"You are a wonderful creature!"
The Queen Mother raised her hand and touched her face.
It is indeed tender, just like a freshly peeled egg!
Wash your face.
Su Jianyue also took out the rose water specially made by the imperial doctors, and took out the fine gauze cotton cloth that the palace maids had prepared in advance, soaked the cotton cloth in the rose water, and then picked up the gauze strips one by one and applied them wetly on the empress dowager's face.
"To receive this compliment from the Queen Mother makes me feel sweeter than eating honey!"
Finished working for the Queen Mother.
Su Jianyue just started to fiddle with her face.
She didn't care whether the Queen Mother was praising her sincerely or just pretending to.
As long as she said something today, the Queen Mother would listen to one tenth of it.
...
...
For Xiao Yuqi, this would reduce a lot of resistance.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and hummed softly.
No anger can be heard.
"You support the emperor in every word you say. Do you really think I can't hear that?"
In her hand, she was twisting a string of Buddhist beads, her thumb moving, and the shiny black beads passed between her thumb and index finger one by one, making slight sounds.
"He only wants to weaken the power of the noble families. He has never thought that if these noble families had not held on for many years, Tianyu would not have been able to survive until now and prosper day by day?"
"When it is useful, he treats it like a treasure, and when it is no longer useful, he throws it away like a worn-out shoe. He is so tyrannical and unreasonable. Does he really think that he can do whatever he wants just because he has the power? What a foolish dream!"
Su Jianyue thought of what was recorded in history books.
Emperor Zunsu strived for reform with drastic measures. The aristocratic families were defeated one after another. The soldiers trapped in the city cut off their own retreat and fought a desperate battle. Under the thundering force of Emperor Zunsu, a rift was torn open. In the end, both sides suffered losses.
The first reform was a great failure!
In fact, Xiao Yuqi was indeed doing something extremely dangerous.
How could the heritage of a century-old family be destroyed in a day or a night?
Xiao Yuqi was too anxious.
How could a king who had seen the prosperity of the world two thousand years later not be anxious when looking back at the world two thousand years ago?
"I don't understand the ways of being a monarch, but I feel that your majesty's original intention is not to eradicate all the noble families. If the noble families are kind, do their jobs, serve the country, and seek the welfare of the people, your majesty will naturally support them vigorously."
It’s just that most people have been in high positions for too long.
They have forgotten their original intentions, and use the welfare of the people to benefit themselves and take pleasure in the suffering of the people.
This is what has led to the current situation.
What Su Jianyue said was true.
Select talents through imperial examinations.
Xiao Yuqi did not prohibit the children of aristocratic families from participating.
In contrast, children of aristocratic families are educated from a young age, are well-read and knowledgeable, far surpassing ordinary people.
Wait until the day when the imperial examination officially begins.
The advantages of children from aristocratic families will far exceed those of ordinary people.
The room returned to silence.
Only the sound of the Buddhist beads turning could be heard.
Su Jianyue washed her face and looked at the sky outside.
Finally, he said: "Whether the Queen Mother believes it or not, what His Majesty needs is never an opponent like the late Crown Prince. What he wants is always the happiness of the people and the eternal stability of the country!"
The Queen Mother finally opened her eyes.
For the first time, he looked at Su Jianyue straight in the eye.
She suddenly understood why Xiao Yuqi was attracted to such a woman.
This little girl...is extraordinary!
"I understand your majesty's meaning!"
A word fell.
Su Jianyue felt half relieved.
She was able to defeat the previous emperor’s harem, had no children, and yet she was able to sit on the throne of the empress dowager.
How can such a person be stupid?
Su Jianyue lifted the veil covering the empress dowager's face.
Using the rose water that had not yet dried, he gently massaged the Empress Dowager's face with his fingers.
What can eliminate nasolabial folds, lift eye corners, and remove fine lines?
She explained each one in detail.
The palace maids in the hall learned carefully.
After she finished a series of massage techniques, the Queen Mother looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty must be waiting impatiently, you go first!"
Su Jianyue imitated the palace maids' gestures of greeting and smiled, "Yes."
"Come here often when you have time! You are the only one in this palace who can talk to me!"
Su Jianyue responded again: "Yes, next time, I will definitely bring more beauty products to the Queen Mother!"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was obviously disgusted, but she waved her hands in an impatient manner.
"Go quickly! You've been chattering all afternoon and it's giving me a headache!"
Su Jianyue walked out of the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace like a happy bird.
As soon as he went out, he saw Princess Zhaoyang kneeling at the gate of Ci'an Palace.
Her eyes were swollen from crying.
The moment he saw Su Jianyue, the jealousy in his eyes seemed to overflow.
The summer insects have been beaten to death.
Chuncan seemed to be frightened and trembled as he knelt beside her.
"You bitch, why did you come out of your aunt's palace?"
She felt deeply betrayed.
The whole person felt like being struck by lightning.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and was shaking with anger.
She was wrapped in a crimson cloak, which covered her disheveled clothes and dishevelled body.
So, when she knelt outside her aunt's door like a dog, begging for her forgiveness, hoping that she could lend her a helping hand.
Her aunt was actually having a good conversation with this bitch who seduced her cousin behind her back?
How is this possible?
"You caused me to lose my cousin. I will kill you!"
She showed a paranoid look.
The whole person seemed to be possessed by a demon.
She pulled out the pearl hairpin on her head and stabbed straight towards Su Jianyue.
Su Jianyue is not stupid.
She knew that this woman had bad intentions towards her.
Therefore, when Su Jianyue met Zhaoyang for the first time, she was fully prepared.
She pulled out the stun gun from her waist.
Sizzle!
A burst of electric current fell accurately on Zhaoyang's body.
It was so fast that Po Jun didn't have time to make a move.
He saw Zhaoyang running, unable to move, his whole body twitching and his eyes rolling up.
then.
With a loud bang, he fell to the ground.
Pojun suddenly shrank back.
He looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Su Jianyue took back the stun gun.
He used his thumb to scratch the tip of his delicate nose in a handsome manner.
"I am the god in heaven who controls thunder and lightning!"
Po Jun: “!!!”
"Goddess, is this thing you just used your magic weapon?"
Po Jun hesitated, "Goddess, can you lend me your magic weapon to try it out?"
Su Jianyue said, "Hmm?"
"I gave a lot of this to your Majesty. Didn't he give you one?"
Pojun's eyes grew bigger and bigger.
He scratched his ears.
"You...what did you say?"
"I said, I have given your Majesty a lot of this."
Puff!
It was as if something suddenly pierced Pojun's fragile little heart.
So much so that when Su Jianyue saw Xiao Yuqi standing at the intersection waiting for her.
She ran towards Xiao Yuqi happily.
The look that Pojun gave Xiao Yuqi was even more resentful than that of a concubine who had not been favored by His Majesty in the palace for twenty years!
