Chapter 533: A Joke
As the morning court session ended, the news that Yue Fuli had been named regent spread rapidly throughout the capital. Upon hearing this news, the people in the city were in an uproar.
They were no strangers to Yue Fuli's name. Not long ago, they heard that she had avenged her father by killing the murderer who had killed her father.
I thought the emperor would definitely not let her go for what she did. He actually sent someone to recall her to the capital to punish her. However, later on, I heard that she was killed by bandits.
But it had only been a short time, and she had appeared again, and in this way. How old was she, perhaps a teenager, and yet she was appointed regent by the emperor?
A teenage regent must be very powerful.
The people only saw the surface and thought that Yue Fuli was very impressive to be the regent.
But the aristocratic and noble families had many thoughts. They knew that the emperor would never appoint a teenager as regent. Yue Fuli was not only young, but also a woman, which made it even more impossible.
But this impossible thing has become possible, and it is hard for everyone not to think too much about it.
Everyone's biggest suspicion was that Yue Fuli must have some leverage over the Emperor. Some well-informed individuals speculated that Yue Fuli might have the Emperor's will. Otherwise, how could the Emperor be so easygoing as to allow Yue Fuli to become the Regent?
In the Dark Tower, the old lady also knew about Yue Fuli being named the Regent, and was saying to Fang Jiu, "I didn't expect what A Li said was actually true. I thought she was just kidding me."
"Old Madam, when has the eldest lady ever lied to you? Besides, the eldest lady is capable, so it's only natural for her to be the regent."
"You're right. I'm her grandmother, but I don't understand her as well as you do." The old lady smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although she found that Yue Fuli had changed after the house was searched, she always felt that Yue Fuli was still the little girl who was raised in seclusion.
At the Song family, Du Ruolan also heard from the servants that Yue Fuli had been appointed as the regent. Upon hearing this news, the first person she thought of was the young man she met at the Jokhang Temple that day.
He really looked like Yue Fuli. At that time, she suspected that the other person was Yue Fuli.
Now it seems that she is Yue Fuli, just dressed in men's clothes.
Du Ruolan couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she thought that Yue Fuli had become the regent, but she didn't get any benefits at all because of the falling out with her.
If she had known that Yue Fuli would have such an opportunity, she would never have fallen out with her.
Like Du Ruolan, Mrs. Song, Guo, also felt the same regret. She said to her trusted nanny, "If I had known Yue Fuli would rise to such a high position, I would never have asked Jing Yang to break off the engagement with her. Now that Yue Fuli has become the regent, not only will our Song family not benefit from her, we might even be targeted."
Thinking of this, Guo instructed the nanny again, "Go and remind the Crown Prince's Consort to go out less recently, so as not to offend the Regent and bring disaster to the family."
"Yes, I will tell the Crown Princess right away."
Song Jingyang had naturally heard about Yue Fuli being named regent and found it absurd. Yue Fuli was his former fiancée, and he knew her very well.
Therefore, he did not think Yue Fuli was worthy of being the regent. He simply thought the emperor was joking. Perhaps soon, Yue Fuli, the regent, would step down.
