Before dawn, Emperor Yongxing got out of bed and changed his clothes under the service of the eunuchs. At this time, the sky was dark and the bedroom was brightly lit by candles.
The eunuch Zhao xuanzhen, who had been serving Emperor Yongxing since the eastern Palace, had now followed his master to the sky and sat in the position of the seal eunuch.
“Lin ‘an did not return to the palace last night?”
Emperor Yongxing opened his arms and turned himself into a clothes rack so that the eunuchs could help him put on the Imperial robe.
“This servant asked people to keep watch at the palace gates. Once His Highness Lin an returns to the palace, they will immediately report it. There is no news so the Directorate of Celestials should still be in there.”
After Zhao xuanzhen finished speaking, he saw Emperor Yongxing frown slightly and immediately added,
“His Highness huaiqing hasn’t returned either.”
Emperor Yongxing’s brows relaxed immediately and he nodded slowly, ”
it seems that you’re resting at the Directorate of Celestials. Well, the cold wind was very strong last night. Your Majesties are delicate and it’s indeed not suitable for you to go back and forth. You’ll be easily caught by the cold wind.
Master and servant had accompanied each other for more than ten years, so Zhao xuanzhen had easily read the emperor’s concerns. That was why he had added “His Highness huaiqing has not returned to the palace” to calm the emperor’s heart.
As expected, the moment he heard that huaiqing did not return to the palace, the Emperor was relieved. He was not worried that His Highness Lin ‘an would be “bullied.”
Zhao xuanzhen, who was similar in age to Emperor Yongxing, hesitated and said,
“This servant knows that Your Majesty pities the common people for having no charcoal during the harsh winter, but I also hope that Your Majesty will not forget to warm the hearts of the ladies.”
Emperor Yongxing glanced at the seal-bearing eunuch and sneered, ”
“You dog, how much did you take from the ladies?”
Zhao xuanzhen answered truthfully, ”
“Five hundred taels, it’s all in the palace Treasury.”
In fact, Emperor Yongxing was not completely useless. He knew that the National Treasury was empty and lacked money for disaster relief, so he had secretly formulated many plans to accumulate wealth.
One of them was to make use of the eunuchs in the palace to ask for bribes from the ministers.
Unfortunately, he was only an Emperor trainee who had been practicing for a month. Compared to his predecessor who had been in the Dao for forty years, his means of making money were too immature.
Emperor Yongxing nodded with satisfaction and responded to Zhao xuanzhen’s words,
“Ever since I ascended the throne, I’ve often worked until late at night and slept at my desk. I’ve been very tired.”
Zhao xuanzhen understood that the Emperor would not visit any of the concubines in the harem for a long time.
Emperor Yongxing suddenly sighed,
“If this matter doesn’t work out, the Lord Chief Assistant and his son-in-law will have to bear the infamy.”
He was prepared to propose a donation at today’s court conference. This kind of thing would not be done by the Emperor charging into the enemy lines, nor would it be done by chief advisor Wang. Instead, it would be done by the Han Lin Academy’s SHU ji shi [ 1 ] to celebrate the new year.
In return, he had promised chief advisor Wang that he would promote Xu Xinyi.
At dawn, accompanied by the sound of drums, the civil and military officials passed through the meridian Gate in an orderly manner, crossed the Golden water Bridge, and attended the court meeting.
In the month since the new king ascended the throne, the most direct feeling of the capital officials was:
When would the court session end?
The court Assembly was held at five o ‘clock in the morning. The Dukes living in the Imperial City only needed to leave their manors an hour in advance.
However, some of the capital officials who lived in the inner city, far from the palace, had to get up at three in the morning. In this cold winter, it was really a painful thing.
The frequency of the court meeting mainly depended on the emperor’s attitude. For a talented immortal cultivator like Emperor Yuan jing, there might not be a court meeting every ten days or even half a month.
At that time, the self-proclaimed state Scholars secretly cursed Emperor yuanjing for slacking off in politics and clamored for “return our Court Assembly.”
Now that the new emperor had ascended the throne, he had morning court sessions every day for a month.
Every time the capital officials painfully got out of bed and left their manors to face the cold wind, they would miss the previous emperor.
Xu Qi ‘an’s biological clock was also at five o’ clock. The first thing he did when he woke up was to close his eyes and sense the changes in his dantian.
“The increase in Qi activity brought about by dual cultivation is slowly weakening, and is moving towards a more constant amount.
well, that’s understandable. The effect has always been so exaggerated. The state preceptor and I have been dual cultivating for two years, and we have ascended on the spot …
In just five days of dual cultivation with Luo Yuheng, he had directly advanced from the initial stage of the third stage to the middle stage.
This was a path that an ordinary third-grade martial artist would take several years, or even more than a decade to complete.
From this, it could be seen how important the quality of a pair of cultivation partners was. Luo Yuheng was a member of the Daoist sect, and he was at the second stage tribulation passing stage.
There was probably no other woman in the world who could make Xu Qi ‘an happy while making his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds like her.
With the exception of the cheater, the reincarnation of the flower God.
Xu Qi ‘an yawned and sat up on the small, collapsed bed. He looked around. The quiet room was simply furnished. Luo Yuheng had no concept of sleep in his daily life.
Therefore, the two of them slept on the couch that she usually meditated on.
Now, it was dead.
Luo Yuheng was covered in a loose robe, and his Jade-like body was curled up as he slept.
Every time she underwent dual cultivation, she would fall into a deep sleep to calm her karmic fire and change her personality.
