Chapter 417 The Descent of the Holy Mother



Huan Yue looked at Di Baose.

It has to be said, Sailor Moon looks really cool in the sunlight!

If she were stronger in combat, it might be acting, but it's not necessarily real.

Besides, Di Baose has trained, so he's definitely not a weakling.

Huan Yue suddenly thought, if it's necessary to train hard just to wear these clothes, then so be it. It's perfectly normal for women to lose weight to wear pretty clothes!

Di Baose has a skill, and she also diligently practices martial arts to improve her skills, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Huan Yue then asked, "What weapon do you use?"

Di Baose took out a shield, a real shield.

Although it's not a formal structure, it's made of thin wooden boards wrapped in a thick layer of cloth. It's not very heavy, but it greatly increases the sense of security.

Huan Yue thought for a moment: "Some people carry straw hats, but if you carry this, it will look like a chopping board."

A group of beautiful women outside were laughing wildly.

Wrapped in cloth, it doesn't resemble a cutting board; its round shape is similar to a pot lid.

Di Baose even specially embroidered a qilin on her face.

Huan Yue praised, "Great! You made a dazzling appearance at the very end!"

Di Baose nodded; she didn't need to compete for first place. Those people were simply unreasonable and arguing illogically.

Meng Pingting asked the Empress, "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Huan Yue said, "Never mind. Just give me a cloak instead."

Huiqing brought her a cloak and helped her put it on.

Di Baose is dressed nicely, but it's probably a bit chilly. However, the sun is out now, so it's alright to be out in the sun.

Once you exit Xuanfu Gate, you can hear the noise outside Xuande Gate, which is even noisier than a vegetable market!

Worried, they retreated to the East Palace, while the bolder ones followed them out of the Zhaoxun Gate.

The area is already heavily guarded; even elite troops couldn't easily break through, let alone a thousand or two thousand women and children.

The city gates were also on high alert, and the threat of a barrage of arrows was no joke.

Those people weren't that bold, so they all practiced their singing outside.

Finally, several elderly women, pregnant women, and children came up crying.

Bingwei was ruthless and cold-blooded; he tied him up and took him away.

Another wave surged forward.

They were all tied up and taken away.

For a moment, it became quiet.

The guards stepped aside, and the eastern sun shone directly inside.

Huan Yue walked out of the imperial city and into the eyes of the people under the sunlight.

Yu Anu followed them out and saw that the crowds outside were absolutely massive! There must be at least ten thousand, if not a thousand!

Many onlookers stood at a distance, but this did increase the number of people.

It's rare to see a group of women daring to pressure someone into a position of power. Some people are afraid, busy, or have to come and see for themselves.

On the other side of these women, another group of women had gathered, and conflicts broke out between the two sides from time to time.

Women against women, this kind of conflict is far more common than one between women in the imperial city; it's like a drop in the bar.

Someone in the crowd shouted.

A few of the people blocking Xuande Gate ran out from the middle and charged at the Crown Princess.

Several women, crying and fierce, reached out to tear her apart.

Huan Yue stepped forward and kicked them one by one, sending them flying! They crashed into the crowd, missing the one who had given the order.

That was Zhu Shi. She dodged quickly and then shouted for help even more excitedly!

So the old ladies went to the Crown Princess in tears.

Huan Yue held a board in his hand, slapped himself repeatedly in the face, and then threw the board away.

Several old ladies instinctively turned around and saw that Zhu hadn't dodged this time and had been hit by a board and sent flying.

The elderly women were so frightened that they squatted down, covering their heads. If they were hit, they would be killed.

The cat came out with a plank, just a plank, but she had many.

Huan Yue picked up another piece and threw it at him.

One of the men hiding in the crowd quickly ran out.

This was a scholar, quick-witted enough to arrive at Xuande Gate before reaching Duanmen, and was about to speak to the Crown Princess.

Huan Yue delivered a fatal kick!

The cat shouted at the top of her lungs, "Oh, these scholars have quite the sense of shame! Men and women together, no wonder Zhu Yan raped them! Were you all forced into this? Don't worry, Your Majesty is here! Who else was forced into this, and whose child is Old Wang's? Today Your Majesty will stand up for you! Although this is something the government should handle, isn't this just scholars refusing to submit to the government's authority?"

Several women rushed over, shouting, "Greetings, Lady Huan!"

Huan Yue laughed and said, "Stay over there and be careful."

One woman couldn't hold back any longer: "These people are reading heretical books! Their minds are full of thieves and prostitutes! How dare they be so disrespectful to Lady Huan! Besides, who doesn't know what's going on? And some of them are pretending not to know, but some things can't be ignored!"

Huan Yue nodded.

Even more people knelt down: "Greetings, Lady Huan!"

Huan Yue replied, "No need for formalities. It's so cold. If you have something to say, go home early. It's not easy to watch the excitement."

The news spread to the back, causing a burst of laughter.

Huan Yue had no choice but to say again, "I know people are panicking because these people who read the classics are doing evil deeds. I came out to let everyone know that everything is alright! Those who should study should study, those who should do business should do business, those who should farm should farm, and those who should raise children should raise children. The great prosperity of our Zhao Dynasty is yet to come!"

Everyone shouted together, "Long live the Emperor!"

The ladies standing next to Consort Huan thought she was extremely beautiful!

Do you think the Empress can come out? Even the Emperor didn't care, so why would the common people?

Besides, our empress has done quite a few bizarre things.

A lady asked, "Your Highness, what kind of tree should a scholar plant?"

Huan Yue said, "The Huang Yang family has produced pillars of the nation for generations, and the Huang Yang family embodies the virtues of a gentleman. Although the Three Scholar Trees have produced three high-ranking officials, I admire the integrity of scholars even more."

The young lady was quite lively: "Boxwood is better. Each person who passes the imperial examination should plant one, as a gentleman's agreement."

Huan Yue blinked: "This is not something we can decide."

The old ladies finally came to their senses and started crying in front of Consort Huan.

The eunuchs brought chairs for the Empress to sit on, and also brought some small stools.

Several elderly women stared longingly at the chair.

The ladies had already expressed their gratitude and were sitting on small stools.

One of them, a man in his fifties, said to the old woman, "You dare to dream of the Empress's position? It's already merciful that you weren't made to kneel and answer her!"

A few more daring individuals approached.

Not just anyone can come here; they all have some status, and if they dare to cause trouble, their whole family could be implicated.

These people had the confidence to keep their distance from the Empress, even though they were men.

There were palace maids on the left and right holding some fans, but no screens were used.

The Empress's safety is well guaranteed, and she has a certain air of authority. It's definitely not a makeshift operation.

A young man said to the old woman, "Your maids have to kneel down to speak."

Huh? Nobody knows?

The young man gossiped with everyone: "This old lady always dreams that she is the Holy Mother descended to earth. Her family may not be good at anything else, but the servants have an endless array of rules. You have to call her 'Master' even when you're talking to her."

Huan Yue understood: "As people get older, their minds don't stay as sharp."

The others shook their heads.

The old woman cried, "My son started school at the age of three."

Huan Yue asked, "Are you the Holy Mother?"

The old lady acquiesced.

Huan Yue said, "We can't reach an agreement. You either go back or go to jail."

The old woman cried, "My son..."

Huan Yue said, "That's all because of you, so I was beating you on behalf of your son's ancestors. A virtuous wife is essential for a family to prosper for three generations."

Everyone suddenly realized, so that's what "beating the old lady" meant!
