Chapter 53: This Venerable Will Stay to Watch the Show

ose dozen or so were top assassins, and in the end, not one of them escaped her hands. We must take this seriously. 。"But…" he pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "We needn't be too pessimisti...The Emperor's smile brought life back to everything, even people's spirits lifted.

But not everyone saw the Emperor's smile. Most people didn't know about this, they just thought it was a good omen brought by the new emperor's ascension to the throne. 。So they rushed to Quanqing City again and again, some even wept with excitement. 。Yè Wēn yán walked through the crowd, silently and invisibly, arriving beside Shī Lí Yúan. He sat down quietly. 。From this vantage point, looking down at the courtiers again, one can also feel a sense of superiority, looking down on all beings. 。That's why everyone wants to be emperor, that's why everyone wants to sit on the dragon throne, such a feeling for men, it's simply irresistible, isn't it But she didn't care, she only felt shocked, but there was no yearning. 。She wouldn't have someone by her side like this, otherwise she couldn't lounge so languidly against the back of the chair, tilting her head and watching with an air of indifference. 。She curled her lip, the invisibility spell failing again before this powerful emperor. 。The former imperial attendant Wu Fu, who was once close to the late emperor, is now serving Quan Qingcheng. He is currently reciting the ceremony texts. 。This gift isn't a gift for giving, but it means a ceremony. 。It's nothing more than the new emperor granting amnesty and reducing taxes upon his ascension to the throne. 。She had no intention of listening to this, so she turned her gaze to Quan Qingcheng. 。The boy, who looked exactly like his cousin, sat upright on the dragon throne, his hands resting on his knees. It was clear that he was quite nervous. 。After all, it was her first time as emperor, anyone would be nervous! She thought that Quan Qingcheng had done a good job so far, at least he hadn't let the regent king on the side steal the limelight, and he managed to control the situation well, making the ministers not think he was too young and inexperienced to be bullied. 。As she was thinking about these things, she suddenly felt an arm circle around her waist. It came from the left side, gently and naturally slipping around her waist, then extended to the right side, firmly grasping her waist. 。She glared at him, silently saying, “Scoundrel” 。He was oblivious, acting as if he hadn't heard a word. He still looked down at the courtiers below, but the strength in his grip had increased, and she felt so angry she wanted to strangle him. 。The enthronement ceremony saw promotions, demotions, some officials being stripped of their positions and sent home to farm, and others being taken away by the Ministry of Justice for investigation. 。Joy and sorrow, also symbolizing the start of a new era, the new emperor's position and determination 。Ye Wenyan sat on the jade chair, leaning against the backrest when he was tired. When he was even more tired, he simply retracted his legs and turned sideways, directly using Shi Liyuan's thigh as a pillow to fall asleep. 。Shi Liyuan lowered his head to look at her. With a sweep of his wide sleeves, he covered the girl firmly. 。

Night Wenyan woke up in a daze amidst the endless voices of "Your Majesty," only to be greeted by a sea of red light upon opening his eyes. 。The Emperor's voice grew fainter and fainter, until it finally disappeared. When she could no longer hear him, she found herself being carried horizontally to the gate of Yanhuagong. 。Perhaps the officials were also wondering at this moment, why did the Emperor hold his hands up when he left It looked like he was holding someone, but there was no one in his hands, not even an object. 。Ye Wen's two hands were hooked around Shi Liyuan's neck at the moment, her head pressed against his shoulder. If she wasn't still wearing that pale white face, it would have looked quite tender and romantic. 。"Awake" 。"This is the first time I've ever seen someone dare to sleep during the Emperor's enthronement ceremony." 。" You're really lucky, to have stumbled upon such a rare and incredible sight. " 。She lowered her head and glanced at the hand he had placed on her waist, "Shi Li Yuan, you're taking advantage of me." 。He retorted, “You were the one who took advantage of this deity first.” 。"What have I done to you" "You've been sleeping on this deity's legs, which hasn't happened in over four hundred years!" 。"You were the one who hugged my waist first, so technically you made the move first." 。" He nodded, "That's me taking the lead first then! But I'm not afraid of anything, after all, I don't have to be responsible for it anyway." 。She got flustered and jumped out of his arms, "Shili Yuan, do you have any shame at all" "Where did I lose my shame Besides, when it comes to taking advantage, you've taken more from me than I have from you." 。He changed the subject, pulling her closer. "Then, you're responsible for me!" She gritted her teeth. "Are you serious" "Very much so." 。“

Yè Wēn yán felt he had been defeated by this guy, “Forget it, forget it, I won’t waste my time talking to you. I have to go home quickly” 。It's almost noon, isn't it I snuck out from the housemaid, but can't stay out too long. 。 。"

"good"

He agreed, pulling the person closer. With a flick of his fingers, a red light flashed, and in the next moment, Ye Wenyan was already back at the General's Mansion. 。And not only did she return home, but she was also directly taken to her own bed. 。He sat opposite her, legs crossed and posture perfectly straight. She, on the other hand, was thrown off to one side, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere. 。...that broke the awkward silence was a clever bird. It flew in circles between them, flapped its wings a few times, and mimicking Ye Wen's voice, it spoke: "Master, while you were away, a maid came by. I warned her not to disturb you, and she wisely left." 。As far as I know, no one has found that the master is not at home. 。She was very satisfied, with a wave of her hand she took the bird back. Halfway through the air already withered flowers were falling, landing on the bed. 。Shi Li Yuan asked her, "Shall I help you take it all the way off" She was puzzled, "What do you mean"Just then he reached out and went straight for her collar, "I'll take your clothes off for you. After all, no one sleeps in their outer robes. This will make the act more convincing and prevent the maids from noticing anything." 。He moved so quickly, in a flash he unbuttoned two buttons, scaring Ye Wen to hurriedly step back. 。"No, no need. I'll do it myself. " 。"What are you afraid of I've seen everything on you!" "That was an accident!" she reminded him, waving her fists, "It was just an accident! Now if you lay a hand on me, you're being a thug! Come on, get out of here. I have to get up. I have a performance today, I have to go cooperate with my maid" 。 “That’s what I stayed to watch the play for.” 。He really didn't intend to leave just like that. 。Ye Wenyan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay" 。“Done, I reached out and pushed Shi Liyuan, “Turn away, let me take off my outer robe first so as not to be exposed later.” 。He had never heard the phrase "to be found out," but he understood its meaning easily enough. So, he silently turned away and kindly reminded him, "Actually, you can just pinch a flower to complete this step; there's no need to do it yourself." 。"Ye Wen felt he was right, and at the same time sighed that every time he met this Emperor Zun, his intelligence seemed to be always offline. 。The petals crushed, the outer robe vanished, and all that remained was a person in their undergarments. 。Just burrowed into the blanket, before Master Li could even turn around, the door was pushed open. 。Light footsteps rushed to the bed, and she soon heard Xiangdong's voice: "Sister, wake up, it's already noon." 。" She couldn't pretend to sleep anymore. She threw open the curtains and cried out, “Wake up!” As soon as she finished speaking, Xiangdong appeared with a set of clothes in her hands, reaching forward to hand them to her. She placed them on the edge of the bed. " 。“This is clean laundry. Did the maidservant help you change, or did you do it yourself” “I’ll do it myself.” 。She twitched the corner of her mouth, preparing to let Xiangdong go out first. 。Yet, Xiang Dong turned that set of clean clothes over twice, flipping out a bellyband from within… Ye Wen was embarrassed and instinctively looked towards Shi Li Yuan. Seeing that he had already turned back, his gaze was fixed on the bellyband. 。She quickly hugged her bellyband, looked at him with a wary face, and opened her mouth to scold him, but he raised his finger to her lips, silently telling her, "Hush!"Xiang Dong was dumbfounded, "Sister, what are you...doing" And then, following Ye Wenyan's gaze, she glanced 。Unfortunately, while Ye Wen could see her, she couldn't see him. 。It's nothing, I can change my own clothes. You go out first! Oh, and by the way, I'm hungry, bring me lunch. 。Xiang Dong should have gone back, but only then did she kick Shi Liyuan's direction forcefully, "Turn around!" Shi Liyuan turned back again, still reminding her, "Use magic, it'll be faster." 。She, of course, knew that using magic was quick, but after she finished changing, she stuffed all her old clothes into the quilt and got out of bed before him. She took a deep breath and finally calmed down. 。Lunch was still very plain. Shi Lifeng frowned at her chewing on vegetable leaves. Although he had already reached the state of fasting and his need for food wasn't great, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore this time. 。Finally, I couldn't help but say: "If you really don't like it, just don't eat it. Go back to Yanhuagong and eat." 。“Ye Wenyan swallowed the last mouthful of vegetable leaves and rice, then answered him: 'It's nothing, the last meal. Tonight won't be like this.'" 。"Oh" he became interested. "But it's about your performance" "Well, I have to find some way to improve my life, or they really will treat me like a white rabbit and feed me." 。As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Dong rushed back into the room, her face etched with worry this time. 。"If sister is done with it, she can go take a look in the front yard! There's trouble brewing in the front yard again!" 。Ye Wenyan laughed and went to the front yard, this time Xiangdong and Xichun followed him, Shili also followed. 。The front yard was bustling with activity because Ye Si Jie's close maid, Zhuai'er, had just returned from the street, bringing back a butcher who sold meat at the market. 。After the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the streets were no longer under curfew. It should have been around the time Ye Wenyan first entered the palace. 。Many people who had been staying home all came out to walk the streets and talk to acquaintances. They also kept shopping to make up for the shortages in their homes over the past few days. 。Lin'an Inner City doesn't have a market, it does have shops, but the variety of goods sold is definitely not as complete as in the Outer City. 。Therefore, people from the inner city would usually go to the outer city for shopping. It wasn't too far anyway, and it only took half an hour by carriage to reach the busiest market street in the outer city. 。

Zhui'er also went to the outer city, just returned now, but didn't enter the mansion, standing at the door wiping sweat while talking to the butcher: "Let me apologize for embarrassing you, although the name of a first-rank general's mansion is loud, in reality, life isn't easy at all

"Later on, when you're dealing with the meat, be merciful. My sister needs to spend this money too!"do that this beloved has Emperor Supreme's soul-shattering bell in her hands. 。So don't worry, Sis Four is going to enter the palace. She wants to burn it down, and they won't dare stop her. 。The Im...
