Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 130 The Empress Refuses to Serve the Emperor (3)

I can't scare my sister anymore!

Duan Jiufeng gripped his pen, repeatedly telling himself to take it slow. He calmly picked up the memorial, strained his ears, and kept a close eye on his sister's movements.

There was complete silence behind me; not a sound could be heard.

Why is she so quiet? Could she be asleep? My sister loves to sleep, so that's quite possible.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement. Duan Jiufeng endured it for a long time, but he couldn't bear it any longer. Holding the memorial in one hand and propping his forehead up with the other, he glanced at the bed casually.

There was a screen in front of the bed, so I couldn't see anything!

So angry!

Why are there screens?

Duan Jiufeng stared at the screen for another half an hour. His neck was stiff before he finally turned around.

I looked up at the night sky; the moon was high in the sky. It was time to rest.

Without hesitation, Duan Jiufeng pushed the memorial aside, tiptoed to his feet, and was startled when he realized what he was doing.

What am I doing right now?

He is now the emperor, the ruler of the world, the supreme sovereign. Lying on the bed is his empress, his wife, whom he married with great ceremony and lavish gifts.

His sister could tell something was wrong at a glance!

Duan Jiufeng stood tall and strode quietly behind the screen. The faint candlelight shone through the screen, its warm yellow glow adding a touch of gentle tranquility to Qin Baobao.

Qin Baobao was fast asleep, completely unaware that she was being watched. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care; in the face of absolute power, everything else was insignificant.

As for learning etiquette?

Go away! Don't disturb my sleep! Can't we do it tomorrow?

elder sister!

Seeing Qin Baobao lying peacefully on the bed, Duan Jiufeng felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He was the emperor, she was the empress, and she should lie in the same bed with him and be buried in the same tomb after death.

The Emperor and Empress should be together!

Duan Jiufeng carefully climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Qin Baobao. He instantly felt as if he had entered a dreamlike fairyland, his whole being filled with a sense of unreality.

Sister, sister! Sister…

Duan Jiufeng kept repeating in his heart, hoping that this moment could last forever.

After a while, Duan Jiufeng was no longer satisfied with just lying together. He moved closer to Qin Baobao and gently rested his head on her shoulder.

A smile spread across my face, and I felt a surge of joy in my heart.

Sister, you're mine! We'll get closer and closer until I catch you!

Duan Jiufeng was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. During the morning court session, he changed his clothes and went out without letting anyone in.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the Empress's rest!" Despite not having slept all night, Duan Jiufeng was still full of energy, his eyes shining.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she immediately returned to normal.

Stepping outside, he remained the same cold, dignified, and unapproachable emperor.

As the person who had been with his master the longest, Xiao Li was the first to notice the light and cheerful feeling in Duan Jiufeng's steps.

Did the Emperor and Empress do something good last night? I didn't hear about them calling for water last night either.

He pulled over the eunuch next to him and they exchanged a few words silently.

The result was that last night was very peaceful, and no sound was heard.

Little Li lowered his head, no longer daring to speculate in his own mind. The Emperor was a wise and virtuous ruler throughout the ages, whose intelligence and wisdom far surpassed that of ordinary people since childhood. How could a servant like him possibly speculate about him? It was more important to do his job well.

During court sessions, the officials clearly sensed that today's emperor was different from those of the past. This was specifically evident in the case of Lord Zhang.

Lord Zhang's son wrote a poem alluding to the emperor, which should have resulted in the execution of his entire family. However, considering Lord Zhang's past loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism, the emperor was merciful and sentenced them all to exile.

Throughout history, there have been numerous cases of people who, unable to control their tongues, brought about their own deaths and the extermination of their entire clans.

But today, the emperor, contrary to his usual practice, summoned Lord Zhang and his son. Lord Zhang was reinstated, and his son, Zhang Liang, not only escaped punishment but also became the emperor's personal bodyguard. The emperor also approved of several other trivial matters.

The whole thing was so unbelievable, it was truly astonishing. Even so, no one dared to imitate Lord Zhang's son; one wrong move and they could lose their head. Who would dare take such a shortcut?

Hearing this result, it would be a lie to say the court officials weren't shocked. Every now and then, some would steal glances at the emperor on his throne, wondering if he had been switched with another man. Otherwise, why would they have treated today's events so lightly?

The emperor on the throne was majestic, cold, and aloof—still the same emperor! Not a single bit changed!

The courtiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, putting their minds at ease. Could it be something to do in the inner palace? They had to find out after court.

The court officials found out that everything was calm and peaceful, the only difference being that the emperor had returned to the inner palace after court.

The current emperor inherited the late emperor's will to be diligent in governing and love the people, and was even more diligent than the late emperor, never entering the inner palace during the day.

But today, they broke with tradition and went to Fengqi Palace immediately after court.

The one in Fengqi Palace isn't anything special! She became the Crown Princess when the current Emperor was still the Crown Prince, and after all these years... could she be pregnant?

Those who guessed this brightened up. They exchanged glances and began subtly currying favor with Minister Wang. (Minister Wang was the original owner's father.)

Born to the Empress and being the eldest son, he will undoubtedly become the Crown Prince. He might even become the next Emperor. That's a bit far-fetched, but currying favor with the Emperor's father-in-law is still necessary.

Duan Jiufeng ignored everyone's speculations and went to Fengqi Palace immediately after court. He was afraid his sister would wake up and not see him, so he walked quickly, and Xiao Li had to jog to keep up.

Once inside the palace, they slowed their pace. The messenger, seeing the emperor in broad daylight, was momentarily surprised, then immediately rushed into the palace.

When Duan Jiufeng went in, Aunt Liu was by the bedside trying to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, wake up! The Emperor is here! If you are really sleepy, you can go back to sleep after the Emperor leaves."

Aunt Liu grabbed Qin Baobao's sleeve and tried to drag her up.

Qin Baobao frowned slightly, feeling extremely annoyed. From birth until now, no one had ever dared to disturb her sleep. She was sound asleep when someone kept buzzing in her ear—who could tolerate that? Just as Qin Baobao was about to explode in anger, a voice suppressing its fury rang out.

"How dare you! You audacious servant, how dare you touch the Empress like this?" Duan Jiufeng strode over, pulled her aside, gently laid Qin Baobao down, and covered her with a blanket.

Those masters in the backyard who didn't want to get up early to pay their respects all went through this. Liu Qing's movements were perfectly natural; she pulled the person with her right hand and supported their head with her left, as gently as if she were handling a baby.

Even though Liu Qing's actions were perfectly normal, Duan Jiufeng felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Duan Jiufeng just couldn't stand how people treated his sister. His sister was like the bright moon in the sky, and she should be cherished and allowed to get up whenever she wanted.

This lackey actually tried to pull my sister out of bed. What right does she have to do that?

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!" Liu Qing immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing until his head was bruised, but he did not stop, hoping that the emperor would be lenient with him.

Hearing the dull thud of someone kowtowing, Duan Jiufeng's eyes flashed even more fiercely.

What is she doing? If she's so capable, she should just kill herself right now.

Not only did he disturb his sister's sleep, but he also planned to ruin his image in her eyes!

With his head kowtowed like that, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the kind of tyrant who couldn't distinguish between good and evil and only knew how to punish his servants!

You scoundrel! Your intentions are malicious; you deserve to be punished!
