At General Jiang's age, he actually rarely attends court. However, he suddenly heard news from outside yesterday and thought that the Xiao family would be mentioned in the court today, so he came to listen.
Minister Xiao was also helpless, and said with a wry smile: "When I learned that he was a woman, I also didn't believe it, but... this is the fact..."
The emperor's face was a little sallow, and there was a hint of darkness under his eyes.
Sitting on the dragon throne, his body was a little crooked. Hearing what Minister Xiao said, he was very angry: "Do you Xiao family take me seriously? Why didn't you say anything when I appointed him as my son-in-law a few days ago?!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... just found out... that my niece is still young. I was really scared when she was given the marriage, and I didn't dare to reveal it to outsiders. That's why... it's all my fault. I am willing to take full responsibility!" Minister Xiao immediately kowtowed.
"Come here, go and capture Xiao Cunyu!" said the emperor angrily.
However, just as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him said, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Young Master of the Xiao Family and... the Taoist priests are outside the palace gates requesting an audience. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come personally with his men..."
"Announce." The emperor's eyes were gloomy.
…
"Announce... Xiao Cunyu to see you—"
…
Xiao Cunyu got the news and then entered the palace.
She was wearing a white dress with cloud patterns today. Every step she took was extremely graceful, and she looked like an ethereal being. She had someone carefully select this dress. This color and style showed her temperament when she wore it, so that what she said would be more convincing.
She wore a bun on her head, with her hair loose at the back, a strand of silver silk flowing down her long black hair. She looked elegant and free, without any fancy decorations on her body. Compared to her usual appearance, she had a more otherworldly and inviolable aura.
After all, you are entering the palace, and you cannot carry your sword with you when you enter the hall.
But it doesn't matter.
The prince was in front, Xiao Cunyu was behind, and several Taoists followed on both sides. They did not look like they were being questioned, but rather like they were here to help all living beings.
Xiao Cunyu entered the hall and knelt down decisively.
But when her eyes met her uncle's, she saw that his forehead was a little red when he looked back at her, and her heart suddenly felt a little more distressed.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little sleepy. He glanced down and was surprised when he saw Xiao Cunyu.
"Are you Xiao Cunyu?" asked the emperor.
He had heard of this man many times, and he even almost became his son-in-law, but this was the first time he met him.
I've heard that the seventh son of the Xiao family is androgynous and has a heavenly appearance. Now, seeing him... he is indeed extraordinary. His aura is unmatched by any woman in the harem. Even the late queen when she was young could only be half as good as Xiao Cunyu.
Moreover, her temperament...
The emperor had many beauties in his harem. In that gentle place, he looked at every woman as if she were a piece of exquisite decoration. Even if it was the niece of a minister, he would still feel the same way...
"That's right," Xiao Cunyu replied straightforwardly. "I came to see Your Majesty today, firstly to ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness for my crime of deceiving you, and secondly, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
Xiao Cunyu's voice was crisp and I heard that he didn't show much humility.
The emperor looked at this stunning figure, and his anger faded slightly. He surveyed the crowd and said, "You seem quite good, but you're a bit too bold! You don't even take the crime of deceiving the emperor seriously. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"Father, I have something to say." Ying Huaiji immediately stepped forward and, without waiting for Xiao Cunyu to speak, said, "Sir Xiao Qi, you cannot be killed."
