The late emperor stated in his will that after his death, the crown prince would succeed to the throne and the empress would assist in government affairs. After the crown prince turned 10, the empress would not interfere in government affairs.
Xu Zhiyi hurriedly knelt down to receive the imperial decree and kowtow.
From then on, Xu Zhiyi became the rightful empress dowager.
Lu Yan had often been by the emperor's side in the past, and now that the new emperor had ascended the throne, he naturally stayed by his side often.
To be honest, the old emperor taught the prince very well. After he was five years old, he began to take him to court and let him learn how to handle affairs.
It’s not difficult to take care of Xu Zhiyi, mainly because he has a father.
The seven-year-old emperor was already able to attend court properly.
A face that still has baby fat has to pretend to be serious for no reason.
Fortunately, Lu Yan can also provide some assistance.
Lu Yan now assists the emperor every day and takes care of the younger ones.
Everyone says that the eunuchs of the Western Factory are cruel and ruthless, but they just don't think so.
When they were sad, Lu Yan would find fun things for them to cheer them up.
When punished by his mother, Lu Yan would be punished along with her.
Since the young emperor ascended the throne, he has been more aware of the heavy responsibility he has, and he studies hard every night.
Lu Yan stayed by his side every night.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the little emperor's small stature, looking like he was studying seriously under the oil lamp.
Afraid that he wouldn't grow taller, I exchanged some brain-enhancing pills with the system to reduce his burden.
With the brain-enhancing pills, it became very easy for the little emperor to study.
By the time he was ten years old, he was able to handle government affairs independently.
Xu Zhiyi was happy and relaxed because she was originally a salted fish, and her dream was to be rich and live a leisurely life.
Now that she is the most honorable woman in the entire court, she can naturally enjoy herself to her heart's content.
That night, Lu Yan entered the Cining Palace. When he entered, Xu Zhiyi was still reading a picture book.
He lived a carefree life, with Qinglu beside him massaging his legs.
He waved his hand and let Qinglu go.
I personally gave Xu Zhiyi a massage and saw her good skin:
Her skin was still as white as before, and time seemed to have left no trace on her. He thought about the few gray hairs he had grown over the years from taking care of the little emperor, and felt that it was unfair.
There have been rumors circulating recently, and I can't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
"I heard that the Queen Mother summoned a few new people to the palace to sing music these days?"
As he asked, his hands secretly exerted force. He had learned some techniques over the years and knew where to press the most comfortably.
Xu Zhiyi nodded indifferently. She had always listened to the singing.
"It's being rumored in the palace that the Queen wants to summon some concubines to the harem."
This is not without precedent. Many empresses dowagers have kept concubines in the harem.
His tone was calm and there was no trace of emotion.
Sometimes he would think that his original purpose for Xu Zhiyi was to provide a seed function. Now that the late emperor was gone and the young emperor was on the right track, how much value did he still have?
Batch after batch of fresh and young men were available for the Queen Mother to pick at will.
Xu Zhiyi knew that the jealous little guy was jealous again.
She pushed his hand away and nestled into his chest.
"Master Lu, what are you talking about? Isn't having you enough for me? Am I the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them?"
She didn't dare to provoke Lu Yan, for fear that she would not be able to get out of bed the next day.
Lu Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
The fingers were no longer massaging as regularly as before, but began to fan the flames.
What he loved most was the red at the corners of her eyes and the mist in her eyes, which made people want to love her with all their heart.
Naturally, he carried her into the bed.
It was a windy winter day and it was extremely cold outside. A charcoal fire was burning inside the house. The cold wind outside was blowing the branches, and the candlelight inside the house was swaying everywhere.
As daybreak approached, the fierce battle came to an end.
In a daze, I only heard Xu Zhiyi ask:
"Do you still want children?"
He nodded unconsciously.
Xu Zhiyi snorted and refused to give it to him even if he wanted it.
I thought to myself that I must exercise more in the future so as not to be outdone by Xu Zhiyi.
The next morning, Xu Zhiyi got up and asked Lu Yan to start working on it while we went out for a walk.
Xu Zhiyi has been in this world for 11 years and has never left the palace for fun.
I just want to go out of the palace for a walk.
However, the little emperor was still young, and the two of them did not dare to go far. They often played outside for a few days and then came back.
She felt more at ease only after the emperor turned 18 and began the beauty pageant, and had a new queen.
Under his governance, the Great Zhou Kingdom became more and more prosperous, and the people lived a very comfortable life.
Xu Zhiyi's time spent out with Lu Yan also increased, and they went to many places together.
The young emperor had wondered why his mother was always accompanied by Eunuch Lu.
But he just wanted his mother to be happy.
When Lu Yan was in his 50s, his health was not good because he had overexerted himself when he was young.
Xu Zhiyi had the spiritual spring in her hand, but she still wanted to abide by the lifespan of this world, so she called all seven children to her side.
I told them the beginning and the end, and also explained the reasons clearly.
The emperor was aware of this because the queen had once said it, and he thought it was too outrageous at the time.
Later on, he became more and more suspicious, and finally wanted to wait for his mother to reveal the matter herself.
The seven children fell silent after hearing this. Only now did they understand why Eunuch Lu had been so kind to them.
Xu Zhiyi originally came to this world to complete a mission. Now that Lu Yan was leaving, she had nothing to be attached to.
