Chapter 1022: That Kid Isn’t Worthy (1)
The next morning, His Majesty summoned Lulu into the palace.
The officials had just left court.
As the New Year approached, it was snowing heavily in the capital. The briquettes in the Throne Room were fully burnt and it was very warm.
However, when they left the throne room, they were so cold that they shivered.
The lords sniffled.
“Sigh, this palace doesn’t allow palanquins to enter. It’s also a headache. In the future, you have to prepare some thick clothes for the court.” The lords whispered to each other.
“The rules of the palace are beyond the heavens, and no one can break them. Sigh, if only I could rest for two more days when it snows heavily.” Daren shook his head and muttered.
The lords immediately laughed. They still had two more days to rest.
His Majesty was a warmongering maniac. He couldn’t wait for the officials to fight for 365 days a year.
Taking two days off every month was already the limit.
As he spoke, he saw a different color appear under the palace wall in the distance.
“It’s a small sedan…” One of the lords said with envy.
When the palanquin approached, he realized that it was quite unique.
There were complicated patterns carved on it, and a small deer was drawn on the curtain.
Suddenly, someone opened the curtain.
“Uncle, the weather is cold. You should go out with an umbrella.” Lulu stretched out its head and handed over an umbrella and a thick brocade blanket.
Lord Xia’s eyes widened as he stepped forward to receive it under the envious gazes of his colleagues.
“His Majesty summoned you?” Sir Xia narrowed his eyes and asked.
“It’s the Empress Dowager.” Lulu covered his mouth and snickered.
After the carriage left, the ministers began to ponder. His gaze toward Sir Xia became more fervent.
When Lulu arrived outside Kunyi Palace, the palace servants helped her out of the carriage.
“Why didn’t I see my brother just now?” Lulu asked casually.
“Lord Jiang is His Majesty’s close minister and is waiting in front of His Majesty.” Don’t worry, this servant has prepared thick clothes and an umbrella, you won’t catch a cold.”
“Being an official is really tough. I only have two days off in a month. If only I could take a day or two off every seven days.” Lulu muttered. The moment the granny heard this, she remembered it.
Lulu entered Kunyi Palace and felt its warmth.
The nanny stepped forward and helped her take off her cloak. The room was warm and comfortable, making one feel rather lazy.
When the Empress Dowager saw her, she couldn’t help but frown.
“If this widow doesn’t summon you, you really won’t come to see this widow?”
The Empress Dowager’s face was filled with resentment. Seeing the little girl grow up so slim and elegant, her eyes were straight.
“Someone come quickly, bring over the fruits and snacks that the foreign countries offered as tribute a few days ago.” Taking two sips when it was warm was extremely soothing.
Ever since the emperor had attacked foreign countries, it was because he liked their fruits.
Later on, the surrounding countries were especially active in sending specialties to the Great Zhou.
It meant to tell the Great Zhou Emperor that if he wanted to eat, there was no need to fight. We came to pay tribute ourselves.
All kinds of specialties were produced throughout the year.
Lulu picked up a cherry. It was really sweet.
“Empress Dowager, Lulu is also afraid of disturbing your cultivation. As long as you don’t mind the noise of the deer.” The little girl sat in front of the empress dowager. Her docile and cute appearance made the empress dowager happy.
This little girl was her lucky star.
The Empress Dowager liked it more and more.
“Ai, it’s a pity that this widow doesn’t have a competent little master by her side. Aijia does have a son…” After saying that, he paused.
” Sigh, forget it. He’s not enlightened and doesn’t understand the charm. That kid isn’t worthy. ” The Empress Dowager waved her hand in disdain.
Behind the screen in the corner, a figure suddenly stopped.
Mother, you are my mother!
The man almost cried on the spot.
