After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The Jade Palace was filled with burning candles, and the lights were bright as day.

Wu Shilu waved his whisk, and all the palace maids lined up and filed in. Although they were confused, they still followed the instructions and went in one by one to kowtow and greet the emperor.

The team did not move forward very fast. Every palace servant serving in the palace, no matter how big or small their position was, was allowed to see the emperor tonight.

After spending more than half an hour, seeing that Emperor Zhaoyuan slightly closed his eyes and looked somewhat bored, Wu Shilu waved his hand again and ordered everyone in the hall to leave one by one, thus ending this sudden audience.

Hovering over the memories of the two lives, Emperor Zhao Yuan recognized a few faces in the crowd who were still serving him before his rebirth.

He sat quietly for a long time before asking calmly, "Where is Xinyuan Hou?"

Wu Shilu hurriedly came up to reply: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen is staying at the Xinyuan Marquis's residence today. Should we inform him?"

The emperor's behavior is a little strange tonight, but as his servants, we just have to obey his orders.

It was already past four o'clock in the morning, but a carriage with golden wheels and red canopy drove out from the inner court, passed through the strict palace restrictions, drove out of the imperial city, and stopped in front of the majestic vermilion gate of Xinyuan Marquis' Mansion.

The gatekeepers on night watch at the Marquis's mansion were all perceptive and came out with lanterns to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he saw a eunuch wearing a scarlet straight dragon robe with gold edges getting out of the carriage. He knew something big was going to happen, so he hurriedly reported it to the steward.

In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Chongyan was seen wearing a cloak and hurried over. When he saw that the person was Wu Shilu, he hurriedly asked about the emperor's health and said, "Thank you for leaving the palace in the middle of the night. I wonder what instructions the palace has for you?"

Wu Shilu looked at Xinyuan Hou, who was only wearing a straight shirt, with some sympathy, still showing his signature smile, and waved his whisk:

"You are too polite, Lord Shen. Since you are here, I won't wait any longer. Please get in the car. We will go back to the palace to meet you!"

Shen Chongyan didn't expect that Wu Shilu would come to take him to the palace. He said in embarrassment, "General Manager, how can I, Shen, be in such a disheveled state before the Emperor?"

Wu Shilu thought, it's already this late, is it too late for you to wash and dress up? He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty has summoned me, as long as you are here with your heart, it's fine. As for the clothes, I'm sure the emperor won't blame you."

At this point, Shen Chongyan had no choice but to plead guilty and followed Wu Shilu into the carriage to the palace.

There was no conversation along the way until he was led into the front room of the western warm pavilion of the Yuchen Palace. Wu Shilu straightened his clothes and said respectfully outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Marquis Xinyuan has arrived."

After he finished speaking, he personally opened the partition door. As soon as he entered, Shen Chongyan lowered his head and performed the great ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times, saying only: "Your humble servant greets the Holy Saint."

"I am well." Emperor Zhaoyuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the south window, but his eyes were looking out of the window into the distance.

At this time, it was still dark outside the window, but a faint white light seemed to appear in the distant sky.

Shen Chongyan lay on the ground, not daring to look up. He shouted "Long live the emperor" and said, "I have failed the emperor's grace. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

When Emperor Zhao Yuan heard him say this, he turned around and looked at him carefully.

Shen Chongyan heard Emperor Zhaoyuan chuckle and ask, "What crime has Lord Shen committed?"

Shen Chongyan was still kneeling on the ground, but he straightened up and replied: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, but I was unable to see you because of my personal condition. I cannot redeem myself even if I die."

This was referring to the time when he and Ning'er had just reunited and Emperor Zhaoyuan had summoned him but he was unconscious. After that day, Liu Ying, who served in the palace, entered the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaoyuan took a little effort to sort out the logic of what Shen Chongyan said in his chaotic and complicated memory.

In the eighteenth year of Zhaoyuan in the previous life, Shen Chongyan did not fall into a coma and was unable to meet the emperor, and he did not bestow Liu Ying on him.

This incident happened in this life because he had begun to recall fragments of his previous life at that time. However, due to the confusion in his dreams, he did not fully realize the fact of his rebirth. He just felt something in his heart and did it casually.

Emperor Zhao Yuan waved his hand indifferently: "Shen Qing, please stand up!"

His tone was calm, but it shocked Shen Chongyan inexplicably: "You did have it, but it's not here."

After hearing what His Majesty said, Shen Chongyan didn't dare to kneel anymore. He could only thank the Emperor and then stood up and stood solemnly at the side.

At this time, Emperor Zhaoyuan changed into an apricot-yellow casual suit. His black crown was decorated with colorful jade clouds and was only held in place by a jade hairpin. This was exactly the attire for the emperor at his banquets.

When Shen Chongyan looked at his untidy self, he felt so ashamed that he lowered his head deeply.

Emperor Zhaoyuan said, "Raise your head."

He looked at Shen Chongyan carefully, as if trying to find some traces of time on his face: "Mr. Shen, how old are you?"

Shen Chongyan bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I am now over thirty-four years old."

Emperor Zhaoyuan nodded slightly and said, "Oh? It turns out that Mr. Shen is more than eight years older than me."

Hearing this, Shen Chongyan could not help but sweat profusely, and hurriedly said, "I am terrified. Your Majesty is the father of all the people in the world. I dare not argue with the emperor. Long live His Majesty."

As he said this, he prostrated himself and bowed deeply.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaoyuan laughed. His laughter was clear and if you ignore his identity as the Holy Emperor and only look at his smiling face at this moment, he is truly a handsome young man.

However, Emperor Zhaoyuan ascended the throne at a young age and ruled the country for eighteen years. The chaos in the barbarians was eliminated, the country was peaceful, and all the people were blessed by the grace of heaven. Moreover, now that he has been reborn for the second time, his majesty is even more unbearable to look at.

He laughed so loudly, but no one dared to admire his expression. Instead, it made people even more afraid of his majesty.

The emperor said to Shen Chongyan: "I thought that the Marquis of Xinyuan was a loyal and upright minister, but I didn't expect that he would also flatter the emperor."

Shen Chongyan was about to kneel down and apologize immediately, but Emperor Zhaoyuan stopped him with a wave of his hand.

He said slowly: "Shen Qing, I am not meeting you to punish you."

If you want to see him kneel down and apologize, why go through so much trouble? Just send an oral order to the Marquis's mansion.

As soon as he raised his hand, two palace maids came forward, each holding a black gold tray in their hands. They walked in front of Shen Chongyan and bowed.

"When I visited Qingzhou, the local governor presented me with a white fox that was auspicious. He said that the fox had a pearl in its mouth and could speak human language. I thought that the local officials were just trying to curry favor with me, so they made up such a story."

As he spoke, he motioned to Shen Chongyan to uncover the brocade on the tray on the left. On the tray lay a huge pearl. The pearl was flawless and shone brightly, dazzling the eyes.

"Who would have thought that when I saw the white fox, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a bright pearl, then fell to the ground and died."

Originally, those local officials were so delighted when they saw the White Fox-Faced Lord speaking pearls at first, but they were so scared when they saw Xiangrui die in front of the emperor a moment later.

Emperor Zhaoyuan laughed and said, "White foxes are easy to get, but pearls are hard to find."

"Today I will give you this pearl as a gift, and congratulate you on your joy of regaining the pearl."

His tone was calm, but when Shen Chongyan heard it, it was like a bolt of thunder hitting his head!
