The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Dong Su has always disliked having too many people serving in the harem. It is said that in Empress Chen's palace, there were more than a hundred maids, palace servants, and eunuchs. Even when the emperor went to bed, there were still a few palace maids standing outside the tent.

Just thinking about that scene makes me terrified. She didn't like to use eunuchs. All the eunuchs in the Youzhou Palace were transferred from Chang'an, and there were no new ones.

In the past, when common people were poor and could not feed their children, they would send them to the palace to serve as eunuchs. But in Youzhou, even families who had just emerged from the mountains and had nothing could find a way to make a living after registering with the refugee office.

There were no longer even people selling their daughters as slaves, let alone those who castrated their sons and sold them as slaves.

Dong Su did not like eunuchs to serve her closely, and mostly arranged her to do rough work that palace maids could not do. Apart from female officials, the only people who served her closely were palace maids and nannies.

Moreover, there were very few palace servants in the palace where she lived. After nightfall, only a few were left to deliver messages and run errands. Palace servants were not allowed to enter her and Ling Moxiao's study and bedroom, and they were only allowed to clean at fixed times.

As for those who take care of the twins, no, it should be said that those who can meet the twins or encounter them in the palace have all been checked by her again and again.

It would never happen that a palace maid who was sweeping the garden was accidentally encountered. She was a spy sent by a noble family who did not want to move the capital and harm the twins.

Before, Ling Moxiao would say a few words about the lack of servants in the backyard, mainly because he was worried that Dong Su would be tired. But later he got used to it and felt that it was quieter with fewer servants in the palace.

But at this moment, seeing Dong Su making noodles for him personally, he couldn't help but hold her hand distressedly and said:

"It's so cold, let the small kitchen do this kind of thing."

Dong Su chuckled and said, "Your Majesty just got home, so just make this meal. I won't bother to cook for you if you want to eat later."

Ling Moxiao frowned slightly, and sat down to eat noodles with Ladongsu. Although there were no palace servants around, he still whispered:

"I prefer to hear my wife call me husband."

Dong Su's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed herself. Their child was already so grown up and they were an old couple. But as long as Ling Moxiao got close to her and said some sweet words, she couldn't help blushing.

He coughed lightly and quickly glanced at Ling Moxiao. Seeing that his eyes were full of expectation, it was really hard to refuse, so he nodded lightly and uttered the word "OK".

Ling Moxiao laughed, took two big bites of noodles, and said contentedly:

"It's this taste. When I was in Goryeo, every time I ate, I thought of the noodles made by Dongsu."

Take a look at the place where the crawling mat was placed before. Now the crawling mat is gone, replaced by a thick carpet, filled with toys and children's books, and two small wooden horses.

"Dabao and Xiaobao are already asleep, right? They're not even waiting for daddy to come home." Ling Moxiao's voice actually sounded a little aggrieved.

Dong Su laughed: "It's me who didn't let them wait."

Ling Moxiao glanced at his beautiful wife under the lamp and instantly understood: "Yes, it's better not to let them disturb you tonight."

Dongsu blushed again, but, well, she thought so too...

After a simple midnight snack, Dong Su took him to the newly renovated bathroom, changed into a bathrobe in the outer room with a floor heating, let his hair down, and entered the inner room.

Even though Ling Moxiao had seen the Huaqing Pool in Chang'an, he was still dazzled by the bathroom in front of him.

Marble floor tiles, sculptures of beauties bathing, small fountains, gold-inlaid shower heads, bathtubs of different shapes...

Shen Dongsu explained: "Do you think it's too extravagant, my husband? This is what Momen learned from Hu Shang. They want to make money from the rich and powerful. After decorating this bathroom, they can earn a thousand taels of silver!"

"But the royal family didn't take the lead, and the rich and powerful were afraid of overstepping their authority, so they didn't dare to install it even if they wanted to. So I asked Mo Men to build this bath in the palace for our family of four to use exclusively."

Ling Moxiao nodded and said, "My wife's things should be used no matter how luxurious they are. Let's go and take a dip."

Shen Dongsu lowered her head and said, "I have bathed with my child before, I will wait for my husband to bathe."

Ling Moxiao picked her up and jumped into the pool without saying a word.

Shen Dongsu screamed, Ling Moxiao steadied her and smiled in her ear: "Madam, do you remember when we first met?"

Shen Dongsu laughed dully and said, "I can't forget it even if I want to."

Ling Moxiao reached out and took off her wet bathrobe: "Then let's relive our memories."

Shen Dongsu held his big hand, her face flushed like blood:

"My husband is too impatient. Let me wipe your back first. There is one important thing I haven't done yet."

"what's up?"

Shen Dongsu's fingers slid across the scar on his collarbone:

"I told you how many scars your husband has on his body. I can count them clearly. Let's see if there are any new ones. If you add one more, you will be punished!"

Ling Moxiao took off his bathrobe consciously and let Shen Dongsu's small hands wander over his body, touching every scar, big and small, and counting them.

From the back to the lower back, to the abdomen and thighs...

Ling Moxiao couldn't bear it any longer, he picked her up and hung her on his waist, his burning lips moving down from her lips:

"I'll count the scars later. Now, there are more important things to do..."

With a muffled "hmm", the two of them were deeply connected in the warm bath water, as if they were in perfect harmony, so perfect.

The invisible longing turned into a tangible impulse. Dong Su was too delicate before, and she could never withstand Ling Moxiao's endurance and brute force in bed.

But after giving birth, her body seemed to have been transformed, becoming more delicate, softer and more tolerant.

It was like a warm embrace, wrapping around Ling Moxiao's body covered in iron and blood, and wrapping up half a year's deep longing.

It made him want to go deeper, wishing he could melt into it completely...

He liked looking at Dong Su's emotional face, so they mostly used facing postures, especially hanging her little feet on his shoulders so that he could kiss her crystal ankles by turning his head.

Occasionally, when he was in the mood, he would turn Dong Su around, bend over like a cat, hold her soft and slender waist with one hand, and run the other hand through her thick black hair to force her to turn her head.

She looked at him affectionately with eyes that seemed to reflect the stars in the sky and the rippling autumn water in the lake.

His thumb replaced her lips, rubbing them, and his tongue slid across them. Ling Moxiao instantly turned into a beast, wishing he could swallow her into his stomach...

After that, the two hugged each other tightly in the warm spring water, listening to each other's breathing. Ling Moxiao looked at her whole body that was as red as cherry blossoms, and couldn't let go.

"One more time." Ling Moxiao seemed to have just eaten a dessert and was not satisfied at all.

Shen Dongsu has always cooperated in sex. After all, this is one of the important indicators to test whether a couple is harmonious.

Besides, Ling Moxiao doesn't have any perverted hobbies. It's a matter of happiness for both parties, so why should he be so shy?

She rolled her eyes and wanted to get ashore, but her legs were weak and she felt that if she left Ling Moxiao, she would fall into the bathtub.

She pointed feebly to a cabinet above the bathroom and said, "There is a set of clothes inside. Husband, go put them on."

Ling Moxiao laughed: "What clothes are you wearing now?"

Anyway, you will be wrapped like a dumpling and stripped naked in the end.

Shen Dongsu refused and said in a tender voice: "Put it on. I just want to see you wearing that dress."

Ling Moxiao smiled dotingly. He wanted to go ashore by himself, but changed his mind and directly picked up Dong Su horizontally and opened the cabinet:

"What clothes? Madam, please put them on for your husband."

Shen Dongsu was even happier. She took out the nightgown she had prepared long ago, a dark-colored open-necked robe, and put it on Ling Moxiao.

Ling Moxiao looked down and felt that the dress looked familiar. He quickly remembered:

"Isn't this the dress I was wearing when you fell into my bath?"

Shen Dongsu's eyes showed a light that only men can have, and he swallowed his saliva:

"Yes, that's it. From now on, my husband will listen to my instructions."

Ling Moxiao raised his eyebrows and deliberately put his hands behind his back, pretending to be tied up by her:

"As my husband, I obey."

Shen Dongsu pushed him back into the bathtub: "Stand in the middle and don't move."

In the mist, the black robe was soaked and stuck to the skin tightly, revealing the perfect eight-pack abs. At the open collar, water drops on the collarbone slid down and into the abdomen...

Shen Dongsu seemed to have returned to the time when they first met. Only God knew how much she wanted to pounce on the "beauty" in front of her. It was a forbidden and profane feeling, the pleasure of plucking the flower from the high mountain.

Now, she has got what she wanted!

She took out her clothes, a bright red bikini, and half a fox mask of the same color. Well, she looked like a queen who would pounce on handsome men.

Unfortunately, the result was not as she wished, because when she appeared in this outfit, it was no exaggeration to say that Ling Moxiao's eyes glowed green and his voice became dry:

"What kind of dress is this?"

Shen Dongsu smiled and said, "I made the bathing suit myself. Does it look good?"

"Well, it looks good."

"However, you are not allowed to wear it in front of anyone except your husband, not even Yue Jian..."

Before he could finish his words, the creature who had just promised to listen to Shen Dongsu in everything turned into a wolf and grabbed the little fox in its mouth.

When the battlefield moved to the bedroom, it was already past midnight. Shen Dongsu was still wearing the bikini, and Ling Moxiao refused to let her take it off.

"We have an early court session tomorrow, can you please go to bed?" Shen Dongsu pleaded.

Ling Moxiao said in a muffled voice: "You provoked me first."

Shen Dongsu wanted to cry but had no tears. For the ancient people who had never seen the world, a bikini was as effective as an aphrodisiac.

Anyway, His Majesty has returned to the court, and I, the queen, don’t need to be the regent anymore. Even if the sky falls tomorrow, I will still sleep in!

Tonight, let’s just treat it as a short separation and celebrate our wedding night again.

Unfortunately, due to state affairs, the Queen can only take a holiday after the Emperor returns.

But when it comes to household chores, my mother can’t take a holiday after my father comes back.

The twins came to pay their respects early in the morning. Ling Moxiao didn't know why he was so energetic. He accompanied the twins to have breakfast and asked them not to disturb their mother's sleep.

Then Ling Moxiao actually took Dabao to court, but Xiaobao was unwilling, saying that her mother took her brother to court every day, but she had never been.

Our reliable old father but unreliable Majesty took the prince and princess to the morning court.

Upon hearing this news, no matter how much Zhou Gong invited her in her dream, Shen Dongsu instantly woke up and got up.

The imperial censors' reports these days were comparable to the media cyberbullying in later generations. She didn't want Xiaobao to experience the first report storm in his life at such a young age.

By the time she arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was too late and the morning court had already begun.

The guards naturally would not stop her. She entered from the side hall and stood behind the screen, ready to rush in and take the child away if Xiaobao moved or made a sound.

Look at the expressions of the officials below again, and if any old censor has a wrong expression, send someone to deliver gifts after the court session. It's okay to report me, but don't report my Xiaobao!

Then Shen Dongsu was surprised to find that the atmosphere in the morning court was unexpectedly good. The old censor did not find fault with her and he even smiled at the smiling little princess.

Just like when I usually face my own granddaughter at home.

Xiaobao was not nervous when he went to court for the first time. He sat up straight, imitating his brother. But he loved to laugh too much. He would smile at Uncle Mo and at the white-bearded grandfather from time to time.

Perhaps everyone was still in the mood they had when they welcomed His Majesty back to the court yesterday, or perhaps Ling Moxiao was in such a good mood that it was passed on to the ministers. In any case, this morning court session was not as serious and rigid as before.

The atmosphere was very good throughout the whole process. She hadn't had breakfast yet. She had consumed too much energy last night and felt that she was about to suffer from hypoglycemia. She quickly went back to the harem to have breakfast.

I must have a good talk with Ling Moxiao after court. This is not the way to spoil children. What's the point of bringing two little ones to the morning court meeting?

While drinking the Eight Treasure Porridge, the female official brought a letter saying that it was from Lord Chen to the Queen.

Shen Dongsu was about to say, the emperor has returned, why did Chen Xingyao send her a memorial? But she still took it.

After opening it, Chen Xingyao actually said that both the affairs in Chang'an and the mission assigned to him by the Queen in Youzhou had been completed. He wanted to go to the Northern Frontier now and continue to be responsible for the mission of reclaiming wasteland in the Northern Frontier.

Shen Dongsu looked at the thick layer of snow on the ground outside the temple, and then at the gray sky. Was this guy kicked in the head by a donkey?

Going to the northern border at this time of year is not just asking for trouble, it's asking for death!

Does Beijiang have a lover or a treasure? Of course, it is possible that there are both, but there is no need to rush there in the cold winter, right?

Those who don’t know would definitely say that the emperor and empress were heartless, sending officials to die in such a cold weather.

She directly rejected the memorial and replied that she would talk about it after the New Year.

By the way, I didn’t see Chen Xingyao in the morning court today. How brave of you to not attend the first court meeting after the emperor’s return?

When the female official was asked, she found out that at the Ming Palace banquet, the emperor specifically asked Lord Chen to go to the base to be responsible for the arrangements for the navy's return to the court.

He had left for the base yesterday, and this morning he sent someone to deliver a letter to her to go to Northern Xinjiang. What on earth was this guy thinking? Shen Dongsu was going to ask Ling Moxiao later.

After breakfast, she went to the study to prepare for the key matters of regulating the country for the next six months, and she had to make a good "handover" with Ling Moxiao.

Although nothing major happened in Daxia during her regency, the biggest foreign enemy, the barbarians, withdrew from the war, and the minor conflicts in Shuzhong and Lingnan also suddenly stopped.

The plague that often occurs in Fujian Province was also brought under control by Master Bai's team. Although the vaccine research she proposed did not make much progress, Master Bai felt that she had found a future research direction and was very motivated.

The snow disaster in the entire north was dealt with in a timely manner and did not cause large numbers of casualties.

The only thing that happened this year that seemed strange to everyone in the world was that the temperature in Chang'an dropped sharply in winter, water turned into ice, and the coldest weather had not been seen in a hundred years.

The people said that the climate in Chang'an became bad because the capital was moved and the dragon vein moved to Youzhou.

Only Shen Dongsu knew that it was only a matter of time before Chang'an would no longer be an easy country, and it was also a matter of time before the entire northwest would change from a mild climate to a dry and cold climate.

It may be because a large number of people moved to Youzhou this year, and a severe cold wave hit the north, causing the cold to arrive in Chang'an ahead of time.

Of course, these were all trivial matters to her. No matter how much the people in Chang'an objected or made a fuss, it was impossible to move the capital back to Chang'an.

What she wanted to focus on handing over to Ling Moxiao was naturally the war against Japan.

The situation of Jia Shiba on Liuli Island, the intelligence brought back by the spies of the Jiang family who went to Japan in the name of business, etc.
