Chapter 500 The King’s Six Women
The empress put down the memorial, stretched herself, and said lazily,
"Well, that's great! I'll be able to meet my other queen soon. I really want to see if that Queen Yu is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. Compared to our Queen Tang, who is more beautiful?"
As he spoke, Yan Fuyao lifted Tang Xinyi's chin and gently touched her little face.
Tang Xinyi took her hand away and put it back, saying,
"It would be better if there were other queens. Let other women sleep with you. I can finally be free from suffering."
"Oh, is Queen Tang jealous? Are you worried that I won't favor you anymore?"
"Who wants you to pamper me?"
"Yeah, it's enough to have a man spoil you, right?"
"Don't either."
Tang Xinyi's cheeks flushed and she turned her head away.
Yan Fuyao looked towards the door curtain and sneered,
"This man actually dared to embarrass me in front of the entire court. When I see him this time, I'll see how I deal with him.
What do you think, how should we deal with him?"
Fairy Meiyan immediately said,
"Fifty lashes."
Jiang Ruoxue said timidly,
"Huh? That's going to hurt."
"Tsk, look how distressed you are."
Tang Xinyi said,
"As a punishment, he is not allowed to enter our house."
Jiang Ruoxue said again,
"Are you punishing him or us?"
"Xue'er, you are such a little slut."
Tang Xinyi said seriously.
"I'm not."
"You are."
Several women started fighting again.
Yan Fuyao looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.
It is very difficult to form a united front with these people. As long as that man is sanctioned, they will immediately become scattered and betray each other.
On the other side, outside the city gate, Shen Changgong and officials including Ma Ling, Yu Ziling, and Liu Fugui were standing at the door to welcome them.
Both princes were wearing royal robes, only Yu Ziling was wearing light armor, after all, she was a general.
At this moment, Yu Ziling's expression was calm and solemn, without any sign of nervousness.
Seeing this, Shen Changgong smiled and asked,
"Weren't you very nervous when you came here before? Are you not nervous now?"
Yu Ziling's mouth twitched and she whispered,
"Why should I be nervous? Meeting your eldest lady is not like meeting your parents. There's no point in being nervous. She's the emperor and I'm a subject. I should just treat her as my superior."
"Oh, are you so open-minded?"
"of course."
Yu Ziling thought for a moment and then asked,
"Is your Majesty beautiful?"
Shen Changgong said without hesitation,
"very beautiful."
"Compared to me?"
"Ask me questions like this again, and I'll spank you in front of the entire city and its officials."
"you……"
Yu Ziling's pretty face flushed red and she glared at him fiercely.
At this moment, she was wearing dark light armor, had a high ponytail, and a sword slung over her waist. She looked heroic and majestic, after all, she had come out of the battlefield fighting and swords and guns.
Yu Ziling's temperament at this time was completely different from when she left Linzi. She had acquired the solemnity and decisiveness of a general, the temperament of a superior.
"coming."
As Shen Changgong spoke, the army slowly appeared on the northern horizon.
I saw the infantry in the front, lined up in two long rows, walking towards the front.
Further back came the emperor's ceremonial guards, including those holding umbrellas, signs, and so on. When these people walked forward and stood on both sides, the emperor's dragon chariot pulled by six horses slowly drove in.
Seeing the arrival of the Emperor of Dayan, some of the people who were welcoming him at the door became excited.
They also had the opportunity to see the emperor's true appearance, and it was a female emperor. This was truly a great honor and a big event that would be recorded in the family tree.
Gradually, the dragon chariot came in front of everyone and slowly stopped. After a moment, the empress, wearing a gilded crown and a bright red dragon robe, walked out of the dragon chariot and stood on its pedals.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All the people present, except the two kings, the cavalry and the honor guard, knelt down and saluted.
Those who did not kneel also bowed their heads.
"All the nobles and common people, please stand up!"
The empress's domineering and majestic voice came over.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up and looked up, only then could they see the true face of the empress.
With bright eyes and white teeth, she is extremely graceful, with a domineering look in her eyes, and stands tall and majestic.
The moment Yu Ziling saw the true appearance of the empress, she was overwhelmed by her aura and even forgot to breathe.
Is this the aura of the peerless empress? So powerful, so terrifying.
She had originally calmed down, but now she couldn't help but become nervous again.
She felt as small as an ant in front of him, unable to think of anything else.
How could such a woman be won over by Shen Changgong?
Wouldn't he be nervous when meeting the empress?
Yu Ziling glanced at Shen Changgong secretly, but found that there was no tension in Shen Changgong's eyes at this moment. Instead, there was only longing, admiration and some pampering.
This is the look on a husband's face when he sees his wife.
The empress slowly spoke,
"My dear ministers, you have all worked hard for me and the court in governing Qi. Now that Qi has ceded its allegiance to Dayan, all the people of Qi will be citizens of Dayan.
All officials should treat everyone equally, be good officials, make decisions for the people, be impartial and just, and love the people as their own children.
Those who have made contributions will be generously rewarded, and those who harm the people will be severely punished!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Everyone saluted again.
The empress walked down from the dragon chariot. Although she did not bring anyone down with her, the sight of her walking alone was like the presence of thousands of troops.
She first walked in front of King Nan.
"See Your Majesty."
King Ma Ling of the South saluted with his hands clasped together, a smile on his face.
"Uncle Wang, it's been two years since we last met, hasn't it? You've been busy with military affairs away from home all these years and haven't been back to Shengjing.
You are my only blood relative. When you have time in the future, please bring your wives and children back to visit me."
"The minister obeys the order."
King Nan said respectfully.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Yan Fuyao's eyes.
In fact, she values family affection very much and trusts Prince Ma Ling of the South very much, but Ma Ling is well versed in the ways of the court. He believes that as a prince commanding troops to fight outside and holding a large number of troops, he is prone to arouse suspicion. If he returns to the capital frequently, he is afraid that he will be impeached by officials for forming a clique for personal gain.
If he went to see the empress frequently, the civil officials would say that he was using his military power and bloodline to seduce Her Majesty.
Therefore, he never interfered in any political affairs, and would not return to Beijing if possible, keeping himself clean and avoiding suspicion.
Yan Fuyao walked in front of Shen Changgong again.
The two looked at each other and both burst out laughing.
Shen Changgong didn't care about the difference between the emperor and his subjects. He lost his manners in front of the palace and simply hugged his little wife tightly in his arms.
The two people, who were reunited after a short separation, hugged each other for a long time before letting go.
