When Su Guo entered, she clearly saw that the expressions of the elders were not good, but she simply walked to the main seat, said sorry, and sat down.

There were three Grand Secretaries in total. In fact, since the Empress assumed personal rule, they no longer had the right to interfere in many matters. However, now that a new heir has emerged, all…

They said it was fine again. When Su Guo was young, they were only in their forties, and now they are quite old. She knows the personalities of these three quite well.

Stubborn and rigid, adhering to royal dignity and etiquette as dogma, no matter how many times you apologize for your mistake, it will be useless.

Upon seeing Su Guo sit down, one of them, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito, stepped forward. "Your Highness Lan, observing etiquette is the most basic requirement for an empress. At least Her Majesty has never been late. You're late on your very first day; shouldn't you..."

Before the Grand Secretary could finish speaking, Su Guo laughed. Did he really think she was a fool? Su Chen had been late for morning classes countless times.

Grand Secretary: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing," Su Guo said, concealing a smile. "Please continue."

Seeing her lazy demeanor, the Grand Secretary simply flicked his sleeve and said, "I'm not going to say anything more. It would be better to just give this royal family to the Lu family."

Seeing this, the other person's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "If Your Highness has any questions, you can ask. There's no need for this attitude. If you feel that the three of us are unworthy of our positions, we will leave."

Su Guo wanted to hear those words. She wasn't a child. "I think the prerequisite for being the heir is having royal blood. As for the basic requirements for an empress, as long as I don't go crazy like the previous empress by conducting scientific experiments or trying to undermine the old heroes, it should be fine. What do you think?"

Compared to her, Su Chen is just an empress who has already been deposed. What's there to say?

"Alright, if you need anything to study today, or if you need any documents, just bring them over. If you think I didn't do a good job," Su Guo shrugged, indicating that she didn't care. "Then you guys do it yourselves."

The three Grand Secretaries: ...

"As expected of country bumpkins, they have no manners. I really don't know how the council elects its members, it's simply..."

The three ministers were so angry that they flung their sleeves and left. The female official standing nearby saw this and kept her eyes down, remaining silent.

"Ha! A bunch of old fogies acting like they're entitled because of their age." Su Guo quietly looked at the female official beside her. "Bring in the documents, didn't you hear me?"

"Yes, immediately."

As the lady-in-waiting went out, she bumped into Lord Wei. Wei Ming blinked, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Is His Highness Lan inside?"

"Here I am."

The female official bowed and hurriedly left. She was a little curious about Wei Ming's appearance, but the most important thing now was to get the documents.

Hearing the knock, Su Guo raised her eyelids and said, "Come in."

Wei Ming didn't know what he was thinking; he just somehow ended up inside. The moment he saw Su Guo, he froze, completely stunned by those eyes…

Su Guo found this look extremely offensive and spoke without any politeness, "Lord Wei seems to be one of His Majesty's men. What are you doing here?"

Wei Ming coughed lightly to clear his throat. Although he was in his forties, he was well-maintained and did not look very old.

He couldn't just tell Su Guo, "I am your father."

“Your mother and I were childhood playmates. I knew you were here, so I came to see you.”
