Just when the system thought that the host's ability was already very impressive, Xie Shizhu looked up at the pale-faced Xie Hailan.
The woman's voice was lazy, yet contained a sense of authority that made people shudder.
Xie Shizhu said, "Xie Hailan, I have always forgiven you out of consideration for your pain in losing your loved ones, but it seems that my forgiveness has become your capital for wanton behavior."
After saying this, Xie Hailan froze and glared at the woman fiercely.
Xie Shizhu curled her red lips slightly: "You have challenged my patience again and again. I warned you last time. If you don't take my words seriously again, I will not do it again."
Xie Hailan swallowed and subconsciously turned to look at the twins beside him, as if waiting for them to speak for him.
However, the twins lowered their heads and pretended not to be familiar with her.
It was as if the coincidence of the three people meeting yesterday was all her illusion.
Xie Shizhu said calmly, "Come here, take Xie Hailan away and give him twenty lashes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Hailan realized that he was all alone. These twins were completely opportunists.
She protested, "I have done nothing wrong. Your Majesty, are you abusing your power?"
Xie Shizhu raised her eyebrows. "Ah? Didn't make any mistakes? Prince Yi, come and tell her what mistakes you made."
Xie Ji was slightly startled, then he spoke slowly and softly, "You have violated the great taboos of the palace and disregarded His Majesty's authority once again. This will punish your entire clan. His Majesty has been very magnanimous by only punishing you with twenty strokes of the cane."
Xie Hailan's feet felt cold, and she suddenly realized that there was no one behind her.
She struggled desperately, "Gentlemen, please judge for yourself, I... let me go!"
Before Xie Hailan could finish her explanation, a guard came over and pushed her to the ground.
Immediately, an official said, "Your Highness, I have long seen that Xie Hailan has two hearts. I think he should be killed to scare the monkeys."
Xie Shizhu shrugged at Xie Hailan, who was struggling on the ground, and said innocently, "Did you hear that? I'm not the only one who feels this way."
Then, Xie Hailan was taken away, and the woman's hoarse and unwilling voice spread all around: "Xie Shizhu, you will get retribution one day."
Xie Shizhu acted as if she hadn't heard him and said to the palace maid who had paused, "Continue serving the dishes."
Immediately afterwards, the scene became lively again.
It was as if what happened to Xie Hailan had never happened.
Fan Miaozhou and Fan Zhi also returned to their seats.
Xie Ji looked at Xie Shizhu deeply, his eyes filled with admiration.
Blatant and searing.
No matter how clumsy Xie Shizhu was, he could feel his gaze.
For some reason, Xie Shizhu felt a little unnatural.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet was a great success. Xie Shizhu not only dealt a heavy blow to Xie Hailan, but also made these ministers look at him with admiration.
After the Hundred Flowers Banquet ended, Xie Shizhu had heard no less than twenty ministers praising her.
Xie Shizhu was not too surprised. In this world, only the strong can eat meat.
After sending the officials away, she returned to her own palace and fell directly on the couch exhausted. She felt sleepy as soon as she closed her eyes.
She slept until the next morning court session.
It was only when Ming Ruzhen stood beside her bed and called out to her several times that Xie Shizhu finally woke up.
Finally, he went to the morning court in a daze.
This time, the sound of people bowing to her was louder than ever before.
It can be seen that her performance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday was quite good.
The system quickly echoed: [That's very nice!]
When the court was about to leave, Xie Shizhu looked at Ming Ruzhen and said something that shocked everyone: "From today on, Ming Ruzhen will serve as the Imperial Preceptor."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.
The only person who is stunned is Ming Ruzhen.
Ming Ruzhen was stunned for a long time because no woman had ever held any official position in the imperial palace.
It was already a strange thing that Xie Shizhu became the emperor.
After a while, a minister objected, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Ming Ruzhen is just a woman, how can she be the imperial teacher?"
The other ministers agreed, saying, "Yes, yes."
Xie Shizhu frowned slightly, hating this kind of discrimination.
What do you mean women are not suitable?
She actually felt that Ming Ruzhen was more competent than any other man here.
Suddenly, different voices appeared in the court.
The man said in a slightly calmer tone, "I agree. Your Majesty is also a woman. After ascending the throne, she has successively resolved various difficulties faced by the Moon Kingdom. Although the emperors of all dynasties were men, who has surpassed Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, the court officials had different expressions.
It wouldn't matter if someone else said this, but it just happened to come out of Xie Ji's mouth.
Isn't he personally belittling the late emperor?
Despite the strange looks from the people around him, the man remained calm and kept his eyes fixed on Xie Shizhu.
The court was in complete silence. Xie Ji glanced at everyone nonchalantly, "Could it be that what I said is wrong?"
