Chu Tianze smiled and said, "Madam, don't you know?"

Bai Chuxiao stood up and hooked his chin, "Your Majesty is obsessed with women when you first ascended the throne, but you will be reported to the censors."

Chu Tianze held her hand, lowered his head and murmured, "Madam, how could you think that I would leave those stinky scholars to cause trouble for myself?"

"Oh? My husband means that we are to be a pair of tyrants and demon queens?"

"Why not!"

"Is the Demon Queen satisfied?"

"Very satisfied, the Demon Queen has decided to pamper you today...", Bai Chuxiao smiled evilly.

"It is my honor..."

"..."

It was very quiet in the Bixiao Palace. In the huge bedroom, the bed curtains were dropped, creating a charming scene.

Everything was naturally different after becoming the emperor. Chu Tianze postponed the time of the morning court, but that time was still very early for Bai Chuxiao. When Bai Chuxiao got up, Chu Tianze was nowhere to be seen.

The new emperor's first morning court was naturally to re-reward meritorious officials. Murong Yuan was promoted to Duke of E, the Song family was given the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but Chu Tianze of the Shen family had not yet given him a title. As for the young military generals, such as Murong Xuan, Yu Fengyang, Cui Hao and others, they were all granted formal official positions.

As for the civil officials, they seemed to be in decline. Chu Tianze directly cut off many useless officials who only knew how to talk nonsense, and only a few were promoted. However, there were still a few prominent ones, such as the young Fan Ziming who directly became the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Rites was still Kong Yuan, and Murong Cheng who became the Prime Minister.

Chu Tianze was not an easy-going emperor. He simply killed the old ministers who kept clamoring and expressing their opinions. This actually shocked many people, and no one dared to say anything for a while.

However, the most prominent family was the Murong family, with almost all of them holding official positions from top to bottom. Everyone directly attributed this to the presence of Queen Bai Chuxiao, so many families began to consider sending their daughters to the palace.

Another early morning court.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the inheritance of the Great Xia Empire, please select concubines as soon as possible to fill the harem..."

"Your Majesty, please select the winner as soon as possible!"

"..."

Chu Tianze, who was at the head of the group, calmly looked at the ministers who kept coming forward. After the voices of agreement stopped, he sneered and spoke.

"It seems that abolishing the censors is not enough. You have done nothing but stare at my harem all day long. If that's the case, you don't need to be officials anymore. Come on, drag these people out."

"Your Majesty, how can you be so arbitrary..."

"You are a tyrant..."

The ministers who came out to report had all been discussed in advance. With more people, there is more strength. Chu Tianze couldn't kill them all. Which emperor in history would do that? But unexpectedly, Chu Tianze actually dismissed them from their posts.

"If you roar in the court again, it will not just be as simple as losing your job. Take him away." Chu Tianze waved his hand.

The ministers lowered their heads silently. They had seen clearly that the former King of Yan was indeed not someone who could be easily talked to. But you could say he was stupid. The Great Xia was well-organized and had a strong army...

Chu Tianze glanced around and continued, "But this Jiangshan inheritance really can't be taken lightly, don't read it!"

Mo Yan, who was dressed in black, looked expressionless. Although he was not a eunuch, the work he was doing now was no different from that of the emperor and the former chief eunuch. My Lord, can't someone else do this job?

"The Emperor has issued an edict... to appoint the eldest prince Chu Jingce as the crown prince... I decree this!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The former confidants of Prince Yan's Mansion directly agreed, and those ministers who still wanted to say "absolutely not" had to shut up.

"Retreat!"

In the Bixiao Palace, Bai Chuxiao listened to Cui Hao's report and raised her eyebrows, "Oh? There are so many people who are interested..."

“Master, how about I take some people to search their property…” Cui Hao gestured with a deadpan expression.

Bai Chuxiao was not used to the title of Empress Dowager. It was not nice for people in the past to call her Princess, so she simply changed the title to Master.

Bai Chuxiao rolled her eyes. "What did I teach you? You should be gentle when doing things. Do you understand?..."

Cui Hao was silent. He remembered that the princess only taught them how to kill people, and never said anything about gentleness. Moreover, he clearly heard the murderous intention from the word gentleness...

As expected, Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Spread the word that I am planning to select a concubine for His Majesty. Anyone interested can send in their invitations within half a month. I will not wait for anyone later..."

Cui Hao shuddered, he knew that the princess would never let those people go so easily.

"Every household in the capital must be notified, understand?" Bai Chuxiao smiled even more. Catching them all in one fell swoop would be better than causing trouble for her one after another.

"Yes, my subordinate, go right away!"

Cui Hao was extremely efficient. In just half a day, the capital city was in an uproar. The people who had been carefully hiding their thoughts became active again. This was as it should be. There was no harem with only one person in all the dynasties. Was the empress finally unable to bear it and wanted to preserve her reputation?

However, the people who were close to the Princess of the Prince of Yan knew that these people were going to be in trouble. Of course, there were some smart people who remembered the bold words that the Princess of the Prince of Yan had said when she was not yet a Princess. When she was the daughter of a minister, she dared to kill people who wanted to marry the Prince of Yan in the palace. How could she be so generous as to give the Prince of Yan a selection? It was clearly a bait.

Chu Tianze, who had returned to Bixiao Palace after finishing his official duties, said with a half-smile, "I heard that Madam is going to select a beauty pageant for her husband?"

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "My husband, are you happy? The harem is about to become lively..."

Chu Tianze rolled his eyes and said, "Why waste your time? Just kill the person you found out about it..."

Bai Chuxiao spread her hands and said, "I'm just free. It's lonely in the palace. My husband, please remember to come and support me."

Chu Tianze held her hand and said helplessly, "You, if you are bored, we can leave the palace."

In the past half month, many families have submitted invitations. Bai Chuxiao held a book of invitations and turned her head to say, "My husband is still as charming as ever. Take a look..."

Chu Tianze took the visiting card from her hand and threw it aside. "Xiaoxiao, just play with this. Let's talk about the serious matters. Why don't we take Huanhuan to live in the palace..."

"What are you thinking about? Second brother will fight you to the death." Bai Chuxiao rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

"Okay..." Chu Tianze shook his head disappointedly.

Bai Chuxiao then ordered, "Qingshuang, go and pass on the imperial decree. The families who have submitted the invitations are to bring their daughters to the palace in three days to attend the banquet."

"Yes"

"Mom~", the little bun stumbled into the front hall and went straight to Bai Chuxiao, asking for a hug.

But Chu Tianze twisted it away, "You little brat, you don't even know how to call me father..."

“Father…the emperor…is bad!”, the little kid stretched out his little hand and patted him.

Bai Chuxiao and Chu Tianze showed surprise on their faces, "Baozi finally called you."
