C7 Imperial Consort Shuntian

Jiang Qiuyue alighted from the dragon chariot and saw Luo Ying standing together with the sixteen yellow robed youths, looking especially striking.

Luo Ying was the imperial concubine, so she could only wait outside the hall for Jiang Qiuyue.

The first thing Jiang Qiuyue saw was the hundred officials standing outside the hall. They were all in a black mass, countless of them, men and women, old and young, all with bowed heads and solemn faces. They didn't dare to raise their heads and look directly into the sky.

Jiang Qiuyue instantly felt a huge pressure on her. She gathered up her long and wide robes and pretended to be calm as she slowly walked up the stairs from the middle. Although there were many officials, there was no sound at all.

Jiang Qiuyue looked at the white jade steps, feeling that there was no end to them.

Step by step, she finally walked into the hall. When she sat down on the dragon throne, an old eunuch suddenly appeared from nowhere and shouted loudly, "Your Imperial Majesty!"

She could not help but steal a glance at the old eunuch. She had been here for several days, but this was the first time she saw a eunuch.

"Long live the Emperor — —" The civil and military officials, led by the Minister of the Left and the Minister of the Right, knelt together in a majestic manner.

"Esteemed officials, please do not be courteous." Jiang Qiuyue was originally very noble and dignified, but the original owner of this body had bumped into her. The makeup on her face was currently red, and she exuded an imposing aura without being angry.

However, on the surface, she was a bit scared. She was afraid that something bad would happen. She prayed desperately that there was nothing that needed her to deal with, or else she would really be in trouble.

"Thank you, your majesty." The officials stood up in unison and straightened their clothes.

Jiang Qiuyue hoped that it was as Xiao Ruoyu had said, the Left Premier and the Right Premier had already taken over a few days of government work for her. Although this was disadvantageous for her, what she needed the most right now was to clarify the distribution of power in the imperial court.

"If you have anything to say, start now. If you have nothing to say, leave the court." Jiang Qiuyue's expression was calm, as if she had experienced countless great scenes and wasn't afraid at all.

Of course, she hoped that she could go back before her butt warmed up.

However, things did not turn out as he wished.

A bearded middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant with embroidered clothes and an ivory fawn in his hand stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your subject, the Minister of Revenue, Wang Zhong, has something to say."

Jiang Qiu Yue rubbed her temples and sized up the middle-aged man. Judging from his clothes, he should be a second rank civil servant and couldn't be neglected.

The Minister of Revenue, Wang Zhong, remembered that he should be one of the people from the King's household, the father of Princess Fu Shoujun.

Wang Zhujun … For some reason, a young man in blue clothes suddenly flashed through her mind, riding a small boat and floating on a lake covered in moonlight. The moonlight shattered into streaks under the waves of the lake, and she stood on the shore, watching the back of the young man.

The youth lightly glanced back at her and she finally saw his face clearly. Under the moonlight, his unfathomable black eyes were dabbed with a bit of splendor. His exquisite face did not have a single blemish, and his thin, pretty lips curled up as he looked at her with a smile and deep emotion.

At this moment, they didn't want to hear about each other, so they were willing to follow the moonlight and shine on the monarch …

Thinking to this, her expression softened. "Please speak, Sir Wang."

"To reply Your Majesty, His Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness. This is a great fortune for me. The government has piled up many things. I hope that Your Majesty can deal with it as soon as possible." Wang Xue was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Didn't I say before that the political affairs of the empire will be left to the second minister these days?" Jiang Qiuyue still remembered what Xiao Ruoyi had said to her a few days ago.

"His Majesty, the Right Prime Minister, when he heard that His Majesty was ill, he immediately fainted and fell asleep in his manor. As of now, the Minister of the Left has not yet woken up, so he alone cannot take care of too many political matters."

Jiang Qiuyue was speechless. Wasn't this Right Premier too lame? He had obviously come up with an excuse to avoid politics, who knew if he was currently at home eating a melon and watching a play.

When the Minister of the Left heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and kneeled down, "This old man is guilty. I failed to complete the mission given to me by the Emperor. I owe it to the Emperor. Please punish me."

The Left Premier was the father of Empress Xiao Ruoyu. Due to the cunning Empress, her neck still ached faintly, and she didn't have a good impression of the Left Premier.

The Minister of the Right and the Minister of the Left each chose a reason to avoid certain matters. Of course, it wasn't because they were lazy, but because … These things might be tricky. They didn't want to take this hot potato, so they simply found a reason and threw it to her.

Since they had already done so, it would seem suspicious if he were to decline again. However, if it was something that they were unwilling to do, it was most likely because … He had to offend certain forces.

What a good plan. Jiang Qiuyue laughed coldly in her heart, but on the surface, she looked like she was a saint under a compassionate subject. "The Minister of the Left has worked hard for the country these past few days. Why would I blame the Minister of the Left?"

She emphasized the words' painstaking effort, exhausting blood and sweat 'before looking at the few matters of the country that he had been dealing with these days, appearing pale and powerless.

Xiao Wen's complexion alternated between green and white. He looked really good.

"Move the paper into the Heartrest Palace." After giving out his orders, Jiang Qiuyue stood up and swept her gaze across the officials indifferently, "You may leave the court without a reason."

After she finished speaking, she resisted the impulse to run, and almost ran as if she were escaping, back to the Heartrest Palace.
