Today, Queen Mother Shu wore a goose yellow wide-sleeved double-breasted dress and a floor-length phoenix tail skirt. Not only is she elegant and dignified, but she also looks particularly young and energetic.
The Supreme Emperor looked at her in front of him, but suddenly remembered the time when she was only twenty-eight years old before being selected into the palace.
Looking at such a beautiful Queen Mother... he seemed to become younger in an instant.
The anger in the Emperor's eyes immediately dissipated. He stood up and took the Queen Mother Shu's hand, "Why do you look so good today?"
Queen Mother Shu hummed, "Isn't my concubine good-looking in the past?"
The Supreme Emperor laughed, "It's so beautiful! It's just that I'm old. After so many years, everyone in the palace has grown old... Why are you the only one who still looks the same as before?"
Empress Dowager Shu raised her eyebrows, "I have my own tricks. Do you really want to listen to me?"
The Supreme Emperor frowned.
His chest was filled with panic, as if by reflex, he was always afraid of hearing other people's insidious praise of Wen Jin.
It seems that praising Wen Jin is making him ungrateful!
He is the emperor! It's the Supreme Emperor!
Wen Jin was loyal to him and served him! That's as it should be!
Why should he be grateful! He doesn't!
The Emperor glanced sideways at Queen Mother Shu...
It has been decades, why hasn't time left a trace on her face?
Her skin is still so young, not even a wrinkle at the corner of her eyes!
But he suddenly didn't want to ask anymore...it was Wen Jin's credit for asking!
The Supreme Emperor snorted.
Queen Mother Shu was not in a hurry.
If the Supreme Emperor doesn't ask, she can keep her composure and say nothing, let's see who can hold it back first.
The Supreme Emperor held her hand and touched the back of her hand...
"It's so different!"
A few days ago, he also touched Princess Zhuang's hand... Women in the palace love to take care of themselves. But Concubine Zhuang's hands felt obviously different from those of Empress Dowager Shu!
"Say it!" the Supreme Emperor muttered softly.
Empress Dowager Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I am good at keeping in good health. This way of keeping in good health is also simple, that is, don't let external things disturb your mind. External things have their own laws."
"I let external things take their course, and my heart is at ease. No matter the situation, I am happy in it. People in the concubine's palace say that I am getting younger and younger as I live!"
She didn't praise Wen Jin? Didn't you say it was all Wen Jin's fault?
The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but look at her one more time and hummed, "You are just trying to persuade me, since you let me go, just don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty!"
Empress Dowager Shu said, "I didn't say anything. It was because the Supreme Emperor wanted to ask me about ways to prolong life and stay young forever, so I said it."
"This method doesn't sound difficult, but there are only a few people who can do it. I'm lucky enough to have my concubine discover the method."
She raised her hand to caress her face. Her behavior was cute and cute, which made her look even younger.
The Supreme Emperor looked a little unhappy when he saw her complacent look, "Huh! Chen'er only loves Wen Jin. After so many years, they only have a child from Yu'er! Although Yu'er has been established as the crown prince! But... what if something unexpected happens? Woolen cloth?"
"Okay, even if Yu'er is in good health. But Yu'er has no biological brothers, not even a common brother, and I, the leader of the country, will fall by the wayside in the future! You don't worry! Your hair is long, but your knowledge is short!"
After the Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Queen Mother Shu.
She shouldn't be able to laugh after being scolded in front of her like that, right?
Unexpectedly, she was still playing with the golden fan in her hand, smiling like a flower.
"Ignorant women and children! How can you still laugh? Chen'er's country! In the future, Yu'er's country! I don't know if I can sit still... You still... ugh!" The Supreme Emperor hit the table with his fist.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..." Queen Mother Shu shook her fan, "Your Majesty, you said that back then..."
The Supreme Emperor looked at her angrily, frowned and said, "What was it?"
Queen Mother Shu chuckled twice, and her silver bell-like laughter made her even more youthful and energetic.
Although the Supreme Emperor has been scolding and belittling her... he is still envious and jealous in his heart. People who don't worry really have an easy life!
Empress Dowager Shu said calmly, "When you were still the Crown Prince, was the late Emperor like you today, thinking too much and worrying too much?"
"Of course, you don't dote on just one person, you dote on many people!"
"I wonder if the late emperor is worried that you will put too much thought into the harem and delay the political affairs of the previous dynasty?"
Queen Mother Shu covered half of her face with a round fan.
The half of her face exposed outside the fan looked particularly playful.
The Supreme Emperor's face froze, and he was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Queen Mother Shu finished hitting the stick and quickly gave her a candy, "Of course, it turns out that the Supreme Emperor doesn't actually need to worry about the late Emperor."
"You have always been diligent in government affairs. The harem is just your second battlefield to balance the power of the previous government."
"Or maybe, it's better to be better than someone who is good at learning. Your son doesn't need a second battlefield, and the things of the previous dynasty were settled in the previous dynasty?"
The Emperor's face was tense and his hands were clenched into fists.
He stared at Queen Mother Shu fiercely.
Queen Mother Shu shook her folding fan, which was sprinkled with floral water given to her by Wen Jin. Such a fan made people feel happy both physically and mentally.
She turned her face away from the Emperor's ferocious expression.
She is already the Queen Mother! Do we still need to look at other people’s faces?
The Supreme Emperor was angry for a long time and slammed the table, "Call Fang Xu to come in and let's play cards!"
"Hey! That's so good, my concubine's hands are itchy too!" Empress Dowager Shu slapped the fan, and an excited smile appeared on her already young face, which made her look even more energetic.
The Supreme Emperor looked at her fair and delicate face with growing envy in his heart.
Fang Xu came in and played Landlords with the two big guys.
Ji Xiang, who was guarding outside the door, rolled his eyes twice and ran forward when he had time.
Xiao Yuchen was in the imperial study room at this time.
Jixiang came outside the imperial study room, only to find a crowd of ministers kneeling inside.
He was from the same hometown as the eunuch at the door. He winked and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Hush -" the eunuch at the door of the royal study gave him a wink, "Don't get into trouble, someone will definitely be beaten today, and the torture instruments of the court staff are ready."
Ji Xiang was secretly surprised.
He was about to retreat quietly when he heard the ministers inside exhorting, "The emperor is already thirty years old. Although there is a prince in the East Palace, the prince is still young after all. The emperor has only a few heirs. Filling the harem is not the sole responsibility of the emperor, but a family affair!" It is a matter related to our country, Daliang, Jiangshan and Jiji."
Xiao Yuchen sneered, "It seems that all of you who love me are truly loyal and patriotic."
"I asked you to draft a policy to promote enlightenment literacy education throughout the country. Have you drafted it?"
The ministers were silent for a moment, "...it is being drafted."
“Because I had no previous experience, I drafted it without a clue, so I seemed to be focusing on the beginning rather than the end.”
Xiao Yuchen laughed loudly, with a strong sense of ridicule.
"For a plan that is so conducive to the construction of our beams, I asked you to draw up a plan and push back and forth! How dare you call yourself 'loyal to the emperor and patriotic'?"
"Don't abuse these words! Don't keep your mind on the right path! Do you think I don't know? You all have girls of the right age in your family."
"What? You want to send your daughter of the right age to the palace to blow some wind in my ears?"
"I would like to advise you ministers to put your thoughts on the right things that benefit the country and the people! Don't just think about petty tricks to win favor between the bed and the bed!"
What Xiao Yuchen said was really unpleasant.
And he cursed so loudly in public that the faces of several ministers almost burned with heat!
They wished they could swear in public that they would never send their daughter to the palace!
But if the oath is taken too early and the emperor is thinking about choosing a concubine, wouldn't he give up the opportunity to others?
Xiao Yuchen saw that they were blocked and speechless for a while.
He laughed again, "The plan to promote education has been released..."
