Chapter 252 The last page, the last name
He Yi was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It seems that the Emperor cannot be rushed in this matter."
“…”
"The Emperor comes from a military background and has served in the army. For him, strict laws and punishments ensure discipline. Therefore, he has only experienced the benefits of strict laws and punishments and has never suffered from their harm."
“…”
"He has to suffer a loss at least once."
"Suffer a loss?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Who can let the emperor suffer?"
“…”
"Besides, to the Emperor, human life is nothing. What kind of 'humiliation' would it take for him to learn his lesson?"
He said, shaking his head: "I think it's difficult."
He Yi was silent for a long time, then looked up at the Huagai Hall. Zhu Feng was listening to the officials' reports on their work. He didn't say anything, but there was a slight glint in his eyes.

Zhu Feng handled government affairs in the Huagai Hall until the afternoon, when all officials left the Huagai Hall.
He himself was already exhausted and sweating.
Although some officials had raised the issue of how to deal with Prince Jing, he had not yet made up his mind, so whenever anything mentioned Prince Jing Zhuo, he simply brushed it off.
But once something is left in your heart, it is not so easy to let it go.
After everyone left, he sat alone behind the imperial desk. He felt like his head was about to explode and couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead.
At this moment, there was another sound of light footsteps coming from outside.
His brow furrowed. "Who?"
A soft voice said, "Your Majesty, it's my concubine."
Looking up, it was Queen Xu Miaoyin.
Behind her followed the palace maid Chun'er, who also seemed to be holding a booklet. Zhu Feng asked, "Why, does the Queen also have something important to discuss with me today?"
Xu Miaoyin stepped forward and bowed, then said softly, "If Your Majesty is tired, I can come again tomorrow."
After saying this, he pretended to leave.
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Xu Miaoyin then smiled and stepped forward, saying, "It has been several months since the Emperor ascended the throne, but the harem only contains me and a few of my sisters. We are weak in virtue and talent, and are unable to share the Emperor's worries. Therefore, I have decided to select beauties for the Emperor to enrich his harem."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly and looked up at him.
As soon as Xu Miaoyin raised her hand, Chun'er hurriedly handed over the imperial canon in her hand. She took it and said, "These are the good sons of good families that I have carefully selected for Your Majesty these days. Please have a look."
“…”
"If there are no problems, we will choose a day to let them enter the palace."
Zhu Feng's breath sank for a moment.
Draft... ?
He hasn't thought about it yet.
When he was a prince, he took his maid Xinqing as his concubine. Later, he married into the Xu family and married Xu Miaoyin. The concubines and side wives that followed were either bestowed by Emperor Gao or sent by the government through marriage alliances.
He himself had hardly given it any thought.
However, it is true that for an emperor, having only a few of them in his harem is too few.
But just now, when the Queen mentioned the selection of concubines, a face appeared in his mind instinctively.
A face under the starry sky, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Just thinking about this, his breath sank again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "It's my responsibility."
Zhu Feng reached out and took the list, unfolding it and taking a look.
They are all unfamiliar names, but the surnames are very familiar. They are probably daughters of officials.
However, as I read on, I saw the last page, the last name——
