Chapter 259 New Fun in the Morning Court

When Chu Liuzheng arrived, the emperor had not yet gotten up, which really made her feel relieved.

"The girl is here." Zhou Yuande looked at her with a smile.

Chu Liuzheng also smiled: "Good morning, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Yuande asked Xiao Anzi to take her to the duty room for breakfast, because when the emperor got up, there would be no time to feed her.

Chu Liuzheng got up too early and her stomach had not yet woken up. She didn't have much appetite, but after seeing the breakfast on the table, which was even more sumptuous than the one at Yiranyuan, her stomach growled honestly and she swallowed quietly.

[No wonder everyone wants to be next to the emperor. It's worth getting up early just for this breakfast.]

Xiao Anzi said, "Your Majesty will be up in about a quarter of an hour. Young lady, please hurry up. I will wait in front. Young lady, please come over when you are done eating."

"Okay." After watching him leave, Chu Liuzheng immediately sat down at the table and started eating.

There were a few palace maids and eunuchs eating in the duty room. They all buried their heads and ate quietly, without any sound of conversation.

Chu Liuzheng looked at them while peeling salted duck eggs. No matter who he looked at, he would receive a smile that was obviously a bit flattering.

She blinked.

The promotion the emperor gave her seemed more important than she had imagined.

At three quarters past three in the morning, the emperor got up.

Chu Liuzheng followed Zhou Yuande into the bedroom and watched and learned as Zhou Yuande directed a group of palace servants to help the emperor wash and change clothes.

Eunuch Zhou told her that from now on this would be her job.

She read and took notes, muttering to herself.

[There are so many people waiting on me this morning. They've been replaced twice. He's worthy of being the emperor.]

[Tsk tsk, Tyrant, who stays up late all night, doesn't even have dark circles under his eyes.]

[There are people who will help you with rinsing your mouth and washing your face, so I won't be needed.]

[There are eunuchs who are responsible for wearing boots, so I am of no use.]

[Hmm... the dragon robe seems a bit difficult to put on. Luckily, I'm just directing, not having to do anything.]

[There are dedicated palace maids to comb hair, so I am not needed.]

[There are dedicated palace maids for shaving, so I'm of no use.]

…

All Xiao Jingfan heard were "full-time" and "I'm not needed at all". He couldn't help but glance at Chu Liuzheng who was studying seriously.

Nothing is useful, why did this woman come in?

Chu Liuzheng was looking at the boxes neatly stacked on the tray.

[Wow, the tyrant has more facial fat than the ladies in the harem. It turns out it's not just natural beauty.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

A palace maid came forward with a box. Xiao Jingfan waved at her and pointed at Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng:?

【So this is my job.】

She washed her hands first, then took the box from the palace maid, took out some oily ointment with a silver spoon, spread it evenly on the palm of her hand, and then covered her face with her palm and pressed it on the emperor's smooth and white face.

The movement was so smooth that Xiao Jingfan didn't even react.

Everyone in the room was stunned. This new Master Attendant was so fierce.

All they have to do is take out the facial cream, and Your Majesty can apply it himself!

Zhou Yuande glanced at the emperor's expression and swallowed the word "bold".

[Tsk tsk, as expected of a man with so much facial fat, the Tyrant's skin is quite smooth.]

Chu Liuzheng didn't notice the others' surprise. He lowered his head and carefully fiddled with the emperor's enchanting face, gently applying the facial cream with a refreshing fragrance along the skin texture.

The fingertips are slightly cool, and the palms are warm.

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyelids and stared at her expressionlessly.

[My strength isn't that great, why is Tyrant staring at me?]

Chu Liuzheng felt strange, but he also quickened the speed of application. After making sure that every corner was covered, he withdrew his hand with satisfaction and retired.

The others looked at her almost in worship.

Chu Liuzheng blinked. What were they looking at her for? Her work was done. Who was next? Hurry up and continue. The emperor would have breakfast soon.

Zhou Yuande glanced at the emperor, who seemed to have no objection, and coughed lightly, "Tea."

Chu Liuzheng stepped back and stood still, continuing to study seriously.

The job of a master attendant was much easier than she had imagined. It was basically done by the young palace maids and eunuchs. She just had to talk like Zhou Yuande.

After serving the emperor breakfast, it was almost time for him to go to court.

Chu Liuzheng had to accompany the emperor to the Fengtian Palace to wait. He thought he would just have to stand outside the door and wait, but he didn't expect that he had to go in and stand next to the dragon throne to pretend to be a wooden man.

She felt that she had to stand on both sides, so she could hold the pheasant tail fan for the palace maid behind her and still appear to be busy.

After the court officials shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, Xiao Jingfan sat down on the dragon throne and said, "Everyone, please stand."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All civil and military officials stood up.

Zhou Yuande took a step forward, holding his whisk, and shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court!"

[I actually yelled this! The TV show didn't lie to me.]

Chu Liuzheng rolled his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials below.

[Wow, is this the emperor's perspective? Even court officials picking their noses can be seen clearly!]

Xiao Jingfan:?!

[Then there's someone who's secretly eating pancakes. Did he come here before finishing his breakfast?]

[Many people were yawning. I'm definitely not the only one who didn't get enough sleep.]

[Hey, are those two in the third row exchanging glances? Their eyebrows are practically flying.]

Xiao Jingfan looked over subconsciously.

The Left Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple and the Right Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army, who were glaring at each other, suddenly felt a chill. They looked up and found that the emperor was looking at them.

The two men thought that the emperor had seen what they had just done, so they immediately restrained themselves and prepared to settle the score with each other after the court was dismissed.

While Chu Liuzheng was observing the court officials, many of them were also secretly observing her.

Especially those ministers who frequently came and went from Wenhua Palace, they felt that Chu Liuzheng's face was very familiar.

Chu Liuzheng was promoted to Imperial Attendant just last night, and the news didn't spread that quickly, so the court officials didn't know that the emperor had such a new person around him.

Several ministers exchanged glances with each other. Isn't this the palace maid in Wenhua Palace who served tea and was favored by His Majesty?

Scholar Zhang, who was standing among the civil officials, snorted disdainfully, saying that women were indeed the source of trouble for the country.

Xie Hui also recognized Chu Liuzheng, but he had been troubled all night by the anonymous letter that suddenly appeared in the Jinyiwei duty room last night and had no time to care about all those miscellaneous things.

The court meeting officially began, and the court officials who had something to report came out one by one.

[Morning court is so boring.]

Chu Liuzheng tried hard to hold back his yawn and pinched his arm secretly to avoid losing his composure in front of the civil and military officials.

[The person speaking now is... Fan Hong, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Waqu, Master Fan has gained at least two pounds since the Lunar New Year. I didn't even recognize him. Is he storing fat for the voyage?]

She also flipped through the gossip about this adult.

Fan Hong's wife, Zhou, was worried that he would not return after going to sea. She wanted to have a child for him, so the couple tried to have a baby whenever they could. After three months of unremitting efforts, Zhou finally became pregnant.

【Oh, what a happy event! 】

[No wonder Lord Fan has become fat. His wife feeds him all kinds of medicinal foods and supplements. It's hard not to be fat.]

Xiao Jingfan glanced at Fan Hong and decided to send someone to deliver a gift to the Fan family later.

[This is the Honglu Temple...]

After reading the gossip of several adults in a row, Chu Liuzheng, who was pretending to be a wooden man, suddenly discovered a new fun in the morning court - opening blind boxes, and whoever comes out will be her next melon owner.
