After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Chapter 172 It’s Time to Disband the Harem

Yuxiu Palace.

From the moment Shuanghua was sent to the palace in mystery to the moment she met Song Nihuan, she was completely confused.

From panic to surprise.

I thought the young lady must have met with misfortune, but I didn't expect that she would actually enter the palace. What I didn't expect even more was that the second young master would become the emperor!

The circumstances of life are truly unpredictable, with blessings and disasters coming one after another!

"Little..." Shuanghua was about to speak, but she caught a glimpse of the cold eyes of the palace maid serving beside her, and hurriedly changed her words, "Madam, please have some sweet soup. His Majesty asked me to watch you eat more."

The maidservant at the side said, "Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently and cannot come to see you often, so he sent me to bring you some food. The sweet soup for warming up in winter is prepared by the director of the Imperial Hospital. The ladies in the previous dynasty often drank it. If you use a little, it will not be in vain for your Majesty's kindness."

Song Nihuan looked at the silver plate brought in by the maid, and took it reluctantly and took a sip. It was sweet at first, but when she tasted it carefully, she found it had a familiar taste.

After the miscarriage, Xie Yunji also ordered someone to make her a tonic medicine to drink, but she couldn't swallow it at that time. She felt bitter and worried, and she gave up on herself and wished she could die with the poor child...

Now Song Nihuan didn't want to disobey Xie Tan, so she raised her neck and drank the "sweet soup" in one gulp.

He was a considerate person and didn't want others to know her private affairs, so he ordered it to be "sweet soup" and added licorice honey to it.

He was concerned about her health for her own good.

He had been very good, helping her get Lan Zhi back and tolerating her deliberate distance from him.

Song Nihuan smiled calmly. Since she wanted to thank him, she should not be sad in front of him anymore and should put away her fragility, sensitivity and stubbornness.

After finishing the meal, Song Nihuan asked the maidservant beside her, "What has the emperor been busy with recently?"

In fact, Xie Tan did not ban her from walking. She could walk around the inner palace and even the entire palace on her own, but she always wanted to keep a distance from him and minimize the traces of her presence.

The maid said, "Your Majesty has recently been discussing with the cabinet scholars how to properly bury the late emperor, so I don't know about the rest of the servants."

Song Nihuan looked at the falling snow outside the window, thinking that Xie Tan had just ascended the throne and she didn't know how he had come to this point, but after hearing the rumors about him outside, she knew that the throne was not easy to come by.

The Xiao royal family was not extinct, and although the former princes were stripped of their military power and imprisoned by Xie Tan, their lives were not taken.

Song Nihuan felt that if she were him, she would not dare to close her eyes and sleep in the middle of the night.

On his side, Xie Tan was discussing the funeral ceremonies and posthumous title of the late emperor with several people in the cabinet.

How could an emperor who plotted to usurp the throne hold a funeral and propose a posthumous title for his predecessor?

All the civil and military officials thought that the man who had seized the Xiao family's kingdom with an iron fist would abuse his power at will.

However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not change back to his original surname, but continued to use the imperially bestowed surname "Xiao".

Not only that, he was also very lenient when dealing with the remnants of the Xiao royal family.

For a moment, all the ministers were unsure of his temper, but the man on the throne was cold and indifferent, and did not look easy to get along with. It seemed that they still needed to get used to each other and spend more time together.

After several days of discussion, the cabinet finally decided on the posthumous title for the late emperor, Emperor Wu Mingyi.

The Grand Secretaries still had government affairs to discuss, and the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace said, "Regarding the issue of the princes retaining their titles, I think..."

Xie Tan waved his hand, "Alright, there's no need to talk about this anymore. I've seized their fiefdoms, taken away their military power, and sent part of the Twelve Regiments to guard them. What else can they do?"

There was no emotion in Xie Tan's words, but the chill in his eyes made people speechless.

The Grand Secretaries were all shrewd men. They knew that the new emperor was too cruel and wanted to show magnanimity to the princes of the previous dynasty in order to gain a good reputation.

Although all the princes were kept, they were all terrified and kept in their palaces. One of them drowned in a pond last month due to excessive drinking, and another went crazy a few days ago.

It is said that the world is ruled by benevolence, but in fact it is just a change of sinister and cruel means.

The eunuch came in and whispered a few words. Xie Tan's eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hand and said to the university scholars: "That's enough. I'm tired. Let's stop here today."

The Grand Secretaries were unwilling to give up. "Your Majesty's harem is empty, and it's time to select concubines to enter the palace, but why is there no movement... Your Majesty should recruit more girls from good families to fill the harem and have more children."

Xie Tan smiled and said, "I am still young, and I haven't even appointed a queen yet. If I accept many beauties into the harem, what kind of person would I be?"

He had no interest in arguing with them any further, so he casually flipped through the memorials on the table and said directly: "The beautiful ladies selected in the previous dynasty are still in the palace. In my opinion, they should all be dismissed to avoid wasting their prime youth."

The grand secretaries also felt that the beauties selected by the previous dynasty should not serve the current emperor, so it would be better to dismiss them.

We have reached a consensus on this matter, so let's move on to the next matter. Does the emperor mean to establish the queen first? !

Just as he was about to say more, he saw the emperor frowning and looking tired, so he quickly said goodbye, "Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."

The previous Prime Minister Wang Yuan had accumulated a lot of power and authority, and he wanted to restrain the imperial power. Unexpectedly, he was removed by Emperor Wu Mingyi overnight.

The late emperor cleaned the court too thoroughly, leaving a bright and clear world for the crown prince to paint.

Now everything is reshuffled, and no one wants to be the one who offends the emperor.

It's not that the emperor should not be interested in women. It is indeed the right way to establish the queen first. Once this news spreads, countless nobles will be eager to get their daughters into the palace.

I wonder whose daughter will be favored by the new emperor...
