Myriad Realms Summoning System

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

The imperial study was probably several miles away from Diao Chan's bedroom, which was also the Queen's Palace.

Diao Chan did not bring any palace maids with her, but came to the imperial study alone under the guidance of Yan Zian.

But her arrival caused quite a stir.

Although Diao Chan had lived in the palace for some time, due to her personality, she rarely showed up, so not many people in the palace knew her.

All the palace maids and eunuchs knew that the new emperor was less than seventeen years old and did not even have a concubine in the harem.

Now that a person who looks like a fairy comes to see Xiao Chen, it is inevitable that they will think too much.

In the boring palace, gossip became their only entertainment.

"Do you think the woman that Eunuch Yan brought with him is our future queen?"

"It's very likely. I saw that fairy enter the imperial study, and General Li Yuanba didn't stop her."

"The guards let him in without even checking him. Who else has this privilege except the woman your majesty loves?"

"Wow, this woman is so lucky to be loved by His Majesty. If His Majesty can treat me like this one day, I would be willing to shorten my life by ten years."

"Get lost! With your face as beautiful as a flower, you still want to be favored by His Majesty?"

The moment Diao Chan stepped into the imperial study, she heard the conversation of the palace maids and eunuchs. Her pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything and walked straight into the imperial study.

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

Seeing this scene, Diao Chan was slightly stunned.

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

"Diao Chan, things here will be dealt with soon, just wait here for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Diao Chan stopped, found a seat and sat down quietly.

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

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

"Your Majesty, the Black Ice Platform originated from the intelligence organization in Shangguan Qingmeng's hands, so we'd better reorganize it as soon as possible to prevent Lingyun Commercial Bank from leaving any hidden cards in it!" Jia Xu suggested.

The Black Ice Platform holds an extremely important position in the imperial court. It can be said to be the eyes and ears of the emperor. If it cannot be fully controlled, it will become the most powerful tool for Lingyun Trading Company to make profits.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Tell Wang Yue to strengthen the review of the members of the Black Ice Platform and kick out anyone who cannot be absolutely trusted."

"Also, have Wang Yue select a group of smart soldiers from the army to fill the Black Ice Platform and disrupt and reorganize the original structure of the Black Ice Platform."

As for Shangguan Qingmeng, Xiao Chen also remained sufficiently vigilant towards her, and the relationship between the two parties was more of a cooperative one.

This woman's cleverness made Xiao Chen feel frightened, so how could he trust her?

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

Finally, the two of them informed him of the date of the coronation ceremony agreed upon by the Ministry of Rites, which was seven days later.

"Wenhe, after you leave the palace, tell the guards at the palace gate that several people will come to see me in the next few days. Tell them not to stop them and let them pass."

Xiao Chen was not worried about the others, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xun Yu and other civil officials only had the cultivation of martial artists. Considering the current strength of the guards in the imperial palace, they could not enter without Xiao Chen's permission.

After Jia Xu and the other two left, Xiao Chen stretched himself, walked to Diao Chan who was sitting on a chair, and said with a smile: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Diao Chan stood up and shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, it is more important to deal with state affairs."

Xiao Chen didn't say anything more. He gently took Diao Chan's 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 slightly, but failed to break free from Xiao Chen's hand, so she could only give up helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. No rejection meant there was hope.

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

Diao Chan was the type of person who never showed her emotions, and Xiao Chen had no idea what she was thinking. In desperation, he could only take the initiative.

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

Holding Diao Chan's hand, the two of them came to the outside of the imperial study.

The eunuchs and palace maids who saw this scene became even more certain of their previous guess, and they secretly glanced at Xiao Chen and the others with ambiguous eyes.

Diao Chan was now even more shy, and just as she was about to forcibly pull her hand away, Xiao Chen coughed lightly, and the eunuchs and palace maids instantly dispersed, leaving only Li Yuanba, a guy who didn't understand romance.

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

"Ahem, Yuanba, you don't need to follow me today. I'm going to take a walk with Diao Chan. You can go back first!"

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

However, Li Yuanba did not seem to understand Xiao Chen's meaning, and asked blankly: "Your Majesty, if I leave, what will you do if you are in danger?"

Xiao Chen was furious and said unhappily: "Don't worry, I'm just going to Xiaohuang Mountain for a stroll. With your strength, even if I really encounter any danger, can't you rush to me as soon as possible?"

Li Yuanba scratched his head, felt that what Xiao Chen said made sense, and left.

Diao Chan watched Li Yuanba leave, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yuanba is very loyal. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of hurting his feelings by driving him away like this?"

Xiao Chen said helplessly: "What do you mean by hurting his heart? You make it sound like a young couple quarreling. Yuanba is an honest man, there is no such thing as that."

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

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

He turned his head and stared into Diao Chan's eyes, saying affectionately: "I will not let go, not only now, but also for the rest of my life, you can't escape!"

The moonlight was a little dim, but Diao Chan's eyes seemed extremely bright, and 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 while, Diao Chan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Zhou, how can you hold a woman's hand for your whole life!"

Xiao Chen was silent about this question.

Just like Diao Chan said, he was destined not to have only one woman in his life.

Even if he had this intention, his ministers would continue to advise him otherwise.

If the emperor has only one woman, how to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline?

Diao Chan took advantage of Xiao Chen's daze to pull out her hand, then said leisurely: "Your Majesty, we all need to calm down."
