Chapter 28 (1/2)
There were few people who would dare to say something like “the Emperor is willful,” and Yong An, the Emperor’s junior, was one of them. After all, when she was a child, she had tugged and plucked the Emperor’s beard. And as a young lady, she had even falsely accused the Emperor behind his back to frame him out of personal resentment. She had taken a liking to a court musician and wanted to ask the Emperor for him. At the time, the Emperor wasn’t willing to grant her wish, so Princess Yong An brought her complaint right to the Empress Dowager, who pulled the Emperor by his ear and made him give the musician to Princess Yong An.
The Emperor wasn’t angered by Princess Yong An’s false accusation against him. He was happy instead. As someone in a high position, it had been so long since he’d experienced such valuable kinship, which was why he’d not only given Princess Yong An the court musician then, but also he had given her an additional reward.
Princess Yong An led Tian Miao to the entrance of the main hall, but she stopped there. The Emperor had something he wanted to ask a divine operator, and he didn’t want what he said to be overheard by someone.
Tian Miao went in alone and saw the Emperor, who was dressed in regular clothes, standing in the middle of the hall, seemingly deep in thought. The Emperor was already in his fifties, but he didn’t look old. On the contrary, he had a commanding presence and the bearing of an authoritative leader. One could easily tell that he’d been a decisive person ever since he was a child.
Sensing that someone had entered, the Emperor turned around to look at the person who’d come in.
Then, he went limp.
How was it possible that this young lady put off the same vibes as his mother?
To be more precise, in front of Tian Miao, he got the same feeling he used to get as a child when his mother, without saying a single word, would give him a cold look because he’d done something wrong.
Why did he feel the same way around Tian Miao? It was absurd! She clearly looked like a young lady who was barely two decades old.
Tian Miao didn’t stand on ceremony and nonchalantly walked up and took a seat.
“Are you really from the clan of divine operators?” When the Emperor saw that the person in front of him didn’t address him with a formal salute, he felt all the more that the other party had to be someone from the clan of divine operators. This was because those higher beings were always so arrogant and unruly, and simply couldn’t be bothered to pay attention or comply with such unnecessary and overelaborate formalities.
