Chapter 354 Don’t Take It Lightly
After the ministers left, the Golden Palace suddenly became empty.
Sheng Yunshao looked at Xiao Chengjin standing above and gave a wicked smile.
He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Emperor."
Before Xiao Chengjin could respond, Sheng Yunshao couldn't help laughing.
He laughed heartily a few times and said cheerfully, "My dear son-in-law, please quickly grant us a marriage. We want to get married before your coronation ceremony."
Princess Anran curled her lips into a smile and whispered, "The children's affairs are more important. Let's put our affairs aside for later."
When Sheng Yunshao heard this, his smile froze on the corner of his lips.
Oh, why is it so difficult to get married...
Jiang Ruo looked at Sheng Yunshao's disappointed expression and nudged Xiao Chengjin with his elbow, "The old man is anxious to get married."
Xiao Chengjin walked down, holding Jiang Ruo's hand. "Father-in-law, I'll write you an imperial decree granting you marriage when I'm done. You can just wait to be the groom!"
Sheng Yunshao's brows lit up immediately, "Okay, got it."
"Ruoxin, are you tired? Let's go back to the princess's mansion."
"Oh, I've been away for so long, I miss the Princess Mansion."
Princess Anran looked at Xiao Chengjin and the others and said earnestly, "The rest of the matter will be left to you."
Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Auntie, Jin'er will put the country first."
Princess Anran nodded.
She looked at the dragon throne above and sighed slightly, "During his years in office, Xiao Junze has been wary of his ministers. Although he hasn't been able to win over many of them, you shouldn't let your guard down..."
Jiang Ruo understood Princess An Ran's concerns and comforted her, "Aunt, we won't give him any chance to take advantage of you, don't worry!"
Little Phoenix echoed, "Auntie, as long as I am here, you can put your mind at ease!"
Princess Anran looked at the little phoenix's smug expression and burst out laughing.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng."
"This is what I should do." Little Phoenix said proudly.
Haha, I finally have a place to use my skills.
Sheng Yunshao looked at Xiao Chengjin and suddenly felt a little pity for him.
Alas, although everyone is vying to be the emperor, being an emperor is really tiring!
For the happiness of many people, I have to bear the brunt of the pain.
Sheng Yunshao said pretentiously: "You have just taken over the palace and there are still many things to deal with. We will go first."
Xiao Chengjin summoned several secret guards, "You guys escort my aunt and father-in-law back to the princess's mansion."
"As you command!" Several secret guards bowed.
Sheng Yunshao took Princess An Ran and turned to leave.
At this moment, only Jiang Ruo, Xiao Chengjin and Xiao Fenghuang were left in the hall.
Jiang Ruo asked slyly, "What do you feel at this moment?"
Xiao Chengjin immediately held Jiang Ruo in his arms and said with a look of grievance, "I just feel like the burden on me has become heavier."
"I'll share the burden with you." Jiang Ruo chuckled.
That's impossible.
Little Phoenix looked at the two people hugging each other and muttered angrily, "How can you hug each other in broad daylight?"
Xiao Chengjin looked at the jealous little phoenix, and proudly kissed Jiang Ruo on the corner of her lips.
Little Phoenix: “…”
Alas, childish man.
Jiang Ruo gently pushed Xiao Chengjin away, curled her lips and said, "Now is not the time for love affairs."
"By the way, where are we staying?"
I feel a little uncomfortable living in the palace suddenly.
After Xiao Chengjin thought about it, he said, "Let's live in Xihe Palace for the time being!"
"Alright!" Jiang Ruo blinked. "Do you... have to take over those official duties?"
Xiao Chengjin: “….”
Take care of official business now?
Isn't it not officially open for business yet?
Xiao Chengjin laughed and said, "The palace is so big, let's go out for a walk first."
Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "Okay, I guess things are probably in chaos outside now."
Seeing this, the little phoenix flew out of the Golden Palace first...
At this moment, there was a sound of crying in the harem.
"Where is the emperor?"
"Woo woo, we don't want to go to the cold palace."
"Let us out of the palace..."
The royal guards had cold faces and let them cry.
Commander Wu looked at the concubines who were crying and wailing, and paced back and forth in frustration.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Stop crying."
The painful crying stopped abruptly...
While the concubines were still in shock, Commander Wu said patiently, "My ladies, please stop crying."
"As long as you behave well, you will have the opportunity to leave the palace..."
Commander Wu thought secretly: Never mind, let’s just trick them into the cold palace first.
After hearing what Commander Wu said, the concubines immediately became excited.
They wiped their tears and asked with sobs, "Commander Wu, are you telling the truth?"
Commander Wu looked at the pairs of expectant eyes before him and said, "I promise that what I said is true."
In the end, Commander Wu felt very guilty.
The concubines discussed it in low voices and decided to believe what Commander Wu said.
"Okay, we sisters will trust you for now."
Commander Wu restrained his expression and said, "Then please follow me, ladies and gentlemen!"
So, under the leadership of Commander Wu, all the concubines carried their packed bags and headed towards the cold palace.
It doesn't matter if the emperor abdicates, they have long had enough of staying in this harem...
