Kapitel 1017: Chapter 1015: Who Should be the Empress of the Great Cheng Dynasty?

As she passed the Hall of Diligent Government, court had just been dismissed, and the officials were coming out of the palace road. From afar, they saw a woman seated on the imperial palanquin.

Gathering together, they chitchatted, "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and the harem is still vacant. Who is so bold as to sit on the emperor's palanquin? The path she's taking doesn't seem to lead to the harem, but directly to the emperor's sleeping quarters instead."

After his ascension, Chu Yihan had chosen not to use the sleeping quarters once occupied by Chu Mingyuan. Instead, he selected chambers located between the Hall of Diligent Government and the imperial study as his sleeping quarters, convenient for attending court and handling government affairs.

This move earned the respect of the officials, convincing people everywhere that he cared not for the harem and was a peerless emperor, wholly devoted to governing the land.
