Because Shen Wen was too tired, she had no special impression of the banquet that night. She only remembered that someone whispered in Chu Xichen's ear during the period. Shen Wen asked casually, and Chu Xichen replied softly with a smile on her lips: "It's nothing, it's just... It's just a great victory for the navy." Shen Huan glanced at him, he said it so easily!
But this victory was just the right time. The Western Kingdom declared a truce. Because they were celebrating the New Year, no one wanted to be affected by the war, so the two countries temporarily paid tribute and retreated their troops. The Western Kingdom began to tighten their naval forces, and the Northern Kingdom also prepared to add more troops to the Western Frontier after the New Year. After sending reinforcements, the Southern Kingdom no longer had any worries, and the country was at peace. Xichen could now freely attack the Western Kingdom.
After returning to the palace, I started to be busy on the first day, and then started to celebrate the New Year. Fortunately, Cui Sanggong was around and kept busy until the end of the year. Then I prepared the New Year etiquette and passed the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the princes and princesses began to enter the palace. Hello, after the third day of the Lunar New Year, I was very busy inside and outside. It was not until after the Lantern Festival that things got better, but I was still busy in the first month. From the first month to February, I was busy with the small election.
It has been three months since Shen Huan had her confinement in November. I don’t know whether it is because of being busy or because she is born this way. Shen Huan’s body recovered very quickly after giving birth. Although she couldn’t tell it in her winter clothes, her face was indeed She lost a lot of weight and was as beautiful as before. However, after being busy for days, Shen Huan felt a little tired and fell ill.
She did not participate in the February election in person. She only handed over her own decree to Cui Shanggong, giving her full authority to handle it. Shen Huan then lay ill in the Chen palace. She said she was sick, but she was just tired. She went to work every day. It's okay to take some tonics. The only bad thing is that it can't let others, especially children, get over the illness, so the children can't be held in front of you.
Cui Shanggong first drew up a list of people who would be released from the palace and showed it to Shen Han. Shen Han took a rough look and said calmly: "You don't have to show it to me. Let Eunuch Shi have a look first. If he wants to change anything, Just let him change it”
Although Cui Shanggong didn't understand why he wanted to be seen by the chief eunuch, he still went to the door as instructed. He met the emperor who came to visit Shen Han. He hurriedly bowed and left. Xichen had already arrived in front of Shen Han.
"Since you are sick, why bother worrying about these things? If you make a decree, someone will naturally follow it." Xichen sat beside the bed and said uneasily.
Shen Huan sat up and said with a smile: "You have to give me a slap in the face. If not, it won't be my fault if something goes wrong in the future."
Xichen stroked her temples and smiled gently: "Don't forget, you are the queen. You can never make mistakes. Even if you make a mistake, no one will say it. The mistake is also the fault of others."
Shen Huan sighed leisurely: "Even if you don't say it on the face, you may know how to arrange it secretly! But..." She smiled again, "Being a queen also has its advantages, right? Have you ever visited Zhao'er? No?"
Xichen nodded and smiled: "I came here after seeing it. This child is well raised. He is chubby and chubby. He can eat and sleep well. He is very good."
Shen Huan picked her nails and said casually: "This is also the credit of the imperial physician. Zhao'er was a premature child with some deficiencies. He followed me all the way and was raised this month. Imperial physician Jiang is Sun Jian's disciple is so weird that he is pretty good! Is he also conditioning your body?"
Xichen said: "Yes, he takes medicine very well, that's why I dare to let him look after Zhao'er. Zhao'er is indeed much better. I will reward him well in the future."
Shen Wen smiled slightly, took a look and said, "Go ahead, don't let me get over my illness."
Instead of leaving, Xichen hugged Shen Han, rubbed her back and said, "What are you and I afraid of? It's just that because of the palace rules, I can't accompany you at night."
Shen Wen chuckled and said: "It's nothing, but you are not allowed to go to Hui'er Lan'er again!"
Xichen coughed lightly and said humbly: "As soon as you come back, I won't find anyone else. I have been sleeping in the palace for the past few days."
Shen Huan muttered: "Come on, I'm just worrying about it in vain... However, in the general election next month, when the emperor meets the new people, I'm afraid he will forget about King Huanhua."
Xichen liked her shy and angry look so much that he couldn't put it down. Cui Shanggong drew up the list again and showed it to Shen Huan.
Shen Huan took a look at it, handed it to Xichen, and said: "Take a look, too. If there is any servant, please keep it as soon as possible. Don't worry about it when I let it out by then."
Xichen took the list and looked at it. Shen Huan looked at his face and said: "Some things are released from the palace when they are old, and some are pardoned even though they are not old enough. They will be chosen immediately as soon as they come. You can do whatever you want." Pick some smart people to come in; secondly, when I return to the palace, I will show you some grace."
Xichen saw that the people on the list were all honest people, and thought that Shen Huan would be a favor, so he nodded and handed it over to Cui Shanggong, and then to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle it as appropriate.
Shen Huan twitched the corners of her mouth. Most of the people on the list who were under age were assigned by Chen Xiurong. If it weren't for Xiao Shizi's cleverness, Shen Huan would not have known that Chen Xiurong had secretly cultivated so many forces! They are found in every palace, and they are those who look honest! Such people are the most inconspicuous, but once used, they are the most reliable
Therefore, Shen Huan had no choice but to kill these people in one fell swoop!
When Chen Xiurong found out, nine out of ten of the forces she had secretly cultivated had been released from the palace, and only twelve out of ten were left! Chen Xiurong was shocked. He really didn't expect the queen to act so quickly and in such a targeted manner. She can't get involved in the Yue Xiao election. In the March election, new people will enter the palace. By then, she and those who have been promoted will be three years older, and they will have to be favored by others!
Only Shen Wen, like a fairy, has never changed in the past few years. She seems to be even more beautiful after giving birth, and her figure is more enchanting than usual!
Chen Xiurong was so angry that he counted the people around him who could be used, and found that Lady Hui could use one or two of them! Since Shen Huan didn't give him a good life, why should he let her be a stable queen? Queen? Third prince? ?Hmph! Since you are blocking my way, don’t blame me...
He told the maid: "I have got two pots of red plums here. Let's invite Madam Hui to come and taste them together."
"yes"
Chen Xiurong walked to the baby room and looked at the second prince who was sleeping soundly in the stroller. He reached out and gently stroked his soft little face, and murmured: "Your Majesty, mother will plan everything for you! Mother has done it. So many things are all for you, the emperor! Mother is not afraid of anything. Mother must make you live a good life. Mother will get rid of the people who stand in your way one by one! The emperor's eldest son is like this, the third prince... The same is true! Since I was able to force Shen Huan to step down from the back seat back then, I am still capable today!"
"Empress, Madam Hui, please see me!"
Chen Xiurong walked out of the baby room and said with a smile: "Pass!"
