Duan Yi, who was announcing the edict, rolled up the imperial edict in his hand and handed it to Su Lingxue, who was kneeling in front of him in a daze: "Empress, take the edict!"
After hearing this, Su Lingxue reached out to take it. He came over, then stood up and said, "Father-in-law, I'm tired after a long trip. Can I have some hot tea?"
Duan Yi never stayed in the palaces. Even if the queen invited him, he declined, but today But he stayed with a smile: "Your Majesty invited me, and I will naturally obey!"
So he followed Su Lingxue into the main hall, but did not dare to sit down, but just accepted the tea from Hua Ning. , took a sip and said with a smile to Su Lingxue who was sitting next to him: "The emperor has always been thinking about your empress in recent days, especially when handling government affairs in Yangxin Hall, he always thinks about you."
" Oh?" When Su Lingxue heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "What is the emperor talking about?"
"The emperor always said that if Concubine Su was here, she would know how to deal with this matter." Duan Yixiao. He replied.
Hearing this, Su Lingxue quickly stopped: "Eunuch Duan, please don't say this again." Interfering with politics in the harem is not only taboo in the royal family, it is also not allowed in the court.
She doesn’t want to become their public enemy for a while!
Seeing this, Duan Yi said no more. He didn't stay long and quickly bowed and left Changxin Palace.
At this time, in the main hall of the courtyard, Hua Ning and all the maids saluted together: "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, for taking charge of the harem!"
" Everyone, get up!" Su Lingxue said.
Since Su Lingxue took charge of the harem, there have been obviously more people coming and going in Changxin Palace than usual. Most of them are managers of various departments, but there are also concubines with low status. When they come Some even brought things with them, which looked very valuable at first glance.
Su Lingxue glanced at them lightly, and then when they left, Hua Ning stuffed them in and took them back.
Su Lingxue always liked silence, and more and more people came to visit. Finally, Su Lingxue gave a serious order not to enter Changxin Palace unless there was anything wrong, and then it became quiet.
One day, after Su Lingxue finished handling the affairs in the harem, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. Su Lingxue complained in her heart: If it were not for survival and the sake of her children, she would not want to do this tiring job for a moment.
Just as Su Lingxue was complaining in her heart, Yingying walked in with a man in court clothes.
"Concubine! Mr. Zhong said he wants to see you!" Yingying entered the main hall, pointed to Zhong Yang outside the store and said: "Father sent him to report to you about Yuan Liang, daughter. I met him on the road and brought him here."
Since it was Pei Mochen who sent him, there was no need to hesitate: "Call him in!"
Wearing court clothes. Zhong Yang walked in with his head lowered and bowed politely: "I have seen the imperial concubine!"
"Lord Zhong, there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Madam!" Zhong Yang stood up politely, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Yuan Liang has been found out, and Yuan Liang has been Convicted and awaiting execution. The emperor said that the matter involves the empress, and specially sent the minister to explain everything to the empress." As he said this, Zhong Yang handed the document in his hand forward.
Seeing this, Hua Ning walked over to take it, then opened the document and placed it in Su Lingxue's hand.
Su Lingxue took it and scanned it. The investigation process was written in great detail. Even how the paintings and tea sets were damaged that night were clearly investigated. I think this harem matter was involved. The court was handed over to Zhong Yang for investigation.
Zhong Yang over there also reported the outline of the matter and the handling of the relevant people.
"Yu Shangyi, who was involved in this, was thrown into a prison. Can the emperor give instructions on Shangyi's position?" Su Lingxue asked, looking at the disposition of this person in the document in her hand.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has not spoken." Zhong Yang responded with his head slightly lowered.
Since Pei Mochen didn't say anything, naturally the position of Shang Yi, the first-rank harem member, could not remain vacant. Su Lingxue suddenly thought of Yin Shuang. Since you are arranging people, you must arrange your own people.
Zhong Yang, who was over there, raised his head slightly at this moment and looked at Su Lingxue who was looking up. Then he quickly glanced at the maids in the palace. When he saw that there were no outsiders, he stood up and knelt down:
"Wei Chen is here today, and there is one more thing to do!"

Seeing Zhong Yang salute again so solemnly, Su Lingxue turned to signal to Hua Ning beside her. Upon seeing this, Hua Ning opened her mouth and ordered: "I'll serve you here, all of you, please step aside!"
p>
"Yes!" The maids who were standing in the palace bowed and left.
Seeing this, Hua Ning also walked over, but she did not go out. Instead, she stood at the door and stared at both sides of the door.
Seeing that the irrelevant people had retreated, Zhong Yang lowered his head and knocked it on the ground: "I would like to thank you for saving me that day!"
"Save me!" ?" Su Lingxue asked with some surprise: "I didn't save your life that day? How could I help you?"
"My wife donated money to let Wei Chen bury his mother alive. Only then did Wei Chen have the energy to deal with Qiu Wei and become an official. This is the grace of saving him!" Zhong Yang said seriously.
Su Lingxue felt ashamed, okay, let him say whatever he wants.
"This matter is just a matter of effort, Mr. Zhong does not need to take it to heart." Su Lingxue said softly: "Since I am an official in the court, I will seek more benefits for the people."
"Micro I must remember your Majesty’s teachings!” Zhong Yang responded seriously.
"Master Zhong must know the stakes in this matter. From now on, I ask Master Zhong not to mention it to others again!" Police Su LingxueShowed.
"Wei Chen, please remember this!"
After Zhong Yang left, Su Lingxue asked Hua Ning to call Yin Shuang.
"Yin Shuang, you have been in the palace for a long time. During this period, you have been working in Changxin Palace. Now there is a post of minister, are you willing to do it?"
Shangyi is responsible for the planning and execution of palace etiquette and sacrificial activities. It is the first-rank official position among the female officials in the harem.
Yin Shuang naturally knew about this honorable duty. She looked shocked at first, and then very happy. She knelt down with a plop: "I am willing to do it. I am willing to do whatever I want in the harem." Your Majesty, please protect me!"
It is Yin Shuang's lifelong wish to realize her ambitions, and this female official is her beginning.
"So, then go on duty tomorrow. Shang Yi is a big official, and the people under him are all capable. Whether you can do it steadily depends on your ability. !”
“Yes, your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your arrangements.” Yin Shuang kowtowed again with a face full of joy.
In the afternoon, Su Lingxue was just thinking about taking a good rest, but Shen Yu, the maid of Liuyun Palace, came and brought a letter.
Shen Yu was the maid sent to Cao Huayue by her mother Bai.
"Your Majesty, this is the letter that the lady asked the slave to bring to you!" Shen Yu handed out the letter in his hand politely.
After Su Lingxue finished reading, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said in the letter that the person sitting in the Qintian Prison seat was the person secretly arranged by Mr. Cao.
Su Lingxue didn't ask how she did it. She only knew that her power in the court was expanding bit by bit, and she was becoming stronger bit by bit!
If the harem cannot be connected with the court, it is all a way for men to control women. If she, Su Lingxue, does not have her own power in the court, then what happened at the last birthday banquet will happen again, and the ministers will force Pei Mochen to punish her. What should she do about herself?
A man’s favor is unreliable, only being strong is the surest thing!
In the following days, perhaps because there was too much noise about the Queen's assassination, the Jin family actually restrained herself very much, and the Queen's body gradually became very heavy, and she only concentrated on raising the fetus, and her life was very easy. Quickly, in the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is over and spring is here.
The day when the Queen gives birth is coming soon.
