Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Everyone stood up and bowed to the woman in the dragon robe who was walking towards them.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Liuliu sat on the dragon throne at the very front, scanning the crowd:

"Today, I have summoned you here to discuss only one matter."

Chapter 297 Brother Su

The evening court session lasted for a total of one hour.

As these officials left the Hall of Inquiry, everyone took a deep breath in unison.

There's no way around it; for everyone, that one hour of court sessions is just too unbearable...

Although the emperor was a woman, to them, this female emperor's oppressive power was more exaggerated than that of any other emperor.

In her presence, you only dare to tell the truth.

You don't dare to look the Empress in the eye at all, otherwise, with just one glance, she seems to be able to see right through you, and you will feel a chill from the bottom of your heart!

As they walked out of the palace, everyone remained silent, recalling what His Majesty had said earlier.

"Minister Qian, what is your opinion on what His Majesty said earlier?"

Grand Master of Ceremonies Kong Jimin inquired of the other party.

In other words, there was no smoke, otherwise he would definitely be blowing smoke rings and looking at the sky with a melancholy expression.

At the same time, recalling His Majesty's words, Kong Jimin's forehead was still covered in cold sweat.

What His Majesty said before was truly terrifying.

Minister Qian shook his head:

"It's hard to say...it's hard to say...Her Majesty, she..."

We all know that His Majesty is not like the ordinary emperors of the past...

But unexpectedly, His Majesty actually…

The Vice Minister of Works also took a deep breath: "However, if His Majesty succeeds in this matter... I'm afraid it won't be as simple as His Majesty leaving a name in the imperial biographies of Qianling Prefecture..."

"yes......"

Xu You couldn't help but sigh.

"But this matter is far from simple... No, it's beyond just difficult, it's simply... simply... sigh..."

In the end, Xu You still couldn't think of an adjective, and could only feel his lack of culture and sigh heavily.

"No matter what Your Majesty does, I will support you!"

General Qin Ming of Guide snorted.

"A true man's life is nothing more than making a name for himself! I've long been fed up with those arrogant sects!"

"Yes."

Lieutenant General Wu Wei also nodded.

“A true man is destined to die. If I can contribute my meager strength to Your Majesty’s cause in this life, I, Wu Wei, will die without regret!”

Even if we fail, at least my name will be recorded in history!

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss this matter for now. The state gift in three days is important. Gentlemen, I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

At the palace gate, the ministers bowed to each other before leaving.

All the ministers felt that what His Majesty said at the evening court session this morning was somewhat unbelievable.

However, they did not expect this.

The evening court session of this day will mark the beginning of a new chapter.

Years later, when Xu You, the Minister of Rites, saw the current scene and recalled what happened tonight, he simply shook his head with a smile and passed away peacefully.

Inside the palace, Xia Liuliu also stepped out of her study.

Whether these ministers believe it or not, she will do it anyway.

I'm not asking them to discuss this today; I'm just informing them so they can be mentally prepared.

After all, Xia Liuliu never consulted the ministers about anything she was determined to do.

As soon as Xia Liuliu stepped out of the study, a maid came over.

"Your Majesty, Qianling Envoy Su Li has just come to see you."

"He came to see me? What's the matter?" Xia Liuliu was a little surprised, not expecting Su Li to take the initiative to come to her.

The maid shook her head: "The Grand Preceptor Su didn't say, but judging from his expression, it seemed like something urgent came up. Then... the Grand Preceptor Su pulled me to drink a cup of red tea."

"And then?" Xia Liuliu was even more curious.

"And then I don't remember..."

The maid shook her head.

"Envoy Su said that the black tea was very delicious and asked me to try it."

After I drank a cup, Envoy Su chatted with me about trivial matters.

Then, as we chatted, I got sleepy and fell asleep..."

Hearing the maid's words, Xia Liuliu was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "I understand. Tell Grand Preceptor Su to come to Qinghua Courtyard to find me in two incense sticks' time."

"Yes."

"and many more."

Xia Liuliu called out to the maid, a crescent moon curving her lips.

"Go and tell Miss Qu to come to Qinghua Courtyard to see me in half an hour. Remember, don't let Grand Preceptor Su know."

......

In the secluded courtyard, Su Li was having dinner with her junior sisters.

Qianyun cooked dinner herself.

Originally, the Qi Kingdom's royal palace intended to send a meal, but Qianyun changed it to sending ingredients instead, wanting to cook for herself.

Su Li had no objection to this.

Because the skills of the royal chefs in the Qi Kingdom's palace are really not as good as Qianyun's.

Xiong Da tried to come over for a meal, but Su Li kicked him out.

Just kidding, how could I possibly have a third wheel during dinner time when I'm deepening my relationship with my female classmates?

After finishing her meal, Su Li made an excuse to go for a walk with Xiong Da.

Actually, Su Li wanted to go find Xia Liuliu and talk to her.

However, Su Li was worried that going to see Xia Liuliu would cause Qianyun to misunderstand, so she didn't tell Qianyun.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, a maid came up to Su Li and said that His Majesty had time at three quarters past Xu hour and could see Envoy Su.

The third quarter of the hour of Xu (戌时三刻) is 8 PM.

Su Li was actually quite resistant, because she was a girl.

It's really not a good idea for me to go see her at 8 pm. If word gets out, it will be really bad.

"Otherwise, please tell His Majesty that I will visit him again during the day tomorrow."

Su Li discussed it.

The maid shook her head: "His Majesty specifically said that if Young Master Su does not go, then His Majesty will come to find Young Master Su personally."

"..."

"Please convey to him that Su Li will arrive on time..."

Rather than have Xia Liuliu come to find him in person, he should go there himself.

Otherwise, who knows what Xia Liuliu might do?

Fifteen minutes later, Su Li organized her thoughts, glanced at the sky, and felt it was about time, so she headed to the Blue and White Porcelain Courtyard.

However, halfway there, a maid brushed past Su Li.

Su Li was unaware that this maid was also heading to the courtyard where she lived.

At 7:45 PM, Su Li arrived at the door of the Imperial Study and bowed, saying, "Su Li requests an audience with Your Majesty."

"Yes, Envoy Su, please come in."

"Yes."

A maidservant led Su Li out of the door, and Su Li stepped into the imperial study.

With a loud bang, the door behind Su Li slammed shut.

"Brother Su..."

Looking at Su Li, the girl, who was lying on the soft couch like a kitten, smiled charmingly.

……

……

A busy first day...

I feel like I'm floating on air... No wonder there are so many complicated steps involved in getting married...

Spending money like water...

I managed to steal a few moments from my busy schedule to write two chapters.

As long as I maintain perfect attendance, everything else is negotiable...

But no matter how busy I am, I can't forget to ask for monthly votes! Dear gentlemen, please be kind and give me a monthly vote...

Chapter 298 I, Su Li, never owe anyone anything!

Xia Liuliu was wearing a golden bathrobe at this moment.

However, this bathrobe is a bit indecent.

The golden silk nightgown clung tightly to Xia Liuliu's body, with the slits extending just to the top of her thighs.

The woman's fair thighs contrasted sharply with the golden yellow of her nightgown.

Xia Liuliu got up from the soft couch, her bare white feet walking towards Su Li step by step. Every twist of her waist warmed the air.

Of course, this also made Su Li's breathing a little heavier.

"Women are all like pickled chicken feet!"

"With no woman in my heart, my sword will naturally be divine!"

"Women will only slow me down the speed at which I draw my sword!"

"Women! Ha! Just pretty skeletons..."

Su Li closed her eyes and quickly recited a calming mantra in her mind.

After several repetitions, Su Li opened her eyes and felt as holy as a Buddha.

woman?

Oh.

It's just a shell...

"Brother Su, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
