In the Blue Bird Kingdom, the king does not hold court every day, but only once every five days.

If we count the monarchs throughout history, there are many diligent monarchs who work hard to govern the country. Some monarchs are good at governing for three days, while others are good at governing for only a few days.

The old monarch was one who rose once every three days, and Chen Jia thought that she would continue this fine tradition.

But the next day, Eunuch Lu informed him that the Regent had sent him a message - the court session would be changed to once every five days.

Well, in the current situation, she has no say in three days or five days.

As for the location of court sessions, it was in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Qianyuan Hall is a place for grand celebrations and banquets.

During the morning court session, ministers had to get up in the middle of the night and travel across half of Kyoto to the main gate of the palace.

At five o'clock in the morning, the minister arrived and waited outside the main gate.

When the drum on the main gate tower was beaten, the ministers had to line up; at around seven in the morning, when the bell rang, the palace gate would open.

All officials entered one by one, crossed the white jade bridge and lined up in the square.

If any official coughed, spat, or walked unsteadily, his/her record would be recorded by the censor in charge of inspection and he/she would be subject to further punishment.

Usually, when the monarch visited the Xuanzheng Hall, all officials would kneel once and kowtow three times.

Only officials of the fourth rank and above have the opportunity to talk with the monarch. Ministers report government affairs to the monarch, and the monarch asks questions or gives responses.

Normally the morning service would not last long, usually ending around nine in the morning, and no later than ten.

In the past, after the morning court session, the monarch would rush to the imperial study to deal with the memorials submitted every day.

Now, it is handled by the Regent.

The memorials he had processed were neatly arranged. Chen Jia could look through them, but could not make any changes.

When Eunuch Lu mentioned this, he swallowed nervously, fearing that the lady would get angry. However, the lady looked calm and waved her hand to signal him to continue.

Lu Gonggong calmed down and continued to instill common sense.

Just because someone was handling the memorial didn't mean Chen Jia had nothing to do.

On the contrary, her daily schedule is packed!

Originally, as a crown prince, he should be proficient in the six arts, and have a broad knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the mind of the emperor. He should also be able to follow the monarch and learn from him, and get involved in serious matters.

However, the process of Princess Qingjia becoming Queen Qingjia greatly compressed the training process in between.

Those political tactics that were forcefully instilled in her were simply stuffed into her head without her fully understanding them.

The Regent probably guessed this and did not let the queen take over the tedious government affairs immediately.

Regardless of her purpose, Queen Qingjia is not yet stable and mature enough at the moment to handle political affairs with ease.

It can be said that the two sides coincide with each other.

Even though she didn't have to attend court, Chen Jia was always called upon to get out of her soft bed at five o'clock every day.

After breakfast, the instructors arranged by the Regent took turns to yell at her, regardless of whether she had eaten enough or not.

Study in the morning and finish homework in the afternoon.

Only the time after dinner belongs to her.

Chen Jia liked to take a stroll in the Imperial Garden. Under the lush big tree, there was a swing frame, which was specially built by the old monarch for the childhood Princess Qingjia.

Occasionally, when Chen Jia was in the mood, she would step on it and swing back and forth a few times.

Don't be addicted. It will take at most a quarter of an hour, or Eunuch Lu will come forward to remind you.

Chen Jia didn't get angry and came down obediently.

Eunuch Lu felt very guilty after seeing this. The lady was still a child who loved to laugh and make noises!

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

As soon as it gets dark, Chen Jia can go to bed after washing up.

She did not allow anyone to serve her, so the palace servants could only arrange shifts and take turns to stand guard outside the palace.

At this time, Chen Jia, who was pretending to sleep, still did not open his eyes, and quietly practiced the [Tao gives birth to all things] heart formula.

You can clearly feel a thin warm current flowing through every part of your body.

At first, the heat flow is so slight that it is barely noticeable.

As the number of cycles increases, the feeling of heat flow becomes increasingly obvious.

Chen Jia even broke out in a sweat. The feeling was so comfortable that she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

Even if she gets up very early the next day, she won't feel like she didn't get enough sleep. On the contrary, she still feels very energetic.

Chunlu and others originally thought that the lady was just forcing herself to get up early, because she had never gotten up so early before.

To be disrespectful, I stay in bed more often than I get up on time.

But Chunlu saw that His Majesty got up on time every day, his little face was rosy and shiny, and he was full of energy, so her worries disappeared.

It seems that people are in high spirits when they are happy, and Your Majesty is more dedicated to his career than sleeping in.

The palace maids who served closely were still very pleased.

The various types of clothing, including seasonal daily wear, court dress, formal wear, etc., including matching accessories and shoes, were hastily made by the Imperial Wardrobe and sent to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in a steady stream.

Although His Majesty has four attendants, there is a clear division of labor among them.

Dongzhi was busy storing clothes, and she was responsible for the clothes and jewelry of the lady; Chunlu was responsible for the warehouse keys and financial matters; Xia Li was responsible for dressing up; Qiu Nong was good at medicine, and everything presented to the lady had to be inspected by her before being presented to her.

"Your Majesty's hair is really as black as ink!" Before going to court, Xia Li combed the queen's hair with an ivory jade comb. The black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making the four attendants' eyes sparkle.

As a woman, I envy your Majesty's hair volume and quality.

Your Majesty obviously doesn't take any special care of himself, but this black hair is really beautiful!

Chunlu and others couldn't figure out the reason. They could only attribute it to His Majesty's natural beauty.

Xia Li was very skilled and she was able to tie the hair into a bun in just a few seconds.

Put on the crown and court robes.

Chen Jia, led by a group of palace maids, set out towards the Xuanzheng Hall in a mighty procession.

Fortunately, she was the monarch and was able to ride in the sedan chair reserved for the monarch. Otherwise, she would have suffered a lot wearing heavy clothes while traveling from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Hall of Xuanzheng.

The Xuanzheng Hall was not as big as the Qianyuan Hall, and officials were divided into four rows and stood in the hall.

There are two rows on each side, with a wide aisle in the middle.

Chen Jia sat upright on a high platform, with an exquisite screen behind him and a palace maid standing on each side.

"Long live the emperor!" All the officials saluted and shouted. When they stood up again, they all held the boards in their hands and looked straight ahead.

Eunuch Lu shook his whisk like a real gentleman and said in a clear voice: "If you have something to say, please get up and report it. If you don't, please leave the court."

The Minister of Rites stepped out from the queue and said, "I have something to report!"

I thought Chunchun was just going through the motions today, but I didn't expect something to happen on the first day of court!

Chen Jia became interested and prepared to listen to what the Minister of Rites had to say.

The Minister of Rites held his head high and bowed, his eyes burning. "When the late emperor was alive, he always ruled the country with filial piety. Now, it has not been long since the late emperor passed away, so it is not appropriate to hold a general election. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Oh no, this person is here to cause trouble!

Chen Jia understood that the Minister of Rites belonged to the Regent's faction.

The queen was still young and inexperienced, having ascended the throne at a young age, and was not strong enough to compete with the regent.

If one wants to develop one's own power, marriage with a powerful minister in the court becomes the best option.

Now, the Regent obviously wants to cut off the thoughts of some ministers in the court, which is also the plan of Queen Qingjia.

Many ministers secretly gasped and silently used their peripheral vision to whip the corpse of a person who stood calmly a thousand times.

This is not only to stop the queen, but also a warning to those ministers who are secretly selecting people!

It depends on how the lady responds.
