Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 9

Listening to every word of the Queen Mother, Su Qing's heart has already turned a thousand times.

When she and Feng Jun got married in the previous life, it was indeed difficult in the palace. Almost every meal could be found to be poisoned, and assassins would often break into the palace to assassinate. The noble prince and princess can only rely on each other for their lives, living in fear.

She wanted to tell the Queen Mother not to worry, after Feng Jun came to power, she would soon eliminate dissidents, conquer the north and south, pacify the frontiers, and also rectify the court and control the imperial power.Some people even commented that Feng Jun's ability is not inferior to that of the founder of the country.

However, he remembered that every time he was eating, that person would personally taste every dish he had, and only let her eat it after confirming that it was non-toxic.

Sometimes the emperor would even cook by himself in the small kitchen, and the emperor would wash his hands and make soup. He would frighten many people when he said it, but that person pampered him without any scruples.

How could that affection be a fake?

His throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't speak anything.Back then, Feng Jun cared so much about herself, held her in her palm, regarded her as a treasure, and didn't want her to suffer a little grievance, which made her truly believe that she was loved.

However, turning around is to admit a newcomer into the palace and imprison her in the cold palace.Despite such a huge gap, although she was discouraged, she was not in despair.Until I drank the bowl of soup medicine...

She raised her eyes inadvertently, and met Feng Jun's gaze.

That handsome face, that noble person, those inadvertent gentleness once consumed all her enthusiasm.

But when Su Qing looked directly into her heart, she found somewhat sadly that the heart that she thought had been completely chilled by a bowl of poison was still warm.

"Weili, you will be my concubine, and you will be my only queen in Fengjun's life." Fengjun had already stood up, walked in front of Su Qing, squatted down slightly to look at her, and stretched out her hand to hold her hand. Hands, her reflection is only in those eyes that are so gentle that you can almost drown, "You will be mine."

If she had never seen Feng Jun's harsh and cruel methods against her enemies, perhaps Su Qing would have believed that gentleness was all that Feng Jun had.

But by accident, Su Qing lowered her eyes and nodded, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Even now, she doesn't want another woman to take her place by Feng Jun's side.Those people were right. She was a selfish woman who had no children in the six years since she entered the palace.

However, even if she wanted to stand by this man's side, she would never repeat the same mistakes and become the Queen Su Qing who was imprisoned in the cold palace in her previous life.

"Thank you." Feng Jun held Su Qing's hand tightly, and Su Qing didn't understand the complex emotions in her eyes. Of course, she didn't expect that Feng Jun's thank you contained so many complicated emotions.

Su Qing withdrew her hand from Feng Jun's slightly calloused hand, and secretly glanced at the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Su pretended not to turn her head to see, but she couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.

After the palace people sent Su Qing out of the palace, Feng Jun directly stayed at the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace for dinner.

"Prince, the Su family is now on your side. The 30 troops in the court are in the hands of the Su family and his son. At least the frontier is safe. Your mother's Liu family also controls the imperial guards in the capital. It is the emperor who wants to make the noble concubine the empress, so he will not tamper with your crown prince." Empress Dowager Su looked at the young prince and said in a deep voice.

Feng Jun nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Thank you, Grandmother, for taking care of your grandson."

The Empress Dowager took out a secret letter from her sleeve and handed it to Feng Jun: "This is a note that Prime Minister Wang asked someone to pass to Ai's family, saying that it is for his nephew to ask for grace."

Feng Jun took the secret letter and opened it for a look, then sneered: "Let his nephew be the bodyguard next to the palace? Prime Minister Wang is planning to arrange people around the palace?"

The Empress Dowager patted Feng Jun's hand lightly: "Now the emperor trusts the courtiers, and alienates the generals. There have long been rumors among the people that the emperor's trusted Prime Minister Wang, Han Shangshu and Li Guogong are the three tigers. It's a pity that the emperor insists on going his own way, and the loyal ministers remonstrate He would not listen. The Ai family was worried that the court would be controlled by three people, which would eventually lead to a catastrophe. It is a pity that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Ai family can do nothing."

Feng Jun looked at the queen mother: "Don't worry, grandma, grandson will save."

"Although Prime Minister Wang has become more arrogant in recent years, he is also the most undisguised one. As long as such a person gives enough benefits, I don't worry too much. But Han Shangshu still has 15 troops in his hands, and this person has always been ambitious. In recent years, he has become more and more rested and recuperated, so he has to guard against it. As for Li Guogong, the Ai family has never seen through him." Empress Dowager Su sighed heavily again.

Feng Jun nodded slightly, but she couldn't help but admire Queen Mother Su's vicious eyes and her ability to see people very accurately.The facts are not far from her predictions.However, in the previous life, Feng Jun was able to cook these old gingers little by little, so naturally she will not sit idly by in this life.

The only thing he cared about was Su Qing.

Su Qing was on her way back at the moment, when she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair slightly, she saw the bustling night market outside the capital.Strings of red lanterns hung under the eaves of the high-rise buildings, and there were many people coming and going in the night markets on both sides.

This is the busiest night market street in the capital, and most of the food sold is supper and the like.Su Qing was not interested in those foods, but looking at those shops that were still open, she had a vague idea in her heart.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Mrs. Su came over and sat down for a while, asking about the affairs in the palace.Su Qing didn't tell her what the queen mother and the prince had said, and there was nothing else to say, except that the prince gave a phoenix as a gift.

Seeing that her daughter seemed to be in a good mood, Mrs. Su went back in peace.

It was late at night, Su Qing asked Shi Qin to take out all her private houses, and after counting them, she found that the banknotes totaled 3 taels, plus some antique jade articles, the estimated value was around 5 taels.

For ordinary people, this might be an astronomical sum, but Su Qing knew that this amount of money would not even reach the eyes of many fifth-rank officials in Beijing.

It has been more than [-] years since the founding of the Da'an Dynasty, and there are countless rich and powerful families in the capital.

In addition, the emperor paid more attention to civil affairs than military affairs, turned a blind eye to the corruption of many civil officials, and even condoned and sheltered them, but demanded military officials, and even cut military expenditures and abolished the army many times.

It has become a common phenomenon in the DPRK and China that civil servants control the government, and the living space of military officials has been repeatedly compressed.Coupled with the many aristocratic families in Beijing and the intertwined forces of all parties, the prince and the queen mother in the deep palace were almost emptied of power.

Su Qing still remembered that in her previous life, in the few years after Feng Jun ascended the throne, the treasury was empty and the household department was incompetent. Those officials in the court even called the Da'an Dynasty a state of the emperor, a state of etiquette, and raising a large number of troops was against the peace of heaven. In addition, Da'an's national strength is strong, and no one dares to commit crimes. Therefore, the army should be disarmed to support the government.

The official who said this was beaten up by many military officers on the spot. As a result, the military officer who did it was deprived of his rank and his family property by the assistant minister.

The final solution to the matter was that Feng Jun took money out of her own private treasury to fill the vacancy in the state treasury.

In the two years since then, it has become the norm to use the emperor's private treasury to support the state treasury.And during that time, everyone in the palace had a very difficult life.

Maybe it was because she didn't see Feng Jun put the poison in the soup with her own eyes, so she still stubbornly had a little fantasy in her heart, and the emperor didn't know about it.Although he is indifferent, he is not unfeeling to himself.

She, Su Qing, is arrogant, domineering, and jealous, and she was all spoiled by Feng Jun.

This temperament has been deeply ingrained and cannot be changed.Since it was Feng Jun who pampered herself into a selfish and self-willed temperament, he naturally had to take this bitter pill by himself!

He endured 13 years to ascend to the throne, deliberately trying to hold the throne firmly in his own hands.Then she doesn't mind letting him lose what he cares most about.

This time, even if they go to hell, they have to drag that person with them.
