Refusing to let love take a back seat, the scumbag emperor actually seeks favor every day

Su Manman didn't have much expectations for things like celebrating her birthday.

This has little to do with Zhao Chengyuan.

It’s just that she left her parents when she was young, and every time this day comes, she misses them especially.

If possible, she would not want to think about it.

But as the queen, her birthday celebration is not just a simple birthday celebration.

It is more related to the etiquette of the royal family. If things go wrong, people inside and outside the palace will talk about it.

In order to avoid the spread of strange rumors, no matter how big the matter is, she will cooperate as long as it is something that cannot be overcome.

Because her birthday was approaching, Zhao Chengyuan had people send some things to her palace from time to time in recent days.

The excuse is: to give her the conditions to dress up properly.

Because she had many jewels and jewelry from her previous palace, except for her phoenix crown and phoenix robe which were things that could not be given as gifts, she gave all the things that could be given as gifts to Zhao Yuxian and had them carried out of the palace.

Although her palace is not empty now, there are not many ornaments that can be used.

As for his attentiveness, Su Manman felt that he was afraid that she would embarrass him.

Qiu Ye, who was helping to receive the gifts, sighed: "Your Majesty has really paid a lot of attention to you lately!"

When Qiu Ye saw how she was treated now and then thought about how she was treated before, there was a huge difference.

Whenever she thought of it, she had to say: What a miserable life the Queen had lived in the past!

Facing Qiu Ye's relieved expression, Su Manman could only say that she was too naive.

Even if this man gave these to her now, he could still take them back at any time if he was unhappy one day.

Nothing in this palace truly belonged to her.

Although she felt nothing about this, she accepted all the gifts the Imperial Household Department sent her every time.

Even if it really doesn't belong to you in the future, it's not bad to own it for a short time now.

What's more, the things that were delivered looked pretty good.

Besides, she didn't take his things for nothing.

She still has to take care of the harem.

Speaking of managing the harem, she remembered a very important arrangement.

She is going to leave the palace now, and someone must take care of her during the days she is away.

If it were before, she wouldn't have to consider this question at all, Li Yuwan was definitely the best choice.

Now she is suffering from a strange disease that makes her unable to see the wind. She stays in her palace, not going out of the main door or the second door.

It would be too much of a bully if she let a sick person help her take charge of the Six Palaces.

Apart from the Empress Dowager Su who had retired long ago, her as the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine Li Yuwan, the people with the highest positions in the palace were Liu Mingyue and Concubine Xi.

Although these two are the best candidates to represent the Six Palaces, there seems to be discord between them.

If these two people have another chance to get together, who knows if they will do something outrageous again.

She didn't want to go back home happily, because she didn't want to come back to clean up the mess in the harem, or to celebrate the seventh or eighth day of the eighth month for some unlucky guy.

It is true that one only regrets not having enough knowledge when one needs it.

Su Manman went through all the concubines in the palace and found that there were quite a few people who could be of use - to be precise, there were people who had a good relationship with her and were worthy of her trust, but there was no one.

If I had known this would happen, I should have spent more time with the concubines in the palace to cultivate some relationships.

Love-brained people are really bad! They only know how to revolve around men.

Such an important thing, but I never thought about it before!

"Ugh--"

Su Manman sighed and shed tears of regret in her heart.

"What's wrong with you, madam? Are you dissatisfied with the things sent by His Majesty?"

When Xiao Xia Zi came back after receiving the gifts, she happened to hear her sigh. Seeing that she was not very interested in the new jewelry, she subconsciously thought that she did not like these things.

Su Manman shook her head and sighed again.

"I am just lamenting that I have been in the palace for many years, but I don't have a concubine who is very close to me."

After she said this, Xiao Xiazi became even more confused.

Your Majesty, you actually want to get close to your Majesty's concubines?

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this.

However, when I think about how she has been indifferent to Zhao Chengyuan recently.

Xiao Xiazi still felt like something was not quite right.

"Empress... Could it be that you are so heartbroken by His Majesty that you suddenly... have some special thoughts about the concubines in the harem?"

Ok?

Under normal circumstances, Su Manman's brain works quite well.

As soon as Xiao Xiazi's words came out of his mouth...

She can understand each word individually, but why is it so difficult to understand when it is put together as a sentence?

"What do you mean by special ideas? They are all women, not a group of strong men with eight-pack abs. What ideas can I have!"

She had no idea what was going on in Xiao Xiazi's mind, nor did she want to understand.

He should say this to Zhao Chengyuan, as they are all his concubines!

Seeing her big reaction, Xiao Xiazi knew that she had said the wrong thing.

Come to think of it, his queen would never show up unless someone from the harem came to cause trouble.

Someone who doesn't even want to play some palace fighting doesn't want to have any chance with that group of people.

"What was your sigh just now, Madam?"

Although Xiao Xiazi didn't spend as much time with her as Qiu Ye, it was not short either.

He could guess most of Su Manman's thoughts.

This one sigh was completely beyond her usual needs and thoughts.

"It's not a big deal."

This was not something that could not be told. Xiao Xiazi was curious, and she didn't want him to think of her in any weird way, so she told him.

After listening to this, Xiao Xiazi realized that she had misunderstood.

Then she must have no close and reliable people - but not necessarily.

With a flash of inspiration, Xiao Xiazi quickly thought of someone.

"What do you think of Concubine Wei, Your Majesty?"

"Princess Wei?"

This person had helped me once, but in terms of their relationship, it was definitely not this good.

Moreover, given Wei Yixiu's current status, even if people are willing to let her be in charge of the harem, no one else would be willing.

"You don't have to take care of it directly. Your Majesty, aren't you worried about Concubine Liu and Concubine Xi being together? Then let Concubine Wei assist."

After giving Xiao Xiazi this reminder, Su Manman, who was still worried about this, suddenly became enlightened.

It’s a very good idea indeed!

In addition, Wei Yipin is on Li Yuwan's team.

Li Yupin is not available, so let her people go. Liu Mingye also has some taboos about what he wants to do.

This way, there will be someone to look after her harem, which can also prevent accidents, killing two birds with one stone!

"Xia Zi, you are such a smart kid! I was so busy sighing that I almost became bald because of this!"

It’s not a big suggestion, but it just happened to solve Su Manman’s confusion, so it deserves praise.
