Lu Qingyan flicked her sleeve and smiled, "I owe my success today entirely to the care of you all. Back then, when you were working for the Empress, she also showed you some kindness."
His words startled the group, who thought Lu Qingyan was dissatisfied and wanted to punish them and promote someone else to a higher position.
The most timid of the Hanlin compilers asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, does Your Majesty not want us to work for you anymore?"
Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "Not at all. If even someone like Mother Empress thinks it's safe, then of course I believe you all have real talent and ability. It's just that Mother Empress is getting old and shouldn't be working so hard. But she's the kind of person who can't sit still. After she abdicated the throne, she actually took a carriage and wanted to go on a long trip with Father and Second Sister."
Lu Qingyan sighed as she spoke, looking every bit worried about her elders.
The officials, who understood their empress well, spoke up directly: "Since Your Majesty has brought this up, you must already have a plan. You are now the ruler of the world, and there is nothing you cannot do. Whatever you do, we will support you."
Their words were meant to reassure Lu Qingyan, since the conflict between Ren Junhe and Ren Fengliu couldn't be explained in a few words. They had already prepared for the fact that the current emperor wouldn't tolerate the retired empress, but they hadn't expected Lu Qingyan to say such a thing.
"In the Kingdom of Thousand Flowers, women rule the country, and there have never been many children. The Queen Mother was overjoyed to have us, so she inevitably neglected us a bit."
"I am the eldest daughter and also the Crown Princess, so I shouldn't be so petty about this matter. I also don't intend to do anything to the Empress Dowager. However, with the war still raging, I'm worried about her going out alone, so I plan to send her to the estate to recuperate. What do you all think?"
The Minister of Justice looked at Lu Qingyan and praised, "Your Majesty is indeed benevolent. Everyone has witnessed how the Emperor Emeritus treated Your Majesty. It is not a big mistake for Your Majesty to be resentful and unwilling to support the Empress Emeritus. It is just unexpected that Your Majesty is still willing to do so."
Lu Qingyan waved her hand: "I have already ascended the throne, so there is no need for me to argue with the Empress Dowager over such a small matter. If you gentlemen have time, you can go and visit the Empress Dowager. She is getting old and always likes to be lively. As the emperor, I will not have as much time to spend with her anymore. You should go to her side and fulfill your filial duties on my behalf."
Several people knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty's decree is obeyed."
Lu Qingyan raised her hand and left, surrounded by palace servants.
Lu Qingyan moved the main residence to Gan'an Palace, and Hua Yeyu and Hua Yeshuang moved there as well. At first, the palace servants were surprised by Hua Yeyu's identity, but they didn't think much of it after that.
Although he is His Majesty's tutor, he is so young and handsome, it's no wonder he has won the Emperor's favor. I just wonder what official title His Majesty will bestow upon Tutor Hua.
The quick-witted palace attendants had already begun to consider Hua Yeyu's rank.
He even considered befriending Hua Fuzi before he became successful, hoping to secure a good job for him in the future.
The Li Kingdom has invaded. The lives of these slaves are the most worthless. Perhaps a desperate fight before death will offer a different path, after all, Her Majesty…
When Hua Yeyu and Hua Yeshuang appeared together, the palace servants were startled again.
Wait... how did Hua Fuzi become two? How are they going to be divided? The palace attendant was already starting to worry about Lu Qingyan.
