The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 22 The Art of the Emperor 3
"Why do you, Your Majesty, need to look at things and think about people here? If you have serious thoughts, just go straight to her."

She was arrogant and her words were a little irritable, and the emperor's eyes darkened.

He is the king of a country and cannot be offended. Only he can drive people away. There is no reason for anyone to drive him away.

"My temper is really getting louder. If you are talented, why can't you listen to what I say about others?"

The queen knew that she had gone too far, but she didn't dare to speak anymore because she looked bad, and sat with her head lowered.

The emperor didn't want to look at her and just played with the peonies a few times.

"In the harem, in the whole world, it is the land of the king. I can go wherever I want. I don't need anyone else to arrange it."

After that, he left very disappointed.

Lu Yi felt so regretful that her intestines turned green, "I should have thrown that thing away a long time ago. The servant said how could Concubine Shu be kind enough to send something with her noble character? It turns out that she was sure that the Holy Emperor would come and was waiting here!"

Lu Yi couldn't wait to throw the flowers, soil and pots out and break them into pieces.

"Just leave it there. Concubine Shu brought it here for me to destroy, why should I let it go?" Su Zhesang stopped again.

"Empress!" Lu Yi stamped her foot and ran out angrily.

Su Zhesang shook his head, feeling funny but also a little worried. If something happened to him, would this girl still have a way to survive in the palace?

When the emperor arrived at Ziyun Palace, he was waiting at the entrance of the palace from a distance.

Concubine Shu has always liked Yun brocade, which is luxurious yet elegant, and the color is low-key and gorgeous.What I am wearing today is Songjiang cotton. The style is simple and loose, and the light pink-white color makes people inexplicably think of petals that have been damaged by wind and rain for a long time. They are pale, weak, and pitiful.

The emperor couldn't believe it at first when he saw her. After seeing her clearly, he ran over with the hem of her skirt in hand. Her hairpins were loose and her black hair was flying, like an innocent little girl.

Concubine Shu threw her petite body into the emperor's arms and said with a tearful voice: "I thought that the Holy Emperor would never come again."

The moment Concubine Shu ran into his arms, the anger that the emperor had been holding back in Yong'an Palace was extinguished.

After listening to Chongqing's words, Su Zhesang put down the pen and gently fanned the wind with his hand to let the ink dry quickly.

"Concubine Shu's little idea came at the right time." Su Zhesang sighed.

The emperor wanted to use her as a target for Mrs. An, and Concubine Shu wanted to step on her to get the upper hand. Isn't that right?

"Your Majesty is very clever at playing tricks. She even didn't eat Lu Yiqi's dinner." Chong Qing said with a smile.

Su Zhesang could completely picture Lu Yi's angry appearance, and sighed slightly while finding it funny.

"She has a simple temper and can't hide her emotions. Telling her will only increase worries."

Not telling Lu Yi some things does not mean that she is not loyal enough, but that she is really impatient and upright.Tell her that she is afraid that there will be flaws that will make the emperor suspicious.So Su Zhesang decided to let her blather like this, mixing half the truth with the fake, so that the fake could be mistaken for the real.

"What's going on with Mrs. An?" Su Zhesang asked.

"It turns out that the maid serving Mrs. An had unclean hands and feet. She was kicked out by Aunt Xiaohua, the manager of Yangxin Pavilion, and Hong'er was chosen to serve her again."

"Hong'er is Xiao Xuzi's fellow countryman."

Su Zhesang nodded and said, "Hong'er is a smart person, I can definitely serve her well."

Seeing that the ink was dry, Su Zhesang folded the letter paper in half, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Chongqing.

"Are the rewards for General Hu ready?"

"Your Majesty ordered it to be prepared early in the morning. My servant checked it yesterday and it's safe." Chongqing took the letter. The envelope was signed by Mrs. Gu in a thin and elegant handwriting.

"Take this letter with the reward and have your father-in-law deliver it to Yi Yao." "I will send it to you personally later."

Su Zhesang nodded and warned, "There's no need to hide it, just give it generously."

General Hu was a subordinate of the former general Chang Ning. When General Chang Ning was executed for treason, the [-] Ning family troops fell into the hands of deputy general Hu Wei.

In order to dispel the old emperor's suspicion and protect the Ning family army, Hu Wei took the initiative to request an order to guard southern Hubei.

Southern Hubei is covered with glaciers and the environment is harsh. A group of barbarians even burn, kill and plunder from time to time. The people on the border are in dire straits.That was by no means a good place to raise troops. With such a huge army, if the court did not provide food and grass, it would not be unusual for a hundred thousand troops to starve to death.

Within half a year, the Ministry of Revenue complained that they could not adjust food and grass in southern Hubei. The old emperor cursed, but did not punish any of his ministers, nor did any of his ministers provide a solution.They tacitly performed a play together, which was absurd but enough to entertain the world.

Over time, no one mentioned the food and grass in southern Hubei anymore, and no one mentioned Hubei anymore.It was an abandoned child, and it should fend for itself.

Until Fu Rong was hiding in Beihuang and contacted the Ning family army to invade Kyoto.

Song Yiyao is Hu Wei's wife. Hu Wei cares about two things most, one is the future survival of the [-] Ning family army, and the other is his beloved wife Song Yiyao.

At that time, although Fu Rong contacted Hu Wei, Hu Wei wanted to support him.Fu Rong is the nephew of General Changning. Hu Wei can try his best to save Fu Rong's life, but he does not want the Ning family army to get involved in party strife again.

In the end, it was Su Zhesang who convinced Hu Wei and became close friends with his wife Song Yiyao.

A few days ago, Hu Wei led his army to rob an enemy city. Fu Rong was very happy and gave him rich treasures to show his kindness.

Su Zhesang's letter to Song Yiyao was just a longing and greeting between friends, without mentioning that he wanted to meet and have a chat at the autumn hunt in a few months, and have a good time over wine.

------

Su Zhesang casually picked out the day of flower viewing banquet which was quite good.

The sun is not dry and the breeze is just right.The concubines gathered in the imperial garden.

In fact, they were all ordinary flowers. Su Zhesang was also a drunkard and did not care about drinking. The banquet was held in a satisfactory manner.

Even so, the concubines were still in high spirits - because the emperor was coming.For them, this is a rare opportunity to see the emperor, and having the opportunity means unlimited possibilities.

The garden is full of beauty, not in the flowers but in the people. Each one of them has put a lot of thought into it, and each one is beautiful in its own way.

Su Zhesang took a quick look and saw that each of the three thousand beauties had their own merits.These are the women who are her husbands.They kept flocking to the emperor like moths to a flame, and she, Su Zhesang, was just one of them.

Fu Rong is not her ideal, and a well-behaved queen is not what she pursues.What she got and what she wanted were completely opposite to each other, all because she misjudged the person.It doesn't matter, she will correct it and put everything back to its original position.

"Greetings to your mother."

Concubine Shu came late, and Niao Pingting came towards the queen with a spring look on her face.The goose-yellow palace skirt is beautiful and bright, as dazzling as the Yao Huang Peony she gave her. It cannot be ignored. She habitually raises her chin slightly and looks forward, like a noble swan.

If Su Qiong'an is a beauty in the world that makes men flock to her, then Concubine Shu is a bright pearl, radiant and eye-catching.

Can such a concubine Shu be able to compete with Su Qiong'an?
