Half an hour passed, two hours passed…
The sky outside the hall had already turned from a dim light to a bright sun. All the officials in the court had almost fallen asleep from waiting. Even Xu Hui, who was sitting on the ground with her back against Xu Xiaode's arm, began to yawn.
Xu Xiaode looked at the sleepy Xu Hui and could not help but laugh."Little girl, do you now understand why all the civil and military officials don't treat the little Emperor well?”
Xu Hui rubbed her eyes and said in a clear voice,"No, I think that His Majesty did this on purpose. It was because His Majesty did this that the civil and military officials would lower their guard against him. Only then would he be able to do what he wanted to do!”
There was no way to communicate!
Xu Xiaode couldn't help but sigh. He really wanted to crack open this girl's head and see what was inside. Did that brat Li Tai secretly feed her some soup? Why did she always speak up for him!
Was Li Tai deliberately doing this for the officials to see?
How was this possible?
He was clearly lazy!
Xu Xiaode didn't lose his temper. He supported his cheek with his palm and yawned as well. He grumbled in his heart. Is the little Emperor coming or not? If not, at least say so. Don't make us wait here like fools!
It wasn't just him.
All the officials were furious.
Pei Ji's eyes twitched as he tightly gripped the imperial edict in his sleeve. He had originally thought that he would finally have a chance to announce it today so that the civil and military officials could take this opportunity to vent their anger.
The result was good.
Li Tai was late again!
Was he addicted to being late or something?
Was it not over?
Da da--
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
All the officials and officials in the court looked over and saw Li Tai, dressed in a pale golden robe, yawning as he walked into the hall.
Behind him, the former Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, the King of Qin Li Er, and the King of Qi Li Yuanji silently followed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the officials stood up and bowed.
Li Tai yawned as he walked to the throne and sat down cross-legged. He waved his chubby little hand and said in a tender voice,"There's no need to be so formal. We're family. If we're too formal, we'll seem like outsiders.”
Pei Ji was speechless.
The officials were speechless.
How dare you say this!
The civil and military officials were annoyed.
Although Li Tai said so, no one present dared to take his words seriously. If they really did not bow to him in the morning court, they might be pranked by him again!
Pei Ji held the imperial edict in his sleeve. He could not read out the imperial edict given by the Supreme Emperor today. He could not help but say in his heart,"Your Majesty, Your Majesty was late for the morning court session by more than four hours yesterday. Why is it that you are so late today?”
"I woke up late, can't I?" Li Tai asked in confusion.”
Pei Ji's eyes widened. What kind of attitude is this? Is it reasonable to wake up late?
Feng Deyi could not help but choke,
"Your Majesty, early court discussions have been the foundation of the court since ancient times. Your Majesty rising late is a sign of laziness. If this continues, the world will think that Your Majesty is walking the path of a fatuous ruler. We hope that Your Majesty can turn back from the wrong path and put the country's affairs first!”
"I don't like hearing this!"
Li Tai shook out some melon seeds from his sleeve and placed them on his palm. As he chewed on the melon seeds, he blinked at Feng Deyi and said in a childish voice,
"I woke up late, so you guys can wake up later too. Who asked you to wake up so early? You could have waited in the hall before I came to court.”
Pei Ji was speechless.
The officials were speechless.
For a moment, many people turned to look at Li Er.
Li Er's eyes twitched. What's the use of looking at me? I wanted him to sleep with me? God knows what was going on with this kid. He was more sleepy than anyone else. He could sleep from the afternoon to the next morning. If you didn't wake him up midway, he might be able to sleep for a long time.
At the side, Xu Xiaode sighed and whispered to Xu Hui,"Listen, is the little Emperor speaking like a human?”
"If he wakes up late, he will at most receive advice. If we, as officials, wake up late and don't enter the court within the stipulated time, we might lose our posts if it's light.”
"But I feel that His Majesty's words make sense," Xu Hui said softly.”
Xu Xiaode was speechless.
Xu Hui raised her head and looked curiously at Li Tai, who was sitting cross-legged on the throne and munching on melon seeds.
This was the little Emperor that all the officials in the court did not think highly of?
At this moment, Li Tai was also looking at her, his heart pounding. This was Xu Hui?
The future Consort Xu Xian of Emperor Taizong?
She was loyal to Li Er, and when Li Er died, Consort Xu Xian fell ill from grief and refused to take medicine in order to die early.
Very good.
It seemed that he could cut off the Hu.
Li Tai looked at Li Er, who was standing at the side.
Li Er frowned. What was going on? There was something wrong with the way this brat looked at him. Why did it feel like there was a green light in his eyes?! Did he see wrongly?
"As for the other things, let's talk about them later.”
Li Tai cleared his throat and looked at the officials with a serious expression."I already said yesterday that I'm going to expand the Three Palaces and Six Halls today. Let's start now. Prime Minister Pei, I'll start with you.”
Pei Ji lowered his head to look at his granddaughter. Seeing her leaning against him timidly, he said helplessly,"Your Majesty, my granddaughter is young and insensible. If there's anything wrong with her answer, I hope Your Majesty can forgive her.”
"It's fine, I'm not a calculative person," Li Tai said in a childish voice.”
You don't like to be calculative?
All the officials looked at him strangely.
Li Tai pretended not to see the strange looks from the officials. He looked at Pei Ji's granddaughter seriously and said in a tender voice,""Do you think I can make you cry with one punch?”
