East Palace, back hall.
"Is Ming Ming coming? Sit, sit, sit."
Changsun Wugu saw Xu Fenglei entering the courtyard and greeted him with a smile,
"Your Majesty has just been summoned by the Emperor Father. He will not be back for a while. Please have a cup of tea first."
After all, she actually poured the tea herself.
"No way! How dare you trouble the Queen to pour tea?"
Xu Fenglei hurriedly waved his hands and said,
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself..."
However, Changsun Wujiu had already brewed a cup of tea and handed it into his hand.
"We are all members of our own family, why bother?"
She smiled and said,
"In the past in Tiance Mansion, you could drink the tea I made and eat the pastries I made, but now you can't eat them? Are you unfamiliar?"
Xu Fenglei shook his head repeatedly.
"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority."
He said happily,
"Your Majesty is now the empress of the world, how can you make tea for your subordinates? But since your Majesty says that we are her own family members, we don't dare to refuse anymore. I will drink this tea, I will drink it..."
After saying that, Xu Fenglei took two sips of the tea, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Good tea!”
He clicked his tongue and said,
"Could this be picked from the mother trees in Wuyi? Only this year's new tea has such a taste."
The eldest grandson Wugou nodded slightly.
"You are a discerning tea drinker."
She smiled lightly and said,
"I've been getting used to the taste of this tea recently. After drinking it for a long time, it does taste better than Camellia oleifera."
"Your Majesty, they still can't get used to drinking this unseasoned tea. If some good tea comes as tribute in the future, I'll give you a few packets to save them from wasting their natural resources."
Xu Fenglei's mind moved and he bowed hurriedly: "Thank you for the reward, but..."
He looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and said in a deep voice:
"No matter what kind of tea it is, whether it is clear tea or camellia oleifera, your temperament will always be cold. Drinking too much will damage your vitality."
"Your Majesty is weak, don't drink too much."
Even though the queen was in good spirits at the moment, she was actually weaker than Lin Daiyu.
According to the course of history, although she is only twenty-five years old now, she only has ten years left to live.
"I know, I know."
Changsun Wugou nodded and said softly,
"I've also been practicing the Eight-part Gong you asked me to practice before. The first few times I practiced it, I was always sweating profusely and dizzy. I woke up with backache the next day."
"I feel a little better today, and my body is indeed a little lighter, which is indeed useful."
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Of course it is useful. Young people can strengthen their muscles and bones, middle-aged people can gain strength, and old people can extend their lifespan. People of all ages can practice it."
He responded, and then warned,
"However, even if this is a slow fist health-preserving technique, the empress must take her time."
"Although this skill is good, its principle is to consume some essence to nourish the whole body. Children are full of essence and can do ten sets a day. However, if the liver and kidney are already severely deficient in essence, the practice will actually cause damage. body."
"Your Majesty must ensure that you get enough sleep every day. Also, if you travel, walk as much as possible if you can. Don't sit in a sedan chair. The soles of your feet will be warm when you walk on them. This is best for health."
Changsun Wugou listened especially carefully to his words.
"Okay, okay, I'll note it down."
She sighed softly,
"Now that I'm a queen, I really don't have my feet touching the ground. I have people waiting on me in the palace, and I have to ride in a sedan when traveling. I think it's better to be at home in Tiance Mansion!"
"It's better to be more energetic and lively."
Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, those shrews who curse in the street actually live the longest!"
he joked.
"Hahaha..." Changsun Wugu covered his mouth and kept laughing.
While chatting, a figure appeared behind Xu Fenglei.
"Qingquan is here."
Changsun Wugou stopped laughing and waved,
"Come, come to mother."
"I've met Master." Li Qingquan bowed slightly to Xu Fenglei, and soon arrived in front of Changsun Wugou, and stood still obediently.
"Your master is now also a first-class Grand Duke, a majestic young master of the Crown Prince. In terms of reputation, he is more famous than the senior senator in the court."
Changsun Wugou pointed at Xu Fenglei and said to Li Qingquan,
"You have to respect your master more from now on, you know?"
Li Qingquan pouted.
"When did my daughter not respect her master?"
She hummed softly,
"When it comes to respecting teachers and teachers, all my younger brothers and sisters are far behind me."
Obviously, Li Qingquan can still be a little more relaxed in front of her family. There is a bit of playfulness in her temperament, not entirely quiet.
"Speaking of which, since Cheng Qian has established a crown prince, Qingquan and the others will also be granted the title of princess, right?"
Xu Fenglei said casually,
"Qing Que, Li Zhi and others should also be sealed."
"The Supreme Emperor has granted titles to so many clans and princes. All cats and dogs have become princes. The princes and princesses cannot afford to fall behind others."
Changsun Wugou snorted softly.
"Father is summoning your majesty to this matter. It seems that he intends to strengthen the clan."
She said,
"In order to prevent my relatives from getting involved in politics, I even killed my own brother for justice. It's better for my father. Do you still think that these royal relatives are not bloated enough?"
"A county prince can get such a large fiefdom. Do all the people in the world have to support these incompetent princes of the Li family?"
"Isn't that enough to raise pigs?" Xu Fenglei said with a smile.
"Hahaha……"
Changsun Wugou covered his mouth again and laughed, waving his hand and saying,
"Okay, okay, stop making fun of me! You give me this kind of fun every day, and I can't even breathe."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's hard for my harem to talk about the court affairs. I just want to have a few casual conversations with you. Your Majesty will naturally have his own decision."
"By the way, how are the preparations for your bank account going?"
Perhaps because of his fitness, Changsun Wugou's eyes were bright and his temper was a bit more lively, much better than the previous two years.
"Isn't there a war going on right now? I don't have to worry about it."
Xu Fenglei said,
"Now that the battle is over, I can have my hands free to take care of things."
"Don't worry, Madam. I've asked Yan Lide, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to help identify the land. The bank is located in the most prosperous part of the West City, and the treasury is set up in the east part of the city with the best security, roughly near Jingzhao Mansion, to ensure the safety of the money."
"I estimate that it will be ready for trial operation in a while."
"However, if a large amount of money is involved, it will definitely not go well at the beginning. Let's slowly build up the reputation. Once we have credit, the business will be easy to do."
The eldest grandson Wugu nodded.
"If the royal family helps support the table, the credibility will naturally be high."
She said slightly apologetically,
"However...even though it is a partnership, the royal family is concerned about face after all. You cannot use the royal banner to do this kind of business, otherwise you will be stabbed in the back by the world, saying that the emperor is competing for profits with the people."
"Well, since I can't contribute, I will contribute a sum of money and treat it as equity capital."
Xu Fenglei was shocked.
"No, no, no, why do you need your Majesty to pay for it?"
He continued,
"My little capital is enough to cover this kind of business, how can I let the queen spend money?"
"You can't do it, you can't do it..."
