It is said that ever since Kang Guiren went to bed that night, Kang Guiren seemed to have become a different person. He seemed to have matured a lot overnight. Not only did he act resolutely, he even no longer had a smile on his face.

However, he became more respectful to Shen Ruochen. Not only did Shen Ruochen not have to worry about ordinary things, but he also often came to talk to Shen Ruochen. He took advantage of the situation and told the recent events in the most concise way, so that Shen Ruochen could not worry about the people in the palace. Know everything.

This made Shen Ruochen feel quite embarrassed. No, seeing Kang Guiren's face looking a little tired, he said, "If you are tired, go back and take a nap. There is no need to accompany me."

"Thank you for your concern, I'm not tired," Kang Guiren said with a smile, "I like children and would like to play with Third Brother for a while."

As he said this, he made the third elder brother play, making the third elder brother grin and laugh at himself.

"You do like children very much. You always come to entertain Third Brother, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed." Shen Ruochen said with a smile.

Although Kang Guiren is more serious and not as noisy as Jin Fei, he is not annoying after getting along with her and is not pretentious like those people.

"That's just because I don't mind it."

"You like children so much, why don't you want one for yourself? Then you can play with it as you wish."

Kang Guiren looked a little lonely, "Maybe the concubines are not blessed. The concubines are not blessed with the emperor's heir!"

Wrong thing to say again!

Shen Ruochen wished he could give himself a few slaps. Anyone who deliberately doesn't want a child must be pregnant.

Shen Ruochen looked at Xiao Walnut subconsciously, and Xiao Walnut's expression seemed to say: I think everyone is just like you!

Shen Ruochen felt a little ashamed and said, "Then I will ask the emperor to go to your place to accompany you more often."

After saying that, Kang Gui's hands froze, and he quickly calmed down and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam, but we can't say much about the Emperor's whereabouts."

Shen Ruochen burst into tears in his heart. Am I crazy? What should I say? Xiao Dezi, who was waiting on the side, also burned incense for his master in his heart. There were many people in the palace who loved Qiqiao Lingling. They grabbed a lot of them, but people like his master... were really rare.

Shen Ruochen lowered his head and bit his lip, but luckily Kang Guiren changed the subject and said, "My dear, this big princess is going to get married in autumn. It's too late to prepare things. What should I do?"

Shen Ruochen then raised his head, pretending that the embarrassment just now had not happened, and hurriedly followed, "It's only a few months now, is it too late?"

"Why have you forgotten? This woman's wedding needs to be prepared many years in advance. I heard that many wealthy families in the south start preparing from birth. Just a bed with thousands of works will take several years. It’s time!”

"Oh, I am a concubine in the family. I really don't know this. But when you said this, I really remembered that when I was the eldest sister, the eldest lady seemed to have prepared a lot of things, but later she didn't Even after using it, my eldest wife kept crying." Shen Ruochen said casually.

Kang Guiren took a breath and realized that he had said something wrong. He knelt down and apologized, "I forgive you, I didn't mean to say it."

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Ruochen hadn't reacted yet, "What are you doing kneeling down? Get up quickly!"

Kang Guiren didn't dare. Emperor Yuan De made it clear that if Shen Ruochen lived well, then she could live well too, and her family could also benefit; on the contrary...

"Empress..."

"Oh, I understand," Shen Ruochen reacted and hurriedly helped Kang Guiren, "Why are you so nervous? I said this myself. Why are you abusing me!"

"It's all because of my concubine's fault. It reminded the queen of unhappy things."

"I'm not unhappy!" Shen Ruochen shrugged, "You're overthinking."

Little Walnut hurriedly stepped forward to help Kang Guiren up, "You will know after a while, little master. Our master is very easy to talk to and doesn't care about this at all."

Kang Guiren stood up uneasily, and saw that Shen Ruochen was really not angry, and then he gradually felt relieved. "Mother and concubine, I think it's too late to do anything first. Why don't we ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go out and purchase some? But what about the money matters?"

Shen Ruochen was also a little embarrassed. He just ignored things and knew that the emperor always advocated frugality. If he bought it from outside, he would have to peel off an extra layer of skin. The cost would really be a lot higher.

"How about I ask the Emperor? Let's see what the Emperor says?" Shen Ruochen said, "Anyway, he said he would come over tonight, so I'll ask him. It's not easy for us to talk about this kind of thing."

Kang Guiren nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, my concubine. I'm waiting for your letter."

Kang Guiren looked at the double-glazed calligraphy clock in the room that was newly rewarded by Emperor Yuande, and said, "It's getting late. I must be preparing to welcome the emperor. I also have some lists of concubines that I haven't read yet. Concubine I’ll take my leave now, my dear, you are busy first.”

"I have nothing to prepare," Shen Ruochen said casually, "If you are busy, just... Huh? What did you just say you were going back for?"

Shen Ruochen sat up from the recliner in excitement, looking very anxious.

Kang Guiren was a little confused, "You..."

"Say it quickly!"

"The concubine said that she should go back and look at the list. This princess is the legitimate daughter, and she was married to Mongolia. Logically speaking, in addition to the girl who comes with her when she gets married, there should be one hundred palace maids and eunuchs each. The concubine should go back and check it carefully. .”

"You mean, there are so many people in the palace, how can you have a list? Is there a list of associate ministers in the Sixth Palace that you can look at?" Shen Ruochen suddenly felt like he had gone through the iron shoes and found nowhere, and it took no effort to get it, and he couldn't help laughing. He said, "Is it true?"

Kang Guiren nodded subconsciously, "Yes, every palace, including masters and slaves, has a list of people. If we don't pay monthly money, wouldn't there be chaos?"

"Oh my God! That's it! Where is the list?" Shen Ruochen asked anxiously.

"It's in my concubine's palace! I showed it to the emperor last time. Don't you remember, my dear?"

"I didn't pay attention to that at the time!" Shen Ruochen waved his hand and urged happily, "Tell the girl to bring the list and let me take a look. Quick!"

"Empress, you..."

"Oh, stop being so impatient, I'm anxious to read it now," Shen Ruochen happily stood up with his shoes down and said to Xiao Dezi, "You go along and bring me the list safely! I'm going to do it now Want to see!"

"But isn't the emperor coming soon?" Kang Guiren looked at the clock, "Either the empress will be checking the accounts, or there won't be enough time."

"Who is settling the accounts? I want to see the list! Go quickly, go quickly!" Shen Ruochen urged, "When the emperor comes, just stay with him and talk for a while. Don't leave in a hurry."
