Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 177
"Miss Yinyue, what are you still doing in a daze, His Majesty ordered you to light incense for His Majesty yourself, don't hurry up!"

Just at this moment, the guard's voice sounded again, but it was very soft and cautious.

Yinyue turned around, and saw that the guard was holding a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a piece of sandalwood, a sharpener, a grinder, and an incense burner.

"Your Majesty asked me to light incense, and then wait here to be summoned?"

Yinyue's eyes flashed, and her brain suddenly became flexible, and she asked in a low voice.

"Otherwise?"

The guard was a little dissatisfied, put down the tray in his hand, and said: "Hurry up, don't wake up His Majesty, or you will bear the consequences!"

With that said, the guard turned around and walked outside, closing the door at the same time,
As the guard left, for a while, Yinyue's pretty face looked brilliant, blue for a while, and red for a while.

Only then did she realize that she was thinking too much.

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but turned her head and gave Ying Shou who was sleeping soundly on the bed a hard look, feeling very dissatisfied.

I just feel that everything is to blame for this guy. If he wasn't so unclear and domineering and explained everything clearly, she wouldn't think too much about it.

But she just glared at Ying Shou, took a deep breath, and sat down on her knees.

She dared not disturb the domineering emperor on the bed, otherwise the emperor would not know what would happen when he woke up.

She put the tray in front of her, picked up the sandalwood and the sharpener, scraped off the sandalwood bit by bit with the sharpener, and put it in the container.

Finally, put the scraped sandalwood powder into a mold, make a very delicate shape, put it in an incense burner and light it.

Immediately, a wave of sandalwood wafted in the room, making people feel at ease.

After doing all this, Yinyue knelt and sat aside, waiting to be summoned at any time.

After this idle time, I couldn't help thinking wildly in my mind.

As a woman who is secretly beating various forces, her mind is not that simple.

In the past, all her thoughts were about the general trend of the world, but now, the general trend of the world can no longer be controlled by her, and the thoughts of other things in her mind are suddenly out of control.

Looking at the emperor sleeping soundly on the bed, she was both grateful and annoyed at the same time.

She thinks that she is not bad in figure and appearance, even if she is placed in Baiyue, she is still in the forefront.

But now, the emperor went to sleep alone when he was sleeping by himself. Did he look down on him, or humiliate himself on purpose?
As soon as this idea came out, the more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became.

For a while, she didn't realize that because of the emperor's move, all her previous thoughts were thrown out of the sky by her.

She who should have been lucky at this moment, but because of the emperor's inaction, she seemed very unhappy.

As time passed, Ying Shou was still sleeping soundly, not knowing what the woman was thinking.

And Yinyue gradually felt drowsy amidst all kinds of dissatisfied thoughts, and finally fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed.

The next day, after several months of cold south, finally ushered in a tomorrow.

The sun shone into the room through the doors and windows, and the light shrouded Yinyue's body, making her look very hazy and petite, like a goddess.

When the sun shone on her eyelids, she finally couldn't help moving her eyes slightly, opened them slowly, and woke up.

"Ugh..."

Yinyue rubbed her eyes, couldn't help opening her small mouth, and yawned, but suddenly found that on the bed, Ying Shou was resting his head with one hand, staring at her with a half-smile.

"you……"

Yinyue was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim.

"woke up?"

The corners of Ying Shou's mouth rose slightly, and he said in a faint voice.

"Um……"

Yinyue nodded instinctively and responded.

"come..."

Suddenly, Ying Shou's face changed, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Yinyue couldn't help being startled by the sudden change.

"See His Majesty the Emperor, what orders does His Majesty have?"

Last night the guard hurried into the room, clasped his fists and said.

"What time is it now?"

Ying Shou asked the guard.

"Report to Your Majesty, it's the third quarter of the hour!"

The guard said respectfully.

"Well, I see, you go down!"

Ying Shou waved his hands, sat up and said.

"promise……"

The guard responded, turned and left.

Yinyue looked at Ying Shou with a puzzled face, not knowing that Ying Shou suddenly called the guards to ask what Shi Chen meant.

"Do you know what time Chen Shi is?"

Ying Shou once again stared at Yinyue with his lofty eyes, which made Yinyue feel uncomfortable.

"I……"

Yinyue panicked, not knowing how to answer.

"Do you know what will happen to you if you are in Xianyang today?"

Ying Shou said again.

"I……"

Yinyue was dumb for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"I tell you, if you are in Xianyang, I have to get up at the beginning of the fourth watch. As my personal maid, you should have someone prepare the imperial meal at the beginning of the third watch, and serve me at the beginning of the fourth watch to wash and change clothes, then eat, and then go to court. .”

"At this moment, it's the fifth watch to the sixth watch, and you are sleeping soundly here. According to the laws and regulations of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are guilty of negligence. If you delay the morning court, you should be executed!"

Ying Shou said in a silent voice.

"so serious?"

Yinyue was startled, her face was filled with disbelief.

She has always believed that as an emperor, she should be the most idle person in the world. After all, she is superior and everyone has to serve him. No matter how bad she is, it is impossible for her to be restrained.

However, what Ying Shou said shocked her very much.

The so-called one watch and two watch, also known as time.

There are twelve hours in a day, also known as the twelve watch, but because watch is used to describe the night, so at most it is five watch.Of course, it can also be called shift later on, but more people still call it time.

At the time of the fourth watch, most ordinary people are sleeping soundly, yet the emperor wants to wake up to face the court, this is inconceivable in Yinyue's view.

"serious?"

Ying Shou sneered, and said: "The world is so big, our Daqin region alone is vast and boundless, and major events may happen at any moment."

"Every morning, if you delay for a moment, thousands of people may suffer."

"You said, is it serious to delay this matter from the fourth watch?"

While speaking, Ying Shou looked terrified.

In this regard, he did not exaggerate in any way.

It can be said that he got up at four o'clock, and then went to court at four o'clock, which was considered quite ample.

I remember that during the period of the first emperor, the first emperor often went to the court at three o'clock, causing all the officials to complain, that is the real hard work.

Calculated using the 24 hours of a day for future generations, this shift, also known as Zishi, is from eleven o'clock in the middle of the night to one o'clock in the morning.

The second watch, also known as Choushi, is from one to three in the morning.

The third watch is also called Yinshi, which is from three to five o'clock.

The fourth watch is also called Maoshi, which is from five o'clock to seven o'clock.

At [-]:[-] a.m. Mao, the emperor went to court at [-]:[-] a.m., at which time the rooster crowed, which was too early for ordinary people.

But if it is delayed until the third quarter of the hour, it will be serious. It is already nine o'clock, and most people are already working in full swing.
