After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 52 The Concubine in the Palace
On the first day of June, when the cicadas sang in summer, Datang also ushered in the first day of the little emperor's personal administration.

In the early morning, when Su Jingyan woke up, she saw that Xiao Yi beside him had already woken up. Seeing the black eyes under his eyes, she asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Xiao Yi nodded lightly, "Today is the first day I am in charge."

Although Xiao Yi has been the emperor for five years, he was just a mascot when he went to court.

And from today onwards, he will be in charge, so he can't just sit and watch the quarrels of the ministers with cold eyes like before.

Su Jingyan comforted softly, "You don't have to be nervous, I believe you can be a good emperor."

Xiao Yi said: "Don't worry, Ah Yan, I will not disappoint Ah Yan's trust."

Su Jingyan glanced at the bright sky outside, got up and helped Xiao Yi tie up her hair, and put on the emperor's crown for Xiao Yi.

After wearing the crown jade and the dragon robe, Xiao Yi is extremely eye-catching.

Su Jingyan stared at Xiao Yi for a long moment, and was a little lost in thought. She didn't expect that the little emperor dressed up like this really had a terrifying imperial demeanor.Her husband is really more pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Yi pressed a kiss on Su Jingyan's cheek: "I'm going first, if you miss me, come to Xuanzheng Hall to find me."

"I'm not a child, and I won't be able to leave you for a while." Su Jingyan urged, "It's getting late, go to Linchao!"

Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Yi's back from the gate of Haitang Palace, feeling a little nervous.

It's the first time the little emperor is in charge.

Su Jingyan wanted to go to see He Lianqiao after grooming herself, when she heard the news that the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects.

Su Jingyan did not greet them the first day she entered the palace. She didn't want to see them at first, but after thinking about it, she still let them in.

The leader was Concubine Zhong Shu. After Zhong Yu saluted Su Jingyan, she said, "Empress Empress, today is the first day Your Majesty will be in charge of the government. We would like to congratulate His Majesty by presenting him with the gift of being in charge of the government."

Su Jingyan never thought about giving presents, since these concubines are interested, she can't refuse, she said with a smile: "Sisters are interested, you put down the gifts, and I will pass them on to Your Majesty."

All the concubines handed over the gifts to the female officials in Haitang Palace.

Su Jingyan saw that the gifts they brought up were not extraordinary, and she thought they had prepared them early in the morning.

Looking at these young women who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, Su Jingyan feels even more guilty.

When choosing concubines at that time, Su Jingyan only thought that the woman would be more beneficial to the little emperor and the Su family, but never thought that these concubines were only 15 years old and would be trapped in the deep palace for the rest of their lives.

But even though I felt guilty, I couldn't generously share the little emperor with them.

Bai Cairen, the lowest among the 11 people, said to Su Jing:
"Empress Empress, I have always heard that Empress is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a masterpiece. I am only a little learned, and I want to ask Empress to teach me how to improve my paintings."

Su Jingyan said: "It's just right, last time I painted the Begonia Palace, I only painted the spring scenery, and now many crabapple flowers bear fruit in summer, which has a special charm. If Bai Cairen doesn't mind the trouble, please help me paint the Begonia Palace together."

Bai Cairen continued: "No trouble, no trouble, it would be my honor to paint with your empress."

Hearing what Bai Cairen said, Yan Defei, one of the three concubines, said: "I heard that the poems of the empress are also excellent. It's a bit shallow to have paintings without poems. Why don't we hold a poetry meeting for the paintings of the empress and younger sister Bai?" How about writing a poem?"

Su Jingyan used to participate in some poetry symposiums, she said: "Okay, then why not find a palace dedicated to poetry symposiums, and all the money for the poetry symposium will be paid from my private account."

Su Jingyan has a lot of small coffers, and she was the person with the most money in the Su family when she was in her boudoir, and besides the rewards, she also had the silver taels she earned from doing business in the past.

Women who can enter the palace are proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When talking about painting and writing poetry, they immediately become interested, and they all feel that the poetry meeting is very lively.

Choosing the day is worse than hitting the day, Su Jingyan organized a solitaire poetry meeting with the theme of Haitang today, to see who can win in the end.

Zhong Yu compiled the Solitaire poems they made into a tune, and Concubine Qian Xian from Jiangnan compiled a catchy ditty using Wu Nong's words.

Finally, when it was almost noon, everyone realized that it was already noon.

Su Jingyan left these concubines to eat at her place. The little emperor must be busy on the first day of his administration, so he won't find time to come to her to have a meal.

All the concubines ate in the pavilion facing the water in Haitang Palace, where there is a lake alley and the wind is very cool.

Everyone played the drinking order at the dinner table again.

Su Jingyan hadn't played so lively with a young girl for a long time.

When getting along, Su Jingyan discovered that Bai Cairen and Yan Defei were not superficially quiet.These two men were very courageous, they went up to drink with respect to themselves, but He Lianqiao tried to stop them but was drunk a lot of wine.

A group of women talked, laughed and drank together to make drinking very lively.

Su Jingyan doesn't want to be discouraged either, she already loves to be lively and drink, and she doesn't feel annoyed when she is forced to drink.

Zhong Yu took a sip of tea lightly, and was not annoyed at all when she saw Su Jingyan being poured alcohol by the concubines. The rumored Su Jingyan was self-willed, arrogant and domineering.

But looking at it now, Su Jingyan doesn't have the slightest pride, she doesn't even care about being a queen and playing with their concubines.

Su Jingyan was a little drunk, touched her face with the back of her hand, and said, "Good sisters, please forgive me, I haven't drunk like this for a long time."

Four years ago, when she, Liang Suirou and two other friends were not married, they also liked to have dinner and drink.

Later, after Su Jingyan was abandoned by Xiao Ting in Luoyang, Su Jingyan no longer participated in the reception so lively.

Rarely can there be such a lively time.

Today, she drank to her heart's content, but she was already drunk.

"His Majesty is here!"

Xiao Yi has been busy all morning, and can't wait to come and share with Su Jingyan how he feels about being in charge of the court this morning.

When I entered the palace, I didn't see Su Jingyan, so I realized that she had been playing with the concubines all morning.

When Xiao Yi came to the lake, he saw Su Jingyan surrounded by young girls.

There were also two women who were very close to Su Jingyan and fed her drinks with intimate movements.

Xiao Yi frowned, Su Jingyan had only been in the palace for five days, and this was the second time he saw Su Jingyan walking so close to his concubine.

"Ayan!"

All the concubines were messing around, when they saw Xiao Yi coming with Mian Liu.

All the concubines panicked looking at His Majesty's face, some were moved by Xiao Yi's appearance, some were nervous about facing the emperor's majesty, and some were extremely hopeful that His Majesty would take a fancy to him and come to his palace today...

Su Jingyan was really drunk, and when she saw Xiao Yi coming over, she said, "Little Emperor, my sister is so uncomfortable."

Xiao Yi stepped forward to support Su Jingyan, glared at Bai Cairen and Concubine Yan De who had poured Su Jingyan wine just now, and hugged Su Jingyan horizontally and said, "I will take you back to rest, welcome the spring honeysuckle, and make soup to relieve the wine."

Su Jingyan leaned into Xiao Yi's arms and said, "Don't hangover soup, keep drinking, I haven't drunk like this for a long time.

Three years ago Xiao Ting left me and left. I can't drink outside and be laughed at behind my back.

I also don't want to drink alcohol at home, so as not to make my parents worry that I am using alcohol to drown my sorrows.

I used to drink well, no one is my opponent, I can still drink! "

Hearing Xiao Ting's words, Xiao Yi felt very upset, hugged Su Jing and said, "Hey, I won't drink now, I will drink with you later."

Su Jingyan said in a daze, "No, you are a child, you are not allowed to drink."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi could only coax helplessly: "Then I'll drink with you when I'm older, and go back to rest now."

Seeing that Su Jingyan was obedient, Xiao Yi glanced at the kneeling crowd and said, "You all go down, and you are not allowed to drink with the queen in the future! If anyone dares to drink the queen's wine, he will drink it a hundred times!"

This remark made Bai Cairen tremble in fright, and suddenly he became sober from the wine. It was just a joke, but he did not expect that His Majesty would value the empress so much.

Both Bai Cairen and Yan Defei were really afraid of drinking a hundred times as much wine, and they didn't dare to see Xiao Yi again. They were so frightened that they just wanted to go home and cry to their mother.

Zhong Yu looked at the back of Xiao Yi leaving with Su Jingyan in his arms, and could no longer deceive himself. His Majesty, he must not treat the queen for the power of the Su family, but because he really cares about the queen.

Originally, Zhong Yu wanted to fight for the empress who was the first to be favored by His Majesty, but now that she thinks about it, she doesn't want to fight anymore.

The empress is loving, why should she bother with this?
But Concubine Qian Xian didn't think so. She saw that His Majesty loved the Empress so much, she thought in her heart, the person who can win His Majesty's favor can be the Empress, or she!
