"Yes, there is some resemblance." The emperor murmured.

He Shuangying snorted softly, "Your Majesty, I don't think they look alike! Speaking of the jawline, everyone has a mouth, nose, and cheeks. As long as they don't have square faces, they look very similar. The Empress is of noble status, so why does she have to look like me?"

"I just mentioned it casually, why is Sister He so anxious?"

Queen Yan casually presented the yokan to the emperor.

After all, she was the newly crowned queen, and she served the emperor attentively with a smile on her face. How could the emperor not give her face?

He took two spoonfuls of goat milk soup from Empress Yan's hand and rinsed his mouth.

No need for that.

He praised: "It's quite good, fragrant but not smelly, dense and smooth."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your liking." Queen Yan put down the soup bowl and bowed slightly.

She took two steps back, her eyes and brows were gentle, and in a trance she seemed to have become a bit softer than Fei Wan.

"I will not delay Your Majesty's attendance at court, and I respectfully bid you farewell."

The emperor was very satisfied with Queen Yan's behavior today.

After being crowned queen, he had not spent any time with Queen Yan except that night. During this brief encounter, he suddenly felt that Queen Yan was a little gentler than before.

Is it because of my enthronement that she has become more obedient?

After taking two steps, she heard Empress Yan say softly, "After Your Majesty leaves the court, I will discuss with you the promotion of Sister He."

"What are you discussing?" The emperor stopped and looked sideways.

Empress Yan said, "There are some minor matters in the harem. Can we discuss them after you finish your duties at court? I respectfully bid you farewell, Your Majesty."

The emperor wanted to ask a few more questions, but three soft knocking sounds of wooden objects were heard from outside.

This was the final reminder given by the eunuchs in charge of serving the sedan chair to the people in the palace before the court session.

If they didn't leave now, even if the people carrying the sedan chair ran for their lives, they would definitely miss the time for court.

The emperor just paused.

Then he continued to go out.

Queen Yan followed the king, bowed and respectfully saw the dragon carriage off, then slowly stood up.

"What does Her Majesty the Queen have to say about the conferment of titles on this concubine?"

Beside him, He Shuangying, who was seeing him off together, was still looking at the dragon carriage and had already opened her mouth to speak.

Queen Yan ignored her.

He turned around and asked the eunuchs in front of the emperor, "Whom should Your Majesty send to the six palaces to convey the decree regarding He's promotion?"

An eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, we servants are waiting outside the palace and have not heard of this matter. I guess Eunuch Cao hasn't passed down the order yet."

According to convention, Cao Bin would personally convey the imperial decree on the matter of conferring titles on concubines, or he would receive the decree and have the eunuchs under him carry out the task.

Since the eunuch said so, Queen Yan knew it. Before Cao Bin could convey the order, she blocked him in the palace.

"Then we will wait for His Majesty to come back and make a decision. The imperial decree must not be spread around, so you all should pay attention." Queen Yan ordered.

The palace maids responded quickly.

Since the Queen has spoken, naturally no one will act rashly.

He Shuangying stood beside him with a cold expression on her face, one corner of her mouth slightly raised, showing disdain.

"Why, His Majesty has already decided to promote me to the rank of Sixth Rank Selected Consort, are you all going to disobey his order?"

The eunuchs in front of the emperor all lowered their heads, like wooden stakes, and no one responded.

Miss He didn't dare to contradict the Empress, so she used them as a raft and they refused to accept the attack.

Beside Empress Yan, Linglong respectfully reminded He Shuangying: "My dear He, the selection of concubines is from the sixth rank, not the sixth rank."

He Shuangying's expression changed.

Eye circles are red.

She bit her lips tightly, tears about to fall.

But he forced himself to hold it back.

After a while, he said, "Okay, okay, from the sixth rank..."

Let’s see if I can get the sixth rank, or even higher!
