In the eyes of the empress dowager, Yuwen Ran no longer insisted on making Gu Yanyue the empress, probably because Yuwen Ran had completely given up on such an idea.
What's more, the Queen Mother also thought that she had succeeded.
Looking at the timid and somewhat embarrassed Shangguan Yi, the Queen Mother carefully examined her from head to toe. Then, without thinking, she said to Shangguan Yi, "Yier, you should spend more time with His Majesty these days."
When Shangguan Yi heard the Queen Mother say this, she was slightly stunned at first.
But Shangguan Yi still pretended to be reserved and said, "Queen Dowager, I'm sure you know that His Majesty has never been very fond of Yi'er."
Having said that, Shangguan Yi did not reject the Queen Mother's proposal.
She was indeed being attentive to Yuwen Ran in both open and covert ways.
Yuwen Ran knew that Shangguan Yi had an intention, so he sent people to drive Shangguan Yi out without thinking, and never thought of keeping her by his side.
The next day in the court.
When Yuwen Ran looked at the court officials again, his attitude became more and more firm. "Today, I will enthrone A Yue as the Lady of the State."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for everyone to hear clearly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present started talking about it.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Why do you suddenly want to confer the title of Madam of the Nation upon the Empress?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent before..."
Hearing the voices of such discussions, Yuwen Ran still maintained his previous calmness and composure.
It is precisely because Yuwen Ran has thought these things through that he no longer allows these people to judge right and wrong.
"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to continue to persuade me."
After saying this, Yuwen Ran snorted coldly and stood up suddenly.
As he was leaving, Yuwen Ran vaguely remembered something and simply continued, "Next, I will hold a grand ceremony to confer the title of Grand Duke of Yue. If you are dissatisfied with this, you don't have to come."
These words forced everyone to remain silent.
The Queen Mother obviously had not expected that Yuwen Ran would have such a trick now.
She also once mistakenly thought that Yuwen Ran would not have any other ideas at all.
But judging from the current situation, Yuwen Ran has never really given up completely.
Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to further confer a title on Gu Yanyue, giving her the title of Lady of the Nation.
Recalling this incident, the Queen Mother was very angry.
At the enthronement ceremony, everyone was as respectful as before.
When seeing Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue walking side by side on the high seat, many people sighed in secret.
After all, no matter what, they could see that Yuwen Ran was indeed deeply in love with Gu Yanyue. Otherwise, Yuwen Ran would not have to hang himself on a tree.
Remembering Xiao Yuntun's identity as a little princess, Yuwen Ran simply took over the gold mine in the suburbs under Xiao Yuntun's name.
Seeing that some people around him were feeling indignant about this, Yuwen Ran never took their comments to heart. After all, no matter what, these were still Yuwen Ran's business.
It is not the turn of others to point fingers and make comments here.
Precisely because Gu Yanyue was not reinstated to the throne, the young ladies from the aristocratic families in Kyoto inevitably wanted to take this opportunity to climb up the social ladder and become a phoenix, and also hoped to enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.
However, Yu Wenran was determined and destroyed their thoughts one by one.
We watched as Huimin Medical Bureau gradually got back on track.
Qin Ruoruo was naturally happy about this.
After finishing all the things at hand, Qin Ruoruo was about to stand up when she saw He Fangyan who came to visit her specially. He was holding a pastry from the teahouse in his hand.
"Ruoruo, I know you've been busy all day, so I bought you some osmanthus cake today."
Qin Ruoruo's cheeks flushed unnaturally. She nodded gently, took the cake, and slowly agreed, "Thank you very much, Mr. He."
Even now, Qin Ruoruo still calls him Mr. He.
He Fangyan felt more or less dissatisfied, and even felt that such a title forced the relationship between the two of them to become more distant and indifferent.
But considering that Qin Ruoruo has always been an extremely slow-paced woman, he didn't dare to make any requests rashly.
He Fangyan was afraid that whatever he said would make Qin Ruoruo unhappy.
At this moment, He Fangyan just slowly came back to his senses and looked over with some anticipation.
"Ruoruo, try this pastry while it's still hot and see how it tastes."
When Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran appeared, they saw Qin Ruoruo and He Fangyan sitting together.
Seeing the two of them getting along so naturally, Gu Yanyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around and looked at Yu Wenran, she deliberately reached out and took his arm, then slowly walked forward: "Ruoruo, Master He, congratulations on both of you being able to achieve your goal."
When Qin Ruoruo heard Gu Yanyue's blunt words, her face turned red and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Not only Gu Yanyue was congratulating the two of them, but Yu Wenran was also doing the same.
"Fang Yan, I didn't expect that you could actually pursue Miss Qin now, but you should also treat her well from now on."
After saying that, Yuwen Ran reached out and patted He Fangyan on the shoulder.
Yu Wenran's implication was that he was reminding He Fangyan to take good care of Qin Ruoruo.
After learning that Huimin Medical Department was safe and sound, Gu Yanyue went to Fengji Restaurant.
When she saw Yu Fei's brother, Gu Yanyue noticed that his eyes were always evasive and he looked like he had a lot on his mind.
"What happened at Fengji Restaurant recently?"
When faced with Gu Yanyue's question, the man only came to his senses belatedly. He waved his hands repeatedly, then laughed twice, "In reply to the Queen, I have been doing my best to look after the business of Gu Fengji Restaurant, and everything is safe and sound."
Although this was the case, Gu Yanyue always felt that he was hiding something.
But Gu Yanyue still had to give him some face.
"If that's the case, I can continue to rest assured and hand over the entire Fengji Restaurant to you."
Thinking of the fact that Concubine Yu had been lying in bed for many days claiming to be ill, Gu Yanyue was somewhat concerned about her situation. After returning to the palace from Fengji Restaurant, she decided to go and check on Concubine Yu.
