Chapter 380: Is this all the fighting power you have?
After the enthronement ceremony, there was basically nothing to do, but Xiao Jin had to go to the imperial study to take over the state affairs, and Su Ying had to return to the harem to take over the affairs of the harem.
After returning to the Queen's Fengxiang Palace, Su Ying quickly asked Mother Zhao to take off her phoenix robe and change into a looser casual dress.
Mother Zhao took the bird's nest porridge from Bai Shuang and brought it in, "Your Highness, eat something and take a rest."
Su Ying opened the porcelain bowl and finished it in one breath.
"Are you hungry, madam?"
"I'm hungry. I haven't had lunch yet."
Mother Zhao smiled and said, "I knew that the Madam must be hungry. I have asked Bai Shuang to go to the imperial kitchen to serve the food. The Madam will have something to eat soon."
The female official standing in the room frowned again when she heard this. "Your Majesty has already eaten a lot. If you eat more, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to digest it. Why don't you eat later?"
Mother Zhao turned to look at the female official, who was Emperor Kangze's wet nurse, Nanny Fang.
After the Empress Dowager gave birth to Emperor Kangze, she initially disliked him because of her resentment towards the Emperor Retired.
Emperor Kangze was raised by his wet nurse, Nanny Fang, since he was young, and he had a bit of a maternal complex towards her, so after he ascended the throne, he brought Nanny Fang into the palace and made her a female official, letting her serve as the empress's assistant, and in fact, also as a spy around the empress.
Now that Emperor Kangze is dead, Nanny Fang has not left the palace and is still staying there as a female official.
She felt that with her qualifications, even the new queen would have to be courteous to her, so when she spoke to Su Ying, she unconsciously put on the same attitude as she did to the former queen.
Back then, Emperor Kangze was on her side, and the former queen didn't dare to do anything to her. But she didn't know that Su Ying was different from others.
Mother Zhao smiled and said, "Madame Fang has been busy all day, why don't you go back and rest for a while?"
Nanny Fang gave Mother Zhao a stern look, "Is this how Nanny Zhao indulges the Queen? You think this is good for the Queen, but you don't know that you are harming her. In our Chu country, thinness has always been considered beautiful. If the Queen is allowed to eat without restraint, and she falls out of favor, can Nanny Zhao afford it?"
For Nanny Fang, the biggest fear of a married woman is losing her husband's favor. She said this to let Su Ying know who understands the rules of the palace better and who should be trusted by Su Ying more.
Sure enough, after Nanny Fang finished speaking, she glanced at Su Ying and saw her frowning. Just as she was waiting for Mother Zhao to be attacked, she heard Su Ying impatiently say, "Mother Zhao, don't tell me, this is all your fighting power is?"
Mother Zhao's face tightened, and she immediately became more aggressive. "Madame Fang, how can you make irresponsible comments about the master's affairs? What are you still standing there for? Madame Fang is so tired that she is talking nonsense. Why don't you send the people away to rest? Have a good rest, and don't let anyone come out again if there is nothing to do!"
It is said that it is easy to see the King of Hell but difficult to deal with little ghosts. Mother Zhao specializes in dealing with these ignorant little ghosts.
Nanny Fang was kicked out before she could even come to her senses.
The world is finally quiet.
Bai Shuang came back with a lunch box, smiling.
"Queen, guess what delicious food Uncle He has prepared for you today?" After they entered the palace, He Shouyi also came. Xiao Jin arranged him to the imperial kitchen to cook specifically for them.
Su Ying could smell the aroma through the food box, "Grilled lamb chops, stir-fried eel with soy sauce, crystal pork elbow and roast chicken."
Bai Shuang was extremely surprised. "How did the Queen know that? She guessed everything right!"
She opened the food box and found four layers of dishes in total, each dish was served on a large plate.
Su Ying raised her chin proudly. How could she not know? This was the dish she and He Shouyi specifically requested yesterday. How could he make anything else?
Su Ying directly picked up a lamb chop and started eating.
The lamb chops were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they were so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue.
She ate up all the delicious food on the table without leaving any.
After eating and drinking, Su Ying went to the couch to rest for a while.
When I woke up, it was dark outside.
Su Ying sat up from the couch and yawned. This palace was really boring.
Su Ying called out, and Bai Shuang, who was guarding outside the door, walked in, "The Queen is awake."
"Is it just getting dark?"
"Yes, it's just getting dark. The princess and the eldest prince came over just now. When they saw that Your Majesty was still sleeping, they went back to study."
Su Ying hummed and felt that the two treasures were working even harder.
"I'll go over and take a look."
Since the two children were still young, Su Ying let them live with her, and their rooms were in the separate room.
When Su Ying arrived, the two little guys had just finished their dinner. When they saw Su Ying coming, they stood up and walked over.
"Mother, you finally woke up."
"My mother is getting more and more sleepy. She's about to become a lazy bum."
Su Ying cried out that she was wronged. She was just feeling sleepy because she felt dizzy and drowsy due to the tedious procedures in the morning.
"Mother, have you had dinner?"
"No, I'll eat it later."
"Mother, look at the big characters written by Ling'er and brother." Erbao pulled Su Ying to the table and handed the characters he had written to Su Ying as if he were presenting a treasure.
Su Ying took it and looked at it. She had to admit that the handwriting was better than hers. "Not bad, Ling'er is making great progress."
Ling'er smiled shyly and said, "Daddy said that Ling'er's handwriting must not be as ugly as my mother's."
Su Ying: “…”
Oh, thank you so much.
"Mother, will Daddy come back tonight?"
"That's hard to say." Emperor Kangze died suddenly, and who knows how many messes he left for Xiao Jin. He probably won't have much free time in the short term.
"Then can you sleep with us tonight, please?"
"no problem."
After washing up at night, Su Ying lay down on the bed with her two children.
But in the middle of the night, Su Ying felt someone picked her up from the bed. She smelled the familiar scent on him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, and he still put her into the slightly cool quilt.
The next second, Su Ying was hugged by Xiao Jin from behind.
Xiao Jin kissed her on the forehead, then hugged her and closed his eyes.
The next morning.
Before dawn, Su Ying heard a rustling sound coming from beside her.
She opened her eyes and saw Zhang Shuming helping Xiao Jin change his clothes and wash up. He was going to attend the morning court.
Su Ying felt that being an emperor was really boring and he didn't even have the right to sleep in.
Xiao Jin got dressed and saw her sitting up. "Why don't you sleep more?"
"I slept too much yesterday and now I can't sleep. I'll get up and practice for a while."
Xiao Jin knew her habits and didn't say anything, "Well, I'll go to court first."
"good."
Su Ying had just finished her morning exercise and washed up when a palace maid came to say that Princess Pingling from the Southern Kingdom wanted to see her.
Su Ying's expression paused. She had forgotten that the envoys from the Southern Country were still in the capital.
