Chapter 1227 Selecting a Young Girl to Enter the Palace

In the past six months or so, the emperor has acted decisively and vigorously in the court, and he has firmly grasped the originally scattered government and opposition parties in his hands.

The few things in the hands of the Empress Dowager were also taken back by Zhao Yuanjing silently.

Even the rights to the harem.

The Empress Dowager has changed from a powerful ancestor to an unemployed old woman. It is normal for her to be unhappy.

Zhao Yuanjing didn't want to make her unhappy anymore because of this trivial matter.

To him, whether Zhou Yizhi would stay in the palace or where he was going was a trivial matter.

Now that the Queen has brought it up, she is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, so she still has to give her some face.

"Zhou Yizhi, you want to leave the palace and march into the army. I agree. But... you can't go out with the name of the late emperor's concubine. This is disrespectful to the late emperor." Zhao Yuanjing said.

Zhou Yizhi looked at Yun Dai and said hesitantly: "What does the emperor mean?"

"I will demote you to a commoner, let you return home freely, and then let you march into the army. Are you willing?"

Zhou Yizhi was surprised and happy, and immediately knelt down: "I do."

When she entered the palace to be the late emperor's concubine, she had no choice but to do so.

She had no feelings for the late emperor at all. Now that the late emperor had passed away a long time ago, she had absolutely no intention of giving him the thought of being a widow.

For her, if she meets a suitable man in the future, she won't mind marrying again.

She didn't know how happy she was to get rid of the title of the late emperor's concubine and become a free person.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanjing asked someone to draw up a decree and let Zhou Yizhi leave the palace and return home.

Yun Dai said: "When the Empress Dowager gets the news later, she will probably be angry again."

"If she wants someone to accompany her, I will choose a considerate maid to accompany her. If she feels that the maids are not qualified, then I will select a young girl from the clan branch to enter the palace." Zhao Yuanjing said.

Yun Dai smiled and said, "That's an idea."

If the ladies from the side branches of the clan could enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, it would be a huge improvement to her status.

The Empress Dowager is happy to accompany her, so giving her the title of princess would be great.

Even if you are not so lucky, after staying in the palace and being trained by the Empress Dowager, you will definitely be good in all aspects. When I get married in the future, all high-ranking families will also rush to get it.

All in all, such an opportunity is something they can't even ask for.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Yuanjing said, "In that case, the queen will choose a suitable girl from the clan to enter the palace."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've taken note of this."

Yun Dai said, "Then, after Yi Zhi leaves the palace, he will take a position in the army..."

Zhao Yuanjing pinched her cheek and said amusedly: "You are quite good at planning for her. Why are you thinking about her position in the army?"

Zhou Yizhi was also a little embarrassed.

In a place like the military, there is no way to talk about relationships and respect.

If you want to get promoted, you have to rely on your true skills, fight with swords and guns, and make achievements.

Zhou Yizhi has been with his father in the army since he was a child, so he naturally knows these things.

She gently pulled down Yun Dai's sleeve and shook her head at her.

She was just happy to be there.

Otherwise, it all depends on your own ability.

Zhao Yuanjing saw the little moves between the two of them and smiled and said: "The queen knows that when the little emperor's uncle came to the army at the age of twelve, he only started from the rank of seventh rank. With his ability and military exploits, he rose to the top of the army. Thousands of households, commander-in-chief, admiral and governor-general positions. Just because he is a son of the royal family, we do not give him special treatment."
