Tian's little cook

Chapter 1272 Three years later

After dealing with Wu Yaoyan's miscarriage, Huangfuchu still ignored the objection of Empress Dowager Wu and insisted on keeping Huangfujue in Qianqing Palace.

Later, under Feng Keqing's persuasion, Empress Dowager Wu put down the matter and did not mention it.

"The emperor has always been kind, and the story of Huangfu Jue has spread among the people. At this time, attacking a yellow-haired boy like him will damage the reputation of the royal family. It will not be a problem to leave a child behind."

Wu Ruoyan didn't care, anyway, only her son would be qualified to inherit the Datong in the future.

No matter who stands in the way of her son, she will never show mercy.

Whoever becomes a stone in the way will end up like Lin Zhimo.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after Xiao Guangxin reported that Wu Yaoyan had moved into the Changle Palace and everything was settled, Huangfu continued to look at the memorial without raising his head.

After a while, Huangfu Chu finished correcting the memorial in his hand before speaking.

"The decree is to enshrine Yuanxue as Concubine Yuangui tomorrow, with the same level as Wu Ruoyan, double the reward, and move into Yikun Palace in one month."

Xiao Guangxin was taken aback. The two noble concubines in the first palace were both of the same rank. This was the first time he had encountered it. I don't know what the emperor thinks.

In the past, he would dare to ask a few questions, but now he just nodded in response, and dared not say a word of extra words.

Since the former empress left, Huangfuchu seemed to have returned to his original state, but Xiao Guangxin could tell that Huangfuchu had completely changed, becoming cold, without joy, anger, sorrow or coldness.

Also become like a real emperor.

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Guangxin looked at the gloomy sky and let out a breath slowly.

The struggle of the harem, more precisely the struggle of the court, has begun.

Three years later.

At the Zhengyang Gate in the capital, Su Jixun, the Prime Minister of Zuo, was waiting with all the officials.

The people on the sidelines were discussing in a low voice but lively.

"The servant of the Ministry of Rites has always come to greet the general. Today, not only the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also Su Jixun, the Prime Minister of Zuo, is here. It seems that Wu Yuanyin is really powerful."

"Isn't it?" Another person interjected: "Not only is he a general guarding the northwest, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but he is also the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Wu, and his daughter is the current imperial concubine. First-rank ministers also have to look at his face."

"Speaking of which, why hasn't the emperor been named a queen?" Someone lowered his voice and said, "The former queen has died of illness for more than three years. It is said that Concubine Wu Gui has already lived in Changle Palace, why hasn't she become a queen yet?"

"Keep your voice down." A scholar next to him patted him to remind him to pay attention, but he couldn't bear to gossip again.

"Originally it was stipulated that the first empress would not be appointed as the new empress within two years of her death, but the emperor and the former empress have a deep relationship. In order to express their thoughts and sincere feelings, they specially extended the time limit for the appointment of the new empress for one year."

"The emperor is really infatuated." A man next to him sighed.

However, a woman beside him who had been silent all the time spoke up, with some sarcasm in her voice: "If it's really infatuation, it won't be a few more concubines in the past few years."

"What do you know as a woman?" The man stared, "Your Majesty doesn't have Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, so is he still called His Majesty?"

"Since that's the case, don't say that you miss the former queen." The woman said not to be outdone, "Call it infatuation, but..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." The scholar quickly stopped him, "Here comes the man."

Several people looked out together, and sure enough, a team appeared in the distance from the gate of the city, and they were walking over mightily.The person who led the horse riding was Wu Yuanyin, the general of the Northwest.
