In the big banquet in the palace, all the civil and military officials of the entire Yanjing City participated, and for Long Bo, those who were close to him became closer and closer, and those who were not familiar with him were also shocked by Long Bo's identity and power.

The stars were scarce at night, the banquet ended slowly, and only Zhao Shu, the queen and the three concubines were left in the palace hall.

Looking at Zhao Shu and the three of them, Long Bo gently picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, looked at the queen and the three concubines and said with a smile: "The old man followed the queen mother at the age of sixteen, when the concubine died, let the old man take care of His Majesty when he was a child, these old men always remember the words of the concubine, and serve Your Majesty carefully."

Over the years, the old man has watched His Majesty grow up, practice martial arts, establish a foundation, and watch His Majesty marry the queen and three concubines. ”

Speaking of this, Long Bo took a sip of wine gently, and it seemed that some words were brewing, but the queen and the three concubines didn't know what Long Bo was going to say, and their faces suddenly showed bitterness, they looked at His Majesty, and found that His Majesty was also embarrassed, and they didn't know how to speak, but they just looked at their queen and the three concubines with a wry smile.

Long Bo looked at everyone, gently put down the wine glass, and pretended to be drunk: "The old man is drunk, so he dares to offend and say some drunken words, if there is anything disrespectful, the queen and the concubine will atone for their sins." ”

"Uncle Long has served His Majesty for a long time, and is regarded by His Majesty as an elder, and the concubine should serve him as an elder and listen to the teachings of the elders. Queen Lin Qin'er said with a smile, but her heart was full of bitterness, thinking about how to deal with Long Bo's reprimand.

Long Bo looked at the queen, bowed down and said: "The old slave has reached the age of what he wants, and I am afraid that he will go to see the queen mother in a few years, but at that time, if the queen mother asks whether His Majesty has any heirs, the old slave will be ashamed of the queen mother's instructions." ”

When Long Bo said this, the queen immediately got up and pleaded guilty with an embarrassed face: "This is the fault of the concubine and others. Lin Qin'er moved, and the two sisters of the Yin family and Princess Lotus of Xixia all knelt on the ground.

The movement of the four of them made Long Bo stunned, and immediately stepped forward to help the queen and the others, and sighed softly: "How can the old slave take on such a heavy gift from the queen and the concubines." It's just that the heir is the foundation of the country, the old slave in the south often heard people talk about this matter, the court ministers are not good at words, the old slave is old, and there is no family heir, so he has the courage to advise His Majesty and the queen, my Song Dynasty royal family Ding is not prosperous, Renzong is the emperor of the world, but there is no heir, resulting in the turmoil of the country, Zhezong is also no heir to the Taishang Emperor, during which the country is also turbulent, consuming the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the old slave has no other thoughts, just want to say that the heavenly family is selfless. ”

When Long Bo spoke, he slowly knelt down, his expression was full of solemnity and worry, and Zhao Shu on the side immediately helped Long Bo up, and said with a wry smile on his face: "This is the fault of the widow, I can't complain about the queen and the concubines." ”

"Your Majesty has the world in mind, busy with the world's major events, but also delayed by the Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing, but the old slave hopes that His Majesty can take more concubines and give birth to more heirs, if Your Majesty has something to blame in his heart, the old slave will go to Yanfu Palace tomorrow and ask the Emperor to choose a concubine for His Majesty. ”

Long Bo looked at Zhao Shu and said, but in his words, he was talking to Lin Qin'er and many noble concubines, which made Lin Qin'er feel bitter, and he also understood that this Long Bo must have thought that he was a jealous woman, this Long Bo thought so, and the people of the world were afraid that it was even more so.

"Queen Mother, all the noble concubines, the old slave is too talkative, please punish the mother!"

Long Bo's words were full of light sighs, which made the two sisters of the Yin family look embarrassed and helpless, Princess Lotus on the side also understood the identity of this Long Bo in her heart, saying such words, it must be the courtiers who want to say but dare not say, if everyone has no heirs, and there are no concubines in the harem, the situation of the four is afraid to be even more embarrassing, especially if they are from the Western Xia, and now that the status of the Western Xia is declining, those courtiers may be the first to take their own knife.

When the four of them were worried in their hearts, Lin Qin'er on the side immediately helped Long Bo up, and said with a smile: "Long Bo, I heard that Zong Ze has a woman called Zong Yun'er, beautiful and dignified, and wants to be a matchmaker for His Majesty, but Zong Ze is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and the concubine is inconvenient to speak. ”

Lin Qin'er's words made Long Bo suddenly happy, but Zhao Shu on the side was full of embarrassment, looked at Lin Qin'er lightly, and saw that he was the queen, his expression was firm, revealing a non-negotiable look, and his face suddenly smiled bitterly: "You guys sold me for a good price!"

When Zhao Shu smiled bitterly, Long Bo bowed down and said: "It's all the old slave who talks too much, if Your Majesty has anger in his heart, please send it to the old slave!"

"Longbo doesn't have to be like this, since it is a happy event, then take this opportunity to gather his forces and show peace to the world. Zhao Shu smiled and invited Long Bo to his seat, knowing that Long Bo's words were meant by the courtiers, and he did not refuse at the moment, just taking this opportunity to ease the increasingly belligerent atmosphere in the country.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a reluctant request, I hope to visit the Emperor!"

Long Bo pleaded, Zhao Shu looked at Long Bo, nodded, Long Bo bowed down and thanked him and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the old slave is dark, and the old slave will no longer disturb Your Majesty, the queen and the concubines." Long Bo left the palace with a smile and immediately got into a carriage, which went to the mansion that Zhao Shu had prepared for Long Bo.

It's just that in this mansion, Jiang Kui, the important ministers of the imperial court, Beishang Changru, Han Shizhong, Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, Su Zhiyuan and others all gathered here, and when they saw Long Bo coming back, they couldn't help but step forward and said, "Long Bo, how is it?"

Hearing everyone's words, Long Bo stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has agreed to take a concubine, and the elder of the sect has to prepare!"

"Haha, I said that Long Bo is out of the horse, it will definitely be done!" Mo Yangzi laughed, and everyone was also overjoyed.

Zong Ze also smiled: "This matter seems to be a bit hypocritical for the old man, for the sake of the society, the old man doesn't care about these false names, but the old man thinks that since His Majesty and the queen have agreed to take a concubine, we will simply accept some more people for Your Majesty and make a big happy event!"

Zong Ze's words made everyone happy, Jiang Kui stroked his palms and laughed: "Master Zong's words are not bad, since you accept a concubine, you will pay more for Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that everyone had such thoughts, Beishang Changru said lightly: "This matter is okay, but the concubines of the Great Song Dynasty royal family have always been selected from ordinary families, so as not to form a foreign relative force, and the sect marshal is upright, so there is no need to worry, but if it is someone else, it must be considered, so this time the concubine selection must be stricter."
