Chapter 9 Easier said than done
"Too much deceit!" Bai Zhi took a step forward and arrived at Zhao Jing's side. Just as she was about to say something next to her, Cang Zhu behind her tugged her.

"Speak carefully." Pulling Bai Zhi behind her, Cang Zhu saluted Zhao Jing. "Your Majesty, forgive me, slaves and maidservants should not talk about the master."

Zhao Jing came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Cang Zhu and Bai Zhi, they were all brought in by Xie Zhao from Zhongyonghou's mansion.

If the maid knows how to measure, how come his two imperial sisters are like this in front of people?

He couldn't believe it, but he didn't know how to explain what happened just now.

This kind of thing had never happened before him. As for whether it happened in front of Xie Zhao and how many times it happened, he didn't know.

If the two of them have been like this in front of Xie Zhao...

In Zhao Jing's ears, it seemed that what Xie Zhao had said to him about the royal sisters sounded.

"Your Majesty, the maid has specially prepared other meals for you in the small kitchen, should we take them away?"

Cardamom replied in a low voice, the dishes on the table were like that, and she didn't want to move any more just looking at them.

But there are still many things to do today, so I have to eat.

Zhao Jing headed, Xiao Yun ordered the palace servants to remove the food, Cardamom took Bai Zhi out, and wanted to serve the food again for the master.

"Your Majesty, do you want to tell His Majesty what happened just now?" Cang Zhu's voice came again, Zhao Jing opened his mouth, then shook his head.

He has seen it with his own eyes, and no one needs to tell him.

"Your Majesty has been wronged. If Master Hou and Madam know about it, they will feel very distressed!"

Cang Zhu's voice was also filled with distress, Zhao Jing listened, but didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer these words.

I used to be with Xie Zhao and his wife for nearly thirty years, and I never won a quarrel with her.

In his impression, Xie Zhao is like a rose with thorns, no matter who it is, she will prick it.

He never thought that such a woman would be wronged.

But now...

Cardamom brought Bai Zhi to the table again, which was their master's favorite food. Zhao Jing noticed that Bai Zhi's eye circles were a little red, obviously, just like Cang Zhu, they both felt sorry for their master.

He finished his breakfast in silence, and before he could rest for a while, people from the Shang Palace Bureau came.

According to the rules, after the big wedding, the empress will be guided by the people from the Shang Palace Bureau to familiarize herself with all parts of the palace, and she will accept palace affairs little by little until she is almost familiar with it.

Zhao Jing was only 13 years old when he came to the throne, and he only got married when he arrived. In the past five years, all affairs in the harem were handled by the queen mother.

But now that there is a queen, sooner or later the queen mother will have to surrender her authority.

-

After the morning court, Xie Zhao was led by Jiang Hai to the Nuan Pavilion of Wentai Hall to rest for a while.

"How about the queen?" The morning court went smoothly, and the daily lecture will start soon. Xie Zhao was thinking about Zhao Jing's side, and Jiang Hai had been asking about it before.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the two eldest princesses have already been there, and I heard that they get along very well with the Empress Empress. It is estimated that people from the Yeting Bureau or the Palace Bureau should go there now."

Xie Zhao nodded, but he didn't believe what Jiang Hai said about "getting along well". As for the Ye Ting Bureau or the Palace Bureau...

No one will come today, at most people from the Shang Palace Bureau. It is not so easy for the new empress to take over the power from the empress dowager.

In her previous life, she moved out of Jianzhang Palace ahead of time because she contracted the wind and cold. It was not until she entered the palace for half a year and confronted the Queen Mother several times overtly and secretly that she held the palace power in her hands.

Now that Zhao Jing has become her, what will happen to him?

"My lords, please come in, let's start the daily talk." Retracting her thoughts, she gave an order, Jiang Hai took the order, and invited the ministers who were waiting in the side hall to come in.

The teachers of the daily lectures and the afternoon lectures are all ministers of the court, and the distribution of courses occasionally changes. Sometimes in the afternoon, instead of the afternoon lectures, there are riding and archery courses. The court and China have never been particularly partial to civil and military matters.

When he was at home, Xie Zhao would read books with his elder brothers, but after entering the palace, he lost his freedom in many things, even if he read books again, they were just idle books.

She never wanted to live a new life, and she could experience such a battle when she was reading. She picked up the book with a smile and turned to the part that I will talk about today.

-

Zhao Jing was led by the people from the Shang Palace Bureau, and he was familiar with every place in the palace. He frowned slightly, and always felt that something was not right.

"What's the matter, master?" Xiao Yun was by Zhao Jing's side. She was the aunt in charge of Fengming Palace. Although she was assigned by the Palace Bureau, she knew in her heart that the queen was her master.

"According to the regulations, is this the place to start to understand the various places in the palace?" Zhao Jing thought that if he wanted to understand the various places in the palace, he should start from the Gongwei Bureau or Shanggong Bureau, even if he didn't start from the Yeting Bureau.

But after the people from the Shang Palace Bureau left Jianzhang Palace, the Shang Bedroom Bureau came first, and the people in charge here were all insignificant, just a quick glance.

However, the people from the Shang Palace Bureau took him around here several times, as if he had to stay here today.

"Hui Niangniang, according to the regulations, you should first get acquainted with the Ye Ting Bureau or the Palace Bureau, and then the Liu Shang, but now this arrangement, the slaves don't understand the reason."

"Since you don't understand, let's ask to understand." After ordering, Zhao Jing found a chair and sat down.

"Empress, the slave is only following orders, please don't embarrass the slave."

The palace servant who had been leading them around the bedroom was kneeling on the ground, and Zhao Jing looked at him, feeling unfamiliar.

There has never been a body swap in the previous life. He has always been the emperor. Before the wedding, the empress dowager was in charge of the palace affairs. After the wedding, he gradually became Xie Zhao.

As the emperor, he was preoccupied with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and even if he was occasionally disturbed by the affairs of the harem, it was mostly related to the empress dowager and the empress.

All the affairs in the harem were taken care of by Xie Zhao, and he never asked more questions about whether the personnel were changed or not.

Even so, he still remembered what the steward of the Shang Palace Bureau looked like. The person in front of him...

"What position do you hold in the Shang Palace Bureau?" Since he was unfamiliar with it, he simply asked one more question.

"Go back to your mother, the slave is the steward of the Shang Palace Bureau."

"Then you said just now that you were acting under orders, but whose orders were you following?"

"Slave...slave..." The steward faltered, realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly turned back, "It's not someone's order, but the slave is thinking, the empress has just entered the palace, it will take time to get used to it. "

"That's why the slave wants to take the empress to understand from the simplest sleeping situation. It's almost the same now, the slave will take you to another place to have a look?"

Zhao Jing was still staring at him, how could he not realize that the steward was fooling him?
Even the new empress who just entered the palace doesn't have much power in her hands right now, and she is not something a slave can neglect.

What happened in the morning, together with what happened at this time, made Zhao Jing's heart burn even hotter.

"Drag it on, send thirty boards to the Palace Bureau, and let the stewards of the Palace Bureau and Yeting Bureau go to Jianzhang Palace to see me."
