Quick Wear: Charming Female Supporting Role Cannot Be Enough

Chapter 49: The Charming 9-tailed Concubine VS the Cold and Powerful Regent 17

This served as a reminder to the Minister of Personnel that the old emperor had always loved the country but loved beauties more. It was reasonable for the imperial concubine to be favored by all the harems and for her child to become the crown prince to provide her with support.

Before the Minister of Personnel could speak, Chu Hua spoke again: "It wasn't just the Second Prince and the Regent who were in Qian'an Palace that day. There were also the Black Tortoise Guards. If the Minister of Personnel still has questions, he can confront the Regent or ask the Black Tortoise Guards for clarification."

The voice was indifferent, but powerful.

The Minister of Personnel was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was so busy embarrassing the Imperial Concubine that he forgot about Chu Nian, the evil spirit, not to mention the Xuanwu Guards...

The Xuanwu Guards are the royal guards. They are not appointed in the court and are used by the royal family. If the Xuanwu Guards are also there, then there is no possibility that the regent is fake.

The Xuanwu Guards have been passed down from generation to generation, and will not change their family beliefs for the sake of the Regent...

The Minister of Personnel bowed tremblingly, "Please calm down, Your Majesty, I am the old minister who is narrow-minded..."

Chu Nian looked at him coldly. It seemed that the lesson from last time was not enough. He didn't learn his lesson and even dared to provoke her.

It’s better if the Minister of Personnel doesn’t take this seat!

Chu Hua waved her hand, "It's okay, the minister is a senior official in the court, this is also for the country, please step down!"

There was no hint of blame in his words, and his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

The Minister of Personnel knew he was in the wrong and retreated in embarrassment.

"Does anyone have any questions? Feel free to ask. If anyone dares to question the Sixth Prince's status as the Crown Prince after today, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chu Nian spoke first: "I have no objection!"

He looked at Chu Hua sitting on the dragon throne with burning eyes.

With Chu Nian's statement, the ministers dared not say a word. The imperial concubine's aura was quite terrifying and she was not so easy to deal with.

They all bent down and said loudly: "I have no objection!"

Chu Hua retracted her gaze and nodded slightly, "Let's forget about this matter now. Anyone who brings it up again will be treated as someone who disrespects the emperor's authority!"

"Do the ministers have anything else to report?"

The left prime minister stepped forward and saluted, "I have a report to make!"

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"Locust disasters are rampant in the south, and the people have no harvest. A large number of refugees are pouring into the capital. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

This matter has happened for many days, but the old emperor is not interested in the court and has no intention of paying attention, and the regent has not been seen for several days. It can no longer be delayed.

"What advice do you have, ministers?"

Chu Huan glanced at the ministers who were hanging their heads below, hoping to find some constructive talent.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

In the past, when refugees appeared in Beijing, they not only had to donate their gold and silver valuables, but also had to take in the refugees. They spent money and effort, but still got nothing in return, so they would just hide if they could.

Chu Hua snorted coldly: "No one in the whole court dares to speak out? Could it be that these refugees are some kind of monstrous beast?"

This group of old bastards won't say anything when their own interests are involved. It seems the court needs a change of blood.

Chu Nian took a step forward and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

He knew that the Queen had a way to solve the problem, and this matter could be used to establish the Queen's authority.

"The biggest problem for refugees is food, clothing, housing and transportation. We should build several charity halls in the suburbs of the capital to provide them with shelter. Taking me as an example, each person should donate 100 taels of silver to help the refugees get through this difficult time..."

"As for the aftermath, the Regent will discuss it with me."

"I obey the order——"

Everyone felt a little resentful, as they still couldn't escape the fate of donating money. Fortunately, they didn't have to take in refugees...

"Is the Minister of Rites here?"

"I am here!" The Minister of Rites stepped forward and bowed. The Imperial Concubine, please don't do anything weird again...

"The emperor has passed away, and the court is in mourning for a month. The emperor is kind-hearted, and the funeral ceremony should be simple and not extravagant."

Chu Huan thought to herself that the national treasury must have been in deficit for a long time, but there was no money to give the old emperor a big treat. What's more, he had not done anything beneficial to the people since he came to power, so he was not worthy!

The Minister of Rites felt relieved. It turned out to be a matter of funeral. It would be better not to hold a big ceremony, which would save him trouble.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chu Hua stroked her forehead and said, "If there is nothing else, then we can leave the court!"

Chu Huan took Xie Chen's hand and stood up, taking a step ahead.

I got up early in the morning to deal with these old foxes, but they became silent when it came to important things. How could I still expect them to say something useful?

After the ministers retired from court, they discussed the matter at the palace gate.

They finally realized that the Regent respected the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine was not someone who could be easily fooled.

"It seems that the capital is about to change!" The old minister sighed repeatedly.

On the other side, Chu Nian arrived at Qian'an Palace.

The palace maids had already prepared breakfast. As it was not appropriate to be too extravagant during the emperor's funeral, they only served some porridge, vegetables and steamed buns.

"Chen'er, are you hungry? Come eat quickly."

Chu Huan touched Xie Chen's head. The three-year-old child followed her to court silently. It was the time for him to grow up. He got up too early and needed to be well nourished.

"Chen'er is not hungry. Mother and Chen'er will eat together."

"Okay, let's eat together." Chu Hua smiled slightly. If she and Chu Nian had a child, would it be so cute...

As soon as Chu Nian came in, he saw this scene of loving mother and filial son, which he found a bit annoying.

I wish the Queen could be this gentle to him someday...

When Chu Huan saw Chu Nian coming, she invited him to sit down and have dinner with her.

Chu Nian saw the breakfast on the table and frowned slightly, "Is this all you're going to eat?"

I felt a little dissatisfied. How could the Queen eat such simple food?

Chu Huan picked up her chopsticks and said, "During the emperor's funeral, it is not appropriate to be extravagant, not to mention that there are refugees in the capital."

Chu Nian's frown did not relax. The old emperor was dead, but he still held the empress back. Even the food had become less refined.

"Why do you need to care about him? As for the refugees in the capital, leave them to me. You don't have to feel so wronged."

His wife deserves the best!

Chu Hua glanced at him unhappily. Was she some kind of golden child? She needed to be raised so delicately.

"Well, I really like these. Do you think it's unfair for you to have a meal with me?"

After being glared at by Chu Hua, Chu Nian shut up awkwardly.

Never mind. At worst he could just send the palace's chef to the imperial kitchen. He specially found this chef, Huanhuan would definitely like him!

Chu Nian picked up the porridge in front of him and took a sip. Looking at Chu Hua, he actually felt that the white porridge had a sweet taste.

After breakfast, the two went to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Chu Nian put his arms around Chu Hua's waist and said, "Your Majesty, you have been wronged today..."

It’s time for that old bastard, the Minister of Personnel, to give up his position!

Chu Huan didn't take him seriously, but although other ministers had complaints about her, they would not target her as blatantly as the Minister of Personnel did.

She was afraid that she had offended someone...

"Does the Minister of Personnel have a daughter in the palace?"

Not to mention her, even if Ning Chuhuan appeared in the world, she would quickly go to the palace. How could she offend the ministers in the court?

There is only one possibility, he offended the concubines!

"The first of the four concubines, Concubine Duan, is his legitimate daughter. Humph! The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. He is a traitor, and his daughter is no exception."

Chu Nian's eyes were sharp, "What do you want to do, Madam?"
