No sooner had he finished speaking than his colleague standing next to him snatched the official hat off his head.
His bald head dazzled the officials present.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Marquis of Zhenbei's head is so shiny, could it be that the witch tricked you that day and burned your head like this?"
I didn't look closely before, but now that I do, it's absolutely hilarious, and a bit... horribly ugly.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was so shocked by the sudden laughter that his face went numb.
He tried to snatch the official hat from the other person, but the other person passed it directly to someone else.
He exclaimed angrily, "You...you've gone too far!"
"Lord Guanglu, please return my official hat to me."
Lord Guanglu was already furious, his face turning black. He roared, "Marquis of Zhenbei, even I haven't gone too far as you have!"
"So what if you're bald and showing your face to everyone? My precious daughter got her hand touched by your son, and she came home crying."
"How dare you say I've gone too far?"
The Grand Master of the Court of State Ceremonies angrily said, "Marquis of Zhenbei, your son almost stripped my daughter naked! How did you raise your child?"
The Imperial Academy official, Li, said, "Your son even invited my daughter out at night. My daughter is only five years old! How could you, such a rebellious son, do such a thing? You have truly disgraced a scholar."
"Marquis of Zhenbei, yesterday my son kindly took your son and daughter into your private garden, but I never expected your son to do such a shameless thing. Even for the sake of my son's reputation, I request that His Majesty decide this matter!" General Yao was furious. It was all his carelessness that made him unaware that his unfilial son had stolen his jade pendant.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei was so frightened that his scalp tingled.
Yesterday, Lin Chang'an and Lin Shi'an took Lin Wanwan out. After they returned, Lin Shiming went to sleep.
It must be Lin Chang'an.
That unfilial son!
He knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, it is my fault for failing to raise my son properly. I have always known that he has been misbehaving outside, but I never expected it to turn out like this."
That damned Lin Chang'an, how dare he embarrass him!
He should have thrown that unfilial son into a mass grave back then.
If it were Shixuan or Shiming, they would never do such a thing.
"Don't know? Marquis of Zhenbei, in my opinion, that's what you taught him." The Grand Commandant snorted coldly. He had personally witnessed the Marquis of Zhenbei leading his mistress out to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival that day.
"My lords, I will go back and teach that unfilial son a lesson. Tomorrow I will definitely lead him to apologize to each and every one of you."
"Marquis of Zhenbei, you don't actually think an apology can solve the problem, do you? If apologies were effective, what would be the point of the Dali Temple?"
"that is."
These officials are all seasoned veterans of the court, and even the Holy Emperor sometimes has to consider their options and give them some leeway.
If he were to actually manage such a thorny issue, he wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights.
The Holy Emperor was utterly disgusted by his stubbornness.
Ye must be blind to have taken a liking to such a man.
Recalling Lin Wanwan's adorable appearance, he held the talisman in his hand with great affection.
"Oh dear, my head is a little sore."
Startled, Eunuch Li rushed forward. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"I may not be able to attend the morning court session today. I have a headache and need to go back and rest."
"Your Majesty, quickly, this servant will help you back."
The Holy Emperor touched his head, looking somewhat unwell, and stood up. "Alright, court is adjourned."
Eunuch Li immediately shouted, "His Majesty is unwell, court is adjourned."
With a thud.
The ministers who had been struggling looked up at the main hall, but His Majesty was nowhere to be seen.
Then he turned to look at the "culprit".
The Grand Commandant punched the Marquis of Zhenbei directly in the eye.
Now it's time to go back and claim credit!
The Marquis of Zhenbei cried out in pain and rolled on the ground.
The officials whose daughters had been harassed were already furious and wanted revenge. Now that the Holy Emperor had left and someone else had made a move, they all surrounded him.
She stretched out her foot and kicked him.
"I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing son."
"How dare you harass my daughter! I'll beat you until you're childless!"
"Take off my daughter's clothes, and I'll take off yours."
"What a beast in human form!"
In an instant, the Golden Palace was thrown into chaos.
The Imperial Guards stood motionless at the door.
None of the eunuchs dared to step forward.
Just kidding, His Majesty has specially made room for you gentlemen, how could we spoil the fun?
"Stop hitting me, my leg is about to break."
"Ah, my penis, stop!"
"Help! Why are you taking off my official robes...?"
While being beaten, she was even more furious and resentful that Ye Lanyin had given birth to such a child.
He gritted his teeth and endured the punches and kicks hitting him.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise from the commotion in the Golden Palace finally subsided.
The Holy Emperor was in his study, happily admiring the talisman he had "hard to obtain".
Of all the emperors under heaven, only he has ended up like this, picking up things in the Golden Palace.
But he was happy to do so.
Which emperor was as lucky as him to possess so many magical talismans at the same time?
Standing to one side, Eunuch Wang glanced at the Holy Emperor out of the corner of his eye. This was hardly a headache.
The real headache is clearly with this little eunuch!
"Your Majesty, Minister Li, Minister Yao, Minister Sheng, and several other ministers are requesting an audience at the door."
"not see."
Your Majesty... you're not even going to appease us?
He was the one who suffered the most mistreatment as a eunuch.
With a bitter face, Eunuch Wang walked out the door, pulling at the corners of his mouth to reveal his big white teeth.
"Hehe, my lords, His Majesty is not feeling well and has already gone to rest."
