As Su Changzhao refused to comply, Yu Jiuchen naturally returned empty-handed.
However, Meng Wei, a close confidant, saw him walk out of the palace gate with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
Yu Jiuchen turned his handsome face and said, "Don't you think our Ninth Thousand Years Old is very interesting?"
Meng Wei: “…”
The title of "Nine Thousand Years Old" was called by outsiders in private, indicating that Su Changzhao was a high-ranking official with enormous power that could cover the world with one hand.
At this moment, Yu Jiuchen not only called her "Nine Thousand Years Old", but also "our Nine Thousand Years Old". This intimacy did not seem like the relationship between a king and his subject. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were brothers with the best of feelings.
But because of the 'King Lying in the Arms' incident some time ago, Meng Wei couldn't help but start to believe those rumors.
His Majesty...could it be that he really has some romantic feelings for a eunuch?
Such thoughts quickly disappeared in Yu Jiuchen's next instructions.
"Have you found the person I asked you to look for some time ago?"
After Yu Jiuchen woke up, he secretly ordered him to find someone privately.
When he was poisoned that day, although Yu Jiuchen believed that he was saved by Su Changzhao, in his daze, he remembered clearly that it was a woman who detoxified him.
The other party left a deep impression on him.
He also believed that this woman must have been hidden by Su Changzhao.
If you ask Su Changzhao directly, she will definitely not tell you.
Listening to one's inner voice is one solution, but it also doesn't hinder him from looking for someone.
By taking two approaches at the same time, people can be found more quickly.
"...Not yet." Meng Wei shook his head slightly.
I thought Yu Jiuchen would blame him for his poor performance, but I didn't expect that.
"Well, don't worry, there's plenty of time to come."
·
It's another early morning court session.
Su Changzhao went on strike for many days, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being a migrant worker.
Today she finally came to the court meeting.
But what she didn't know was that the rumors between Yu Jiuchen and her were becoming more and more rampant.
So much so that everyone she met today looked at her strangely.
Perhaps it is because she and Yu Jiuchen are both the core of the country and hold great power.
Anything that happens to them, even the smallest thing, will be magnified infinitely.
It's normal to be noticed.
At this moment, after the court meeting, some court officials began to persuade Yu Jiuchen to pay attention to the harem and the issue of the royal heir.
To put it bluntly, it means that he should favor his concubines as soon as possible and expand the royal family at an early date.
Su Changzhao showed no emotion on the surface, but he was secretly happy inside.
[Look, look, what did I say? You don't want to be with women, there are people who are more anxious than you. ]
[Hahaha... Being an emperor is not easy. You have to listen to others about whether to have children or not. Tsk tsk, I guess I am worse off than a eunuch like me.]
Yu Jiuchen was unhappy after hearing Su Changzhao's thoughts. He originally wanted to agree with the court officials to start summoning people to sleep with him.
But when he heard Su Changzhao's inner ridicule.
How could a eunuch like her feel sorry for herself? And she even said that a healthy person like herself was not as good as a eunuch like her?
If he really compromised, where would his dignity as a king be?
"We will discuss this matter later." Yu Jiuchen said with a stern face.
Seeing this, the court officials didn't know what to say.
At this time, an official stepped out and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoys from Fenglai will arrive in Longdu soon."
After saying this, he presented a memorial in public.
Before Yu Jiuchen opened the memorial, he heard Su Changzhao's thoughts rising.
[According to the envoy from Fenglai Country, it seems that the next main plot is about to begin. 】
[Tang Fengjian, the first female lead of the Dog Emperor, is about to appear on the stage. ]
[Wow, so exciting~]
[She is the most popular female protagonist in the harem. She is smart and not clingy. She is beautiful and has status. ]
[The key point is that when the dog emperor unified the seven kingdoms in the future, she used the power of the whole country to help the dog emperor unify the country, and finally became the real first female protagonist, the only queen who could keep pace with the dog emperor. ]
After hearing the real voice, Yu Jiuchen calmly unfolded the memorial in his hand.
It states the purpose of the envoys from Fenglai Kingdom.
Are they really here to marry?
It can be seen that Su Changzhao’s words came true again this time.
Yu Jiuchen glanced at Su Changzhao, who was at the head of the ministers, inconspicuously, and pondered over the name she had just mentioned in his mind.
Tang Feng saw...?
·
The news that Fenglai Kingdom wanted to make peace with Yulong Kingdom quickly spread throughout Longdu.
Now the people in the whole city are talking about the princess who came from afar to marry into the royal family.
Now that the emperor has been slow to visit the concubines, and a princess has suddenly arrived to marry a foreign princess, the concubines in the harem, who are vying for beauty and crying out for favors, can't sit still any longer.
The first among them is naturally Concubine Lan.
She was usually arrogant and domineering, but she was always able to escape danger, which made her even more spoiled.
I heard that a princess will be coming to marry soon. Given her status and position, things will definitely change once she enters the harem. While there is still time, Dulaner must seize the opportunity now.
However, there are many people who share the same idea as her.
When she came to the outside of the imperial study with her maid Xiao E, the place was already blocked by a sea of gorgeous clothes.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
All of them were waving the silk handkerchiefs in their hands and shouting sweetly.
"Your Majesty! I made this soup myself and brought it to you specially."
"Your Majesty! I painted a painting yesterday and I want Your Majesty to appreciate it!"
"Your Majesty! I have been practicing this dance for several days and I am here to present it to Your Majesty!"
Du Laner, who arrived late, said: "..."
Xiao'e beside him: "Master, we..."
Du Laner glanced at the copybook of scriptures in her hand. During this period of time, she did not go out of the house and stayed in the room copying scriptures.
Compared to those flattering things of vulgar women, the scriptures she copied will definitely attract His Majesty's attention.
"Let's go. I don't believe it anymore."
But when she took Xiao E over, the door of the imperial study suddenly opened!
Then a man with a jade veil hat, black python robe and graceful demeanor walked out.
If it’s not Su Changzhao, who else could it be?
Seeing the Nine Thousand Year Old Man who was said to be able to cover the sky with one hand, the women outside all quieted down at the same time, including Du Laner.
All the concubines shouted "Live your majesty!"
Su Changzhao stood on the jade steps, looked down at them, and nodded slowly: "Well, the ladies should be tired, right?"
After these words were spoken, all the concubines lowered their heads in silence.
Who dares to speak now? Unless you want to die.
"I have important state affairs to discuss with His Majesty. I hope that all the ladies will be well behaved and sensible and not linger here."
As soon as Su Changzhao finished speaking, Li Xing beside him took the lead in drawing his sword, and the guards around him saw this and also showed their weapons.
A timid concubine immediately said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty is right. I remember that I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first." She led her personal maids and ran away.
"I...I too, I will take my leave as well."
"Excuse me, excuse me."
Soon everyone left.
This also includes Duraner.
Du Lan'er had just experienced Su Changzhao's skills last time, and she is still immersed in the shadow and unable to get out.
Even though he had a lot of resentment towards Su Changzhao, now was not the time to deal with her.
Looking at the beauties who had already walked away, Su Changzhao sighed in his heart.
[I knew it was no good.]
After court today, Yu Jiuchen said that he had important matters to discuss and asked her to come to the imperial study to discuss it.
But after arriving, Yu Jiuchen didn't say anything meaningful, and she immediately felt that something was fishy.
Sure enough, soon there was noise outside the door.
[Alas, what else can I do? I eat your salary and worry about your worries. ]
Feeling a little uneasy, Su Changzhao turned around and went back.
But just entered the door.
