After Wen Zhimiao finished cleaning that day, He Yuanyao and others came over.

She didn't go to the kitchen again, but met Wen Rongxue and Yun Zhou again during lunch.

The two still have a lot of topics to talk about, after all, their interests overlap a lot.

With Wen Rongxue around, Yun Zhou originally thought about not having dinner together first.

But Su Qingluo saw her waiting beside him and said in a cold tone, "Sit down."

Yun Zhou met her eyes with some inquiry.

Su Qingluo slowed down her tone a little: "We are all family, please sit down."

Yun Zhou then sat next to Su Qingluo as usual.

Wen Rongxue watched Su Qingluo pick up some food for Yun Zhou and was somewhat surprised that the relationship between them was so good.

I also thought of how Yunzhou chased out with the food box in the morning, and I always felt that the relationship between the two of them was not like that of a king and his subject.

Wen Zhimiao's attitude towards Yun Zhou was also very different, just like he was treating an old friend, which was very strange.

"Mom, I want to eat that." Wen Zhimiao pointed at the braised pork in front of Su Qingluo.

Su Qingluo also picked it up for her.

Su Qingluo at the dining table didn't seem so out of reach anymore.

Wen Rongxue felt a little torn, but she also felt that Su Qingluo was pretty good like this.

This meal was no different from that of an ordinary family. There were three adults sitting there, as well as Wen Zhimiao's friends.

It was the first time that Wen Jiuzhao met Wen Rongxue. At the first sight of Wen Jiuzhao, Wen Rongxue felt that she looked very much like her mother and father.

There is also a kind of coldness that grows in the deep palace.

But unlike her brother, Wen Jiuzhao did not abandon the brotherhood.

Wen Rongxue left after the meal. Yun Zhou and Wen Jiuzhao personally saw her off.

Before leaving, Wen Rongxue asked Wen Jiuzhao a question: "Even if the world changes its surname, don't you care?"

Wen Jiuzhao just looked at her calmly, and then bowed slightly: "Does Aunt care?"

"Jiu Zhao only knew that Miao Miao treated me like her own sister, and the Holy Queen also treated me well. Jiu Zhao was born in the deep palace, and didn't know what family was until she met Miao Miao."

Wen Rongxue paused, thinking about Wen Jiuzhao's experience, it was normal.

"Aunt, take care on your journey." Wen Jiuzhao said goodbye politely again.

Wen Rongxue didn't ask any more questions, but turned and walked towards the palace gate.

Yun Zhou held Wen Jiuzhao's hand and said, "Jiuzhao, you did a great job last time. Do you need any reward?"

Wen Jiuzhao shook his head gently: "Aunt, no, I also want to do something to help you. Miaomiao can always help Aunt and the Queen, but I can't seem to do anything."

After Yun Zhou brought her in, he looked at her very seriously and said, "Jiuzhao, your task now is to study hard, have fun, and enjoy everything you should enjoy at your age."

"Don't think about doing something for the adults. Miaomiao is different from you, and doing those things won't affect her fun." Yunzhou said to Wen Jiuzhao with a smile.

"She doesn't have study assignments, you do."

Facing Yun Zhou's gentle eyes, Wen Jiuzhao seemed to be convinced and nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand."

"good."

The next two days were particularly peaceful. The palace was bustling with preparations for the banquet. The emperor occasionally conspired with several court officials in the palace, but Su Qingluo didn't pay any attention, as if she knew nothing at all.

Those who were crowned kings were basically descendants of the Wen family, with a few who were crowned kings of different surnames.

Moreover, the title of king does not mean military power. Originally, the founding emperor did not want to confer titles of king, but later he still conferred titles of king on a few people under pressure from court officials.

Later, the tradition of enthroning kings continued.

Now, all together, there are about ten of them.

The main reason is that there have been no emperors in later generations who are particularly talented in governing the country.

On the day when the palace banquet officially began, the morning court also proceeded as normal. At the morning court, Su Qingluo and Wen Huai sat together and listened to the reports of those who were crowned kings.

Wen Rongxue, as Prince Shun's agent, also submitted a report.

Su Qingluo had already heard all of this, and now she was just going through the process again.

Today is also the day to confer official positions on those young scholars who have passed the imperial examination.

Xiao Yuanju stood among the ministers. He originally thought that Su Qingluo would let her join any of the six ministries, but he never expected that Su Qingluo would transfer him out.

This year, all the scholars were transferred out without exception.

The central government is not short of people nowadays, but what it lacks is officials who can be transferred down.

Yun Zhou once proposed to reform the local official selection system, and Su Qingluo also wanted to change it, but it was obviously not the right time yet.

After all, reforming the official system means affecting the interests of many people, which is more difficult for some people to accept than changing the emperor.

After all, the emperor is far away, and many people don’t care about changing the emperor as long as it doesn’t affect their interests. But if it affects their own interests, many people cannot accept it.

Therefore, these things cannot be done until she has complete control over the court.

Whether it was the fact that all people were demoted or that Qi Taihong did not speak up to help him, Xiao Yuanju felt that things seemed different from what he expected.

It doesn’t matter whether he accepts Su Qingluo or not.

The morning court ended successfully and Su Qingluo returned to the palace. Yun Zhou and a few children were waiting for her to have breakfast together.

Yun Zhou specially researched today's breakfast. She had nothing to do these two days, so she had some free time to research some new food.

They are all refreshing and appetizing dishes.

When Wen Zhimiao saw Su Qingluo coming back, he quickly pulled Shi Wanyue to sit in his seat.

Shi Wanyue didn't dare to sit down before Su Qingluo sat down.

She is still not as presumptuous as Wen Zhimiao.

After breakfast, Su Qingluo rarely went to the Hande Palace. Instead, she took Yunzhou to the martial arts training ground on a whim, under the pretext of checking her current martial arts level.

Yun Zhou fought with her with a sad face.

Su Qingluo was so cruel that Yun Zhou felt the spear in Su Qingluo's hand hitting his sword, and his hands were numb.

Yun Zhou was no match for Su Qingluo and gave in after a few moves.

In the end, it was Diabolo who went up to practice with her.

Wen Zhimiao, Shi Wanyue and Wen Jiuzhao sat nearby and watched.

"I want to be as powerful as my mother in the future." Wen Zhimiao's eyes lit up, she thought this was really cool!

Wen Jiuzhao looked at her eating the melon and said, "Miaomiao, practicing martial arts is very tiring."

Normally she finds it tiring to just do a horse stance, yet she actually wants to learn martial arts like the Holy Queen. Although Wen Jiuzhao indulges her, he really doesn't think highly of Wen Zhimiao in this matter.

"It's okay. I can do it." Wen Zhimiao said confidently.

Although Shi Wanyue was somewhat skeptical, she still nodded in agreement with Wen Zhimiao's words: "Well, I believe Miaomiao."

Wen Jiuzhao suddenly remembered what Yun Zhou always said to her: Just spoil her.

At this moment, she understood Yun Zhou's feelings when he said this.
