Chapter 135 Extra 2

On the 981st steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, dozens of ministers knelt under the scorching sun and begged the emperor for his orders.

The palace ladies had come back to persuade them countless times, but those stubborn old ministers would not listen and insisted on kneeling here to ask the emperor to revoke his decision.

"There has never been a talk of establishing a male empress in this dynasty. Your Majesty has not been on the throne for long. If you really establish that... that man as empress at this time, I am afraid that the subjects will complain!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Ever since Duan Mingchong went to court and informed the ministers to choose a day to establish Sui Yan as the queen, these old ministers have been kneeling here.

When Sui Yan followed Duan Mingchong back to the capital from Jiangnan, it was already midsummer.

The sun was scorching, and some of the elderly were already shaking.

But they knelt and begged for half a day again, but Duan Mingchong seemed to be as hard-hearted as a rock and refused to give in at all, not even allowing anyone to offer their condolences.

Several old officials are about to get sunburned.

Just when some people were discussing whether to go back, the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly opened.

Everyone was cheered up and looked at the door eagerly, hoping that the emperor would come out and revoke his order.

Who knew that the person who came out was actually Sui An Hou.

The author has something to say: Sui Yan was holding a porcelain bowl as big as his face, with a bright red patch on it, which seemed to be a pile of washed fruits.

He walked out curiously, looked at the important officials kneeling neatly on the steps, and exclaimed, "Why is it so lively?"

The ministers ignored him and wished they could poke out their own eyes.

Sui Yan, however, did not feel disliked. He happily called Le An to bring him a soft mat and laid it on the steps. Then he thought he was afraid of the sun, so he asked Le An to hold an umbrella for him to block the sun.

He already knew that Le An was the prince's man, otherwise he would not have deliberately taken Le An away and let him keep an eye on him.

He sat on the steps, eating grapes with a wooden stick, saying as he ate, "That's great! I like the hustle and bustle. I thought this palace would be deserted, but I didn't expect so many people to be here to play with me."

Everyone: “…”

The ministers who originally wanted to leave now wanted to run away even more.

Sui Yan was irritating without realizing it, and he kept eating the fruit he had just taken out of the ice cellar.

An old minister glared at him angrily and almost wanted to scold him.

Sui Yan looked at him suspiciously, poked a grape towards him and said, "Master Gao, you are looking at me like this, do you want to eat grapes?"

Mr. Gao: “…”

Lord Gao could no longer bear it and said in a stern voice: "As a man, don't you think it is humiliating to lie under a man? Aren't you afraid of being cursed and infamous for eternity?!"

Sui Yan remained calm despite being scolded like this. He waved his wooden stick and said sincerely, "There's nothing I can do. Your Majesty just likes me."

Everyone: “…”

There was silence all around.

After a while, someone else couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You are a noble man, you can have any man you want, why do you insist on using your beauty to serve others and become a lowly male concubine? Don't you think General Sui Xun will scold you? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to enter the ancestral tomb after you die?"

This was a bit harsh, but Sui Yan was still not angry. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, even after I die, I will be buried in the imperial mausoleum."

Everyone said again: "..."

Sui Yan was probably annoyed, so he stood up and ran back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Just when everyone thought that he could not stand the insults and asked the emperor to revoke his order, he came out holding a plaque.

When everyone saw the words on it, their faces turned green.

Sui Yan placed the sign aside. It was written in black on red paper and looked extremely large.

【It is useless to say more, Your Majesty loves me. 】

Everyone: “…”

It seems that he can counter all the insults and disagreements with this sentence.

Everyone's faces turned green. No one knew whether it was because their bodies couldn't take it or because they were mad at Sui Yan, but people started to get up and go back one after another.

Sui Yan sincerely wanted them to stay: "Hey, don't leave, play for a while longer."

People ran faster.

Sui Yan feasted all the ministers and finished eating the fruit, then happily took the sign and went back.

Duan Mingchong was handling government affairs. Seeing him coming back with a smile on his face, he asked in confusion, "What were you doing just now?"

Sui Yan said: "Nothing, I'm going to play."

Duan Mingchong put down his cinnabar pen and didn't believe him: "Where did you go to play?"

Sui Yan turned the sign over and placed it on the table, smiling with eyes curved: "Showing off is annoying."

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Duan Mingchong immediately rubbed his brows with a headache and said helplessly: "You...ah."

He could not say anything and could only sigh.

Sui Yan placed the sign at the foot of the table and said, "Put it here first. Don't touch it. I'll need it again tomorrow if someone else kneels down."

Duan Mingchong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aren't you afraid that they will get angrier and angrier and disagree?"

Sui Yan leaned over the desk and tilted his head to look at him, humming, "I don't care, just agree to it."

Duan Mingchong was speechless.

He reached out and touched Sui Yan's forehead, and said softly, "Be good, they will soon have no control over you."

Sui Yan pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be..."

He looked at his belly and asked, "Am I going to have a dragon baby?"

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Duan Mingchong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This incident became known to the whole city and became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

After the court session ended one day, Jiang En and the ministers who came with him to ask for orders waited for a while, and soon, Sui Yan, who came to annoy people every day without fail, arrived.

Jiang Enhe hurried forward and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I really can't tell. His Majesty really intends to make you the queen. Isn't he afraid that you alone will cause chaos in the palace and turn the world upside down?"

Sui Yan was eating melon seeds and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he asked Le An to show him the brand.

Jiang Enhe: "..."

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty. Xianye, who had been sentenced to exile, was taken back to the capital by Jiang Enhe. During this period, they were discussing marriage, so Jiang Enhe was in a good mood and did not argue with him.

"You don't even know, those rumors about you and the prince a few years ago were spread all over the city by someone, and in the end, countless stories were printed and sold everywhere," Jiang Enhe grabbed Sui Yan's melon seeds and cracked them together, saying, "Thanks to those stories, there seem to be fewer people who oppose you now."

Wu Mo has changed his career to become a book writer and storyteller in recent years. He is a good talker and can make a small matter sound fancy, which has attracted countless people to follow and love him.

Thanks to those storybooks, the entire Beilan people had been brainwashed for three or four years. So after the news of Duan Mingchong's plan to establish a queen spread, there were actually fewer people who opposed it than before.

Some even printed countless copies of the two people's storybooks and posted them everywhere, saying, "This is real!"

Like madness.

Sui Yan began to think about whether he should write a plaque for Wu Mo and send it to him.

The ministers continued to make noise for three or four days. On the fifth day, when the emperor was in court, Master Gengxue unexpectedly entered the palace and presented the emperor with a radish hexagram.

All the civil and military officials in the court were immediately inspired, thinking that Master Gengxue was indeed worthy of being a messenger of gods and Buddhas. He must have sensed the omen of Beilan's misfortune, so he came to persuade His Majesty not to do such a shocking thing.

Who would have thought that after Master Gengxue arrived at the hall, he only said one word.

"Can."

Everyone was silent.

Gengxue explained: "This is God's will."

Everyone fell silent again, and no one wanted to talk for a while.

Fortunately, Gengxue's words still had weight in the entire Beilan. After the court session ended, the number of people kneeling outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony to beg for mercy had decreased by more than half.

As the years go by, there is no one to relieve my boredom, and I feel bored.

He took the remaining popularity back home and then ran back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Duan Mingchong was talking to Gengxue. When he saw Sui Yan coming over, he smiled gently.

Sui Yan looked at the monk's forehead and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, could this person be someone you found to impersonate me?"

Otherwise, how could this monk, who symbolized obscurity to him, suddenly speak human language?

Duan Mingchong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't be rude."

Gengxue smiled and said, "I have met the Marquis."

Sui Yan saw his fake smile and confirmed that he was Geng Xue, and returned the greeting with a fake smile.

Gengxue said: "Every word the poor monk said is true."

Sui Yan doubted, "Can the gods and Buddhas really tolerate the emergence of a male queen in Bei Lan?"

Gengxue clasped her hands together and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty sacrificed your life for justice and saved Ziweixing from death. You are Beilan's lucky star."

Sui Yan was very unmodest and said, "That's right."

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Duan Mingchong couldn't hold it in and smiled with his head tilted.

Geng Xue probably didn't want to talk to Sui Yan, who could make people do two wrong with just one word, so she simply bowed and left with a fake smile.

As soon as Gengxue left, Sui Yan immediately said to Duan Mingchong: "I am a lucky star! I saved you from the dire situation! Why don't you thank me quickly?"

Duan Mingchong smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for?"

Sui Yan stretched out his hand towards him: "One thousand..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Mingchong grabbed his hand and pulled it into his arms. He leaned over and bit his lips, saying softly, "How about I pay you back with a night of love?"

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan said sincerely: "Bah, you got the advantage and still acted like a traitor, then I'm at a big loss."

Duan Mingchong smiled: "Don't you want to change?"

Sui Yan thought for a long time before muttering, "Change, change, change."

A few months later, it was the seventh day of June, an auspicious day.

The new emperor established his queen.

From then on, the country enjoyed peace and prosperity.

It really is a lucky star... I guess.

【See you next time! 】
