In the Golden Palace, all officials came to pay homage and shouted "Long live
the emperor". Ye Qiqi sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, calmly accepting this grand ceremony of worship. "If you have something to discuss, please leave the court." The voice of the eunuch next to him was sharp and piercing, but it also had a feminine air, which made people feel weird.
Ye Qiqi concealed her unhappiness, and her clear and dust-free eyes quickly glanced at the ministers in the hall. When her eyes fell on the young man in the lead, she subconsciously looked at him a few more times.
The man was dressed in a black brocade robe with dark patterns, and his figure was tall and majestic. He was particularly dazzling among the old and ugly ministers. The man had a handsome and evil appearance, and his facial features were perfect and delicate, so that Ye Qiqi, as a woman, couldn't help but look away.
Ye Qiqi's observation was undisguised, which naturally attracted the male protagonist's attention. Her clear and clean eyes collided with the man's deep, bottomless, indifferent eyes. In the blink of an eye, silent sparks were also flying everywhere. Li Xiu's eyes were
cold, like ice. When he looked at Ye Qiqi, it was as if he was looking at an ant, without any warmth. The man's two thin lips were pursed into a straight line, appearing extremely indifferent and ruthless.
Ye Qiqi's eyes flashed, and her curved eyebrows slightly raised. Seeing that the man's expression was frozen for a moment, Ye Qiqi raised a faint arc.
The first test between the two was carried out silently and ended silently. Ye Qiqi held her cheek with one hand, seemingly listening carefully and attentively to the ministers' discussion of government affairs, but in fact her thoughts had already wandered thousands of miles away.
Although the original owner was the ruler of a country, she had no real power. It seemed that the major events in the court were decided by her, but in fact, they had already been secretly arranged by Li Xiu. Now, she only went to court to save face and walk around.
Ye Qiqi felt really bored listening to the trivial matters reported by the ministers. She felt drowsy and seemed to fall asleep in the next second. Li Xiu
looked at the little emperor sitting on the dragon throne calmly, and a trace of inquiry flashed across his narrow eyes. If he still doubted the information brought back by the people he sent last night, now he was somewhat sure.
The people who used to obey him and dared not look him in the face now knew how to resist and provoke. This made Li Xiu suspicious, but also a little interested. After all ,
it was a puppet he personally supported. Although he didn't know when it was out of his sight, as long as it was still under his control, he was rarely interested in playing a cat and mouse game with him.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, "The emperor is not young anymore, it's time to enrich the harem." All the officials bowed their heads upon hearing this, wondering what Li Xiu meant.
Since the rebellion of seizing the throne, the power of the court has basically fallen into the hands of the East Factory. Li Xiu supported the young emperor on the surface, but in fact he controlled the political affairs of the court. Now he took the initiative to take a concubine for the emperor, what was his intention?
All the officials could not guess Li Xiu's thoughts, and they did not dare to object due to his power. However, they did not know that the young emperor, as the person involved, was so frightened that he even woke up half of his sleep after hearing Li Xiu's proposal.
Li Xiu's words made the morning court quiet, but Ye Qiqi was extremely manic. After calming down, Ye Qiqi looked at the officials who were walking on thin ice and keeping silent, and she felt a bad breath in her heart.
Not to mention how weak she was as an emperor, just to say that the officials who were nagging endlessly just now were now as cowardly as wooden stakes, Ye Qiqi was extremely upset.
Seeing that the officials were silent, Ye Qiqi secretly bit her teeth and raised her voice, "I am still young and have no plans to take a concubine for the time being. Moreover, now that the court is just beginning to be established, I still want to learn more about the court."
Ye Qiqi's words were high-sounding, but no one said a word. After the silence of the whole hall, Li Xiu responded meaningfully, "The emperor is so diligent and studious, he really has great ambitions..."
Facing Li Xiu's sharp gaze, Ye Qiqi seemed not to notice, but smiled at the man, and agreed slowly, "Sure enough, among all the beloved ministers, only the factory supervisor can understand my mind. In this case, there is no need to mention the matter of taking a concubine. Well, I am tired now, so let's retire today."
After that, Ye Qiqi yawned, and got up and left before the officials came to their senses. The officials looked at the little emperor's back with a dull face, and suddenly found that the little emperor had become eloquent today, but they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
