Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1559 Reshuffle in Liang City (5)

.cοm 

Having someone unknown coming over and watched Liang City would only make him more uncomfortable. Hmm, he will try to ask some of the people later on, then.

Long Qian Xing nodded and didn't dwell on the matter. Anyway, there were still a lot of works to do.

*sigh*

Why did he have to be the one handling these paperwork? Even if they were using bamboo scrolls and not paper, it was still a hassle to look at so many records like this.

Long Qian Xing felt that he could never escape the fate of looking through paperwork. 

No matter which world it is, there will definitely be time when he had to work and reviewed a lot of papers.

So tiring…

…

In the evening, Emperor Yang Zhou called for Princess Yue to come. They had basically settled the major problems that had occurred on Liang City and also transferred necessary personnel arrangement. 

The rest was the work of the people below them.

It was actually not so easy to finish the work, but Emperor Yang Zhou didn't settle all problems and only the most critical ones first. The rest could be finished slowly while they were also preparing for the reward ceremony.

After all, they only had so much hands and time.

Emperor Yang Zhou had no intention to be the extremely strict ruler who will decide everything by himself. If he had to do everything on his own, what was the use of these people below him?

Let them all work first. 

With Prime Minister Lan there, he would be the one to do the preparation for the reward ceremony, which will also take some time.

Emperor Yang Zhou honestly felt that it would be tiring but also delightful. After all, it has been his dream for a long time to conquer Zhang Xu Kingdom that had been a thorn in his eyes. 

"Princess Yue has arrived."

"Let her in."

Princess Yue had changed her attire slightly. Previously, she was staying in the Imperial Palace as one of the few empress dowagers. The dressing she had to use was relatively dark in color, which made her look a bit gloomy yet dignified.

It was hard for her to use those colors considering that she was still in her early twenties and didn't really have much intention to actually calm down like those others women. It was only due to the harshness of the Imperial Palace that she had no other choice but to grow up and learned many methods to protect herself.

Because in that cold palace, she only had herself and her maidservants who truly cared for her.

For many years, there were no one else.

She wanted to come out too, but it was not that easy. There were many people who were watching her and Princess Yue felt suffocated when she thought about how she had to maintain the same graceful appearance at all time.

Because no matter what she felt inside, she had to show the same polite appearance on the surface.

It was the only possible way for her to survive.

"Your Majesty." Princess Yue curtsied in accordance to etiquette.

Looking at Princess Yue in front of him, Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and glanced at the servant at the side. "I'll give you this token. You can arrange the women and servants in this Imperial Palace to work or dismiss them as you wish for as long as you want. When you're done with it, you can either stay here or go back to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City."

There were a lot of women in the Imperial Harem.

Some of them were the women of the previous Emperor and some others were the women of the other princes.

They were all staying in the palace and has been having a difficult time. Because they knew that from now on, they no longer had any status whatsoever. 

In their early years, these women worked hard in order to survive and earn a better place. They schemed against each other, fight their own battle at the backyard, and many others. All for the sake of a better life.

But in the end, all of them lost.

Because their own kingdom is not strong enough and fell in the hands of another kingdom.

From now on, they were no longer the dignified women of the Emperor but nothing more than the widow of the deceased Emperor who had failed.

Their status has become very different.

And their lives would also be different.

To be honest, there were many ways to arrange them. After all, the eunuchs in the palaces were not for show. They were there for the sake of maintaining the Imperial Palace and everything there.

They were naturally also familiar with the women in the Imperial Palaces and have their own way to deal with them.

But Emperor Yang Zhou considered this matter for some time before coming to a decision.

Back then in Wei Da Kingdom, he handed over the matter of the harem to the people who worked there. The eunuchs were still reused but only in that place to settle the women from Wei Da Kingdom's Harem.

Now they were in Zhang Xu Kingdom and Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to do something different.

Because here, there's a person from the Fei Yang Kingdom.

And she's also a person who had contributed to the downfall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, even if it was only done covertly in secret. But he still acknowledged what his half sister had done. 

So this matter…

Can be said to be a reward for her.

A reward for everything she has done over the years. 

Even if her intention to do these and passed the information was not pure, but it was enough for Emperor Yang Zhou to know that Princess Yue is loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Emperor Yang Zhou paused for a moment and then added, "And if you wish to get married again, you can tell me and I'll arrange it. If not, I'll let you stay idle."
