The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day

The next morning, the sun was exceptionally bright, as if nothing had happened last night.

After packing her luggage, Su Yueqing was about to go to the palace to take the 100,000 troops left by the prince to the border for support.

However, before he could tell Bai Shao to prepare the carriage, the carriage from the palace arrived.

"Princess, Eunuch Li is here." Bai Shao came in and reported.

Eunuch Li followed Bai Shao and came over, "Princess, the emperor asks you to go to the imperial court."

"The imperial palace?" Su Yueqing's eyes flashed with doubt, "Shouldn't it be the harem?"

She was not an official of Bei Ming. Logically speaking, it was early morning and she should not be qualified to go to the court hall.

Eunuch Li smiled and shook his head, "The princess will know when she goes there."

Su Yueqing looked at Eunuch Li's slightly mysterious expression and couldn't help but feel a little more curious, but she didn't ask any more questions. She took Bai Zhi and Bai Shao into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

"Princess, we're here." Bai Shao lifted the car curtain and got out first.

Su Yueqing jumped off the carriage, looked up at the majestic palace gate, and walked over.

Eunuch Li followed closely behind Su Yueqing.

After entering the palace today to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I don’t know when I will enter the palace next time.

Now that the situation at the border is becoming increasingly critical, she must leave quickly.

At the palace gate, someone was already waiting for Su Yueqing. When he saw her coming, he stepped forward respectfully and bowed deeply.

"Princess, the emperor is waiting for you in the hall and has specially asked us two to come and pick you up." One of the guards said.

Su Yueqing nodded, turned around and said to Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, "You go to the palace of the emperor's sister-in-law and wait for me first. After seeing the emperor, I will come to find you."

Bai Zhi and Bai Shao looked at each other, slightly puzzled. What was the emperor trying to do? Why did he let their princess go to the court?

But they didn't think much about it. After all, the emperor would not harm the princess, so they just waited quietly.

"Yes, Princess." The two said in unison.

"Please come in, Princess." Two guards stood behind Su Yueqing and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let's go." Su Yueqing quickened her pace, followed by Eunuch Li and two guards.

In the court, all the officials looked at each other, knowing that today's morning court would be unusual.

After all, Prince An’s rebellion caused a lot of commotion last night.

Many of them were attending the wedding banquet at Prince An's Mansion and witnessed the rebellion with their own eyes. They were so frightened that they did not sleep well the whole night.

There were obviously fewer ministers attending the morning court today than usual.

Su Hean and Zhao Shengshi are dead, and the officials who openly participated in the rebellion yesterday have been beheaded on the spot.

At the morning court today, the Emperor might want to settle the scores and clean up the remaining evildoers.

The ministers had different expressions. Some were calm and composed, quietly waiting for rewards. Some looked as if it had nothing to do with them and were just watching the fun. Still others were fidgeting and sweating profusely.

Xiao Jingzhan sat on it, sweeping away the expressions of the ministers below. Between his eyebrows, the youthfulness had completely faded away, and the majesty of the emperor was fully revealed.

When the time for the morning court session had arrived and the emperor did not make any move, the sound of whispers from the ministers gradually became audible.

The morning court is always on time, why hasn’t it started yet today?

Moreover, they discovered that the eunuch Li who was supposed to announce the start of the morning court session was not there beside the emperor.

After a moment of chaos, the sharp voice of Eunuch Li suddenly came from outside the hall.

"The Princess Regent has arrived!"

All the ministers turned around and were shocked when they saw Su Yueqing coming in.

The Emperor has been slow to start his morning court session. Is he waiting for the Regent?

But since ancient times, there has never been a precedent of women attending court sessions.

When Xiao Jingzhan saw Su Yueqing, a smile flashed across his serious face. He quickly stood up, walked down the stairs and walked towards Su Yueqing.

"Auntie Huang, you're here!"

Su Yueqing felt many eyes on her, and even she, who was always thick-skinned, felt a little restrained.

"Your Majesty, why did you call me over?" Su Yueqing whispered beside Xiao Jingzhan.

Xiao Jingzhan smiled and said, "The Queen's aunt will know later."

Then, Xiao Jingzhan said to Eunuch Li: "Bring a chair for the Queen Aunt."

Eunuch Li responded and hurriedly ordered his servants to bring up the chairs that had been prepared in advance.

After hearing this, the ministers' shocked faces became even more shocked, and they all had guesses in their minds.

Su Yueqing made great contributions last night. She played an indispensable role in suppressing the rebellion.

Everyone wondered whether the emperor bestowed her with the highest honor as a sign of respect.

"Please take a seat, Auntie." Xiao Jingzhan was gentle and respectful, not showing any imperial airs in front of Su Yueqing.

Su Yueqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please go up to the stage and take a seat first."

Xiao Jingzhan knew that the imperial aunt was concerned about his dignity as an emperor, so he didn't say much and walked up the stairs, with Eunuch Li following behind him.

After sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Jingzhan then extended his hand to Su Yueqing, motioning her to take a seat.

Only after seeing the emperor take his seat did Su Yueqing sit down.

The standing ministers looked at Su Yueqing who was sitting, with envy in their eyes. They could not enjoy such treatment.

Eunuch Li cleared his throat, waved his whisk, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "The morning court begins!"

Hearing the voice, all the ministers knelt down with serious expressions.

Su Yueqing also stood up and bowed slightly.

Xiao Jingzhan nodded at her, then turned his gaze to the ministers and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the minister stood up, Xiao Jingzhan said, "I'm sure you all know about Prince An Xiao Moyao's rebellion last night. What do you think?"

Xiao Jingzhan's voice was flat, as if he was explaining a trivial matter.

Imperial Tutor Lu walked to the center of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Prince An was guilty of treason and has now been executed, eliminating the scourge of the Northern Ocean."

"As for Prince An's accomplices, the Emperor should hunt them all down to prevent future troubles."

Master Lu was not present at last night's incident. He has always been aloof and proud, outspoken and righteous, and he disdains to curry favor with the powerful, so naturally he is not afraid of offending others.

This morning, I heard my colleagues talking about what happened yesterday and I regretted that I was not able to be by the emperor's side to protect him.

Xiao Jingzhan nodded repeatedly. What Master Lu said was exactly what he was thinking.

Now, he wants to use Xiao Moyao's rebellion to completely eradicate the cancer in the court and clean up the government.

Master Lu then looked in the direction of Su Yueqing and continued, "The Princess Regent played an indispensable role in suppressing the rebels this time. Her methods were impressive and not inferior to those of men."

Last night, Su Yueqing's glorious deeds in suppressing the rebellion were widely spread and known to the whole city.

"Among my students, no one is as brave and resourceful as the Regent Princess." Master Lu praised frankly, his tone full of praise and admiration for Su Yueqing.

He originally thought that Su Yueqing was just a talented person who could play a piece like "Pipa Xing", but now it seems that he had underestimated this Regent Princess.

Su Yueqing was flattered by the praise. This Master Lu was always super supportive. He had always spoken for her before and now he couldn't stop praising her. Su Yueqing respected him very much.

"Master Lu, thank you for your compliment." Su Yueqing stood up and saluted.

Master Lu waved his hand, "What I said is the truth, not flattery."

"It's a pity that the princess is a woman. If she were a man, she would definitely have achieved something different." There was a flash of regret in Master Lu's eyes.

If Su Yueqing were a man, he would probably be the only person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Regent and share equal brilliance.

When Su Yueqing heard this, she shook her head in disapproval. Why couldn't women achieve something just like men?

Although Taifu Lu was honest and upright, he was a scholar after all and was somewhat pedantic.

"What if I say that women can also serve as officials in the court and fight in the battlefield?" Xiao Jingzhan's voice came down faintly from above, his tone was serious and solemn, without any sign of joking.

Not only the ministers below were shocked, but even Su Yueqing was shocked.

There was no precedent of women serving as officials in Beiming. Su Yueqing did not expect that Xiao Jingzhan, as a superior, would have such advanced ideas.
