Then he led the ceremonial guards and the imperial guards away.

Chen Qingzhu smiled and looked at Huiyun:

"how?"

Huiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"The master is right indeed."

After this incident, her awe of His Majesty dissipated a lot.

"Although I still can't treat His Majesty as an ordinary person like the master, at least I won't be too nervous when I see him in the future."

Chen Qingzhu smiled and said:

"that's enough."

Huiyun, a young lady from an official family who grew up in the capital, would be lying if she said that she was no longer afraid of Emperor Yong'an.

The emperor is the emperor after all.

Even Chen Qingzhu himself had to spend more time and effort to calculate him than to the other believers.

As for subordinates like Huiyun, she only asked them not to be too nervous when facing the emperor and not do anything bad. That was enough.

Next time, she will bring Rongniang to see it.

Rong Niang is the one who truly needs to despise imperial power.

When Emperor Yong'an returned to the palace, he saw Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi standing at the door of his bedroom waiting for him.

Emperor Yong'an took her hand gently, walked into the room to warm up, and asked softly:

"Why are you here, my beloved?"

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi said innocently:

"I heard that Your Majesty was going to invite the God of Du'e to the court, so I hurried over to see what the God looks like!"

As he spoke, he looked behind Emperor Yong'an curiously:

"Your Majesty, where is the God?"

Emperor Yong'an's sacrifice to the gods caused quite a stir in the palace, and Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi naturally heard about it.

Upon learning that Emperor Yong'an had personally gone to the treasury to select those offerings, Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.

Ever since Shu also began to use military force, the national treasury has been in great demand.

The Queen took the lead in expressing her intention to cut the expenses of the imperial palace and save money for His Majesty.

As the Imperial Noble Consort, she had always cared about Emperor Yong'an wholeheartedly, so naturally she had to express her gratitude.

Therefore, she had no choice but to reduce the expenses in her palace to one third of the original amount.

Even if you have money, you still have to live frugally and set an example.

Although Emperor Yong'an felt sorry for her and advised her not to be so harsh on herself, when she insisted a little, he only praised her for being sensible and did not continue to let her restore the expenses.

Now, she was living frugally in the palace, and suffered all kinds of grievances every day to save the twenty or thirty taels of silver for food money, but Emperor Yong'an gave offerings of tens of thousands of taels of silver to other women at one go!

In the six years since she entered the palace, her importance in Emperor Yong'an's heart has grown day by day.

Emperor Yong'an always treated her with great pampering.

The current situation made her feel worse than eating a fly.

Moreover, His Majesty attaches too much importance to the God of Du'e. She can no longer just wait for news from Pei Xiao, she must do something.

After hearing what Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi said, Emperor Yong'an said:

“I didn’t see the God today.”

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi was surprised, then with tears in her eyes, she looked at Emperor Yongan distressedly and said:

"Your Majesty is so noble. I have personally invited the God three times, but the God has not shown up. Your Majesty is really wronged for the sake of the people of the world!"

On the surface, these words express sympathy for Emperor Yong'an, but in reality they are saying that Lord Du'e is arrogant and does not take Emperor Yong'an seriously.

She originally thought that after saying this, Emperor Yong'an would still have some resentment in his heart.

But she watched intently, and did not see any change in Emperor Yong'an's expression that she expected.

He just smiled gently and touched her head:

"The power of the God is boundless. If I can ask the God to come to the court just by going a few more times, it will be worth it."

He also said with great anticipation, "If I can successfully invite the God to come to the court to be the imperial teacher, then, with the God's ability, I will surely live a hundred years, and I will be able to protect you and the children for a long time!"

His great respect for the God of Du'e made Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi very unwilling to accept it.

"But I feel that even if he is a god, he should not go beyond His Majesty. The Lord of Du'e is so arrogant before he even enters the court. If he really enters the court in the future, won't he cause Your Majesty to suffer more grievances..."
