Perhaps the tenderness between the two of them in the bedroom seemed particularly comfortable, but Mu Ci and Shi Qingxue, who entered the palace early in the morning to see the emperor, felt very uncomfortable.
The two of them entered the palace early in the morning, only to learn from Yuzhu that their Majesty had not yet gotten up?
The two people who learned this terrible news looked at each other and saw the complicated expressions in each other's eyes.
You have to know that at this critical juncture, the situation outside is unpredictable. Both civil and military officials are wondering who is in charge of the court now.
Outside Taining City, the rebel suppression forces and the Beijing camp were still fighting against each other.
It is also because of this that it is particularly important for His Majesty to come forward today to stabilize the situation.
But they waited and waited, and it was almost noon, but Yuzhu said that their emperor had not gotten up yet?
Moreover, the information Mu Ci had was very accurate. Chu Yi had stayed overnight in the palace last night.
This... isn't appropriate?
The two men were very shameless, but they couldn't go and call them, so they could only symbolically hope that Yuzhu would find out what the emperor was thinking.
It was also at this time that news finally came from the palace.
His Majesty's trusted eunuch left the palace to convey his decree, requiring all civil and military officials in Beijing to enter the palace in the afternoon to attend the New Year's Court Meeting.
Everything was kept simple at the court meeting.
After receiving such an imperial decree, the ministers who had vaguely received some indirect information seemed to have already understood the current situation.
Obviously... His Majesty is still His Majesty.
They naturally wondered why Lord Chu suddenly stopped, but given the current situation, they could only keep their doubts in their hearts.
…
By the time of the afternoon court meeting, Xiao Ling had already regained his status as Emperor Chengping.
At this time, in Hanyuan Hall, all the officials had obviously understood the situation as they looked at the emperor on the dragon throne and Chu Yi standing in the front row of the hall.
On the dragon throne, Xiao Ling felt very strange.
Because she glanced at the ministers in the hall and found that Chu Yan seemed to be absent.
In other words, Chu Yan did not follow her orders at all, but when the thief Chu entered the palace last night, he clearly said that he had explained everything to Chu Yan. It seems that Chu Yan was very dissatisfied with this matter.
However, Xiao Ling was too lazy to think too much at this time. After all, in addition to stabilizing the situation, there were many things he needed to personally handle at this court meeting.
Chu Yi still stood in the hall in an orderly manner, looking at the little emperor who had completely changed his appearance on the dragon throne.
Xiao Ling, who now looked like a little emperor, was in stark contrast to the empress in his arms just now.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the face-sculpting pill Xiao Ling took was truly a miraculous item.
Chu Yi has been in power for many years, but it seems that he still knows very little about some of the strange things that the royal family has access to.
For example...the little witch that Xiao Ling mentioned last night, Fu Xi.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ling was busy on the dragon throne, giving instructions on everything Chu Yi had instructed him to do, as well as everything he felt needed to be explained.
All the court officials present received Chu Yi's hint and responded without hesitation.
To be honest, this was the first time that a court meeting went so smoothly, and Xiao Ling, who was used to being contradicted by the Chu thieves, was still not used to it.
But fortunately, she was very happy in her heart.
It felt like things were almost done, and she suddenly remembered that the Chu thief seemed to have never talked about political affairs.
When he looked at Chu Yi in the hall, he noticed that Chu Yi had been staring at him without reservation.
"Lord Chu?"
Chu Yi was stunned for a moment when Xiao Ling called out his name, then he came to his senses and quickly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Xiao Ling thought about it and couldn't help but remind him, "According to tradition, this year's Spring Examination will be held immediately after the Lantern Festival, hosted by the Ministry of Rites. Since you are the Minister of Personnel, you should pay more attention to the Spring Examination."
These words were not meant for Chu Yi to take seriously, but simply meant to make Chu Yi remember them.
After all, after the turmoil of the past few days, under normal circumstances, this examination basically cannot be held normally.
But now that the matter has calmed down, Xiao Ling, as the emperor, cannot forget such an important exam.
She woke Chu Yi up at this time, hoping that Chu Yi would arrange things for the Spring Examination as soon as possible.
It’s true, if the empress hadn’t mentioned it at this time, Chu Yi would have almost forgotten about it.
He had nothing to object to, so he nodded upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand."
"Well, that's good."
Xiao Ling felt relieved and then explained a few more small matters. The court meeting was finally over.
The court meeting basically dealt with some national affairs. As for what happened in the capital in the past few days, Chu Yi still needed to resolve them privately.
Not long after Xiao Ling returned to the Zichen Palace, Chu Yi followed him in.
"Chu thief, your third brother didn't seem to be at the court meeting. Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. I will take care of it."
Chu Yi replied that after all, they grew up together, so he was at ease with his third brother.
"However, just in case, Your Majesty can integrate Shi Qingxue's tens of thousands of troops into the New Beijing Camp, which will also increase the current Beijing Camp's defensive capabilities."
After all, the Beijing Camp is still in Chu Yan's hands. Even if Chu Yi gives up on usurping the throne, he will not let Chu Yan hand over the troops under his command to Xiao Ling.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Xiao Ling, but he himself can’t do it.
Most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp are already loyal to the Chu family. Even if the command is given to the emperor, the emperor may not be able to hold it firmly.
This is also the reason why Chu Yi asked Xiao Ling to integrate the army under Shi Qingxue.
"Don't worry, I know all this."
Xiao Ling waved his hand, and seeing a memorial on the desk in front of him, he subconsciously reached out and picked it up.
But soon, when she saw the signature on it, she immediately thought of something bad and quickly threw the letter away.
His face was extremely embarrassed, and he felt a little nervous inside.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Chu Yi was a little surprised to see the strange look on her face.
"Nothing...nothing." Xiao Ling waved his hands hurriedly. "By the way, I'm suddenly a little curious. Is General Shi...one of your men, Chu the thief?"
In order to hide her embarrassment, she hurriedly asked the question.
In fact, this doubt had been looming in her heart since Fu Xi deduced the ending for her for the second time.
However, because the two of them had not yet revealed their positions, Xiao Ling was very worried that Shi Qingxue would do something bad to him.
But now it’s different. Since Chu Yi is willing to continue to be her subject, she can accept it even if Shi Qingxue is in the Chu family camp.
The main thing is to clarify this doubt.
Chu Yi was also stunned when he heard this question, then frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, are you talking about... in what sense are you talking about your subjects?"
Xiao Ling: “?”
Chu thief, what's wrong with you?
You actually betrayed me? Do you feel sorry for me?
