Chapter 23 Do you want my queen to be a man?
When Yuan Yuan woke up again, she was already being held by Emperor Beijing and sitting on the throne room. When she opened her eyes, she saw the golden dragon throne.
[Ahhh! Why did my scumbag dad carry me to court? ]
"No! He's sick! Why is he holding a baby like me? Is he deliberately trying to flatter me and my mother in front of the ministers?"
Emperor Beijing was looking at the officials below with a gloomy face when he suddenly heard Yuan Yuan's voice and his face became even darker.
How could he say that he was right every time because he could hear what the little guy was thinking.
That's why he brought this little guy to court. Maybe he's a good lightning rod.
Looking down, I saw that the little guy was awake.
He was looking at the ministers below with his eyes wide open.
The Imperial Censor knelt tremblingly on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena at night and said that a disaster star has descended upon the imperial court. If this star of disaster cannot be dealt with, the drought in the north will continue this year!"
Yuanyuan: [Severe drought? What's going on with Pupu?]
The fate book flew to the dragon table and landed on it, opening the book of destiny.
[Don't panic. The drought in the north won't last long. The destinies record indicates that heavy rain will fall in the north in seven days.]
[Huh, that's good, that's good. Hey, could the calamity star the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was talking about be Xiao Yuheng?]
[No, it's you, my little ancestor.]
[Me? How could it be me? I don't appear in the original destiny chart at all.]
[Because of this, the Book of Destiny corrected itself, so this time the disaster star has become you.]
Yuan Yuan: [...Ah! Doesn't that scumbag dad want to execute me again? Should I be happy or not?]
Yuanyuan's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.
It was as if she saw the roast chicken waving to her again.
The veins on Emperor Beijing's forehead throbbed violently, his face was gloomy, and he stared at the censor.
"Oh? Then who is this calamity star the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is talking about?"
The censor raised his head in fear, his eyes falling on the swaddling baby in Emperor Beijing's arms.
"Yes, yes, it is the Fifth Princess that Your Majesty is holding."
Yuanyuan smiled in his heart.
[The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is so bold! What if they execute me and it doesn't rain? Wouldn't that mean my death is unjust?]
【Fortunately, my little ancestor is not an ordinary person. 】
[No! Check the genealogy for me! I want to see if this Imperial Astronomical Observatory has any real power!]
It took a long time before the voice of the fortune teller rang out.
[Heh! The people at the Imperial Observatory are all charlatans! What's even more ridiculous is that they all thought the other party was the one who could truly see through the secrets of heaven, yet they haven't seen through each other in all these years!]
[This time, the claim that you are a disaster star was made by someone who deliberately bribed the Imperial Observatory to tell the Imperial Censor.]
Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan clenched her fists in anger. [Damn it! Who on earth is trying to harm Yuanyuan?]
[The Sima records have been updated! Wait a minute... Ah! I found out, it's actually the Empress imprisoned in the cold palace! She bribed the eunuch guarding the palace and told him to go to Feng Ying in the Imperial Observatory and tell him so, because this person was able to enter the Imperial Observatory because of the Empress's backdoor!]
[The Queen has been imprisoned in the cold palace, yet she still wants to kill Yuanyuan. This is too bad. But it doesn't make sense... Why would she want to kill Yuanyuan? Does Yuanyuan have a grudge against her?]
[Isn't it because she saw your mother holding you on the day she was caught cheating? That's why she wanted to kill you to make your mother heartbroken!]
"That's not right. Wouldn't that harm Xiao Yuheng? She's still my mother's daughter, isn't she?"
[Who lets her be the destined heroine, with the aura of the protagonist? ]
【……】
Yuan Yuan was so angry! She punched Emperor Beijing's chest hard with her fist.
[Beat your scumbag dad to death! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!]
Emperor Beijing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Could this be blamed on him?
But... Queen... Ha! I spared your life, but I didn't expect you to cause so many troubles behind the scenes?
It seems that I am too soft-hearted!
Thinking of what the little thing said, that the people kept in the Imperial Observatory were all a bunch of trash, Emperor Beijing laughed out loud in anger.
"Really? Eunuch Hai, go get everyone from the Imperial Observatory!"
Eunuch Hai nodded quickly and ran out.
The censors and ministers dared not even breathe a word.
Everyone knows that the Fifth Princess was brought back from outside the palace by Your Majesty, and that you are very fond of her now. You come up to her and say that she is a disaster. Isn't this bringing bad luck to Your Majesty?
The censor also has his own grievances. Am I not doing this for Dajing?
Do you think I am willing to say it?
What if it really is a disaster? Wouldn’t our Dajing be finished?
After a while, Eunuch Hai called all the people from the Imperial Observatory over.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
There are a total of six people in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, each in charge of a different area. Some are responsible for observing the stars, some are responsible for calculating the fate of the dynasty, and others are responsible for praying for rain and worshiping ancestors, etc.
But now these six are basically fools.
Emperor Beijing raised his hand, "Everyone, get up!"
When the Imperial Astronomical Observatory stood up and saw the baby in Emperor Beijing's arms, they were all slightly startled.
Why is His Majesty holding a baby in his arms when he comes to court?
One of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory suddenly stepped forward, a gloomy look in his eyes, and he said, "Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and found that a disaster star has descended upon our Dajing Dynasty. I beg Your Majesty to deal with the disaster star as soon as possible. Otherwise, our Dajing Dynasty will surely be destroyed!"
Destruction of the country?
Emperor Beijing's eyebrows twitched. The little guy had said before that he would destroy the country.
So when did the country fall? And why did it fall?
[Wow wow wow wow wow! How dare this person say that? A country will be destroyed because of a little kid? I won't take the blame for such a big thing! It's obviously because of five years later... A-choo!]
[Wuwuwu… It’s all my jerk dad’s fault. He carried me out to court when I was so young. Look how I caught a cold!]
Emperor Beijing is so anxious!
What happened five years later?
You better tell me quickly!
Feng Ying saw that Emperor Beijing had a gloomy face and was silent. He must be angry about the disaster star.
He curled his lips slightly, adding fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty! The star of disaster is the Fifth Princess in your arms! Ever since she entered the palace, something happened to the Queen, and then the next day Minister Xu..."
Before he could finish, Emperor Beijing chuckled and stared at him with sinister eyes.
"Feng Ying, I heard that when the youngest daughter of Jiangnan's richest man was born, clouds of rainbows descended from the sky and hundreds of birds sang. How about you help me calculate whether she is a lucky star sent from heaven?"
Feng Ying was stunned, not understanding why His Majesty suddenly asked such a question?
But he had been the Imperial Observatory for five years after all, so he was able to act like one, wasn't he?
He closed his eyes and pinched his fingers frantically. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Beijing in surprise.
"Your Majesty! What a great joy! The daughter of Jiangnan's richest man is destined to be a phoenix! A lucky star has descended from heaven! She has come to bless our Dajing!"
Feng Ying knelt on the ground excitedly and spoke in an inspiring manner.
Humph! The richest man in Jiangnan? He said so, His Majesty will definitely marry his daughter into the palace, so this rich man must repay him well, right?
After all, whether it's a lucky star or not, wasn't it just something he said casually?
When his daughter enters the palace, if he doesn't obey, he will talk nonsense again and make sure that his lucky star turns into a disaster star.
Emperor Beijing's face turned completely gloomy.
He slammed the dragon table. "Feng Ying, you dare to tease me? When did the richest man in Jiangnan have a daughter? It's clearly a son! Rainbow clouds from the sky? Birds singing? Oh! It was raining that day, crows flying everywhere! Everyone in Jiangnan knew about it, and you didn't know?"
"Born to be a phoenix? What? Are you planning to make my queen a man?"
