Bai Su coaxed Duan Changchuan to eat, and then she reviewed memorials with him in the study.
The wind in March was relatively gentle, and there was a small charcoal stove in the house, which kept people warm.
Bai Su picked up a book at random and sat back on the couch to read it.
As an S-level Alpha, her mental power is very strong and she can remember everything she has seen. Therefore, even though she has only learned to read for less than a month, she can already understand ordinary books.
As I was watching, I heard a faint cry from inside the room.
When I looked up, I found that the young man who was sitting at the table and marking documents seriously had fallen asleep on the table without me noticing.
Even when he fell asleep, he still held his wolf-hair brush in his hand.
Bai Su walked over quietly, thought for a moment, and then took off her clothes and put them on him.
When the Omega smelled the pheromones of his Alpha, he sniffed it lightly with the tip of his nose and consciously shrank back into his clothes.
I couldn't help but laugh: he is weird and hypocritical when he is awake, but he is very honest when he is asleep.
He carefully took the pen from the boy's hand and looked down to see the handwriting he had written on the paper.
Letter to the Emperor: I, the magistrate of Jiangyan County, wish to hear your Majesty's well-being. It is cold in February, so please remember to put on more clothes.
Duan Changchuan's comments: It is already March in Shengjing. I am well and thank you for your concern.
I thought this conversation was purely accidental, and perhaps Duan Changchuan was just familiar with this person.
When I turned around, I saw that among the memorials that the young man had reviewed, he could pick out five or six out of ten
[Your Majesty, there has been no incident in Jiangxi recently. Is Your Majesty safe?]
[I am very well.]
[Your Majesty, clusters of peach blossoms bloom in the south of the Yangtze River in February. I present these flowers to your Majesty, and wish you and the world peace.]
[My dear minister, if you have a good heart, I and the world will be at peace.]
The people who greeted were very respectful, and the children who were visiting for the first time also answered each question seriously.
Bai Su sorted out the memorials she had reviewed and looked down at the Omega who was curled up in her clothes with only half of his face exposed...
I couldn't help but secretly kissed the child on the ear.
After the kiss, I couldn't help laughing: I've been married twice and have done everything I should do, but I still want to play such an innocent game as a secret kiss.

When Duan Changchuan woke up, he was lying on the bed.
She was covered with a thick quilt, feeling warm, and her whole body was filled with the scent of peony belonging to Bai Su.
When he lifted the quilt, he found that he was still covered with Bai Su's clothes.
I realized later that when I was sleeping, my nose was buried in other people's clothes and I was smelling their scent.
Thinking of what Bai Su had told him, smelling pheromones is something that only close people would do...
Then he quickly took the clothes away with a red face.
As dusk approached, the room was already dim, but the palace servants had not yet lit the lights.
The surroundings were quiet and no one was seen.
"Changle?" he shouted outside.
The person guarding the door immediately came in and said, "Your Majesty, I am here. You are awake."
Duan Changchuan blinked, stretched a little, and asked with a "hmm": "How did I get to **?"
He remembered that he had fallen asleep while reviewing memorials.
How could he wake up in the middle of nowhere? Could it be that Changle carried him here? He must have slept too soundly...
Unexpectedly, Changle said directly: "I don't know. I have been outside the door. Only the Queen is in the room... Didn't you sleep till midnight by yourself?"
Duan Changchuan: …
Changle also:
The master and servant looked at each other in confusion for a while.
Finally, Duan Changchuan waved his hands in giving up: "Forget it, maybe I am too sleepy, I will go to bed by myself..."
Otherwise there is no other explanation.
It couldn't be that Bai Su carried him to the bed.
Speaking of Bai Su, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Queen?"
"The Queen went to the Imperial Kitchen. She said she wanted to discuss cooking with the Imperial Chef. She left at 3 p.m. and has been gone for over an hour. She hasn't returned yet."
"She can cook...?"
After asking, Duan Changchuan suddenly realized that Bai Su grew up in a side room, and no one even took care of her when she was sick, so how could anyone take care of her food? She must have learned to cook by herself slowly and groping.
It was Bai Su in his daily life who gave him such a strong feeling that he always forgot about this person's past.
Thinking of this, the young man put on his clothes and got out of bed, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Changle agreed habitually: "Eh..."
Ying Wan only realized that his master was going to the kitchen, and his eyes widened in shock: "Your Majesty, you are a daughter of a thousand gold, how can you go to a place like that!"
However, the man in bright yellow has already left the house.
"No matter how precious you are, you are still a mortal who eats grains and cereals. Why can't you go to a place where people cook?"
"Your Majesty, everyone says that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen..."
The young man raised his lips slightly, "Who says that what everyone says is right? I think the king of a country should look around and see all the dirty things in the world. Besides, isn't it just cooking? Food is the most important thing for the people, how can it be dirty? Moreover, why are grown men so proud that they can't even enter a place where weaker women can enter? I want to go and take a look."
-
The imperial kitchen is very large, and meals for the masters of each palace are usually prepared from here. The meals are cooked in real time, and if a master is suddenly hungry, he can send someone to get them directly.
There was a roaring fire in the room, and as soon as I entered the room, the hot air hit my face.
The air is filled with the aroma of food.
The boy couldn't help swallowing his saliva...it smelled pretty good.
It tastes better than anything he's had recently.
"Your Majesty? Your servants (the ministers) pay their respects to Your Majesty."
The chef, kitchen helper, palace maids and servants who came to get food in the room knelt down hurriedly when they saw the emperor coming.
So, Duan Changchuan easily saw Bai Su at the innermost part of the room. She was wearing gray clothes and her long hair was neatly tied up.
Just then, that person turned around when he heard the voice, his dark eyes were calm, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he looked at him quietly.
The young man walked over with reserved steps, his dark eyes secretly peering into the casserole behind her, and asked, "I heard from Changle that you were discussing cooking with the imperial chef, so I came to take a look."
Both of them were under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Bai Su restrained her usual temper and knelt respectfully before him, pointing to the casserole behind her and saying, "I asked the imperial chef for some rice wine and maltose, and tried stewing them with the duck."
As he said this, he lifted the lid of the pot to show him.
Suddenly, the aroma of meat filled the air, mixed with the flavors of bay leaves and other seasonings, making one's mouth water at the first sniff.
Duan Changchuan followed her and looked inside, and saw small bubbles bubbling in the pot.
The soup is thick and the duck meat is covered with a light brown layer.
The more you look at it, the more delicious it tastes.
It’s also very fragrant.
Bai Su curved her lips and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to taste it?"
Then he took a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck meat from the pot, held it in one hand and put it to his lips.
The food Duan Changchuan ate was always served intact on the table one by one. He had never seen food like this being eaten directly from the pot.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Can I... just eat it?"
Changle rushed over to stop her: "Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty's dishes must be tasted by your servants before they can be eaten..."
As a result, the woman blew twice at the duck meat, and before Changle could react, she stuffed it directly into Duan Changchuan's mouth.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
The boy was caught off guard and stuffed the food into his mouth, causing his cheeks to bulge out.
Eyes opened wider than before.
"How is it?" Bai Su asked.
Duan Changchuan chewed the food with a crunching sound. Because it was too hot, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeves and exhale in small sips.
Finally swallowing it, he nodded: "Delicious."
"Tasteless? I didn't put much salt. This salt is different from what I used before, and I don't know how much to put in."
"A little bland... but ok."
Bai Su took a spoon, poured about a quarter of salt into the juice, and stirred it into the juice.
"There is no beer in Datong. If you ask around in the Western Regions, you will always find barley wine. When I have barley wine, I will make beer duck for you. For now, just use this to make do."
The woman spoke as she stirred the pot.
As Duan Changchuan watched, his eyes suddenly felt a little sour.
As far as he could remember, he had never seen such a scene before... but he always felt that it was inexplicably familiar.
Even at this moment, he felt that his life was supposed to be like this...
It has to be like this all the time.
As if possessed by a ghost, he took a step forward and gently put his arms around the woman's waist.
She sniffed softly and said, "Thank you, it's delicious, I like it very much..."
Hands were gently held.
He realized later that his action was a bit too intimate and thought about pulling back.
But he was forcefully pulled forward, and both of his hands were grasped in the man's palms.
"good."
She said.
-
Duan Changchuan got to eat the duck he had been craving for, and felt very satisfied for several days.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of March.
The Spring Examination, held once every few years, will be held tomorrow.
On this day, the Regent and the Queen Mother held a banquet in the palace to entertain the two main persons in charge of this Spring Examination, the ceremonial officials from the Ministry of Rites, and several examiners.
The banquet started in the evening. There were dozens of ministers, their wives, princes and nobles in total.
Half of the hall was filled.
The Regent and Duan Changchuan exchanged a few polite words such as "thank you all for your hard work" and "we will rely on you gentlemen for this spring examination", and then the banquet began.
Duan Changchuan has been following the doctor's advice these days, eating light and healthy food, giving up oily and spicy foods, not drinking a drop of alcohol, and even reducing the amount of tea he drinks.
He was also very well behaved at today's banquet. Doctor Fang kept his illness a secret and did not allow anyone to tell anyone, so the dishes placed in front of him were the same as those for all the ministers present, but he picked out what he could eat and did not cross the line in the slightest.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was full and started talking about family matters.
The Queen Mother smiled and praised the Regent: "Prince Cheng has worked hard to organize the dinner and the Spring Examination. Chuan'er has not been in good health in recent days, and I don't understand state affairs. Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's personal management, these things were done so well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Changchuan put down his chopsticks with a "pop".
What does it mean that His Royal Highness the City King is in charge
What does it mean to "handle everything"
In order to prepare for his son's imperial examination, he went through the rules again and again, and reviewed memorials every day until the hour of Hai.
In the end, it turned out that he was "in poor health" and could not do anything and could only rely on the regent
"The Queen Mother is in the harem every day, and the farthest place she goes is the back garden. It is normal that she does not understand. I have been to the Mingsheng Palace several times. Your Majesty is diligent in government every day. Even if he is not in good health, he has never neglected government affairs."
Bai Su beside him spoke slowly, then filled a bowl of soup and pushed it over.
Her words made the Queen Mother's expression change.
The emperor was in poor health, but she, his mother, stayed in the harem all day long and never visited him once.
He obviously knows nothing, yet he talks about politics, and his comments are all wrong. He has never understood anything, and he flatters the regent with his eyes closed.
Bai Su's words did not leave her any face at all.
The woman in a high position put on an awkward smile and stammered, "Is... is that so? So your Majesty has worked so hard. Well... since the emperor and your uncle have worked so hard, why don't we have a drink together?"
After saying that, he raised the cup in his hand.
"I usually never drink, but today I will make an exception. The emperor and the city king have worked hard, so I would like to offer you two a drink... Without you men ruling this peaceful and prosperous world, I would not be able to enjoy the good life in the harem every day."
Afterwards, regardless of whether Duan Changchuan agreed or not, he simply clinked glasses with the Regent from a distance, raised his head and drank.
After drinking, he turned the cup upside down and looked at Duan Changchuan quietly.
The meaning is very clear: I have finished drinking, when will Your Majesty drink
This way of handling the matter made Bai Su and Duan Changchuan both:…
I am completely speechless.
[I usually don't drink, but today I'm making an exception.]
He spoke as if he had made a huge sacrifice, completely ignoring the fact that Duan Changchuan had to take medicine every day and could not drink alcohol at all.
The boy was so angry that his hands were shaking in his sleeves and his face was turning pale...
Bai Su directly took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
The movements were crisp and clear.
"Your Majesty is taking medicine, and Doctor Fang has warned you not to drink alcohol. I will drink this cup for your Majesty. When your Majesty recovers, I will give you this cup of wine again. How do you think?"
Before the Regent could say anything, the Queen Mother was already unhappy.
"Medicine should be taken in the morning and evening. It just so happens that he hasn't taken it yet at night. It's okay to drink a glass of wine. In my opinion, the prince doesn't have any symptoms. Wasn't he competing with others on the Cuju field two days ago? I heard that Doctor Fang also warned him not to move too much, but the prince didn't follow the doctor's advice."
"Oh, the Queen Mother is really amazing. She can tell if someone has any disease just by looking at them. From now on, don't go to the doctor to see a doctor. Just let the Queen Mother take a look."
"You! How dare you speak to me like that!"
The two of them started arguing with each other.
No one noticed that the young man sitting in the middle clenched his fists.
His lips were tightly pursed, and his lower lip turned blue from biting.
"That's enough. It's just a glass of wine, I'll drink it."
He said.
He snatched the wine jug from Changle's hand and drank it down violently.
Then he threw the completely empty wine jug to the ground with a bang.
"Is that enough for this time?"

Who dares to touch my regent GB [through the book]
The spoiled empress x the beautiful, strong and miserable regent who turned evil after rebirth
*
Jiang Linyue read a political novel in which the empress had the same name as her, but she did all kinds of inhuman things.
The late emperor passed away, leaving behind a 10-year-old princess. On his deathbed, the late emperor appointed Xiao Yu, a relative of the emperor, to assist the empress in ascending the throne and named him regent.
However, the empress listened to the instigation of treacherous ministers and began her journey to seize power with the regent at the age of 14.
In the court, ministers formed cliques for personal gain, and the empress could not distinguish right from wrong. The regent was eventually defeated in the game and was even seduced by the empress and became her lover.
The once brilliant and talented regent could no longer bear the humiliation and jumped off the city wall, ending his life hastily.
-
Jiang Linyue watched and cursed all night long and only fell asleep in the morning.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting on the high dragon throne in the Golden Palace.
And all the ministers, and the regent below the first rank, were looking at her.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" asked the Prime Minister.
As a result, the whole court saw the empress, who had always been against the regent, suddenly lift the pearl curtain and say, "I... I think the regent is really a pillar of the country!"
The ministers were shocked by the full of vigor...
The echo of the song lingered in the air, and all the court officials were unable to recover for a month.
