Tang Wan was placed in a magnificent palace. Chi Yu held her hand and said, "Everything here is decorated according to your preferences."
"The ceremony of conferring the title of Empress is very complicated. My father just passed away, so I have to observe a year of mourning. Wanwan, will you blame me?"
She rubbed his head: "Isn't it right for me to blame you for what you did? Or am I so unreasonable in your eyes?"
She narrowed her eyes, and Chi Yu inexplicably sensed some dangerous aura: "No, no, my Wanwan is naturally the most reasonable person in the world."
"That's more like it."
…………
"Really?" Chi Yu clasped his hands together and looked at her eagerly.
"Forget it, there's really nothing I can do about you. Come in."
After many days, Chi Yu finally lay down beside her again. He hugged her and felt her soft body: "I must make you fatter."
Hearing this, Tang Wan half-jokingly said, "Men's mouths are deceitful. If I really gain weight, I'm afraid you won't look like this by then."
"How could that be? You're so thin now, it hurts me to see you like that. No matter what you become, I will never despise you."
"He only knows how to say nice things to please people."
"I didn't."
"Okay, okay, go to sleep. I remember you have to go to court tomorrow."
He looked at her smiling face and pecked her gently: "Okay."
He had never thought before that one day, just having someone lying next to him like this would make him so satisfied.
The next day, Chi Yu woke up before dawn.
The palace maids helped him dress and dressed. Seeing that Tang Wan was sleeping soundly, he specifically instructed the palace maids not to call her and to serve her food when she woke up.
The maids in this palace were also old people in the palace. They had never heard that when the emperor got up to attend court, the concubines did not serve him by his side, but continued to sleep soundly.
If it had happened in the past, this would have been criticized, but seeing His Majesty's rosy face and cheerful look, they decided to keep their mouths shut.
Although Chi Yu has only been in office for a few months, he has regained his previous memories and found back what once belonged to him, so now he can handle affairs with ease.
The emperor's pressure was evident in his every move. The palace maids who had always looked down on him lived in fear every day, fearing that he would remember something one day and kill them all.
But Chi Yu was not a man who liked fighting and killing. He knew that these people had only received instructions from his mother. He only gave them a light punishment and did not intend to take their lives.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chi Yu sat upright in a wheelchair, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court."
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report."
Chi Yu nodded: "What's the matter, Lord Lu?"
"Your Majesty, I have heard that you brought back a woman from the common people and are going to anoint her as a noble concubine. Oh, I have heard that too. Perhaps it is all just a rumor."
Chi Yu supported his chin with his hand, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Well, it is indeed a rumor."
He heard a long sigh of relief from the audience and slowly added, "I want to make her the queen, not some imperial concubine."
The entire hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Lord Lu, who was talking to him, fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please reconsider. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Chi Yu: "Master Lu, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"
There's a lot that's wrong with it, okay?
Lord Lu forced a smile and gave a heartfelt admonition: "Your Majesty, that woman is just a peasant girl with no background. How can she be the mother of a country and a role model for women all over the world?"
"Oh? Then, Lord Lu, who do you think is more suitable to be the queen?"
Just when Lord Lu thought he had changed his mind, he added with a smile, "Your adopted daughter?"
"Your Majesty, I have no such intention, Your Majesty."
"That's good. However, I have made up my mind. There is no need to persuade me anymore. She will be my wife in this life."
He now has the silver-armored guards behind him and holds military power in his hands. Not many people dare to threaten him.
Moreover, they knew the secrets of the royal family. The emperor in front of them was the only descendant of the late emperor. If they could not accept him, who else could they support as the emperor?
Forget it, if she doesn’t want to be the queen, then she won’t be the queen. As long as he is willing to choose a concubine, the daughters of marriageable age in your family still have a chance. As long as they give birth to a prince, they will have the opportunity to become the heir.
Therefore, another minister took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I think your decision is a good one. However, I wonder when your Majesty will start the selection process. After all, it is necessary to expand the royal family."
"Zhang Aiqing, what you said is very strange."
"Um, I don't quite understand. What does Your Majesty mean?"
"I've already said that she is the only wife I will ever have. I've also said that I will never take a concubine, so there's no need to mention the selection of concubines."
No need to mention it again. What does it mean no need to mention it again?
"Your Majesty, this has never been done before. You and the Queen are deeply in love, but this doesn't conflict with the selection."
As the official spoke, he looked at Chi Yu's expression. Seeing that he still had a smile on his face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What if I must set this precedent?"
"this……"
People started whispering and after some discussion, they decided to force him to accept it.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on setting this precedent, then I will die to prove my loyalty."
The person who spoke was a civil official who had been in office for many years. His grandfather had used this trick before and it worked very well.
After all, no one wants to be branded as a tyrant, and who would quarrel with a minister for such a long time just for a woman?
"Don't try to stop me. Go ahead and ram it if you want. And don't ram the golden pillars. Renovating them will cost a fortune."
He stared at the civil official with a half-smile and a teasing look in his eyes.
The man stood there in a daze for a moment. Why is this different from what he imagined?
Shouldn't His Majesty stop him with an anxious look and then compromise?
"Why didn't Lord Liu crash into it? Are you afraid of death, or do you want to take back your words?"
The arrow is on the string and must be shot. Now that the words have been spoken, how can they be taken back?
Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him, as if they were going to see through him. He closed his eyes and rushed towards the pillar.
"Bang." The huge noise made everyone present tremble unconsciously.
Lord Liu himself fainted on the spot, with blood gushing from the center of his forehead.
"Anyone else want to bang their heads against the pillars? Don't want to dirty the hall? Just drag them out and have their necks slit. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
He drew the long sword beside him and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the center of the hall. The snow-white long sword gave everyone goose bumps.
