   Xie Ci Yan was very busy in the following days. When he first ascended the throne, there were still many trivial matters to be sorted out one by one, but these were not difficult for Xie Ci Yan. When he was the regent, he had to deal with a large number of memorials and trivial matters every day. Now he was even more adept at it.

  When the chief eunuch asked how to deal with the concubines in the palace of the deposed emperor, Xie Ci Yan paused while reviewing the memorials. His mother waited alone in the Phoenix Tower for his father, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. He immediately raised his eyes and said to the eunuch who was bowing: "Notify their families to take them back. If they have no family, give them some money to find a place to go. They can marry freely in the future and have nothing to do with the imperial city."

  The chief eunuch was about to agree, but then he suddenly realized what the emperor meant. He actually wanted to send them out of the palace instead of sending them to the Buddhist temple to pray for the prosperity of the country?

  The eunuch spoke hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this... has never happened before in the palace, and it seems... a little against the rules." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the new emperor on the dragon throne uneasily, but then he lowered his eyes for fear of being punished.

  Xie Ci Yan did not even raise his head, and continued to review the memorials. His voice was still calm, but with an unquestionable tone, "Now I am sitting here, and the rules are determined by me." He suddenly raised his eyes, and his sharp eyes like a hawk stared directly at the eunuch. "Over the years, have those women who were given the title of imperial concubines voluntarily gone to the Buddhist temple to pray for the country of Sheng? When they went to the Buddhist temple, would they curse my mountains and rivers day and night or recite Buddhist scriptures with a snake's heart?"

  The eunuch lowered his body, and his shoulders seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock. He couldn't help but shiver, and the words were in his throat but he couldn't say a word to refute. He could only touch his forehead to the ground and said respectfully, "Yes, I will obey the emperor's order."

  When this news came out, some people were happy and some were sad.

  The young concubines who had already made up their minds to spend the rest of their lives with the green lamp and the ancient Buddha were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help crying. Most of them were women who were taken into the harem by the deposed emperor on a whim. The deposed emperor was more romantic and liked new things and disliked old things. The beautiful concubines were forgotten in the harem after only serving him for a few times. Now that they know that the new emperor has promised them grace to leave the palace and return home, they can't believe that they can still have the opportunity to leave this high wall and have the honor to see the prosperous world outside the palace wall again.

  However, some conservative people among the court officials felt that this matter was inappropriate and wanted to advise them during the morning court. But before he could bring up the ancestral system and laws, he was blocked by the new emperor.

  "This matter has been decided, there is no need to discuss it again." The emperor was majestic without anger.

  At this moment, the ministers who were still trying to persuade him suddenly realized that the new emperor in front of them was no longer the deposed emperor who could be manipulated at will. When he was the regent in the past, he could stand firm in the court on his own, making the court officials subconsciously follow his lead. Shengguo could not have the current situation without his hard work.

  The emperor in front of them was the emperor, and they could only kneel down and worship him as they did before, and say loudly, "Yes."

  When the court officials all lowered their heads, Xie Ciyan's mouth corners could not help but curl up a little. What he did today was to pave the way for the future to confer Yan Zhaozhao as the queen. As long as he could make the court respect his words, no matter what he did that violated the ancestral system, he could make the ministers speechless and accept it, and let them get used to it. In this way, even if he wanted to confer Zhaozhao as the queen, the court officials would no longer be able to use the rules of the ancestral system to restrain him.

  No matter who it was, no one could stop Yan

  Zhaozhao from being made queen. As soon as the previous dynasty was settled, Xie Ciyan wanted to take the dragon sedan back to Jin Garden to have dinner with Yan Zhaozhao. But just after leaving Yangxin Palace, the guards guarding Xuanji Palace suddenly bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Zhiman, the concubine of the Yan family, wants to see you for something important."

  Hearing this, Xie Ciyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes. Then he said, "Let's go back to Jin Garden first, I will pick up Zhaozhao to go together."

  After he finished speaking, he was about to get on the dragon sedan, but he heard the guard say, "Your Majesty, Yan Zhiman, the concubine of the Yan family, said that you can't take the queen with you, otherwise she won't say anything."

  Xie Ciyan frowned slightly. The Yan family was about to leave Beijing. It seemed that Yan Zhiman mistakenly thought that Yan Huai had abandoned her and left her alone in this palace, so she finally couldn't wait to come and see him. Yan Huai's favorite daughter is this concubine. Perhaps he can hear some unknown things from her.

  After thinking for a while, Xie Ci Yan turned his head and said to the eunuch standing beside him: "Go back to Jin Garden and tell Zhao Zhao about this. Tell her that I will be back soon and ask her to have dinner first." After that

  , he got on the dragon sedan and headed towards Xuanji Palace.

  Yan Zhi Man had been waiting in the palace for a long time. She changed her delicate posture and made up to look very bright. She wore a peach-colored gauze skirt and bright red rouge on her slightly haggard face, but she didn't feel bright at all. She felt that it was very incompatible with her appearance, which was quite superfluous. "I pay my respects to the emperor." Her voice was still delicate, but she slightly suppressed her voice line, as if she wanted her voice to sound more like someone else.

  Seeing her like this, Xie Ci Yan subconsciously frowned slightly, and then calmly walked to the clean soft couch beside him and sat down.

  Without waiting for the emperor to ask her to stand up, Yan Zhi Man didn't care much. She lowered her eyes, smiled softly, and stood up, and walked towards him with her red gauze skirt slightly lifted.

  Xie Ci Yan frowned even more tightly, and his voice was slightly cold, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

  Yan Zhi Man paused, raised the hem of her skirt and turned around in a circle, her eyebrows were charming, and her red lips were slightly raised, making her look more beautiful, no longer as weak and lovely as before. "Your Majesty, do you think my dress looks like Yan Zhaozhao?"

  The man's eyes were stern when he heard the words, and the aura emanating from his body became colder, exerting waves of majesty silently. "What qualifications do you have to be compared with Zhao Zhao?"

  The smile on her lips froze, and then returned to normal. She took a step and got closer to the tall new emperor, and said in a very light voice, "No matter how good the food is, it will make you sick if you eat too much. Your Majesty, don't you want to eat it with clear soup? You are the most noble man in the world, how can you only eat one meal?"
