In the royal garden.

When Empress Du saw that the sun was just right, she arranged a flower banquet and invited all the concubines to enjoy it.

Concubine Qiao, as her best friend, naturally sat next to Queen Du at the moment.

Except Concubine Yi, Concubine Lan, Concubine Mo, Jin Zhaoyi and a few other good concubines.

Empress Du also invited Liao Jieyu.

The third prince took the Imperial Hospital to take good care of Liao Jieyu's condition. After the last half month of treatment, Liao Jieyu has improved.

He no longer speaks "Abaaaba", but his eyes are still a little dull when looking at people.

"Sister Liao, eat this." Concubine Yi took the initiative to hand a plate of flower cakes to Liao Jieyu.

Liao Jieyu stared blankly at the pastries.

Concubines are used to it.

Concubine Yi said: "It's better to be a noble concubine, the emperor will accompany my sister home to visit relatives, and it will last three or four days."

"The concubine and sister can even think about bringing back cakes from the Four Seasons Sugar Shop, but the emperor, he has nothing!"

The concubine at the side nodded along: "That's right, if you want to talk about being considerate, the emperor can't keep up with the imperial concubine."

Concubine Mo's temper was indifferent, and she followed suit: "Aren't you used to the emperor being unreliable? Raising your son well and not being as ruthless as the emperor is the biggest improvement."

Lan Fei smiled softly: "You are right."

Concubine Qiao put down her teacup: "You dare to make up the emperor's bad words. If the emperor hears it, I will not help you sisters to cover up."

Concubine Yi and the rest of the concubines all smiled embarrassingly.

"Farewell, Sister Concubine, you can't leave us alone, otherwise we will have to beg the empress."

Empress Du likes to eat sweet cakes from Siji Tang Shop very much, and she will taste them quietly, with a gentle and dignified temperament.

Hearing the words, she smiled: "Speaking of begging, I really have a good thing, and I want to share it with all my sisters."

"A while ago, we asked our younger brothers to exercise their ability to deal with government affairs, but we didn't expect them to perform so well."

"I feel that since everyone has talent, it's better to make good use of it."

"The emperor has been gradually letting go of the court recently, and has slowly handed over all important affairs to prepare for the future succession."

"Taking advantage of this time, I can help the princes win the power in the court. Firstly, let them practice, and secondly, let them have power."

"What do you guys think?"

The concubines fell silent and looked at each other.

After a while, Concubine Qiao was the first to say: "Sister Du, I won't join in the fun."

"My family Nuonuo is married. If I let her manage the government, my son-in-law Siming will not agree. It's too hard."

Queen Du nodded in understanding.

She looked at the other concubines again: "What about you?"

Concubine Yi laughed dryly: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness, but that unbelievable Zitang of my family, he only counts money to make money."

"Let's let someone more capable take on the great power of the court."

Concubine Lan also said: "Yao'er's ambition is to study medicine to save people, but he doesn't have that much interest in government affairs."

Concubine Mo directly shook her head: "My son is not worthy."

Jin Zhaoyi said: "I understand that now I am mainly responsible for the traffic between the Western Regions and Daqi, so I can't be busy anymore."

Everyone showed a lack of interest in power.

Empress Du sincerely wanted to give some power, but the concubines quickly refused, as if seeing a scourge.

In the end, Empress Du had no choice but to smile.

The princes now have their own official positions, but their powers are different, but they are all excellent in their respective fields of responsibility.

It's just that if you want to step out of your own field, it seems a bit overwhelmed.
