Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

After Xiao Mo got the tiger talisman, he immediately called his confidants to the imperial study to discuss matters. He had a lot of things to do with the tiger talisman in his hand. Even General Ding from the South Camp received the news and hurried into the palace.

The military layout of the Tianqin State is likely to be reshuffled. Some people will be reused, while some will have their military power confiscated.

After a busy morning, Ye Jintang felt exhausted and wanted to clear her mind.

Before she even sat down to have a sip of tea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought her the regulations regarding the ceremony of conferring the empress to review.

Ye Jintang took a quick look and saw that there were so many complicated ceremonies that she had to be busy from before dawn until the end of the dinner.

She had to wear the queen's court dress throughout the whole day.

The Queen's court dress weighed more than 30 kilograms, and with the pure gold crown, the entire outfit weighed almost 40 kilograms.

He had to carry 40 kilograms and walk around the palace all day long, and also participate in two sacrificial activities, one of which was to kneel down and worship the ancestors of the Qin State.

She couldn't even imagine how exciting it would be to kneel down and worship while carrying a 40-pound sandbag.

She estimated that by the time the dinner was over, even a body of steel would be exhausted.

Ye Jintang didn't want to waste her time like this, so she picked up the brush and started to change some details.

Activities like accepting the worship of all officials and offering sacrifices to heaven cannot be changed, but accepting congratulations from concubines and kneeling by court ladies can be greatly streamlined.

This free time allows her to rest for a while.

One after another, activities that looked like they were tiring were crossed out.

However, Ye Jintang did not just delete but add. Instead of congratulations from the concubines in the harem, she added one where all the people came to pay homage to her.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, she would stand on the altar to accept congratulations from the people, and would also give some reward money to the people who came to congratulate her.

Xiao Mo was going to hold a grand ceremony to crown her as the queen, so he would make her do it to death.

After accepting the worship of all the people, she will sit on the queen's sedan chair and take a lively tour around the capital to let everyone know that she, Ye Jintang, is the current queen and no one can shake her position.

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw that Ye Jintang was writing and drawing, and the original regulations no longer looked like what they used to be.

He secretly wiped his sweat in his heart, not knowing how Queen Ye would arrange the ceremony of coronation, but it looked like it would definitely not be simple.

Ye Jintang discussed the details of the empress's coronation ceremony with the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time. At the same time, she finally realized that every time the emperor and the empress traveled, they spent a lot of money.

The one she added, which required riding in a chariot and circling the capital, would cost her an additional 3 taels of silver.

"It's okay. I can still afford 3 taels of silver."

"Yes."

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were wondering how much silver the emperor had in his secret treasury that he could easily take out 3 taels?

As the ceremony of crowning the queen neared noon, things began to get more or less clear. Ye Jintang rubbed his sore waist and leaned back on the soft pillow to rest.

When she was discussing matters with the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now, she was sitting on a wooden chair. Although there was a soft cotton pad on the chair, she had been sitting there for more than an hour and she felt as if her waist was no longer her own.

"I just came back to the palace and I'm already so tired. How am I going to live in the future? It seems I need to select a few female officials to help me with things."

"Let your servant rub it for you, Madam."

Luzhu was very considerate and came forward to rub Ye Jintang's waist.

Ye Jintang suddenly looked at Lu Zhu and asked, "Lu Zhu, do you want to be my female official?"

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. I know my own weight. I am not fit to be a court lady."

Lu Zhu is not that cunning, and she doesn't like intrigues. As long as she can serve Ye Jintang peacefully, it is enough for her.

"Well, then you can be a maid by my side. After two years, I will help you find a husband and marry you off in style. That will then fulfill one of my wishes."

"Miss."

Luzhu's cheeks turned slightly red when Ye Jintang said that. She had never thought about getting married.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Ye Jintang smiled and changed the subject.

"Why didn't I see Ping Ping and An An the whole morning? Usually they would always run to my side, but why were they so quiet today?"

"The eldest prince and princess found a litter of kittens in the corner of the garden early this morning. They are now circling around the kittens. They will not come to the queen to make trouble in the short term."

"No wonder, both little guys love small animals very much."

Ye Jintang and Luzhu talked for a while. Perhaps because Luzhu's massage technique was too good, Ye Jintang fell asleep in a daze without knowing when.

Xiao Mo came back from the imperial study and saw Ye Jintang sleeping as soon as he entered the inner hall.

He didn't wake her up, but instead took a book, tiptoed over to her and sat down to read.

Summer comes relatively early in Beijing and it is already quite hot in May. Ye Jintang felt as if he was hugging a big stove in his sleep and was woken up by the heat after sleeping for a while.

"When did the emperor come back? Why didn't he wake me up?"

"Sleep a little longer. You got up early today."

Xiao Mo gently helped Ye Jintang tidy up her messy hair.

"Won't sleep anymore."

Ye Jintang got up and washed up, then listened to Xiao Mo telling her the details of the discussion in the imperial study.

"Jintang, why don't you come with me to the morning court tomorrow? That way I won't have to go through all the trouble of going through the court again."

Ye Jintang smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes.

"The emperor wants to hold a grand ceremony to crown me as the queen, and he needs to use his own private treasury. If you let me go to court with you, I'm afraid someone will crash into the dragon pillar and die."

As soon as Xiao Mo heard Ye Jintang call herself a concubine in private, he knew that Ye Jintang would probably be unhappy.

"I'm not afraid of the ministers in the court arguing with me. If I have that time, I might as well come back and spend more time with you and the children."

"As for attending the morning court with me, I have already thought it over carefully."

Xiao Mo stepped forward and held Ye Jintang's hand tightly. "Jintang, you are a talented person. I am very relieved to ask you to help me handle the government affairs."

"Really? You're not thinking about my money, are you?"

Others may not know, but Xiao Mo could probably guess that Ye Jintang probably had several mountains of gold and silver in his hands.

"How could that be? Your private vault is your private vault, and my private vault is also your private vault."

Xiao Mo chuckled, leaned close to Ye Jintang's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't even mention the private vault. I can even give you this kingdom directly."

"Don't come on, what do I need you for? I don't want to get up before dawn every day to attend the morning court, but I can go over and listen to the discussions in the imperial study."

Ye Jintang is not a fool. If she goes to court with Xiao Mo now, the ministers in the court will probably go crazy.

The current situation was already unstable, so why should she stir up trouble? Instead of causing trouble for herself, it would be better for her to use a roundabout tactic. It would be more acceptable for her to go to the imperial study to discuss matters than to go directly to the morning court.

"Okay, then it's settled. You will come with me to the Imperial Study to discuss matters tomorrow morning."
