Chapter 333 Entering the Imperial Palace and Sleeping with the Queen
Tang Xinyi smiled and said,
"I'm very curious about our Emperor Yan. What kind of extraordinary woman could make a man like you willingly and selflessly assist her?"
"Haha, in two months, you'll probably see it before the New Year."
Shen Changgong took her and walked into the hall.
In fact, in Tang Xinyi's opinion, Shen Changgong's abilities and achievements can no longer be described as being so successful that it frightens the ruler.
Basically, it's either rebel or die.
Which monarch could tolerate having such a powerful and capable minister always by his side?
Moreover, Shen Changgong clearly had the strength and ability in the future, so why didn't he rebel?
However, Tang Xinyi cannot say these words, as if she does, she will be suspected of sowing discord.
It dares not say it, but someone dares to say it.
Gongsun Wan'er walked over playfully, stretched out her hands towards the dragon throne, and said,
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Shen Changgong narrowed his eyes and looked at her, saying,
"What? You want to rebel? You want me to become emperor so I can make you a concubine?"
"Tsk, who wants to be your concubine? I'm the chief steward, the chief steward of the imperial palace, much more noble than a concubine!"
Gongsun Wan'er put her hands on her hips and spoke arrogantly.
Shen Changgong blinked and said,
"Have the two generations of empresses of Dayan made you lose track of your own identity? The chief steward is the one in charge. No matter how much he manages things, he is still a servant. The concubines in the harem, no matter how low their status is, are still the emperor's women and the master.
understand? "
"Hmph, Your Majesty has no concubines, I am the boss of the harem."
Gongsun Wan'er regained the arrogant and squinting demeanor she had when she first met Shen Changgong.
"Want to get beaten again?"
Shen Changgong asked while pulling her ear.
"Oh, let go, let go, let's go to the harem. From now on, this harem will be under my management. Tonight, I will find those palace maids and eunuchs to give them a lecture.
When I was in Yan State, all the palace maids and eunuchs had to obey me."
"Yes, yes, you, General Manager Gongsun, are so powerful."
Shen Changgong smiled and walked towards the harem with the three women.
Gongsun Wan'er said,
"Are you really not interested in the Dragon Throne?"
"She believed I wouldn't sit on the throne, so she gave me power almost equal to that of an emperor. I can't betray her trust."
"You are truly loyal."
"With a lackey like you watching over me, how could I dare to be disloyal?"
"cut."
Tang Xinyi walked at the end, looking at Shen Changgong who had no reluctance to the dragon throne, she tilted her head slightly and blinked.
For Shen Changgong, being an emperor and governing the country was simply too troublesome. He preferred to command thousands of troops on the battlefield and conquer one enemy after another.
Governing internal affairs, managing people's livelihood, ensuring logistics, and engaging in intrigue with officials are too troublesome, so it's better to leave it to the first wife.
When you arrive at the harem, the first place you enter is the imperial garden.
"Some time ago, the prince of Kun State rebelled and was annihilated here."
Tang Xinyi said as she walked.
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"Well taken care of."
After the Imperial Garden is the Kunning Palace.
"This is the residence of the Emperor and Empress of Kun Country, the Kunning Palace. I don't like it here."
Tang Xinyi said with her head down.
"This is the main palace, reserved for His Majesty. I will arrange for you to stay in the palace next door. In the future, when you attend court and assist in government affairs, you will be able to assist His Majesty nearby."
"Okay, then I want Xile Palace, the palace northwest of Kunning Palace. It has a nice environment and a garden. It used to be Concubine Chen's place. I've liked it for a long time."
"Okay, I'll give it to you then."
Gongsun Wan'er ran over and asked,
"What about me?"
"Do you want to live in the concubine's palace or the chief steward's room?"
"I...I am not your concubine."
Gongsun Wan'er snorted coldly and began to look left and right again.
They moved around several palaces in the harem.
I have to say, the Kun Kingdom’s palace is really fucking huge.
Shengjing, as the largest and most prosperous city in the northern part of the world, is also the economic, political and cultural center of Kun State, and its area is unique.
The imperial palace of Kun Kingdom was also very huge. There were more than seventy palaces in the front and back palaces, including office spaces, ceremonial ancestral temple halls, and residences for concubines.
Add to that the numerous courtyards, gardens, pavilions, and other residences for lower-ranking concubines, residences for palace maids and eunuchs, the imperial kitchen, the clothing bureau, and other functional houses, and all the rooms add up to more than 8,000.
Its size and luxury are almost comparable to the Forbidden City that Shen Changgong visited in his previous life.
After a quick tour of a few palaces, Shen Changgong couldn't help but sigh that the Kun people were really damn extravagant.
If you have money, you can build it like this.
Shen Changgong asked Gongsun Wan'er to be in charge of the palace maids and eunuchs and manage the affairs of the palace.
After everything was done, it was almost evening.
It is the beginning of winter now, it gets dark early, and the palace is already lit.
The imperial kitchen prepared the meal, and Shen Changgong and the other three began to eat together.
There is no need to worry about Su Wuan and others in the city, as they will be provided with meals in the military camp.
Under the bright candlelight, they chatted and ate.
"By the way, we've already taken over the imperial palace. We've sent a pigeon to His Majesty, asking them to move the capital. There are still more than two months until the Chinese New Year. If they leave quickly, they can still make it in time for the New Year celebrations and ancestral worship in Shengjing."
"They can't move very fast. With their families and so much stuff, they probably can't even move as fast as an army. But they don't need to take a detour, they can just go south.
It will take more than 20 days to travel through Yan State, and two months to reach Shengjing."
"Well, let's take care of Shengjing so that we can get to work directly when His Majesty and the others arrive."
"I heard that some old ministers are unwilling to move the capital."
"That's fine. If anyone doesn't want to stay in Yanjing, that's fine. We'll arrange for new people to take their place."
Gongsun Wan'er chuckled. No one would be so stupid as to give up his official position to someone else.
After dinner, Gongsun Wan'er released the carrier pigeon and went to give the palace maids and eunuchs a lecture, letting them know who would be in charge from now on.
Shen Changgong brought Tang Xinyi and two little palace maids to Xile Palace and walked in.
"Ma'am, these are all new beddings, please feel free to use them."
"Well, everyone, go out. I need to rest."
Tang Xinyi waved her hand and the two palace maids hurried out.
However, Shen Changgong is still here.
Looking at Shen Changgong who was standing like a telephone pole, Tang Xinyi crossed her arms and said,
"Didn't I tell you? Everyone, go out. I need to rest."
Shen Changgong said with a wicked smile on his face
"I will help your Majesty change clothes and go to bed."
Tang Xinyi's face turned red instantly, and she knew that this day would eventually come.
A few days ago in the military camp, Shen Changgong didn't have the courage to ask for her, but today when he arrived at the palace, it finally came.
