Everyone followed Qiao Qiao's gaze and looked over. They saw a thin and weak man dressed in the uniform of a first rank standing on the ground. Being looked at in such a manner by everyone, he appeared to be at a loss of what to do.

"Qingqing!" A stern and abrupt voice came out from the hall, followed by the steps of the noble Prime Minister Luo. He knelt down, and said to Qiao Qiao with a face full of self-blame, "Old subject humbly begs for your forgiveness, this old subject requests that you forgive this old subject, this old subject is the mischievous little girl, today this subject did not discipline you properly, and thus allowed this unfilial girl to take advantage of the loophole, and actually came to the imperial court to cause trouble!"

The corner of Qiao Qiao's mouth still bent slightly. No wonder she didn't have a single female official in her memory. It turned out that Prime Minister Luo's little girl had come here to cause trouble. She had originally wanted to give her a slight warning, but she hadn't expected it to pierce through her on the spot.

However, the reason why Prime Minister Luo was still able to firmly sit in the emperor's position until now was because he had done a great service. As the leader of the male imperial concubines in her backyard, he had received Imperial Concubine Luo as his son, Luo Qinglun, the son of Prime Minister Luo, and the one who had caused all this trouble for His Highness could be considered her own sister-in-law.

Qiao Qiao's gaze remained fixed on Yan Mo Chen. She was just a puppet emperor. Wasn't she supposed to be the one behind this? But no matter how she looked at it, this powerful imperial uncle didn't seem to want to interfere in this matter.

"Prime Minister, please rise." Regardless of whether or not this royal uncle wanted to intervene, she could not allow an old man to continue kneeling on the ground. Moreover, this old man was someone who had helped her, but with so many pairs of eyes watching from the main hall today, this kind of nonsense was not something she could do without favouring her own interests, there was no punishment at all. Qiao Qiao shrewdly rolled his eyes before continuing, "The Prime Minister's words are too serious. I've not seen my younger sister for many days, and I've also missed her greatly. How about I take this opportunity to enter the palace today and stay a few more days to accompany me in the palace to relieve my boredom?"

Even though he knew that Qiao Qiao was trying to excuse Luo Qingqing, he did not want to place his precious daughter in the palace, a place where the emperor coveted her. Even though the emperor was a woman, he knew better than anyone else that the emperor himself was like a sow that crossed the river, unable to protect himself, how could he even protect his precious daughter?

As Prime Minister Luo hesitated, Luo Qingqing was overjoyed. She kowtowed to Qiao Qiao and said, "Many thanks to Your Majesty for your grace. Qingqing will stay at the palace to accompany sister-in-law."

Today, she had secretly worn her father's official uniform and ran to the great hall, all for the sake of meeting the Regent. She knew that the relationship between the Regent and her father was like fire and water, but she could not suppress the yearning in her heart, and even if she could only look from afar, she would still be satisfied.

Now that the emperor had invited her to the palace as a guest, wouldn't she be able to see the regent every day? As Luo Qingqing thought about this, she secretly sent a message to Yan Mo Chen. Of course, all of this was reflected in her eyes.

Qiao Qiao continued to smile slightly. This little girl, she was truly afraid that others would not know that the person she liked was her royal uncle.

However, Qiao Qiao still couldn't figure it out. Since Prime Minister Luo's youngest daughter was interested in his majesty, then as long as his majesty marries Luo Qingqing and robs the family of Prime Minister Luo, why would he need to be the person behind the scenes? Even if he overthrew her and directly became the emperor, no one would dare raise any objections.

Qiao Qiao's eyes continued to roll around, only to see His Highness Prime Minister Luo whispering reproachfully to Luo Qingqing for a moment. His brows were knit tightly together, but in the end, he gave in and cupped his hands towards Qiao Qiao.

"My daughter is mischievous. Then, I thank the emperor for teaching me too much."

"Prime Minister, you're too serious!" Qiao Qiao still lightly waved his hand and winked at Xiyue. He immediately stood up and walked out of the throne room with three steps.

Everyone knelt down and loudly shouted, "We offer our best wishes to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune."

She turned around and looked at the officials kneeling on the ground. Raising her eyebrows, she gently raised one of her middle fingers towards Yan Mo Chen, and with one hundred and eighty degrees of rotation, she pointed down with her fingertips three times, then turned around haughtily and walked out of the Hall of Golden Chimes.

He did not say a word. When he saw that the finger that Qiao Qiao was still pointing towards him was just frowning slightly, his gaze was still fixed on the girl who was abnormal today. He only left after she had disappeared.

"Respectfully sending off the Regent, the Regent has lived for thousands of years."

Qiao Qiao who was walking away with his lips raised was still in a good mood. In this early morning assembly, he had teased his uncle and his highness, leaving a little beauty by his side. Although this little beauty was full of animosity towards him, he would have some fun in the palace in the future.

"Xiyue, get someone to take Luo Qingqing to the palace and wait for me there." Qiao Qiao instructed with a joyful expression.

"Yes, this servant obeys." "Right." Xiyue nodded, then whispered to the palace maids behind her.

"Right, Xiyue, where is Yingyue?" Qiao Qiao still frowned. Since the day he woke up, only Xiyue was by his side. In these few days, he had been too idle to notice that he was missing a person.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Yingyue has followed your orders and left the palace to look for someone." Xiyue reported.

"Find someone?" Why didn't she have any impression of him?

"That's right. Didn't the emperor leave the palace on the seventh day because he had his eyes on the capital's number one young master, Ji Mingyuan?" "So Yingyue went to find someone for the emperor …" Xiyue lowered her head and her voice became lower and lower until she couldn't hear clearly.

Wow, it's actually so explosive! Qiao Qiao continued to grin. It seemed that the previous Qiao Qiao was not only a scarecrow puppet, but also a flirtatious woman who shared the same hobby as her!

This young master of the capital sounds pretty good, but his looks shouldn't be much different from others. Qiao Qiao is really lucky. Relying on the fact that I'm a prince, I can get as many beautiful men as I want. Unlike her in the modern era, she just drooled a few times when she was carrying out a mission.

Well, she admitted it, this title was indeed lost on her master!

However, he couldn't completely blame her. Seeing the handsome guy drool was a normal reaction!

Qiao Qiao pouted. It seemed like she could still do whatever she wanted in the harem after taking over this empress' body!

Seeing that Qiao still did not speak for a long time, Xiyue carefully raised her head and saw that her Emperor's eyes were filled with hearts and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

What? Right now, even the emperor could act so arrogantly when he thought of a beautiful man! She couldn't help but shake her body. She began to rejoice in the fact that she was a woman who had been lucky enough to live a comfortable life by the side of the Emperor for so long.

However … When Xiyue thought of that night, the emperor dubiously pulled her into his embrace. Although she knew the emperor was helping her, she still couldn't help but blush.
