New Emperor??

I joined my aunt in front of emperor's chambers. Everyone was fake crying like a lunatics.

Of course they were crying like crazy, now that Emperor died everyone who doesn't have children will be shipped off to imperial tomb to guard his grave.

Prime minister walked out of emperor's chamber and everyone's eyes were suddenly locked onto him.

Well, more likely locked onto imperial edict which was in his hands.

You could hear how everybody started to calculate in their heads.

This emperor was around fifty years old, and was on the throne for twenty years. He was pretty good Emperor, as good one can be, but he was quite promiscuous. He had loads of concubines and many children.

Around eighteen sons and fifteen daughters. He had many more, but those didn't manage to survive to this day.

Harem fights are so dangerous. And deadly.

You would think that next Emperor would be chosen earlier, but that wasn't the case.

Emperor kept his mouth shut about that matter. He didn't even name a crown prince.

He probably thought he will live many more years, so he was quite carefree about that.

I was lost in my thoughts again. After all I arrived about half a hour ago, and was still disoriented. And my head was killing me.

In the meantime, Prime Minister already read imperial edict.

I thought next emperor would be third prince. He was loved by the people of Da Qiang and his mother was former empress.

He was around thirty years old and already had five children.

His wangfei was also from powerful family.

But I heard different name being read out.

Jiang Qingyuan.

Who's that?

I see immortal fairy accepting the edict.

I never saw a person more beautiful than that. What a beauty!

Which concubine is that?

Oh, it's a man~

And then it hit me, that was our next Emperor. Daaamn.

You have to understand, I didn't have many hobbies in my past life. But I loved chasing celebrities in my free time.

Especially ones who were good looking.

I was hardcore face fan.

Of course, I was never delusional to fall in love with them. They were mostly my stress relief. I was working all the time, and looking at those angels gave me strength.

So, me being a hardcore face stan, new emperor suddenly got my full attention.

And then I got confused.

Why is such a young prince getting a throne?

And why is young Empress shooting hearts at him with her eyes?

Your husband just died.

And I knew that her father is a Prime minister.

What's happening?

Do I smell a conspiracy?

Many other princes don't look so pleased with this outcome.

Will I survive an aftermath which will ensue?

Emergency alert, can someone get me out of here, immediately~
