"Ah~ I'm deeply grateful for the kindness of General Gao~ But I'm still a mortal, and I can't bear too much grace from the gods~ Even now, I still have trouble walking, and I feel a cool breeze under my crotch when I take a step..."
Cai Jing thanked him with a smile, but suddenly changed the subject mid-sentence: "Besides... your Excellency is about to ascend the throne. If I continue to pester him, wouldn't it be like... climbing into the emperor's bed and causing chaos in the palace?"
When Cai Jing said this, the female officials who were eavesdropping on her conversation behind her broke out in cold sweats.
They originally wanted to eavesdrop on the Prime Minister's report to help them decide on their side later.
But I didn't expect to hear such a shocking news!
Prime Minister Cai wants to push Gao Yanei into the palace? Even if we agree, the emperor won't agree!
But just as the female officials were uneasy, unsure whether to take sides, Gao Yue heard a hint of something. She couldn't help but chuckled, covering her lips with her jade hand, and said, "Even if that rebellious son ascends the throne, he still has to fulfill his priestly duties. Minister Cai, don't worry too much."
"Hehehe~ That's true~ But I really can't accept your kindness... Your Excellency has profound skills and great power, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people~" Cai Jingjiao laughed a few times and shook her head.
Gao Yue immediately understood what Cai Jing meant when she heard the phrase "profound skills." She still managed to keep a subtle smile and said, "It seems Prime Minister Cai is troubled by his rebellious son's bravery. If so, how about I pay him a visit another day and try to find an opportunity for him? The Emperor has even asked me to play Cuju with him today, so I'm really taking a break from my busy schedule."
"Oh? Then I would be disrespectful to refuse. I hope the general can accompany the emperor well! The emperor's happiness is the happiness of all the officials~" Cai Jing raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile.
"Hahahaha~ Let's have fun together~" Gao Yue responded with a knowing smile.
So, the head of the civil officials and the head of the five sense organs exchanged a few moves in a few words, and after they were tied, they looked at each other and smiled.
The rest of the officials were bewildered and could only hear the words "step onto the dragon throne", but they dared not say a word.
After a while, the court with its carved beams and painted buildings returned to calm, with only quiet whispers.
"Isn't the official going to get up late again?"
"Alas~ I've always said that officials are frivolous..."
"Shh... What are you talking about! Don't you want to live?!"
"No...no...no...I'm just curious, since the emperor doesn't want a child...why can't he wake up every day?"
"Perhaps it was too late to approve the memorial?"
"Don't be ridiculous... The government always has a month-long pile of memorials... and then they rush to approve them..."
"Are you being disrespectful to the government?"
"Hey~ Why are you always exaggerating?"
"I'm not exaggerating, it's you who's stupid... Without the official approval of the memorial, how could those filthy people like me... ever be criticized?"
"Hiss... That makes sense! Then I won't say it anymore~"
"This is right~"
So, another half hour passed.
The female officials began to feel uneasy and began to rub their legs as they ached.
"How come half an hour has passed... and the official hasn't arrived yet?"
"Who knows? Sigh...it's like this every time...it's happened four or five times this month alone..."
"I heard that the emperor visited Hongxiu Pavilion in disguise... and even favored a girl named 'Shishi'... Is this true?"
"Shh... What nonsense are you talking about... What can you and I do about the official's private affairs?"
"Oh...I understand..."
Just as the female officials began to grumble and complain.
There was a burst of dense footsteps outside the Zichen Palace, along with a coquettish, charming and soft female voice.
"Oh, Grand Empress Dowager, please let me enjoy some poetry. My senior sister will sing Li Dajia's "Ru Meng Ling" for me. Even if I ask them to wait for another half an hour, what's the big deal? It's just some trivial matters. Grand Empress Dowager, please just rule the country from behind the curtain on my behalf."
Then I heard a kind and earnest voice, but the voice sounded like the chirping of a yellow oriole.
"You are the ruler of a country after all. How can you neglect the affairs of the court? Alas, you just need to listen and respond. After this morning court, you will be free to do whatever you want."
There is also a crisp, soft and sweet sound.
"Yes, Your Majesty! When the late emperor returned to the stars... he specifically instructed Your Majesty to protect the Zhao family's kingdom! Even if Your Majesty doesn't do this for the country or the people, you must take care of the family affairs for the ancestors of the Zhao family~"
Upon hearing the sound, all the female officials turned their heads furtively and looked outside the Zichen Hall.
Among them, Gao Yue bent her waist even more, gently supported her knees with a pair of delicate hands, raised her two plump buttocks under the purple robe, lowered her huge breasts on her chest, half tilted her head and glanced back with her tear-shaped eyes, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
Although she had the look of an eagle and a wolf, she acted like a beautiful mature woman who was being penetrated wildly from behind. She turned her head away with contempt because of her unsatisfied desire, and urged the man behind her with her eyes to be faster and harder.
Outside the palace, there were more than a dozen palace maids surrounding a frivolous queen in a golden phoenix robe.
The queen was holding two women on her left and right.
One of the women was eight and a half feet tall, with delicate features, but her skin was as dark and smooth as chocolate, just like a modern woman who had a tan in a beauty salon.
With her tall stature and flat chest and hips, if it weren't for her voice being as soft and sweet as a little girl's, one would not recognize her as a woman.
The other woman wore a phoenix feather mask. She was seven feet tall, slender, with big breasts and hips. The jade hand holding the empress was white and translucent like the reflection of pearls. Her snow-white neck was soft and tender like the skin of a white melon. Her long, shiny black hair was tied into a dignified cross bun.
Yet, while her words were tender and loving, her voice was like the chirping of a yellow oriole. Her figure was that of a young girl, yet her steps were dignified and elegant. Like a... reserved lady?
It was Tong Lan, the then official in charge of offerings, and the honorable Empress Dowager Gao.
Seeing this scene, Gao Yue couldn't help but frown and narrowed her charming eyes slightly.
Is it mother? How come her skin is so snow-white and tender? Is it the work of that rebellious son?
But that's not important, what's important is...
Gao Yue's eyes instantly locked onto the frivolous queen in the center of the column, a subtle hint of viciousness and resentment flashing through her narrowed eyes...
The frivolous queen was seen wearing a crown with a golden phoenix flapping its wings, a golden bun with eight treasures and beads, a hairpin with five phoenixes embroidered with pearls, golden ropes on both sides of the crown, and a nine-winged fairy phoenix inlaid with gold and jade in the center of the crown. Thin tassels of the pearl chain hung down to both sides of her cheeks, and a red gold coiled dragon necklace was worn around her neck.
A wide, ornate phoenix robe, alternating between bright yellow and scarlet, was embroidered with a pattern of a roaring phoenix and the sun. Its fluttering phoenix wings shone with glittering gold, as if a phoenix were illuminating the nine states. One dared not look directly at its face. The hem of the long phoenix robe lay spread on the ground, gently lifted by the palace maids behind her.
But although she was dressed in noble and luxurious clothes, her oval face had a pair of teasing and charming little raised eyebrows, a pair of seductive and coquettish peach blossom eyes, a small nose with a touch of cream, and a cherry mouth with a smiling lip.
That frivolous and lascivious face, and the flushed cheeks due to lust, could not support the majestic imperial robe. Instead, she looked like a famous and beautiful courtesan wearing a phoenix robe for fun.
It can be described as "the delicate peach blossoms are covered with dew, swaying the spring heart and intoxicated by the red shadows."
Her figure was both elegant and vulgar. Her plump and upright breasts lifted the golden sun of "Ming Huang Xiao Ri" high up. Her soft and tender waist swayed under the wide imperial robe, and her round and plump peach buttocks occasionally left round marks under the imperial robe.
Two voluptuous, white, long legs were faintly visible in the slits of the imperial robe, and two slender, narrow, streamlined feet stepped on...
She was actually wearing a pair of small embroidered shoes with a green satin and pink base that looked like they were worn by actors... and they didn't fit her feet at all!
It’s worthy of you...Zhao Ling!
Were you hungover in Hongxiu Pavilion and then dragged out by my mother to attend court? And these shoes, could they belong to that "Miss Shishi"?
hehe...
Gao Yue curled her red lips in disdain, her charming eyes were cold as if she was looking at a dirty thing, and finally she raised her crescent eyebrows slightly, stood up straight and returned to her normal expression.
Chapter 31: Empress Gao was the one who destroyed Song
Supported by Gao and Tong Lan, and surrounded by a group of palace maids, Zhao Ling walked into the Purple Palace with a shaky step and a blush on her face, and walked towards her gold-lacquered throne with a carved phoenix.
As they walked, the civil and military officials on both sides bowed their heads, but they all smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The female officials near the middle even caught a glimpse of the embroidered shoes on Zhao Ling's feet, which made them frown.
When Zhao Ling arrived in front of the gilded phoenix-carved throne, Tong Lan and Gao finally let go of each other's hands and stood on either side of the throne, one on the left and the other on the right.
Zhao Ling swayed her soft, slender waist a few times, and squinted her lecherous eyes in a daze, glancing at the officials. Then her beautiful legs gave way and she fell onto the phoenix throne. She rubbed her rosy cheeks uncomfortably and lay down on her side...
Cai Jing immediately led all the officials to perform the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows!
"Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! Long, long live our emperor!!!" ×N
Zhao Ling lazily lay on her side on the phoenix throne, one arm supporting her head, her plump curves well-proportioned under the phoenix robe. With a flushed face, she gently waved her slender hand and said charmingly and lazily:
"No one, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of female officials stood up at the same time, holding their tablets and standing upright.
"Those who have the book will go out to play the morning music, while those who don't will draw up the curtain and leave the court."
Tong Lan took a step forward and shouted in a soft and sweet voice.
At this time, Cai Jing, the prime minister, respectfully stepped out from the line of civil officials, bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Say it~" Zhao Ling hummed drowsily, her tone as charming as panting.
Then, as if she felt that the tassels on the phoenix crown were too much of a nuisance, she raised her slender hands and pulled the pearl necklace tassels to the top of the crown, making her clothes look even more disheveled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Today, the country is peaceful and prosperous, all thanks to your Majesty's grace that shines throughout the nine provinces."
"However, recently there have been thieves roaming around the capital, nicknamed 'Ghost Faces,' and they seem to be trying to disturb this peaceful scene."
"Last night, 'Ghost Face' broke into my residence. She first engaged in a literary battle with my eldest daughter, Wen Ji, and then in a physical battle with the Imperial Guards' instructor, Lin Yanjun. None of us could capture her."
"If we allow this thief to wreak havoc in Bianjing, I'm afraid it will damage the dignity of our Song Dynasty."
Cai Jing held the tablet, bent her waist and slightly raised her buttocks, and smiled as she led out the "ghost face" step by step.
But just as she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Ling on the Phoenix Throne with heavy eyelids, trembling eyelashes, and her head nodding and shaking...
"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~!"
Seeing this, Gao hurried over and called Zhao Ling softly, telling her to stop dozing off.
"Um...ah? What's wrong?" Zhao Ling raised her eyebrows frivolously, but she couldn't open her peach blossom eyes no matter what. She could only turn her head and look at Gao with half-closed eyes in panic.
"Grand Tutor Cai is reporting something. Your Majesty, please respond to her as soon as possible!" Gao said helplessly.
"Oh..." Zhao Ling stretched and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Then according to your opinion, how should this matter be handled properly~"
In fact, Zhao Ling didn’t hear clearly what Cai Jing said, but it didn’t matter. She felt that she just needed to listen casually and then agree casually.
"I believe that although this thief is talented in both civil and military matters, he is alone and cannot accomplish anything. Therefore, we only need to send a capable person to capture him, and we can save the reputation of the Song Dynasty."
"Oh? Then who do you think is suitable?"
"I dare to recommend someone. This person is unrivaled in both civil and military skills. Moreover, she has an unparalleled appearance and a beautiful voice. Even if she cannot defeat that flying thief, she can certainly be slept with!"
When Cai Jing said this, all the officials looked horrified.
"Persuade? Just tell me his name. I know you are a pillar of the country, and I will approve your request."
But Zhao Ling didn't react, and just mumbled to Cai Jing to stop playing tricks.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The person I'm referring to is Gao Su, the son of the current Grand Marshal Gao Yue!"
Cai Jing bowed with a smile, but all the officials were immediately in an uproar.
"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! Gao Su is the reincarnation of the old dynasty's Lanling Prince! Lanling Prince is a regicide. If he gains power, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos!"
A female official stepped out quickly, knelt down and said urgently.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Even if Instructor Lin can't catch that thief, he still has Grandmasters like Tong Gongsheng and Huang Jijiu. What can this Ghost Face do, no matter how capable she is?"
Another female official hurried out, slid down on her knees, and kowtowed.
"Hmph! Is there any court etiquette left? The ministers haven't finished their speeches, His Majesty hasn't spoken, and you're all so anxious! And who gave you permission to cause a disturbance in the court?"
Gao Yue stood up straight with her proud body, turned her pretty face towards the side and spoke coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials were terrified.
Because according to the court rules, the other officials were not allowed to speak until the prime minister had finished speaking. Moreover, whispering in the court was a crime, and the emperor would not only fine him but also punish him.
"Alright, alright~ Stop making noise~ No matter how capable Gao Su is, he can't escape the trap of General Gao! Go back and stand still!" Zhao Ling tilted her head in boredom, her peach blossom eyes rolled up slightly in a very seductive way, and waved her slender hand.
Humph~ Just a caged bird like me~ making so much noise every day...
Then, she narrowed her peach blossom eyes, tilted her head to look at Tong Lan on the left side of the Phoenix Throne, and asked, "Auntie, what do you think we should do about this?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Lan hurried over, bent her tall body and bowed, whispering in a low voice: "Your Majesty is wise and valiant. I believe you have already made up your mind. I am just suspicious of Gao Su's character... I don't know how to test him. Is he true or not?"
Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a drunken smile: "It is indeed the old lady who understands my thoughts. I was worried about the same thing!"
"In this case, Your Majesty, why don't you find a reason to summon him into the palace and test him in person? If he has any second thoughts, he will definitely not dare to enter the palace to meet you! If he has ill intentions, he will definitely be very anxious!" Tong Lan blinked her almond eyes and whispered.
"Then according to my opinion, what is the appropriate excuse I should find~" Zhao Ling rolled her peach blossom eyes as if she was thinking deeply, and then said softly with her cherry lips.
"Hiss...this...Your Majesty, please forgive my lack of talent and knowledge..." Tong Lan bowed again in panic and shame.
"Oh~ There is no need to blame yourself, Prime Minister. I will ask the ministers~" Zhao Lingmei nodded with a smile.
After saying this, she cleared her throat and addressed the officials in a charming voice, "I approve Prime Minister Cai's proposal. However, Gao Su's intentions are difficult to predict. I need to consider them further. Do you have any good suggestions?"
