Chapter 19

Seeing the palace people retreat, Xie Zhao was a little puzzled, she turned her gaze back and looked at Zhao Jing.

"By the way, why did you provoke Li Jieyu?" Thinking of Li Jieyu suing him today, Xie Zhao asked with a smile.

"Li Jieyu?" Zhao Jing was taken aback for a moment, swallowing the words that came to his lips and turning them into questions.

"Yesterday, Li Jieyu sent someone to invite your Majesty to come down for dinner. I wanted to agree, but I heard that you hired another steward, so I changed my way to Fushou Palace..."

Tell him what you didn't tell Zhao Jing yesterday.

"I have tried my best. I heard that the Palace Bureau has a new manager today? Presumably, there will be no more problems in the recent period."

Now that the Palace Bureau has changed to a new manager, it means that the Empress Dowager has indeed taken care of it.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Jingting nodded, no wonder the Palace Bureau changed its manager, he thought it was the queen mother... but he didn't expect it to be a lobbyist.

"What do you want to tell me?" Looking at Zhao Jing, Xie Zhao guessed that what she said just now should have made him feel uncomfortable, so she changed the subject.

"There is something." He came back to his senses and said what he wanted to say.

For the emperor, there is a way of balance in the previous dynasty, and the same is true for the harem.

In the past, when he went to the harem, most of them had a fixed number, and he would not favor anyone or treat anyone poorly.

"Well... I do know that you don't go to the harem very often, but later the queen mother organized a draft. Although the concubines in this palace can be counted with your fingers, it is not easy to treat everyone equally, right?"

Leaning on the soft couch, Xie Zhao looked at the person sitting opposite him and asked curiously.

She knew that even if the two of them lived in Jianzhang Palace together, some things would not necessarily happen.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Jing wants to be evenly exposed to rain and dew in the harem...

Xie Zhao felt that he couldn't imagine it.

"Even if I go to the harem, it doesn't have to happen. The key lies in whether I go or not."

With a chuckle, Zhao Jing explained that Xie Zhao stared at him, which was something she had never thought of.

"Now that you have become me, there is no big deal right now. Maybe you think it is not difficult to be an emperor, but after a long time, you will naturally know some things."

"It's as if I have become you now, and I know many things that I didn't know before."

Looking at Xie Zhao, Zhao Jing was talking about his own thoughts, Xie Zhao looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Zhao Jing thought she would not speak, and was about to call the palace servants in again, Xie Zhao said in a low tone, "After you became me, you talked more than before."

Zhao Jing froze slightly, turned to look at Xie Zhao, she was smiling at him with her own face on her face, that smile was full of jokes no matter how you looked at it.

He gave Xie Zhao a blank look, and gave instructions to the outside of the hall.

Xie Zhao looked at him with a bigger smile on his face.

The palace guards outside the palace were ordered to come in, Jiang Hai and Xiao Yun saw at a glance that the emperor and empress were sitting together on the soft couch, and His Majesty was looking at the empress and smiling.

They quickly lowered their heads, and when they reached the empress, Jiang Hai asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the food?"

Just as Zhao Jing was about to speak, Xie Zhao sat up straight and said, "Let's pass on the meal."

Jiang Hai took the order and ordered the palace servants to pass on the meals.

Zhao Jing turned her head and looked at Xie Zhao. The smile on her face subsided a lot. Seeing Zhao Jing looking at her, she blinked at him.

If Xie Zhao did this kind of action, it would be nothing, but when it was shown by Zhao Jing's face, it looked weird no matter how you looked.

Fortunately, the palace people didn't see it, Zhao Jing glared at Xie Zhao again, and looked away.

After eating dinner and eating again, after each of them took a bath, the emperor and empress went back to the inner room together and screened off the palace people.

"Your mother and sister-in-law will enter the palace tomorrow." During dinner, Zhao Jing remembered this matter, but it was inconvenient to say that because there were palace people around.

"Even if they enter the palace, I can't meet them now." Now that she has become Zhao Jing, how can she see her mother and sister-in-law?

Sure enough, things in this world can never have both.

In the past, she was a queen, and she could see her mother and sister-in-law, but not her father and brother.

Now that she has become Zhao Jing, she can see her father and brother through Zhao Jing, but she cannot meet her mother and sister-in-law.

"If you think about it, they will bring some homemade food, and you will be lucky then."

Zhao Jing became Xie Zhao, and his taste changed.

"Don't worry, you can eat those foods." He responded, Xie Zhao smiled, and didn't speak again.

-

If Zhao Jing didn't know why Xie Zhao smiled and said nothing last night, then today when he saw Mrs. Hou Qin and his third sister-in-law Li, he knew everything.

As Xie Zhao said, Qin and Li did bring some food, but the portion was very small.

"I wanted to bring you some more, but there are too many rules in this palace, and it is not easy to bring them in."

Qin Shi said in a warm voice, while the third daughter-in-law, Li Shi, opened the food box, brought out all the food inside, and placed it on the table.

"These are the handicrafts of your third sister-in-law and I. Your elder sister-in-law made these two. Originally, your second sister-in-law also wanted to make some food for you, but she is pregnant now, and she really can't smell the smell in the kitchen, so she had to give up." .”

"But she specially made some sachets for you, saying that the weather is getting warmer, and she is afraid that you will be bitten by mosquitoes."

While talking, Qin took out the sachet specially made by his second sister-in-law Fang for Xie Zhao, "The patterns on the sachet are specially chosen for your liking."

Zhao Jing stood aside, looking at the food on the table, and at the sachet handed over by Mrs. Hou Qin, he didn't speak for a while.

"Why do you see that the empress is getting thinner?" There was no one else in the palace, only the four big maids who entered the palace with Xie Zhao. Qin took Zhao Jing's hand and looked at her carefully, his face was full of concern.

"Have you lost weight?" Subconsciously, Zhao Jing stretched out his hand to touch his face, and he turned into Xie Zhao, who could be seen all day long, so naturally he couldn't see any changes.

However, ever since they got married, it seemed that only when Xie Zhao was pregnant did she appear rounder, and her figure has always been slender.

She is a food lover, and she often sees the maids around her cooking it for her in different ways. Now he has some experience, but it seems that he can't get fat no matter what.

In private, he had listened to the two imperial sisters talking about it, and he was very envious.

"It's a little thinner." Third sister-in-law Li also looked at her, echoing her mother-in-law Qin's words.

"Zhao Zhao, are you not used to it when you first entered the palace? Did you not sleep well? Or did you not eat well?" She also asked with concern.

"With her temperament, even if the sky falls, she won't sleep well. I'm afraid that after becoming a queen, there will always be many things to worry about, so it will be easier."

Mrs. Qin stretched out her hand and straightened the hair on the temples for her daughter, "If it wasn't for the marriage granted by the late emperor, even if you are not enjoying the blessings at home right now, you should be able to run freely outside."

"Mother knows that this palace has trapped you. If there is any grievance, you must not hold it in your heart. Even though our family is a courtier, there is absolutely no reason for my daughter to be wronged in vain."
