Long Live the Empress

The old lady ordered Yue Yuyan to stay at home until the Fourth Prince's Mansion came to pick her up!

"Miss, this punishment is too light! She spread rumors everywhere to destroy your innocence, but she was only punished with a whip and house arrest? Humph, such a vicious person should be kicked out of the family, which is the family tradition! Is the old lady getting senile?" Agate was holding a pair of scissors and angrily cutting an ornamental pine.

"My grandmother is the smartest! Her light punishment and stern warning can appease me without offending Yue Yuyan, haha..."

Yue Jinghao already knew what kind of person the old lady was, so she was not angry.

"This can only be seen with the Nine Thousand Years Old's own eyes. If you believe the rumors, let alone the meeting, even if the engagement is settled, it will probably be cancelled! I am just so angry. The young lady is such a good person, she has done nothing wrong, why should she be slandered for no reason!" Agate became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she cut off the beautiful ornamental tree until not a single leaf was left.

"Okay, I know you feel sorry for me, just wait and see!" Yue Jing felt so sorry for her ornamental tree that she took the scissors from Agate's hand.

"Then I will help the young lady to go to bed..." Agate turned around angrily to tidy up the bed, but when she was spreading the quilt, Agate seemed to have placed the quilt in the shape of Yue Yuyan and slapped it hard a few times.

Yue Jinghao shook her head and smiled helplessly, then let her go.

Yue Jinghao had just laid down when she heard Manjue call out softly, "Meet the Nine Thousand Year Old..."

Yue Jinghao sat up and looked at the person who came.

Yan Liyuan was wearing a dark black robe, a gold and jade belt, and no crown on his head, only a jade hairpin. Under the flickering candlelight, his cold and gloomy face seemed to soften a little.

Yan Liyuan stood at the door and looked at Yue Jinghao with a smile.

"Why are you standing there?" Yue Jinghao regretted it right after she said it. It seemed like she was inviting...

Yan Liyuan saw the regret on Yue Jinghao's face and joked, "Jing'er, don't worry. I just came in from outside, so I feel a little cold. I'll go over after the coldness wears off! After all... Jing'er has been taking care of the princess day and night, and her body is very weak. If she gets the cold from me again, it will be bad!"

Yue Jinghao blushed and said, "You know everything? This is something that my mother and I have discussed. I can't say that I am going to take care of you, right?"

Yan Liyuan rubbed his hands, feeling less cold, and sat down beside Yue Jinghao's couch: "I... couldn't ask for more!"

"You!" Yue Jinghao choked and snorted, "Could it be that you are in cahoots with them? Are you here to ruin my innocent reputation?"

Yan Liyuan played with Yue Jinghao's hair a few times and said, "I can't wait to tell others that Jing'er's heart belongs to me..."

"Who...whose heart belongs to you! Stop being so conceited!"

Yan Liyuan put his handsome face in front of Yue Jinghao and smiled evilly: "As long as Jing'er thinks I'm beautiful, that's enough!"

Yan Liyuan's voice was deep and magnetic, and coupled with his face that made people hate him, Yue Jinghao was stunned for a moment.

Yan Liyuan was very satisfied with Yue Jinghao's reaction. He scratched Yue Jinghao's nose lovingly and said, "Wipe your saliva quickly!"

Yue Jinghao subconsciously wanted to wipe it with the back of her hand, but her expression suddenly changed: "Who... who is drooling?"

Yan Liyuan ignored Yue Jinghao's struggle and embraced her in his arms, "I only allow Jing'er to drool over me..."

Yue Jing bit Yan Liyuan's neck shyly...

Yan Liyuan didn't cry out in pain, and even encouraged her: "Jing'er, try harder!"

Facing such a shameless Yan Liyuan, even the calm and rational Yue Jinghao had no choice but to push Yan Liyuan away in anger, lie down, and close her eyes...

"I am going to sleep, please, Lord Nine Prince..."

Silence...

Yue Jinghao thought Yan Liyuan had left, so she secretly opened her eyes a little, only to find that Yan Liyuan had taken off all his clothes except his underwear...

"You're not going to sleep here, are you?" There was indescribable astonishment in his tone...

Yan Liyuan didn't answer, but just lay down on the couch, hugged Yue Jinghao, and covered her with a quilt.

……

"You were at the Princess's Residence last night, chatting with the eldest princess for a long time, so it was not convenient for me to go..."

Yue Jing understood Yan Liyuan's words. It was inconvenient last night, but it is convenient tonight...

"My couch is small..." Yue Jinghao said.

"It's okay, just squeeze in!"

Yue Jinghao knew that Yan Liyuan couldn't be driven away, so she let him be.

"Jing'er, I miss you... Do you... miss me?" Yan Liyuan's tone was full of expectation.

Yue Jinghao was silent for a moment before she uttered a low "hmm".

Yan Liyuan was satisfied, and he placed a kiss on Yue Jinghao's forehead, saying, "Go to sleep... I will come to announce the decree tomorrow!"

"Um……"

Yue Jinghao found a comfortable position, curled up in Yan Liyuan's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, morning

Yan Liyuan, who had not attended court for more than half a month, also came. He was wearing a purple robe with gold thread and four claws, a purple gold crown on his head, leaning on a gilded chair, playing with the purse he had "robbed" from Yue Jinghao last night.

Why say "grab"?

Because Yue Jinghao felt that the purse was still missing a few stitches, she asked Yan Liyuan to wait a few more days. However, Yan Liyuan felt that the purse was perfect, so he hung it around his waist regardless of Yue Jinghao's objection.

During the previous spring examination, many new faces flooded into the court, and it was also the first time for them to see the true face of the legendary Nine Thousand Years Old.

Really... handsome...

It's really cold...

Especially those obsidian eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts...

A new official secretly glanced at Yan Liyuan, but "happened" to meet that sharp gaze and immediately lowered his head in fear.

More than half of the officials submitted memorials to impeach Yue Hanwen, saying that the legitimate daughter of the Yue family was punished and beaten by Yue Hanwen for taking care of the eldest princess when she was ill. This was disrespectful to the eldest princess and contempt for the emperor's authority!

"…………Your Majesty, our Wei country is based on benevolence and filial piety. Lord Yue is like this. He is disloyal to the country and unkind to his family. People like Lord Yue who are disloyal and unkind are against the teachings of the emperor, and they are not worthy of receiving the court salary and being loved by the people! Please be clear, Your Majesty!"

The man who was speaking had a handsome face, calm features, and a bit of a bookish air, but he was not restrained at all and was very logical in front of the old emperor.

Wang Yi stepped forward and whispered in Yan Liyuan's ear: "This is the new champion Kong Lin'an, currently a fifth-rank doctor."

Kong Linan?

Kong Linan, the one Jing'er praised so much?

Yan Liyuan paused his hand that was playing with the purse. The aura around him became cold and the look he gave Kong Linan became fierce.

Kong Linan also felt that a pair of unfriendly eyes were staring at him, but he did not look in the direction. He just lowered his head and waited for the old emperor to speak.

Everyone also knelt on the ground, echoing Kong Linan and scolding Yue Hanwen.

Yue Han's text was not taken seriously by the official Weibo account that was demoted, and now he felt as if he was in an ice cave, with cold all over.

"Your Majesty, please look carefully. I really don't know..."
