230 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 229
byChapter 229 Ancient times, prostitution, holy monk (1)
Ye Xuan sat up from the bed with difficulty, feeling that she had a severe headache.The contents of the letter were still swirling in her head, and she couldn’t help but curse in secret. She couldn’t speak clearly, so she just hoped that people would guess.No matter what, it was her last mission now. She felt that she had vaguely touched the truth, and vague memories kept flashing back, but she just couldn’t grasp the most important point.
Should I believe Gu Yincheng’s words? Regardless of whether he can recover his memory or not, he will wake up after this mission.But since he knows Ye Xuan, he will definitely know that if he cannot learn the truth, even if Ye Xuan wakes up successfully, she will not let this matter go.
Gu, wait for me to go back and beat you up!
Secretly clenching her fists, Ye Xuan looked around.This is a magnificent room, with a bright yellow dragon-patterned tent hanging on the big bed that is several feet wide. The Boshan stove beside the bed is burning with faint incense. Ye Xuan has smelled it in another world, which is dipterocarp.She lowered her head, and then she realized that she was wearing a vermilion tapestry robe with golden dragon patterns. On her head was a delicate and luxurious eight-treasure hairpin with dragons and beads in it. The long necklace made a gentle ringing sound as she moved.
It seems that Xu Ti is a very important person, and he is 100% from the royal family.Wait… Only then did Ye Xuan realize that she hadn’t received any information from her body!?
Regardless of the host’s identity, memory, or emotional experience, there was nothing that could be provided to her through the system’s “empathy” function.What’s going on?Ye Xuan quickly called the system in her mind, but as usual, there was no response.
This… this is definitely a bug. Without empathy, how can she carry out the mission?Recalling the strange feeling of empathy in the last world, Ye Xuan felt increasingly uneasy.Ever since the system restarted the virtual world, there have been more and more things going wrong, and now there is no empathy at all.
She was sitting on the bed thinking about how to continue her mission. The sound of footsteps was so low that she couldn’t hear it. A man in turquoise eunuch’s clothes lowered his head and bowed respectfully in front of her: “Guan family, it’s noon. Do you think the meal is ready?”
Official?!
If Ye Xuan hadn’t had a lot of experience and had already mastered the skill of keeping a straight face, she would have jumped out of bed in shock.In this whole world, there is only one person who can be called an official.So the host body… is a female emperor?!
“Pass it on.” Ye Xuan said lightly, trying to recall Xiao Ye’s behavior back then.
Isn’t it time to be thankful that when there is a bug in the system, it turns out that the host body is a big shot?As the master of this country, even if Ye Xuan behaves strangely when she loses empathy, the people below may not dare to doubt her easily.
So now she can only explore step by step. First, she must find out where the lunch place is.Fortunately, as soon as she stepped out of the door, there were several small yellow doors in front of her, and the eunuch in green followed her step by step, missing only two steps at any time, as accurately as if he had measured it with a ruler.
This person is probably the number one employee around the emperor. Among those who are familiar with the body, he is ranked among the top three, if not the first.Ye Xuan was wondering if she should find an excuse to send him away, but she was afraid that someone would see something wrong.After finishing the meal without any taste, she put down her chopsticks and said, “Find me the list of people in the palace.”
There was a trace of confusion in the eunuch’s eyes, but he still responded respectfully: “Yes.”
When the thick book of palace people’s fate was delivered to Ye Xuan, she almost spit out a sip of tea in her mouth.This is… too much.
Looking through the palace roster was the best way Ye Xuan could think of to understand the situation quietly.The surnames of the eunuchs and maids around him, as well as the chief positions in the palace, can all be seen through the palace roster.
She had no choice but to burn the midnight oil and fight until she saw the rooster crow, then she let out a long, turbid breath.
“Gao Gongming,” Ye Xuan raised the door, and the door creaked softly. Gao Gongming, who was wearing turquoise eunuch’s clothes, immediately walked in, “I’m not feeling well, so I won’t go to the small court meeting today.” After saying that, she added listlessly, “Go to the Hanlin Academy and bring me all the compiled daily notes, and ask someone to wait outside.”
Gao Gongming respectfully accepted the order. No matter how doubtful he was, he would not ask any more questions.
Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction. This was the advantage of dressing up as an emperor. Of course, there were also many disadvantages. For example, she didn’t even have the courage to look through the piles of memorials on the table.
Of course, the living register is much thicker than the palace roster. A dozen boxes were carried from the small yellow gate, all of which were the living room attendants accompanying the emperor. They recorded the words and deeds of the emperor from Taizu to Su Ti’s generation.In fact, what Ye Xuan wanted to see was only about the host body, which was too conspicuous, so she had all the living things brought here.
Still swaying away, she plunged into the dense documents again.Looking at it, I realized that it was still the Yin Dynasty, and more than two hundred years had passed since Xiao Ye became emperor.
The reason why she became the first and probably the only female emperor since the founding of the Yin Dynasty was because when the late emperor was still alive, her four brothers fought endlessly for the position of crown prince, which eventually led to a catastrophe, resulting in the death of all four princes in one day.There was no man in the immediate family who could succeed to the throne. The late emperor did not want the throne to fall to the collateral bloodline, so he made his only legitimate daughter, the original wife, the crown princess, and passed the throne to her before his death.
Although the original emperor became emperor, there were three prime ministers in charge of the government. The late emperor also appointed two highly respected princes in the clan to assist his daughter.In line with the principle of the Holy Emperor ruling from the ground up, the original person actually had no worries about government affairs.Ye Xuan opened the piles of memorials on the table and saw that except for the greetings, all had passed through the hands of the Political Affairs Hall. She only needed to read them once to understand them.
That’s good. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she had been the Queen Mother, she had ignored government affairs for many years when she traveled to the past. She really didn’t know how to govern a country.
The original life was very easy. She went to court every day and showed up. After returning, she could recite poems, paint, play the piano and flute. The only thing that gave Ye Xuan a headache was everyone’s expectation for the original person, which was to give birth to a male heir as soon as possible.
As long as a male heir is born and established as the crown prince, when the crown prince turns fifteen, the original female emperor with the name of Hen Sichen can abdicate naturally, allowing the Yin Dynasty to return to normal track.
In the past, when the emperor was still young, although the ministers were anxious, they could not urge him.After last year’s Qianqiu Festival, the emperor had reached adulthood and could consider having a concubine.
So…should the female emperor’s concubine be called a male concubine?Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh at her own cold joke.There are now four so-called male concubines in the harem, but of course they cannot be called that in the palace, and they are all replaced by a certain young master.Obviously, Ye Xuan cannot have a heir, but the ministers don’t care about this. As long as she can give birth to a son and live smoothly, regardless of the legitimate concubines, she will be the next emperor of the Yin Dynasty.
After figuring out the general situation, Ye Xuan could sleep well.As for how she should determine the target of her attack without empathy, this is something she doesn’t want to think about yet.
She slept well for the first time in three days. Unfortunately, while she was still in a daze, Gao Gongming’s voice rang out: “Guan family, today is the day when the abbot of Yunmen Sect attends the pilgrimage. You’d better go to the court and show your face.”
The Dayin Dynasty has always had a tradition of worshiping Buddhism. By the time of Emperor Daizong, Zen Buddhism had reached its peak with the support of the imperial court.Among them, the Yunmen Sect, which is the leader in Zen Buddhism, was approved by Dai Zong. The abbot can wear purple cassocks. When the abbot succeeds him, he must go to the pilgrimage to see him. He can only become the temple master after receiving the emperor’s personal gift.
This was something that Ye Xuan had to show up, so Ye Xuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and got dressed under the service of all the palace maids. When she arrived at the Dazheng Palace, she was still yawning.
She did know the names of the ministers, but she didn’t know their faces, so she could only identify them by their clothes and standing.At a glance, there are all uncles with big beards and wrinkles on their faces.Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little uninterested. That’s right. People who can be officials in Beijing must be at least forty years old.
Starting from Prime Minister Chen An, the courtiers began to present memorials in sequence.The things that could be said in court were actually innocuous things. Ye Xuan listened indifferently, humming a few times from time to time. Because no one could tell that there was a new person in the core of this body, she felt more and more relaxed.
I couldn’t help but raise my sleeves and yawned again, and then I heard the Minister of Rites say: “Your Majesty, Wen Haiyue, the previous abbot of the Yunmen Sect, has passed away, and his successor has entered the palace to pay homage and is waiting outside the palace to hear the announcement.”
“Then declare it.” Ye Xuan said casually, yawning one after another, sleepily, and her vision seemed to be blurred.She resisted the urge to rub her eyes, and then heard a jingle from outside the palace door.
It was the sound of the golden rings on the Zen staff hitting each other as they moved. She raised her eyes and saw a purple cassock floating over.The man’s features were clear and slender, and the heavy purple color that should have been extremely precious when worn on him was like a clear moon breaking out of the clouds.At this time, the sky was bright outside the palace, and the sun was shining down with thousands of golden rays. The man’s body was covered with a handful of overflowing colors, and they dripped down like water. Only his plain clothes and shoes were left, and his peaceful features were neither sad nor happy.
Bang bang, bang bang…
Her heart beat rapidly, and Ye Xuan felt that the host consciousness dormant in her body had awakened and merged with her consciousness, making her heart almost jump out of her chest.
It was this man whom she stared at for a moment, the man named Huai Yan under Danqi, the object of her love at first sight.
