Wangqing spent too much time chatting with Jing Yuan in the imperial garden last night, Xiao Jining slept late, and really almost couldn't wake up the next morning.

Later, when he went to court, he kept pinching his thigh with his hands to prevent himself from dozing off in the early morning.

And after the morning court, Xiao Jining went straight to Changle Palace - he was going to visit Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan.

I don't know what the two of them did last night. When Xiao Jining went to Changle Palace, they didn't wake up for long. Their cheeks were flushed, their eyes flickered, and they were painting each other's eyebrows and lipstick in front of the vanity mirror. What a picture. They didn't even notice Xiao Jining's concubine's loving appearance.

Xiao Jining looked a little complicated, and coughed twice to indicate to the two of them that he had arrived.

Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan came back to their senses, and immediately walked up to Xiao Jining and saluted him respectfully, "Join the Emperor."

"It's almost noon." Xiao Jining raised his hand to signal them to get up, and then said, "Miss Tan, you should go too."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tan Qingxuan also understood that she could not stay in the harem for a long time, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Ruan Jiaren and left.

Seeing the inseparable appearance of the two of them, Xiao Jining persuaded Ruan Jiaren: "Queen, you don't have to be sad, after a while she enters the harem, you can see each other every day."

"The concubine knows." Ruan Jiaren lowered her eyes and sighed slightly, "It's just..."

Ruan Jiaren's unfinished words Xiao Jining understands that it is indeed a bit sad for these two lovers to be separated because they are "newly married".

Xiao Jining took a few steps forward, sat down at the round table in the flower hall, and said to her: "You also understand that if you let her enter the palace now, the harem will inevitably criticize you, which is not conducive to your ruling the harem."

Just a few days after the new emperor and the empress got married, another woman entered the harem. That woman was also the "dead enemy" of the empress before entering the palace. Queen?

And here is Tan Qingxuan who entered the palace, what kind of demon concubine will be misunderstood by people?

So Xiao Jining didn't want to delay Tan Qingxuan's entry into the palace on purpose, but chose an appropriate time.

Ruan Jiaren straightened her expression when she heard the words, nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor has shown kindness to my concubines and Xuan'er, and my concubines will definitely do their best to take care of the emperor's harem."

"You don't have to be so serious." Xiao Jining pursed the corners of his lips, smiled faintly and said, "If there is no accident, there may only be you and Tan Qingxuan in my harem for a long time, nothing complicated, but Even so, you and Tan Qingxuan must firmly hold all the power in the harem in the hands of the two of you."

Xiao Jining repeatedly emphasized that the power of the harem cannot be taken away by others, but he also said that there will only be two concubines in the harem. Ruan Jiaren really doesn't understand who else the power of the harem can fall into, so she can't help frowning slightly Lu was puzzled.

However, Xiao Jining quickly answered her confusion: "In a few days, I will respect Concubine Chun as the Empress Dowager, and after she moves into Shoukang Palace, I will let Tan Qingxuan enter the palace."

When Ruan Jiaren heard this, she suddenly remembered - that's right, Xiao Jining, Emperor Yun Chu, has not respected his biological mother as the Queen Mother yet.

You must know that throughout the ages, the power of the empress dowager can sometimes even eclipse the emperor, which should not be underestimated; even in the harem, the empress dowager sometimes competes with the empress for the sovereignty of the harem.Xiao Jining didn't respect early or late, but only after she entered the palace and became a queen to take charge of the harem, did she respect Chun as the queen mother. She made it clear that she didn't want the queen mother to interfere with the power in the harem.

Although Ruan Jiaren had heard that Xiao Jining and Na Chun's relationship was weak, otherwise she would not have respected her as queen mother, but she did not expect that the mother and son would not get along to such an extent.

But Ruan Jiaren is a smart person, she only listens to Xiao Jining, she doesn't ask Xiao Jining about other things.

Besides, as the daughter of Duke Fu, if she still doesn't understand anything about what Xiao Jining said, then she doesn't have to sit on the queen's seat, so Ruan Jiaren smiled and said: "The emperor understands what the emperor means." gone."

Xiao Jining was also relieved: "It's good that the queen understands."

Xiao Jining felt that a woman like Chun Jieyu who was born for Gongdou should find someone of her own kind to deal with her.He handed over all the rights in the harem to Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan, hoping that the two of them could restrain Chun Shi and prevent her from causing trouble for him.

But Xiao Jining is also a little worried. He doesn't know if Ruan Jiaren can do this well. After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always been an eternal problem. It's really hard to handle.

And Ruan Jiaren knew very well how Xiao Jining was doing her best to help her and Tan Qingxuan be together, so the two of them should also do something for him.Therefore, Ruan Jiaren quickly offered a good plan to Xiao Jining: "By the way, your majesty, my concubine heard that the empress dowager went to Yong'an Garden in Jinling to recuperate due to illness, and she has been there for several months."

That's right, Emperor Yunhong died suddenly due to poisoning last year, and now it's Xiao Jining's turn to be emperor, it's only been a year since the former empress dowager, now the empress dowager died after the second prince died, and the fourth prince ascended the throne Afterwards, she went to Jinling, saying that she would not bother about the affairs of Beijing—but Xiao Jining understood that the Empress Dowager was only afraid of being dealt with by the Fourth Prince if she stayed.

What's more, the fourth prince is extremely respectful and filial to his biological mother, Concubine Wen. With Concubine Wen as the queen mother, there is no room for her in the harem, so the empress dowager went directly to Jinling to enjoy the blessings there.

So Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment when Ruan Jiaren mentioned her, then raised his eyebrows, and signaled Ruan Jiaren expectantly to continue, "That's right, the imperial grandmother has indeed been to Jinling for a long time."

Ruan Jiaren smiled and said: "But you also know, your majesty, that summer is approaching and Jinling is much hotter than the capital city. I am afraid that the empress dowager will not be able to survive, so I might as well send someone to Jinling to take the empress dowager from Yong'an." In the garden, please go back to the capital to enjoy your old age in peace."

Xiao Jining wanted to applaud Ruan Jiaren after hearing the words.

After Chunshi became the empress dowager, even the emperor had to bow his head to Chunshi sometimes. shackles.

Xiao Jining didn't believe it anymore, with these few people fighting Chun Shi, does Chun Shi still have that spare time to harass him?

"The empress is really smart." While Xiao Jining was happy, he didn't mind sharing the happiness with others, so he also said to Ruan Jia, "summer is approaching, if the empress feels any discomfort in the future, please ask the female doctor Tan Qingxuan to come into the palace to take the pulse .”

Ruan Jiaren lit up her eyes and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Because he had already figured out how to deal with Chunshi, Xiao Jining swung his imperial pen after returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and immediately wrote the Taoist decree - Respecting the concubine Chunshi of Ganquan Palace as the Queen Mother.

But also because he was in a good mood, Xiao Jining was sleepy early that night, so he didn't really want to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden at night.

However, Jing Yuan was on duty tonight. Last night Xiao Jining specifically asked him when he would be on duty again. Jing Yuan thought that Xiao Jining would come to "encounter" him tonight, but he didn't want him to make a special "inspection" in the Imperial Garden After several laps, Xiao Jining's shadow was not seen, and only later did he hear from the palace staff that Xiao Jining had already fallen asleep tonight.

Jing Yuan was angry and funny, but he had to be on duty tonight, and he couldn't leave his post at will, otherwise he really wanted to sneak into the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Xiao Jining slept, and pinch the face of this little liar.

Three days later, because the post-sealing ceremony was over, Xiao Jining appointed the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince as Imperial Envoys, and ordered them to patrol the various state capitals of the Great Xiao on his behalf, and find out the corrupt officials who did not fulfill their duties.

Before the two princes left Beijing, Xiao Jining personally sent them off.

Seeing that he was almost at the gate of the city, and Xiao Jining had no intention of going back, the Seventh and Eighth Princes persuaded him: "Imperial brother, you can just send us here, let's go back quickly."

"Brother Huang, I have something to tell you." Xiao Jining quietly pulled the two of them aside, took out a small book from his arms and said, "I have a list here, which contains some The names of the officials, please focus on investigating these officials when the two royal brothers inspect the state capital."

This list is of course Xiao Jining's list of officials with low morals, substandard intelligence, or high ambition based on the data seen in the official job table of the system.

If the morality is too low, it is obvious that the official must have been corrupt and accepting bribes, or even a bad official; but if the intelligence is not up to the standard... it means that the official may have enough morality, but he is a fatuous and incompetent person. Such an official may be capable He didn't do anything wrong, but being a muddleheaded official, he is easily deceived by people's words, wrongly judged some cases, and caused unjust cases. If the seventh and eighth princes can't find anything, then this official can continue to be muddleheaded for the time being. , if something is found - just change to a more capable official to sit in his position.

The Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince glanced at this booklet and immediately understood its importance, and immediately assured Xiao Jining: "Okay, don't worry, Brother, the Brothers will definitely guard the Great Xiao Jiangshan for you. .”

And not just for him.

If the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince really made some achievements, then the Seventh Prince's reputation among the people will be very good. If he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be convenient for Xiao Jining to pass on the throne to him; if the Seventh Prince does not become the emperor, But if Jingyuan did it, the support gained by the Seventh Prince could guarantee his safety to a certain extent.

But Xiao Jining didn't discuss these things with the Seventh Prince in detail, he just nodded and told the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince: "Brother Seventh Prince, Brother Eighth Prince, take care of yourself."

The Seventh Prince patted Xiao Jining on the shoulder: "You too."

After saying these words, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince got into the carriage and left.

Xiao Jining stood on the city gate, looking at the vast and boundless world outside the city gate, watching them go away.

"Your Majesty." Jing Yuan walked slowly to his side, "It's time to go back to the palace."

Xiao Jining agreed: "Okay."

Today Xiao Jining went out of the palace to practice for the Seventh and Eighth Princes and did not wear a dragon robe. He was accompanied only by Jing Yuan, who was responsible for protecting his safety. Both of them were dressed in micro-clothes, very low-key.

They didn't take a carriage when they went back, but walked slowly on the streets of the capital together, watching the pedestrians and tourists coming and going on the streets.

Before I knew it, I walked to the door of Yipin Building.
