Chapter 151: Entanglement

Jun Zechen wrote the imperial edict in a very graceful manner, and then gave orders with a stern look.

"Anshun, take the imperial edict to the Duke's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion to read it out. Six months later, County Lord Qingping and Minister Su will get married."

Having said that, he handed the imperial edict over.

An Shun took the imperial edict respectfully with both hands, a gratified smile on his face.

I am also very happy to facilitate such a good relationship.

He quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

An Shun had some impression of Princess Qingping when she was a child in the palace. Thinking of her at that time, An Shun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just a poor little girl.

After An Shun retreated, Jun Zechen hugged Su Jingyao and lay back on the bed with a malicious smile on his face.

"Satisfied?"

"Your Majesty is playing chess, I asked Miaoyun to bring my chessboard over."

Su Jingyao coquettishly pushed away his strong chest.

She knew it very well in her heart. Don't think she didn't know what bad intentions he was thinking at the moment.

"Let's play chess later."

Jun Zechen slowly let down the curtains of the dragon bed, and the atmosphere inside the bed suddenly became ambiguous.

Pieces of clothing were thrown out from behind the curtain, first the large items of clothing, then the smaller items of underwear.

"Don't do this position, my knees hurt!" Su Jingyao protested, panting.

"Coquettish."

Jun Zechen bit her earlobe gently.

"Sit on me?"

Jun Zechen asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Su Jingyao responded with a moan.

......

"I have no strength left."

Su Jingyao was sweating profusely and lay directly on Jun Zechen's broad chest, gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Jun Zechen gently slapped her delicate buttocks.

He teased, "Little waste."

Then Jun Zechen turned over and pressed the weak and powerless person under him.

Ever since Jun Zechen issued the imperial decree to grant her marriage, Su Jingyao has been living in the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, it was to catch the Lord of Qingping County.

After all, the county lord is a title. If you want to enter the palace, just submit a memorial to Jun Zechen.

To be on the safe side, Su Jingyao could only stay in the Qianqing Palace every day, otherwise how would she know what the county lord wanted to say to Jun Zechen.

Even though she was hugged and chewed by that bastard Jun Zechen every day, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

After Su Jingyao finished handling the affairs of the six palaces in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, she got up and went to Yu's study.

The position of emperor is indeed difficult.

She stayed in the Qianqing Palace for half a month, and Jun Zechen got up before dawn to attend the morning court.

During the day, except for meal times, I basically stayed busy in Yu's study.

It’s okay not to talk about it at night.

After Su Jingyao gave birth to the twins, the concubines' daily greetings were changed to once every five days.

Naturally, she did whatever made her feel comfortable. After all, these concubines had been finding their own fun since Jun Zechen left the harem.

Those with children can play with them, and those without children can embroider flowers and play with birds, or appreciate flowers and drink tea. They can do anything.

After she became the empress, she thought she was pretty good to the concubines in the harem.

Except that they could not be given the emperor's favor.

If she was bullied by the servants, Su Jingyao would send a female official to deal with it seriously.

If you are out of money, come to her and she will take care of it properly.

As long as the palace maids and servants performed well, they would receive rewards, and this was the case in every palace.

It is probably a combination of modern management and ancient knowledge, so that on the surface the harem is still peaceful and friendly.

However, there are exceptions to this rule with some concubines who are more broad-minded.

For example, there are still a few concubines who are slightly pretty and have been looking forward to Jun Zechen going to the harem. They are always racking their brains in private, thinking of ways to attract Jun Zechen's attention.

But most concubines were content with the status quo and enjoyed the peace and tranquility.

Su Jingyao sat on Jun Zechen's left leg, her arms around his neck, her body leaning forward slightly.

"Your Majesty, why are you so busy lately?"

Su Jingyao blinked her big watery eyes and spoke in a gentle voice.

Jun Zechen's left hand firmly wrapped around her slender waist, while his right hand was still holding the pen, marking the memorials with concentration.

"When am I not busy?"

Jun Zechen turned his head, glanced at her, raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

Su Jingyao pursed her lips and said nothing more.

But the fair little hand had been gently caressing Jun Zechen's neck intentionally or unintentionally.

The movements are gentle and seductive.

Jun Zechen was originally reviewing memorials seriously, but his gradually darkening eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.

"What happened today? Are you making trouble for me?"

Jun Zechen's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed desire.

"No, I am waiting for your majesty to have lunch, right?"

Su Jingyao had an innocent smile on her face, but her eyes were a little evasive.

Of course, it was because Su Jingyao learned a few days ago that the Lord of Qingping County had submitted a memorial and would be entering the palace today.

So I stayed in Yu's study.

"Yaoyao wants to be the demon queen?"

Jun Zechen put his left hand around her waist and pinched it hard, with a hint of feigned anger on his face.

"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. I clearly want to be the virtuous queen!"

Su Jingyao glared at him coquettishly, her lips slightly pouted.

Jun Zechen shook his head helplessly.

"If I hadn't shut up all the palace maids in the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, Yaoyao would have stayed in the Qianqing Palace every day to pester me, and the court officials and the people would have already called her a witch queen."

Jun Zechen had asked her to stay in the Qianqing Palace before, but she always found various reasons to return to the Kunning Palace.

I don't know what happened during the past half month, but she has been pestering him in the Qianqing Palace every day.

"Since Your Majesty does not want me to stay with you in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, I will leave."

Su Jingyao said this and made a move to get up and leave, her face full of grievance.

Having said that, Su Jingyao twisted her body and was about to get off his legs.

But Jun Zechen's hands held her waist tightly like an iron clamp, making her unable to move at all.

"I'm just kidding you."

There was a helpless smile on Jun Zechen's face, but his eyes were filled with doting.

"We recaptured Yuehui and Canglang some time ago. The various arrangements between the two countries were more complicated than a war. We finally resolved them, but Lingyu and Yuelin sent us another report."

Jun Zechen frowned slightly.

"They requested to become a vassal state of my monarchy and pay tribute every year. In the past, vassal states were self-governing. But if this is the case, how can I unify the world?"

"So even if they become vassal states of the monarchy this time, I will let Lingyu and Yuelin accept the cultural influence and political rule of the monarchy."

"So I've been quite busy these few days. Yaoyao, please be obedient and don't bother me for now."

As Jun Zechen spoke, he tightened his grip, as if to comfort her.

With her here, Jun Zechen really wants to be a tyrant, and it really affects the progress of his review of memorials.

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of thought flashing across her eyes.

No wonder she couldn't understand the memorial, it turned out to be from a foreign country.

At this time, An Shun lowered his head and walked in cautiously.

Knowing that the Empress was there, An Shun dared not look up and could only stare at the ground.

"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty and the Empress."

An Shun's voice was full of respect, and his body was bent very low.

"What is it?"

Jun Zechen's gentle voice suddenly became stern.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Qingping County is waiting outside."

When Jun Zechen heard this, he was confused for a moment and frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, I remembered that the Lord of Qingping County had indeed submitted a memorial to the palace a few days ago.

The content is roughly about how after returning to the capital, he has not yet come to visit his cousin, and takes the opportunity to thank the emperor for the marriage.

Jun Zechen naturally agreed to her letter of greeting.

"Let her in."

"yes."

An Shun responded and hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty, I will wait for you inside."

She finally came, and it was worth it that she had stayed in the Qianqing Palace for most of the month.

"From now on, you two are sisters-in-law. She came here today to thank you for the marriage proposal. Yaoyao doesn't need to avoid suspicion."

Jun Zechen obviously felt that it was only natural for the two of them to accept Xie En from Qingping County Lord together.

"No need. The Qingping County Lord is well-educated and will definitely come to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to me later."

"Since the county lord has come to see His Majesty today, you two siblings haven't seen each other for several years. I am here, and the county lord is shy and can't say anything."

Su Jingyao shook her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips.

The Lord of Qingping County and Jun Zechen are indeed brother and sister, and they should be relatives, but in this ancient time they can still discuss marriage.

As a modern person, Su Jingyao finds it difficult to accept this.

And if she were here, how could she test the Lord of Qingping County?

Thinking of this, Su Jingyao no longer hesitated and walked inside.
