Xue Yu had never thought that he would have the opportunity to stand in the court openly in this life.

In his imagination, when she ascended the throne, he would be satisfied to follow her and serve her day and night.

But now, on the first day that his Highness became his Majesty, she promised him that he would pass the imperial examination and enter the court with honor.

This was the life he once longed for, but it was also the life that was broken.

In front of her, Xue Yu didn't want to appear too useless, lest she despise him. But no matter how hard he tried, his words still choked with sobs:

"But your majesty, I am an inner court official. This is against the rules. They will not agree to it..."

Su Fengyi was a little tired after running around all day, so she said casually:

"Xue Yu, I am the rule. I don't need anyone's consent to do what I want to do. You just need to obey. Those who don't obey don't need to come to me.

As for the imperial examination, you must do your best to take it. Don't let me down if you fail. Also, you should be more polite in calling me a minister. I am a little tired. Call Lu Hong and serve the meal."

Although Su Fengyi spoke lightly, Xue Yu's emotions could not be controlled at once. Tears rolled around in his eyes for several times before finally falling.

Xue Yu bowed deeply to Su Fengyi again, and then said:

"Yes, I will live up to your Majesty's expectations."

When Dangui followed Su Fengyi into the palace, she was completely in the dark, didn't know the people, and didn't know the way. But what she was best at was building relationships, and she was not timid at all. When Xue Yu went out to serve the meal, she followed him.

By dinner time, during the time it took to serve the meal, Dangui and Xue Yu had memorized the faces of all the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, as well as the names, ranks, and duties of dozens of them.

While Su Fengyi was dining with Commander Lu and didn't need anyone to stay by her side, Dangui went to find Xue Yu again and said:

"Your Majesty, you did not bring any luggage with you when you entered the palace this time. Lord Xue, please help me to give you some advice on what is available now. I will see if there is anything missing and send someone back to the Princess's Mansion to get it."

Dangui was thinking that, regardless of other things, His Majesty had to prepare some clothes for changing. Even if the embroidery room started cutting cloth and sewing clothes now, it would take time and could not be done in a short time.

Xue Yu and Dangui are old acquaintances. When Xue Yu was recuperating in the Princess's Mansion, he received a lot of care from Dangui. So even if Su Fengyi didn't instruct him, he would do his best to take care of Dangui and repay her kindness.

Now that His Majesty has given him a new assignment, he is eager to let Dangui learn all the things he has on hand as soon as possible so that he can get away and catch up with His Majesty's pace.

So Xue Yu took a booklet and smiled at Dan Gui:

"Miss Dangui, thank you for your hard work tonight. Let's do it one by one."

……

After Dangui set the dinner table, she tactfully followed Xue Yu and drove everyone else out. Only Su Fengyi and Lu Hong were left in the hall.

Lu Hong had just been locked up in a side hall alone. Everyone was very busy and had something to do, but he was the only useless person. Moreover, when it was too quiet, he would unconsciously think of the emperor whose life or death was uncertain. So when he came over, he looked a little lonely.

Su Fengyi saw through it, and now she could only lock him up, but she didn't want him to be so sad.

So, she planned to find some happy things for him to do, to occupy his mind and make him happy.

In front of Lu Hong, Su Fengyi had no burden, so she leaned back on the chair and said lazily:

"I'm tired. You can eat dinner by yourself. I won't feed you. I'll make it up to you on your next birthday."

Lu Hong's hands were still tied. After hearing what she said, he moved a few times, took off the silk on his hands, and said:

"I come."

Perhaps it was because Xue Yu had served her for a period of time when she was recuperating in the Princess's Mansion and knew her preferences, the dishes on this dinner were all Su Fengyi's favorites.

Lu Hong went to wash his hands. Seeing that she looked very tired, he moved a chair and sat next to her. He gently turned her head over and leaned it on his shoulder, then peeled shrimp for her.

The red spicy shrimps were full of chili peppers and fried crispy on the surface. Lu Hong peeled the shells one by one and fed the fresh and spicy shrimps into her mouth.

The roasted lamb skewers were delicious, with fat and lean parts, and oil was dripping from them. Lu Hong cut them into small pieces with a knife and fed them to her.

After eating a few pieces, Su Fengyi began to protest:

"You have to eat it too. It tastes better when two people eat it together."

Lu Hong nodded in obedience, and then the two of them started to finish their dinner slowly, taking turns to eat a bite, just like they did during the day.

After eating, Su Fengyi didn't want to move anymore and continued to order Lu Hong to work.

Xue Yu decorated the Hall of Mental Cultivation completely according to the layout of the Princess's Mansion, and also placed a small couch for her to read by the window.

Su Fengyi pointed to the small couch by the window:

"where to."

Lu Hong thought she was too full to walk, so he took her hand and tried to help her up. However, he completely underestimated the arrogance and debauchery of a new monarch.

Su Fengyi couldn't get up and continued to give orders:

"Hold me over."

Lu Hong glanced at her and saw that she was not joking, so he bent down and picked her up steadily, walked a few steps to the small couch, and then gently put her on it.

Su Fengyi was still not satisfied:

"Pick a book and read it with me."

"I want to drink water, you feed me."

"Your hands hurt, hold the book."

……

When Dangui came to Su Fengyi to report with the list handed over by Xue Yu, she saw Commander Lu was like a hardworking little bee, being ordered around by His Majesty.

Dangui now saw that everything was like floating clouds, and reported calmly:

"Your Majesty, I have counted everything. Lord Xue has prepared everything properly. He even prepared several boxes of clothes for your Majesty in advance. Other daily necessities are also available. Nothing is missing."

Since there was nothing missing, Su Fengyi began to instruct Lu Hong again:

"I want to take a bath, you come and serve me."
