The next day, in the imperial court, all the ministers were shocked to learn that their emperor had actually led a personal expedition, leaving behind someone who said, "I don't know, don't ask me," who was actually there to oversee the country.
Isn't this emperor being far too willful?
"Your Highness, why don't you try to persuade the Emperor?"
"Yes, Your Highness, why didn't you try to persuade us? What are we going to do now?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Alas, the Emperor is too willful."
"Yes, that won't do!"
The ministers chatted amongst themselves, one after another. Li Qishang sat on the high platform with a sullen expression, in a chair that had been brought to him. He looked down at the ministers like an old man selling vegetables at a market.
That attitude was exactly the same as saying, "If you're not going to buy, then shut up."
At this moment, Li Qishang felt like a million alpacas were galloping through his mind, unsure whether he should let them run wild!
Hua Quan glanced at the prince, who was sitting upright to the side, casually playing with a folding fan. He was absolutely furious. The emperor had left the palace without taking him with him. His life was so miserable.
"Ministers, although our Emperor is not in the palace, our Prince is also very capable. If any of you ministers have any matters to attend to, you may consult our Prince."
"If all else fails, submitting a memorial to the throne is also acceptable." Hua Quan looked at the ministers below, who were now arguing like a marketplace.
Li Qishang watched the ministers below with great interest. They were arguing fiercely! Why did they stop?
"Continue? I think it's excellent!"
"My ministers, so this is what court sessions are like every day! It's completely shattering my worldview!" Li Qishang fiddled with his folding fan, looking at the ministers below, who all lowered their heads in shame.
"So attending court is so much fun! Does that mean I'll be able to see all the ministers arguing endlessly over the smallest things from now on?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really beautiful, beautiful!" Li Qishang said with a mocking expression.
The ministers below lowered their heads, then lowered them even further, wishing they could disappear into the ground, because they didn't want to hear Li Qishang's words! It was simply too heartbreaking.
The palace was in turmoil, while Guan Zhiyue was inwardly agitated.
Guan Zhiyue and her group stopped to rest in a place called Chenghong County yesterday afternoon, and Li Qiji and his companion arrived in Chenghong County on horseback that evening.
It was quite early in the morning when Guan Zhiyue came down from the inn and saw Li Qiji sitting imposingly in the lobby.
Guan Zhiyue rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was still half asleep and hallucinating. How could the Emperor be here?
"Ah, Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived!" Bilian exclaimed.
Guan Zhiyue finally dared to believe that what she had just seen was the Emperor, and not anyone else. This, this, this.
Why are you here?
At this moment, Li Qiji was dressed as a handsome young gentleman, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very refined.
"Of course it's for you, Yue'er! Aren't you touched? Don't you think I, oh no, your husband, am very considerate?"
Guan Zhiyue plopped down opposite Li Qiji, picked up a steamed dumpling from the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and then slowly said, "I dare to move, but I'm not moved!"
"Ah, why? Is it not enough for your heart that I traveled a thousand miles to win you over?" Li Qiji said this with great emotion.
Guan Chengzhuo, sitting at the next table, burped loudly and without any politeness.
"I feel like I'm going to throw up my dinner from last night. What kind of monster are you?" Guan Zhiyue pretended to vomit and looked at Li Qiji.
This is absolutely outrageous! How could it be so outrageous?
I haven't seen this guy for just one day, how come he's changed so much? He's probably been possessed by some demon or monster!
"Your Majesty, can you please be normal? I can't handle this kind of crazy behavior from you!" Guan Zhiyue picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself a large bowl of water, and gulped it down.
It's absolutely terrifying; the emperor today is like he's on drugs.
Li Qiji simply couldn't believe it! Didn't the book say that he should express his love for her every day? He should express his love for her every day.
Su Xu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Guan Chengzhuo sitting opposite him, then asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there perhaps something wrong here?"
As he spoke, he pointed to his temple to indicate that he was referring to that spot.
Guan Chengzhuo calmly remarked, "It's as obvious as a louse on a bald boy's head!"
Su Xu, upon hearing Guan Chengzhuo's reply, couldn't help but burst out laughing, finding the description utterly accurate.
Guan Zhiyue looked at the two people sitting on the side and sized them up. This was practically a feast for handsome men.
Needless to say, my eldest brother is the kind of tough, masculine man with sharp edges and a particularly domineering personality.
Needless to say, Su Xu is the gentle and quiet type, a good boy, but actually he's full of bad intentions! The term "refined scoundrel" is probably used to describe men like Su Xu.
As for Li Qiji? He's definitely above the other two. He's completely lost his aloof persona and started whining from who knows where.
She's a total whiny little thing, and an incredibly clingy one at that!
"Alright, now that we've eaten, let's continue our journey. Let's not linger on the road for too long," Guan Chengzhuo said, standing up and looking at the group in the hall.
Guan Zhiyue wholeheartedly agreed, especially now that the Emperor had arrived, she had no desire to play anymore. That scoundrel of a man followed her everywhere, like a piece of chewing gum.
"Wife, I want to ride in the carriage with you!!" Li Qiji followed Guan Zhiyue and climbed onto the carriage.
Guan Zhiyue was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Where's your royal dignity? Have you no shame!"
"What dignity? I don't know! I'm just a slightly wealthy man."
"I am your husband now, and you are my wife. We're just here to enjoy the scenery. I don't know anything else!" Li Qiji took his shamelessness to the extreme. He was utterly shameless.
Guan Zhiyue: "..." You're the boss, you're awesome! You're right about everything!
"Your Majesty, don't you think it's stuffy with one more person in this carriage?" Guan Zhiyue looked at the man sitting upright in the carriage with a look of disgust.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiji said, "Bilian, haven't you understood what your mother said?"
"Her Majesty said that the carriage is stuffy and hot with so many people. How can you be so inconsiderate? Hurry up and get out of the carriage!"
Bilian, "Your Majesty, the Empress is clearly..."
"Um?"
"Yes, this servant will go out right away!" Bilian finally succumbed to Li Qiji's tyrannical power.
Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qiji and said, "Your Majesty, Bilian and I are the only women on this journey. What are you sending her out to do?"
"My lady, please call me husband!"
Guan Zhiyue: "......" I'll call you an idiot.
