"Preposterous! Lord Wang, don't worry. I will give you justice. Men, take these three unruly people away!”The middle-aged man ordered.
"Yes, sir!" As he spoke, the soldiers behind him walked forward.
"Lord Liu, you have such great authority!" Ling Xiaoyi slowly turned around and sneered.
"Ah!" When Lord Liu saw Ling Xiaoyi, his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground.""This lowly official did not know that the emperor had arrived, please forgive me, emperor!”
"Long live the Emperor!" When the commoners heard Lord Liu's words, they all knelt down and kowtowed. The purple robed man looked at Ling Xiaoyi in shock, then turned to look at me. The wretched man was even more frightened. He staggered and knelt down, trembling non-stop.
"Ha! How dare you! They actually protected each other under my eyes and wanted to arrest people without distinguishing right from wrong! Guanyang Kingdom has evil officials like you!”Ling Xiaoyi opened his fan and said angrily.
"I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Lord Liu cried out involuntarily.
Then, Ling Xiaoyi turned around and stared at the perverted man."General Wang! Do you know your sins?"
"I know my sins!" The wretched man replied while lying on the ground.
"You're not only guilty, you're guilty!”Ling Xiaoyi closed his fan and pointed at him." You harmed the people, caused trouble on the streets, and harassed my Empress in public. Just based on this, I can kill your entire family!"”
"Emperor, please forgive me! This servant won't dare to do it again, please forgive me, Your Majesty!”the wretched man begged.
Empress? Zi Lie looked at the woman in surprise. That's right, how could such a beauty be an ordinary woman?
This kid actually exposed his identity, seriously! Wouldn't that let Eunuch Chen and the others know that we sneaked out!
"Men, send Wang Jiang and Liu Zhi to the Ministry of Justice! Wait until Zhen returns to the palace to deal with it!" Ling Xiaoyi ordered.
Depressed! You didn't bring anyone with you when you came, okay? Who are you ordering now?
"Yes, sir!" Unexpectedly, the soldiers behind Lord Liu took the two of them and sent them to the Ministry of Justice.
The emperor has great power! He could give orders to all the officers and soldiers.
"Everyone, disperse!" I instructed everyone. It really didn't feel good to be surrounded by people.
"Giddy! Go!" Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves again, but this time, the number of people was far greater than before. Who was so cunning?
"Phew!" Oh no! It was actually Eunuch Chen!
Eunuch Chen quickly dismounted and knelt down. Your servant kowtows to the Emperor and Empress. Your Majesty and Empress, please follow me back to Fo An Temple!”
Unhappy! He was caught not long after he came out!
"Salute!" Ling Xiaoyi said indifferently. He then walked to my side and whispered,"Yu 'er, I'll bring you to play some other day.”I could only give up and obediently get into the sedan chair.
When they returned to the temple, Ling Xiaoyi immediately asked Eunuch Chen how he knew we were on the street. Eunuch Chen said,""Replying to the emperor, the abbot sent someone to deliver freshly plucked fruits and was prepared to give them to the emperor and the empress to enjoy, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from the emperor. This servant thought…So this servant recently discovered that the emperor was not around, so I sent someone to search quietly. I searched the entire temple but did not see the emperor and the empress. Just now, the emperor asked this servant to find two sets of clothes, so this servant boldly guessed that the emperor must have left the temple, so I quickly rushed over. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Eunuch Chen, get up. You are innocent.”Ling Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said,"How long more until the sacrifice?"”
"Replying to the emperor, there's still an hour.”
"Alright, you can leave first." Ling Xiaoyi instructed.
I changed my clothes with Ling Xiaoyi and asked the servant girl to comb my complicated hairstyle. I sat at the table and ate grapes, waiting for the sacrifice to begin.
40 minutes later, Ling Xiaoyi and I led the ministers to the temple to begin the worship. I didn't know what offering sacrifices to the heavens was. Ling Xiaoyi told me that it was just a formality. I just had to go up and burn three incense sticks, and then the rest would be the monks 'business. They just had to sit and wait for the end.
Sure enough, at the beginning, Ling Xiaoyi and I each lit three incense sticks, then sat at the side, and then the monk chanted scriptures…until I was about to fall asleep, it finally ended!
"Emperor, the worship ceremony has been completed. This old monk has already sent people to prepare vegetarian food.”said the abbot.
They could finally eat. Because they had to sacrifice to the heavens, they were woken up early this morning and were not allowed to eat! I'm starving!
I happily walked to the dining table, but when I saw it, I was instantly disappointed! Radish, green vegetables, bean sprouts, cucumbers, potatoes…none of them seemed to have oil.
"Yu 'er, why aren't you eating?" Ling Xiaoyi asked when he saw that I hadn't moved my chopsticks.
"I want to eat KFC!" I whispered.
"Hehe, Yu 'er wants to eat chicken? After returning to the palace today, zhen will instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare it for you, okay? But now, you still have to eat these vegetarian dishes.”Ling Xiaoyi could tell that I didn't want to eat these, so he comforted me.
Actually, as the Emperor, you have already been patient and humble enough. However, I still haven't fallen in love with you.
In the afternoon, when he returned to the palace, he had to prepare for the conferment later. It was troublesome! I heard that the Empress Dowager will be there. This is the first time I'm meeting my mother-in-law. I'm nervous!
"Niangniang, you should rest first. After that, you will go to Ci An Palace for the coronation ceremony. This servant will massage your shoulders.”Ye 'er said.
"Lian 'er, call those twenty-four handsome men and beautiful women over and talk to me!”
"Yes, sir! Empress!" Lian 'er was already used to hearing these unknown words from me and gradually understood some of them.
"Niangniang, the emperor has sent someone to bring food for the empress to enjoy.”Lian 'er brought in a group of eunuchs, each carrying a food box.
"Put it down. All of you can leave.”I ordered. What did Ling Xiaoyi give me? I opened them one by one. They were all chickens! Hibiscus chicken slices, five-colored shredded chicken, crispy chicken, roasted chicken…This kid really thought I wanted to eat chicken! He really sent it over? Depressed!
"Niangniang, the emperor is really good to you!" Lian 'er said.
I also know that he treats me well, but…Sigh!
I ate a little of each dish and gave it to everyone. I wanted to eat with them before eating, but these guys refused to listen and said it was not polite! However, eating my leftovers really makes me feel embarrassed. I can't throw them away either. It's a waste!
After eating, I lay on the bed. What is Dad doing now? I took out my phone from my bag, but there was still no signal! So I flipped through my phone to look at my father's photo and Bing's photo.
As she looked on, her tears gradually blurred her eyes, but she still couldn't let go! There are so many people here. Where is my mother? How can I find her? How had she been all these years? Was she doing well?
"Niangniang, it's time to go to Ci An Palace!”Ye 'er reminded. I quickly wiped the corners of my eyes and sat up. She dressed up carefully, sorted out her mood, and walked towards Cian Palace with a smile.
"The Empress has arrived!" Eunuch Chen gave the order and I led my palace maids and eunuchs in.
As soon as she entered, she saw Ling Xiao sitting in the middle of the room. Beside him was a dignified and noble woman in her forties. This should be the Empress Dowager!
