It has the sweetness of sweet potato candy, which is really good.

Logically speaking, sweet potatoes had not yet been introduced to China during the Song Dynasty, but who cares if this is a fictional world?

Su Qingluo watched Yunzhou eating the candy man with a satisfied look on his face. She suddenly thought that Yunzhou really liked sweets.

It was already late when Yun Zhou returned to the palace. As soon as he got back, he helped Su Qingluo get ready for bed.

Su Qingluo suddenly thought of something: "Move to the room next to my bedroom tomorrow, so that it won't be inconvenient for me to look for you at night."

When Yun Zhou heard her words, his eyes almost glazed over.

It’s inconvenient to look for you at night. What kind of statement is this from the evil landlord?

Can't you get off work properly in the middle of the night?

Su Qingluo looked at her like that, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Why don't you want to?"

"No, I'm happy." Yun Zhou said against his will.

Su Qingluo did not expose her.

After Yun Zhou helped Su Qingluo take off her coat, Su Qingluo went to take a shower. Yun Zhou had not returned yet. He sat in Su Qingluo's bedroom waiting for her to come out. He waited until he was drowsy.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep on my stomach.

I went out all day today and didn't take a lunch break, so I couldn't help feeling sleepy.

When Su Qingluo came out of the shower, she saw Yun Zhou sleeping on the recliner.

She walked over, bent down beside Yunzhou and gently patted her little face.

"Why do you want to sleep here?"

Yun Zhou opened his eyes dazedly and met Su Qingluo's face. He lowered his eyes unconsciously, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw Su Qingluo's slightly open collar.

Her fair cheeks turned red instantly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." She suddenly became much more sober.

Su Qingluo chuckled: "Tonight seems to be a little colder than usual. I just need a warm bed. Go take a shower and wash up."

"There will be an early court tomorrow. If you delay my attendance, you will be guilty of a serious crime."

After putting on the hat, Yunzhou was no longer sleepy and immediately prepared to go back to his room to take a shower.

"It's too slow to go back and forth. Let's take a shower in the bathroom."

Su Qingluo put on a coat, then picked up the book next to her and started reading.

Seeing that she ignored him, Yun Zhou could only obediently follow her instructions and take a bath.

After washing, Su Qingluo asked her to go to bed first.

Yunzhou went to bed hesitantly.

She lay on the inside, not daring to move, the quilt almost suffocated her.

Su Qingluo read for a while and then prepared to go to bed. Yun Zhou saw that she was going to sleep and quickly got up.

"Didn't anyone tell you that if it's a cold winter, the bed should be kept warm all night?"

The cloud boat suddenly stopped there. No one had said anything about it!

Although she knew about it.

but...

Sleeping with Su Qingluo for one night, this...

Inappropriate?

Seeing her like that, Su Qingluo couldn't help but speak again: "Why don't you come out to sleep? Do you think I should sleep on the outside where it's cold?"

Yunzhou:......

She was overthinking it.

Although it is said to be a cold place outside, it is actually not that cold. After all, it has been warmed up by a hot water bottle.

Su Qingluo lay down in the inner room, and Yun Zhou lay down on the outer side.

At first I couldn’t fall asleep because I was nervous, but gradually my breathing became even.

He fell asleep faster than Su Qingluo.

The next day, Yun Zhou woke up and found himself hugging Su Qingluo tightly.

One leg was still on Su Qingluo.

She said that this couldn’t be done!

She just doesn't sleep well!

Yun Zhou tried to run away lightly, but Su Qingluo opened her eyes and grabbed her hand: "How come if you run away first, the evidence will disappear?"

Yunzhou:......

"My Queen, it's not...I..." She wanted to explain, but she really didn't know how to explain, and her face turned red.

"Okay, you sleep really badly."

Yun Zhou fell asleep first last night, and then he kept squeezing closer to her. It wasn't so exaggerated last time, maybe because it wasn't as cold as last night.

Although he asked her to warm the bed, Su Qingluo felt that she was colder than himself.

"Your Majesty, please find someone else next time." Yun Zhou felt that he was really not qualified for this job.

First of all, she couldn't keep her mind clear of all thoughts.

Secondly, she wasn’t warm enough!

Yun Zhou turned her head and met Su Qingluo's eyes. She always felt that Su Qingluo's eyes were a little cold when she looked at her.

"Can't you pay it back? You are the only one who will blame me for delaying my attendance at court."

Yun Zhou quickly got up.

Su Qingluo glanced at her collar, which had two buttons open.

Revealing a piece of fair skin.

But Yun Zhou started shivering with cold as soon as he lifted the quilt a little.

"Cold. Very cold."

“Is it colder today than yesterday?”

"Yeah." Su Qingluo responded lightly and got out of bed calmly.

Yun Zhou also quickly straightened his clothes, and when he saw that his buttons were unbuttoned, he quickly buttoned them up.

After getting dressed and washing up, Yun Zhou followed Su Qingluo out. He was suddenly startled. It was too cold!

"A report was delivered yesterday saying that the second snow has fallen in the north. Fortunately, the food has been delivered. You and Miaomiao both made contributions this time." Su Qingluo said softly.

Yun Zhou was so cold that she didn't want to talk. She was already so cold in Xuandu, she couldn't imagine how cold it would be in the north.

She had only seen friends in the north say on the Internet that the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, but she had never experienced it herself.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. In the end, it is up to you to decide what to do. I am just providing some ideas."

Su Qingluo smiled and said, "Excessive modesty is pride."

Yun Zhou chuckled and said, "Then can your Majesty give me something?"

"Huh? What do you want?" Su Qingluo was quite surprised that she would take the initiative to ask for a reward.

"The other day, I saw that painting you put in your study was quite nice..."

"If you want it, go get it yourself." Su Qingluo said directly.

"Okay, thank you, ma'am."

As Su Qingluo was talking to her, they arrived at the Taiji Hall.

The ministers were already there, and the emperor and Su Qingluo met at the door.

The moment he saw Yun Zhou, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He hadn't seen Yunzhou for a long time. Yunzhou now seemed to be eating better than before, and was rounder, so he naturally looked better.

But after the last warning, and when he turned around and met Su Qingluo's icy eyes, he immediately withdrew his gaze and dared not say anything.

The topic of today's morning court session was still about disaster relief in the north, and everyone praised the Queen Mother for her foresight.

After that, they started talking about Prime Minister Qi's evil intentions.

Lin Quan and Ye Fan stepped out and accused Qi Xiang with strong words.

The whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military.

Lin Quan was from the Dali Temple, and Ye Fan was from the Censorate.

Everyone from both the Censorate and the Dali Temple came forward to request a thorough investigation, and the southern parties also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Qi Taihong was calm.

"I consider myself innocent and am not afraid of investigation. Since you two gentlemen have already reported it, I also request that this matter be thoroughly investigated. Matters concerning the foundation of the country cannot be taken lightly." He spoke with a righteous tone.

After hearing this from behind, Yun Zhou couldn't help but complain in his heart, this old guy is really good at acting.

Before he was caught, no one believed that he was the kind of person who would usurp the throne.

But what is the reality? He has 50,000 private soldiers in the northwest, and has also bribed many local nobles in private, and also raised some private soldiers in these places.

Su Qingluo listened to the two sides arguing for a long time, but Shi Guanchao and General He said nothing.

They are considered to be one of the few neutrals.

Finally, Su Qingluo followed the plan and asked Lin Quan and Ye Fan to continue investigating the matter and make sure to provide more powerful evidence.

Qi Taihong also took the opportunity to request to temporarily resign. Su Qingluo naturally still pretended to trust him and asked him to stay. After all, there was no real evidence at present.

In the end, Qi Taihong looked like he could not refuse and continued to serve as prime minister.

The civil and military officials in the court were clearly divided into happy and worried people. Those in the southern faction were all extremely happy, while those in the northern faction were somewhat worried.

After the court session, Su Qingluo asked someone to call Qi Taihong, General He, and Shi Guanchao to the Hande Hall.

The three were a little surprised when they were summoned.

Shi Guanchao has never participated in party disputes, while General He is a veteran of three dynasties and is highly respected. Qi Taihong is now the prime minister. They are all important officials in the court, but these three people do not have close contacts on a daily basis.

But since the Holy Queen has issued an edict, I still have to go.

Su Qingluo took the emperor with him and invited the three of them into the Hande Hall.

When the three people came in, Su Qingluo smiled and invited them to take a seat.

But they dared not sit down first.

"I wonder if the Holy Queen has any instructions?" Qi Taihong asked first.

"It's just a private matter. Please take a seat first, my three dear ministers." Su Qingluo said with a faint smile.

After hearing this, the three of them had no choice but to sit down. The palace maids and eunuchs came in one after another and started serving the dishes.

After all the dishes were ready, Su Qingluo spoke: "I invited the three of you here today just to ask for a favor."

Su Qingluo reached out to pick up some food. The emperor stood beside her like a decoration and said nothing.

"I wonder what instructions the Holy Queen has?" The three of them had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"As you all know, Miaomiao is almost one year old now. She is precocious and has no one to accompany her in the palace. It just so happens that all three of you have girls of the right age in your families."

Now that she had said this, there was nothing the three of them could not understand.

"Your Majesty, do you want my granddaughter to enter the palace to accompany the young prince?" General He spoke first.

"Yes, you don't need to go to the palace every day, nor do you need to live in the palace."

"When Miaomiao is older and wants to enter the Imperial College, she will naturally need a study companion."

This was not a big deal, and Shi Guanchao and General He agreed quite quickly.

Qi Taihong was still hesitant at first, but when he saw that the other two also agreed, he had no choice but to agree.

When she left the palace, she agreed to send her youngest son to the palace the next day.

After the meal, Yun Zhou personally saw them off.

The emperor naturally left on his own, and Yun Zhou didn't want to see him off.

"Why did Shi Guanchao and General He agree so quickly?" Yun Zhou was still a little puzzled.

Su Qingluo laughed: "Because they have no evil intentions and they want something."

"General He is a veteran of three dynasties, and many of the He family's descendants are stationed at the border. If the little granddaughter of the family can make friends with the eldest princess, she may be able to protect the He family one day in the future."

"As for Shi Guanchao, she has no foundation. I have extended an olive branch to her, and she has no reason to refuse."

"But why doesn't she join the Southern party?"

"Of course, it's because I can't stand it."

Shi Guanchao is the head of the Supervisory Council. To reach this position, he has always relied on imperial power, not political parties.

The late emperor relied heavily on her, and when he died, she had already risen to the position of head of the Supervisory Council.

After that, Su Qingluo came to power and never suppressed her.

"Besides, you said she was dressed as a man, and I am also a woman."

Shi Guanchao only has Su Qingluo as his choice, at least for now.

As for the second male lead, he may have already come into contact with Shi Guanchao, but the Prince of Shun is still just a prince after all, and the layout is not yet perfect.

As long as Shi Guanchao is not stupid, he will not surrender to Prince Shun now.

The next day, Shi Wanyue, He Yuanyao and Qi Linglang entered the palace together.

Wen Zhimiao was still confused when someone came to inform her that her reading partner had arrived.

She went out happily and saw the beautiful girl at first sight.

Shi Wanyue also saw her and Wen Jiuzhao.
