As the cold wind seeped through the cracks of the palace, dispersing the scent of sandalwood in the room, a letter carried by a pigeon from the border was carefully presented to Chao Qinglan by a eunuch dressed in deep blue court attire.
As Chao Qinglan unfolded the dusty envelope, delicate fingertips gently traced every word handwritten by Xiao Yan on the paper, as if feeling the exhaustion and sweat from the distant border.
In the letter, Xiao Yan not only detailed the severe situation at the border and the scenes of the soldiers fighting day and night, but also revealed a deep trust and expectation for Chao Qinglan's governance, as well as boundless hope for the future of Li Shu-yi's children.
Chao Qinglan sat quietly at the exquisite Sandalwood desk, and as the candlelight flickered, the reflection of the letter appeared in her eyes. After reading the letter, her mood became both firm and complex.
She knows that every day Xiao Yan spends on the border is a close brush with death, while every decision she makes in the capital city affects the fate and well-being of the entire country. She tightly holds the letter, a hint of determination and resolve flashing in her eyes. She must do even better, not only for Xiao Yan, but for the entire Liang Kindom.
In the evening, in a corner of the palace, Chao Qinglan and her personal maid Beyue, along with several trusted ministers, gathered in secret. Inside the room, the soft glow of the glass lamps illuminated every face filled with anticipation and concern.
Chao Qinglan spoke up: "Everyone, as mentioned in the letter, the situation at the border is severe, and we in the capital must spare no effort. We not only need to maintain domestic stability, but also ensure logistical support for the front lines."
A senior minister asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do? The supply at the border requires time and effort, and the enemy's situation is unpredictable."
Chao Qinglan's eyes were bright as he replied, "We must strengthen our ties with neighboring friendly countries, engage in diplomacy, and jointly confront the threat of Northern Wei.
At the same time, we also need to promote agricultural development domestically to ensure an adequate food supply. In addition, we need to increase the production and investment of weapons to enhance the combat capability of our military."
Beyue then added softly, "Your Majesty, we cannot ignore the hearts of the people. Rumors and unrest have quietly spread among the people, and we need to release accurate information in a timely manner to stabilize the people's hearts. At the same time, we need to strengthen relief and support for the suffering people, so that they can feel the warmth and care of the court."
Chao Qinglan nodded in agreement, her eyes revealing determination and contemplation: " Beyue is right. We need to take practical actions to make every Liang Kindom citizen feel the strength and warmth of the court. No matter how difficult the battlefield ahead may be, we must hold the rear and ensure the long-term stability of the country."
After the meeting, Chao Qinglan walked alone to the corridor of the palace, with the gentle night breeze and twinkling stars. She gazed at the night sky, her thoughts swirling, and suddenly let out a bitter smile. Fortunately, she was not an ordinary woman. In fact, in terms of character, she was still broad-minded. She was not inferior to Xiao Yan, but she lost because she was a woman.
If not for this, it would be really difficult for a group of women to bear such heavy responsibilities. This is truly a test for her, but at the same time, she is eager to give it a try.
She understands that what she is undertaking is not only the weight of a country, but also the hopes and future of millions of people.
Not only do you need to become a wise queen, but also a strong leader, accompanying Xiao Yan through the ups and downs of the journey in Liang Kindom.
As the war at the border of Liang Kindom intensifies, the entire country is shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty.
However, life in the palace must go on, and Chao Qinglan knows well that as the queen, she must not only pay attention to the overall situation of the country, but also maintain the stability of the harem.
One day, Chao Qinglan learned that several concubines were in dispute over the use of the palace garden. This was originally a small matter, but in the tense atmosphere, it could potentially lead to greater unrest. In order to prevent the conflict from escalating, Chao Qinglan decided to personally mediate.
She invited all the involved concubines to the pavilion in the garden. A gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness, and Chao Qinglan's gaze was calm and resolute.
She first listened to the statements of each concubine, and each person's emotions and positions were different, but Chao Qinglan patiently listened without showing any bias.
Then, she began to speak softly, "Sisters, we are all part of Liang Kindom, whether it is the emperor and soldiers on the front lines, or us in the palace, we should all contribute to the stability of the country. The dispute in the garden is just a small matter, but it also reflects that most people sometimes lack tolerance and understanding when dealing with problems."
Her words were gentle yet powerful, causing all the concubines to involuntarily fall into contemplation.
Chao Qinglan continued, "Each of us has our own difficulties and hardships. If we can consider issues from each other's perspectives, many disputes can be easily resolved. Today, let's take this as an opportunity to learn to understand and tolerate each other."
In the end, under the mediation of Chao Qinglan, the consorts reached a consensus, deciding to allocate the time for using the garden and mutually promising to prioritize harmony in the future, jointly maintaining the harmony and stability of the palace.
Chao Qinglan's wisdom and gentle words, like the spring sunshine, warm and yet powerful, brought an unprecedented sense of stability to everyone's hearts.
And she also listens to everyone's opinions fairly, rewarding good deeds and punishing mistakes, treating everyone equally regardless of their relationship with her. Although she is the queen, she completely lacks the scheming and extreme behavior often associated with women handling matters, which has earned the trust and respect of everyone. With the successful resolution of the disputes in the harem, Chao Qinglan's decision-making and impartial behavior have increasingly elevated her prestige in the harem.
She not only solved the surface problem, but also educated every member of the harem through this incident on how to self-regulate and solve similar problems in the future. This influence far exceeds the scope of a single event.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the harem became noticeably more harmonious. When the concubines met in the garden, there was no longer the awkward avoidance, but instead they would stop, exchange a few words about caring for flowers and plants, or share some small secrets from the palace. Chao Qinglan's handling not only resolved the current problem, but also fostered a good atmosphere of mutual understanding and support among them.
During this time, Chao Qinglan has not forgotten to pay attention to Li Shu-yi's physical condition. Despite her busy national affairs, she always finds time to have afternoon tea with Li Shu-yi, chatting about light topics, making Li Shu-yi feel the caring of a sister.
This warm atmosphere also fills Li Shu-yi with anticipation and joy for the upcoming freshman year.
As time passed, Chao Qinglan not only demonstrated her talent in politics, but also established a kind and wise image in the harem.
Her behavior became a role model in the harem, and the concubines no longer fought over trivial matters, but learned to respect and understand each other. As a result, the harem became more harmonious, and everyone contributed to the stability and prosperity of Liang Kindom.
And Chao Qinglan herself has also grown from these daily trivial matters. She has gained a deeper understanding of the responsibility as a queen, not only to pay attention to the overall situation of the country, but also to take care of the feelings and needs of every individual.
As a result, her heart has become broader, and she can maintain a peaceful mind when dealing with national affairs or family matters, solving problems with wisdom and patience.
