Inside the palace, Ning Xiaoyao and the astrologers had ended up at odds with each other Their conversation was like a donkey trying to talk to a horse, co and those so-called swindlers ended up feeling extreht the other side was completely abnormal
I have to abstain fromXiaoyao ridiculed in her heart And I can’t even eat! Isn’t this just a form of punishment? What’s it all for? Dead people don’t need to eat, so the living have to keep them company?!
Why doesn’t His Majesty understand a thing? The so-called swindling astrologers ridiculed in their hearts He’s not only ignorant, but i on here? Did the Grand Preceptor only raise His Majesty’s body instead of his brain? Doesn’t he even kno to use human speech?
Both the sitting party and standing parties were staring at each other before they each quickly averted their eyes, unable to bear the sight any longer
“Aren’t you guys afraid that I, Your Majesty, will starve to death?” Ning Xiaoyao still couldn’t accept it after thinking it over
The seven so-called swindlers stood there, all wooden-faced They’d never heard of sole day
“What is it?” Ning Xiaoyao said “Are you guys trying the silent treatainst me? Look at me, hey! I’m the emperor–the emperor, don’t you know?”
The head astrologer opened his mouth with effort “Your Majesty chides aptly”
“What do youXiaoyao said “I’m the emperor, so I can do whatever I want Do you knohy?”
The seven so-called swindlers re their wooden expressions
Ning Xiaoyao raised her voice for a rousing speech, “Because I’m the emperor!”
How they wanted to die and bring His Majesty with theht at this exact moment (o(╯□╰)o)
Shadowgale and a few other Dragon Guards had been acting as wallflowers the entire tiainst the astrologers, Shadowgale felt extremely stifled If His Majesty beats them up until they’re bedridden, hoe take care of the Grand Sacrificial Cere you’re worried about…)
“And also, what if someone tries to hurtXiaoyao asked
The head astrologer replied, “Your Majesty jests What kind of scoundrel would have the gall to harm Your Majesty in the Grand Sacrificial Hall?”
“The Grand Preceptor, for exa Xiaoyao said, “Just then, you cursed him as a scoundrel!”
The head astrologer wanted to go hoo insane
“What kind of expression are youXiaoyao asked him with a constipated look herself Doesn’t he know I’m the emperor here?
The head astrologer lowered his head “Your Majesty, these traditions were passed down from the ancestors”
Ning Xiaoyao said, “I was talking about the Grand Preceptor, but now you’re bringing up ancestral traditions Your Excellency, ah, why is it so tiring to talk to you?”
“………” said the seven astrologers They were tired and confused, too
“Forget it,” Ning Xiaoyao said “I’ll switch up my words, use some common terms that you can all understand”
The head astrologer replied, “May Your Majesty instruct us”
