7. The concubines are all at the mountain gate.

After the morning assembly, Long Xiaoyuan returned to Heaven and Earth Palace. At that time, Shi Qingzhou had just woken up.

"Your Majesty." Shi Qingzhou paid his respects to the other party.

Long Xiaoyuan quickly helped him up. "Qingzhou, from now on, don't even bother bowing. It's not necessary."

Shi Qingzhou paused and nodded. "Yes, this subject understands."

"You don't have to bother with me. You and I can just address each other like that." Long Xiaoyuan said again.

Shi Qingzhou slightly curled his lips. "Alright, I understand."

Long Xiaoyuan heard this and was immediately happy, "QingZhou hasn't had breakfast yet, right? Are you hungry? "

"I'm not hungry." Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly.

Long Xiaoyuan held the other's hand as they walked towards the dining table. Then, he instructed the Chief Eunuch below to prepare a meal.

Soon, breakfast was served.

Shi Qingzhou enjoyed himself last night, so naturally, his diet could only be a little lighter.

After a warm breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan followed Shi Qingzhou to the study at the back. Long Xiaoyuan had already called for people to bring the report here. They would send it here in a while, but there were some surprises when they went in.

There were a few paintings hanging in the study. They were all mountains and rivers, but Long Xiaoyuan liked the scene.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but walk up to the landscape paintings. "Qingzhou, these paintings …"

Shi Qingzhou said, "I drew it."

Long Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up. It really was drawn by him! Long Xiaoyuan touched it lovingly, "Qingzhou, hang a few and put them in our bedroom."

Our bedroom... Shi Qingzhou paused, his eyes flashed, and then he nodded. "It's my honor to be liked by the emperor. I'll have someone hang two of them right now."

"Sure, sure." Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "Qingzhou, I don't have any in my dorm, how about I hang up two of them?"

"Yes," Shi Qingzhou replied softly. "Alright."

Very soon, Chief Eunuch Zhou Qing was announced.

After taking the five paintings, Long Xiaoyuan smiled and was just about to say something when such a voice came from outside.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress, Imperial Consort Whirling Sun Palace, Imperial Concubine Zhaoyang Palace, Imperial Consort Deshui Palace, and Consort Huan Palace. The Blue Concubine of the Jiu Ye Palace, or the Consort of the Yang Palace, Yu Zhaoyi of the Thousand Return Palace, Lomé of the Hundred Origin Palace, and the Water Palace's Beauty Autumn is here to pay a visit to the Empress. "

Long Xiaoyuan's head hurt when he heard the names of so many concubines. However, he also noticed a problem. These people were the 'active' concubines in the palace.

In other words, all of the concubines with 'influence' were present here!

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan. Long Xiaoyuan truly felt a little awkward. Blessed by the Qi people, in fact, he had never thought about it. Lives are the most important thing! Furthermore, he was even more uninterested in those concubines who only knew how to fight for favors and were extremely scheming!

After last night, he felt that Shi Qingzhou alone was enough!

So, why are these women here to show off their presence! I want to keep my life, okay?

Seeing Shi Qingzhou looking at him, Long Xiaoyuan immediately said with a guilty conscience, "Queen, I'm not the one who called them here!"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly upon hearing that. He smiled faintly. "The emperor is joking."

"Cough, cough." Long Xiaoyuan coughed. "Oh, Qingzhou, I will not go. Since they have come, you should go and meet them. Just send them away."

Shi Qingzhou couldn't help but ask as he looked at Long Xiaoyuan. The emperor is willing? "

Long Xiaoyuan said righteously, "Of course! You are the Queen! My queen! the only person in the palace! "

Shi Qingzhou paused for a moment and then slowly smiled. Yes, this subject understands. This official will go out for a moment. "

"Mm, go ahead." Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand.

After Shi Qingzhou left, Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and decided to secretly listen to the side of the wall. In his memories, his concubines were all crazed to the point of being a mess.
