Although it is a consideration, in fact, the emperor and the queen mother know that there is no better choice except for Shen Tingnian to take on it himself.

Shen Tingnian was worried about this problem after the queen mother fell ill, and all departments and bureaus in the palace had stewards, and it stands to reason that the queen didn't work hard, but at least she put her mind on this all day, and she had nothing else to do, so she was more idle than Shen Tingnian.

But if Shen Tingnian takes over the power of the assistant sixth palace, she will face a big problem, she has no one to use, a heartfelt capable person, worthy of her arms, Yan Xitang has a total of just a few people, Suoqiao and Yuezhu have to be in charge of her daily life, Brother Zhan is taken care of by the nurse and Youchun, who was recently chartered by Shen Tingnian to take care of him, and the rest of the maids and lieutenants are all not upset, one command and one action, and there is also no threat.

However, there has been a lack of talent in the palace over the years, not only is there no one under her, but the queen is also relying on herself and the two maids who were brought into the palace to marry with the help of her, and even the queen mother has only one Mama Qi, otherwise she will not be overworked.

Conversely, if you don't answer, more problems will follow......

When the emperor came over at night, he rarely found Shen Tingnian sitting in front of the window, Brother Zhan on the rocking bed next to him playing with a stick, and the sound was loud, he approached, signaled Yuezhu who was guarding the side to step down, and then sat on the small wooden pier by himself, and looked at Brother Zhan in the shaking bed, the two looked at each other, one grinned and smirked, and the other hooked his lips silently.

Shen Tingnian didn't hear the rattling of the stick, so he turned his head sideways to see that the sunlight shining obliquely from the window was just above the heads of the father and son, adding a sense of warmth and reflecting it in her smiling eyes.

"If you can trust the queen, let her be in charge."

When Pu Yangxu heard this, he was a little surprised, and he asked rhetorically: "So unwilling to be in power?" ”

He even wanted to know what was important in Shen Tingnian's mind?

Shen Tingnian seemed to understand the content of his slander at the moment, restrained the smile on his face, and looked at him intently, which was heavy that he couldn't understand, but her tone was normal: "I have never liked rights." ”

If she had someone under her, she might have tried her best to take over, but she didn't...... The person who used to have it, it is difficult to get it back if it is lost, and it is more risky to rashly appoint an unfamiliar person, and Hu Yuchun's character determines her fate, embarrassed by the big responsibility, and reluctantly doing it will be half the result, it is better to sell the queen's favor and let her be in charge of the harem alone.

"Every year, can you tell me why you have to study medicine? It is not easy to learn well at your current age, and medical skills are the most difficult of all skills," Pu Yangxu was really puzzled for a long time, "It is not just hard work to succeed, you must have a very talent." ”

Of course, Pu Yangxu's mouth is very talented, in fact, ordinary people only need to have one or two points to become a well-known doctor, and the height of the station is different, and the bottom line is naturally different.

But Shen Tingnian couldn't answer his question, she lowered her eyes silently to look at Brother Zhan, who began to shake the stick in her hand again.

There was a brief silence.

Pu Yangxu sighed, there is always a lack of honesty between them, it may be that they have not been able to know everything from the beginning, but they have retained three points and seven points of temptation, so that until now, it is still difficult to break through this barrier.

"I know it's hard, but I'm willing to work hard...... Bit by bit. Shen Tingnian finally opened his mouth to explain a few more words, "And haven't you always been very jealous of the Tai Hospital, and you are always suspicious of the imperial doctor, if I can learn something-"

He may not be helpless and wait for the destiny of heaven one day.

"I really can't help you." Pu Yangxu shook his head, "We're all fine, why do you want to make such precautions...... That's it, I will never stop you from doing what you want to do, no matter what others say, I will always be on your side. ”

The tone was not helpless in the end, it was blind pampering, Shen Tingnian's heart was sour and sweet when he heard it, he lowered his head and smiled silently, but he almost cried after laughing.

As time went on, everything seemed to be much better than she thought, so good that she was always afraid, always afraid...... I was so afraid that I couldn't wait to grow old overnight, so I turned white with him.

From the end of the second year of Jianyuan to the beginning of the spring of the third year of Jianyuan, three princesses were married out of the palace one after another, from the eldest princess Qifang to the youngest princess Zhaozhao, and the vassal kings also left Beijing one after another to go to the fiefdom.

At this point, most of the emperor's peers are married, and the people in the palace are scattered, and the population in the palace has entered the lowest number in history, counting them on their fingers, and canonizing the registered concubines, the queen, Xi Guifei, Jing Fei, Hu Concubine, Chen Concubine, Wang Concubine, Wu Jieyu, He Guiren...... There are a total of thirteen people, and only three of them have been favored by the emperor, if you add the queen mother and several concubines with titles in Ci'an Palace, the number has only reached twenty-nine.

That is to say, the huge palace plus the most honorable emperor, that is, thirty masters, and then there are official officials and female histories, this number is really quite low, because of the implementation of the new policy, the number of officials in the court is also much streamlined, and the number of local officials is also strictly limited, people with a heart naturally can't turn over the waves, at least now they are maintaining a superficial peace, and even Wu Jieyu began to slack off, playing horse hanging with the maids around her all day long to pass the time.

There are also most honest and honest officials in the court, and most of them are hard-working and diligent people, and they are so harmonious inside and outside, which really makes the emperor feel comfortable.

The Great Zhou Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous year, the beggars and scoundrels on the streets of the capital are much less, everything has rules, the days are rushing, the storyteller in the wine shop and teahouse began to sing praises to the emperor in his spare time, and the people are also happy to listen to it, and they are happy to follow the praise.

This storyteller also knows that everyone loves to listen to gossip, and occasionally talks about the emperor's phoenix rhyme, and he must not mention that he is young and proudly competing with his uncle for women, of course, the most mentioned is naturally Sheng Chongxi Guifei.

"Speaking of this Xi Guifei, she is a stunning beauty, with a beard like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow; Forced to notice it, the scorching Furu came out of the waves......"

......Pu Yangxu, who was in the elegant seat on the second floor, couldn't help but almost choked on the tea, and Jiang Ke, who was sitting opposite him, was honored to bathe in a fragrant tea, which was the kind of choking incense.

"The emperor has to be considerate of the people's feelings, and he doesn't need to give Weichen such treatment." Jiang Ke felt very sorry for his newly cut robe, and when he turned around, his wife saw the tea stain on the neckline, and he couldn't help but scold.

Hey, it's another difficult day.

"Where did you read this book, and it doesn't matter if I blow it to the sky and the earth and can do anything, this boasting ......" Pu Yangxu paused delicately before changing his words, "The words of the concubine are completely copied from a goddess in the old dynasty, and it is really too distracting." ”

If you want to praise, you can praise well, but you are so poor?

"Your Majesty, please be calm, this is not Mr. Storyteller's problem."

Jiang Ke poured him a cup of tea again, and then talked about it.

The storytelling industry has been sluggish, there are few people who can write and speak, and people who are a little famous have saved enough money after two years, so what is it bad to do if you change careers? You have to spend money every day, there is still a risk of being beaten, it is not good to say that it is light to be beaten, and some uncles spend money to spit on your face.

There are even some who don't spend a penny, only order a bowl of herbal tea in the teahouse, and pick and choose to smash your field.

After a little explanation, a new topic was changed at the bottom, but it was about this year's spring exam.

"You guests have heard that several major opera gardens in the capital have recently sung an old play." The storyteller patted the wood awake, and the tone was pinched to the end, and the audience's appetite was adjusted to the maximum, before revealing the answer, "It's called 'Hui Yuan Lang'." ”

###

The emperor went out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, in Shen Tingnian's ears, this person was empty and slipped out of the palace, but she was trapped by Brother Zhan and couldn't get out of the door, Brother Zhan, who will be one year old in another month, likes to crawl all over the ground, sometimes if you are not careful, you can climb from the inner room to the outer courtyard, and you can't prevent it.

It was clear that he didn't dare to get up and walk, but he crawled fast on all fours, and Shen Tingnian was so tired that he was panting when he caught up.

"Niangniang, Gonggong Chen replied that the emperor left the palace directly after the early dynasty, and the dragon robes were all changed in the side hall of the vertical arch hall and asked someone to send them back."

Xiao Youchun came in to feed Brother Zhan water, this guy has good energy and likes to move, so he has to feed him water from time to time, holding Brother Zhan'er's small chin, she added after she finished speaking, "I didn't even bring Qian Tian with me, I just heard that Lord Jiang seems to be following a ......."

"It's that Qiu Yu, the housekeeper, disappeared early in the morning, thinking that he went out of the palace first...... "It's possible for anyone not to follow the emperor, but this person is equivalent to the emperor's shadow."

Shen Tingnian turned a page of the medical scriptures and hummed casually, what she likes more about Xiao Youchun is that this person is worthy of being born in female history, and his memory is super good, he can remember anything, and he can speculate about some things, and he may be able to achieve something in time.

After waiting for Brother Zhan, who had been fed with water, he crawled around Shen Tingnian again, and Suoqiao, who went out to prepare lunch, hurriedly came back, and she opened the curtain without any scruples and said loudly: "Niangniang, it's not good." ”

Shen Tingnian, who had just spread out the paper and was about to write, paused, the ink spots condensed on the table, and she sighed slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

It can be said that since the Queen Mother closed the palace to recuperate, there have been some trivial things around Yan Xitang, sometimes it is that someone has moved to eat, sometimes it is some strange noises heard at night, and sometimes it is Shen Tingnian himself who has some chaotic dreams, and then after a check, he found that there are conflicting things in the medicinal materials placed in the daytime, and after smelling it for a long time, it will disturb people's minds and cause some hysterical dreams.
