Chapter 618 Don't Overwork
"presumptuous!"

The Queen slapped the case and stood up. Long Yan was furious and her eyebrows were raised. The anger in those red and phoenix eyes could no longer be suppressed and seemed to want to burst out.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The eunuch in charge of the report fell to his knees on the spot, lowered his head, trembling.

Nangong Wan'er and other female officials who were standing by stood up and admonished: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The Queen took a few deep breaths, and the violent rise and fall of her breasts slowly subsided. She also knew that Long Yan's rage could only frighten the trembling eunuch in front of her, but was of no use to the Shu envoys in the post house.

"The order..."

The queen weakly sat back on the dragon chair, rubbed her brows and ordered: "Send a better set of palace attire to the envoy of the Shu Kingdom. Don't neglect the noble envoy of the Shu Kingdom."

"Yes."

The trembling eunuch stood up to accept the order and left the imperial study room as if fleeing.

For this small court meeting, the empress had already redressed and dressed up, and her makeup and dress were more formal, reflecting the importance she attached to the envoys of the Shu Kingdom.

But... I didn't expect that the Shu envoy would act like this!

Before anyone saw it, the empress was almost mad by this anger.

Fortunately, she has been the emperor for more than ten years, and she still has this in the city. She knows that she needs to be patient now and wait until the Liang Dynasty gets through this difficulty...

Soon after, another eunuch returned and faced the Queen with a trembling report: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Kingdom of Shu... still hasn't changed his clothes..."

"..."

Although the Queen was sitting upright on the throne, her proud chest was rising and falling violently, her fists were clenched, and Danfeng's eyes filled with imperial majesty were filled with anger again, and her face was flushed... This was because she was so angry.

Nangong Wan'er stood by and her expression changed slightly when she saw this. She had served the Queen for many years, and this was the first time she had seen her so angry.

But yes, no matter how you say it, the Queen is still the emperor of the Daliang Dynasty, and the envoy of the Shu Kingdom is just a minister. However, she is so pretentious on the territory of Daliang, treating the Queen of Daliang as nothing...

Not to mention the Queen, if Nangong Wan'er thought about it carefully, her reaction would probably be even more intense.

After a few breaths, the Queen's clenched fists finally slowly loosened.

Although her breasts were still rising and falling violently, and her face was still flushed with blood, the Queen suppressed the anger in her heart and asked slowly:
"How does the noble envoy of the Kingdom of Shu want to change his clothes?"

The eunuch replied tremblingly:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Shu Kingdom once said...that my Daliang's...the boa robe is not bad..."

"presumptuous!"

The Queen stood up again, this time even more angry than before. Her breasts rose and fell so much that it was hard to describe, her face was full of anger, and her eyes were even faintly red...

Nangong Wan'er stood by, feeling horrified. Based on her understanding of the Queen, she knew that the Queen was really angry this time.

The python robes of the Liang Dynasty were embroidered with rusty gold dragons, and were available in red and black styles. Only the most noble people were not allowed to wear them because they were embroidered with gold dragons. Generally speaking, only emperors were allowed to enjoy this kind of decoration.

The python robe is not worn only when the official position is high enough, but only when it is rewarded by the emperor.

Red python robes are usually given to the prince or prince of the current dynasty, and only royal family members can wear them.

Black python robes are generally given to heroes with different surnames.

Without exception, all those who were given python robes were those whom the emperor valued and graciously favored.

Since the empress of the dynasty ascended the throne, except for the crown prince and Princess Lanling, she has not bestowed python robes on any third person, and even Zhang Huaiyi has not enjoyed this favor.

Therefore, being given a python robe is an extremely noble honor, which represents the emperor's trust and favor. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty, including the prime ministers, are enthusiastic about this.

However, the queen, who had never given the python robe to a hero with a different surname, was now being threatened by an envoy from Shu... She could give the python robe to people from other countries, but only voluntarily.

Such behavior by the Shu envoys has seriously offended the Queen's majesty as the emperor.

"This slave deserves to die, please spare your life, Your Majesty." The eunuch who reported the report knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise his head to look at the furious look of Queen Long Yan.

"Your Majesty, please put the dragon body first." Nangong Wan'er and other female officials kept bowing and saluting, and did not dare to raise their heads to look at the Queen's expression.

"..."

The queen stared, furious for a while, and finally slowly fell back to the throne.

With her eyebrows furrowed, she rummaged for a moment among the piles of memorials on the dragon desk, pulled out one and slowly spread it out, holding the table with both hands weakly, staring down at the words on the memorials.

This memorial is a set of data calculated by the prime ministers more than a month ago——

If we don’t buy grain from Shu, it’s estimated how many ordinary people will starve to death in the entire Liang Dynasty!

The Queen stared closely at the shocking set of death figures, her head heated with anger instantly calmed down, and her violently heaving breasts gradually calmed down.

Only the flush on his face remained for a long time.

She was originally just a low-status concubine. She climbed to the throne of the emperor with her own talents and fierceness. After she secured the throne, she was always mean and ungrateful to the civil and military courtiers——

For example, he would take off the veil from the head of a certain minister at every turn.

There are even more people who confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.

In addition, her personal moral character is not very good...

However, as an emperor, she has one shining point, that is, she loves her people like her own children!

Her throne was not inherited from the orthodox, and she is a woman... She needs to prove that she can secure the throne, and can also do something, not inferior to the wise monarchs of the past dynasties.

Loving people like children is the direction she chose.

Now, the prestige of the emperor and the life and death of ordinary people are in front of the queen, how will she choose?

"Send my will..."

The Queen finally spoke, and it could be heard from her voice that half of her energy had been drained from her body, and she was as weak and out of breath as a terminally ill patient.

"Send a set of... python robes to the noble envoy of Shu!"

After the empress finished speaking, she leaned on the back of the dragon chair, rubbing the center of her eyebrows with her hands, looking quite battered and tired.

"According to the order."

The eunuch lying on the ground led the order to withdraw, not daring to stay in the imperial study for a second longer.

Nangong Wan'er raised her eyes and saw the Queen in such a state. Her heart was very complicated for a moment, and finally she said with concern: "Your Majesty, please put the dragon body first and don't overwork yourself."

"You all go out, I want to be alone for a while." The queen closed her eyes, leaned back on the chair and casually ordered.

"According to the order."

"By the way, if there is any news from the Shu envoys, they need to report it as soon as possible." The Queen warned.

"According to the order."

"..."

About a quarter of an hour later.

An eunuch entered the imperial study and reported, "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Shu have already set off and are heading towards the imperial city."

The Queen was obviously relieved, nodded and said, "Okay!"

After the eunuch retired, the queen took a sip of strong tea to refresh herself. After resting for a while, her complexion actually improved. She looked at Nangong Wan'er and other female officials and said:
"After the Shu envoy enters the palace, I will have to show him off!"

"..."

Another quarter of an hour passed.

A eunuch came to report:

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Shu have arrived outside the main hall of the Wanxiang Shrine."

"finally reached!"

The queen stood up from the dragon chair with a swish, and rushed out of the room with a swish, rushing towards the main hall regardless of her appearance.

Nangong Wan'er witnessed the anxious look of the Queen with her own eyes, her red lips slowly widening. She remembered very clearly, didn't the Queen just say that she wanted to show off the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu?
After all, it is for the common people in the world... Nangong Wan'er shook her head and followed with the other female officials.
