The latest chapter of the web novel can be found on Baidu or Sohu by searching for "Shu Huang". That night, Su Jing said that she would let him decide what to do about Shu Fei and really did not bring up the matter again.

  For many days afterwards, there was no news coming out, as if nothing had happened at all. Others were secretly ridiculing Su Jing's overestimation of her own abilities.

  But Su Jingxu didn't mind at all and hadn't taken it to heart

  The more abnormal it is, the more it explains some other problems. She thought that Zong Zhengjin would absolutely not let it go and must be bound by the affairs of the previous dynasty, unable to punish Shu Fei, but only temporarily.

  Su Jing's own fault, Shu Fei standing on the palace rules is reasonable, others can't say anything, and now that Su Jing is in favor, others would rather hope that Su Jing receives some punishment.

  But Zong Zhengjin came to Guan Yu's palace every day, and others wanted to gossip but didn't dare.

  As for Du Wan's matter, Su Jing asked for Zong Zhengjin's opinion in a subtle way and then had her confined for half a year. However, secretly, she sent someone to take care of the Zhijian Garden, so her days were not very bad.

  It's probably a good outcome for her too.

  Su Jingxiao actually believed that the person who harmed her was not Du Yuanyan, if it wasn't for Yao's timely discovery, Du Yuanyan wouldn't have really wanted to harm her, but rather wanted to take this opportunity to gain her trust.

  However, afterwards she did not confess the mastermind behind her back, Su Jing also did not force her to know or not know the mastermind, for her it was not very important anyway, so she just let it go.

  Because in her view everyone has a mind to harm her, some have already implemented it and others are planning it.

  The days passed slowly, and it was unknown whether Zong Zhengjin had said something to the Empress Dowager. Zong Zhengjin told her not to go to Cining Palace to pay respects, so Su Jingyun didn't go either. However, unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager did not show any anger, but instead sent someone to deliver several medicinal materials for pregnant women to supplement their bodies.

  Su Jingxiang couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager was after and simply stopped thinking about it, putting the matter behind her.

  It's been over three months since Su Jingxiu. The weather is also slowly entering the hot season, but fortunately, there are enough examples, so it doesn't feel too hot.

  She has been pregnant until now without any particularly strong pregnancy reactions, no vomiting or nausea, and no insomnia or vivid dreams. She eats well and sleeps well until now.

  If it weren't for her belly slowly bulging out a bit, she would have definitely forgotten that she was pregnant.

  It's not just her, even Zong Zhengjin can't help but feel a little envious every time he sees her leisurely and quiet demeanor. Every day, she doesn't need to do anything, just sit there waiting for meal times, and when it's time to sleep, she lies down and sleeps. Occasionally, she is forced to go for a walk, but can't walk for long before getting tired.

  He is indeed an ancestor who has risen from his humble beginnings.

  "The empress just now received a message from the eunuch Su that the emperor has many matters to attend to today and it's not necessary for you to wait up late, so please go to sleep early." Dai Man walked in with a smile.

  She was initially punished with a short kneeling time and timely treatment, so her legs did not leave any serious illness. Now she has almost recovered to her previous state.

  Su Jing nodded slightly, meaning that the emperor was a laid-back person. These days, the imperial court had been busy preparing for the reception of the Siamese envoy. Zong Zhengjin had been extremely busy lately.

  For several days in a row, when he came to the palace, Su Jing had already fallen asleep and woken up again. He advised him that it was too late and there was no need to go to the back palace, but he just smiled and passed by. After a few times, Su Jing also stopped mentioning it.

  He came she went is welcome

  "Do you know when the envoy from Siam will arrive?"

  Dai Man shook her head "I don't know when it will stop raining in the south, and even if I did, rain can delay our journey"

  Su Jing nodded and didn't take it to heart. If the envoy really came, presumably the emperor would prepare a banquet to welcome him and wash away his dust, and then he would naturally know.

  What makes her a bit resentful is that the Kingdom of Siam, which would later become Thailand, doesn't know if this Siam is the future Siam.

  Suddenly thought of something "Is Siam in the south of Chu Zhou country? I remember that the vassal land of King Yong'an was also in the south, right?"

  Dai Man thought for a moment, "I'm not too clear either, I just heard other palace people mention that Siam is rich in aquatic products. Isn't the princess fond of eating water ink fish? That must be a tribute from Siam."

  Siam is a vassal state of Zhou, but not in the classical sense. Su Jingfan has never understood how many countries are on this continent, or if anyone has ever made an accurate count.

  She could understand only a few countries near Chu Zhou State

  The Chu Zhou country is not the richest country, but it is the strongest country. On the other hand, Siam belongs to a small country with less land and population, but because of its rich products, it is richer than Chu Zhou country.

  The Zhou state of Chu would send envoys to visit every other year, while the Siamese kingdom would also send envoys to pay tribute every other year. The two countries took turns doing so, resulting in Chu receiving tribute from Siam every year.

  This year happens to be the time for Siam's visit

  The southern and western parts of Chu Zhou country are close to the sea, so Siam must be in one of these positions.

  "What happened to King Yong'an?"

  Yong'an King had previously conspired with Yu's family to rebel, and the entire Yu family was executed. However, Yong'an King was only imprisoned, as the Emperor took pity on him due to his youth and ignorance. As one of the only two remaining bloodlines of the imperial family, he was spared his life.

  Therefore, all the people in the world are grateful for the emperor's kindness and praise him without end.

  "Empress Dowager Cixi is still under house arrest and there has been no news about her." Dai Man didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, but he replied anyway.

  Su Jing let out a sigh, ever since she got pregnant, she felt that her brain was becoming increasingly useless. She used to think of herself as relatively clever, but now all she wanted to do was sigh.

  After all, people still can't be too comfortable

  It is still very necessary to think of danger in times of peace.

  "Since His Majesty won't be coming so early, let's have dinner served later then."

  Yes

  Zichen Hall

  "What do you all think is the most suitable person to receive the envoy from Siam?" Zong Zhengjin asked, sitting at the top and scanning the people standing below.

  The following person, Shen Daoren, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that since the Emperor of Siam has said that this time's tribute is several times more than in previous years, our country should also receive the visiting envoys with a different standard to show our friendly sentiments."

  "I humbly think that it is quite the opposite. The kingdom of Siam is only a vassal state of our country, and the increase in tribute is due to the fact that when our envoy visited last year, they also brought many gifts. Therefore, our country should not indulge the arrogance of Siam by receiving their envoys with equal protocol, which would be tantamount to proclaiming our own power." Qiao Taishi said at the right moment, showing no weakness.

  "Tai Shi's words are quite different from what has been revealed about our country," said Shen Gongbao, but before he could finish speaking, someone else interrupted him.

  "Mr. Shen's words are indeed unconsidered."

  “”

  Zong Zhengjin rubbed his eyebrows and stood aside, as if he was far away from the noisy crowd, quietly watching.

  Until patience is exhausted, finally blurting out "That's enough, what kind of place do you think this is?"

  Although the voice was not loud, everyone's heart was shocked for a moment before falling silent and lowering their heads.

  "What does Master Meng think?" Zong Zhengjin very impolitely shifted the conversation to someone else who was watching the play with him.

  Meng Wentian took a step forward, cupped his hands and bowed "I beg to differ with Your Majesty, I think both of the two gentlemen's words make sense"

  Zong Zhengjin was clearly dissatisfied with his conciliatory approach. "What does Lord Meng think should be done?"

  Meng Wen Tian's gaze slowly shifted to the people beside him, ignoring their raised eyebrows and exchanged smiles. "In response to Your Majesty, I think that the reception of the Siamese envoys does not necessarily require the Ministry of Rites to send someone to receive them. Instead, it can be changed to other personnel. This way, on one hand, it shows our country's emphasis on this matter; on the other hand, without raising the level of treatment, it also saves expenses and is beneficial to the national treasury, which is currently empty. I think that if we can avoid unnecessary expenses, then we should."

  "We think this is very good, I don't know if you gentlemen have any opinions on the selection of this person." Zong Zhengjin nodded in agreement.

  Several people next to them saw that the two of them had decided on the matter with just a few words, and they were stunned. But suddenly encountering such a question, their inner selves hoped that the chosen person would be from their own faction after all, this was a lucrative position.

  But when meeting the emperor's faint gaze, they didn't dare to speak out loud. After all, the emperor was increasingly consolidating his power and rarely adopted the opinions of these old ministers. If they spoke rashly, they feared it would provoke the dragon's anger and be counterproductive.

  Hesitating for a moment gave others an opportunity, and by the time they reacted, it was too late to intervene, and things were decided as they were.

  "I humbly think that the person selected should not be an old minister in the court, but rather a new person such as this year's imperial scholar who was personally appointed by Your Majesty. Give them the opportunity to hone their skills and achieve the ultimate goal with minimal time." Meng Wentian said slowly

  Just as others wanted to question him, Shangshu suddenly spoke up, "But they are always lacking in experience. If there's a place where things aren't done well, wouldn't that lose face for the Chu Zhou country?"

  "Meng Wen Tian hooked the corner of his mouth and said, 'Your Majesty, I think experience is all about accumulation. If you're afraid they'll make mistakes, then let someone supervise them from behind to grasp the overall situation. This person is quite suitable, Shen and Qiao are both very suitable.'"

  Before they could speak, Zong Zhengjin took the lead again and said, "Let's do it this way."

  Chonghua Palace

  "What's going on here?" Qing Xie anxiously asked, on the verge of tears and completely flustered.

  Lu Jing was also secretly frightened by what happened that night. She understood the current state of Niang Niang more clearly than anyone else, and it seemed to be related to Dao.

  Qiao Jingyu slowly hooked up the corner of her mouth "Isn't this good? The palace is very delighted"
