Emperor Xingwen nodded. "He once vowed not to become emperor, but it is truly outrageous that he made his wife empress. A woman as emperor is unprecedented in history."
A strange glint flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and went unnoticed by Emperor Xingwen.
"In that case, let's first observe the excitement in Chongyang Prefecture. Alright, I'm tired, so I'll return to the palace now. Tonight, you should set aside state affairs and treat the beauty well, so that she may give me a grandson as soon as possible. With a crown prince, the court will truly be settled."
"Yes, Mother Empress, I understand."
...
Chongyang Prefecture, Chongyang Royal Palace.
Construction on this palace began three years ago, and it is now mostly completed. It is larger and more magnificent than the palace of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Everywhere you look, there are carved dragons and phoenixes, auspicious birds and beasts, and intricate and exquisite patterns inlaid with precious jade and gemstones.
Standing on the high platform of the central palace, Mu Run looked at the empty and inexplicably solemn hall and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Um... Father of the child, can I really become an empress?" she asked Fu Yunchen cautiously.
Fu Yunchen couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course, Run'er has the makings of a born emperor."
Mu Run rolled her eyes at him fiercely, "Bullshit, keep talking nonsense! Aren't you afraid a bolt of lightning will fall from the sky and turn you into dust?"
"Haha." Fu Yunchen pressed her down to sit on the supreme five-clawed golden dragon throne. "From now on, you will sit here and listen to the government. I will be either the regent or the prime minister, sitting to your left and right below you, protecting you. You won't have to worry about anything."
"So I'm just a puppet empress?" Upon hearing that she wouldn't be allowed to manage anything, Mu Run became a little unhappy again.
"Look, you said you didn't want to be empress, but now you're starting to complain." Fu Yunchen patted her head. "Of course not. As you said, one should fulfill one's duties in one's position. I'm just your support. When you don't know what to do, you can turn around and see me."
Mu Run looked up at him and said, "What if others don't agree to me becoming the empress? After all, there has never been an empress throughout history."
"Then you're in luck; you can go down in history and be remembered for eternity," Fu Yunchen said with a smile. He didn't answer, leaving it to him to consider what he would do if someone disagreed.
Mu Run didn't notice that he had missed a question in his answer, and simply reached out to hug his waist, "Are you sure this is okay?"
In fact, she became empress so that he could exercise his power, instead of being confined to a corner of the country, indulging in his own treasures and being controlled by bloodlines and promises.
She believed in his abilities and thought that if he were willing to intervene, he could quickly quell the current chaos in Chongyang Prefecture. She also didn't want him to be left with nothing to show for his talents and only regrets in the future.
"Do you remember when you were still in Xinlian's body, you said you wouldn't be a princess, but an empress?"
"Huh?" Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen in surprise. "Did I say such arrogant things?"
Fu Yunchen's forehead twitched slightly, "..."
Mu Run immediately grinned and said, "So you've been remembering all along."
Fu Yunchen's voice clearly showed dissatisfaction, "Heartless!"
"Hehe, thank you, Yunlang." Murun grabbed his hand and gave him a fawning kiss.
Someone entered the hall and witnessed this scene. He immediately knelt down, trembling with fear, and said, "This humble servant deserves to die!"
Mu Run blushed instantly, pushed Fu Yunchen in front of her to block her, and said, "You, you handle this."
Fu Yunchen patted her head, "That's how it is. No matter what you do, I'll always be there for you."
