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

night.

In the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen quietly finished reading the bamboo slips sent from the Ministry of Revenue, then rubbed his temples.

Most of the poor children Han Yu mentioned were mediocre, and the rest were just minor officials.

Moreover, Ye Chen also discovered that most of these people were from places near the capital, or from several large cities and wealthy provincial capitals in the country.

"It seems that most scholars are only born in wealthy areas and wealthy families. Even if they are from poor families, they still have a poor family background."

"Ordinary people, in this era, have almost no chance of getting ahead."

Ye Chen rolled up the bamboo slips and sighed softly.

These children from poor families are now the only ones he can promote.

But, after all, the number is too small.

Moreover, the monopoly of education by the wealthy and aristocratic families must be resolved, and the Ministry of Personnel must be rectified.

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and he thought silently.

at this time.

Cheng'en suddenly walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's late. Do you want to rest?"

Cheng En said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly. He had come up with some ideas, but for now, he couldn't put them into practice.

"Your Majesty, the new concubine has been prepared. Would you like her to be brought in for you?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and then his heart was burning.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Carry it in."

Several palace maids came in carrying a rolled-up quilt.

Smooth, white jade feet were revealed at the end of the quilt, and long black hair hung down at the other end.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Cheng'en, next time someone comes to sleep with you, don't do all this. Just send them over here."

This method of directly wrapping someone in the quilt and carrying them in had a sense of coercion, which Ye Chen did not like very much.

Moreover, he just threw the person on the bed, and there was no interest in the relationship between husband and wife.

"Yes!"

Cheng'en quickly answered.

"Okay, all of you go down."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

Cheng'en and his men retreated.

Ye Chen stood up and walked to the bed.

In the warm tent of hibiscus, the pistil was wrapped tightly in the quilt.

Ye Chen walked closer and could see that the bedding was shaking slightly.

"Pedigree."

After a while, a response came from under the quilt.

"Hmm~."

Huarui slowly poked her head out from under the quilt, her starry eyes filled with nervousness.

But the skin on her exposed pretty face was so pink and tender that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. A few drops of crystal sweat slowly slid down her flushed white skin.

"Haha, you must be holding it in for a while, I'm here to help you relax."

Ye Chen walked forward and was about to loosen the quilt for Hua Rui.

Upon hearing this, Hua Rui felt flattered.

"No, Your Majesty, let me do it."

Huarui said quickly.

"Haha, no, it's inconvenient for you, don't move."

Ye Chen's tone was gentle, yet commanding.

He just said one sentence.

Huarui trembled all over, but in the end she didn't dare to move.

Ye Chen gently opened the quilt and could clearly feel the heat hidden under it.

A faint fragrance wafts into the air.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and couldn't help but admire it.

"It smells good."

Ye Chen completely untied the quilt, and at this time, he also saw clearly that Hua Rui was only wearing a bellyband and a pair of pants.

Maybe, this is a pair of open-crotch pants.

"Huari, are you feeling better?"

Ye Chen's voice became even gentler.

"Ah."

Hua Rui nodded slightly, but said with both expectation and shyness: "Your Majesty, tonight, I hope you will have mercy on me."

"Don't worry, I will treat you well."

Ye Chen reached out and stroked Hua Rui's pretty face. Looking at Hua Rui's tender yet slightly evasive eyes, he could no longer bear it.

Undress and take off clothes.

Picking up a corner of the quilt, Ye Chen crawled in amid Hua Rui's exclamations.

A gust of wind blew in the Yangxin Palace.

All the candles were blown out.

Then, bursts of suppressed and lascivious sounds were heard, as if someone was whispering.

This night was very restless.

Early the next morning.

Inside the palace, bells rang loudly.

All officials began to attend court.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and instinctively reached out his hand to his side, but only felt a residual warmth.

He was slightly startled, and quickly stood up and turned around to look, only to see Hua Rui, dressed in the clothes of a concubine, kneeling obediently in front of the bed, bowing her head and saying, "Your Majesty, I will help you get up."

"Ah."

Ye Kuang watched Hua Rui bring a copper basin with hot water and a clean towel in it.

He lifted up the quilt and found blood-red stains on the sheets.

Then he looked at Huarui who stood up with awkward steps, obviously enduring the discomfort and helping him wash up.

He couldn't help but feel moved.

If this happened in later times, it would be unimaginable.

The women in later generations would all wish you would bring breakfast to them, and they would never serve you after losing their virginity.

Ye Chen enjoyed Hua Rui's clothing and truly experienced the pleasure of the emperor.

And wait until he finishes washing up.

"Your Majesty, are you going to court today?"

"I won't be going today. I need to go to the Imperial Garden first. Also, have Han Yu invite all those talented people from humble backgrounds into the palace. I want to talk to them. Also notify Du Min and have him wait in the Taiqian Palace."

Ye Chen shook his head. He didn't have enough evidence to deal with the Minister of Personnel.

We also have to wait and see what those children from poor families are like and whether they can really be qualified for official positions in the court.

"promise."

Cheng En said respectfully.

"Hua Rui, you should have a good rest today. I will come to see you again tonight."

Ye Chen then turned to Hua Rui and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Ah."

The flower's face was flushed.

Thinking of last night, she felt very shy. After all, it was her first time, and she couldn't let go. But Ye Chen asked for too much, forcing her to obey him, and she became unlike herself.

However, Ye Chen's enthusiasm for her also surprised her.

As Ye Chen's concubine, she naturally hopes to receive more favor from Ye Chen.

And looking at the well-behaved pistil.

Ye Kuang was very satisfied. When he was about to walk out of Yangxin Palace, Cheng En suddenly came up to him.

"Your Majesty, may I ask which palace the new Concubine should be assigned to?"

Cheng En asked with a smile on his face.

"Well, find someone close to me!"

"promise!"
