"I bet the lady will win, she is the master of the harem after all."
Chang Ming was very confident in Chen Yuru's fighting ability. Zhao An smiled and said, "I bet there will be no results today."
"What do you mean?"
"Both of them will stay."
Zhao An winked, and Chang Ming froze. He really didn't believe in evil.
Time passed by minute by minute, Concubine Qin didn't leave, and Chen Yuru didn't leave either. Moreover, the two of them stopped quarreling and glared at each other.
One is the master of the harem, and the other relies on the nominal protection of the Queen Mother and refuses to retreat.
The empress snorted, rolled her sleeves and went to sit on the dragon chair, continuing to review the memorial.
Time flew by and it was midnight. Zhao An yawned and patted Chang Ming on the shoulder, "Brother, go to bed first. Remember to prepare a thousand taels of silver notes tomorrow."
Chang Ming was speechless.
He suddenly felt that Zhao An was so evil. As the lady's number one fan, he didn't understand her as well as this bastard.
Chen Yuru and Concubine Qin were really stiff all night!
The empress actually slept soundly on the dragon bed.
Early the next morning, two women stood in front of the dragon, waiting for him to get up and go to court.
Chen Yuru is the queen, and after staying up all night, her temperament still dominates Concubine Qin, but Concubine Qin is already so angry that she would have scratched her face to pieces if Chen Yuru had not been of high status.
But she also knew that the emperor was not to blame for this incident.
The power of the Chen family was overwhelming, and it was impossible for the emperor to favor Chen Yuru in front of her.
The empress opened the gauze curtain and said gently: "The two beloved concubines have worked hard to keep me awake at night. Go back to sleep. I will summon you if necessary."
The two of them had smiles on their faces, then glared at each other before leaving.
Chang Ming felt distressed and stepped forward to help his young lady. Concubine Qin said in a strange tone, "Sister Queen, you can't use the dragon seed to control your anger with me."
"Landering Hoof, you can't even think of succeeding if I'm here for one day."
"Chen Yuru, don't bully others too much!"
"What's wrong with bullying you? Do you have anyone in the court? I just want to bully you. You can complain to the Queen Mother."
Now that the emperor is not around, Chen Yuru no longer saves face for Concubine Qin. The sarcasm made Concubine Qin's eyes red and tears rolling down her cheeks.
She suddenly thought of what the emperor had said before, asking the Qin family to raise food for disaster relief and establish meritorious service to become an official.
This matter became more and more necessary, and she had to write another letter to urge it!
The little farce ended.
"all gone?"
Zhao An yawned repeatedly and entered the Nourishing Heart Hall. Before he could finish a sentence, he saw the empress sitting on the edge of the bed with a sullen face. She was extremely bitter and resentful.
"You are very good at hiding and leaving me alone in the fire pit."
"I was wronged."
Zhao An accompanied her and helped her massage with a smile. He kept talking about trains, and his big claws fell into the dragon robe uncontrollably. The empress shuddered, resisted and stood up to keep her distance, and coldly asked about the situation of the disaster relief.
Zhao An naturally wouldn't say much and kept it mysterious, making her nervous and uneasy.
When the task is completed, she will definitely be excited, and maybe she will devote herself to it.
Above the Golden Palace.
All civil and military officials reported the disaster.
Nowadays, food prices are soaring and there is no way to control them.
"Your Majesty, the queen empress is so kind that she allowed the Guangyuan Grain Bank to provide relief. The victims are filled with gratitude."
As soon as Mr. Wang appeared, he was simply disgusted by Chen Guogong. The latter was smiling but not smiling, "The queen has the world in mind, and I have a bright face, but I can't survive for a few days with the disaster relief food alone. Please solve the food price problem."
The empress was displeased: "Let me solve the problem, so what use do I need from you and other ministers?"
Her courage grew.
Chen Guogong didn't seem to expect to be reprimanded, and his old face suddenly fell, "Your Majesty taught me a lesson, but unfortunately I haven't thought of a way yet. On the other hand, Eunuch Zhao, led the order to go out of the city to provide disaster relief. You must have found a way to provide disaster relief and stabilize food prices, right?" .”
Uh-huh!
The Golden Palace is quiet.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the empress.
Chen Guogong was a master who could not suffer losses. When the emperor criticized him, he returned the favor in the blink of an eye.
The most popular person in front of the emperor is the only card available to the emperor. Naturally, he leaves the palace to do things for the emperor. If he has no idea, the emperor is destined to be disgraced today.
The empress was silent, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth.
Emperors in the past dynasties relied on their ministers to do things, but she could only rely on one eunuch to do things. Moreover, before going to court, she asked if she had any good ideas, but Zhao An didn't answer, so she didn't.
She couldn't explain why, but her influence in the court would be overshadowed by Chen Guogong again. It was certain that Chen Guogong would not give up.
The situation in the court was completely frozen, and the empress was trembling all over.
The ministers looked at each other and smiled secretly, waiting to see the joke.
Chen Guogong smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, if you have the means, you should use it as soon as possible. If you delay for one day, all the people of Daxia will lose."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision——"
With a crash, a group of officials came out and knelt down, and the shouts of the mountain spread outside the palace.
The empress's jade fingers clenched Ti Qing, and she stared angrily at the group of officials kneeling on the ground.
After a long time, she closed her eyes and whispered: "I..."
"Ahem, don't worry, your Majesty has already ordered us to go down, and we will see the results soon."
Zhao An said something unexpectedly, and all the officials immediately looked at him.
The empress was also stunned, and a flash of light appeared in her originally dim phoenix eyes.
Chen Guogong's old face turned cold, "Eunuch Zhao, you must be responsible for what you say. Disaster relief is no child's play. The slightest mistake will be irreversible."
"Hehe, my emperor is a man of civility and martial arts. He can easily deal with disasters in any area. However, your lords, you are not able to share the worries of the imperial court with your salary. It is really inappropriate for your majesty to do it yourself."
Zhao An opened his mouth and scolded the officials.
Chen Guogong's party, who were kneeling on the ground, suddenly started making noise.
Even a eunuch dares to speak nonsense!
This is simply unreasonable!
Zhang Qi said calmly: "Eunuch Zhao is right. I and other ministers should do our best to share your Majesty's worries."
Lord Wang said: "Second the proposal."
"I also second my opinion."
The Golden Palace was once again at war with each other.
Zhao An suddenly felt inexplicably heroic. This court was like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and he was not a spectator, but an animal tamer.
It's so cool to control Wang and Zhang Qi's party to bite Chen Guogong's henchmen!
Chen Guogong stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Since Your Majesty has great ambitions, I and other ministers should try our best to learn from His Majesty's methods."
The empress said proudly: "There is no need to worry about a mere disaster. In addition, when you write memorials, dear friends, please stop showing off your literary talent and write directly. Governing the country is like cooking fresh food, and you are better off doing more practical things. .”
"I know my mistake."
"Retreat from the court——"
The empress waved her sleeves and left the palace proudly.
Zhao An followed her out of the hall. She turned around and looked excited, "This is the first time I feel so happy, and you are indispensable."
Zhao An wanted to laugh, look at her now like a little daughter, it was really hard on her before.
And it won't be long before Chen Guogong's party can no longer stand up.
