In order to provide her family with a good living environment, Yin Jiao'e set her sights on the Liang Dynasty palace in Wu Kingdom.
She ran directly to a gatekeeper and said, "Sir, could you please inform them?"
The young woman who just went in with His Majesty is my daughter. Could you please have her come out and see me?
Upon hearing this, the squad leader carefully examined Yin Jiao'e for a few moments before immediately speaking sarcastically: "What's wrong? Are the guards of my Great Liang City so shameless?"
It's unbelievable how any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pretend to be a noble relative. You say you're her mother, and I'll say I'm the son-in-law of a god!
"Can't you stop being so shameless? If you're her mother, why doesn't she take you with her? Get lost, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense."
Yin Jiao'e said urgently, "I really am her mother. If you don't believe me, you can find her. Once she sees me, everything will be clear."
"Stop talking nonsense. Who do you think you are? You dare to try and establish a connection with His Majesty's distinguished guest?"
They are members of the Court of Justice, and even His Majesty's mentor and parents. How can you expect to see them whenever you want?
"Hurry up and leave. This is the imperial palace; it's not a place for country bumpkins like you to approach."
The squad leader spoke without any mercy to Yin Jiao'e, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet.
She planned to use the same trick again, taking out several gold ingots to bribe the squad leader once more.
But as soon as she handed over the gold, the squad leader slapped it away, saying, "You have some nerve!"
"In broad daylight, you dare to bribe an official of the imperial court! Believe me or not, we'll throw you in jail and torture you severely!"
Yin Jiao'e was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Su Xuejiao immediately pulled Yin Jiao'e aside and hurriedly said to the sergeant, "Sir, I am very sorry. My mother was a little anxious to see my sister just now, which is why she offended you. Please don't take offense."
As she spoke, she revealed a shy, girlish demeanor, blinking her eyes at the squad leader, exuding a natural charm.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that although the squad leader was middle-aged, he was remarkably handsome, especially with his thick, black beard that swayed down his chin, which possessed a unique allure that made him more charming than any of the Ji brothers.
However, the squad leader completely failed to grasp the meaning behind her flirtatious glances, and simply said, word by word:
"Considering this is your first offense, I'll let it slide this time. You have three breaths to leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Su Xuejiao's face stiffened, but she still helped Yin Jiao'e leave as if they were fleeing.
"What kind of people are they? Each one of them is such a hypocrite, coming all the way to the palace gates to curry favor. It's so unlucky to run into these kinds of people when I finally get a peaceful break!"
The squad leader spat as he watched Yin Jiao'e's departing figure.
At this moment, the sergeant next to him patted him on the shoulder: "Old Pig, that little wench was pretty enough, didn't you have any ideas?"
"What kind of bullshit looks does she have? She's just a vulgar beauty. To be honest, I, Zhuge Xiaoyao, have 103 concubines in my harem, and any one of them could easily outshine this low-class trash."
"Hahaha, Old Pig, you really know how to brag. One hundred and three concubines, just like the legendary Carefree Emperor. You wouldn't be copying him, would you?"
"If I said I am the Carefree Emperor, would you believe me?"
"Haha, alright, old pig, stop joking around. Look, it's almost time to go home. Are there any specific arrangements?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiaoyao took off his helmet, glanced at the sky, and said, "It's almost time. Tell the brothers that I'm treating them to lunch at Hao Ke Ju. Order whatever you want to eat and drink, as much as you want."
"The squad leader is awesome!"
A burst of loud cheers immediately erupted from the crowd.
Zhuge Xiaoyao looked at the cheering crowd in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and then laughed.
On the other side, Yin Jiao'e and her daughter, having left the palace gates, headed towards the inn.
Halfway there, Su Xuejiao couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why did you...?"
Yin Jiao'e replied directly, "Since this wild girl can live in the palace, I am her mother."
You should be able to move in; it not only provides a nice place to live, but it also elevates your social standing.
Su Xuejiao: "So Mother was thinking of me, but my sister might not agree."
Yin Jiao'e: "Hmph, you won't agree? Filial piety is paramount in mortal imperial families."
Could she possibly refuse her mother and siblings permission to move into the capital in front of all the officials in the court?
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you settle in peacefully. Go back and inform your brother first, then return to the palace."
Su Xuejiao was overjoyed upon hearing this and silently accepted Yin Jiao'e's arrangement.
...
Inside Jingyang Palace, delicacies from land and sea were already on the table, and the court band was in place.
Wu Yousheng personally accompanied them, treating Shen Zhao and the other two as honored guests.
"Immortal Master, Father, Mother, are you really members of the Court of Justice?"
"What, do you know about the Court of Judgments?"
“I not only know about them, but I also have many dealings with them. To be honest, I have an elder from the Court of Justice residing in my palace.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately became interested: "That's quite a coincidence! What's the background of that elder?"
Wu Yousheng: "They say he's the fifth law enforcement elder of the Public Tribunal, but we don't know the specifics and we dare not ask."
Shen Zhao stroked his chin: "Wow, you're actually three districts ahead of me. I'm not convinced."
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao immediately volunteered: "Big brother, just say the word, and I'll give you his head to use as a chamber pot."
Liang Hao's admiration for Shen Zhao has now reached a whole new level.
