In addition, they did not dare to use the colors that De Fei usually used, so they had to choose other colors, which would be a bit old-fashioned.
So when everyone stands together, Concubine De is really the most outstanding.
Meng Shu had people deliver the rewards she had prepared for the concubines.
The clothes and jewelry she gave them were both elegant and bright.
According to the rules of the palace, the concubines had to pay her respects every day.
How can you feel good when you see everyone dressed lifelessly every day, wearing the colors favored by the old women outside the palace?
Of course Meng Shu wanted to change them.
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward!" Everyone hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude.
The concubine De, who had been crooked in her salute before, was quite well-behaved now.
She was afraid that Meng Shu would ask her to rest again if she struggled too much.
Her child was gone, and her aunt was no longer as kind to her as before, so she had to make more plans for herself.
Fortunately, even though Meng Shu became the queen, her aunt still gave her the power to control the Sixth Palace. With this alone, she was able to gain a foothold in the palace.
Now that the child is gone, life has to go on, and Concubine De also learns to accept it.
The only thing that made her angry was that she didn't find out the murderer who poisoned her at the New Year's Eve family dinner.
If he hadn't been poisoned himself, the child would definitely not have had a miscarriage.
Although she is a daughter, it is better than nothing.
Concubine De now feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks of that child.
She actually wanted to find another one from King Wei.
But that bastard wasn't as interested in her as before.
Yesterday I went to Taikang Palace to block him, but he found an excuse and escaped.
Concubine De felt angry just thinking about it!
Meng Shu waited for them to leave before going to the study to find the emperor.
The emperor should have rested today, and the ministers were quite sensible, so there was nothing important to do.
He has finished reviewing the small pile of notebooks and is currently reading.
Seeing Meng Shu come in, the emperor stretched out his arms, lifted the man into his lap and sat down.
"Are those concubines obedient?" The emperor poured a cup of tea and handed it to Meng Shu and asked with a smile.
"Except for Concubine De, the others are pretty good." Meng Shu nodded.
"In a few months, everything inside and outside the palace will be under my control. By then, you can deal with whoever you want. There will be no disobedient people in this harem." The emperor said and laughed. : "Of course, they just need to listen to you."
He wouldn't care about that.
Before he married Meng Shu, he promised her that he would only live with her as the only woman in his life.
Meng Shu still didn’t believe it.
Of course the emperor had to prove it to her.
He, a relatively weak emperor, will no longer be drafted, and no one will dare to say anything.
Besides, the late emperor only had one concubine and three concubines. He already had nine concubines in his harem. Who dares to say that it is not enough?
"The Queen Mother sent someone over to inquire about the news. She wanted to know whether we consummated our marriage last night. She was very vigilant, for fear that we would give birth to a child and compete with King Wei for the throne." Meng Shu shook her head.
Everyone in Fengyi Palace belongs to her, whether they are palace maids or guards, they were all trained by the Meng family.
They have been with Meng Shu since they were young. They have been on the battlefield together and have gone through life and death together. Not only do they have a tacit understanding, but they are also loyal to Meng Shu.
There was actually someone who wanted to bribe her female escort.
I don’t know if I should say that the other person is stupid.
"Then let her guess slowly!" the emperor said with a smile: "King Wei is obsessed with beauty these days. He has not been to the five military camps outside the city for a long time, and I have placed more and more people inside. , after a while, King Wei can go back to his mansion to rest."
"My husband is so awesome!" Meng Shu kissed the emperor on the face and said with a smile.
In the clear sky, she suddenly kissed herself. Could it be that she wanted to...
The emperor couldn't help but think wrongly.
Before he could react, Meng Shu stood up from his lap.
"Your Majesty, please read a book first. I'm going back to my bedroom."
"What are you going to do when you go back to the palace?" the emperor asked quickly.
Now that you are returning to the dormitory, do you want him to follow you?
If she mentioned it, he would naturally not refuse.
Meng Shu pointed to the gorgeous clothes she was wearing: "The phoenix robe is too heavy. I'll change into something new."
After all, today is the first time I see the concubines in the palace, so of course I have to dress up more solemnly.
It won’t be necessary next time.
How tiring it would be to dress like this every day!
"I have already reviewed the booklet and can help." The emperor smiled.
"I don't dare bother the emperor, I can do it myself." After Meng Shu finished speaking, he left with Su Ye and the others.
Don't think she doesn't know what the emperor is thinking.
This man is serious. Didn't he have enough trouble last night?
How he felt, she didn't know.
She was going to rest for two days anyway.
Seeing Meng Shu leaving in a hurry, the emperor couldn't help but smile.
Are you just on guard against him?
It seemed that he was indeed a little too impatient.
But when he thought about how they had been lingering for a long time last night, the emperor felt a little itchy.
That’s all!
He had just gotten married, so he had to take it easy and not let the queen think he was going too far.
However, all his self-control disappeared when he lay on the couch at night and smelled the faint fragrance of Meng Shu.
……
The Great Zhou Dynasty held great court meetings on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. On weekdays, the emperor only met with the cabinet ministers and ministers to be summoned that day in the main hall of Taiqian Palace.
Such small court meetings do not happen every day. They are summoned when there is something important. If there is no urgent matter, there is no need to go to court. The courtiers can just perform their duties in the Yamen.
As for Xiu Mu?
According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, officials have one day off each day on the fifth, tenth and twentieth day of the lunar month.
If it is a holiday and there is no urgent matter, no one will have to go to the Yamen, and the emperor will not have to go to court.
The scenery was so beautiful in March that the emperor took Meng Shu out of the palace and went to the outskirts of Beijing twice, both times during his vacation.
They will definitely not say that the emperor and empress are traveling, only that they need to go to Yiyuan in the suburbs of Beijing to deal with something.
The two had a very good relationship and often fell in love with each other. In addition, the emperor went to Fengyi Palace to eat and rest every day. There were many rumors in the palace that the emperor had recovered his health and could favor his concubines.
On the third day of the Western lunar month, the Queen Mother called Meng Shu to Taikang Palace.
When she arrived, all the concubines in the palace were there.
As soon as Meng Shu saw this battle, he knew what the Queen Mother meant.
Sure enough, after she bowed and sat on the chair, the Queen Mother's voice came to her ears.
"Queen, as the master of the harem, you must not be jealous. You must advise the emperor. Rain and dew are all wet, and you cannot always let him stay in Fengyi Palace. The concubines in the harem are looking forward to him walking around more. They have been in the palace for many years. , I have never slept with you, I look forward to the stars and the moon every day, and I finally hope that the emperor's health will improve, but the emperor refuses to come, and I go to your Fengyi Palace. How is this inappropriate? You don't want those outside to say that? You are jealous and arrogant!"
