Upon hearing his words, a look of suspicion flashed across Ji Fengyao's eyes again: Little Darling?
Why is his nickname for her so similar to the nickname his master used for him?
However, when her master mentioned Demon Lord Jiu Yue to her, he clearly had no goodwill or familiarity with him, and her master would never associate with demons.
Is this a coincidence?
Seeing the young girl's puzzled expression and her blank stare, Shang Beiyu also called out softly, "Yaoyao?"
"Three Emperors..." The little bandit girl realized what was happening, and pretending to be still in shock, she whispered, "Nephew, is it really you?"
Shang Beiyu: "..."
There's a sense of disappointment and helplessness, like "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."
"Nephew, don't just stand there. Now that we've started this act, we need to make it look convincing, or we'll give ourselves away," the little bandit whispered, urging Shang Beiyu.
However, although she appeared to be very discreet, her voice was anything but discreet, leaving the officials nearby looking puzzled.
What kind of riddle is the new empress playing with the emperor?
What act has already begun? What do you mean by not giving yourself away later...? Could it be...?!
The officials looked at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Could it be that the Emperor's wedding to Princess Chonghe is just a sham, a prank to provoke Prince Jiu?
Holy crap! Has the Emperor become so incompetent?
Even a major ceremony like the investiture of the empress, which involves offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, can be used for amusement?
When the little bandit girl made such a fuss, Shang Beiyu felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and all his warmth turned into helplessness.
Oh well, they've only just begun; there'll be plenty of time for them to develop their relationship.
Shang Beiyu could only console himself with this thought, and still happily led the little bandit girl towards the throne, and directly led her to the side of the dragon throne.
The assembled civil and military officials below looked as if they were constipated.
No matter how powerful the empress was, she could only sit below the dragon throne;
Even on the wedding day, one must not ascend to the side of the dragon throne!
This is against the rules, Your Majesty!
Even the most upright officials, their faces turning ashen, dared only to remain silent and not dare to offer their advice.
Because the current emperor is not the former emperor, much less the ancestral emperors.
No matter how angry the late emperor and the ancestral emperors were, they would not execute officials who spoke out against wrongdoing;
But the current emperor beheads people at the slightest provocation, regardless of whether they are censors or military officers, high-ranking or low-ranking officials—he beheads them all!
Xiao Shunzi, burdened with a bellyful of etiquette and rules, dared not utter a single word, and forced himself to sing the vow:
"The coronation ceremony now begins, please put on the crown!"
A young eunuch carrying a tray walked out from the side passageway.
On the golden silk cloth on the tray lay a palm-sized crown, entirely made of black gold, adorned with floral hairpins.
The hairpin crown was adorned with graceful and lifelike flowers, so exquisite they seemed to dance in the wind, clearly an extraordinary object.
"A demonic artifact!" Mo Linxian couldn't help but be shocked, and whispered to the little bandit's soul, "Jiuyue's natal demonic artifact in this world!"
"What?!" The little bandit was also dumbfounded.
She never expected that Jiu Yue would use his natal magical artifact in this world as a crown to crown her!
Is he stupid?
He knew perfectly well that if she destroyed his natal magic weapon, he would be severely injured without a fight, or even die.
Mo Linxian, through the Extreme Fire and the little bandit's sea of consciousness, suddenly looked towards Shang Beiyu's direction outside:
Demon Lord Jiu Yue's feelings for Xiao Jiao Jiao might be deeper than he imagined, which is not a good thing!
