Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was stunned.

How could there be someone who could react so quickly!?

She stared at General Shen Liang Shen in a daze, completely lost in thought.

"Empress."

Shen Liang didn't notice that someone was staring at him. He brought out a tray with both hands, his face was solemn and expressionless.

"General Shen has worked hard."

Xiao Ruyue laughed indifferently, and indicated for Cai Yin who was just helped up by Lu Yi to do so.

"Thank you, General Shen." When Cai Yin caught it, his hands were trembling.

Shen Liang expressionlessly nodded his head and left. It came and went as fast as it came.

Before Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie could clearly see the person's appearance, he had already disappeared into the light, leaving behind only the figure of her back, which would cause others to daydream.

The peaceful lake in his heart rippled for some reason.

The entire room was silent, and only the sound of Cai Yin putting down her teacup could be heard.

Only after a while did He Xiang regain her senses. She looked vigilantly at the cup of tea on the table in front of Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, her face filled with wariness.

Then, she looked at Cai Yin.

"This girl is too rash, she almost scalded our esteemed mistress." He Xiang's face was full of reproach.

Cai Yin tremblingly knelt down. "Empress, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, it was all this servant's negligence, this servant deserves to die."

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, the servants' lack of manners has frightened you. This was an oversight on your part, I hope you can forgive me." Xiao Ruyue said calmly, unable to make out the meaning behind her words.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang smiled at her, turned her head and gave her a glance. "Don't make such a big fuss.

"But the Empress, she … she … was clearly doing it on purpose."

"Alright. You have no right to speak up in front of the empress. "

He Xiang still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang.

Xiao Ruyue watched quietly, facing Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's gaze, the vermilion lip raised its head slightly, "Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie is so kind, even the servants who made mistakes cannot bear to punish him, it's really rare."

She paused before continuing, "However, a mistake is a mistake. If you have rendered meritorious service then you must be punished. This has always been my rule."

"Empress, don't be angry. It was just a false alarm just now. This concubine is fine. " Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang hurriedly said. She looked serious, but could not fake anything.

"Whatever, since Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang has pleaded for mercy, I will forgive her unintentional mistake this time." Only then did Xiao Ruyue loosen her grip, and after that she glanced at Cai Yin, "Cai Yin, why haven't you thanked Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's great masters before?"

"Yes, this servant thanks Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang for her magnanimity." Cai Yin immediately knelt in front of Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie and seriously kowtowed.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang acknowledged and nodded.

"This time, I will not repeat the same mistake. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson. " Xiao Ruyue said again.

Cai Yin nodded again and again. After being glared at by Yin Lin, she immediately left with the tray.

Huo Xiang was still defending her master from the injustice, but since Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie had already spoken, she couldn't say anything more. She dejectedly stood by Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's side, and lowered her head without uttering a single word.

Xiao Ruyue sipped on her tea, but was not in a hurry to speak.

"Empress, you said just now that you had something you wanted to tell chenqie. What is it?" It was Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang who spoke first.

"It's not like there's any orders. In the recent few days, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang must have also heard of the actions of Beauty Song, Liu Cai and Li Cai. Xiao Ruyue was not one who liked to beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was stunned for a moment before hurriedly standing up. "Chenqie doesn't understand the Empress's meaning very well. Chenqie definitely doesn't have any intention of fighting for the empress's favor!"

He stood up too quickly and almost knocked over the tea cup.

"Don't worry Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang. That's not what I meant. " Xiao Ruyue slowly put down her tea cup and calmly faced Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's gaze. "Sit down.

"Then what does the Empress mean?" Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie sat back down with lingering fear in her heart.

Seeing her master like that, she felt extremely pained, and felt even more resentful towards Xiao Ruyue.

"I'm not afraid of anyone coming out to court you. I would like to remind you that you must not do anything strange because you have been incited to do so. "

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's expression was somewhat surprised, and she was unable to say anything for a moment.

Lotus Fragrance's expression was also a bit strange. Why would the empress say such things to the empress? Where did the singing come from?

"I have finished my private message. The next thing to do is to get down to business. " Xiao Ruyue did not care about what they were thinking in their hearts, and directly instructed Yin Lin, "Go and bring all the papers that the various divisions of the Inner Court have sent over to Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang for inspection."

"Yes." Yin Lin nodded and left.

She returned quickly, returning with a tray full of paper money. Behind her were two young eunuchs, each carrying a tray full of paper money.

"Give it to Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang."

Following Xiao Ruyue's orders, the three trays full of papers were piled in front of Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie.

"What is the Empress doing?" Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was so shocked that she stood up again.

"Don't worry Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, do you think I am trying to deal with you?" Xiao Ruyue could not help but laugh, and almost spurted her tea out.

Even Lu Yi was amused by her fuss and giggled.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was very awkward.

"Sit down. This is a serious matter and cannot be laughed at. " Xiao Ruyue said in all seriousness as she stood up.

He leisurely walked to the side of Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and said, "These are the papers from the various divisions of the inner palace, and they all talk about trivial matters of the imperial harem. Even though His Majesty's harem is not as vast and complicated as it was in the other dynasties, it cannot be sloppy. "

"Empress" Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie cautiously looked at Xiao Ruyue.

She had no idea what the empress was up to, so it would be strange if she wasn't nervous.

As if he didn't see her nervousness, Xiao Ruyue said slowly, "You should have heard about the matters regarding the Imperial Consort Ye. The people outside the palace said that the hysteria in the Imperial Consort Ye was all because of Your Majesty's sole favor for me. They also said that they were afraid that someone else would favor them on the throne because I was jealous, which was why they would enrage a fine Imperial Consort Ye to the point of turning white overnight. "

King Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie: "Empress!"

"Your Majesty is handsome, young and handsome. It is only natural for young women to like him. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is also a member of the imperial harem, so it would not be shameful for your adoration of Her Majesty. "

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's beautiful face turned red, and she did not dare look at her.

"They also said that I was the one who took charge, covering the sky with one hand in the harem. Your Majesty, the wind will blow. Wang should have also heard of these words. " Xiao Ruyue's thoughts leapt, who knew where his next sentence went.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang could not react and could only blankly nod her head.

"The affairs of the harem are numerous. I need a helper. Now, in the imperial harem, excluding Imperial Consort Ye who is recuperating in the glazed pavilion, you are the one with the highest position. "

"Empress's meaning is to have chenqie …" The king's Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie finally came back to her senses, her eyes wide with shock. "How can this be?!"

"There is nothing that I can't do. The matter of the harem is not something that I alone can do." Xiao Ruyue naturally interrupted her doubts.

In the past few days, the affairs of the palace have decreased a lot, and I also have some spare time. Every day, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang would come to invite the Phoenix Palace and familiarize herself with the affairs of the imperial harem.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, staring at Xiao Ruyue in a daze.

Lotus Fragrance's expression became even more wonderful, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

What was the empress doing this for?

He first warned her not to do anything foolish, but now he directly involved the Empress in the affairs of the imperial harem. Just what sort of goal was this?

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, are you afraid that I will take this opportunity to frame you, or are you afraid that I do not even have the ability to assist you in the affairs of the imperial harem?"

Xiao Ruyue looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

"No matter what, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is from a famous family in Shang Shu Manor. As the Minister of Industry and Industry, she is in charge of water projects in this country. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang will never emerge victorious in her early years, nor will she disgrace our sect. "

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang originally wanted to reject, but Xiao Ruyue had already said that, if she rejected again, she would really be ashamed of her family.

She gritted her teeth and kneeled down. "Chenqie, you won't disappoint the empress's expectations."

"Mn, I believe that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang's ability will not disappoint me." Xiao Ruyue nodded in satisfaction and slowly walked back to his seat while holding onto Lu Yi's hand. "I'll take a look at Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang first.

She paused, and then gestured to Yin Lin, and said: "Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, if you think it's hard for me to ask, you can ask Yin Lin. Yin Lin has been in the palace for many years, and her experience is comparable to mine. "

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie nodded.

His hands were covered in sweat, and his back was half wet.

Returning to the Blue palace, the Lotus Fragrance quickly sent the two eunuchs the Empress sent to deliver the paper money back. Wang Mu returned to his room and sat on the edge of his bed as if he was drained of energy, unable to come back to his senses.

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, are you alright?" Lotus was somewhat worried.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang shook her head, and Lotus Fragrance sat down beside her. "Esteemed Empress, what is the Empress trying to do today?"

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie still shook her head.

He Xiang sighed and brought her a cup of tea. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang looked at it and did not move.

After a long while, she finally instructed Huo Xiang, "Send a message out of the palace and ask mother to come to the palace as soon as possible."

Lotus nodded.

At this time, in Phoenix Palace.

After sending off Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, Xiao Ruyue went to the embroidery room. It was a rare occasion for her to be able to relax.

She took off the cover and placed a piece of pure white silk on the embroidery stand.

The threads she chose were also different from the colors she would usually choose when embroidering flowers, birds, and bugs.

"Empress, what would you like to embroider?" Lu Yi curiously stood behind her.

Xiao Ruyue turned around and looked at the huge vase behind him, "Bring the green cloth here."

Lu Yi took it from him as instructed, while Xiao Ruyue took off the green cloth and took out the scroll.

The scroll was spread out on the embroidery stand. It depicted the mountains and rivers.

It was called the Mountain and River Diagram.
