Chapter 197 Hot Spring Pool

Eunuch Ma hurriedly entered the house to wait on him.

"Your Majesty, my servant is here."

After these days, Xiao Jingzhao was quite satisfied with Eunuch Ma. As the court became more stable, he began to let down his guard little by little towards the people serving around him.

After the wound on his arm healed, he was no longer guarded by royal guards outside the palace.

"Send the guards to come in and take orders."

"Slave, I obey." Eunuch Ma bowed and retreated.

Xiao Jingzhao was worried that Jiang Shuyue would be too busy managing a large restaurant by a woman, so he asked Xiang Yang to find a capable and trustworthy person.

Xiang Yang has not been seen since yesterday, and it is not known where he went to look for him.

Xiang Song went to the Yamen to select the inner curtain officer who would go to Gongyuan to prevent anyone from engaging in malpractice for personal gain.

After a while, a man dressed as a guard followed Eunuch Ma in.

The guard clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are here. Please give me your orders."

Xiao Jingzhao looked up and ordered: "The Queen Mother and the Princess should be arriving in the capital soon. Send a team of people to the first post station outside the capital to wait to greet them."

The guard cupped his fists and accepted the order, "I will lead a small team to greet you."

Thinking that his second sister was playful, Xiao Jingzhao added, "There may be delays on the way, or we may arrive in the capital a few days late."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will bring the Queen Mother and the Princess back to the palace safely."

Seeing the guards walking away, Ma Eunuch bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Cining Palace has been repaired. Your Majesty should go and see which palace is suitable for the two princesses to live in."

Now the huge harem is empty, and the people who come in and out every day are the maids and eunuchs who go to clean the palace.

Xiao Jingzhao opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and read it again and again.

After a while, he said to Mr. Ma: "You can choose two palaces near Cining Palace. One is Yonghe Palace for the eldest princess to live in. The palace where the second princess lives will be named after Changle Palace."

The second sister is still young, and she will definitely be the same as before. She will always cling to the queen, so it would be better to keep her closer to the palace where the queen lives.

Eunuch Ma quickly bowed and said, "I obey my orders. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. The titles of the two princesses are really nice."

He has a lot to wear but never flatters. Eunuch Ma doesn't always flatter the emperor. He is very discerning and can see that the new emperor is a pragmatic and wise emperor.

If he behaves like the previous chief eunuch, I am afraid that he, the chief eunuch, will soon come to an end.

Xiao Jingzhao also put a lot of thought into these two titles.

The eldest sister has a quiet personality. He hopes that she will be happy in the future, find a husband, and be harmonious and beautiful forever.

The second sister is as naughty as a monkey and heartless, but she can pretend to be in front of him, but it only takes a few breaths for her true colors to be revealed.

He hoped that his second sister would have a smooth life and be happy for a long time.

After everything was explained, Xiao Jingzhao suddenly remembered something.

Even the Minister of Hubu has been fucked by him, and the Minister of Hubu has not yet come to report the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion.

He asked Eunuch Ma, "Has the Shangshu Mansion been emptied?"

Eunuch Ma hurriedly said: "I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask."

Eunuch Ma took the order and left. Xiao Jingzhao took out the roster he had compiled and read it.

It's not a problem that the position of prime minister has always been vacant. He needs a right-hand man to share his worries.

To be able to select the Minister of Household Affairs from among the new champions and Jinshi is already breaking the rules.

The prime minister still had to be chosen from among the courtiers and elders.

He no longer followed the past convention of appointing a minister who was subordinate to one person but above ten thousand people.

He thought for a long time and decided to decentralize power and let the court officials form a tripartite force to supervise and restrict each other.

After a cup of tea, Eunuch Ma brought an official from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor." The officials knelt down respectfully.

Xiao Jingzhao raised his hand slightly and said, "Stay flat."

Then he asked: "Can the mansion of Shangshu Mansion be taken back?"

After the official stood up, he bowed slightly and did not dare to look directly at Long Yan. He lowered his eyes and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Mr. Jiang has returned to the mansion and came to the Ministry of Revenue yesterday to have his hair done."

"Yeah, well done."

…

At night in Jiang Mansion, the lanterns on the eaves swayed in the night wind, and the quiet corridor was empty.

Outside Shumoxuan, Jiang Shuyue watched the lights in front of the window lattice go out, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, the eldest son has rested, you don't have to worry." Qiu Ju said in a low voice.

"Shh! Let's go back and talk." Jiang Shuyue made a silent gesture and walked back softly.

Jiang Shuyue was worried that Su Jin would be anxious and unable to sleep before the exam, so she came over to take a look.

She wrote a few poems for Su Jin to memorize, and it only took Su Jin one day to memorize them very well.

Among them, there are mountains and rivers as topics, scenery as topics, etc. According to Jiang Shuyue's calculation, it is impossible to get even one topic right.

Back at Xingyue Courtyard, Qiu Ju put down the lantern in her hand and said, "Master Su has been personally tutored by Mr. Su since he was a child. As long as he performs normally, he will be able to win a prize or something."

"I'm worried that he won't sleep well and won't be in good condition tomorrow." Jiang Shuyue walked into the room and took a look at the hourglass.

In order to let Su Jin have a good rest, both Su Nan and Sui Sui went to Nangong Zeyue Courtyard to rest tonight.

Jiang Shuyue thought about getting up early tomorrow to send Su Jin to Gongyuan. She said to Qiu Ju, "You go and have a rest. I'll go to bed too."

Watching Qiu Ju go to the next door, Jiang Shuyue took off her coat and stepped into the space.

Just as she was about to walk towards the stream, she saw smoke filling one side of the Lingquan Pool out of the corner of her eye. Jiang Shuyue walked over and saw a hot spring pool half a foot away from the Lingquan Pool.

The hot spring pool was so clear that she could see the bottom clearly, and she was overjoyed. Was there another change in the space?

She squatted down and fiddled with the hot spring water with her hands. The temperature was just right.

She took off her pajamas and walked down slowly.

She used to bathe in the stream and was reluctant to bathe in the spiritual spring pool. Now that she had a hot spring pool, she could finally bathe in the hot spring frequently.

After bathing in the hot spring, she felt comfortable all over. After wringing her hair dry, she slept in the space.

The next day, the morning light was dim. There was a lot of traffic in front of the Imperial Examination Hall, and officials were outside to maintain order.

Qiuju lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scholars waiting in line for inspection, with quilts on their backs and baskets in their hands.

Seeing that Su Jin was not nervous at all, Jiang Shuyue lifted up the bundled quilt and said, "Sister, I'll take you to the door."

Su Jin took the quilt and slung it over her shoulder, "Sister, don't go. There are too many people here. I can do it."

People were shoulder to shoulder in front of the Imperial Examination Hall. Most of the people who were taking the exam were men. He was afraid that others would accidentally bump into Jiang Shuyue.

Qiu Ju was about to get up when Gao Mu reached out and picked up the big food box at the door of the carriage, "Miss and Qiu Ju, don't get off the car. I'll take Mr. Su there."

Looking at the huge crowd at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, Jiang Shuyue nodded.

He patted Su Jin's arm again, "Don't be nervous, don't care about the result, just do your best."

Su Jin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister, you've said it three times."

Jiang Shuyue stroked her forehead, "I'm nervous."

Su Jin jumped out of the car and waved to Jiang Shuyue, then turned around and followed Gao Mu's footsteps.

"Mr. Su."

A familiar voice sounded in the crowd.
