Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 396

"Report—" The solemn atmosphere in the early morning was interrupted by a rush of footsteps, and the imperial guard hurriedly trot to the hall and knelt down, "Report to the emperor, Her Majesty the Empress Dongling has arrived outside the palace!"

The voice fell, and the hall was quickly silent.

The eyes of all the ministers fell on the face of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him.

Ye Qingli, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stood up suddenly, "Please!"

"According to the order!"

The guard left in a hurry.

Ye Qingli left the dragon chair and hurriedly stepped down from Majesty Dan, wearing a dragon robe that flashed a noble look in the eyes of the officials, but at this moment, he didn't care about the dignity and demeanor of the king of a country, and walked quickly to the outside of the hall.

"All my lovers, go out with me to meet you." A bit of urgency could be heard in the steady voice.

The early court was temporarily suspended, and Donglan's monarchs and ministers all went out of the palace to welcome the distinguished guests from afar, which was probably the first time in Donglan's history.

Even if the princess of a neighboring country wanted to marry Donglan 15 years ago, His Majesty the Emperor coldly replied with a refusal. In recent years, the relations between the countries on the west coast of the sea area have been close, and they have maintained superficial politeness. However, there is no country that can let their emperor put down his identity and greet him proactively.

But the ministers were not surprised at all.

The strength of the Tangling Empire is obvious to all, and Donglan can't afford it.

Besides, His Majesty the Emperor liked the empress of the Tangling Empire many years ago. If he hadn't been unwilling to give up the throne, he might have become one of the empress' husbands 20 years ago.

The monarchs and ministers walked towards the palace gate in a mighty way. The young courtiers were fine and in good health. The older courtiers worked hard to follow behind the emperor, panting and trotting, not daring to be too far behind.

If the Empress Tanglin thinks that they are deliberately neglecting them, the consequences will be even worse.

There was a clatter of horseshoes.

The ministers who had just walked to the gate of the palace were stunned, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

The imperial guards on duty knelt on the ground, but Ye Qingli ignored him, the palace gate opened wide, and the monarchs and ministers came out like a long dragon, and when they looked up, they saw several horses who had just stepped across the moat bridge.

Nanxiao princess and ministers all know the exquisite and vulgar figure.

The woman next to her looked older than her, with an overpowering face, and a noble manner in her eyebrows and eyes that made people dare not look directly at her.

The man walking on her left was wearing a red cloak fluttering in the wind, pouring out a dazzling color, that handsome face made people unable to tell his age, just looking at it seemed to feel a kind of breathtaking beauty.

Time has never defeated a beauty.

Just like the noble Empress of Dongling in the middle, she and Princess Nanxiao are obviously mother and daughter, but when they walk together, people think they are sisters at first glance.

The ministers feasted their eyes and couldn't help thinking that the Tangling Empire not only had a vast territory, a vast land and resources, and a powerful and prosperous national power, but the beauties from this royal family were also unique.

"Jiu Rao!" Ye Qingli's eyes fell on Jiu Rao's face and never took his eyes off again, the joy and excitement in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Jiurao got off his horse, glanced coldly at a large number of Donglan ministers in front of him, and finally looked at Ye Qingli: "Please trouble your Majesty to come out to greet him in person, what can Jun Jiurao do?"

Ye Qingli stepped forward, subconsciously wanting to hold her hand.

However, a hand swayed towards him and knocked off his hand mercilessly, "In broad daylight, don't move!"

The crisp sound showed his unceremonious attitude, and the ministers behind the emperor couldn't help being surprised.

This temper... is too straightforward.

Although the comer was not kind, but in front of the gate of Donglan Palace, in front of so many ministers of Donglan, can't they save some face for their emperor?

Ye Qingli raised his head and glared at Ji Huangyu: "Isn't it okay for me to catch up with Jiu Rao?"

"Reminiscing about the old days?" Ji Huangyu sneered, "What old things can be recounted between my majesty and you? We came to Donglan this time to settle accounts with you, who wants to reminisce about the past with you?"

When Donglan's ministers heard the words, they fell silent and pretended to be dead.

Although the minister wants to solve the king's worries and problems, it is obvious that only His Majesty the Emperor can solve the current situation.

As long as they show the greatest sincerity, perfectly hide the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and show their respect to the honored guests just right, the rest can't be separated from their worries and difficulties.

"Mother." Nan Si was worried about someone, and she didn't want to waste time here, so she took the initiative to ask, "I haven't had breakfast yet, should we go to the palace?"

Jiu Rao took her hand, "Alright."

Ye Qingli quickly turned around and signaled, "Please come inside."

"Come inside?" Ji Huangyu sneered lowly, as if talking to herself, but her voice was clear enough for everyone to hear, "Aren't you afraid that we will tear down your palace?"

Ye Qingli didn't want to talk to him, and just looked at Jiu Rao: "Have you worked hard all the way? It's a rare trip this time, so I must stay in Donglan for a few more days—"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Ji Huangyu interjected nonchalantly, "More than [-] troops are still stationed at the border. Since His Majesty is here, he will naturally stay longer."

As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly froze.

The ministers who followed behind were both annoyed and fearful, and couldn't help but stare at each other quietly.

What annoyed him was that the imperial husband threatened him openly with his troops, but what he was afraid of was naturally his powerful cavalry and navy.

But after thinking about it, although the husband of Dong Ling sneered at his majesty the emperor, the more he spoke, the more they felt that the war should not start...

Jiu Rao and Ye Qingli walked in front, and Ji Huangyu walked on Jiu Rao's left.

Jiu Rao always had a faint smile on his face, occasionally replying to Ye Qingli's words, but most of the time it was Ji Huangyu who said it.

Because this person hated Ye Qingli, he didn't want Jiu Rao to talk to Ye Qingli alone.

Nan Si quietly followed Ji Huangyu, and said quietly, "Daddy Huang."

Ji Huangyu turned her head and glanced at her: "Why? Want to run away?"

Nan Si: "..."

"I will go with you."

Nan Si's heart sank slightly, but her delicate face remained calm, her voice was calm and low: "Is there any reason for the elders to take the initiative to see the younger?"

"Didn't your father Mo take the initiative to meet the junior last night?" Ji Huangyu patted her head, extremely gentle and doting, "Xiao Liuer, you know that we don't care about these vain gifts."

Nan Si looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What?" Ye Qingli was the first to notice the change in Nan Si's expression, and said, "Si'er went out of the palace to meet your mother last night? She really is a filial and well-behaved daughter—"

"A filial and well-behaved daughter?" Ji Huangyu's expression turned cold, and she looked at Ye Qingli with a murderous look in her eyes, "Ye Qingli, do you still have the face to say that? Little Liu was almost buried in your hands, this account How should we settle with you?"
