“He can’t either.”
Before Xiao Zeyu could say who it was, he rejected it. Su Qing glanced at him. Although Xiao Zeyu didn’t say it, she could already guess who it was.
“Indeed not.”
Su Qing closed her eyes and said lazily. Shuisheng must have wanted to send Zhang Jinglin. Luan Hong was pregnant with her second child and needed her husband. Sending Zhang Jinglin away at this time was simply unreasonable. “There’s no need to look for your own family…”
Xiao Zeyu muttered to himself. For example, Jinkuang didn’t use his people. Instead, he used the newly selected martial arts scholar. He had the army he brought to guard Jinkuang. There were spies in the army. Every move of this martial arts scholar was specially reported to him.
The gold mine had been mined for almost two years, and nothing had happened. The jade mine could also be used as a reference for the checks and balances of the gold mine.
Su Qing nodded and fell into a deep sleep. She didn’t know what was wrong, but she was exhausted. She wanted to go to bed quickly. Perhaps it was because she had been too busy recently. She wanted to give herself a break and have a good rest.
The next day, Su Qing slept until she woke up naturally. Xiao Zeyu had already woken up to attend the morning court session. Being the Emperor was tough He woke up earlier than a chicken and slept later than a dog. He was tense and exhausted every day.
“Empress, you’re awake.”
Seeing Su Qing sit up, the palace maids immediately came over to help her wash up.
Su Qing was too lazy to move, so she let them serve her. After washing up, the palace maids brought the breakfast into the Qiankun Palace.
Niangmang, this is the red date lotus seed soup the emperor asked us to make.”
Your Highness, these are the dumplings the Emperor made for you…”
The palace maids filed in and took out breakfast from the food boxes. They took out one dish and told Su Qing. They were all the dishes Xiao Zeyu had specially ordered for the imperial kitchen to make for Su Qing.
The palace maids were envious of the Empress. The Emperor doted on her and was so devoted. Those who didn’t know better would think the Empress had cast a spell on the Emperor!
Su Qing looked at the table full of porridge. There were three kinds of porridge: steamed dumplings, pies, scallion pancakes, golden silk noodles, and various other main dishes. All of them were her favorite dishes. Her cold face also had a hint of warmth.
She didn’t like being stared at while eating, so she waved at the palace maids.
“You can leave!”
The palace maids knew Su Qing’s habits and waited outside after bowing.
Su Qing looked at the breakfast dishes on the table that she liked to eat. She started to eat very seriously. She didn’t know why she had become very greedy.
In the past, she would only eat a tray of buns, an egg, and a bowl of porridge for breakfast.
Today, she had eaten almost every breakfast dish and suddenly felt like she had become a big eater, unable to eat her fill.
“Has the Empress woken up?”
Zhong Yong’s cautious voice came from outside the house. Su Qing put down the red date lotus seed soup she was eating and shouted outside,
“Zhong Yong, come in!”
Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan woke up early and changed their clothes. They came to the palace to serve tea to Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu. The main reason was that Zhong Yong did not have parents. Su Qing was his Master, and Xiao Zeyu was his elder brother. Zhong Yong decided to serve tea to his elder brother and Master.
Jiang Yuyan was a new wife, so she dared not walk. She followed behind her husband with small steps, her little face toot and her eyes were less youthful and more feminine.
She was gorgeous when she was a young girl. After being nourished by her husband, she was as beautiful as a blooming flower.
“Master.”
Zhong Yong walked into the house with a wide grin. When he entered, he lifted his shirt and knelt on the ground.
“Master, Yong’ er has no parents. I’m here to serve you and Big Brother tea.”
Overnight, the big boy had grown into a man. Su Qing was delighted. She smiled and nodded.
“Someone, serve the tea.”
A marriage without the blessing of parents was always flawed. Offering tea to a new daughter-in-law was essential to getting recognition from the man’s family.
Su Qing didn’t want Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan to have any regrets.
The palace maid brought the tea over. Xiao Zeyu was in court and couldn’t take the tea. Su Qing drank both cups and took out two big red packets.
“Yuyan, Sister Su Qing wishes you a child soon.”
“Zhong Yong, you’re different now that you’re married. You have to treat Yuyan well. Don t be half-hearted and follow your spouse.”
Su Qing gave each of them a red packet and different instructions. Jiang Yuyan wished her to have a child soon, while Zhong Yong wished him to follow his spouse.
“Yes, Master. I will listen to Master.”
Zhong Yong grinned foolishly, not angry at his Master’s suggestion. In front of
Su Qing, he handed the red packet to Jiang Yuyan for safekeeping,
Madam, I’ll give you all the money.”
Don’t look at Zhong Yong as a simple-minded person. When doting on his wife, he didn’t hesitate and took the initiative to hand over the financial power.
After Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan got married, Su Qing felt relieved. Autumn was the harvest season. She took the children to the fields and let them change into coarse clothes to work in the fields with her.
Today, Su Qing was going to break the corn. The princes, the palace maids, and the eunuchs were all transferred to the manor by Su Qing to work.
Su Qing and her men cut the corn and put it on the ground. The children went over and broke the corn.
Yun’ er especially liked to work in the fields. She had a blue and white scarf on her head and was wearing short clothes. Her small face was flushed by the wind. Although she dressed like a village doll, her skin was still too delicate and tender. She lacked the wind and rain, and no potatoes were on her face.
Although Ziqi and Zhang Qirui were dressed in coarse clothes, they had a noble temperament m their bones. Even if they wore coarse clothes to work on the ground, they were like scholars. They were gentle and refined. Compared to Yun er, they looked stupid and did not know how to work.
Yun’ er didn’t hold back at all. She stuck out her petite butt and used her two chubby hands to grab the big stick of corn. She broke it off perfectly.
She looked at her brother and Zhang Qirui, who was sweating profusely and breaking the corn with great difficulty, with a look of disgust.
“You guys have to break it like this.”
Yun’ er went over to demonstrate to them. Zhang Qirui learned very seriously.
Ziqi also secretly watched how her sister broke the rice and followed suit.
Su Qing was holding a sickle that she had made herself. It was so sharp that it could break a feather. She was very good at her work. She grabbed a corn stalk and knocked it down with a sickle.
The eunuchs and palace maids were used to serve people in the palace.
Although they were serving people, they were not tired from the wind and rain, nor did they do anything. All of them were raised to have soft skin and tender flesh.
They were so tired that they threw away their helmets and armor and dragged their feet when they suddenly came to work. However, they did not dare to stop until their Master stopped. They panted and ran along.
The golden saber guards who were responsible for protecting the Empress and the Prince were also ordered by Su Qing to chop the corn. The large sabers in their hands turned into sickles, and the golden saber guards became farmers.
Xiao Qi and Little Lingling followed closely behind the three children to protect them. This was the task that Su Qing had given them. The two little spirit beasts flew around the children like a pair of wings and did their best to protect them.
Everyone was busy working when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves.
There were quite a number of people coming, and the ground felt like it was trembling..
