Nianci Palace.
Consort Wu Xian, no, she was now Empress Dowager Wu.
Empress Dowager Wu was dressed neatly.
He had been sitting there for two hours.
From her tightly clenched fists, it could be seen that her heart was not as calm as she appeared to be.
Nervousness, anticipation, excitement, all sorts of emotions were mixed together.
It made it difficult for her to calm down.
She knew that as the son of the new emperor, he must be busy with national affairs.
She didn't have the time to care about the relationship between mother and son.
But she understood that when her son had some free time, he would definitely come to the palace to see her.
Therefore, she was waiting.
She was waiting for her son to arrive.
For this moment, she had spent two hours dressing herself up.
She used a thick layer of foundation and rouge to wipe her face.
She used a crown of red flowers to cover her pale hair.
She didn't want her son to worry, nor did she want to tire him out.
She sat there without moving an inch, afraid that she would mess up her luxurious clothes and embarrass the son of the new emperor.
Finally, a beautiful and clever palace maid ran in happily.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, His Majesty is here.”
"His Majesty has reached the bend in the garden.”
Empress Dowager Wu's eyes started to turn red.
She knew that her son would come.
He came back whenever he was free.
"Mother."
"Mother."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but shout as soon as he entered the Nian Ci Palace.
At this moment, he only wanted to fly into this warm palace.
His entire body was filled with warmth.
All of this came from the memories of his predecessor.
However, he did not reject it.
He strode into Nian Ci's palace.
The originally reserved and kind Empress Dowager Wu burst into tears when she saw the familiar figure.
"Mother, your son has made you worry.”
Zhu Qiyu had thought that in this world, no one was worthy of him kneeling.
But at this moment, he followed his heart's choice.
Seeing Empress Dowager Wu reminded him of his mother from his previous life.
He thought of her hunched body and her kind face.
"Mother."
"Yu 'er, no, my son is the emperor, the emperor. Mother can't call you like before.”
Empress Dowager Wu hugged her son tightly.
She looked left and right. When she saw that her son's complexion was ruddy, his breath was long, and his body was healthy, she immediately knelt on the ground again.
"Thank you, Bodhisattva, for your blessings. My son is safe, my son is safe.”
The young eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him tactfully left.
The mother and son had never felt so relaxed before.
They no longer had to worry, avoid anything, or be afraid of anyone obstructing them.
Because Zhu Qiyu was the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
He was the supreme Son of Heaven.
In this world, no one dared to point fingers at him anymore.
The mother and son could talk as long as they wanted to.
He could come whenever he wanted.
All of this was because of the authority in his hands.
Zhu Qiyu held his mother's arm, stood up, and walked out of the hall.
They enjoyed the autumn scenery for a while.
Empress Dowager Wu hadn't noticed these exotic flowers and plants for many years.
But now, she felt that these flowers and plants were really beautiful.
"Emperor, you are busy every day, you don't have to accompany mother.”
Empress Dowager Wu looked at her son and said,"Mother knows that you still have a pile of mess to clean up.”
"Go do your work. In the future, you will live in the palace. Are you afraid that you will not have time to see Imperial Mother?”
Zhu Qiyu smiled." Mother, today's court affairs are almost done." Let your son accompany you."
Empress Dowager Wu patted her son's hand and said gratefully,"The little eunuch beside you, Wang Cheng, is very good at making me happy. He told me that the civil and military officials in the court discussed that you have the grace of Emperor Yong Le.”
"It seems that you have grown up and are going to restore the glory of your ancestors.”
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Wu seemed to remember something.
"Right, Emperor. You've just entered the palace, so you lack capable eunuchs by your side. Mother has two that she has trained for many years.”
Then, she called two young eunuchs over.
These two people were called Gao Ping and Xing An.
According to Empress Dowager Wu's introduction.
They had followed her for many years and were loyal to her. The reason why she was able to stay in the palace all these years and not suffer too much was because of the two of them.
He was smart and capable.
Of course, the most important thing was loyalty.
Zhu Qiyu naturally valued the two eunuchs gifted by his mother.
He did not delay and gladly accepted it.
Currently, besides Cheng Jing and Shu Liang, the other eunuchs were all too young and could not take charge of their own affairs.
With these two well-trained, it saved him a lot of trouble.
The two eunuchs, Gao Ping and Xing An, prostrated themselves on the ground. They were too excited and their bodies were trembling.
"Empress Dowager, please rest assured. This servant will serve His Majesty just like how I served you.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded to the two of them,"Get up."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Before Zhu Qiyu left, Empress Dowager Wu ordered someone to take out a small box of gold ingots and jewelry.
"Emperor, mother knows that the national treasury is empty. Next, there will be war, and many things will require money. Mother still has some savings, you can use them first.”
Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to refuse, but seeing his mother's sincere and stern tone, he was shocked.
He had to accept it.
"These few days, you have to use both kindness and intimidation. You have to reward as much as you can. How can you lack these worldly possessions?”
Empress Dowager Wu muttered a few more words before reluctantly urging Zhu Qiyu to quickly settle the government affairs.
"Then I will take my leave. When dinner time comes, your son will accompany mother to eat.”
Zhu Qiyu bowed deeply.
Empress Dowager Wu nodded happily.”
After Zhu Qiyu left Nian Ci Palace, his expression gradually turned cold.
Although his mother had concealed it well, he could still see her pale white hair and her thin, weathered face.
This was all thanks to Empress Dowager Sun.
At this moment, the new commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tang Jian, rushed over with a large number of energetic Embroidered Uniform Guards.
After paying his respects, he reported.
" Your Majesty, Wang Zhen's henchmen have arrested a total of 216 people, seized nearly eight million taels of property, hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the suburbs of the capital, 128 mansions, and 1,360 shops…"
Tang Jian's ability was indeed super strong. It had only been half a day, and he had already finished all the things he instructed.
"Not bad."
Zhu Qiyu praised.
"Your Majesty, there is still a group of Wang Zhen's remaining evil people hiding in the Cining Palace. I dare not make arbitrary decisions and have come to ask for an edict." Tang Jian hesitated for a moment before saying it.
"Is she trying to cover up for me? Humph." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
He turned around and looked at the eunuchs Gao Ping and Xing An behind him."The two of you are very familiar with the harem. Go and assist Commander Tang in handling the case in Cining Palace.”
"Yes."
Xing An and Gao Ping knew that this was the new emperor asking them to surrender.
