Chapter 473 My Brother's Empress
Lu Qingqing finished eating quickly.
Ji Ruyan couldn't wait to pull her into the inner room.
On the large dragon bed, there was an extremely luxurious phoenix coronet and wedding gown.
"this……"
"This is the Empress's crown and robes. Although you cannot appear with me at the ceremony, you are my Empress. Today, put them on and drink the nuptial wine with me one last time, okay?"
"good."
Lu Qingqing was speechless.
She let the man help her take off her eunuch clothes, and then carefully and meticulously put on her gorgeous gold-threaded red phoenix robe.
Wearing a heavy dragon and phoenix crown adorned with kingfisher feathers and pearls.
She twirled around in this outfit, and when she looked at Ji Ruyan's attire again, the slight discomfort she felt completely disappeared.
Hey, is it all because of her outfit? When did she become so insecure?
However, wearing this outfit suddenly made me feel a heavy responsibility on my shoulders.
Empress, Mother of the Nation, she has to bear half the burden of the people of this world!
Something doesn't feel right. When did she ever say she wanted to be empress?
Is it too late to run now?
Ji Ruyan was overjoyed and led her to the outer room.
"Come in," he called out.
Then, looking at Lu Qingqing, he smiled and said, "Please sit for a little longer, my Empress."
"Hurry up, I want to sleep."
"Okay, did you hear that?" He turned his head slightly and said to the person who came in.
The painter nodded in fear, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Quickly sit down, lay out the paper, arrange the paints, and begin drawing.
About half an hour later, we finally no longer needed real people as models.
The artist left.
Ji Ruyan was very happy and picked up Lu Qingqing, then went into the inner room behind layers of curtains.
They drank the auspicious wine, undressed, and took a bath together in the clean pool.
They kissed all the way down onto the dragon bed.
The sky was dark and gloomy.
The stars are shining brightly.
...
He peeled off the artificial skin from his face and wrapped it around the now-faded scar that Qingqing was kissing.
Return the kisses with even more, like savoring a delicious meal.
"Qingqing, I have something to tell you, but don't take it too seriously."
"you say."
"I might need a larger dose of that chastity-preserving drug."
"Oh? You're that good?"
"..."
No, no, no... don't come anymore... I know you're something else!
The next day, the emperor held court, while Lu Qingqing slept.
In the afternoon, while the imperial study held a meeting, Lu Qingqing disguised herself as a little eunuch and strolled around the palace.
The grand chorus of "Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry" continued into the evening.
"Qingqing, can you stay until after the Qixi Festival?"
"good."
“I built a separate courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing and dug an underground passage connecting it to this palace. You can come directly from the separate courtyard in the future.”
"Very good."
Attending court to discuss matters.
Sleep, eat and shop.
Auspicious dragon and phoenix.
Lu Qingqing toured the entire palace and dealt with a group of people who no longer needed to stay there.
Qingyao's palace was deserted, so she selected some more people to go there and had lilac trees planted in the courtyard.
There's still no news from Mo Lang, and the little girl has disappeared somewhere. Hopefully, she'll see the announcement of the bestowal of titles and come back quickly, as she is now the only legitimate princess of Da Gan.
She also discovered a special little boy.
She looks very cute, but she doesn't talk.
He looked at Lu Qingqing with his lips tightly pursed, and even the little eunuch beside Lu Qingqing didn't know who he was.
Even the people serving the boy didn't know his identity.
How strange.
"If you don't speak, I'll have someone send you out of the palace. There are no suspicious people allowed in the palace," Lu Qingqing deliberately threatened him.
The child's face tightened even more; he must have been terrified and about to cry.
But she held back and remained silent.
Lu Qingqing couldn't bear to tease her anymore.
"Alright, I won't scare you anymore. Come on, I'll take you to the Funing Palace."
Upon hearing the name Fu Ning Palace, the boy's eyes lit up for a moment, but he quickly composed himself.
Lu Qingqing lifted her foot and walked away. After walking for a while, she heard Chuan Bai say, "Your Majesty, he has caught up."
The little thing is quite awkward.
...
The Imperial Study.
Another busy and stressful day.
The frontier cannot be without generals. After being appointed, Gu Chengye rushed back to the northern border and Gu Chengzhou went to Wanshui.
Mu Daye immediately escorted Liu Hao's coffin back to his hometown and took the opportunity to investigate the problem of the years of floods.
At the very end, Ji Ruyan left the prime minister behind.
The prime minister was imprisoned by the Prince of Qing'an because he had sided with Ji Canglin.
Ji Ruyan released him again.
This guy also comes from a prestigious family, but in recent years the Shen family has been severely suppressed by the Shangguan family and has gradually fallen into decline. So he is in a hurry to send his daughter into the palace, hoping to restore the family's glory.
Unexpectedly, they ended up losing a legitimate daughter for nothing.
Prime Minister Shen was extremely cautious, not daring to offend the new emperor in the slightest.
"Prime Minister Shen, you've driven your daughter out of the house?"
"Your Majesty, I...I only..."
"Alright, stop making excuses. Your daughter is really unlucky to have a father like you."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Prime Minister Shen was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will bring your daughter back immediately."
They can't be brought back.
Shen Jingshu has disappeared.
He suspected that she was with Qingyao.
Two frail women, having shaken off the guards, have disappeared and are nowhere to be found. The entire capital has been searched!
"Prime Minister Shen, I am not demoting you because you are still useful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life. I will serve Your Majesty with utmost loyalty and devotion from now on!"
"Today in court, the Lu family led the way in urging me to establish an empress and select concubines. Did you hear that? I'm telling you to shut them up. It won't take long, two years will be enough."
Two years?
What about two years from now?
Does he still have any eligible girls in his family...? Think about it, go home and think it over carefully.
"Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to share your burdens."
...
Ji Ruyan strolled back to Funing Palace.
As soon as the palace doors closed, he hurriedly went inside without waiting for the eunuchs to speak.
I just heard Lu Qingqing speaking.
"This cherry honey pancake is delicious! The Emperor loves it! Would you like some?"
"I'll eat it!"
Ji Ruyan stepped in, bent down, and ate the cherry fried on the small fork with Lu Qingqing's hand.
He smiled, his eyes narrowed. "It really is delicious."
Qingqing had already pricked up her ears to listen for his return.
My heart is sweeter than the cherry pancake I'm eating!
Seeing Lu Qingqing staring blankly at him, Ji Ruyan picked up a small fork, picked out a piece, and held it to her lips.
Not opening your mouth?
"Want me to feed you with my mouth?"
"Cough, cough!"
Lu Qingqing coughed loudly to make him look behind her.
later……
A little creature stared at him with wide, surprised eyes...
"Return to dust?"
"Your Majesty..." Gui Chen shut his mouth.
The emperor brother said that no one should know who he is.
Ji Ruyan rubbed her forehead.
It turns out that the cherry pancake I just made wasn't for him.
“Guichen, this is your sister-in-law, your brother’s empress. You don’t need to hide your identity from her.”
Xiao Guichen opened his eyes wide again.
