Chapter 437 The Emperor Reads My Heart 7
The emperor quickly shook his head and pushed all the banknotes back: "No, no! These are clearly earned by the queen with her wisdom. How can I have the face to take them? These are all the queen's."

Ning Yan was happy. She hugged the emperor and kissed him on the forehead. "Your Majesty is so nice. I love you so much! Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's go to bed."

emperor:……

The emperor picked up the queen and put her on the bed.

……

The next day, all the ministers' daughters entered the palace.

The positions were all given by Ning Yan, they were all concubines, and the highest was a seventh-rank Baolin.

Moreover, she let several of these new concubines live in one palace, and then the fun began.

These people would quarrel at any time, and when they quarreled, they would ask the queen to judge the case.

Ning Yan: Am I an easy-going person?
Of course she was gone.

The messenger Hong Tao began to tell the concubines: How can we meet without a gift? And whether you are right or wrong depends on whether you are polite or not.

The concubines in the palace understood clearly: the queen was greedy for money.

Then give a gift!

Before entering the palace, in order to gain favor in the palace, their families prepared the best dowries for them, and they had plenty of good things.

Then Red Heart began to receive gifts.

For a while, Ning Yan got a lot of good things.

But the concubines soon realized that no matter how much they played, it would be useless if the emperor didn't favor them.
So the emperor became busy.

"Eunuch Fusheng, I am the Wu Cairen from Xingyuan Palace. This is the ginseng chicken soup I made myself. Please inform the eunuch."

Fu Sheng went into the palace to report.

The emperor had long known his plan from the queen's thoughts, so he was not angry at all about what happened today and gave some instructions.

Fusheng walked out happily.

His face was stern, without a trace of smile.

"My dear, please go back. Because I reported this to you, the emperor gave me a lecture. You really did me a great disservice."

Wu Cairen's face turned pale. If she offended the eunuch in front of the emperor, would she be able to see the emperor again in the future?
She quickly took off a jade bracelet and stuffed it into Fusheng's hand, smiling and coaxing him, "Don't be upset, sir. It's my fault. Please accept this bracelet."

Fusheng's expression relaxed then, and he accepted the jade bracelet calmly. The things these young ladies wore on their heads and on their bodies were all exquisite, and a jade bracelet alone was worth at least a thousand taels. He secretly said to them that they should be sensible.

"My lady, please go back first. I understand your thoughts. However, the emperor is obviously in a bad mood today. My lady, please come back another day."

Please bring more gifts when you come.

Wu Cairen left reluctantly, and just as he turned around, Fusheng stopped him again, "Young Master, please don't leave the soup. When the emperor is tired, we will serve him chicken soup. Maybe if the emperor is happy..."

Wu Cairen was delighted and quickly gave the food box to Fusheng. She also stuffed a red envelope into Fusheng's hand, thanked him profusely, and then left with the palace maid.

After she left, Fusheng entered the palace with the soup. The emperor, without even looking up, ordered, "Drink it. Next time a concubine comes to give you something, follow this procedure."

Fusheng thanked for the reward happily and went downstairs to drink the soup.

In the following month, the emperor received a lot of good things, and Fusheng's booklet was almost full.

Occasionally, the emperor would let those concubines who had been bribed by money to stay in the palace for a while. However, they were always invited to the side hall, but the emperor accepted the food they brought (and gave it to the eunuchs around him).
As the competition among the concubines in the palace became more and more intense, the gifts became bigger and bigger.

The previous dynasty also encountered a major earthquake. The dowries of concubines had to be registered when they were moved into the palace. The emperor asked his confidants to investigate those ministers based on the amount of dowry. Within a few months, all the ministers who were found to be corrupt were thrown into prison.

The emperor suddenly attacked, and the ministers were not mentally prepared at all, causing chaos in the court and the harem.

Li Baolin, who has been quite "favored" recently, has been praised so much that she almost loses her mind. Suddenly, she learns that something happened at home, and immediately goes to ask for an audience with the emperor.

The emperor was staying in the queen's palace at this time. After planning for so long, he finally didn't have to act today. He sent the little prince away. The couple were sitting together and getting acquainted. When the queen heard Li Baolin asking for an audience, she pushed the emperor away and said, "Let someone in."

The emperor was unhappy. "Just send her away. Why would you want to see her?"

"I want to see it~"

"Okay, okay, the Queen can watch it if she wants.

"

Hong Tao went out to pass on the message, and Li Baolin came in soon after.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor, may His Majesty live long. I pay my respects to the Empress, may Her Majesty live a thousand years."

"Get up." The emperor said as he fed a peeled grape into the queen's mouth.

Li Baolin was so jealous watching the affectionate emperor and empress that she didn't stand up, but knelt down to the emperor's feet and said, "Your Majesty, my father has always been fair and upright, and he is an honest official. It is impossible for him to deceive his superiors and accept bribes. I hope your Majesty will investigate this matter."

After saying that, she raised her hand to touch the emperor's leg, but the emperor kicked her away in a hurry.

"Ah~" Li Baolin's face was distorted with pain. "Your Majesty~"

The emperor said angrily, "Just talk, don't touch me, or I'll chop off your hands.

Your father's case has been tried by the three courts, and the evidence is irrefutable. How dare you confuse right and wrong in front of me?"

Li Baolin covered her chest and begged, "Your Majesty, even if my father did something wrong, can't you let him go for the sake of my dedication to serving you?"

"cannot!"

Li Baolin was annoyed, and the words came out of her mouth without thinking, "How can the emperor be so cruel? Even if my father has no merits, he has worked hard. He made a small mistake and the Minister of Revenue was executed and his whole family was exiled. If it was the Queen's father who made the mistake, would the emperor still do this?"

Ning Yan: [How dare you bring up my father! Li Baolin is courting death!]

The emperor also looked unhappy: "Of course not!"

The Queen was the one who gave birth to the prince for him, how could she be compared to Li Baolin!

Not to mention that the father-in-law will not make mistakes, even if he makes a small mistake, as long as he doesn't rebel, he has to protect him!

Li Baolin looked at the queen with hatred, "What is this concubine of mine?"

Ning Yan: [Bullshit! I still have to hold it in! I will never let her go today! ]

Emperor: “…” My beloved, it is so difficult for me to keep my expression unchanged!
"It's just some fun! Just to make the Queen happy!

Okay, I've said enough. Come, Li Baolin slandered the father-in-law. Take him away and beat him to death!"

Instead of letting the queen do it, it’s better to do it myself.

The way this woman looked at the Queen seemed as if she wanted to eat her up. It would be better to deal with her early to avoid causing any trouble.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't do that. I didn't say anything. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Hong Tao was afraid that she would disturb the Emperor and Empress, so she stepped forward and knocked her unconscious with a knife. Then she winked at the palace maid and Li Baolin was dragged out.

As soon as Li Baolin died, all the concubines in the harem who wanted to plead for their families became obedient.

If you don't ask, at most your family will suffer. If you ask, they will die.

Forget it. Anyway, the family let them enter the palace in the first place because they hoped that they would be favored so that their family members could prosper. Now that their family members are in trouble, how can they prosper?

They just, never mind.

Ning Yan: [Today is another day when the emperor is showing off his domineering side! The emperor is really great! ]

The emperor straightened his back immediately: He didn’t understand what “霸气侧露” meant, but as soon as the second sentence came out, he understood that this must be a good word!
The queen is praising him!
Then he will continue next time!

As soon as Li Baolin died, all her dowry was put into the emperor's private treasury, but others didn't know that the emperor's private treasury belonged to the queen.

Of course, the Queen’s private vault still belongs to the Queen.

As the emperor was cracking down on officials, one-third of the court officials were vacant, and the emperor immediately issued an edict to hold additional special examinations.

In addition, the homes of those officials were searched and their private properties were confiscated, leaving the emperor with a lot of extra land. So, the emperor ordered farmhands or tenants to manage the land and only collected 10% of the rent each year.

The landless people all scrambled to farm for the emperor.

The people all praised the emperor for the benefits he received.

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

The queen was pregnant again.

Some of the new palace maids were tactless and thought that since the queen was pregnant, they had a chance.

On this day, the emperor was bathing in the bathroom. The palace maid Caixia entered the bathroom under the pretext of delivering clothes. As soon as she came in, she giggled shyly, "Your Majesty..." When she looked up, she found that not only the emperor but also the queen was here.

At this moment, both of them looked at her with cold faces.

However, at this time, one of them was in the pool and the other was on the edge of the pool.

The queen waved at her, and Caixia did not dare to disobey, and slowly moved in front of the queen, "Your Majesty, I came in to deliver clothes..."

The next second, Ning Yan pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and thrust it into Caixia's neck, "Are you still laughing?"

Caixia covered her neck which was bleeding and looked at the queen with horror. No, no more laughing!
No, she can never laugh again!
The emperor was so angry that he wished he could resurrect this palace maid eighteen times and kill her eighteen times again!
He actually dared to make trouble in front of the Queen and cause trouble for her. He deserves to die!
He quickly went ashore, held the queen in his arms, and washed her bloody hands in the pool. "Don't do this next time. Look at your hands, they are all broken."

The news that the Queen killed the palace maid who seduced the Emperor was still spread by someone with ulterior motives.

This time, no one from the previous dynasty dared to organize a beauty contest for the emperor.

To be honest, Ning Yan still felt a little regretful.

……

In the blink of an eye, a lifetime has passed.

Before his death, the emperor had always wanted to ask the queen: Do you know that I can hear your voice?
But he didn't ask after all. It didn't matter whether he knew or not. The queen loved him, and that was enough.
