simply knelt down and shouted "Your Majesty is wise" three times.

The other ministers also knelt down, looking as if the emperor was truly wise.

……

Three years later.

As soon as the empress dowager's mourning period was over, officials in the court brought up the matter of the beauty pageant again.

At first, the emperor made it clear that he did not want to hold any more beauty pageants because it was a waste of time and money.

Mainly because it's useless.

But some ministers just didn't believe it. They thought that the queen had been in the palace for more than four years, and no matter how beautiful she was, they would get tired of her.

What's more, the Ning family is becoming more and more powerful. How could an ambitious emperor like the current one allow the Ning family to become more and more powerful? He would definitely suppress it.

The Emperor has been saying that he does not want to hold a beauty contest, but it is just to shut the Empress up. If the Emperor agrees as soon as all the officials submit their requests, then the Empress will definitely quarrel with the Emperor, right?
As the emperor's most trusted ministers, they naturally have to worry about what the emperor worries about and what the emperor is anxious about!
Every day when the court was in session, he would start to present the beauty selections to the emperor, and he would present them to the emperor as much as he could.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne without saying a word, letting them quarrel.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he glanced at Jiude, who immediately shouted, "If you have something to report, report it. If not, leave the court."

The ministers all shut up.

It's time to leave court. What else is there to say? It's time to get off work.

If you have anything to say, I’ll talk about it when I go to work tomorrow.

When the emperor saw that no one had anything to report to him, he stood up and left, then went straight to the queen's palace.

The three-year-old prince was already studying with the tutor at this time.

When the emperor entered the queen's palace, the queen had just sent away all the concubines.

"Why did the emperor come back late today?"

"It's because those ministers are bringing up the old issues again. They are making my ears hurt every day."

Ning Yan paused while drinking tea, "Selection? Then select. The palace hasn't had any new people for three years. Doesn't the emperor want to find some good-looking concubines to enter the palace?"

After saying this, she stared at the emperor fiercely: [Men are all fickle pigs. If the emperor dares to be unfaithful, I will destroy him.]

The emperor immediately clamped his legs together: I dare not.

He knew that he would be safe if he didn't touch other women or participate in the imperial selection. "I don't want to! I have the queen, and that's enough! Those women are not even half as good as the queen, I don't want them to be an eyesore in the palace."

As for who is offended, everyone knows it!
Ning Yan then satisfiedly put away her fierce aura and hooked her little finger towards the emperor.

The emperor quickly came to the couch and held the queen in his arms.

Ning Yan kissed him on the cheek, and then began to play the emperor's game, "Your Majesty, how can you not think about it? You have to think about it!

I don’t want to be called a jealous woman.”

The emperor was dissatisfied. "You want to push me out because you don't want to be called a jealous woman? Then what do you think of me?"

The emperor was really sad at this moment. Wasn't he good enough to the queen? For several years, as the king of a country, he had only had her as his woman.

She is such a heartless person that she gave up on him just for the sake of her own reputation!
Ning Yan: Oh, poor little girl, she looks like she’s about to cry but can’t. I feel so sorry for her.

She quickly kissed the emperor twice, "How could I push you out? The emperor belongs to me alone, how could I bear to do that!"

"Then let me select the winner!"

"That's because the palace is boring. Those ministers want to make things difficult for my husband and me. Shouldn't we retaliate?"

The emperor's eyes lit up. His queen was a bit uninhibited and loved freedom. It was really unfair for her to be locked up in the palace every day. If a beauty contest could make her happy, then he would choose her!
Moreover, the Queen said that I belong to her alone, and she really has me in her heart.

As long as the queen has him in her heart, that's enough.

"Then choose."

Ning Yan: "But the emperor must promise me one thing."

"You said."

"After the ministers' daughters enter the palace, the emperor cannot visit them or have any contact with them. I am a jealous person and cannot stand it."

Emperor: "Okay, I promise you."

The queen did not complain in her heart, which meant that what she said was what she thought, and he naturally did not disobey.

Who made the queen only have him in her heart?

If you like someone, you will care about everything. If you don’t like someone, who cares!
Ning Yan was satisfied. She kissed the emperor twice and then sent everyone back to the imperial study to review memorials.

Within two days, the draft was finalized.

In order to avoid wasting money and manpower, the emperor proposed that all officials above the fifth rank must send a daughter into the palace and allow them to bring dowries.

A woman brings a dowry so that she can have confidence in her husband's family and live a better life.

However, the concubines in the harem did not have this privilege. Except for the queen, no one could bring a dowry into the palace.

The ministers were all excited. Their idea was absolutely correct. Look, wasn't the emperor already rewarding them?

As a result, within just half a month, various shops outside Beijing were doing booming business.

Especially those shops selling pearl hairpins, hand jewelry, rouge, powder, and silks and satins. The more expensive the items, the better they sell, and Ning Yan made a lot of money because of this.

In the evening, the Emperor and Empress began to divide the spoils: "Your Majesty, here, the banknotes here belong to you, and the banknotes here belong to me. Is that okay with you?"

The emperor looked at the thick stack of silver notes on his side. The largest denomination was one hundred taels, of which there were only three, the smallest denomination was ten taels, and there was also some small change.

Looking at the banknote of his own queen, the largest denomination is one thousand taels, and the smallest denomination is one hundred taels, with a pile of gold leaves and gold peanuts next to it!

By the way, those Lingluo silks were the top-quality fabrics that were originally supposed to be distributed to the concubines in the palace, but were "borrowed" by the Queen. The jewelry was also made long ago by the top craftsmen in the palace and not distributed to the concubines. Even the deeds to those shops were his!

Is it really appropriate to divide dirt in this way?

Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, Ning Yan immediately looked at her defensively, "I still need to use this money to buy cloth and return it to the emperor. The emperor is not going to rob me, is he?"

[Hehe, I have worked so hard to get so much silver. If the emperor dares to steal it, I will make him sleep on the couch for a month.]
