C328 (1/2)

The next morning, the golden chicken crowed, and the sun rose at dawn. Ten thousand miles of multicolored light gradually spread out from the distant eastern sky, filling the entire horizon.

Bright Moon City, brilliant and resplendent. Within the imperial palace of the Nine Palace.

Just as the sun rose, in the warm room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony that was decorated elegantly, due to the beauty of the night in bed, the happiness of fish and water was enough to make the world happy.

As a result, Baili Lan was still wrapped up in his bed, hugging the beautiful girl and didn't want to get up. If it wasn't for the continuous shouts from the eunuchs guarding the Warm Pavilion, Baili Lan would have then lazily lifted the bed cover and slowly woke up.

”Your Majesty …” The beauty in his embrace seemed to have noticed that Baili Lan was showing signs of waking up. He squinted his eyes, and shouted with a soft and sweet voice. ”Your Majesty, you should sleep a bit more …”

As she spoke, her entire jade arm rested on Baili Lan's bare chest. She leaned on Baili Lan's chest with a smile on her face, and was like a little kitten bathing in the spring sun, unable to get close to Baili Lan.

”My beloved concubine, I should get up now. It's already too late for that. Those court officials are probably already waiting in the Town Hall.”

Baili Lan opened his eyes and saw that the golden sunlight had already passed through the warm window and shone through the white gauze, shining in hazily. It was already morning, so Baili Lan whispered to the beauty in his arms, trying to comfort her as he pulled her arm away.

”Your Majesty, is the previous dynasty that important? ”I was staying with him for a while, he didn't sleep well at all.” The beauty had 3000 strands of hair and a soft and delicate appearance with a touch of flirtatiousness mixed within. She pinched her voice and flirted coquettishly with Baili Lan.

”If you do not sleep well after I leave, you can continue to fall asleep. The court will be in a very serious situation as well. If we do not deal with the matters of this country, how can I stabilize my position and allow all of you to prosper?” Baili Lan was in high spirits and was in a good mood to tease.

”Your Majesty, you're so kind. You said you want to get up and go to court, and you're still acting like this …” The beauty immediately let out an ambiguous moan, and while her mouth said those forced words, she raised her slender jade hand and lightly tapped on Baili Lan's palm, helping Baili Lan to stroke his soft skin.

As she fiddled with Baili Lan, the beauty tilted her head and winked innocently, saying in a low voice, ”Your concubine feels so much pain here, the Emperor has to pinch her and massage her a bit, maybe your concubine won't feel pain anymore.”

”Oh? ”Since that's the case, then I can help my beloved concubine knead and massage a bit more, lest my beloved concubine endures the torment of illness.” Baili Lan was once again intrigued by the beauty in front of him. He no longer had any thoughts of standing up and putting on his clothes.

Just as Baili Lan's eyes lit up, the head eunuch outside the Warm Pavilion spoke out once again, ”Your majesty, it's getting late, all the ministers of the Town Hall are already there, they are all waiting for your majesty to go to the Emperor.”

”The previous dynasty's meeting every day wasn't too short of a time! Besides, what is the purpose of giving those officials a salary? Isn't it just giving me advice, putting me first in everything? ”Since I've raised them, I should do as I've been told. If I don't attend to the court, I should just stay there and wait patiently!” Baili Lan was about to lower his head and kiss the lips of the beauty when he was interrupted by the eunuch standing outside. He was obviously in a bad mood, so he raised his head in annoyance and looked towards the door of the Warm Pavilion, as he said unhappily.

”But …”

The eunuch at the door hesitated for a long time before speaking, ”Your Majesty, it would be best for you to get up quickly. Those ministers have already stood outside the hall for another three-quarters of an hour. The eunuch's voice passed through the window of the Warm Pavilion once again.

Baili Lan was even more unhappy, he glared at the person outside the door and bellowed: Let's just say that we are not feeling well today, and will not go to court. Those ministers are willing to wait!

”Yes, your servant obeys.” When the head eunuch at the door saw that the emperor was enraged, he immediately bowed and left quickly through the door of the Warm Pavilion. He then headed towards the direction of the Town Hall to pass on his decree.

Seeing that the silhouette of the person at the entrance of the Warm Pavilion had finally disappeared, Baili Lan's embarrassed face finally recovered the slightest bit of normal temperature that he should have.

He was even defying the heavens!

He was the true emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom, the master of the entire imperial palace.

Since when did Bright Moon Kingdom rise up, for those ministers to be in charge?

Originally, Baili Lan wanted to ascend to the throne, but after hearing that damned eunuch repeatedly mention the waiting official, he felt extremely displeased.

As the saying goes, the south of the world respects an official. An official is always an official, no different from a servant.

When did it become the official's turn to climb to the top of the emperor's head?

Didn't that mean there was no exalted rule of law!

When he thought about how those ministers always liked to use the rules set down by Emperor Taizu to restrain him, he got frustrated. Emperor Taizu had already been dead for so many years, why should he still follow the rules set by Emperor Taizu after a few hundred years?
