Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

Xue Yao also came to his senses. It turned out that he and Jing Yi fell asleep unknowingly while playing chess.Turning around, he told Huzi to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup.

Huzi responded and was about to go out. When he reached the door, he turned back, "Brother, I didn't come here to do this."

Xue Yaoxin said, this kid has become smarter, and he can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb by changing the topic.He could only respond, "Brother Huzi, I really didn't mean to hit you, don't take it to heart, brother is here to accompany you, okay?"

Huzi shook his head, "I'm not here to talk about this."

"Then what are you here for?"

"I'm here to tell you that something happened earlier."

Because of lack of sleep, Jing Yi has been pressing his forehead there, and now hearing what Huzi said, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"A group of ministers knelt outside the Chongzheng Hall, begging the emperor to punish Mr. Zhang."

Xue Yao and Jing Yi looked at each other, and as expected, their hearts sank again.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Huzi scratched his head and asked, "Aren't you surprised? Are you not surprised? Why is there no reaction at all?"

Xue Yao sighed, "As expected, it will happen sooner or later."

"Let's go and have a look." Jing Yi was about to get up after speaking, but Xue Yao pressed his shoulders, so he looked up at Xue Yao in puzzlement.

Xue Yao looked at Jing Yi's pale face, "His Royal Highness, you can rest first, I can go with Hu Zi. Don't worry, we are just going to check the situation."

Jing Yi didn't know what to think of, and smiled mischievously, "Without me, can you successfully enter the Chongzheng Hall?"

Xue Yao's hands snapped, this is really a problem, they are only inner palace guards, they don't have waist badges, it's okay to enter the palace gate, but the Chongzheng Palace is a place for court meetings, and they are not allowed to enter unless they are ordered.The two little guards couldn't get in even if they squeezed their heads.

Huzi looked at the two anxiously, and said impatiently, "Then let's go."

When I got out of the room, I realized that the sky was gloomy. I don’t know when, there was a drizzle. The rain in the south of the Yangtze River, even in summer, is lingering and soft. He was already weak, and Xue Yao was afraid that he would catch a cold.Then someone brought the cloak over and put it on Jing Yi carefully.

Seeing his gentle expression, Hu Zi laughed, "Brother, I found out that you are becoming more and more like His Highness's old mother." After speaking, he was afraid that Xue Yao would hit him, so he ran away with an umbrella.

Xue Yao was left with a dark face, nowhere to attack.Seeing Jing Yi's face full of smiles, he had no choice but to pick up the oil-paper umbrella by the door, spread it open and cover Jing Yi's head, "Let's go, Your Highness."

Pass through the gates of the palace and come to a long corridor. This bluestone road is the only way for the inner palace to enter the Chongzheng Hall.The high palace walls on both sides are about two feet high, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.At the end of the corridor, a golden door was opened, and four guards with knives stood upright at the door, very majestic.Seeing Jing Yi approaching, he bowed slightly.

Jing Yi asked, "You two have worked hard, if you dare to ask the emperor, you can stay in the palace."

One of them responded, "The emperor is in court, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to meet His Highness."

"It's okay," Jing Yi smiled, "I heard that the queen mother is here, and the sky is cloudy and rainy. I'm here to deliver an umbrella, so I won't enter the palace." The two guards hesitated for a moment, and the prince was filial, so it was hard to refuse.Immediately retreated, "Your Highness, please."

"Thank you," Jing Yi nodded, and stepped across the threshold.

The last time Xue Yao was led by Zhang Jin directly into the Chongzheng Hall from outside the palace, this was the first time he walked this road, and when he looked back at the way he came from, some inexplicable emotions arose in his heart. The place where the emperor dragon must pass.

In front of the Chongzheng Hall, a group of people were kneeling on a wide palace road.The three of Xue Yao stood at the base of the wall and did not approach. If they moved forward, they might be discovered by others, so it was better to watch quietly first.

Xue Yao looked intently, and the two leaders kneeling in the row were both important ministers of the prince's party in the court, and one was the elder brother of the current empress, Grand Master Xue Xiao.The other one is the crown prince Taifu Fanglin, who was the number one scholar in literature ten years ago. He has a superb literary talent and has a high influence among scholars.The empress had asked him to help the prince with his career as early as when he entered the official position.

The dozen or so ministers who followed the two were all well-known names in the court.Xue Yao took a closer look, and found that almost all of them belonged to the prince's party.

Among them, there is no prince, no king of peace.Thinking about it, King Ping'an has always regarded himself as an idle prince, so it is reasonable for him not to go through this muddy water.

The rumored Empress Xue is indeed quite powerful, and she hasn't shown up yet. The weight of these important ministers alone can put Mrs. Zhang in death row and never stand up again.

It was raining heavily at this time, and the backs of these officials were all straight. If Xue Yao didn't know what their trip was about, they would really have thought it was a touching picture of civil servants' remonstrance.

Not long after, a person walked out from the side hall of the Chongzheng Palace, dressed in vermilion palace attire, with a long skirt that dragged the floor as she walked slowly, like the fiery red tail of a phoenix.Even with such a distance, it feels like a fierce aura is coming.

Behind her was only a court lady, holding an umbrella. The two masters and servants came down from the Chongzheng Highness, and passed the kneeling ministers without looking back. They walked step by step with incomparable calmness. Empress Xue, the mother of the crown prince, has been at the head of the harem for 20 years.

This Empress Xue was about the same age as Concubine Chen at this time, but her temperament was quite different from Concubine Chen. If Concubine Chen was gentle, then Empress Xue would be considered graceful.Even in the rain, there was never a single bit of chaos, calm atmosphere, really has the demeanor of the mother of a country.

Xue Yao had also seen this queen from afar in his previous life. At that time, she was sitting in a high position, and he didn't have much impression. When he saw her now, he was a little scared by her aura.Seeing her coming this way, he pulled Jing Yi and Hu Zi as close to the wall as possible.One is that she doesn't want the queen to see Jing Yi, causing dissatisfaction in her heart, and the other is to let the queen find out that these people are not good at this time. In the situation where the enemy is outnumbered, it is better to hide yourself play.

Huzi couldn't help but tsk tsk twice, "This woman must be the queen, with such an awesome posture, the women in the entire harem combined are less than one-tenth of her, no wonder she has been the queen for so long. "People who practice martial arts have never lacked praise for powerful people.
