Chapter 401 Thirty Thousand Palace Rules
One, two, three...

The pile of scrolls at hand was getting higher and higher, but there were still at least ten maids standing behind the female officer, and each of them carried a tray, which was full of scrolls and books.

Su Yun couldn't help it anymore: "Madam Gu, can you tell me first, how many volumes are there in total?"

"The general outline is 37 volumes," the woman in light blue clothes replied cautiously, "each volume comes with no less than three volumes of detailed explanations and..."

The ambiguous words made Su Yun helpless, so she could only cut to the chase: "I just want to know how many palace rules there are in the harem, and which palace rules I must abide by?"

"The harem has a total of 720 rules, covering every detail of daily life, but you don't have to abide by these rules." The female officer said with a half-smile, her smile reminded Su Yun of a smiling crocodile.

"Since I don't have to abide by it, why are they piled up in front of me?" Su Yun asked rhetorically.

"Because you are about to become the mistress of the harem, you must understand all the rules." The female officer said humbly and sharply, "If you can master all the rules, both His Majesty... and the Queen Mother will..."

"To put it bluntly, I can learn these things, but I don't have to! You put such a lot of clichéd things in front of me, are you really trying to let me understand?"

Seeing the girl's bright smile, the usually calm female official burst into a cold sweat.

"...You can understand it this way." She suppressed her fear and spoke calmly.Every time a new emperor ascends the throne, the Empress Dowager Linchao will add her own part to the palace rules, called Harem Order, which is actually just to suppress dissidents.After thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, the palace rules have long been huge and fragmented, so that their main use today is to punish people who are not pleasing to the eye.

"Since it's not very important, you can send all the books to the study. I'll read them when I'm free." Su Yun said calmly, and asked the female officer to lead the maids back.

……

Just as the hem of the skirt disappeared from the corner, Su Yun couldn't wait to stand up, threw the luxuriant and radiant robe on the throne, and said while stretching: "Now I finally understand why Luo Xuan doesn't want me to marry you." That bastard. If I have to wear such cumbersome clothes and pretend to talk to people every day, I will definitely go crazy."

"I think this place is pretty good. It's full of golden light everywhere, which fits my aesthetics." Bai Ye said with emotion. On the first day he moved into the Li Palace, he was fascinated by the golden light that covered his vision. The palaces are all moved into their own portable spaces.

"But the air here is very oppressive," Rolling said softly while eating bamboo, "It's almost like being in prison. Master, let's go, life here is very difficult."

"...But I want to stay for a while longer." After a little pondering, Su Yun said vaguely.

When she realized that she liked Ye Junran, she already knew that she might live in a golden cage in the future, but she believed in Ye Junran, and she also believed in herself.

It's her choice, and even if it's wrong, she's willing to pay the price of her freedom for it.

"Master's choice is my choice," Blood Leopard said sincerely, "Although everything here makes me very uncomfortable."

"This is really not a good place. The benefit of a large needle tip can make a group of people fight to the death." Zi Yuansui's voice suddenly sounded. Su Yun turned her head and saw the leader of the undead army walking in in armor.

Zi Yuansui glanced at the heavy robe thrown on the ground and the scrolls of palace regulations piled up on the hill, and smiled: "You don't need to waste time getting familiar with these things. Because most of them will be abolished soon. "

"So sure?" Su Yun asked back, in front of Zi Yuansui, she didn't need to carry the so-called etiquette.

"You will be the only hostess here soon, and the rules of the previous dynasty will naturally no longer need to be kept." Zi Yuansui said slyly, "All the women will be sent away to where they should go."

"Really?" Su Yun knocked on the handrail a few times casually. She only had a very superficial understanding of the history of the Ye family, but even so, it was enough to make her deeply disgusted with this family.

"In the Western Continent, His Majesty's will is supreme," Zi Yuansui explained calmly, "You will be the most noble existence, and all women must kneel before you."

"Including the Queen Mother?"

"Yes."

Su Yun was a little confused: "But—according to common sense, even if I become the hostess here and have the title of empress, I still have no right to make a queen dowager kneel, right?"

——Although Empress Dowager Li is not Ye Junran's biological mother, she is the one who salutes in terms of seniority and inferiority.

Zi Yuansui twitched a strange smile: "Your Majesty promised you an equal status with him. No matter in the former court or in the harem, you are the only mistress. As for the Empress Dowager Li - she is not your majesty's biological mother." , how do you have the right to ask you to salute her?"

"The previous dynasty was also equal?"

Even in the Eastern Continent, it is extremely difficult for women to listen to politics behind the curtain, let alone the Western Continent, which has extreme contempt and disdain for women!Su Yun felt that one of Zi Yuansui and herself must have lost her mind.

After much deliberation, she decided to speak clearly: "Western Continent allows women to intervene in the court?"

Zi Yuansui raised his head: "Yes, it is the Western Continent's practice to be regent in the harem. However, His Majesty has restricted the power of the Empress Dowager Li from the very beginning, so she can only vent her excess energy in the harem so far."

"In other words, my arrival made her very unhappy?" Su Yun asked back.

Zi Yuansui smiled slightly: "It's not just that you are unhappy, if you don't expect it, she will invite you to her Fengyi Palace within three days at most."

"Then I'm looking forward to it," Su Yun sneered, she still remembered the incident that Empress Dowager Li sent the imperial army to drive away the Huangluo City Branch of the Alchemist Guild overnight!She wanted to know who this empress dowager was, and what kind of grievances she had with the Alchemist Guild!
Seeing the militant smile on Su Yun's bright face, Zi Yuansui persuaded, "This...you'd better think carefully before acting. After all, Queen Mother Li has spent most of her life in the palace. All the rules are well understood, and those women in the harem, but every one of them regards you as a thorn in their side, you..."

"You also said before that all women must kneel in front of me. If that's the case, why should I care about them?" Su Yun smiled confidently. She cared more about the clowns sent to Luo When will the family's envoy come back? Will Bei Qiufeng come to Huangluo City?
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Li, there wouldn't be no high-ranking pharmacists in Huangluo City to treat Doudou!She doesn't have to wait for Bei Qiufeng so anxiously!

The worst thing is Ye Junran, that bastard!Su Yun thought angrily, if it wasn't for his acquiescence, how could Empress Dowager Li dare to fill the harem with so many women!
