After a thorough search, she finally stopped outside the main hall.
The morning court session was almost over, but Emperor Shengkang still kept all the officials in the hall.
When Eunuch Fu returned and learned that Chi Yu was outside the palace, an unusual glint flashed in his eyes.
As the announcement of "Princess Xuanle'an is here to pay her respects" rang out, Chi Yu didn't even step forward.
Standing outside the hall, she could clearly see what was happening inside.
With all the civil and military officials still around, she only wanted to let Emperor Shengkang know in private that she still possessed "divine power."
If you go in now, you'll have to pay your respects.
The problem is that she still has the persona of an "immortal," so even if the other party is an emperor in the human world, he is not worthy of her bowing down, let alone kneeling!
Emperor Shengkang sat high in the main hall, and with the hall doors wide open, he could naturally see the fish in the pond.
Seeing that she remained unmoved, his previously excellent mood vanished instantly.
Even his expression darkened.
As a confidant of Emperor Shengkang, Eunuch Fu was somewhat aware of the special circumstances surrounding the fish in the pond.
Although I don't know everything, I can guess a thing or two.
Seeing that she didn't move, he had no choice but to come over in person again to ask for help.
"Princess Le'an, please follow me into the palace!"
The fish in the pond remained still, but turned its head and whispered to Eunuch Fu:
"Eunuch Fu, I have something to say to the Emperor. Could you ask him if we can meet in private?"
Eunuch Fu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and went back into the hall.
Because of the bright light in the Golden Palace, she could naturally see Emperor Shengkang's displeased expression.
After Eunuch Fu whispered something to him, his expression darkened even more.
This time, there was no need for anyone to relay the message; Emperor Shengkang exuded imperial aura and then loudly proclaimed:
"Le'an, if you have anything to say, just come in and say it!"
Chi Yu watched as the civil and military officials waited in the palace, while Emperor Shengkang's expression grew increasingly grim. In the end, he still went in.
She carefully observed the situation inside the hall.
Besides Emperor Shengkang sitting at the head of the table, civil and military officials stood on both sides of the lower part of the hall, just like in the TV series.
Of course, those standing inside the hall were all high-ranking officials.
There are some outside the hall, but their ranks are slightly lower, generally fourth-rank officials.
After all, only officials of the fourth rank had the opportunity to attend court!
Chi Yu did not kneel down. In full view of everyone, she stood in the middle, looking directly at Emperor Sheng Kang.
Emperor Shengkang, in his forties, sat on the dragon throne. Seeing Chi Yu enter, his displeasure eased somewhat.
Seeing that she made no move, he immediately frowned again.
The reason he summoned Chi Yu was not only to see the immortal, but also because he had some secret intentions.
She, surnamed Chi, was once an immortal, but is now a mortal.
Upon seeing the emperor, one must kneel!
He felt that his life was about to reach its peak because he could make even immortals kneel down.
But after the fish entered the hall, it just stood there.
He was even more displeased when the man neither knelt nor bowed.
He felt that she had repeatedly humiliated him in front of all the civil and military officials.
In Chi's eyes, he was not a human emperor.
They've become ordinary people, yet they still put on airs. Aren't they afraid of being punished?
Few of the court officials standing in the hall were fools; they all knew who Princess Le'an was.
It is unclear why the Emperor summoned her to court during the morning court session.
But the fact that she could stand there like that, without saying a word, neither humble nor arrogant, means she must have some extraordinary qualities.
The emperor's expression changed repeatedly, and only when he showed signs of anger did someone step forward.
"Princess Le'an, why did you not kneel before the Emperor when you entered the palace?"
The fish in the pond took no more than ten seconds from entering the hall to standing still.
