Qifeng Palace.
As the palace of the harem master and the queen, it is not comparable to Ninghua Palace in terms of scale or splendor, let alone the unknown palace where Ye Yan lives.
It is not that the queens of the Daqian Dynasty all liked pomp and luxury. There were also many queens who liked a clean and elegant life.
No matter where the position is, while enjoying all this, she is also fulfilling the duties of a queen.
The queen's mother-in-law is the most important person in the world, and her food and clothing represent the prosperity of the dynasty to a certain extent.
If the life of a queen was very tight, no one would believe how prosperous this dynasty was.
Of course, a good life does not mean extravagance and waste.
Otherwise, the queen will be criticized by everyone in the world.
As for the emperor who is above the queen, it goes without saying that the whole world belongs to him and he can do whatever he wants.
But one thing is certain, no matter which emperor he is, he cannot satisfy the people of the world.
Even the more diligent the emperors were, the more they were scolded. On the contrary, the common people would not scold those emperors who had done nothing.
While the queen was eating the snacks prepared in the imperial dining room, she listened to the maids and eunuchs around her reporting on the major and minor events that had occurred in the palace yesterday.
Under normal circumstances, her main purpose is to master the news of the harem so that she can take charge of the harem and make it stable.
For example, if the emperor stayed in a certain concubine's palace last night, she would also record the specific time.
Just as the emperor needs to go to court in the morning, this is also her job.
In fact, there weren't many things in the harem that required her attention, so she was just going to listen to them as a matter of routine today.
The actual situation is also the same. Emperor Ye Yucheng is obsessed with state affairs and is not very interested in matters such as men and women. The concubines can't find a chance to compete for favor.
Since there is no way to compete for favor, it is not impossible for everyone to live their own lives in peace and harmony.
However, when mentioning Ninghua Palace, Seventh Prince Ye Yan was inevitably mentioned.
When she heard that Ye Yan had lit up the lamp in the study and read all night last night, the queen's face showed a little concern.
"The Seventh Emperor has really started to grow up. I think my sister, Concubine Xian, will be very pleased."
The queen said something casually, but she felt as if she was laughing or laughing.
She really didn't expect that her seventh emperor's temperament would change so much after having a woman she liked.
This made her sigh that being young is really good.
She thought that before she and the emperor got married, they had only heard each other's names but had never met each other.
This is also the current situation of most ancient men and women, and it belongs to an ancient etiquette.
This is also the reason why Ye Chen has never met Lin Xianyu even though she has brought Lin Xianyu with her since she was a child.
She didn't want Ye Chen and Lin Xianyu to meet too early, mainly because she didn't want Lin Xianyu to become a factor that might affect Ye Chen's growth.
Now it seems that what she did was right, and Ye Yan is a living proof.
But Ye Yan's abnormality was a good thing for her.
Just as the Tutor's Mansion thought, Lin Xianyu was originally the concubine she had prepared for Ye Chen. Lin Xianyu was the perfect candidate for the future queen in terms of appearance and talent.
In the entire Daqian Dynasty, the only one who could compare with Lin Xianyu was Lin Ranyu who also became the young lady of Taifu Mansion.
But Lin Ranyu's appearance is quite charming, and her figure is also overly mature.
Such a woman is most suitable as the emperor's favorite concubine. If she is a queen, she has to consider the emperor's body.
After all, if the emperor often stayed in the palace of his beloved concubine at night, he would be criticized by the ministers and people in the world. However, pampering the queen too much is a matter of course and no one dares to say anything.
Yesterday, her brother Lin Fengjing came to visit and mainly talked about the affairs between Ye Yan, Ye Chen, Lin Xianyu and Lin Yuyu.
Now it seems that, as his brother said, Ye Yan is interested in Lin Yuyu, and not just in an ordinary way.
This immediately solved two worries for her.
First, she didn't need to promise Ye Yan the future queen she was optimistic about, and second, she didn't need to take Lin Yuyu with her.
After Lin Ranyu matured, she was prepared to take Lin Ranyu with her and take care of him.
The reason is simple. As Lin Yuyu grows older, Lin Yuanyu's allure to men continues to increase.
Under that beautiful appearance, she felt a little pressure as a queen.
Taking Lin Ranyu with her would prevent Ye Chen and even the Emperor Ye Yucheng from doing anything beyond her control.
As a queen, she knows better than anyone else that she must never overestimate the moral values of a royal child.
Especially when it comes to matters between men and women, for royal children, greed is often greater than moral values.
Thinking of this, the queen ordered a palace maid: "Let the imperial kitchen prepare three portions of my favorite snacks and deliver them to the Taifu's house as soon as possible. The extra portion this time will be given to the second lady of the Taifu's house. "
"My servant obeys your command, Queen."
Looking at the retreating maid, the queen smiled and thought to herself.
The Seventh Emperor and Concubine Xian, please let me, as a mother and sister, help you.
And almost at the same time, the two protagonists she was thinking about were having breakfast together.
Ninghua Palace.
"Yan'er, eat more. You worked hard last night studying. This is a sumptuous breakfast that the concubine specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare for you."
Concubine Xian looked at Ye Yan with a smile on her face and kept giving Ye Yan breakfast.
This breakfast was even more luxurious than the Queen's.
For this reason, Concubine Xian also deliberately used some of the palace expenses that should have belonged to her.
These expenses are included in her monthly expenses.
Once it is used up, she can only use her own private money.
As a noble concubine, she often had to hold banquets for the emperor's concubines who were close friends with her.
The queen and the two concubines with her were also at her banquet.
The harem is like that, today you entertain me, and I entertain you tomorrow, to maintain the relationship.
Otherwise, they would not be able to go out freely while staying in the harem, and they would be extremely bored.
Ye Yan touched his already full belly, then took the snack from Concubine Xian's hand and stuffed it into his mouth with a hesitant look.
There was no way, as an orphan, when he wrote this novel, he made the character of Concubine Xian a perfect mother for his children.
Now he is enjoying this maternal love, which is really hard to refuse.
He was just painting some paintings that were difficult to show to others easily. Why did it cause such a big fuss?
