In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 247: Entering the Palace to Give Gifts

The next day, Su Yueyao didn't get up until Yang Qian called her several times.

There was some fatigue in Yang Qianxun's eyes. They did act a little foolishly yesterday.

"Ayao, you have to get up. If you don't, your majesty will leave the court."

"Okay, I'll get up right away." Su Yueyao patted her cheeks gently and became a little more sober.

After Su Yueyao packed up, she had a simple breakfast and set off for the palace.

When she arrived at the palace gate, Su Yueyao found Cui Yiyang standing at the gate.

"Ms. Su."

"Yiyang, why are you here? Aren't you going to the Imperial Guards camp for training today?"

"I've been waiting for you today." Cui Yiyang said as he took a box from Su Yueyao.

"Thank you very much. I was just thinking about having to carry these two boxes and walk such a long palace path!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"I've been a bit busy recently. I made some of the bows and crossbows you provided last time, and the results are very good. I'm already selecting suitable imperial guards for training! And the training method provided by Lady Su is also very effective."

"I'm glad I can help you. I also brought something very useful to you today. When I see His Majesty, I'll ask His Majesty what he thinks."

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it."

The two walked on the palace road, chatting about recent events.

"You've taken in another servant, haven't you?"

Su Yueyao didn't expect Cui Yiyang to ask this. When she was about to answer, Cui Yiyang immediately said.

"Please don't misunderstand, Miss Su. I don't mean anything else. It's just that there have been many rumors in Fengdu recently that the concubine you married is extremely beautiful. I am a little curious." Cui Yiyang said immediately because he was afraid that Su Yueyao would think he was jealous.

"Yes, I married one. There is some connection between them. It is not convenient to tell Yiyang too much. You will know why I married a concubine, Yiyang!"

"Ms. Su is now the woman Fengdu most wants to marry. Aren't they all eyeing your backyard? My father said yesterday that I'm fast, otherwise I would have no chance." Cui Yiyang said a little embarrassedly.

Su Yueyao glanced at the embarrassed Cui Yiyang, and her lips twitched slightly. Where did the image of this resolute and cold general change so quickly?

"I have no plans to marry or take in another concubine at the moment, so don't worry! After I marry the eldest prince, I will marry you."

"Miss Su is really not going to marry a husband? My father is already matching our horoscopes." Cui Yiyang said with a smile visibly heard.

"You just said that you were just curious. It seems that you don't want me to marry more women." Su Yueyao joked.

"Ms. Su, there is no man in the world who wishes to share his wife with others, but there is no other way and he is powerless."

"With the current female birth rate, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for men to get married in a few decades," said Cui Yiyang.

Su Yueyao didn't know what to say. Women were rare, so they had to be served by men now. She was powerless to change anything. She was so incompetent, and if women didn't have a high status here, she would probably die quickly.

"Yi Yang, is it true that His Majesty is going to hold a beauty contest?" Su Yueyao said, trying to change the subject.

"Really? An imperial decree has been issued today. Your Majesty was forced by the censors in the court. Your Majesty only has one daughter now. She is the daughter of an eunuch close to your Majesty. Her status has always been criticized by the ministers."

"Well! Your Majesty has a hard time too. Not only does he have to worry about state affairs, but he also has to work hard to have a baby." Su Yueyao said with emotion.

"Ms. Su is right. Your Majesty doesn't really want to hold a beauty contest, but some things are not so easy to stop."

Cui Yiyang accompanied Su Yueyao all the way to the door of the imperial study and handed the box to Su Yueyao.

"Thank you Yiyang, I'll go in first." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Su Yueyao entered the imperial study alone.

"Your Majesty, Su Yueyao, your humble servant, pays respect to you."

"Get up!" The Queen looked up at Su Yueyao and said.

"Your Majesty, I am here today to ask for the hand of the eldest prince. I have prepared four gifts, and I hope Your Majesty will not dislike them."

After hearing this, the Queen waved her hand, and an eunuch came up and opened the box that Su Yueyao had prepared.

The first thing was the painting of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix that Su Yueyao had drawn that day. When the Queen saw it, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes and she immediately walked over.

"It's a nice painting." said the Queen.

"Fu'an, hang the painting in my bedroom. I will come back and take a good look at it."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Fuan immediately signaled the eunuch to put away the painting.

The eunuch carefully put away the painting and retreated.

The second item was one hundred thousand taels of silver notes prepared by Su Yueyao.

"Your Majesty, these 100,000 taels of silver were earned by me myself. This is my token of my gratitude."

The Queen nodded. Su Yueyao didn't have her mother's family to rely on, so it was thoughtful of her to come up with so much silver on her own.

The third item, Su Yueyao took out a contract and said, "Your Majesty, I will auction the paintings at the Qilu Bookstore in Fengdu in the future. I will also write some articles similar to those encouraging learning and put them in the bookstore for scholars to read."

"My goal is to open seven bookstores throughout Fengluan Country, so that scholars from all over the country can have the opportunity to read better articles."

"This contract is a gift of 30% of Qilu Bookstore's profits to Your Majesty." Su Yueyao explained.

Fu'an came down and handed the contract to the Queen. The Queen opened it and took a look. It was the first time she had received such a contract. Someone could give her something so openly.

The empress was even more satisfied with what Su Yueyao said. It would be a great achievement if there were more and better books available in bookstores for scholars to read.

After all, most of the rare books with literary attainments are collected and only allowed to be read by their descendants. There are almost no people like Su Yueyao who are so generous as to allow the public to read them.

"I took 30% of your bookstore. Do you want anything?"

"Your Majesty, I want you to give me a plaque." Su Yueyao was just thinking about how to start the conversation when His Majesty asked.

"I said, you have your own plan in mind. Since this is beneficial to the people, I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the fourth item is a book I present to you. Please read it yourself."

Su Yueyao took out the Thirty-Six Strategies, and Fuan immediately walked over, took it and handed it to the Queen.

The queen opened the first page and began to read. After a cup of tea, the queen did not even look up.

After another cup of tea, the empress looked up at Su Yueyao and her eyes changed.

"Su Yueyao, is this a military book?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I am willing to present the military book to Your Majesty to help Your Majesty train more outstanding generals and protect the safety of the people of Fengluan Country."

“Okay…Okay…”

"Su Yueyao, do you have any other books?"

"Your Majesty, it is gone at the moment. I will try my best to find it." Su Yueyao said.

The Queen looked at Su Yueyao for a while and said, "I will not ask where this book came from, but Su Yueyao, any books that benefit the country and the people must be handed over to the court in the future."

"I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will not do anything to harm the Fengluan Kingdom." Su Yueyao said in a firm tone.

"Okay! What do you think of this military book?"

"The military book has been presented to you. You can arrange it. However, I want to give a copy to the deputy commander. After all, he is also married to me."

"Yes, but this book cannot be passed on to anyone except the deputy commander."

"I understand."

"Deputy Commander Fu'an Xuan, Su Yueyao, go meet the eldest prince! Your wedding is not far away, and the eldest prince's dowry will be delivered to your house in a few days." said the Queen.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Su Yueyao bowed and stepped back, then left the imperial study.

Who the Queen would give the Military Book to and how to arrange it was not her business.

What she had to think about now was how to get along with the eldest prince. She was really afraid that he would go crazy like before. Her heart had been feeling bad recently, and she was frightened so much that her heartbeat got faster and faster! !

【Please use love to generate electricity..】

Many of you probably don't like the character Xingchen... The traffic has dropped again... I'm going to cry...

In between, there are people who gave it one or two stars... and there are all kinds of rumors saying it's not well written... I'm going to cry...

If you don't like it, you can swipe it away. Please don't give bad reviews. It's too difficult to write....

I just continued writing according to the characters I had in mind. I really didn't mean to torture the heroine. It would be fine if the heroine grew up slowly later on...

After the heroine marries the eldest prince, she will arrange for the first baby to be born... and will give it to the master...

Please show some mercy~~~
