Quick Wear: Her waist is soft and kissable, the host falls in love with her at first sight

Seeing the double dragon jade pendant tied around Yan Tinglan's waist, the guards of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion let him go with trepidation, and someone soon ran to inform the Duke of Protectorate, Lin Hu.

"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lin Hu was a little frightened, and he and his family paid their respects solemnly.

The emperor angrily killed Li Tengyu in the court yesterday, and the swift and decisive reorganization of the court made Lin Hu re-examine this once cowardly emperor.

"Please stand up, old Duke. I am sorry to bother you without being asked. I came here today to discuss something with you and the Duke's wife."

Lin Hu and his wife looked at each other, then asked everyone else to leave, and took his wife and followed Yan Tinglan to the study.

"I wonder if the emperor has any important matters that require the assistance of this old minister?"

"Please sit down, both of you." Yan Tinglan said with a gentle smile, "I heard that the old Duke and his wife are both good at painting."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

"I came here today because I want you two to paint a few paintings for me."

"I wonder who the emperor wants to paint?"

"Old General, do you still remember the Zhu family who died for their country?"

"Remember, the Zhu family is a meritorious official of our dynasty, so we will certainly remember them. Do you want me to paint the Zhu family?"

"Yes." Yan Tinglan nodded and looked at the wife of the Duke of Huguo. "I heard that Madam has a good relationship with the women of the Zhu family. Please pay more attention to the paintings of the women."

"I will do my best and will be able to finish the painting within three days."

Yan Tinglan handed a gold certificate to the Duke of Protecting the Country, "This is my thank you gift, so I won't bother you any more."

"Please stay, there is no need to see me off."

Lin Hu went out to look, but Yan Tinglan was no longer there.

It seems that the emperor has great inner strength.

"Old man, why do you think the emperor wants us to paint portraits of Zhu's family?"

Lin Hu looked at the death-free gold medal in his hand and said, "Perhaps it's because of Concubine Zhu who came to the palace not long ago."

"The sky of the former dynasty has changed, and the sky of the harem may also change."

When Yan Tinglan returned to Changle Palace, Yan Chengfeng was already sitting at the table waiting.

"Father."

"You really have become a freeloader." Yan Tinglan sat next to Zhu Fuli and held her hand, "Ali, I'm back."

"Ah."

Yan Chengfeng looked surprised, as he discovered that his father never called himself "I" in front of the Imperial Concubine.

"Ali, how about moving to Fengyi Palace?" It was closer to him and was also the palace where the queen lived.

Yan Chengfeng was surprised again. Was his father going to make the imperial concubine the queen?

"It's all right." It doesn't matter where you live.

"Then move tomorrow? I'll have someone come over, no need for you to worry, Ali."

"Ah."

After finishing dinner, Yan Chengfeng received an unfriendly look from Yan Tinglan and left on his own accord.

My father is so stingy.

After washing up, Yan Tinglan hugged Zhu Fuli who was reading a book, "Ali, is the book as good as me?"

"Calm down." As he hugged himself, his heart beat especially fast.

Zhu Fuli couldn't tell whether she was not used to his touch or something else.

"What makes Ali uneasy?" There was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Zhu Fuli took another travel book beside him and put it in his hand. "Look."

Yan Tinglan threw the book away and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Ali and I are reading the same book."

Zhu Fuli: ...

Never mind, let him be, he is the emperor.

When it was almost time for sleep, Yan Tinglan held her waist and kissed her for a while, kissing her until his whole body was burning with heat.

Zhu Fuli felt something strong and powerful pressing against his lower abdomen, closed his eyes and cursed in his heart, "You deserved it."

On the second day, when Yan Tinglan went to court, he asked Zhang Yuanlu to read out the edict to confer the title of empress.

"The emperor issued an edict: Zhu Fuli, the descendant of a meritorious official, is knowledgeable and well-mannered, and has a smart and intelligent personality... with a golden seal and phoenix seal, she is promoted to empress. I decree this."

All the officials were surprised, and soon someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has such a high position just after entering the palace, and she has no children yet. Isn't it too fast to be named queen?"

"I'm not happy, what do you want to say?"

The official choked.

"Qiluo."

"The minister is here."

"The Queen's coronation ceremony will be held in a month. The Ministry of Rites will come up with a set of rules."

"Yes." Qi Luo did not dare to object and returned to the queue with a bitter face. One month? The emperor was too impatient.

"Also, I want to change my name." Yan Tinglan dropped another thunder.

All the officials were surprised and couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to change your name?"

"The old name is unlucky. I have been using this name for so many years, and the government has been monopolized by treacherous officials. I want to change my name and get rid of the old name."

He just didn't want to marry his sweetheart under the name of his unlucky brother.

Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what name the emperor wants to change to?"

"Listen to the words of the Cangli people, listen to the waves of the people, listen to the waves."

"But Your Majesty, the autumn examination is approaching, and you suddenly changed your name. What if many candidates' names offend the emperor's taboo?"

"Pardon, just be lenient, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

What else could Zhang Zhiyuan do? He just agreed. The emperor just wanted to change his name, not to do anything against the law.

There are precedents of killing people directly in the court and greatly demoting or promoting people, so this is not out of the ordinary.

He knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing this, other officials also knelt down.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."

After the court session, Yan Tinglan went back to have breakfast and asked Zhang Yuanlu, "Is the queen awake?"

Zhang Yuanlu raised his head quietly. The empress was already being invited before the ceremony of enthroning her. It seemed that the emperor really liked her.

"Your Majesty, the maid said that the Queen has not woken up yet."

"Well, go wait outside."

"Yes." Zhang Yuanlu stepped out.

The emperor became more and more different. He no longer favored the concubine he used to favor, and no longer allowed himself to serve him. He also no longer complained to him and scolded his ministers. He became more reserved and majestic.

Sometimes Zhang Yuanlu even thought in his heart that the emperor might have been replaced by someone else.

But he only dared to think about it, because the emperor now is different from before.

After Yan Tinglan finished his breakfast and entered the imperial study, two dark shadows appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness, you are being too obvious. Zhang Yuanlu has become suspicious." said one of the shadows.

"If he has doubts, then he has doubts. Does he dare to say it?" Yan Tinglan said lightly.

"You shouldn't make Zhu the queen. She is of no benefit to the court." said another black shadow.

Yan Tinglan's eyes turned cold, "You are overstepping your authority."

"Since he asked you to invite me back, you should know that he has no say over what happens next."

"Go to the Imperial Mausoleum and guard him. Don't come out again."

"You!" The dark shadow behind him turned red with anger.

Another person held his shoulder, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Two black shadows disappeared in front of Yan Tinglan.

"Fire."

"Master." Another dark shadow appeared.

"Send someone to watch them."

"Yes."

Yan Tinglan took the memorial beside him and began to correct it.

Since he knew his own life experience and was not clear about Yan Tingyuan's thoughts, he made preparations early, established his own power, and infiltrated the court.

This is also the reason why he could easily produce a lot of evidence and deal with batches of people with ease.

As for the vacant official positions? There are too many redundant officials and too few capable ones. Most of them are just sitting there doing nothing. In addition, there have been natural disasters in recent years, which are about to bring down the national treasury.

He also placed his own people among the next batch of candidates, so that they could take up positions after the imperial examination.

"Zhang Yuanlu."

"The old slave is here!"

"Call the people from the Ministry of Works."

"Yes."
