After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

There were many who came to ask for a meeting on the pretext of discussing important matters, which eventually led to the suppression of bandits in Jiangnan, while others openly recommended suitable ministers in the court.

It is easy to deal with if there are girls in the family serving as concubines in the harem. You can let them come to the emperor to test his health under the pretext of caring about his health.

Regardless of the method, their goal is the same, which is to avoid getting involved.

"I've drunk the soup. You're tired today, go back and rest. I'll visit you tonight."

The emperor plucked the strands of hair on her forehead, his tone still gentle.

There was no way he would reveal any information to Xin Jieyu, but considering that she had just massaged his shoulders without saying a word, he was willing to coax her and give her a good look.

But Concubine Xin didn't come here today for this matter.

"I have something else I would like to ask for your permission, Your Majesty."

The emperor's face darkened as he looked at the woman in front of him who could be said to be the most gentle, caring and sensible woman in the entire harem.

“You say.” He clenched his fists, anger rising in his chest, ready to explode at any time.

Xin Jieyu lowered her eyes and said softly, "After the New Year, Yuan'er will be eleven years old. Although he is no longer a child, I think he is too dull and has almost no topics to talk about with his peers.

The study companions that the Emperor personally selected for him all privately said that the Fifth Prince was difficult to get along with.

At this point, she actually shed tears and sobbed, "As a mother, I naturally don't want Yuan'er to develop a lonely personality. I think it's because he has been bored in the palace for a long time, and he is naturally taciturn. So I want to take the fifth prince to Ganlin Temple for half a month to relax. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."

The emperor's rage was extinguished quietly.

Xin Jieyu's eyes were as tender as a pool of autumn water, shining with light, pitiful and charming.

The emperor couldn't bear to refuse her.

"Yuan'er..." He sighed, "Everything has its limits. It's time to change his temper."

Concubine Xin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and was about to kneel down, but the emperor picked her up and held her in his arms to comfort her.

"Among the four brothers, Yuan'er and Yu'er are the closest. It's inevitable that they will learn some of their personalities after spending so much time together. You don't have to worry too much."

Concubine Xin sat on the emperor's lap. Although there was no one else in the hall, she could not suppress the shame in her heart as they sat together in such an ambiguous posture in broad daylight.

"Your Majesty is right." She reluctantly left the emperor's embrace. She also felt that Qin Junyu had something to do with Qin Wenyuan's current personality, but the emperor could say it, but she couldn't.

Fortunately, the emperor finally agreed to let her take Qin Wenyuan to Ganlin Temple.

The emperor continued to read the memorials, and his intention to see her off was obvious, but Concubine Xin had no intention of leaving and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

He put down the letter and glanced at her, "Anything else?"

Concubine Xin said with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty, I have another request."

She had just made one request and now she made another. There was no guarantee that the emperor would not be angry and think that she was pushing her limits.

"Tell me, as long as it's not a big deal, I will do as you say."

The emperor was very satisfied that she was able to stay out of the situation where the candidate for the suppression of bandits in Jiangnan had not yet been determined and the ministers were worried, so he was willing to pamper her.

"Although Ganlin Temple is far away from the secular world and is a good place to cultivate one's character, I am still a layman and cannot reach the realm of transcendence. I am worried that the Fifth Prince will feel lonely with only me as his companion, so I want to..."

"Hmm? What are you thinking about?"

"I want the girl from the Nian family to go with me, so I can have a companion."

The emperor looked puzzled. Concubine Xin had never had any contact with the Nian family, and had only met Nian Susu a few times. If she wanted to find someone to accompany her and relieve her boredom, she should find someone she was familiar with, rather than specifically asking for a girl whose temperament she didn't even understand.

Xin Jieyu explained: "I heard that Miss Nian is an interesting person. Even Yuan'er has mentioned her several times in front of me, so I am curious about what kind of woman she is."

The emperor did not comment, saying that Nian Susu was indeed different from other young ladies from official families.

He tapped the dragon table with his fingertips from time to time, "Since you are in need of companions, just ask a few more people to accompany you. There is no need to ask for directions, just hand over the invitation."

Xin Jieyu happily expressed her gratitude.

After leaving the imperial study, Eunuch Lin was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When he saw her come out, he hurried to greet her, "Your Majesty, is the Emperor still asleep?" He smiled flatteringly.

There have been many concubines here in the past few days, and who didn't come out with red eyes and grievance? But Concubine Xin was smiling happily.

Eunuch Lin couldn't help but be curious about what she had said to the emperor, but as a servant he couldn't ask about his master's affairs, so he had to ask in a roundabout way.

"The emperor has woken up and is reviewing memorials." Concubine Xin smiled and walked downstairs, not intending to chat with him any more.

Eunuch Lin had no choice but to give up.

But judging from the situation, Concubine Xin should not have mentioned anything about Jiangnan. She is a smart person.

Xin Jieyu's father did not hold a high official position and was a loner in the court. He had never formed a clique for personal gain.

Even though she gave birth to the fifth prince, she still served him wholeheartedly and did not take advantage of the emperor's favor and became spoiled. The emperor loved her.

If she were to interfere in state affairs today, her image would be much worse than before.

She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Nian Su Su received a letter from Xuan Ji. On the letter were five words written in neat small characters: Everything is fine, don't worry.

The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Miss, you have to go to the palace for a banquet tonight, do you remember?" Zhihua's voice came from far away, and when it reached the house, she had arrived.

Nian Susu folded the letter calmly and said, "I remember my mother sent some clothes over this morning."

Zhihua pulled her to the dressing table and said, "It's getting late, please get dressed first, miss."

Nian Susu let her dance as she pleased.

By the time everything was ready, night had already fallen.

Nian Susu and Nian Qiaoyue were riding in the same carriage, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was very strange.

Nian Susu didn't want to pay attention to her, but she didn't do what she wanted and took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Sister, I still owe you a thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" she asked warily, thinking to herself: Nian Qiaoyue must be up to some bad idea again.

Nian Qiaoyue chuckled, "Sister, please don't be so defensive against me. If you hadn't advised me that day, Dad wouldn't have agreed to move my mother's tablet into the ancestral hall, so I want to thank you, sister."

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she muttered, "What's the point of thanking you verbally? If you really want to thank me, you might as well give me a few hundred taels of silver."

"What?" Nian Qiaoyue only heard her say "several hundred taels of silver". This astronomical figure frightened her.

"Nothing." Nian Susu said perfunctorily.

Nian Qiaoyue rubbed her handkerchief and glanced at her from time to time. When Nian Susu could no longer bear it and asked her what she wanted to do, she naturally made a request: "Sister, you promised to help me marry Prince Qing last year. Does it still count now?"
