There will be a day when I will go to court obediently.

Lou Xiao didn't get enough sleep. After being woken up by Lou Hong at the exact time, she was still in a daze and didn't like what the servants did to her.

She may not care about political affairs, but today she will be tried in front of civil and military officials. How can she not be present?

"There's no need to be so solemn." Lou Xiao raised her hand to block the servant's hand that was drawing her eyebrows. "I'm going to court, so it's better to be solemn."

Lou Hong, who was keen to prevent Lou Xiao from losing face for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, this time readily asked the servant to put down his overly strong attire.

As he put the crown on her head, he asked,

"Are you prepared for this crisis?"

"none."

Lou Xiao yawned, "I don't even know what they are accusing me of. I haven't even seen them."

Lou Hong glanced at her sleepy face and said hesitantly,

"Is it about Dan Yuan? Or something you did in the past..."

Lou Xiao was lost in thought for a while. "In the past? I've done a lot of things, but it's not necessary for them to travel thousands of miles to Beijing to sue me."

Lou Hong said "Oh" and thought to himself, what about your life experience?

But others can say it, but he can't say it.

Lou Xiao could see the unnatural look on Lou Hong's face through the mirror. He seemed to have something on his mind that he didn't intend to tell her.

But she was too lazy to ask. Lou Hong was at the right age, and maybe he wanted to remarry, or he had other thoughts.

I am not qualified to ask.

After packing everything, Lou Xiao sat in a carriage and, like all the officials in the capital's central government, slowly headed towards the palace as the morning star just rose.

Going to court was a tough job, and Lou Xiao had refused to do it at first. Unexpectedly, now he had to get up early to watch the civil and military officials fight.

Even though she might be the one to fight against today, Lou Xiao was not anxious or nervous, but rather looking forward to it.

Along the way, I met many strange officials, who gathered in groups of three or four.

He was very respectful in front of her, but there was no way of knowing what he was like in private.

She was of high status, so she naturally stood at the head of the group of officials. At the order given by the servant, all the officials walked into the spacious main hall in an orderly manner.

Lou Xiao looked straight ahead, not panicking even though it was her first time participating, and quietly waited for Her Majesty the Queen to take her seat.

Lou Xiao, together with many officials, performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, shouting "Long live the emperor".

At this moment, Lou Xiao truly realized the weight of the word "Emperor".

It was not the elder senior sister who was easy to talk to in front of her, but the queen who was the ruler of a country and in the highest position.

After the ceremony, Lou Xiao looked up and saw Her Majesty the Queen looking at her with satisfaction.

This is what the Queen wants. She hopes that Lou Xiao can truly play a role as the Duke of Zhenguo in the court.

It's just that she was too lazy to do it before, and only stood here today.

"My dear minister, please stand up." The Queen said to Lou Xiao with her eyes, and then the next sentence was, "Do you have anything important to report today?"

Lou Xiao was stunned for a moment. She would never bring things to the court, so this question should not be asked to her.

Soon someone answered, "Your Majesty! I have something to report!

The other day, someone rang the drum in front of the government office in Beijing, risking his own life to sue Lou Xiao for pretending to be a descendant of the Lou family, deceiving the world and stealing the name, his crime is unforgivable!"

Lou Xiao raised her eyebrows, looked at the imperial censor who jumped out, and said with a smile, "Since you said so, why not let them all come to the court and have a good discussion.

How did I deceive the world and hide the truth from Your Majesty?"
