"That's all I have to say today. My dear ministers, if you have anything to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
It was obvious that the emperor was very irritable and still angry.
Maybe he will punish an official in this hall the next moment.
Reporting those trivial matters to the emperor at this time would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
So, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and finally knelt down at the same time in tacit understanding.
"Your Majesty, your servants respectfully bid farewell to us. Long live the Emperor."
The officials spoke in loud voices and with pious attitudes, and even wished that the emperor would leave immediately.
Su Qiqi giggled:
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're such a loser. Are you scared just like that?]
[Our Tyrant King is very gentle, okay? He's just a good little puppy in front of the Imperial Concubine! ]
This little puppy... should also be a compliment, right?
"Withdraw from the court."
The emperor stood up, walked to Zhao Xu, and held Su Qiqi in his arms: "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."
While teasing Su Qiqi, he walked towards the back of the hall.
This look is completely different from just now.
"Hongye," Zhao Xu waved at her, "Stop kneeling and go back to Yongle Palace."
"Thanks for the tip."
Hongye stood up and followed Zhao Xu away.
Only the officials were left in the hall.
An old official with a gray beard patted his chest and sighed softly, "Oh, it's been a long time since I saw the emperor this angry. It's like he's been hit by firecrackers."
"Are you crazy? How dare you say that?" The old minister next to him quickly pulled him aside.
Another old minister came over and said, "Perhaps it's because the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, and the Emperor is feeling depressed, so he got angry."
Minister Zhang laughed and said, "The Imperial Concubine often clashes with the Empress Dowager, which displeases her. It's inevitable that the Emperor will be angry."
"How can you guys discuss the affairs of the harem casually?" Master Jin's attitude was cold, and his words were full of warnings.
He glanced at the senior officials and said, "The Emperor is angry because his officials have done something wrong. Besides, those who are being punished today are those who deserve it. Everyone, words can cause trouble, so please do your part with all your heart."
After saying that, he turned away.
Seeing this, several officials shut up and said no more.

Inside Changle Palace:
The seven-year-old boy sat at the desk. Although he held a pen in his hand, he looked around and hesitated, and could not write a few words for a long time.
He is the current third prince, Lu Hongxuan.
"uh-huh,"
Shen Mingyue deliberately cleared her throat and said with a smile, "You sit here, your soul has already flown away to the heavens, right? Look at those few words you wrote. Even Wangcai could have scratched them twice and they would have looked better than this."
Wangcai is an old dog that has been raised in the Su family for many years.
Lu Hongxuan turned around, muttered, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I just gave you a gift, can't you let me rest for a while?"
Hearing this, Shen Mingyue glanced at the Bodhi bracelet on her wrist.
The translucent beads make her look fair and beautiful.
Lu Hongxuan obtained this bead from Wanfo Temple.
I originally thought that the little guy would just play around when accompanying the Queen Mother to the Wanfo Temple, but I didn't expect that he was still thinking about her.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shen Mingyue's face.
Seeing this, Lu Hongxuan quickly struck while the iron was hot: "My gentle, kind and considerate mother, please let me rest for a while. I don't want to learn calligraphy..."
"Bribery is useless, and coquettishness is ineffective." Shen Mingyue took a firm attitude and refused directly.
Lu Hongxuan said seriously, "You're forcing me! I don't like reading and calligraphy. I like practicing martial arts!"
"All you know is fighting and killing. That's what a reckless man does. Now that you're the older brother, you have to set a good example. Otherwise, your sister will laugh at you when she grows up."
As Shen Mingyue spoke, she lowered her head and continued to work on the needle and thread in her hand.
This pair of tiger-head shoes has been roughly formed and will be ready for Su Qiqi to wear in a few days.
"Sister?" Lu Hongxuan looked at Shen Mingyue's belly with joy: "How did mother know it was a sister? What if it was a brother?"
“…”
This idiot, could it be that he thinks she is pregnant?
Shen Mingyue was furious, and said angrily, "I told you to study, but you chose to act like a pig. Now you don't even think before you speak! I have a skinny waist and thin arms. Do I look like someone who is pregnant?"
Lu Hongxuan was confused: "Then why does he have a younger sister? Did she fall from the sky?"
Shen Mingyue explained helplessly: "I adopted the daughter of General Zhenbei. From now on, she will be your biological sister."
"Oh~"
Lu Hongxuan suddenly realized and asked, "Does mother like that sister very much?"
"Of course." When talking about Su Qiqi, Shen Mingyue finally smiled again: "Qiqi is smart and clever, well-behaved and cute, and unique. She is also our little lucky star!"
"Then she will be my biological sister from now on. I will definitely practice martial arts well. If anyone dares to bully my sister, I will beat him to a pulp!"
Lu Hongxuan rubbed his hands together, looking both fierce and silly. The ink on his brush almost dripped onto his clothes.
Shen Mingyue reminded her, "Be serious and study hard, or you won't even know if your sister scolds you in the future."
Lu Hongxuan said proudly: "I am handsome, gentle and kind, graceful and dignified. My sister likes me so much that she can't wait to scold me!"
No scolding? Oh, that little guy is very eloquent, it’s just that others didn’t hear it.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy."
The emperor came in from outside holding Su Qiqi.
Lu Hongxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly dropped the brush in his hand and stood up to salute: "Your son greets the emperor."
Shen Mingyue also put down the needle and thread in her hand.
