Chapter 184 Concubine Ying Promoted to Empress
Duan Qingying picked up her daughter extremely gently, dragged his little butt into her arms,
"That's right, starting today, mother will bring my Zhao Zhao back to take back everything that belongs to me."

Her eyes suddenly became firmer.

She had a long discussion with Gu Rongzhan last night, and now that they have reached this point, they decided to simply move into the East Palace.

Since Gu Jingyan seemed to list her as a thorn in his side, it would be better to confront her with a sword and a gun, since there was an arrangement anyway.

Gu Zhaozhao finally changed into a nice little skirt under the busyness of all the court ladies.

Looking back, she realized that her mother had changed into a very nice orange dress at some point.

And there is a hairpin in the shape of a phoenix on her head, a little makeup on her clear face, and a vermilion red dot on the center of her eyebrows, making her look as delicate and charming as a blooming peony.

Little Naituan's eyes widened sharply, "Mother, why are you dressed so beautifully today?"

Duan Qingying smiled and took her hand and walked straight to the door, "You will know later."

Just as the mother and daughter stepped out of the door holding hands, they saw Gu Rongzhan striding over in a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head.

Gu Zhaozhao looked at Gu Rong from top to bottom, "Daddy, is your injury healed?"

She remembered that when she saw her father yesterday, she seemed unable to move, why was she so energetic all of a sudden.

Gu Rongzhan stepped forward and grabbed Gu Zhaozhao's other hand, "Father is fine, don't worry."

With the company of Qingying and Zhaozhao, he felt more comfortable than ever before.

Even the injuries on his body seemed to heal most of them overnight.

Xiao Naituan walked between the two of them, looked up at the sky, and found that it was still very early.

It was the usual time when Daddy went to court, "Isn't Daddy going to court today? Why did you bring me and mother with you?"

Gu Rongzhan's thin lips curled up slightly, "Today, my father will take you to court together."

"Together?" Gu Zhaozhao scratched his face in confusion.

In the magnificent hall, Gu Zhaozhao sat in a small group on the golden seat next to Gu Rongzhan, shaking his head from side to side and looking at the familiar hall.

She still remembers seeing her father here for the first time. She was just born. At that time, her father was so fierce that he didn't like her at all and threw her to her uncle.

But the uncle also treats her well, and she doesn't regret it.

She pulled Duan Qingying's hand who was sitting beside her, "Mother, look, you were born here."

Duan Qingying couldn't help exerting a little force on her palms, her eyes trembled slightly, and her tightly pursed lips began to turn white.

That's right, I had no intention of surviving at the beginning, so I just left like that.

One can imagine that later on, her elder brother overcame obstacles for her, and insisted on carrying her coffin all the way into the Golden Luan Hall.

Although she had never seen her brother's tragic appearance with her own eyes, it was as if she had experienced it herself.

Duan Qingying sighed for a long time, and put on a smiling face, "Zhaozhao, it was my mother who was wrong in the past, and my mother was irresponsible. In the future, my mother will use the rest of her life to make up for it, and she will definitely not let the person I love Take a little more grievance."

"The courtiers see you!" Following Li Chuan's sharp report, all the courtiers in official uniforms filed in.

Everyone bent down and saluted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Looking up, the faces that used to be plain in the past suddenly became extremely surprised.

"This...is this Concubine Ying?!"

"I'm not mistaken, isn't Concubine Ying dead?"

"Hell in the daytime?!"

Many civil servants were so frightened that they gathered together and shivered.

Seeing the appearance of the ministers, Duan Qingying's lips curved into a smile, she just found it funny.

Back then when my elder brother carried the coffin to the hall, everyone said that she was vicious and she deserved to die, but they never thought that there would be a day when they would meet again.

Gu Rongzhan rested one elbow on the armrest, casually watching the nervous expressions of the group of people below.

"That's right, she is Concubine Ying."

It was just a simple sentence, and the hall fell silent instantly.

The officials raised their eyelids and carefully looked at the woman sitting next to Gu Rongzhan. After confirming that she should not be a ghost, they were slightly relieved.

Gu Jingyan took the lead to stand up, "Father, my son thinks that Concubine Ying is dead, even if there are similarities, she can't take the place of the old man."

The ministers hesitated a little, and then many people stood up and echoed,
"Your Majesty, this woman's origin is unknown, how can she act lawlessly and sit beside His Majesty wantonly."

"Your Majesty, no matter what the woman's background is, she should follow the rules and first enter the Palace of Beauty, and then be promoted step by step."

Gu Jingyan lowered his head, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

He had arranged for these courtiers in private long ago, and it wasn't like they didn't miss him during this period of time when he supervised the country.

No matter what the direction of the wind is, they all know that Xingyue's future can only be in the hands of Gu Jingyan.

Gu Rongzhan seemed to have expected such a scene a long time ago, he sneered, got up and walked to Duan Qingying's side.

"Who says she's still Concubine Ying?"

With just this one sentence, an insolent smile appeared on Gu Jingyan's face.

Sure enough, no matter how powerful the father is, he still knows the current situation in the court, and he will definitely not go against his will easily.

Gu Zhaozhao grabbed Duan Qingying's hand nervously, "Mother..."

Unexpectedly, Gu Rongzhan stretched out his hand suddenly, and pulled Duan Qingying to his side, even bringing down the little milk ball.

Looking at his pair of incomparably firm phoenix eyes, Duan Qingying's restless heart became calm instantly.

She pulled Gu Rongzhan hard and gave him all the responses.

Gu Rongzhan glanced across the crowd of courtiers, and paused on Gu Jingyan's body for a while,
"I declare that Concubine Ying will be promoted to empress, and she will be in charge of the six palaces, and Princess Xiangning will be appointed as the concubine, and she will be conferred upon the world!"

Everything became quiet, even Li Chuan beside him looked at Gu Rongzhan with his mouth open in shock.

After a while, Gu Jingyan finally came to his senses.

He strode forward and said loudly: "Father, absolutely not, this woman's identity is suspicious, and it is against common sense to stay in the imperial palace, let alone the east palace?!"

All of a sudden, voices of agreement echoed all over the sky.

Gu Rongzhan watched all this with satisfaction, and handed the edict he had written long ago to Li Chuan, "Read it."

Li Chuan's body trembled, and he began to read aloud amidst the frenzied audience of the ministers,

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Concubine Ying be specially named Empress Duansu..."

When Gu Jingyan saw that Gu Rongzhan was ignoring the presence of all the ministers, he cast a stern look at Mr. Zhang beside him.

Mr. Zhang is the head of civil servants, as long as he comes forward, he will not listen to his father if he doesn't believe him.

Master Zhang swallowed hard, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and walked out slowly.

He fell to his knees with a plop, and slammed his three heads on the ground, "Your Majesty, I'm going to die!"

The hall became quiet again, and pairs of eyes turned to Mr. Zhang
