Xiao Mokuang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark light appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the little emperor's pink lips pursed slightly, with a sleepy light in his eyes, and he raised his hand to rub his eyes.
Then he yawned.
In an instant, all the momentum he had just had wasted.
Xiao Mo Kuang was indeed a little grumpy when he woke up, but he was usually extremely self-disciplined and used to it, so he didn't show it much. He just preferred to say some malicious words after waking up in the morning.
The words on the tip of his tongue just now were not uttered yet, when he suddenly saw the little emperor's expression, he paused and just thought it was funny. After laughing, the emotions that were pent up in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
Xiao Mo Kuang calmly suppressed his previous irritability and walked over.
Then the little girl's sleepy voice was heard, "Master, it's so early."
It's obvious that you were a quarter of an hour late.
But seeing Chu Ci's expression, Xiao Mo Kuang raised his eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.
The civil and military officials in the court had been waiting for a while. After paying homage, Chu Ci sat on the dragon throne. There was another chair next to her dragon throne. Xiao Mokuang, who followed closely behind her, sat down next.
When the court session began, Chu Ci listened attentively for a while and found that except for the rather stubborn but authoritative elder, everyone else knew very well who the real master of the court was.
Almost everything was reported directly to Xiao Mokuang, bypassing her.
After all, for the ministers in the court, the scene of blood almost flowing like a river in the court a year ago is still vivid in their minds. It is too shocking, as if it happened just yesterday.
It was this man who calmly pulled the late emperor down from the throne, killed half of the royal princes and princesses, crippled the legs of the then crown prince, and completely reshuffled the court. Many of the figures who were there yesterday were gone the next day.
The court officials were well aware of the gloomy and cruel nature hidden beneath this gentle and calm face.
Halfway through the morning court session, the discussion was still about the same few things, endless.
Xiao Mo Kuang didn't say anything either. He usually didn't bother to deal with such trivial matters. He just listened to their discussion and wanted to see when they were going to stop.
There was no expression on that face that always wore a faint smile, but a hint of boredom flashed across his eyes, and then his gaze turned to the little emperor who was sitting not far away and a little higher.
From the moment the little emperor said "Stand up" at the beginning, he stood quietly and obediently beside the characters, not saying a word. He was extremely well-behaved.
When I looked over, I saw that her black hair was slightly hanging down beside her fair cheeks, her white and tender hands were supporting her small chin like jade, and a string of small wooden beads that looked a little old was hanging on her wrist. The beads, which were originally dark in color and made of polished wood, became shiny and red, making her skin look even more delicate and white.
But the owner of this slender hand was holding on like this... and dozing off.
Although she was some distance away from Xiao Mo Kuang, people who practiced martial arts generally had good eyesight. Even at this distance, Xiao Mo Kuang could still see Chu Ci's fine eyelashes drooping, and her big, dark eyes were completely covered.
But perhaps the environment was not very suitable, and she was occasionally awakened by the arguments of ministers in the court.
