Chapter 34: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



The envoy from Nanmo State thought he had made himself very clear, but helplessly, these people ignored him, and his expression changed from initial confusion to anger.

However, they were warned before they came not to be rude to the emperor of the Great Rui Dynasty, so they were trying their best to endure it.

Nanmo and the Great Rui Dynasty have only established diplomatic relations for two years, and there are very few people who can speak the Nanmo language. Currently, everyone has taken sick leave and is resting at home.

Shen Yunxiao's eyes swept over again and again, and gradually the smile on his face disappeared.

At this moment, even Lu Jinyue behind him noticed the problem.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" She leaned close to Shen Yunxiao's ear and asked softly.

"It's ridiculous that there is no one in my country Da Rui who is proficient in the language of Nanmo Country!" Shen Yunxiao slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and the memorial jumped twice.

Seeing Emperor Da Rui suddenly get angry, the envoys from Nanmo Kingdom suddenly felt a little scared.

Before he came, he also heard that the previous Emperor Da Rui had died. This young Emperor Da Rui had just ascended the throne, and it was said that his methods were extremely cruel and he would kill several people if he was unhappy.

At this moment, Emperor Da Rui's expression became visibly worse, and the envoys from Nanmo Kingdom were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

“!##%@%@%……%¥” He spoke a bunch of gibberish again, gesturing with his hands, but no one could understand him.

Lu Jinyue listened carefully and realized that this was the English she had learned.

Isn’t this simple?

"Relax, our emperor is not angry with you." Lu Jinyue stood beside Shen Yunxiao openly.

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes fell on her, some were surprised, some were confused, and more were suspicious.

Shen Yunxiao was extremely shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

"He was very nervous when he saw you were angry, and asked us if they did something wrong." Lu Jinyue bent down slightly to explain to Shen Yunxiao.

"really?"

"really."

Looking at the envoy from Nanmo Kingdom, he was no longer panicking. He bowed with both hands, imitating the etiquette of the Great Rui Dynasty. "Thank you very much! Why is your emperor so angry?"

"Because the professionals were not present." Lu Jinyue replied, "We wele you very much."

When the envoy from Nanmo heard this, he was so happy that he almost danced with joy.

The ministers present were all very surprised to see this scene. They had never heard that the girl from the Lu family could speak the language of the Nanmo Kingdom so well.

But they kept talking back and forth, and no one understood.

"Who knows what they are talking about? What if this Lu family girl says something bad about the Great Rui Dynasty? Wouldn't we not understand it?"

"Exactly, who knows what this woman's intentions are?"

"Is what she said right? Could it be that she wants to take this opportunity to show off? If she heard it wrong, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Great Rui Dynasty?"

"This is simply nonsense. How can a woman who knows nothing interfere in government affairs?"

"What's the matter with a woman standing here?"

The ministers under her became dissatisfied with her, and their points of attack shifted from "mistranslating the language" to "she is a woman".

"Sir, I met a master when I was young, and he taught me this language." Lu Jinyue said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"May I ask where this great master is now? I would like to visit him." An old minister was disgusted by the sight of women appearing in the court, and seemed to be able to accurately translate the language of the Nanmo Kingdom.

How could these ministers who had studied hard for decades and gone through layers of screening to stand here maintain psychological balance? They felt that their power had been challenged like never before!

"That master must have traveled around the world, and we just met by chance." Those masters were the English teachers who taught her in her previous life, and they also traveled around the world, didn't they?

The minister looked contemptuous and arrogant, and did not take Lu Jinyue seriously at all.

“Lord Zhao, if you can communicate with him, then it’s up to you.” Shen Yunxiao sneered at the minister.

The minister who was named shuddered all over, then bowed and lowered his head without saying anything.

Several ministers in the court dared not speak out against Lu Jinyue, and they could not stand her arrogant and complacent look, so they simply turned their heads away and didn't look at her.

"Since you gentlemen do not believe in my ability, then please ask the lords from the Honglu Temple to come and help translate. If you think that I am a woman and unworthy to stand here, then I am truly sorry. I will stand still today!"

Lu Jinyue's tough attitude made all the old-fashioned people furious. They accused her of being morally corrupt and unfaithful to women, saying that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.

Lu Jinyue raised her chin and refused to listen to anyone.

Shen Yunxiao hadn't felt so happy in a long time. Dealing with this group of old antiques every day sometimes made him really tired.

"Everyone, please make way. I'm here to invite the lord from the Honglu Temple over!" When the two sides were in a stalemate, a loud shout was heard from outside, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Hua Wuyang was seen walking towards this side with a middle-aged man in her hand. The middle-aged man was none other than Lord Li, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

Hua Wuyang met Shen Yunxiao's admiring gaze and proudly put her hands on her hips.

Lord Li originally hid at home pretending to be sick, but Hua Wuyang was shouting at his door early in the morning. After all, he was a young general with an official position, so the Li family really didn't dare to do anything to him.

He rushed into the Li family and dragged over Lord Li, who was walking his bird and teasing his concubine in the garden.

Hua Wuyang alone caused chaos in the Li family.

"Sir Li, if Lord Censor Xiao knew that you were hanging out with your concubine in broad daylight and behaved so indecently, do you think you would be impeached by the court tomorrow?" Hua Wuyang asked leisurely.

The concubine was originally frightened, but the moment she saw Hua Wuyang, her face flushed again and she even gave him a wink.

Lord Li, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly lost his temper. He had been a colleague of Censor Xiao for such a long time, and he had long known that he was a stubborn person who would not listen to anyone and would even die for his advice.

If Censor Xiao knew about this, wouldn't this skinny horse that he had just acquired a few days ago be lost?

Moreover, this skinny horse seemed to be restless, so he had to lock him up at home and discipline him properly.

So at this moment, the talented person was dragged to the court.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage. Long live the emperor." Lord Li knelt down tremblingly and saluted, not daring to look at the emperor out of guilt.

He asked for leave on the grounds that he was the youngest official in the Honglu Temple and the one who knew the language of Nanmo the best, and that he believed the emperor would not dare to do anything to him.

He joined forces with several other officials from the Honglu Temple just to see the scene when the emperor was isolated and helpless. How funny it would be!

Only now he thought he was the funniest.
