What made Lu Qingge feel strange was that the Empress Dowager's gaze was stern and comforting!
It was obvious that the Empress Dowager did not know that the puppet emperor had changed.
Moreover, his mentality had completely changed!
She had thought that Lu Qingge would be a little nervous since she had just ascended the throne, which was why she had looked over to ask for help.
Little did she know that Lu Qingge was commenting on her beauty in her heart!
In the past, Lu Qingge had always been submissive to the Empress Dowager. How could she have dared to look at her?
The empress dowager never dreamed that the 'new' emperor would be so daring.
"Qing Ge is still too immature.”
"The coronation ceremony is inevitably a little nervous, but as long as you don't make a fool of yourself, it's fine.”
"BenGong will handle the following court affairs, it's not his place to worry.”
Behind the beaded curtain, the empress dowager's eyes flickered as she thought to herself.
After a while.
The coronation ceremony ended.
Soon, the court session resumed.
Several ministers began to read out the political affairs and advice.
One of the ministers suggested that the palace should be expanded and renovated to reflect the dignity of the royal family.
Lu Qingge immediately frowned.
The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and such a huge project was undoubtedly a waste of manpower and money!
"This matter needs to be discussed again."
"Now that the Imperial Palace is spacious and luxurious enough, there is no need to expand it for the time being.”
Lu Qingge rejected the suggestion on the spot.
However, many of the ministers did not look at him. Instead, their gazes gathered behind the bead curtain!
They didn't seem to care about the new emperor's opinion. They were more concerned about the empress dowager's thoughts!
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the beaded curtain. It was as touching and pleasant as a pearl falling on a jade plate.
"This widow thinks that the Minister of Works 'suggestion is not bad.”
"Yes."
The Minister of Works smiled."Empress Dowager is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"
Lu Qingge was slightly stunned when she saw this.
He was clearly against it, but these ministers were pretending not to hear him?
Wise my ass!
"It seems that not many of the civil and military officials in the court take me, the new emperor, to heart?”
Lu Qingge's lips curled into a cold smile!
What happened next was exactly the same as what he thought.
Many of the ministers did not even spare him a second glance when they made their suggestions.
Even if Lu Qingge occasionally said a few words, they would turn a deaf ear to it!
On the contrary, whatever the Empress Dowager said, they would immediately flatter and agree.
"I'm a tool. It's worse than I thought!”
Lu Qingge was furious.
This was only the first day of his ascension, and such a situation had already occurred.
Then in the future, would he not even have the right to speak in the imperial court?
"My dear ministers, it seems that you haven't heard my opinion?”
Lu Qingge suddenly swept his gaze across the officials coldly.
"I don't dare!"
a minister said, feigning fear.
"His Majesty is still young and cannot handle political affairs properly.”
"We need the Empress Dowager to assist the regent. We are doing this for the sake of His Majesty!”
Many ministers immediately echoed.
"Lord Wang is right. We are all wholeheartedly for His Majesty. We definitely have no second thoughts!”
"Your Majesty is worrying too much."
Many of the ministers were puzzled, but at the same time, they sneered in their hearts!
Why did this new Emperor seem to be throwing a tantrum?
Behind the beaded curtain, the Empress Dowager was also surprised.
What's wrong with Qingge today?"
"Are you still throwing a child's temper?”
"Looks like I have to teach him a lesson in the future.”
The Empress Dowager did not take Lu Qingge's abnormal behavior to heart.
In any case, most of the civil and military officials in the court would only listen to her!
"Am I still young?"
Lu Qingge glanced at the officials indifferently.
"According to the laws of Da Qian, a man will be an adult when he reaches 16 years old.”
"I'm already eighteen years old. I wonder why there's still the saying that I'm young?”
The officials were speechless.
They were just casually saying that and randomly finding an excuse!
His Majesty was getting serious?
"Your Majesty, you're only eighteen years old in three months!”
Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded not far away.
Lu Qingge narrowed his eyes and looked over.
It was actually a chief eunuch, Eunuch Yang!
Lu Qingge felt incredulous when she saw this person clearly!
Since when did eunuchs dare to speak in court?
And he even came to diss her with a strange tone?
Even if he was a puppet emperor, he was still an emperor!
Was he really that cowardly?
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is also concerned about you.”
"After all, you have just ascended the throne and are not familiar with many government affairs.”
"It is most appropriate for the Empress Dowager to assist in the decision.”
Eunuch Yang spoke in a soft voice, his tone extremely respectful.
However, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes!
There was no doubt that this chief eunuch was one of the Empress Dowager's trusted subordinates.
He knew how powerful the Empress Dowager was!
Most of the civil and military officials were the Empress Dowager's people.
Lu Qingge quickly figured this out.
Otherwise, how could a dog slave have such guts?
Many of the officials knew that they were 'on the same team', so they did not rebuke them.
As for the few officials, they were afraid of the Empress Dowager's authority and didn't dare to speak!
"Eunuch Yang, are you not clear about your identity?”
"This is a solemn place in the royal court.”
Lu Qingge looked at Eunuch Yang expressionlessly.
"This servant naturally knows my identity!”
Eunuch Yang pretended to be terrified.
"This servant has always served His Majesty and the Empress Dowager with all my heart and never dared to overstep my boundaries!”
"Empress Dowager, please understand!"
"This servant is loyal and devoted!”
The empress dowager said lightly,"
"Your Majesty, bengong has indeed given Eunuch Yang the power to supervise.”
"It's not impossible for him to speak in the court.”
Eunuch Yang immediately revealed a look of joy."Thank you for your insight, Empress Dowager!"
There was a hint of pride in his eyes, but he did not show any fear towards Lu Qingge.
So what if he was the new emperor?
The Empress Dowager was the true ruler!
In Eunuch Yang's eyes.
With the Empress Dowager backing him up, so what if he was a eunuch?
Who would dare to touch him?
The more Eunuch Yang thought about it, the more satisfied he felt.
As a eunuch, he always had a sense of inferiority.
Yet today, he was able to confront the new emperor in the court!
What kind of glorious achievement was this?
To be able to do this as a eunuch was definitely bringing honor to his ancestors!
Seeing Eunuch Yang's smug look, Lu Qingge suddenly laughed.
It was a murderous smile!
