Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 223 The foolishly happy Zhan Doudou and the three elders who knelt down as soon as they met!
After hearing her words, the people immediately and consciously moved to both sides.

Soon, a path was cleared for the carriage to pass.

Without waiting for Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou to say anything, the people knelt on the ground again in unison.

"I wish the Queen and His Majesty to live in harmony and cultivate together for thousands of years!!"

The neat words echoed in the street, and before the words were finished, the people kowtowed in unison.

After hearing what they said, the words that Zhan Doudou was about to say were immediately suppressed. The corners of her lips unconsciously rose up, and she couldn't suppress them no matter what.

Chen Luo gave the Jinyiwei a look, then looked at the silly-looking Zhan Doudou, and turned back to the carriage with amusement and helplessness.

He also dragged the grinning Zhan Doudou back into the carriage.

He was afraid that if he didn't help Zhan Doudou, she would just smile foolishly here for an hour or two!

By then, the rumor that the little emperor of Northern Qi was an idiot would spread throughout the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, and even the entire world!

After Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou returned to the carriage, the Jinyiwei immediately started driving towards the royal ancestral hall.

The Jinyiwei on both sides of the road held the handles of the Embroidered Spring Swords in their hands, their eyes as sharp as eagles, always observing the unusual things around them.

In the carriage, Zhan Doudou still had that silly and cheerful look on her face, the difference was that this time she was staring at Chen Luo, her burning gaze seemed to see through Chen Luo.

“How does it feel to be in the public eye?”

Chen Luo ignored Zhan Doudou's gaze, calmly straightened the wrinkles on his phoenix robe, and smoothed out Zhan Doudou's dragon robe.

What happened just now was just a small episode for him.

In fact, for a moment, he thought that these people were pawns bought by Emperor Qing, used to stop them from going to the royal ancestral temple and disrupt the ceremony of crowning the queen!

After all, using the common people to block the road is far more practical and more effective than bribing ministers and making trouble at the ceremony of conferring the queen!
The people were blocking the road. Even though we knew that they were being bribed, there were so many of them that any rash action would surely cause negative comments!
The people's morale that the Northern Qi Dynasty had just gathered would probably collapse in an instant!

But if we don’t take action, we won’t be able to go to the royal ancestral temple, and the ceremony of conferring the queen won’t be able to go on!

That is another unsolvable situation!

Even if he has a way to break the impasse, it will come at a price!
However, he still overestimated Emperor Qing, and may have underestimated the people's sense of belonging to Northern Qi!
“What does it feel like to be supported by the people?”

Zhan Doudou, who was staring at Chen Luo with a silly smile, fell into deep thought after hearing this.

The carriage suddenly fell into silence, with only the slight sound of Chen Luo adjusting his robe and the breathing of the two people.

The people on both sides of the carriage kept bowing their heads, and their good wishes were transmitted into the carriage and clearly fell into Zhan Doudou's ears.

Listening to those sincere blessings, Zhan Doudou's lips curved up again, and he had some answers to Chen Luo's questions.

“It feels good to have the support of the people. It’s like I’ve done something and I’m being thanked!”

"But when I think about it carefully, you are the one who is really doing things, not me! The people should be grateful to you, not me!"

"I am not a qualified emperor. I have not allowed them to live a life of plenty. Instead, I have made them suffer!"

When Zhan Doudou said this, she became depressed, the smile on her face disappeared, and was replaced by sadness. She grew up in the palace disguised as a man, and there were only a few people she knew!
Before this, she had never felt that there was anything wrong in acting out that drama with the Queen Mother in order to conceal the fact that she was a daughter.

But now looking at these people, she suddenly felt guilty. If she were not an incompetent emperor and could not truly hold power, her daily worry would be whether her identity would be exposed!
Then these people would definitely not have such a hard life, right?
"Husband and wife are one body. What I do is what you do, too."

"How could I do those things without your support behind me?"

"Now that we are in the right place, you don't have to worry too much. There is no absolute right or wrong in many things. Just like I told you before, this world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray!"

Chen Luo held Zhan Doudou's hand with one hand and rubbed her head with the other hand to soothe her sad mood.

When he asked Zhan Doudou this question, his original intention was to make Zhan Doudou understand what the people's will represents!
Although the result was different from what he expected, it was not much different!
Now Zhan Doudou should have a real understanding of the people's sentiments!

But at the same time, the more vividly she felt it, the more she blamed herself!
After all, it was her irresponsible behavior in the past that caused Northern Qi to become such a mess today!

Although she cannot be blamed for this, it may be the best choice for her!

However, Zhan Doudou obviously doesn’t think so, and his comfort is of little use. This can only be figured out by Zhan Doudou himself!
The past cannot be changed, but the future can be changed!

Instead of dwelling on the past, think about changing the future!
"Husband and wife are one..."

Zhan Doudou muttered to herself, and subconsciously held Chen Luo's hand again. A smile appeared on her face again, and she returned to her previous infatuated look, staring at Chen Luo's profile in a daze.

Chen Luo ignored her and let her stare at him. He closed his eyes and began to rest.

Soon, the sounds of people outside bowing and worshipping gradually disappeared, replaced by silence and a solemnity that permeated the air.

Even Zhan Doudou, who was still drooling at Chen Luo, stopped looking weird and became serious.

"Empress, Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Royal Ancestral Temple!"

"Three elders from the royal clan are waiting outside to receive you!"

After the Jinyiwei who was driving the carriage finished speaking, he lifted a corner of the curtain on the carriage.

Upon hearing that the clan elders were coming to welcome him, Zhan Doudou immediately stood up and took Chen Luo out of the carriage.

Compared to her eagerness, Chen Luo had a blank expression on his face.

Zhan Doudou had no idea what kind of people these royal clan members were, and treated them as his elders.

But he knew what kind of stuff these were!
I didn't let the Imperial Guards behead all these people because I thought it would not cause unnecessary trouble!
When the ceremony of enthroning the queen is over, there will be no more royal family members in Northern Qi!
"Three elders, you are old, how can you come to greet us in person?"

"You really flatter me and the queen!"

Zhan Doudou looked at the three pale elders with concern, and while speaking, he gestured to the Jinyiwei beside him to come forward and support them.

The three elders who were supported by the Jinyiwei turned even paler, and the smiles on their faces became uglier than crying. The moment they saw Chen Luo, the three elders immediately broke free from the Jinyiwei's restraints.

Without hesitation, he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and saluted with a trembling voice: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although I am old, I still want to welcome Your Majesty and the Queen in person!"
