Luo Jiu immediately dropped her lazy, chatty expression and looked a little puzzled. What day is it today? Why are they all coming to see me?
If I didn't believe the system wouldn't malfunction, I would have thought they knew I was an imposter.
"Your Majesty, your hair has been styled." Yueying quickly sped up her work when she saw someone paying their respects.
Luo Jiu entered the hall and saw a man in a red official robe waiting in front of it. His black and white hair was intertwined, but his eyes were bright and piercing. It was none other than the current Prime Minister, Ye Si.
Luo Jiu hurriedly went up and said, "What a wonderful day it is today! Everyone has time to come and sit in my palace."
"This old minister pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Ye Si hurriedly came forward to pay his respects when he saw Luo Jiu arrive.
As a civilized person from modern times, Luo Jiu could not bear to see a sixty-year-old man perform such a grand gesture in front of him, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"I wonder what brings you here so early, Grand Tutor?" Luo Jiu asked.
"Your Majesty did not attend the morning court session this morning. This old minister was worried that you might be unwell, so I came to visit you." Prime Minister Ye Si looked at her with concern.
"It's alright, I'm fine, you can go back now," Luo Jiu said dismissively.
“Your Majesty, I know roughly what happened. Although you shouldn’t be distracted by frivolous pursuits, the Regent has gone too far,” Yes advised.
"Back then, the late emperor entrusted you to the two of us, hoping that we would assist you and make you a wise ruler. Who knew that in these past few years, Gu Muchen has been in control of the government, so that Your Majesty, who is nearing adulthood, still has no power whatsoever."
"This has created a situation where neither the ruler nor the subject is in harmony. Is Gu Muchen trying to usurp the throne?" Ye Si said, his anger rising as he stood up.
Luo Jiu was about to chime in and join Ye Si in cursing Gu Muchen, because he had just pinched her.
However, upon further reflection, he thought, "If I agree and a spies with ulterior motives overhear, I'll soon be dead." He quickly dissuaded her:
"Grand Tutor, please calm down, it's not that serious. Although I am very disappointed that my rabbit was taken, I think that the Regent has been in power for so many years, he would have taken action to usurp the throne long ago."
Moreover, I trust my father's judgment. Since he was willing to entrust him with great power and let him assist me, he must have trusted the Regent implicitly. Once I come of age, the Regent will certainly be willing to return power to me.”
After saying that, Luo Jiu took Yes's hand, helped him to a chair, and poured him a cup of tea herself.
“Your Majesty, why don’t you understand? Nowadays, the Three Departments and Six Ministries are all under the Regent’s control, and all major affairs of the country are reported to the Regent. You spend your days reading these trivial memorials, and I think he has no intention of returning power to you.”
Luo Jiu thought to herself, "It's better not to review the memorials. Wouldn't that give me away? I can just be a lazy bum and wait until the regent wants to seize power and become the most powerful man in the world. That way, the male lead won't want to destroy the world anymore. My mission will be over. How wonderful!"
Luo Jiu suppressed her smile and said in an indifferent tone, "Grand Tutor, I trust him."
Luo Jiu's words completely shut down the conversation. Prime Minister Ye Si, furious, glared and stormed off.
After seeing Ye Si leave in anger, Luo Jiu continued to drink tea and eat desserts, looking quite content.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly flashed across the roof beams inside the hall, and then disappeared after Prime Minister Ye Si left.
