Most of the maids in the palace were new, and they were taught the rules for a month by the old maids who had not left the palace in the previous dynasty. As for the eunuchs, they had no roots and could not live a normal life outside, so they chose to stay. Except for the eunuchs with high status, Ye Ze was useless, and all the other young eunuchs were kept.

Moreover, Ye Ze didn't want to recruit eunuchs in the palace in the future. It was too inhumane. Anyway, his harem was simple and he didn't need so many people to serve him. As for what would happen to his descendants in the future... we'll talk about it when the time comes.

On the other side, Fengyi Palace

It was late in the afternoon, around five in the afternoon, when Ye Ze finished the work at hand and hurried over.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

Fulu, the eunuch who served him personally, sang along, and the maids and eunuchs who were responsible for sweeping outside the Fengyi Palace hurriedly knelt outside the palace to greet him. The head maid, Jinxin, happily ran into the palace to report, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here, you should get ready to welcome him."

Only after entering the hall did they discover that Zhao Li was still dressed the same way she came. She did not bring any of the gorgeous clothes, hairpins or rings prepared for her in the hall, nor did she put on any makeup. Her bare face looked a little pale due to fatigue from days of traveling.

Jin Xin asked anxiously, "Oh, how did you guys serve her? How come the queen didn't even put on makeup?"

Several young palace maids knelt down and pleaded innocently: "Aunt Jinxin, it was the Queen..."

"No need to be so troublesome, you guys hurry up." Zhao Li asked a few young palace maids to stand up, and then said: "He can just come in by himself, I don't need to prepare anything special."

Jin Xin sighed helplessly. Didn't I remind you? No matter how good your relationship was before, it will be different after entering the palace. When the situation in the palace stabilizes, filling the harem will be put on the agenda. By then, there will be so many beauties in the harem, how can you compete with them like this?

"Don't worry, I know my husband, he won't care about this." Zhao Li said softly.

Jin Xin: “…”

Oh, forget it. Fortunately, the Queen just entered the palace today. She will teach you slowly in the future.

"Okay, you guys go out first." Zhao Li waved her hand. She didn't want to be with Ye Ze while there was a large group of people watching them.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

"See the Emperor."

Just as Jin Xin walked to the door with a few palace maids serving in the palace, Ye Ze strode in and said, "No need to be polite, you can go out first." Ye Ze walked straight to the inner hall without stopping.

"Yes." Several young palace maids retreated nervously.

This was the first time they had seen the emperor. Since he ascended the throne, he had been busy with government affairs and had never set foot in the harem. Unexpectedly, the emperor came as soon as the empress entered the palace today.

Chunrui, who was walking at the back, couldn't help but look back at the tall figure. Her heart was beating inexplicably and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Chunrui, why are you still standing there? Hurry up." Jinxin urged.

Chunrui hurriedly came to her senses, lowered her head and walked out: "Here it comes..."

*

"Li'er," Ye Ze entered the inner hall and called softly.

"Husband, are you done with your work?" Seeing him come in, Zhao Li greeted him with a smile.

"Well," Ye Ze looked pitiful, and hugged Zhao Li into his arms, holding her quietly. He was so busy these days, how did he become the emperor without knowing it? Now, he didn't even have a chance to sleep in!

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Zhao Li hugged Ye Ze's waist with concern and asked softly.

Ye Ze rubbed Zhao Li's head with his chin: "I'm not tired, it's just that the affairs of the previous dynasty are complicated, and I can't come to accompany you all the time."

Hearing this, Zhao Li deliberately put on a stern face, pushed Ye Ze away and said, "Hey, we haven't paid our respects to the emperor yet, please don't break the rules."

Zhao Li was about to bow when Ye Ze held her arm and asked with a smile, "Do you really like those boring rules and want to follow them?"

Zhao Li pouted: "If I don't follow the rules, what if one day you get tired of me and don't come to my palace anymore?"

She was so happy for Ye Ze when she first learned that he had become the emperor. It was only after she entered the palace and was reminded by Jin Xin that she came to her senses. It turned out that after Ye Ze became the emperor, he no longer belonged to her alone. The palace was so big, how many concubines would he need to fill it!

Ye Ze: “…”

I smell a strong smell of vinegar!

"If I don't come to your place, where can I go? During the time you were not here, I lived alone in the imperial study."

Zhao Li was angry. "That's because the situation in the court is still unstable. Of course you have to be busy. When it stabilizes in the future, even if you don't want to take a concubine into the palace, the ministers in the court will not agree!"

"Who told you all this?" Ye Ze frowned speechlessly. He had never thought about this before, but what Zhao Li said seemed to be right... "Anyway, I only want you as my wife. As for taking a concubine, don't even think about it!"

"How about...you quickly give me a son, and we can enthrone him as the crown prince. Why would we need to take a concubine if we already have a crown prince? Wouldn't it be nice to have the crown prince have many children in the future?"

Zhao Li looked at him in surprise: "Are you serious?"

For a moment, Zhao Li even doubted whether her man was really no longer capable. After all, which man could resist such temptation when he became an emperor?

Ye Ze held up three fingers and swore to the sky: "I swear, what I said is the truth. Don't worry, as long as I don't want to, no one can force me to do anything."

When the civil servants in the court saw him, they were all trembling with fear, scared like quails. Ye Ze would not indulge them. At worst, he would rather have nothing than have someone who is not good enough!

Dare to force him to do something he doesn't like? Directly dismiss him from office! There are so many major events in the world that he can't see, but he is just staring at my harem and asking for his hand. What do I want such an official to do?

Zhao Li unconditionally believed Ye Ze's words. Since the time she got married, he gave her the pear blossom hairpin to make her look good when she returned home, and also caught two old hens from home to take with him. In order to stop her mother-in-law from making things difficult for her, he even made up a lie that she was a lucky woman... He had always treated her sincerely.

Seeing her in a daze, Ye Ze raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm fine," Zhao Li's bright almond eyes were filled with mist, and she was moved. "Am I being too unreasonable? Will I bore you?"

"No, what are you thinking about? We are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, you should say it face to face to avoid misunderstandings later." Ye Ze coaxed softly.

Zhao Li sniffed and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Even if my husband is really not capable, I will not leave you!" She said this from the bottom of her heart!

result--

Ye Ze ⊙︿⊙: What?

"You, said, what?!" Ye Ze almost gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.

"Husband, don't be angry. Yes, it was the mouse who said that. It said, it said..." Zhao Li suddenly became flustered. She didn't dare to look up at his eyes. When the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. Her pretty face just blushed with shame.

"Rat?" Ye Ze took a deep breath. What on earth did you say to my innocent little wife!

Zhao Li glanced at the mouse nest in the corner. Where had the little guy gone to in such a short while?

I took another sneaky glance at Ye Ze. Well, he was indeed angry. It was over. He had stirred up a hornet's nest.

"Husband, I'm not saying you can't do it, really, I mean..."

"Heh..." Ye Ze's lips curled up into a wicked smile. Dare you say I can't do it? Emmmm, he approached Zhao Li and whispered, "I'll let you try tonight, okay?"

"what?"

Zhao Li's head made a buzzing sound and became chaotic. The next second, she saw Ye Ze's face had returned to normal, as if what he said just now was just her illusion.

Ye Ze said: "Let's go to mother's for dinner. She will definitely prepare it for us."

Zhao Li had not yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced, and she was stunned as he held her hand and led her out of Fengyi Palace.
