Chapter 24
Making the Emperor Wear Green Hat
After mocking Jun Qian Che, she quickly compose herself and gives off that empress air, “Forego the formality, Prime Minister.”
“Thanking Your Ladyhip. This official accidentally b.u.mped into the empress, hope the empress isn’t upset.” The man replies courteously.
Mo Qi Qi gives him a generous laugh, “Since it was not done on purpose, how can bengong gets upset at the prime minister?”
The man is slightly startled as he stares at Mo Qi Qi.
Mo Qi Qi catches onto the dumbfounded look in his eyes and quickly asks, “Why is the prime minister looking at bengong like that? Is there something wrong with bengong?”
The man retrieves his eyes, “Nothing. It has been a while since this official met Your Ladyship, Your Ladyship changed a lot.”
“Everybody change at one point!” Mo Qi Qi smiles, don’t tell her he already sees through her.
The man laughs, “What Your Ladyship said is right. This official heard the empress mumbling about the emperor just now, could it be that the empress got into another fight with the emperor?”
“I am too lazy to fight with people like Jun Qian Che who cannot see other people’s good intention!” Thinking about Jun Qian Che makes her even angrier.
The man laughs, “Now this is the empress this official remembers. The unruly part of Your Ladyship still hasn’t change.”
“You——– Hmph! Birds of a feather flock together!” Too lazy to deal with the man, she angrily strides away.
The man shakes his head as he laughs before striding into Yu Jing Palace.
After Mo Qi Qi left, Jun Qian Che continues criticizing the memorials. But the scene of the empress and that man in the viewing tower keeps flashing in his mind, causing him to brood in anger. He angrily fists his hands, wanting to vent the anger within his chest.
Prime Minister Chu Ling Xiao walks in and says, “Greeting the emperor.”
Jun Qian Che’s wandering thoughts are pulled back, “Ling Xiao, you are back. What of the thing zhen asked you to investigate?”
Chu Ling Xiao quickly takes out a folder and places it on the emperor’s dragon desk, “Everything Your Majesty wanted is in here.”
