"Choosing a concubine?"

Jiang Li's eyes suddenly widened and she lost her composure in an instant.

Chu Huaizhi looked at her calmly: "Well, since your majesty has ascended the throne, but the harem is empty, it's time to put the selection of a concubine on the agenda."

Jiang Li walked in with eyes wide open: "Don't rush, don't rush this!"

Jiang Li walked up to Chu Huaizhi with great speed and emphasized again: "Uncle, this matter cannot be rushed!"

Chu Huaizhi glanced at the bright yellow figure in front of him and returned his attention to the memorial in his hand.

"Why?"

"I am still young!"

In a hurry, Jiang Li bent down and placed her hands on the desk, closing the distance between her and Chu Huaizhi.

Chu Huaizhi, who was reading the memorial, paused and said, "If I remember correctly, Your Majesty is already eighteen years old this year, and will be an adult in two years. When the late emperor was Your Majesty's age, his children would have run away."

Because she was a girl, Jiang Li did not have a roommate or concubines as early as other princes, let alone three thousand beauties in the harem.

Queen Zhuang never thought that one day the throne would fall into the hands of Jiang Li. She concealed the secret of her daughter's body because the old Taoist priest had spread rumors to confuse the people and she simply wanted to save the lives of her and her daughter.

So although Jiang Li was apparently the daughter of the Queen and the only legitimate son of the Great Yan royal family, the Queen had never cultivated her as the future crown prince over the years. Instead, she concealed her influence, thinking that after the new emperor ascended the throne, Jiang Li would be crowned queen and then she could stay away from the royal disputes and live the life she wanted.

Under the cover-up of Queen Zhuang, in the eyes of everyone, Jiang Li was simply born from the Queen's belly with a good fortune, and with the identity of the emperor's legitimate son, he was just occupying the toilet without doing anything.

Over the years, Jiang Li's impression in the eyes of the public is that he is delicate, cowardly, and a fool, without any of the airs that a legitimate son of the royal family should have.

In addition, the emperor and empress were alienated from each other, so in this battle for the throne, Jiang Li, the useless and incompetent prince, was directly excluded by the other princes.

But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations, the fool whom they had despised at the beginning actually became the treasure!

Not only did the years-long plans of several princes fail, but even Queen Zhuang's years-long plans also fell through.

Before her death, Empress Zhuang's greatest wish was that Jiang Li could live well. If she knew that her daughter would ascend the throne, she would come to the late emperor and beg him to revoke his order even with her last breath.

It’s a pity that Queen Zhuang died of illness three years ago and could no longer protect her daughter.

Chu Huaizhi's words made Jiang Li speechless for a moment. She turned her eyes and leaned forward.

"You are wrong, uncle. I have just ascended the throne and so many eyes are watching me. At such a critical moment, how can I abandon the affairs of the court and indulge in women?!"

Jiang Li spoke confidently and looked at Chu Huaizhi with a determined gaze, as if she was determined not to take him as a concubine unless he made some achievements.

Chu Huaizhi snorted and laughed: "It is a blessing for the people of Dayan that your majesty thinks so."

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Jiang Li squatted down in front of the desk, holding her chin with both hands, looking at Chu Huaizhi who was sitting in front of the desk with hope.

"Then can the emperor uncle please turn this matter down for me first? We can discuss it when the time is right?"

Jiang Li looks like her mother, and Empress Zhuang was known as the most beautiful woman in the imperial city.

The moment Jiang Li squatted down, Chu Huaizhi raised his eyes and met her gaze. Her small face, the size of a palm, was delicate and beautiful, her facial features were soft and flawless, and her eyes were clear and bright, as if they could hold the stars in the sky.

The most attractive thing is the faint smile at the corner of her mouth, like a coquettish cat, which makes people's hearts soften.

But Chu Huaizhi is not a human being, he is a demon that everyone fears.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up. Although she was the young emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, her say in the court was not even half as effective as Chu Huaizhi's. With him taking action, the matter of selecting a concubine could finally come to an end.

Jiang Li exhaled, stood up, walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

Since she had just ascended the throne and had not yet gotten started on many court affairs, Chu Huaizhi ordered people to set up another desk in the imperial study. After court every day, he and Jiang Li went to the imperial study together to assist her in handling memorials.

Chu Huaizhi's desk was placed in front of Jiang Li's right side, so she could see it as long as she raised her eyes.

As soon as Jiang Li sat down, a eunuch moved all the memorials on Chu Huaizhi's desk in front of her.

Jiang Li glanced at the pile of memorials in front of her, then looked up at Chu Huaizhi who was reading a book in front of her, and finally resigned herself to picking up the memorials and starting to read.

The imperial study was very quiet, so quiet that even the birds singing outside the window could be heard clearly.

The scenery outside the window was beautiful, and a breeze slowly came in through the window, lifting the thin curtains in the imperial study.

Jiang Li took a look at the contents of the memorial, then picked up a wolf hair brush beside her and wrote something on it.

Chu Huaizhi held the military book in one hand and took a sip of the teacup beside him with the other hand, waiting for Jiang Li to ask him for advice when she encountered a difficult memorial.

After reviewing so many memorials last night that slandered the little emperor and said that she was unworthy of the position, Chu Huaizhi finally understood why she left the Yangxin Palace alone late at night.

Faced with such slander from court officials, the other princes would have been unable to bear it long ago, let alone the young emperor who had always lived under the wings of Empress Zhuang and was ignorant of the ways of the world.

In order to prevent Jiang Li from suffering further blow, Chu Huaizhi specifically mentioned this matter during the court session this morning.

Now that the late emperor has passed on the throne and the new emperor has ascended the throne, there is no need to mention these words in the future. Put away your unpresentable thoughts. If these gossips are presented to Your Majesty again, don't blame me for being merciless.

These are Chu Huaizhi’s original words.

The ministers may not take the weak and incompetent little emperor seriously, but they dare not disobey Chu Huaizhi's words.

In order to completely dispel the thoughts of those who have already taken a stand, Chu Huaizhi made a one-year agreement with all the officials and court officials.

If the young emperor is still unable to handle court affairs after this year, a wise man can ascend the throne at that time to benefit Dayan.

Everyone knows that the Regent always keeps his word. Since he had promised to abdicate in one year if the young emperor was no longer competent for the throne, he would certainly not break his word. So he made a one-year agreement with him.

None of the memorials submitted today slandered Jiang Li. Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Li read through all the contents of the memorials with great enthusiasm and wrote something on each one.

"Uncle, I've finished reading it."

Jiang Li reviewed all the memorials in one go and then looked up at Chu Huaizhi who was standing in front of her.

Chu Huaizhi was a little surprised at Jiang Li's efficiency today. He put down the military book in his hand, stood up and walked towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li held the memorial in her hand in front of her, seeming to respect the emperor's uncle very much.

"Uncle, please take a look."

Chu Huaizhi glanced at her calmly, then lowered his eyes to look at the letter in her hand. After seeing the handwriting on the letter, a crack appeared on his face, which had always remained calm...
