==Chapter 50 Maintenance==
The calm lake surface in the Royal Garden looks calm, but at some point, someone throws a huge boulder, breaking the tranquility.
Su Ling had just finished breakfast. Fuying took her mother's arm and said, "The sun is perfect outside, not too hot, and the wind is not blowing. Do you want to go outside for a walk?"
"Okay, I'm so bored just sitting in this room all the time." Su Ling put down the list of maids in her hand and stood up while holding on to the edge of the table.
Fuying was serving tea in the courtyard, and the warm sun was shining on her body, making people close their eyes comfortably.
Fuying squeezed Su Ling's shoulders and said, "I just leave some small things to the Bureau of Shangyi and the Supervisor of Ceremonies. I do everything myself and work hard..."
Su Ling smiled and said: "I'm not a fool, I'm just in charge of a harem, how can I be tired?"
Fuying glanced at her belly and said, "But today is different from the past."
Su Ling said slowly: "Fuying, don't underestimate these trivial matters in the palace. There is a lot to talk about. Most of the people in the Sixth Bureau, First Department and the Supervisor of Ceremonies are those who stayed during the Yongchang period. I looked over. The account books of those years are in a complete mess. There is no reason for the deficit in the inner court, but the old and the new are changing, and it is the time to employ people. I can neither check these old things with great fanfare, nor can I continue to let them do whatever they want."
"If I do more, it will be a slap in the face to them. In the future, they must not cheat in front of me, and do it in disguise."
Fu Ying whispered: "I feel sorry for you when I see your empress working hard..."
Su Ling smiled and said, "I'm tired and I'm taking a lunch break. It's hard work, but it's hard work for Your Majesty. This harem is not as good as the previous dynasty..."
Before the conversation could be finished, Zhang Xi, the young **** of Kunning Palace, stumbled over and said, "My Lady, something happened in Changchun Palace."
"Speak slowly, what's going on?"
Zhang Xi took a long breath and said: "Yesterday, Concubine Xue sent two pots of orchids to Changchun Palace, but for some reason, Concubine Li suddenly got a rash all over her body and her face became swollen."
"Orchid?" Su Ling said: "But because of pollen?"
The little **** shook his head and said: "The imperial doctor said that if it were just an orchid, it would not be like this. I heard that there was amaranth powder in the orchid."
Amaranth powder allergy is similar to pollen allergy, but there is one difference. If the pustules caused by amaranth powder are scratched, they will probably leave scars.
"Is Xue Lanyi crazy?" Su Ling stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to Changchun Palace."
Zhang Xi saw that the Queen was walking very fast and couldn't help but said: "Empress, don't be too hasty, your Majesty may have arrived by now..."
Su Ling paused and said calmly: "I know."
Before entering the Changchun Palace, Su Ling heard the sound of him tempering the ice.
"Who gave you the courage to do this in my harem?"
Xiao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, Xue Lanyi knelt on the ground, and Concubine Li kept her head lowered, her shoulders trembled, and her neck turned red.
"I couldn't stand Concubine Li's provocation, so I thought of warning her, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." Xue Lanyi choked up and said: "I am guilty, let your Majesty punish me."
Xiao Yu lifted up her robe and sat on the chair, sneering: "Provocation? Then tell me how she provoked you!"
Xue Lanyi was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard the emperor's tone, "I dare not hold the stolen goods and complain, I accept my punishment."
Xiao Yu pinched the ring in his hand and was thinking about how to punish him. Li Yuan spoke at this moment: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor just said that the rash on my concubine is not serious and she has not been scratched. It’ll be fine in a while.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at Li Yuan.
To be honest, although this rash is not serious, Concubine Li's icy skin is clear, and the large and small red marks falling on her body are more and more shocking and pitiful.
At this moment, Xiao Yu was extremely lucky that these rashes did not fall on Su Ling.
But on the other hand, while I was happy, I also felt a little bit guilty.
Eunuch Sheng looked at Concubine Xue and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
His Majesty’s biological mother died young, he grew up in a deep palace, and he was not a favored emperor. I have seen these despicable and mean tricks many times. Concubine Xue’s stupidity this time is probably to be completely punished. Your Majesty is tired of it.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yu said with a deep voice: "Concubine Xue is domineering, has no rules, and has bad moral conduct. She should have been deprived of her title, but thinking of her first offense, she was demoted... ”
"Your Majesty!" Su Ling walked over quickly and said politely: "I would like to send you your regards, your Majesty."
Xiao Yu helped her up and said in a gentle tone, "No courtesy."
Since the queen arrived, the palace had obviously become warmer. Su Ling looked into his eyes, frowned slightly, shook her head, and said: "What happened to the harem is because of my dereliction of duty. I hope your majesty will forgive me." ."
Xiao Yu looked at her.
The meaning in Su Ling's eyes is obvious. The Xue family is currently serving the imperial court, so they are punished, and they cannot be punished for Concubine Li.
Xiao Yu changed the topic and said calmly: "Since the queen is here, let the queen make the decision on this matter. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Su Ling said: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
After Xiao Yu left, Su Ling said to Concubine Xue: "Do you know the crime?"
Concubine Xue wiped her face and said, "I know my crime."
Su Ling turned around and said, "Zhang Xi, send Concubine Xue back to Xianfu Palace first." Concubine Xue followed Zhang Xi and left.
Su Ling sat next to Concubine Li, glanced at the rash on her body, and said, "You are indeed wronged this time, but I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, so you can just rest in peace and recover."
Concubine Li whispered: "Your Majesty, you are pregnant with a dragon and heir, and you still have to work hard for the harem. It is my concubine who has caused trouble for you. I am not wronged."
Li Yuan’s voice is indeed pleasant to listen to. She clearly says that she is not aggrieved, but it makes people feel even more aggrieved.
Li Yuan suddenly raised his hand and scratched his heart, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss".
The white shirt was stained with blood.
"Don't grab it with your hands." Su Ling said: "You are all broken..."
Fuying quickly said to the maid of Changchun Palace: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and get the medicine?"
Li Yuan took the medicine jar, raised her eyes and said to Su Ling: "It's unlucky for the empress to see blood, so it's better not to look at it."
Su Ling said: "I'm fine, just apply the medicine cleanly and don't leave any scars."
Li Yuan opened her middle coat, revealing a lake-blue tube top that was half-covered and half-exposed.
Su Ling's eyes followed Li Yuan's movements. She never expected that besides the continuous rash around Li Yuan's collarbone, there would be the same red and purple color as her own.
It has to be said that the traces of the affair on the bed are indeed thought-provoking. Looking at these bruises, it seems that you can see the tall and straight bridge of the nose sinking into the gully of the beauty.
No wonder he would leave government affairs behind to make the decision for Li Yuan today.
Li Yuan bit her lower lip, held back her clothes, and turned sideways.
Su Ling pinched the palm of her hand and said: "You should take good care of your health. I will leave first. If Changchun Palace lacks anything, just find someone to come to Kunning Palace and tell me."
Li Yuan quickly stood up and said, "I thank you, the Queen."
After appeasing Li Yuan, Su Ling went to Xianfu Palace again.
Concubine Xue now realized that she had caused a big disaster. She knelt on the ground and said, "I ask the Queen to punish you."
"You deserve the punishment." Su Ling said: "From now on, you will be in Xianfu Palace copying the palace rules every day and thinking about your mistakes. Without an edict from this palace, you will not leave Xianfu Palace even half a step."
Being banned and copying the palace rules are really handled with care.
Concubine Xue sniffed and said, "I have something to say."
"You said."
"I thought about it, and suddenly realized that Li Yuan did it on purpose. She provoked her first, and then hinted at the flower viewing banquet that I couldn't touch pollen. The purpose was to make His Majesty feel sorry for her. !" Concubine Xue said.
"So?" Su Ling looked at the stubborn person in front of her and sighed, "I ask you, even if she did it on purpose, who sent the orchid? Who planted the amaranth powder? She Why did I choose to provoke you instead of provoking Concubine Liu? If you were calm, what could she do if she plotted against you?"
"Besides, you made her have a rash and couldn't sleep with her, so you are aboveboard?"
Concubine Xue was so angry that her whole face turned red.
"I said this to the empress, and asked her to be careful about her." Concubine Xue said, her eyes red, "She just came with the tribute of Goryeo, how could she be chosen like this? Your Majesty loves her, which of our noble ladies in Zhou Dynasty is not better than her?"
"Yes, she is still singing songs in the Changchun Palace. Who is she singing to?"
Su Ling looked down coldly and said to Concubine Xue: "I know that you rely on your famous family background and look down on Concubine Li, but Xue Lanyi, this is not the Xue family, nor is it the harem of an ordinary family, this is the harem of an emperor. ”
"Goryeo will pay tribute every year, and there is an election every three years. Today there is Concubine Li, and tomorrow there will be others. How long are you going to make trouble? Have you cleared up your identity?"
Su Ling actually didn’t know whether she should tell Xue Lanyi or herself, word by word.
Concubine Xue was startled.
"As long as she does not break the rules of the harem, your Majesty can do whatever you want to pamper her." Su Ling added: "Today is the first and last time that I warn you that the Xue family's achievements cannot be saved. Your second time."
Concubine Xue fell to the ground.
It was night, and the female Shi in charge of holding the lamp in the dormitory bowed down to light the lamp.
Su Ling glanced at her,
This female historian looks inconspicuous, but as long as she explains it once, she can remember it clearly. She does not make mistakes and does not take credit. After observing it for so long, she is cautious.
Su Ling said: "What is your name?"
The female historian said: "My surname is Lu, and I have a single lintel."
Su Ling said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will take over the position of Director of the Lighting Bureau of the Sleeping Bureau."
The female historian paused for a moment and said, "I would like to thank the Queen for her grace."
Nv Shi bowed and stepped back. Immediately afterwards, Su Ling saw the black dragon-patterned robe at the door.
Xiao Yu walked over, sat down and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."
Su Ling said: "Concubine Xue has a domineering temperament and should be properly disciplined. Over at Changchun Palace, I will take good care of her. Your Majesty does not have to worry about the harem."
Xiao Yu looked at her and raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, "I will naturally rest assured that you will be in charge of this harem."
Su Ling smiled and avoided his hand, "I haven't bathed yet."
Xiao Yu also laughed, "Do you want me to help you?"
Su Ling declined politely.
The full moon was hanging high, and the breeze was blowing into the curtains. Xiao Yu hugged her from behind. As soon as the bridge of his nose touched her neck, Su Ling ducked away like a reflex.
Her tone was soft: "Your Majesty, please stop making trouble. I am really tired today."
Xiao Yu said "hmm" without showing any emotion or anger.
Su Ling tossed and turned, until her breathing became evener behind her, and she opened her eyes. Lying side by side with him, she finally understood what it meant to be in the same bed and have different dreams.
Obviously sleeping on the same couch, obviously so close to each other, but things have changed.
Su Ling moved her hands away from her waist and slowly closed her eyes.
Mom silently: Lord and minister, monarch and minister, from now on, you and I will be monarchs and ministers.
Otherwise, I will go crazy.
In the same posture, Qin Juan and the emperor woke up together.
