The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"This old lady has really committed many sins. Rather than being accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, it is better to say that she is hiding away to avoid responsibility, for fear that she will be fooled by her current son and daughter-in-law. Such a person is so hateful and has ruined that woman's life in vain." A hint of anger flashed between Xie Qingzhi's eyebrows.

As Xie Qingzhi finished speaking, a cold male voice came from outside, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Ci'an came in from outside wearing a dragon robe.

Xie Ci'an went to the Hanlin Academy today. It wasn't busy, so Gu Jianchu naturally didn't follow him.

After Xie Ci'an came in, he naturally walked to sit next to Gu Jianchu. Gu Jianchu pushed the peeled pipa in front of Xie Ci'an and said, "My concubine and my elder sister were talking about the former dean of Yunkai Academy, Cen Xiu. Did he handle the emperor's affairs smoothly?"

"It went smoothly." Xie Ci'an didn't want to use his hands, so he just gave a look. Gu Jianchu smiled and picked up a loquat and put it into Xie Ci'an's mouth. He also licked the loquat juice on Gu Jianchu's fingers clean.

An itchy feeling came from the fingertips, and Gu Jianchu withdrew his hand in panic. There were not only the two of them in the hall, but also Xie Qingzhi.

Xie Qingzhi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "The Emperor and the Empress have really said enough. They don't know there are outsiders here. Why don't they restrain themselves a little?"

"Since elder sister knows, why don't you take the initiative to leave?" Xie Ci looked at Xie Qingzhi leisurely.

Xie Qingzhi glared at Xie Ci'an in anger, his fingers clenched into fists under his sleeves. Although he was angry, he couldn't say a word. He turned around and said, "The autumn hunt will start in a few days."

If her elder sister hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten such an important day.

Last year's autumn hunt was cancelled because Xie Ci'an had just ascended the throne and the situation in the court was tense. This year, the situation in the court has stabilized, so the hunt must be held.

When moving to the palace and staying there for a while, you need to pack your clothes, some supplies, and personnel arrangements in advance.

Xie Ci'an did not ask, but looked at Xie Qingzhi leisurely, waiting for Xie Qingzhi's next words.

"Will we still hold the autumn hunting this year? If so, I have to pack my things in advance. Also, shouldn't we let the dean of Yousong Academy go and relax together? After all, he is the one who works for the emperor." Xie Qingzhi said, his eyes dodging.

[Good fellow, this is Xie Qingzhi's ultimate goal.]

[He wanted to keep Jiang Fengmian under his watch. After all, Jiang Fengmian was still very popular.]

Since Jiang Fengmian arrived at Yousong Academy not long ago, many teachers and students have wanted to introduce their sisters to Jiang Fengmian. Even the old man who sweeps the floor wants to introduce his daughter to Jiang Fengmian. After all, Jiang Fengmian is calm, outstanding, and talented. Most importantly, he is handsome, stable, and thoughtful. He knows how to respect others. Word spreads around, and not only the people in the academy, but even some people in the capital have set their sights on Jiang Fengmian, hoping to bring him back as a son-in-law.

[Xie Qingzhi was anxious, fearing that Jiang Fengmian would be snatched away by someone else.]

Xie Qingzhi: ...

Her vision was a little poor before, but now it is much better than before. Others like him, so he is not a bad person. Even the queen has passed her strict selection. The most important thing is that after testing her, Jiang Fengmian's eyes clearly show that he likes her, but he still distances himself from her when he has the chance.

Xie Ci'an played with the sachet on Gu Jianchu's waist. With a slight movement of his fingers, the sachet was completely pulled off. "Of course it must be done. I have already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare it today. All ministers can bring their families with them. If my eldest sister wants to bring Jiang Fengmian, she can just follow the carriage of the empress's mansion. She doesn't need to inform me. However, all matters concerning the academy need to be arranged. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."

Xie Ci'an created an opportunity for Xie Qingzhi, but the two of them couldn't just focus on being intimate and ignore the affairs of the academy.

"I understand." The melon was eaten and the work was done. Xie Qingzhi did not stay here to disturb Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an. She stood up and left Chuigong Hall directly.

After Xie Qingzhi walked away, following Xie Ci'an's look, the palace servants in the room left on their own accord. Cheng Song did not forget to close the door and took Xiao Fuzi with him to guard outside to prevent the tactless minister from coming to disturb the emperor.

Xie Ci'an pulled the belt around Gu Jianchu's waist casually, and then tied the belt around Gu Jianchu's eyes, picked him up, and strode to the dragon bed.

Xie Ci'an tore off her clothes one by one and then threw them on the ground. His thin lips fell on her neck and shoulder, and slowly moved down. Because her eyes were blindfolded, her senses were infinitely magnified. She could feel her body itchy and a fire slowly rising. Because she could not see the light source, she did not feel safe at all. She grabbed Xie Ci'an's arm with her fingers, trying to find a sense of security for herself.

The bed curtains fell, blocking out the spring scenery on the dragon bed. Gu Jianchu tried hard to cling to Xie Ci'an, as if he was holding onto a small boat, floating up and down.

By the time Xie Ci put her down, the sky had gradually darkened.

Xie Ci'an carried her to the ear chamber to soak in the hot spring before letting Cheng Song and the others prepare for the evening.

Under the dim candlelight, Gu Jianchu leaned lazily on the soft pillow. Although her body was still tired, she felt much better after soaking in the hot spring. At least some parts of her body didn't hurt so much anymore. However, her waist was still a little sore, and Xie Ci'an was massaging it for her from time to time.

"Which concubines does the Emperor want to take with him on the Autumn Hunt?" Gu Jianchu asked, looking up.

There are still a few concubines left in the palace, but the Queen favors only the Peony Palace. Those concubines cannot even see the Emperor. Knowing the Emperor's temper, and their status and background are not strong enough, they naturally dare not take the initiative to approach the Emperor. They can only get together in the deep palace to play cards to kill time.

Xie Ci'an applied a little force to his hands, and Gu Jianchu couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Don't you know, Ah Chu, that you are enough for me? Why would I take so many concubines out? Besides, I don't even remember how many concubines I have in my harem. They were all stuffed in by those old guys to monitor me. They didn't think more about their own daughters and sisters."

Ever since she moved to Chuigong Palace, the concubines naturally did not dare to come and pay their respects, so she was not familiar with how many concubines there were in the emperor's harem.

Of course, she would not be so saintly as to ask the emperor to favor them or release them from the palace. Their current life was good enough and there was no need to make a fuss.

Xie Ci'an quickly understood what the Queen meant, "If Ah Chu wants to bring Concubine Wen, then bring her along. Just think of her as a companion to relieve your boredom."
