The officials were confused!
For a moment, you stared at me, and I stared at you, and we both looked at each other as if we were idiots, both of us at a loss!
[Why are you all looking at me, a fairy? Even if I am pretty, you can't be so rude! ]
Yan Shian: Oh no, my daughter’s thoughts... were all heard!
From now on, there will be no secrets in the morning court!
Everyone: I heard it, I heard it, it’s Yan Jiaojiao, the number one female official in our Great Sheng Dynasty!
She clearly didn't open her mouth, so why was there a sound coming out of her?
Before Emperor Deyuan arrived at the palace, an elderly official said, "Lord Xiaoyan, you *****" and there was silence after that!
Some officials also spoke at the same time! "Master Xiaoyan, although you didn't say it, *****" was muted again!
Everyone:!!!
So, Master Xiaoyan’s thoughts can only be understood but not expressed in words?
Seeing the two officials hesitant to speak, Yan Jiaojiao was confused and scratched her head...indicating that she couldn't understand or hear.
"My two lords, what do you want to say?" Yan Jiaojiao asked in a low voice! There was scrutiny and surprise in her eyes!
The elderly official realized something was wrong and immediately changed the subject: "Nothing, I just think that Lord Xiaoyan must have something extraordinary to impress the Emperor!"
Another official echoed, "Lady Xiaoyan is the number one female official in our Great Sheng Dynasty. I admire her!"
For a moment, all the officials were very tactful and flattered the emperor one by one.
And this was exactly the scene that Emperor Deyuan saw when he entered the hall!
Emperor Deyuan: I didn't expect the little girl to be so popular! Even these old men praised her highly.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Eunuch Li Dachang shouted in a clapper-like voice!
"Long live the emperor!" All the officials knelt down and kowtowed!
Yan Jiaojiao: “........” What’s the matter with not wanting to kowtow?
And she did not kneel down and kowtow! She just stepped back two steps and stood in the corner, trying to make herself inconspicuous!
Emperor Deyuan was the first to see her behavior!
Then, the other officials also looked at her one by one!
I thought, after all, she is just a six-year-old girl, so I just turned a blind eye to it. Why bother with the little girl!
But Ouyang Ze, the Minister of Rites who has always been against Yan Shian, thought so!
In his opinion, Yan Jiaojiao's refusal to kneel would give him a good opportunity to catch Yan Shian's weakness!
"Lord Xiaoyan, why don't you kneel when you see the emperor?" Ouyang Ze said in a sarcastic tone, and everyone could see that he was deliberately looking for trouble!
Because they were in the court, everyone was divided and no one spoke out to say anything!
"Jiaojiao is scared..., my knees hurt!" Yan Jiaojiao pursed her lips in cooperation! She looked like a weak and helpless cotton doll!
But her inner thoughts revealed her true nature!
[It’s not like the old emperor didn’t see it, he didn’t care, why are you talking so much? You scum, if you keep talking... this fairy will expose your melon! ]
System: [That’s right, if you say anything more, I’ll tell you about how you bullied decent women! ]
Everyone: “…”
The Minister of Rites bullied a decent woman? Is this true?
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at Ouyang Ze!
Ouyang Ze was bewildered and at a loss as he was stared at by everyone!
Why are you looking at him? Is he wrong?
"You have to kneel even if it hurts. This is a sign of respect for the emperor. If you don't kneel, you are disrespecting the law and should be executed!" Ouyang Ze became more and more exaggerated! He couldn't wait to see the Yan family's father and daughter make a fool of themselves!
Everyone: Lord Ouyang, you should say less! The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Be careful, you may be the one to be beheaded!
Yan Jiaojiao's face was full of black lines, but she spoke softly: "Jiaojiao, don't kneel. Lord Ouyang likes kneeling, so just keep kneeling!"
"Jiaojiao, don't be rude!" Yan Shi'an pretended to be fierce and scolded Yan Jiaojiao.
At that time, Emperor Deyuan sitting on the dragon throne couldn't stand it anymore!
"That's enough. Lady Xiao Yan is a female official appointed by me. She is still young, so she doesn't have to kneel!" Emperor Deyuan still favors Yan Jiaojiao!
Emperor Deyuan spoke, and Ouyang Ze couldn't say much: "Yes!"
"My dear ministers, please stand up!" Emperor Deyuan signaled all the officials to stand up!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up slowly, but one person's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up!
The two legs are like cartilage, with no support points!
This person is none other than Ouyang Ze, the Minister of Rites!
Seeing that he was still not getting up, his colleague next to him whispered, "Sir Ouyang, the emperor didn't blame you, get up!"
Ouyang Ze tried his best but couldn't get up. Not only was he weak, he also felt like his legs were sucked to the ground!
"Your Excellency the Censor, I can't get up. Can you give me a hand?" Ouyang Ze was a little embarrassed!
"Okay!" Wang Zhisheng, who was called the Imperial Censor, helped Ouyang Ze up!
No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't help Ouyang Ze up!
At the same time, everyone turned their curious eyes to Ouyang Ze when they saw that he had not gotten up yet!
Someone whispered, "Master Ouyang is kneeling on the ground, what does that mean? Is he blaming the emperor for exempting Master Xiaoyan from the kneeling ceremony?"
"Ms. Xiaoyan is still a child. Going to court is already very hard for her. It is reasonable for her to be exempted from the kneeling ceremony! Why does Master Ouyang have to be angry with a child?"
Listening to the discussions in the hall, Emperor Deyuan lost his temper: "Lord Ouyang, why don't you get up quickly?"
[Without this fairy's permission, can he get up? Doesn't he like kneeling? Then he should kneel until the end of the court! ]
Everyone: So mysterious? Lord Ouyang can't get up because Lord Xiaoyan cursed him?
Emperor Deyuan: In that case, then kneel down! Who made Ouyang Ze talk too much?
