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

Xie Yunjie walked out of the palace, feeling empty in the heart but his mind was very busy.

Various speculations continue to emerge.

Why was she a prostitute in the previous dynasty?

Why is she not Jiang anymore?

Does your brother know about this?

Big brother must not know that she is still alive.

Does she know that her elder brother is still alive?

Now that you're back, big brother, why don't you report back to the palace?

However, the emperor was particularly lenient towards him during this summons and did not pursue the matter regarding his sudden question in the court. Why was that?

For the first time, a heavy look of sadness appeared on the young man's handsome face.

He felt as if he had glimpsed something he shouldn't have known.

When they arrived at the Hanlin public room, a colleague asked, "Hey, little Xie Tanhua, are you just off duty?"

The visitor carefully looked at the young man in front of him. How could he look so good in the green official robe? How did he do that?

The previous engagement broke the hearts of many girls. Who knew that Mrs. Feng was such an unlucky woman? I wonder who will be the winner of the imperial examination this time?

How will he deal with the Feng family then?

However, a woman who is worse than a concubine is not worth talking about in public.

Xie Yunjie said, "I'm on duty tonight, come and pack some things."

"On duty?" The official looked a little surprised. "Your Majesty hasn't asked the Hanlin to be on duty for a while. He just asked for confidential information on duty."

Xie Yunjie did not comment. After packing up the necessary items, he nodded and left.

It would certainly be uncomfortable for officials to sleep overnight in the palace, so Xie Yunjie only packed some books and simple bedding to prepare for the night.

Lying on the bed, looking at the top of the tent.

It was already very late, but he was very energetic and couldn't fall asleep.

I can’t figure out the questions in my mind.

My thoughts are mixed up, like a tangled mess.

And there is Feng, ah... she is a lady from a wealthy family, but she was able to stop him today and beg him to "take her in".

It seems that he was forced to do it.

Who forced her to do this? She was already safe... No, she must be afraid that she would be kicked out one day because of her unclear identity.

She is a lowly person, she is also a lowly person...

The night was long and Xie Yunjie's thoughts gradually became blurred. When he was about to fall asleep, he heard the voice of the eunuch: "Little Master Xie, wake up, His Majesty is calling you over."

Xie Yunjie opened his eyes, rubbed his face, immediately stood up, washed his face with cold water to clear his mind, and then followed the eunuch to the emperor's bedroom.

According to convention, the emperor would summon Hanlin before attending court.

Xie Yunjie stepped into the warm room next to the main hall, and sure enough, the young emperor was already dressed and sitting on the throne, writing something.

Xie Yunjie didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him and just knelt down before the emperor.

I don't know how long I knelt, but the sky had turned from dark to a dark blue.

But Xie Yunjie was very calm and had no resentment.

A few days ago, the emperor dealt with the royal family of the previous dynasty who were implicated in Zheng Daxueshi's anti-poem. The emperor did not kill them, but ordered the two royal family members to wear mourning for their clan.

Wearing mourning clothes means that if any of the Xiao clan members dies, they all have to mourn. There are many rules during the mourning period, such as no laughing or joking, and there are clear restrictions on clothing, hair, and diet. More importantly, no children can be born.

Basically, these two members of the royal family can only have sad faces every day and pray that the aunts and uncles in the clan can live longer.

But how was it possible? Being locked up in the mansion was depressing enough, like a frightened bird. When he fell ill, there was no capable physician to treat him. Two of them died within a month.

The two princes of the royal family couldn't even cry enough. They stayed up all night guarding the mourning hall, and they looked like eggplants hit by frost.

This soft knife, which did not cause much harm but was extremely insulting, hung over the head of every court official.

So now the emperor just asked him to kneel, and Xie Yunjie didn't think it was a big deal.

"Thank you, sir." Xie Tan suddenly asked, "If I want to make Madam Mingde my queen, what should I do?"

Xie Yunjie tried to look calm and said slowly, "Your Majesty, although Madam Mingde has been freed from her official title, she is no longer fit to be the queen."

The emperor did not speak for a long time, and there was a strong sense of oppression in the air.

Xie Yunjie had never expected that the so-called consultation was actually about such a major matter as the appointment of the empress. Logically speaking, Song Nihuan's status was such that she could never be the empress. The empress was to be the mother of the country and a role model for all women in the world. She was married for the second time and was once a lowly person. It was a great fortune for her to be able to enter the palace to serve the emperor.

But the emperor's meaning was already very clear.

Hanlin is for consultation.

"Since this is the case, I dare to give you some advice." Xie Yunjie did not raise his head, but continued to bow and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any weapons that you have used that are now in the hands of the people?"

Xie Tan was silent for a moment, then replied, "Of course there is."

"Your Majesty, please mention this weapon at the morning court today. I will order a nationwide search for the lost weapons." Xie Yunjie said, "Your Majesty can't forget the old items you used when you were young. This shows that your Majesty has not forgotten the old acquaintances."

"The fact that Your Majesty and Madam Mingde are old acquaintances should be spread among the people. I think the people will praise Your Majesty for not forgetting his childhood love even after ascending to the throne."

This matter is not difficult, because the emperor is the founding emperor, he came from the people, and he himself is not orthodox. Although marrying a noble lady from an aristocratic family as his queen can more effectively prove and support his orthodox position, the emperor obviously does not want to do so. In this case, he will follow the special criteria for the founding emperor to choose his queen, that is, the emperor must have someone he loves among the people.

How can we not praise him for not forgetting his old love after becoming emperor?

"Your idea is very good." The emperor chuckled from the high throne, but there was no smile in his eyes. "How did you know that Song was my childhood love?"
