Chapter 103 – The Ancestor

Looking flustered, he tried to steady himself, and with an agitated tone he reported to Emperor Le Xuan, “Your Majesty, the Ancestor… The Ancestor is coming to visit us!”

‘This matter is huge!’

Emperor Le Xuan abruptly turned around and walked out in big strides. “Send these orders out! The roads need to be sprinkled with clean water. There must be fresh flowers displayed along the way. Everything must be arranged to respectfully welcome the Ancestor’s arrival!”

He hurriedly took two large steps before he turned his head back and gave orders to Ji Yunhuang and Ning Xuemo. “You two follow me to welcome the Ancestor!”

Ning Xuemo stayed silent. Ji Yunhuang also did the same. ‘Why on earth did the Emperor order her to do that?’

‘Welcoming the Ancestor… Is that not an important political affair that only a senior official with qualifications could do it?’

Ordering her, a common little girl, to welcome the Ancestor?

She really wanted to return to her mansion to rest, but now she had to go welcome an old fart…

However, the Emperor had already sent out the order. Currently, she was too weak to go against him. She could only follow him despite her heart and mind being filled with unwillingness.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the Ancestor, the imperial palace could not efficiently handle the situation. This event caused everyone inside the palace to be in disarray rather than being calm and orderly. With great effort, it took a while for them to be arranged into two majestic rows led by the Emperor, before they could all hurriedly march forward.

Ning Xuemo and Ji Yunhuang proceeded side by side. Ning Xuemo stealthily asked, “It looks like the Ancestor doesn’t usually visit.”

“Of course! The last time he came was 18 years ago.”

“Is that right? A few days ago, didn’t he appear once?” That time he easily gave her justice!

“He was only passing through last time, showing up for 15 minutes before leaving…”

‘So, he just came like the wind to join in the fun!’

Ning Xuemo became extremely speechless.
