Shock, surprise, astonishment, confusion, and cringe appeared on the faces of the court officials in turn. They all turned to look towards the entrance of the hall and talked in low voices.

"Why is the Princess here?"

"Oh no! With the princess' temper, won't she cause a scene in the imperial court?"

"Don't make random assumptions. Listen to why the princess is here."

"Why else? He must have known about the mission."

"Isn't she staying indoors? She definitely doesn't want to go. You guys are here with bad intentions."

The ministers were in mixed emotions, and even Xie Shu couldn't help but turn around to look.

The envoy from Suojibu took a full year on the road to arrive, so it is better to meet him as soon as possible, otherwise something might happen.

This is a big deal.

Xie Shu prided himself on being a loyal and trusted minister. He could make small calculations and use this incident to achieve his own goals, but he would not let himself be criticized in the big picture.

According to his original plan, public opinion would reach its peak in two days at most.

He could go to the Princess's Mansion in person and ask Princess Leyang to be Da Jing's envoy, using pressure to force her to obey.

But, she actually came to Wende Hall?

Unlike the other court officials, upon hearing his sister's arrival, the emperor excitedly jumped up from the dragon throne and was about to walk down.

The eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward, blocked his way, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the morning court has not yet ended."

How can the Supreme Emperor go to greet him in person?

Even the eldest sister can’t do it.

The emperor said "Oh", sat back on the dragon throne in a sullen manner, supported his chin with his hand and sighed.

Boring.

It's so boring.

Whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor, it’s boring!

The early morning sunlight brushes over the eaves and sprinkles on the white marble steps outside the Wende Hall that have been weathered by time.

The elegant and exquisite red train of the skirt slid slowly over the sparkling white steps. The dark gold phoenix embroidery pattern shone brightly under the sunlight, like proud phoenix feathers.

Qin Yaoguang held Guyu's hand and climbed the stairs, with a majestic and natural demeanor.

With her heavy makeup, her face looked particularly bright and beautiful, as gorgeous as a peach or plum. Exquisite jewelry, head ornaments, shawls and other expensive decorations all became her foil.

Wende Hall is where national affairs are discussed.

Although it was not explicitly stated, there was an unwritten rule that "women were not allowed to set foot there".

Especially during the morning court.

But, here she comes.

Qin Yaoguang stood at the entrance of the hall, his chin slightly raised, his eyes slowly passing over the faces of the court officials.

The sunlight gave her a light golden glow, which formed a sharp contrast with the slightly dim light in the hall.

She stood in the light, and the whole world was bright because of her.

Intimidated by her aura, the entire hall fell silent for a moment, and one could hear a pin drop.

It was not until Fan Shiming stepped forward to pay his respects that the ministers reacted and bowed one after another: "Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Flat body."

Qin Yaoguang opened her red lips slightly and walked among the ministers with great grace.

Officials of the fifth rank were eligible to attend the court meetings, but not everyone was qualified to have seen Qin Yaoguang. They had only heard various rumors circulating in the streets: domineering, kind, arrogant, humble, money-grubbing, philanthropic, talented...

Amidst numerous contradictions, the eldest princess seems to be shrouded in fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, at this moment, watching her walk not far in front of him, all thoughts disappeared, leaving only the urge to worship her with sincerity.

The elegance of the empire's eldest princess should be like this.

"Royal sister, come quickly!"

It was inconvenient for the emperor to get off the throne, so he walked back and forth on it several times holding the dragon robe, his excitement undisguised.

Court was so boring, and finally there was something to make him happy.

"Is there something wrong? I have prepared a chair for you, come and sit down and talk."

The morning court had been noisy for several days. The emperor just hated government affairs, but he was not a fool.

I don't know what's wrong with Xie Situ, he insists on sending the imperial sister on the mission.

It's such a far place, and it took a year to get here from the sandbar. I don't know how long my imperial sister will be gone. Doesn't that mean I won't be able to go see the paintings with her?

Because of this, the emperor secretly kept a note for Xie Shu in his heart.

Seeing Qin Yaoguang actually coming to the Wende Hall, the emperor thought she was here to complain and thought to himself: As long as the imperial sister asks, he will agree immediately!

His words were golden. As long as he agreed, Xie Shu couldn't refute it in front of so many people.

He was standing on the high imperial platform, but Qin Yaoguang could feel the earnestness in his eyes and her heart warmed.

No matter what, the emperor always cares about his family.

Walking to the chair that had been specially placed for her, Qin Yaoguang sat down gracefully and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am here today to report something important."

The emperor said "Oh?" without any surprise, and urged again and again: "Sister, please speak!"

Come on, make your request!

Qin Yaoguang took his time and presented a memorial: "Your Majesty, everything I want to say is written in this memorial."

Folding paper?

The emperor's eyes opened wide in disbelief.

You just don't want to go? It's just a matter of saying a few words. Why would you go through the trouble of writing a petition?

The eunuch took it with both hands and bowed to present it to the emperor.

The emperor could not wait to unfold it, and what came into view was a beautiful and neat handwriting of small calligraphy with flowers on it, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.

The emperor hadn't seen his sister's handwriting for a long time. He admired it for a moment before reading on.

There were thousands of words in the letter, and he became more and more serious as he read.

Perhaps it was because his image of not caring about state affairs was deeply rooted in people's hearts. The more serious and unique he was, the more his officials looked forward to it.

I can't wait to know the answer.

What did the princess write in the memorial that made the emperor so fascinated?

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor finally finished reading it, slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Good!"

He was beaming with joy, and handed the memorial to the eunuch, saying, "I have approved it, and we will do as my sister wishes! Here, give it to the Grand Tutor to draft an edict and circulate it to all the ministers."

What does "I agree" mean?

This matter is of great importance. How could it be approved without discussion among the ministers?

Xie Shu only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and the feeling he had when he took the letter was similar to Qin Yaoguang opening a blind box in modern times.

No, not a blind box.

It's a bomb.

After quickly glancing over the meaningless but necessary formulaic introduction, Xie Shu's gaze turned to the main text.

From the initial feeling of nervousness, to disbelief, and then to amazement.

Unlike the emperor who was high and mighty, when Xie Shu was reading the memorials, many court officials were eager to take a look and stretched their necks to get a glimpse.

They say curiosity kills the cat. Their hearts feel like they are being scratched by a cat and are itching.

But in order to avoid being seen, Xie Shu stood in an extremely tricky position, with his back against the dragon pillar in the hall and his hand covering the letter so that only he could see it.

Even though the contents will be known to everyone sooner or later, if he knows it a few moments in advance, he can seize the initiative.

Therefore, the ministers could only try to guess some clues from his expression.

"Ugh!"

Xie Shu sighed and leaned against the pillar bonelessly, as if he had suffered a major blow.
