Chapter 68: Unofficial Secret Guard (18)

Lin Shu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, as her second pregnancy. Adding the five treasures she gave birth to as her first pregnancy, there are now seven princes and princesses in the palace, all thanks to Lin Shu alone.

Other people usually have two children in three years, but she had seven.

Lin Shu, who had just come out of confinement, looked like a girl who had never given birth. Her face was rosy and shiny, her waist was slender and tight, and she looked very young and healthy.

I have to say, the things in her system are really useful.

Lin Shu had just walked out and didn't hear clearly what Hu said.

But Lin Shu knew that Mrs. Hu had been harboring resentment towards Aunt Zhao for a long time.

During the past few months that Mrs. Hu had lived in the palace, she had often told Lin Shu how difficult her life had been.

Because she only gave birth to a daughter and no son, she was laughed at as useless and was bullied by the women in the mansion's backyard, especially Aunt Zhao who bullied her the most!
Every time she finished complaining about her suffering, Mrs. Hu would go on to praise Lin Shu, saying that her daughter was the most promising, and that she would be the queen and have many children. Her hard days were finally over, and she would see who would dare to look down on her in the future!
Lin Shu was tired of listening to it for so long.

At this moment, his face turned cold, and he said to Mrs. Hu with a stern face:
"Well, every wrong has its perpetrator, go and seek revenge on whoever made you angry in the past. What's the point of bullying an innocent kid?
This palace and Sister Ran never interfere in the affairs of your generation. If there are any grudges, you should solve them yourselves and don’t affect the relationship between us sisters. "

Hu's pupils trembled, "Empress..."

It seemed unbelievable that his own daughter would not stand on his side even though she knew how much he had suffered!
Lin Shu sent Hu away with just two words, not wanting to be affected by her resentment.

Then he pulled Lin Ran to sit down together.

“Sister, please try the Yingjiu tea in my palace.

This is what General Rong brought back to Beijing a while ago. It was originally a tribute tea from the royal family of a small country, and its quality and taste are beyond doubt. The aroma of this tea is mainly floral and fruity, with a hint of honey. This aroma makes it unique, and I have been particularly fond of drinking it recently."

"Wow, thank you, Queen."

After hearing this, Lin Ran's eyes lit up and she immediately became interested in tasting it.

If the army sent by the emperor had not occupied the small country of xx and incorporated its land into his own country, they would not be able to drink the unique black tea of ​​this small country of xx.

When the temperature reached the right level, Lin Ran took a sip.

The tea soup is bright orange-red in color and has a rich, mellow and refreshing taste. It is indeed a good tea.

It would be even better if it could be used to make milk tea.

In addition to drinking tea, Lin Shu also talked about the loneliness and hardship of being the only woman in such a large harem after the concubines were disbanded.

In the past, there were many concubines, and the harem was bustling every day. There were good shows to watch from time to time, and people could talk about who the emperor favored and who he neglected.

Now that Lin Shu is the queen and the mother of a country, she has a lot to do every day besides serving the emperor in bed.

Everything that the four concubines once did together now fell on Lin Shu alone.

In the operation of a dynasty, the queen plays a very important role.

Lin Shu not only needs to manage the palace's internal affairs, but also ensure the order and harmony in the palace.

She is in charge of everything in the palace and has to repeat her daily tasks every day.

In addition, the Queen must also participate in other major events.

For example, during sacrifices, the empress had the same status as the emperor and must be present.

Matters such as registering fields, cultivating silkworms, and raising mulberry trees all need to be presided over by the queen.

In short, after Lin Shu became the queen, she found that her life was not easy.

She thought being a queen was a life of luxury, but it turned out to be a life of hard work. She had to do something good so that the officials of the previous dynasty would recognize her and respect her as a queen. If she didn't care about anything and just lay down in the palace to give birth, the officials of the previous dynasty would probably spit at her and advise the emperor to choose another virtuous queen.

Lin Ran had nothing to say, she just listened quietly.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. It shows that being in a high position is not that easy.

Many emperors in history died from overwork.

While enjoying the honor and luxury, the emperor and empress also had to work hard for the people, striving to ensure that water could carry the boats and pass on the country to the royal heirs and descendants.

In contrast, Lin Ran couldn't help but think of herself and Xie Fengye.

It is also a good choice for the two of them to lie down together and be free people with money and free time!
Xie Fengye entered the palace and was trained to be a secret guard since he was a child. He had been working for the emperor and had no need to spend money. Therefore, he had accumulated a considerable amount of money, which was enough for him to squander for the rest of his life.

They decided to leave together, and Xie Fengye handed over all his property to Lin Ran.

When moving to a new place, one must necessarily buy a new house, furniture, and various other unavoidable expenses. He believed that as a man, he should pay for all these expenses.

……

"Sister, it would be great if you could stay in the palace to accompany me. I would also have a sister to talk to."

Lin Shu suddenly said this.

Lin Ran’s thoughts drifted back to her senses, and she could see some confusion in her eyes.

Maybe she was telling the truth, but she was also conflicted and didn't want another woman in the palace.

Since becoming the queen, Lin Shu would not allow any palace maids with a bit of beauty the chance to appear in front of the emperor.

The uglier the palace maids serving in the emperor's presence, the more likely they are to be assigned.

I just don't want to give the emperor the chance to have feelings for other women.

After all, the emperor does not have the psychological awareness of being with one person for his whole life. Since he became an adult, he has been accustomed to having countless women around him. If Lin Shu had not used the skills exchanged by the system on him, it would have been difficult to convince him to disband his harem.

A philandering man always wants to try something new, and even if he knows he is not a good candidate, he will not miss the opportunity to try.

That's why Lin Shu was cautious and arranged an ugly palace maid for the emperor to prevent him from having the idea of ​​trying something new.

If Lin Ran was really kept in the harem, even if she stayed as a sister of the Lin family to accompany the queen, Lin Shu would inevitably worry that the man would cheat on her, so she became entangled.

Lin Ran smiled, thinking that the heroine was worrying in vain.

"Your Majesty, I will be leaving the capital tomorrow.

This journey is long and arduous, and I don't know when I can come back. It is a pity that I cannot stay in the palace to accompany the Empress.

I hope the Queen will take good care of herself and not overwork herself."

When Lin Shu heard this, she suddenly realized something.

He was about to ask.

Then Lin Ran quickly stood up and saluted:
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Lin Shu immediately looked outside and saw a tall and majestic figure in bright yellow walking towards them.

When there were no outsiders around, Lin Shu had long been accustomed to not bowing to the emperor. She would simply step forward, hug the emperor's arm, and help him to his seat.

"Your Majesty, why are you here suddenly?"
