Qinzheng Hall
Su Man sat in front of a desk piled with memorials, flipping through them one by one.
Emperor Man was not attentive to government affairs, and the unreviewed memorials had piled up like a mountain. Moreover, judging from the content of the memorials, the officials in the court also knew that Emperor Man would not read them carefully, and even some major financial and tax matters were vague.
But there were also some who made risky suggestions, advising Emperor Man not to indulge in male beauty, but to reorganize the government and take back the scattered power.
As Su Man read through them, she sorted the memorials according to their importance and urgency, and secretly noted down which people were available and which were not.
"Meow~"
Mimi, who was lying on Suman's legs, stretched and jumped off her legs.
Mimi was now the Queen's pet, and before she could even have a chance to entertain herself, a palace maid immediately came forward and picked her up, while several other palace maids brought cakes, toys, and other things to tease her.
Mimi's cat life reached its peak in an instant.
Such a harmonious scene was destroyed by Nong Shuang who came in hastily.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lu is here and says that Lord Di wants you to come over."
"Oh." Su Man buried her head in the desk without raising it.
Nong Shuang didn't notice Su Man's perfunctory response and asked, "Do you want me to prepare a sedan chair for you now?"
Su Man looked up and said with a half-smile, "Who said I was going?"
Nong Shuang was confused, "You are not..."
"What?"
Su Man put down the memorial in her hand and said calmly, "If anyone in the harem invites me, I will go. Then I won't have to do anything else every day."
Nong Shuang looked at Su Man with confusion in her eyes. Normally, not to mention Di Zixiao personally asking someone to invite her, even if she saw something that Di Zixiao liked, Di Man would rush to see him with it.
Now that Xiao Lu has come to her house, she reacts so coldly, which is really hard to understand.
Nong Shuang tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, I believe that Di Shijun did not mean to offend you. Now that he has been punished, he has taken the initiative to seek peace with Your Majesty. Why don't you forgive him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another palace servant echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's rare to see Di Shijun bow his head. He must want to apologize. If you don't, won't there be a rift between the two of you later?"
From what they said, it seemed that Di Zixiao had already given you a way out, so why didn't you jump down yourself?
Although they didn't say it directly, in their hearts, they already placed Di Zixiao above Di Man.
It can be seen that Di Man had really spoiled Di Zixiao too much in the past, and even let him ride on her head.
It's not just the servants. I'm afraid Di Zixiao himself also thinks he is superior to others. It's time for him to wake up.
Su Man closed the memorial in her hand, turned her wrist and said, "Go, call Xiao Lu in."
"Why."
Nong Shuang looked as if she had expected it, agreed and went out.
When she came out, Xiao Lu was sitting on the stone block at the door.
Nong Shuang frowned, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she slapped him on the back, "Why are you sitting here? You can't sit here without the master giving you a seat. If someone sees you..."
"So what if someone sees it?"
Xiao Lu didn't care. "As long as my master is here, I don't believe His Majesty will punish me."
"Never mind, just follow me in."
Nong Shuang pulled him, looking very familiar with him, but before entering the hall, Nong Shuang kept a distance from Xiao Lu.
Nong Shuang went in before him and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Xiao Lu is here."
Xiao Lu knelt on the ground, but his back was straight. "Your Majesty, my master invites you over. Please don't delay any longer."
???
Su Man smiled instead of getting angry. She said gently, "Don't delay. I didn't know that a mere servant could summon the emperor."
Perhaps Su Man's tone was too gentle, making Xiao Lu think that Su Man was still angry with Di Zixiao. He kowtowed to the ground and said calmly, "I have conveyed my master's message. As for whether Your Majesty goes or not, it is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide."
He said he would listen to Suman, but his expression didn't say that. His face said, "I don't think you dare to not go."
Seeing that he had no respect for her, Su Man narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "I didn't know that a slave could control this emperor."
Before Xiao Lu could react, Su Man threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. "Come here, drag this arrogant slave to the Ministry of Punishment and teach him a lesson."
“…”
After Su Man said this, the palace servants around her looked at each other, and no one dared to take action.
Nong Shuang stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, Xiao Lu is always by Lord Di's side. If he's gone, Lord Di will be inconvenienced. Please be lenient with him."
Su Man glanced at Nong Shuang. Although Di Zixiao was Di Man's favorite, it was not strange for Nong Shuang to persuade him, but she said too much.
She had a plan in mind, but she didn't show it. She just said lightly, "What? You want to be my master too?"
Nong Shuang was stunned and knelt down quickly, "I dare not."
At this moment, everyone realized that Su Man was serious. The palace servants rushed forward quickly and dragged Xiao Lu out.
Before Xiao Lu could react, his feet were off the ground. He shouted to the inside of the palace, "Your Majesty! I am the personal palace attendant of Lord Di! Your Majesty!"
No matter how he shouted, Suman remained indifferent.
...
In this way, Xiao Lu was taken directly to the Ministry of Punishment.
As soon as the door was opened, a foul odor was emitted. Xiao Lu held the door tightly and refused to go in. "I want to see the servant, I want to see the servant!"
