After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

In order to appease the jealousy of the emperor, Chu Qinghuang did not keep Zhou Shao in the palace for dinner.

If Zhou Shao was not distracted and was just showing his loyalty, she, as the king of a country, could reward her loyal subjects, but Zhou Shao had feelings for her, and she could not pretend to be stupid.

Chu Qinghuang did not intend to give him hope.

Although she felt that Zhou Shao might have a tendency to be abused, he did not like gentle women, but liked her, the queen who had made him capsize in the gutter.

I don’t know if he deserves to be abused.

But she did not intend to abuse him. Even if she wanted to bully someone, she felt that Fu Cang was easier to bully, and it was particularly fun to bully him.

As for the others, forget it.

She couldn’t bully them.

After Zhou Shao left, Fu Cang muttered in a low voice: "He has improper thoughts."

"How do you know?"

Someone blatantly coveted the person he liked. Which man would be so dull that he couldn't see it?

Fu Cang was not happy: "I can tell from the way he looks at you."

"Really?"

"Nuan Nuan, does he think so in his heart?"

Chu Qinghuang pretended to be silent for a while, and said calmly: "How can I know what he is thinking? Aren't you forcing him?"

Fu Cang: "..." Nuan Nuan has also learned to play dumb.

"You are now the husband of the emperor. You should be magnanimous and not treat your subjects with the same standards." Chu Qinghuang said, "Although Zhou Shao is the head of the Zhou family, he is also a subject of Xiqi."

"No subject dares to covet the emperor."

"Who said that?" Chu Qinghuang refuted him, "Since ancient times, there have been many women who entered the palace to serve the emperor as commoners."

Fu Cang:...

"The whole world is the king's land; all the people in the world are the king's subjects." Chu Qinghuang declared his sovereignty, "Everyone in this world can belong to me."

Fu Cang said nothing after hearing this, and stood up and hugged her, "The world belongs to only Nuannuan, and Nuannuan belongs to only me."

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to tell Nuannuan how much I love you."

Chu Qinghuang's mouth twitched: "It's broad daylight now-"

"It's okay to announce the silver in broad daylight."

Chu Qinghuang let him do it. Anyway, the memorials had been reviewed, and it was just right for a hearty exercise.

The best way to eliminate jealousy is not to argue verbally, but to do a pleasant exercise together. After the exercise, take a bath, refreshed, and all the jealousy will disappear.

An hour later, Chu Qinghuang leaned in the bathtub and said lazily: "Are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous." Fu Cang stirred the water to help her bathe, "Didn't Nuannuan say that the husband of the main palace should be generous and not narrow-minded. I am an obedient and good husband."

Chu Qinghuang just looked at him with a very subtle look.

After an exercise, Fu Cang's dissatisfaction was indeed alleviated. He could tell himself calmly that Zhou Shao was going to leave anyway, and as long as Nuannuan disagreed, he would not even see him.

What's wrong with the Zhou family being rich?

The Xiqi treasury was short of money before, but didn't Jiuxiao Pavilion have more money than the Zhou family? As long as Nuannuan wanted, money was not a problem at all.

One million taels of silver was just his filial piety.

At worst, he could take a mission and get several million taels of silver. Why would he need to travel thousands of miles to the imperial capital to deliver silver?

Chu Qinghuang's smile deepened. Hearing his angry complaints in his heart, was he still calm?

His jealousy was about to muddy the water in the pond.

"Fu Cang."

"Hmm?" Fu Cang looked up and met Chu Qinghuang's eyes with a bit of smile. His expression paused slightly, and then his handsome face became hot, "I'm not jealous."

"Hmm, I believe you."

Fu Cang leaned over and kissed her lips, "Nuan Nuan, don't always make fun of me."

"When did I make fun of you?"

"You were laughing at me in your heart."

Chu Qinghuang said, "So you know how to read people's minds."

Fu Cang: "..."

Unable to convince her, Fu Cang could only change the subject: "The palace examination is coming soon, how does Nuan Nuan plan to arrange these people?"

"However we arrange it." Chu Qinghuang said, "There is a shortage of people in the court, and there is also a shortage of people in the local area. Yun Heng has been training in the court for three years, and he can be sent back to his hometown to take office next year."

Yun Heng knows his hometown better. His paper was noticed by Chu Qinghuang at the beginning. He asked for the people of his hometown, and he was very loyal and enthusiastic.

In addition to Yun Heng, other people who passed the exam that year and accumulated some experience can be sent out to train for a few years and do something for the local people.

Fu Cang nodded: "Nuan Nuan is very thoughtful."

She is indeed a talented emperor who has inherited the true teachings of her master. She has thought carefully about what to do and how to use the officials in the court.

Chu Qinghuang did not speak.

"The first place in this year's spring exam is Yu Qiubai."

When saying this, Fu Cang remembered that Yu Qiubai had once met Her Majesty the Queen in the garden. Although it was designed by the Queen Mother, it happened after all. Fu Cang's jealousy, which had just subsided, has a tendency to come back.

But then again, Yu Qiubai was ordered to be beaten with fifteen sticks when he just met the Queen for the first time. He should still be afraid of Nuan Nuan.

So he should not have any thoughts of usurping power.

The emperor has learned to comfort himself.
