Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Damn it, it’s a good thing that she is a princess. Apart from these two people, she doesn’t have to bow to anyone else. Otherwise, she would be like the courtiers below, kneeling every time she sees someone. Her knees would be crippled within three days.

I just don’t know if Duan Yunzheng will get used to it. With his personality, I’m not sure if he will be forced to stand in the hall just for a little pride.

Feeling a little worried, Xiao Yue quietly raised her head and searched the crowd kneeling below.

Fortunately, no one was standing. I guess he was a man who knew the times.

"Flat body."

A woman's voice echoed throughout the Taihe Palace, and everyone stood up.

Only then did I see the appearance of the emperor and the empress dowager.

The emperor looked to be only in his thirties. If one did not know that his real age was in his forties or close to fifty, one would have thought he was a young man.

The gilded hanging beads swayed slightly with the emperor's every move, and he looked at people with his eyes slightly lowered, making people feel oppressive.

There was some beard on the chin, which was very well trimmed and smooth, and looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

The empress dowager was even more dignified, wearing a black phoenix satin robe that was embroidered with gold threads stitch by stitch. Judging from her face, she and the emperor looked more like sister and brother than mother and son.

Xiao Yue was so busy looking at the two legendary figures that she just now realized her embarrassing situation. She actually wanted to sit in the position of the big boss just now. Was she tired of living?

The emperor and the empress dowager in front of her were looking at her with stern eyes. She didn't need to look back to know how the huge crowd behind them were staring at her intently.

What kind of large Shura field is this!

"Why is Chaoyang standing there?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Yue who was standing in front of him in surprise. He couldn't quite understand why this girl was standing there with a large bunch of plum blossoms in her arms.

"Your Majesty, this is the most beautiful branch I picked in the Imperial Garden. I brought it here specially to place next to my grandmother's seat, but before I could do so, you guys came." Xiao Yue smiled slightly, shook her hands twice, and held the plum blossom in her arms.

Originally, this plum blossom was given as a gift, but not to the empress dowager but to the emperor. Unfortunately, the biggest boss showed up halfway, so he has to save his life first, right?

After taking a look at the dignified old lady sitting upright, Xiao Yue suddenly came up with an idea.

"Grandma hasn't come out of Shouning Palace for a long time, and she doesn't allow anyone to pay their respects to you. I miss you so much." As he said this, he squatted down to the left side of the old lady, acting like a spoiled child.

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "You are so old now, and you are already the crown prince. Why are you still acting like a spoiled child? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the ministers below?"

Although he said this, he did not show any intention to stop his granddaughter from doing something that would undermine his reputation.

Xiao Yue shook her head repeatedly, and looked around at the people below with a light look, "Who dares to laugh at me? They don't have a grandmother themselves, so can't they bear to see others have a grandmother?"

Then he insisted, "I don't care. I just want to sit next to my grandmother."

This was the New Year's Eve banquet. This grand festival was not like other formal occasions. It was all about having fun. So the hypocritical queen mother would probably not stop her from taking a seat.

"Chaoyang, what are you talking about? Go back to your seat quickly." The emperor said in a deep voice, pointing at the seat below the empress dowager.

Some distance away from the Queen Mother.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but squint her eyes. That wouldn't do. If the Queen Mother wanted to murder her only granddaughter, then she couldn't blame her for dragging her into this risk of death.

Anyway, she won't die, the emperor's death warriors will jump out to save her.

"Grandma~"

The old lady's eyes flashed with disgust, but she didn't show it on her face. She said to Xiao Yue in a friendly manner, "In that case, Emperor, please let your grandson sit with me."

The emperor had no choice but to endure the Empress Dowager's words in person, as he could not save face in front of all the civil and military officials.

The goal was achieved successfully. When the palace maid was moving the chair, Xiao Yue met the gaze of Duan Yunzheng below. Duan Yunzheng closed his eyes and no longer looked at her. Xiao Yue understood that someone was probing her gaze, so she pretended to just glance at the civil and military officials, and then retracted her gaze.

"My dear ministers, tonight is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year."

When the emperor spoke, the already quiet hall became even quieter.

"This year, the harvest was good, and the people who worked hard all reaped a good harvest. The granaries across the country were full, and it was a rare bumper year."

"So I'm holding a banquet to offer sacrifices. First, to thank you for the abundance of our family today;

Secondly, we pray that the coming year will also be a year of good harvest.”

The opening remarks are over.

Leaders should reward some people, remind some people, and punish some people. After a series of processes, they can finally draw a pie to encourage everyone.

And Xiao Qi on the stage did indeed start rewarding some officials just as Xiao Yue knew.

"For his meritorious service in compiling the records, Duan Yunzheng, a fourth-rank lower-level official, is rewarded with 100 taels of silver and promoted to a fourth-rank upper-level official."

The long and slender voice gave Xiao Yue a startle.

His eyes fell on Duan Yunzheng who came forward to thank the emperor for his grace.

Logically speaking, Duan Yunzheng should have been reincarnated as this Duan Yunzheng, so why did he become Chu Yi?

With this doubt, I looked down. I saw a man walking out from a red civilian suit. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and his temperament made people admire his purity and chastity.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Duan Yunzheng, bows to express his gratitude." After saying this, he thanked the emperor and the princess fluently.

Xiao Yue saw that although this person's figure was slightly different from her childhood friend, being thinner, they looked exactly the same.

But Xiao Yue's bold and scrutinizing gaze made Duan Yunzheng look up and glance at Xiao Yue with a meaningful look.

"Back!" As the eunuch shouted, Duan Yunzheng retreated after performing the ceremony and once again stood among the crowd of civil servants.

Xiao Yue's gaze followed them like a shadow, allowing everyone to detect the scent of gossip.

All officials are well-informed, and can receive information quickly about things happening in the capital, especially those concerning nobles.

It is said that Princess Chaoyang fell in love with General Zhenbei's only son Duan Yunzheng at first sight. Although there were already several men in the palace, Duan Yunzheng had a good appearance, was knowledgeable, and was at the right age, so it was not surprising that the princess fell in love with him. Several daughters of the capital cried bitterly when they heard that the princess fell in love with Duan Yunzheng.

The strange thing is that this time the princess seems not just playing around, she actually wants to marry Master Duan.

Then place her that backyard.

Afterwards, the princess invited Master Duan to go on a boat trip, but the boat sank in the middle of the lake and he almost lost his life.

During this period, all civil and military officials did not dare to visit Princess Chaoyang, for fear of bringing bad luck to the princess.

Now that I see the princess is so worried, I think the rumors are not unbelievable.

By the time all the rewards and punishments were given out, it was almost noon.

Even though Xiao Yue had a chair to sit on, she had not had a chance to eat a hot meal since she got up before the rooster crowed to wash and change her clothes until the sun was directly overhead.

Although Qingmei and Qinglan had prepared some pastries before we came, they were no longer useful.

Xiao Yue was so hungry now that she had no time to care about what to do with these two Duan Yunzhengs.

She just wanted to have a party.

She wants to eat.

She was starving.

People who work hard have a strong spirit of work, and those who work hard are the best.
