Chapter 1070: Killing a Chicken in a Shallow Way

Here, Chu Beihe watched the person approaching, and had already stretched out his hand to pull the person and was about to walk in together.

Hearing this voice suddenly, he tilted his head slightly, but his hand did not stop and pulled the person up.

After pulling the person to stand beside him, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites who was speaking in silence.

Although there were no words, the eyes seemed to be asking——

"What do you want to say?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked at the emperor and the future empress standing together and staring at him, and the words he was about to say were suddenly stuck.

He had an inexplicable feeling that he was very uninteresting.

It's strange to say that His Majesty went out of the palace to see the legendary girl who could attract phoenixes yesterday, and then issued an order to make her the queen.

But at this time, looking at the two standing together, it always gives people a sense of tacit understanding that the two have known each other for a long time.

Despite this, after the initial stalemate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still bravely showed their responsibilities as officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, although the order has been issued, Miss Feng has not held the ceremony of making the queen. She did not perform the ceremony when she met Your Majesty and stood side by side with Your Majesty. This is not in accordance with etiquette."

He was a little hesitant at first, but he spoke loud and clear later, neither humble nor arrogant.

The officials around him also agreed secretly.

Yes, this is not in accordance with etiquette!

Your Majesty is also too willful after a serious illness. He didn't even tell them about such a big thing as the title of Queen. This is even more inappropriate.

In the final analysis, it's because Your Majesty didn't discuss this matter with them.

Chu Beihe listened to the other party's words, but did not let go of Jiang Xuxu's hand. He just listened silently and asked after a while,

"Are you done?"

The light words gave people an invisible sense of oppression. Even the ministers who secretly agreed shut up in time.

The official from the Ministry of Rites who had just spoken swallowed his saliva and finally restrained his neither humble nor arrogant spirit

. "Your Majesty, I'm done."

Chu Beihe nodded, "When you're done, you can leave."

The official from the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what the king meant?

Let him leave, that's it?

Then will the future Queen change?

Shouldn't you express your opinion?

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to leave, Chu Beihe's eyes darkened slightly, and he wanted to kill a chicken directly. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, his palm was pinched by a soft hand.

This was Jiang Xuxu's meaning for him to just use his power appropriately.

After all, he was using someone else's body, so he shouldn't use it too much.

Chu Beihe paused for a moment, shook hands slightly to show that he understood, and then scanned the officials present with his dark eyes, and said slowly,

"Yesterday I had already made a clear decree that the legitimate daughter of the Feng family is the person of destiny chosen by the Phoenix, and is of equal respect to me."

As he spoke, he looked at the official from the Ministry of Rites who had just spoken, and said,

"Minister of Rites, you have disregarded my will. You will be punished by copying the Book of Rites a hundred times and demoted.

Anyone who has objections to the empress's etiquette in the future will be charged with offending the empress, dismissed, and punished with fifty strokes of the cane. There is no need to report to me."

After that, he ignored the panicked faces of the officials around him, took Jiang Xuxu, and walked away with the palace people.

It was also because yesterday was just a coming-of-age ceremony. Although there were many family members present, there were not many ministers present. In addition, there was too much excitement yesterday. In comparison, Chu Beihe's words "I am of the same dignity as you" did not seem so important. Many family members and wives forgot about it after returning home.

Coincidentally, the wife of the official from the Ministry of Rites who spoke was one of the people who let this slip.

The others present, either did not know like him, or knew but deliberately kept silent, wanting to take the opportunity to test the emperor's bottom line. Now they all knew it clearly.

Although it was a warning today, if it happens again, it will not be as simple as a simple punishment and demotion.

As for the official from the Ministry of Rites who was hit hard, no one cared how devastated he was at the moment.

Chu Beihe simply killed a chicken to scare the monkeys, and regardless of the thoughts of the officials and palace servants behind him, he personally led Jiang Xuxu to the palace prepared for her.

Because it was not a formal canonization, Jiang Xuxu did not move directly into the harem.

Chu Beihe arranged a main hall close to his Qianyuan Hall, and the palace had been cleaned up a few days in advance.

The layout and furnishings in the hall were all based on Jiang Xuxu's preferences and habits. In addition to these and the fact that it was closer to where he lived, this place was chosen because there was a ginkgo tree planted in the courtyard of this palace.

Although it is winter now and the ginkgo tree is almost covered with snow, the familiar scent of the ginkgo tree trunks still makes Jiang Xuxu quickly like this yard.

Knowing that she doesn't like too many people walking around her territory, Chu Beihe only arranged one palace maid to serve her, and other palace maids in charge of sweeping would try not to appear in front of her unless necessary.

Knowing that this was Chu Beihe's consideration for her, Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but hug him again after sending the palace maid away.

Yesterday in Feng Mansion, the two of them didn't want to meet and contact each other privately for too long, so they quickly got to the point after recognizing each other, and they didn't have a good time to talk about each other's situation after traveling through time.

Now that the person had been brought into the palace, the two of them had no time to talk. Chu Beihe subconsciously wanted to ask her for some rewards.

But just as he was about to lean over, Jiang Xuxu blocked him, and then he distanced them again.

Chu Beihe was stunned for a moment, then he understood why, and felt a little helpless, but he no longer had the original intention.

Although they both knew that the other person was the person they knew, they were borrowing someone else's body. It was okay to just hold hands and hug, but it would be inappropriate to go any further, and neither of them would feel comfortable.

As for the matter of being crowned queen, it was to give Xuxu a legitimate reason to enter the palace. If it were serious, Chu Beihe would never marry the fifteen-year-old Xuxu into the palace.

Even if he knew that her soul was not fifteen years old, it would not work.

Chu Beihe just did it out of habit, but now he reacted and put all his thoughts aside, telling her about some of the situations in the palace again.

"Although I don't know what Cang Lu is going to do with Wu Guang's phoenix egg and San Shu, if I want Wu Guang to hatch smoothly, relying on Cang Lu's power is the best way at the moment."

This time and space and the borrowed body have limitations on their power. Since they know that Canglu has no hostility towards them, they will naturally find a way to use him to achieve the results they want.

Jiang Xuxu naturally has the same idea.

The only thing that needs to be discussed is about Jiang Xuxu's previous life, Jianjia.

"Wenren Baiyi sent us here six thousand years ago, maybe with the idea of ​​letting you see the former Ten-tailed Sky Fox and helping you transform into Ten-tailed. However, from the situation yesterday, the Ten-tailed has a fickle temper. If you want to contact it, it's best to be safe."

That being said, Jianjia and Canglu left yesterday. If Jianjia never appeared again, it would be difficult for Xuxu to find the other party, let alone wait for an opportunity to contact her.

Jiang Xuxu has a different view on Chu Beihe's concern.

"I don't know this person, but I guess she won't abandon Canglu."

Jiang Xuxu said,

"Maybe when Canglu appears, she will reappear."

What's more, she is now... just like her, in the palace.
