The couple looked at each other in the court. Seeing the little empress's eyes full of admiration and infatuation, Chu Yi also said that he was wronged.
He said he had not arranged this scene at all.
Do I look like such an unreasonable person?
The answer is obvious, no.
I can only say that the people in the Ministry of Justice are better at having fun than me.
Given the precedent, we can only say that this morning court session was much quieter.
Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, Xiao Ling took the initiative to speak:
"In that case, do you have any other objections to my throne?"
objection?
Under such treatment, no one who dares to object dares to speak out now.
The ministers in the hall stared at each other for a long time, and finally received a very unified answer.
No!
Seeing this, Xiao Ling was too lazy to say anything more.
"It's inconvenient to handle other matters during the morning court today, so please adjourn!"
After saying this, she stood up and left through the side hall.
It was only after the emperor left that the originally silent Hanyuan Hall suddenly exploded.
A group of officials talked to each other, trying to come up with a plan for the current situation.
"Minister Chu..." Several cabinet ministers wanted to come over and ask Chu Yi what he was thinking.
But Chu Yi was too lazy to pay attention. He glanced at them, then took a step and chased after Xiao Ling from where he left.
The ministers left in the hall were completely dumbfounded.
You could say that today's morning court session was the only time that Minister Chu remained silent from beginning to end, but are you saying that Minister Chu did nothing?
No, although he didn't speak and had no presence, it seemed that everything that happened in the court meeting had the shadow of Lord Chu.
And the direction that the Shangshu-sama left in... is also very intriguing.
It was also at this time that Guo Yuan appeared in the center of the hall.
"What's all the commotion in the main hall?"
"Go back. As for what to do and how to do it, I think you are all smart people and it should be easy to understand!"
After saying this, Guo Yuan left Hanyuan Hall first.
Following his lead, several other ministers who respected Chu Yi also left Hanyuan Hall in a hurry without saying a word, either alone or in groups.
…
Outside the hall, Chu Yi walked much faster, and soon, he caught up with Xiao Ling, who had left earlier, at the end of the corridor.
Xiao Ling walked very slowly, as if deliberately waiting for someone to come over.
When she saw Chu Yi, her expression finally relaxed, and she threw herself directly into Chu Yi's arms without paying any attention to Yu Zhu watching her.
"I was so scared! Fortunately, nothing went wrong..."
In his arms, the little empress's face looked a little more frightened, and she really needed Chu Yi's warm body.
Her tone was filled with relief, having already lived up to her stern attitude in the court.
"Chu thief, you probably don't know that I feel even more helpless today than the day I first ascended the throne!"
Chu Yi hugged her with a smile on his face.
He could understand that the little empress would be very flustered when she went to court this time. After all, it was her first time to appear as an empress, and many things that were about to happen were completely unpredictable.
However, he had to admit that he was quite impressed by Xiao Ling's performance at the court meeting this time.
The performance is also consistent with Xiao Ling's ability.
Chu Yi gently patted the little empress on the back and said, "Your Majesty, let's not stand here and talk. Let's go back to the Purple Palace first."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling seemed to notice Yuzhu and a few young eunuchs beside him, and his face turned slightly red.
"…good……"
Soon, the emperor and his minister returned to the imperial study in the Purple Palace.
Without the servants to serve him, Xiao Ling finally felt much calmer. He took off the heavy crown on his head and handed it to Yuzhu, then slowly sat down on the bench in front of the desk.
Chu Yi sat next to him as usual, and put his arm around Xiao Ling, holding her in front of him.
Then, the hem of the empress's black skirt embroidered with phoenix patterns slowly fell down, sliding down the sides of her legs and covering the lower bodies of the two men.
"Your Majesty's performance in the court was very good, which was beyond my expectations."
Chu Yi smiled as he admired the little empress's novel dragon robe from a close distance.
It’s true, this dragon robe is very special. It feels exquisite and silky to the touch, and it exudes the majesty and dominance of an emperor.
However, there is also a sense of tenderness and playfulness.
"I think it's very normal." Facing Chu Yi's praise, Xiao Ling seemed very calm.
"I can see that several people, including the Minister of Rites, are doing this because of you, so they didn't make a big fuss about it. Otherwise, the court wouldn't have ended so easily."
"Your Majesty, there's no need to belittle yourself. Your passionate speech in the court just now was already quite impressive."
Chu Yi clearly had a very high opinion of her, and he praised the empress in his arms generously:
"I can see that Your Majesty was fully capable of controlling the situation at that time. Even if my men did not take action, the officials would not gain any advantage. What I prepared was obviously just icing on the cake."
Xiao Ling didn't care about it at first, but he couldn't resist Chu Yi's sincerity and one-sided compliments.
After Chu Yi finished speaking, I felt an inexplicable sweetness in my heart.
As expected, I said that my methods were not bad and everything I did was worthy of recognition.
If the Chu bandits were not so powerful, I would probably have won this power struggle.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xiao Ling has now let it go.
In this way, the situation where the king and his minister can be both king and minister and husband and wife is perfect.
A gentle smile appeared on her face. She raised her arms and placed them on Chu Yi's shoulders. Her sleeves slipped down, revealing her fair skin. She just tilted her head slightly and looked at Chu Yi in front of her.
This noble jade face, completely occupied by a gentle smile, seemed even more touching under Chu Yi's close scrutiny.
Gulong——
Chu Yi swallowed slightly in a daze.
A month had passed since the two confessed their identities, and he thought he had long since gotten used to the fact that Xiao Ling was the empress.
However, he had never expected that when he faced the empress in a dragon robe, his throat would feel a little dry.
"His Majesty……"
Chu Yi couldn't help but hug the woman in his arms closer, "Lingling, you look really beautiful today..."
Hearing Chu Zei calling her name so intimately and boldly, Xiao Ling's face flushed.
"You...what are you talking about..." The little empress felt shy and buried her face in front of Chu Yi.
"As the Son of Heaven, this isn't the first time I've worn a dragon robe. Why are you reacting so strongly..."
"No," Chu Yi denied it, and couldn't help but remind him: "Although this is not the first time Your Majesty has worn a dragon robe, the previous time was when you were dressed as a man, so it's still different..."
The dragon robe looked very heavy at the moment, but with close contact, Chu Yi could still clearly feel the delicate warmth of the little empress's skin around her waist.
"In short, I think the workers in the weaving bureau who rushed to make this dragon robe with phoenix pattern should be paid more!"
