Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

The morning breeze brought the sound of carriage bells. Cars and sedans stopped in front of the palace gate, and more and more people came.

Ji Zhen knew that she couldn't stay for long, so she glanced at Ye Feng behind her. Ye Feng stretched out his hand and took the little servant to the corner like a chicken.

When the little servant first saw Ji Zhen last night, he knew that this prince was not easy to mess with. At this moment, when Ye Feng lifted up the back of his collar, he was so scared that his face turned pale, and he trembled and said repeatedly:

"Your Highness, my master was summoned to the palace early in the morning. I don't know why."

Ji Zhen frowned and continued to ask: "Whose order? Who conveyed the order?"

This really stumped the servant. The people who came to the palace were all female nobles, and he, a small male servant, didn't dare to look up. He scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said:

"To answer your Highness, I didn't dare to look, but I remember that she was wearing black leather boots with red edges and a bright red robe, like the eldest aunt in the palace. The eldest aunt smelled very good, like the scent of evening hairpin flowers."

Ji Zhen nodded and took a small gold bead from her purse to give to him, just to comfort him for being caught in the corner and being beaten. The waitress' eyes lit up when she saw the gold bead, and she looked at her with a sweet smile, and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness! My name is Chaoge. I came from the Kingdom of Yan with the Emperor...Master Keqing. If Your Highness does not mind, I am willing to serve you. I will tell you everything I know about the affairs in Master Keqing's mansion."

Seeing him opening and closing his mouth to show off his eloquence, Ji Zhen wished he could follow her to the palace to work. Instead, she frowned and snorted coldly:

"You are a good boy, but you sold out your master just for this golden bead. What is the punishment for being disloyal as a servant?"

Chaoge originally wanted to act nice and curry favor in front of Ji Zhen, but he didn't expect that she would look so gloomy and want to punish him. How could that be tolerated?

There was a thump, and a skinny little slave knelt down in front of Ji Zhen, who had a sullen face. His head was lowered so low that his appearance could not be seen, but his body trembled in the morning breeze, which made people feel a little distressed.

"Why is the Qingyan County Prince so irritable? He's scolding servants at the palace gate so early in the morning?"

"Look at that carriage, it seems to belong to the guest official. Tsk tsk tsk, the Qingyan County King really doesn't give His Highness Xian Yao any face at all."

"Is the relationship between Mr. Keqing and the Prince of Qingyan so bad?"

"Master Zhang, you don't know this, right? Come on, let's go together and I'll tell you."

The people who were eating melons and the groups of people going to the court secretly glanced at Ji Zhen from afar and walked slowly past. They said all kinds of things and their voices were not restrained. Ji Zhen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Get up." Ji Zhen patiently let Chaoge get up.

Chaoge responded crisply, got up swiftly, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Three parts well-behaved, seven parts likable, and clever from head to toe.

Ji Zhen even suspected that this guy was waiting for her by driving his car at the palace gate. She even felt that his kneeling just now was a bit deliberate, as if he was doing it for the officials to see, so that they would think that the relationship between the Prince of Qingyan and the guest official was so bad that even the servants in his house could not tolerate him.

Tsk, not really.

Ji Zhen looked at Chaoge uncertainly, but there was no flaw on his well-behaved face. So he leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Let me ask you, after your master went back yesterday, did he do anything... unusual?"

"Unusual movement?" Chaoge's expression suddenly became serious. He raised his head and muttered while thinking:

"Last night was Muyu's night. Grandpa Liu was at the gatehouse. I just stayed by the side to answer the call and went to bed early. But this morning Muyu told me that after the master came back, he sat in the room until four o'clock in the morning. This is the second time I've seen him like this since I came to the capital. It's scary."

the second time?

Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows, and without suppressing her curiosity, she asked directly, "When was the first time?"

Chaoge smiled upon hearing this, winked at her and said:

"The first time was when you, Your Highness, went to the northwest. Our Lord didn't sleep all night at that time."

"Oh." Ji Zhen gave him an expected look and snorted, "You still have some conscience."

It was already late, and Ji Zhen hadn't gotten any more information from Chaoge. She hurried into the palace, thinking as she walked:

The aunt mentioned by Chaoge should be the messenger beside the empress. Red robes and black boots are the basic attire of eunuchs, and only the hairpin with flowers on the head can distinguish the rank of the official. Unfortunately, Chaoge did not dare to look up, but the incense with flowers on the hairpin was only for the emperor. And the emperor loved to light this incense in the upper study.

So Ji Zhen was almost certain that it was the emperor who wanted Zhao Youqing to enter the palace. But he was just a guest official, why did the emperor summon him to the palace?

Ji Zhen was thinking all the way without any clues, and her face was a little gloomy as she stood in Xuanzheng Hall. She had just looked around the hall, and there was no trace of Zhao Youqing, which meant that he was in the emperor's study at the moment.

Either you are listening to the proclamation or you are meeting the emperor.

Ji Zhen glanced at the empty dragon throne, estimated the time, and thought that the emperor, who was always diligent, was actually late.

Does the emperor’s lateness have anything to do with Zhao Youqing’s entry into the palace?

Zhao Youqing described it like that. Although the empress was over fifty years old, she was still the empress after all. If she wanted, he was afraid he would not be able to refuse.

Then they...

Ji Zhen suddenly couldn't stop her imagination from wandering. The more she thought about it, the gloomier her face became, and the servants serving her couldn't help but tremble.

This appearance, and some people can't help but connect her with the rumors that happened outside the palace gate this morning. Several officials whispered to each other, and the result of eating melons came to the conclusion that Ji Zhen and Zhao Youqing were not on good terms.

This conclusion made many people very excited. After all, at the Spring Banquet, Ji Zhen was protecting Zhao Youqing like an old hen. Now, in just one night, the two of them had gotten to this point. People couldn't help but wonder what happened between them overnight.

In the huge Xuanzheng Hall, the civil and military officials who were waiting for the emperor to arrive were not discussing the official business under their jurisdiction, but were actually whispering to each other and eating melons. Ji Zhen, who was standing in the front row, rolled his eyes when he heard this.

As expected, the nature of human beings is to eat melons. It has never changed from ancient times to the present.

Just as everyone was enjoying the melon, a female official came out from behind the curtain, knocked three times on the dragon chair in the hall, and then stood at the door with her hands folded in a very solemn manner and shouted:

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and knelt down along with the female official, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

The empress, wearing a Phoenix Playing with Fire court dress, slowly sat on the dragon throne. Her sharp eyes swept over the ministers and stopped at Ji Zhendi. She smiled warmly at her and said:

"Prince Qingyan looks good. It seems that the Spring Banquet prepared by Xian Yao yesterday was good. I heard that you also got a male lover. Are you enjoying it?"
