Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After leaving Kunning Palace, Ye Chen did not return directly to Yangxin Palace, but went to Chunxue Palace.

Ever since he sent a large number of musical instruments to Lady Snow, he would often visit Lady Snow's palace.

No reason, just to discuss music with Madam Xue.

Of course, watching Mrs. Xue playing the flute and the piano.

It is also extremely pleasing to the eye.

Ye Chen just held an appreciative attitude.

After all, these music from later generations can't be heard anywhere else except here with Madam Xue.

And because of Madam Xue's noble status, Ye Chen couldn't just invite her to play the flute for him to entertain him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go to Chunxue Palace in person.

In Chunxue Palace.

Various musical instruments are placed in the yard.

Mrs. Xue tried them one by one.

"Your Majesty, this guitar is so hard to play. It's like a pipa, but you have to hold it with one hand."

Mrs. Xue was helpless.

This guitar looks smaller than a pipa, but it needs to be held in one hand and clamped against the head.

This really requires good arm strength.

"Ahem, Madam Xue, how can you play beautiful music without enduring a little hardship and suffering?"

Ye Chen snorted lightly.

He felt that Mrs. Xue was really pretentious.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue pouted and put the guitar down.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to play guitar anymore. I'd rather learn to play the drums. I'll play the drums well. And this suona, it has a really loud sound. It's fun."

Mrs. Xue picked up a suona, her eyes shining.

Ye Chen couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

"Mrs. Xue, you should play the flute."

The suona is too loud.

Ye Chen didn't like to hear it.

It’s still okay to play the flute, the sound of the flute is melodious and not harsh.

Ye Chen likes watching Madam Xue play the flute the most.

"That won't work. There are so many instruments. I need to learn them all."

Mrs. Xue was very dissatisfied. She wanted to step out of her comfort zone and took the initiative to pick up the suona.

Ye Chen could only lower his head and drink tea. Playing the suona took a lot of effort anyway.

Mrs. Snow can only blow for a few strokes.

It's just that your ears will suffer a bit.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Cheng'en suddenly walked up and said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, it's time to eat, Madam Xue, come and eat with me."

Ye Chen stood up and interrupted Mrs. Xue's suona playing.

Seeing this, Madam Xue turned her attention to the delicacies served from the imperial kitchen.

Ye Chen has improved some dishes. Even though the seasoning is insufficient, there is still refined salt.

Therefore, the imperial meals he ate were much more delicious than those that Madam Xue ate.

And when he was already sitting at the stone table, Mrs. Xue couldn't wait to sit next to the stone table as well.

Looking at Mrs. Xue's eager expression, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

This beautiful woman with a noble and charming temperament actually has this side to her.

Who can think of it?

A noble lady in the palace, the sister of the late emperor, Ye Chen’s aunt, she not only loves music, but is also a foodie.

And just when Ye Chen asked someone to serve the dishes.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is calling you over."

Cheng'en suddenly stepped forward and said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter, Queen Mother?"

Ye Chen asked doubtfully.

"I just heard that the Queen Mother wants to see you about something urgent."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

He had just left Su Mengjiao's Kunning Palace not long ago, but he didn't expect Su Mengjiao to come looking for him so soon.

He was a little confused, but still stood up.

"Madam Xue, I have something to do. I have to go to Kunning Palace."

"Ah, Your Majesty, are you not going to eat?"

Madam Xue frowned slightly, with surprise and reluctance showing on her pretty face.

"The Queen Mother must have something important to talk to me about. Meal can wait."

Ye Chen's expression turned serious, and he strode towards the gate of Chunxue Palace.

When Mrs. Xue saw this, she just bit her lip hard.

Then, she watched the eunuchs serving dishes walk towards the courtyard together.

She pouted immediately. Not only was she reluctant to see Ye Chen leave, she even felt a little dissatisfied with Su Mengjiao.

The imperial meal that was about to be served is gone.

She couldn't be happy all day.

In Kunning Palace.

When Ye Chen entered Kunning Palace again, Su Mengjiao was already sitting in the main hall, taking the main seat as her due.

When Ye Chen saw this, he knew that something big had happened, and then he sat directly next to Su Mengjiao.

"Queen Mother, what happened?"

Ye Chen asked with a serious face.

"Emperor, Duke Fuguo is coming."

Su Mengjiao's face turned ugly.

"Ok?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't Duke Fu stationed in the south with his troops? Could it be that he left the barracks without permission?"

"Your Majesty, Duke Fu would never leave the barracks without permission. So who do you think sent him here?"

Su Mengjiao suddenly asked.

Ye Chen reacted almost immediately and said, "Could it be an order from the Secretariat?"

"That's right. Yang Dechang must be trying to use the murder of Duke Fuguo's second son to lure Duke Fuguo here so he can cause trouble for you."

"The Duke of Fuguo has been passed down for six generations. Each generation has contributed greatly to the country. They are arguably the oldest and most prestigious military noble, aside from my father."

"Emperor, Duke Fuguo is definitely not easy to deal with! Even Yang Dechang wouldn't dare to act rashly when he meets Duke Fuguo."

Su Mengjiao's expression was also a little solemn.

The military power represented by Duke Fuguo is the foundation of the entire Dayu.

Today, there is unrest in all directions of Dayu, and a military noble like Duke Fuguo must not be offended.

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, but he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

After he dealt with Cao Kun and Cao Tao, he had already expected that he would have to face Duke Fuguo sooner or later.

But he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
