Emperor Yanping came down from the morning court and as soon as he arrived at the Lanzheng Hall, he saw Queen Sheng Ran with a stern face in front of the memorial.
No need to guess, those admonishers must have found a unique angle to criticize Sheng Yuan in the border town.
"Queen, how did they impeach my sister-in-law this time? Tell me and it will make me happy."
Sheng Ran, who was originally trying to remember the names of these officials, heard this and couldn't laugh or cry. She stood up and saluted, and said angrily: "How can you be like this? Are you laughing at the admonishing officials or making fun of Sister Yuan?"
Emperor Yanping sat down with a smile, and let the palace maid wait on him to change clothes and wipe his hands. After finishing the work, he breathed a sigh of relief, took his wife's hand, and sat cross-legged on the couch together.
He picked up a few memorials, glanced at them briefly, and then casually threw them aside. While having morning tea with his queen, he talked about the cute daily life of the little princess Zhiwa.
As he spoke, Emperor Yanping put down his bowls and chopsticks and sighed quietly: "Sister An, in a few days it will be time to close the book and celebrate the festival. When the New Year is over and political affairs resume, you can follow me to the morning court. "
"Clang." Sheng An's spoon fell on the plate. After being stunned, she looked frightened and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...are you unhappy?"
Emperor Yanping saw that her expression was urgent and her words were hurried, and she even forgot to use honorifics in her words. He couldn't help but feel anxious: "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! I'm very fine. Didn't the imperial doctor check your pulse yesterday? You If you are worried, he will come back later, just keep an eye on him."
After hearing what he said, she carefully looked at his face for a long time, and found that it was rosy. Sheng Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty, you are such a good person, why do you say this?"
Emperor Yanping waited until the atmosphere had calmed down a lot, and then he looked serious again: "Although I am in good health, I still feel tired after worrying too much. You also heard what the imperial doctor said, I need to recuperate, but the government cannot be delayed for a day. . Queen...Sister An, I need help."
When he spoke with emotion, he couldn't help but hold Sheng Ran's hand: "But in this world, there are only two people that I can trust wholeheartedly, one is you and the other is Zhanwa. But how old is Zhanwa? She is still A doll that only knows how to chew its own feet, if I don’t rely on you as my wife, who else can I rely on?”
Even though Sheng Ran was moved, she still shook her head: "The emperor is so heartless. Since he became the queen, these memorials have never been taken away from his hands in a day? You taught me how to read the memorials and understand the affairs of the country, and I also helped to review and select them. Isn't this enough?" ".
Emperor Yanping was not in a hurry, smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's not enough. I think you can analyze the current situation with me, identify loyal women, and decide the overall situation... If you don't go to the court in person, how can you tell me about it?" Can you help me share my thoughts?"
"This..." Sheng Ran hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid the ministers above are going to make trouble with us."
"It doesn't matter. If you want to make them adapt to your presence, naturally you can't do it overnight. We can do it step by step. The first step is to start from the rear of the palace where the foreign ministers don't know."
"The Queen is in charge of the government?" Sheng An was relieved but also a little puzzled.
Emperor Yanping shook his head proudly and said, "There is a back room in the imperial palace. It is just behind the throne and is only separated by a wall. The voices of discussion in front of the hall can be clearly heard. Sister An will listen to the affairs in the back for the time being. I don't think anyone will say anything. Even if there are people You know, I can shut them up in the name of needing the Queen’s care.”
