In the evening, Xiao Chen sent Yan Zi'an to Diao Chan's bedroom and brought Diao Chan to the imperial study.

The Imperial Study Room is about several miles away from Diao Chan's bedroom, that is, the Queen's Palace.

Diao Chan did not bring any palace maids, but came down to the imperial study alone under Yan Zi'an's guidance.

But her arrival caused a lot of sensation.

Although Diao Chan has lived in the palace for a while, she rarely appears due to her personality, so not many people know her in the palace.

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace knew that the new emperor was less than seventeen years old and there was no concubine in the harem.

Now a person who looks like a fairy and looks at Xiao Chen will inevitably make them think too much.

In the boring palace, gossip became their only pleasure.

"You guys say that the woman that Eunuch Yan brought with us is our future queen?"

"It's very likely that I saw that fairy entered the imperial study, and General Li Yuanba did not stop him."

"The guards were released directly, and they entered the imperial study without even checking. Who else has this privilege except the woman whom His Majesty's beloved?"

"Wow, this woman is so happy. She can be so pampered by His Majesty. If His Majesty can treat me like this one day, I would be willing to live for ten years."

"Get out, you have a face that looks like a flower, and you still want to be favored by Your Majesty?"

The moment Diao Chan stepped into the imperial study, she heard the palace maid and eunuch talk. Her pretty face turned slightly red, but she didn't say anything and walked straight into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Xiao Chen was discussing the government affairs with Di Renjie and Jia Xu.

Seeing this scene, Diao Chan was slightly stunned.

Then she turned around and prepared to leave first, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.

"Diao Chan, the matter here will be handled soon. Just wait here for a while!"

When Diao Chan heard this, she stopped, then found a seat and sat down quietly.

Jia Xu and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they did not agree with women listening to political affairs in their hearts.

But they also knew the special relationship between Diao Chan and Xiao Chen, so they didn't have to say much, but instead shifted the topic back to government affairs.

"Your Majesty, the Black Ice Platform originated from the intelligence organization in Shangguan Qingmeng, so we should adapt it as soon as possible to avoid leaving any secrets in Lingyun Trading Company!" Jia Xu suggested.

The Black Ice Platform has an extremely important position in the court and can be said to be the emperor's eyes and ears. If it cannot be fully controlled, it will become the most powerful tool for Lingyun Business to make profits.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Tell Wang Yue that he should strengthen the review of the members of the Black Ice Platform, and kick them out if they cannot be trusted absolutely."

"In addition, let Wang Yue select a group of smart sergeants from the army to fill the Black Ice Platform, and disrupt and reorganize the original establishment of the Black Ice Platform."

Xiao Chen was also wary of Shangguan Qingmeng, and the two sides were more of a cooperative relationship.

Xiao Chen felt frightened by this woman's shrewdness. How could he trust her?

Next, Di Renjie and Jia Xu reported to Xiao Chen in detail about the construction of the army.

Finally, the two told him the time of the throne ceremony discussed by the Ministry of Rites, just seven days later.

"Wenhe, after leaving the palace, he told the palace guards that a few people would come to me these days, so that they would not stop them and let them go directly."

The others Xiao Chen was not worried, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xun Yu were the civil servants who only had martial arts cultivation. Judging from the current strength of the guards in the palace, they could not enter without Xiao Chen's permission.

After Jia Xu and the others left, Xiao Chen stretched, walked to Diao Chan who was sitting on the chair, and smiled and said, "I've let you wait for a long time."

Diao Chan stood up, shook her head and said, "No, it's important for Your Majesty to handle state affairs."

Xiao Chen didn't say anything more, gently pulled Diao Chan's jade hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaohuang Mountain together."

Diao Chan was slightly stunned, as if she was a little uncomfortable with Xiao Chen's actions. She struggled gently, but she did not break free from Xiao Chen's hand, so she had no choice but to give up.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Not refusing means there is a chance.

His relationship with Diao Chan has always been very strange. He likes Diao Chan and has expressed it more than once, but Diao Chan has never responded positively.

Diao Chan has the kind of character that does not show her emotions. Xiao Chen could not see her thoughts at all. In desperation, he could only take the initiative.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the future is still very bright.

Just like this, holding Diao Chan's hand, the two came outside the imperial study room.

The eunuchs and palace maids who saw this scene were more convinced of their previous guesses, and they secretly glanced at Xiao Chen and the others with ambiguous eyes.

Diao Chan was even more shy. Just as she was about to force her jade hand out, Xiao Chen coughed lightly. The eunuchs and palace maids instantly dispersed, leaving only Li Yuanba, a guy who was confused about the charm.

Li Yuanba has always been Xiao Chen's personal bodyguard, and he is basically wherever Xiao Chen is.

"Ahem, Yuanba, you don't need to follow me today. I'll go around Diao Chan, you can go back first!"

Seeing Li Yuanba standing there stupidly, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take the initiative to drive him away.

However, Li Yuanba seemed not to understand Xiao Chen's meaning and asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, what should you do if you are in danger?"

Xiao Chen was anxious and said angrily: "Don't worry, I'm going to Xiaohuang Mountain. With your strength, even if I really encounter any danger, can't you arrive as soon as possible?"

Li Yuanba scratched his head and thought what Xiao Chen said made sense, so he left.

Seeing Li Yuanba leave, Diao Chan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yuanba is very loyal. Your Majesty is so arrogant, aren't you afraid of hurting his heart?"

Xiao Chen said helplessly: "What does it mean to hurt his heart? It's like a couple quarreling. Yuanba is a honest person and doesn't have that much trouble."

Diao Chan shook her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, you can let go now!"

If it were the past, after Diao Chan finished speaking, Xiao Chen would have let go of his hand, but this time he not only did not let go, but instead held it tighter.

He turned his head and stared at Diao Chan's eyes, and said affectionately: "I will not let go. Not only will I not let go now, but I will also hold it for a lifetime. You can't escape!"

The moonlight was a little dim, but Diao Chan's eyes looked extremely bright. She looked directly into Xiao Chen's eyes.

At this moment, the distance between them was less than twenty centimeters, and they could even feel each other's breathing.

After a long time, Diao Chan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could you hold a woman's hand for the rest of your life!"

Xiao Chen was a little silent about this question.

Just as Diao Chan said, he is destined to be alone in his life.

Even if he had this intention, those ministers would keep making suggestions to him.

If the emperor had only one woman, how could he ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline?

Diao Chan took advantage of Xiao Chen's dazed moment and pulled out the jade hand she was being held, and then said leisurely: "Your Majesty, we all need to calm down."

There are only two updates today, and a small explosion tomorrow, and a minimum update is guaranteed!
