Chapter 802: The Emperor and Shen Zheng, a Pen Pal Meeting
The officials whispered, "Has the Empress Dowager really seen this?"
"This thing looks amazing. If the Queen Mother has really seen it, why didn't she keep it?"
"Is the Queen Mother......?"
Is it that he has never seen it before and just wants to put an end to the arrogance of Fulin Kingdom?
The Fulin envoy jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Your Majesty! This is a sacred object from my Fulin country. The Great Zhou Kingdom cannot possibly have it. How could you have seen it?"
The Queen Mother raised her lips slightly and looked at him steadily: "I have seen him before, what's the matter? I am the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou, why would I lie to you, an envoy?"
"Then where is it!" The Fulin envoy's eye sockets were very deep, and he looked a little ferocious when he stared. "You said you have seen my Fulin divine object, so where is it now?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials looked curious and worried.
They also wanted to know where the Queen Mother had seen this thing, but they were more afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to produce it.
This will inevitably give people a chance to criticize you.
When the Queen Mother heard this, a look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.
She has seen it.
But the person who wore that item has now disappeared...
And there is that girl Nan Shu.
There was also one on my head at that time.
Although the styles are different, she is sure that it is the same thing.
In Shen Zheng's words, the sacred objects of the Fulin Kingdom were nothing more than "little gadgets made when one had nothing better to do."
Thinking of Shen Zheng, the Queen Mother felt very depressed. Her silence for a long time seemed like she was "unable to tell a lie" in the eyes of the Fulin envoy.
He knew it.
The Fulin envoy smiled and performed the Fulin salute to the Queen Mother. "Dear Queen Mother, please believe me, this is really the most precious gift from my Fulin country. You said you have seen it, but you can't tell me where it is now..."
His actions and words seemed polite, but all the officials smelled a whiff of a "villain succeeding" from him.
What's more, there are envoys from various countries in the palace now, and the Queen Mother...
All the officials had a trace of embarrassment on their faces.
It seems that I have lost some face today...
But why is the Queen Mother silent again? She was so full of vigor just now, it's really strange.
The hall fell into silence. Even the music stopped at some point. The atmosphere was tense and a little awkward. All the officials looked at each other, not knowing whether they should take the initiative to speak.
Just as Princess Jiarou was about to lift her skirt and stand up to rescue the empress dowager, a voice came from outside the palace, approaching from afar.
"This item is in my hand. The Queen Mother doesn't know where I have been, so she doesn't know where it is now. This is normal. Messenger, since you want to see it, I will let you see it to your heart's content."
This is a woman's voice.
A young woman's voice.
A young woman who dares to call herself "this official".
In the Great Zhou, who else could there be besides her?
One stone caused a thousand ripples. In almost an instant, everyone in the hall looked towards the entrance of the hall. Yue Zhenchuan even sprained his neck because he moved too quickly.
The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress all stood up and looked towards the door eagerly.
Only his voice is heard, but his person is not seen.
It turns out that the sound arrived before the person did.
The emperor was afraid that he was hallucinating.
He first looked at the astonished officials, then at the queen who could hardly hide her excitement, before he was sure.
People really came.
His hands were shaking with excitement, and he asked through the Queen Mother: "Queen, did you hear that? It was Shen Zheng...right?"
The queen stared at the palace door without blinking, nodding repeatedly, "I heard it, Your Majesty, it must be her."
It was not until the three figures stepped into the gate of Yongshou Palace and the figure on the left stood still in the palace that the emperor and empress, who had been worried for days, finally felt a sense of relief.
Everyone in the hall only heard three people shouting: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
crime?
The emperor knew very well whether the three of them were guilty or not.
Almost at the same time as the three began to kneel, the emperor spoke immediately, "My three dear ministers, please excuse your formalities and stand up to speak."
Looking at the figure that was not familiar, Tianzi felt that this seemed to be his first meeting with Shen Zheng.
It feels like...a pen pal with whom you have exchanged letters several times suddenly jumps onto the paper and stands in front of you alive.
Then she said to you who were in a daze: "Hey, it's me. You didn't expect me to look like this, did you? You're also a little different from what I imagined, but it doesn't matter. Our relationship is still as close as ever."
This feeling is really...wonderful and a little nervous.
Almost subconsciously, the emperor felt that his hair seemed to be falling off and was not as neat as before.
After a while, he felt that the dragon robe he was wearing didn't seem to fit him well. It was a little wrinkled, making him look less majestic.
After a slight panic, the emperor suddenly laughed.
——Shen Zheng is fine.
She arrived in Shangjing safely and even made it to the birthday banquet.
——We haven’t even started eating yet, how come we’re not on time?
This was not the first time that Eunuch Hong saw the emperor smile like this, and the last time the emperor did this... was when he was reading Lord Shen's letter.
He was so blessed that he began to order the palace servants to move the table with small steps.
When the emperor looked at Shen Zheng, Shen Zheng was also secretly looking at him.
——So this is what the emperor looks like.
——If you count... today can also be considered a meeting between pen pals, right?
Thinking of "meeting her pen pal in person", Shen Zheng became a little bolder and secretly looked at the emperor's appearance.
I saw that he had a tough outline, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, sharp brow bones, and eyes like deep pools and dazzling suns.
That smile on the corner of his mouth...
Shen Zheng paused, then quietly looked away.
This smile is too worthless...
As her sight wandered, she saw the queen with a smile on her lips again, but before she could see the queen's face clearly, Shen Zheng suddenly seemed to be cast under a "staring spell". Her eyes widened and her posture became more and more stiff.
In disbelief, she blinked twice and looked at the figure sitting between the emperor and the empress.
Am I seeing that?
An old lady who is a member of an official's family;
In Tongan County, the old lady who tried to "persuade" her to side with the Ministry of Revenue;
The old lady was humiliated by her in front of her.
Why did he sit between the emperor and the empress? !
Countless images flashed through his mind, and Shen Zheng shouted in his heart, "No way, sir, you are kidding me!"
Looking at the kind smile on the face of the "old lady", Shen Zheng finally stopped struggling.
She was certain that the people who came to Tongan County to buy cotton cloth were not the family members of the Ministry of Revenue officials, but the current empress dowager, the biological mother of the emperor.
She had actually met the empress dowager when she was in Tongan County!
No wonder...the Queen Mother said she had seen Liuli.
When she was outside, she thought the Queen Mother was trying to save face for the Great Zhou.
