The luminous pearls in the room sparkled. Although they were not as beautiful as when they returned from the sea of stars, they were still very beautiful.
Bai Yao used the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest early, but the female official used something to cover the night pearls in the room and lit some calming incense.
Her vision instantly darkened. Even though Bai Yao was still in good spirits and had always been a night owl, she gradually felt sleepy as she smelled the incense.
I can't sleep! I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet!
However, the fragrance was so good that Bai Yao couldn't hold it in any longer and fell asleep.
Bai Yao was in a daze after a night without dreams. She heard someone calling her " Your Majesty " softly.
Bai Yao groaned and opened her eyes, staring up blankly without moving. The female official was so shocked that she wanted to call the imperial physician again before she got up and mumbled,"Don't make a fuss. I just woke up. Why did you wake me up so early?"
The female official immediately knelt down and said with a trembling voice,"His Majesty is attending the morning court today."
Bai Yao looked out the window. The sky was still dark.
This was blatant exploitation!
Looking around, Bai Yao was still in this luxurious room, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
It seemed like he couldn't go back. Was he still asleep? Or would he become a vegetable and starve to death at home?
Bai Yao felt extremely sad when she thought about how miserable that body was and how this body wasn't any better.
How could he encounter something that was hard to come by in a thousand years? Or did the people who disappeared and fell into a coma for no reason in this world actually go to another space?
Bai Yao hated herself for not being a sci-fi author. Perhaps she could find a way to connect the two dimensions through some principles and become the second Einstein or Hawking? He could go back and become famous, contributing to his country.
But right now, Bai Yao seemed to have nothing else to do other than getting up and going to court.
"Someone come!" Bai Yao subconsciously mimicked the emperor in the TV series she had seen before.
Almost instantly, a group of women surrounded them. All of them were dressed in antique clothes and quickly knelt down. The leader knelt down and walked in front of Bai Yao."Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Bai Yao still couldn't accept this situation. She was stunned for a while before she spat out four words,""Zhen wants to get up."
The female official in the lead stood up first and carefully helped Bai Yao out of bed. The group of kneeling women also quickly bowed and stood up, serving tea and water. With so many people wandering around the room, they actually didn't make a single sound. Bai Yao was very surprised.
The person who had woken her up earlier was still kneeling, so Bai Yao woke her up.
Yesterday, there were only two female officials. Why were there so many today?
However, the ones who served her were still the two from yesterday. If Bai Yao remembered correctly, one of them was called Li Bing, and the other was called Shen Yanxi.
These two female officials were Nalan Baiqiong's personal female officials and had very high statuses.
Bai Yao remembered that one of them was Nalan Baiyao's spy, the one called Li Bing.
With this in mind, Bai Yao immediately wanted to ask who Li Bing was, but she felt it was rude.
With a plan in mind, Bai Yao coughed and called out in a deep voice,""Li Bing."
The female official who had just knelt down immediately knelt down again."This servant is here."
"Yes." Bai Yao looked at her carefully, feeling a little nervous. If she was Li Bing, then the one who was helping her change would be Shen Yanxi, who she could rest assured about.
Out of curiosity, Bai Yao didn't wake her up for a moment. After she was dressed, she glanced at Li Bing from the corner of her eye. Li Bing's expression was normal, probably thinking that she was punished to kneel like this because she had disturbed Bai Yao's sleep. She was used to it and didn't see anything wrong with it. If it weren't for the outline and character design that she had written, how could she have seen through the trick?
"Get up." Bai Yao wondered what excuse she should find to send her away.
No, chasing her away would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Besides, he didn't know who the next spy would be. He had to quickly make a show of repentance and comfort Nalan Baiyao's hurt heart so that she would give up on the idea of touching him.
When they reached the dining hall, Bai Yao took a sip of porridge and could not help but complain to Shen Yanxi,""Who do you think set the rules for the morning court session? Waking up so early in the morning didn't want to kill people? Why didn't he go to court at night? After dinner, they would have a two-hour court session, and they could even have supper when they returned.”
Shen Yanxi listened attentively to Bai Yao's criticism and comforted her with a smile.
Shen Yanxi was ten years older than Nalan Baiqiong. She was the person whom Tang Xue had given to Nalan Baiqiong to serve him since he was young. In Shen Yanxi's eyes, Nalan Baiqiong was her daughter.
Nalan Baiqiong was closer to Shen Yanxi at times. After all, her biological mother was a power-hungry person.
Shen Yanxi had a motherly smile on her face. Nalan Baiqiong had always been pampered, but he rarely made things difficult for her. It was because he was sad. Shen Yanxi, who treated her as Nalan Baiqiong's mother, would not complain.
His Majesty was the heavens and had to endure the weather. Could it be that he was going to command the heavens?
Although there were many complaints today, it was still sunny. There were no broken bowls and chopsticks. Shen Yan smiled happily."Your Majesty, it's time to depart."
Just as he was about to get up, someone told him that the Second Princess Muyan was seeking an audience.
"Please! Please!" Bai Yao personally stood up to welcome them. At the door, she bumped into Nalan Baiyao, who was about to enter. She couldn't help but take a closer look.
Nalan Baiyao and Nalan Baiqiong were biological sisters, and they looked quite similar. However, Nalan Baiqiong looked more like an emperor. Perhaps she had been sitting on the dragon throne for several years.
Nalan Baiyao looked gentler and restrained herself.
Empress Dowager Tang Xue was the former emperor's empress. Before the former emperor passed away, she only gave birth to two daughters. It was not that the former emperor did not have other concubines, but with Tang Xue around, very few could give birth to children, and even fewer could give birth to sons. There was once a concubine Zhen who gave birth to a son under the former emperor's careful protection, but she also died at the age of five.
The late emperor was so depressed that he died of depression.
The Tang family was powerful. After the previous emperor passed away, Tang Xue single-handedly supported her eldest daughter, Nalan Baiqiong, who was only 13 years old at that time, to succeed the throne. She changed the year title to Zhen Guan and became the Empress of Zhen Guan. It had been five years since then.
This was the background.
As the eldest daughter, Nalan Baiqiong had been spoiled since she was young. Although Tang Xue and Tang Jinchuan were both from the Tang family, they had completely different personalities. In the entire country, there was probably no other person like Tang Xue who was arrogant and indulgent.
She was able to become the Empress because the eldest daughter of the Tang family had been the Empress of the Nalan Imperial Family for generations. This was a rule established since the founding of the country.
Tang Xue and the former emperor who liked peace and quiet were actually completely incompatible.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:55AM
