As the master of a super empire, every move of the emperor attracts attention, so the sudden ban on the use of spices in the palace immediately made it difficult to do the spice business outside the palace.
The spices and rouge and gouache that the Queen had sent out of the palace for sale did not sell for much money, but they still gained a good reputation both inside and outside the court. Everyone praised the Queen for her virtuous character.
When the emperor came to pay his respects, the Queen Mother suddenly looked at the emperor with serious words and asked, "Emperor, how long has it been since you been to Jingren Palace?"
"There have been too many things going on in the previous dynasty recently. The rebellion in Luobuzangdanjin in the northwest continues. How can I have time to care about these things in the harem?"
"Luobuzangdanjin? Didn't you ask Nian Gengyao to lead the army to quell the rebellion?"
"Well, Nian Gengyao is a rare go-getter, but his brain is a bit awkward. In order to prevent him from raising his tail in the future, I specially sent the old Shiqiguo County Prince to be Nian Gengyao's deputy."
"That's good! Yunli is indeed loyal to the emperor."
At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt that the sandalwood in Kunning Palace had disappeared. He couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother curiously and asked, "Empress, is it because this slave Su Peisheng doesn't know how to do things? Why is there no sandalwood smell in your place?". .
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are not used to smelling spices now. The Ai family took the initiative to have the palace people clean it."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, the Ai family heard that you have often summoned that Chun Chang Zai recently?"
"Haha, I'm used to seeing the intrigues among those women, but I suddenly fell in love with Chun Changzai's innocence."
"Oh? Did the trivial matters in the harem disturb the emperor?" Although the emperor's words were an understatement, they were deafening to the ears of the queen mother.
"Empress Huang, you are an old man in this palace. You have never seen any kind of methods. The reason why I banned spices is to prevent some fools. Su Peisheng and others just found a lot of musk. "
"Huh? Your Majesty is a little worried." The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed at this time. After all, she was the ancestor of the harem in name only.
"Actually, compared with Emperor Ama, I am indeed too weak in terms of children. I will naturally put an end to the dirty tricks of people in the harem in the future."
"Huh? That's fine."
"Your Majesty, women are the most troublesome in getting along with each other. From now on, we need to stop giving food to each other to prevent vicious women from getting involved and causing trouble."
"Huh? Yes! The Ai family must tell the queen when we get back. Recently, the queen took the initiative to throw away spices and rouge gouache, and sold them outside the palace to donate to the victims outside the city."
"Empress, the Queen has done a great job! I will go to Jingren Palace later."
"Okay! Okay! Okay."
The emperor naturally knew that the old queen mother kept mentioning the queen, which was just to prevent him from neglecting the empress of the Qing Dynasty in the future, and the emperor naturally followed the trend of her words and agreed.
After leaving the Queen Mother's Kunning Palace, the emperor leaned on the dragon carriage and said, "Su Peisheng."
"The slave is here."
"Go to Jingren Palace."
"Yes! Your Majesty." After hearing the emperor's destination, Su Peisheng immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Show off to Jingren Palace."
The emperor lying on the dragon carriage was naturally very helpless. The queen, who was already in her early forties, was not as cute as the fourteen-year-old Fang Chunyi, so she really didn't want to go to Jingren Palace to see the queen.
The queen, who had received the eunuch's report in advance, was naturally surprised. She quickly changed into a new dress under the service of the maid, just to please her longing for husband.
The queen in the original drama was undoubtedly pitiable, and she did not receive Yongzheng's love and affection in the end. But this time the queen may seem even more miserable, because her husband has long been replaced by another man.
"I respectfully welcome the Emperor."
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Naturally, the emperor took the lead and walked into the Queen's Jingren Palace. As expected, there was no more surprise.
The unpleasant smell of spices, but when I turned to look at the queen's makeup again, my eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Queen, I didn't expect you to look so good without makeup." The emperor admired sincerely at this time, not knowing the meaning of the woman's thick rouge and gouache.
"Your Majesty, I should not use rouge and gouache carelessly."
"It's not your fault!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
"You all go down! I'm tired today, so I'm going to rest in Jingren Palace." Then the emperor rebuked the palace people around him, and suddenly felt that these guys were really an eyesore.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Although the daily life of the emperor and the empress also had many rules, they were much better than those of Chang Zai and Yaosheng. At least the empress did not need to be wrapped up in a quilt and forced to enter the palace.
"Your Majesty, I will change your clothes for you."
"Hmm." The emperor kept staring at the queen's delicate face without makeup, and the body fragrance of the queen was visible up close.
The queen had never felt such an aggressive gaze from the emperor, and the old couple blushed a little and their hearts jumped. At this time, only the emperor and the queen who was peeling onions were left in the palace, and the special atmosphere in the room immediately heated up sharply.
"Imperial Palace, I am tired today." The emperor looked at the queen's face and suddenly said with a wicked smile.
"Huh?" Sure enough, the queen's hand movements were obviously stagnant, and her expression of disappointment was visible to the naked eye.
"It's up to you tonight..."
"Huh?" The queen became excited again after understanding what the emperor meant. She felt like there was a surprise that was coming out of nowhere.
The emperor is naturally no longer the slender head he used to be. He will naturally have different methods of treating different women, so he treats Chun Changzai and the queen in front of him differently.
Although the empress of the Qing Dynasty in front of her was dignified and grand, she still successfully fulfilled all the emperor's requirements. It can be seen that even though she is an empress, she is just an ordinary woman.
"Your Majesty, is Yi Xiu dreaming?"
"Oh? Queen, you actually have such an erotic dream?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you...you make fun of Yi Xiu!"
"Haha, I will come to Jingren Palace often in the future, so don't let me down."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
"Also, I hate the tricks between you women. You are a rare smart person in the palace. Please don't do the dirty things like in the past."
"Yes! Your Majesty, my concubines must strictly manage the harem."
"Well, the affairs of Concubine Hua's assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace are mostly just for Nian Gengyao to see. After all, the war in the northwest is getting more and more tense."
"Your Majesty, I understand this."
"Well, let's rest then!"
Then the emperor lay down on the bed and fell asleep contentedly, while Queen Ulanara Yixiu lay on the emperor's chest and showed a satisfied smile...
