However, Leng Lingzhe shook his head with a smile, "That's not what I said, this Princess Xiliang is precisely because of her noble status, after marrying her, the family is equivalent to a tigress, who dares to take a concubine!" ”

"Moreover, this Xiliang princess and the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom are helping by the side, if it is the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom, the next time you come over, you will see that the princess is not doing well, and the blame will inevitably fall on the head of the prince."

When Zhao Qiujin heard this, he nodded, what the emperor said also made sense, these princes naturally have their own concerns, and they would rather marry the daughter of a minister of a noble family.

In this way, the life in the palace will be easier in the future.

If he marries a princess of Fanbang, in case Leng Yueguo and Xiliang have a war in the future, then he will be caught in the middle, and it is no wonder that no one dares to propose marrying Princess Xiliang.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace holds a feast every year to celebrate this traditional festival, and this year is no exception.

It turned out that Leng Lingzhe was planning to cancel this banquet, because the queen mother was not in the palace, and he didn't have the heart to hold any Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

But now, Zhao Qiujin is back, everything is different, and everything has to be taken care of by the queen.

The palace gradually became lively, and the palace people in various palaces would often come to the queen's bedroom to report to her some relevant matters related to the preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When Zhao Qiujin saw the list of gifts, they all looked scary, and she felt dizzy.

But there is no way, those gift lists must be checked by her personally, and then, she is also responsible for sending the emperor's greetings to every minister's home.

Especially for important courtiers in the court, it is time to express the king's greetings.

Xiao Qi was beside him, watching the queen mother bring over a large stack of gift lists, and check them one by one there, it was almost evening, but the queen mother's lunch had not been eaten yet.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but be a little worried: "Niangniang, otherwise you better eat something first and then get busy, this is too much, otherwise I will go to Fanglan Garden to find a few palace maids to come over and help you." ”

Zhao Qiujin shook her head, this must be checked by her personally, even if a palace maid comes, it will be more troublesome for her to explain one by one, not to mention, those palace maids are busy with their own affairs.

Everyone is doing their job, which is what she should do.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry now, I don't want to eat, you can help me sort that one up next to me first, and see if there are ten pairs of jade Ruyi there."

Xiao Qi had no choice but to nod when he heard this, and counted the number of jade ruyi according to what the queen said.

"Niangniang, there is no problem with the number of jade ruyi."

Okay, you can help me take a look at the night pearls, there seem to be five of them, and see if they are in good condition and packaging. ”

Xiao Qi heard the queen mother say this, nodded, and went to the side to count the night pearls.

Working like this until the evening, Zhao Qiujin was leaning there tiredly, I don't know what happened recently, she had strange insomnia yesterday, she couldn't sleep at night, and she was prone to headaches during the day.

She thought to herself, maybe it was because the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and there were so many things that she couldn't sleep because she was so anxious.

Xiao Qi sighed and helped Niangniang rub her forehead: "Niangniang, let's rest early tonight, don't work too hard." ”

But Zhao Qiujin shook his head, "No need, this palace doesn't have the heart to rest now." ”

She didn't know what was wrong with her coming in, and she seemed to be a little sleepy all day.

"Xiao Qi, go and pour me a cup of tea again, Bengong feels like the whole person is in a mess, and I want to rest a little, but I can't sleep, so I wake up when I lie on the bed."

When Xiao Qi heard this, he looked at the sky outside, it was already late now, and Niangniang hadn't eaten anything for a day, now if she drank some tea, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Niangniang, otherwise, you better eat something first, don't drink tea at this time now, you will have to rest later, you should lose sleep again tonight."

Zhao Qiujin shook her head, reached out and pressed the position of her temple, only to feel a sore head, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and this feeling made her a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Qi also noticed that Niangniang's face was a little not good, could it be that she was sick?

"Niangniang, are you too tired in the past two days and haven't had a good rest, the slave maid will go and invite the imperial doctor to Niangniang now!"

Zhao Qiujin originally wanted to stop Xiao Qi, but after thinking about it, he nodded.

"Okay, you go and invite the imperial doctor over and show it to the palace, the palace is very curious, why can't you sleep lately?"

Zhao Qiujin said, looking tired, leaning there again, squinting his eyes slightly, but he still felt uneasy, and after a while, Xiao Qi brought Imperial Doctor Zhang from the Tai Hospital over.

After the imperial doctor finished checking the pulse of the queen, he shook his head again, "Niangniang, there is no problem with your pulse, it is normal." ”

"But Hongu has been suffering from insomnia lately." Zhao Qiujin sighed helplessly.

"Niangniang, have you been too tired lately, it's time to relax yourself, there's no need to work too hard." When the imperial doctor heard the queen mother say this, he persuaded with a smile.

In fact, there is a queen mother in the harem, and she is still too busy after all, so it is best for the queen to agree to let the emperor take a concubine, of course, he does not dare to tell the queen in this case.

When Zhao Qiujin heard him say this, he had no choice but to nod, and the imperial doctor left a few calming prescriptions, and let Xiao Qi decoct them into traditional Chinese medicine and let the queen take them.

Zhao Qiujin watched the imperial doctor leave, then sat there, sighed, Xiao Qi walked over and closed the door, and went back to the dormitory.

"Niangniang, what are you sighing about, everything is fine!"

However, Zhao Qiujin said, "I'm wondering if it was a wrong decision for me to let the emperor abolish the harem, now that everyone is gone, I am all taking care of the affairs of the harem alone, and the emperor is busy with the affairs of the court all day long, and it is also very hard, I am thinking, if there are more women in the harem, will things be easier to deal with?" ”

When Xiao Qi heard this, he immediately shook his head, of course that's not the case, why would the queen think like this!

"Niangniang, do you think, if there are so many mothers in the harem, when the time comes, those women will be jealous of each other, and there must be a lot of things in the harem, and besides, Niangniang has seen it, which time has any concubine really helped the emperor deal with any problems, and in the end, the matter has not been solved by Niangniang alone?"

Zhao Qiujin nodded, what Xiao Qi said also made sense, even if there were many women in the palace, those women didn't care about it one by one.

In the end, the problem is still left to her to solve alone, but why are you so tired lately?

It's the same work from previous years, but it seems that this has never happened before.

"Isn't my body getting worse every year now?"

"Bah, Niangniang, don't talk nonsense, Niangniang is young, how can her health be bad, the slave maid will go to decoction the medicine left by the imperial doctor for Niangniang, Niangniang will drink the medicine when the time comes, she will definitely have a good rest, and her body will recover well."

Zhao Qiujin nodded and let Xiao Qi go down to decoct the medicine first, but she still felt uneasy.
