It has been particularly lively in the former court for the past half month. On the second day of the Flower Festival, the Emperor unexpectedly brought up the major issue of selecting an Empress. This news was as shocking as a thunderbolt, causing a great stir among the court officials.
The Central Palace had been without a mistress for many years. Some old ministers wiped their tears on the spot, thinking they would not live to see the Emperor appoint a new Empress again. Unexpectedly, the Emperor brought it up this time, which was truly wonderful.
In the past, there were also court officials who petitioned for the Emperor to appoint an Empress again, but whether for ulterior motives like the Xue Family or purely for the sake of state affairs, they were all rejected by the Emperor, leaving these old ministers worried but without a solution.
