I Want to Be Emperor
Life is a busy and hectic affair, but I steal a moment of leisure to enjoy the fleeting moments.
Being bound by worldly affairs is never truly over; let us seize the moment and enjoy a moment of leisure.
Gao Yunyi sat in a rocking chair, gently patting himself with a palm-leaf fan, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a lazy expression of someone who had stolen half a day of leisure.
Lines rose and fell within the pale white robe, and a small white head would occasionally peek out from the collar and sleeves. Despite being a noble and majestic dragon head, it was full of exquisite cuteness.
In the vegetable garden in the yard,
A chubby little boy was working hard, turning over the soil with a small hoe.
Even when they were exhausted, with a sore back and drenched in sweat, they didn't stop to rest for a moment.
No way,
After he finishes hoeing the ground, he still needs to go to the Mingjing Study Hall to study.
Although his older brother said that studying wouldn't lead to anything, he still decided to study.
My aunt said that reading can make one wise, broaden one's knowledge, cultivate one's character, rectify one's mind, understand the rise and fall of dynasties, and distinguish between good and evil.
You can become a useful person.
He wanted to be a useful person because his older brother disliked useless people.
Thinking about this,
The chubby boy became even more motivated to turn over the soil and hoe the ground.
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock came from outside the courtyard, the sound polite and respectful.
The chubby boy glanced at his older brother and, seeing that his brother hadn't even blinked, put down his hoe, got up, and went to open the door.
"Greetings, Aunt."
The chubby boy bowed politely.
Xiao Zhaohuang, standing outside the door, smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that his nephew's reading over the past few days had yielded significant results, and the changes in him were clearly visible.
Xiao Zhaohuang nodded, then gracefully walked into the courtyard.
Xiao Zhaohuang greets Azure Profound Immortal Venerable.
Xiao Zhaohuang bowed deeply to the Immortal who sat in the rocking chair, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, showing more politeness and respect than her little nephew.
"Um."
Gao Yunyi simply gave a soft "hmm," which was extremely impolite.
But Xiao Zhaohuang didn't mind at all; instead, he smiled slightly and his eyes were filled with laughter.
She admired the Immortals' uniqueness, their disregard for worldly customs and etiquette, and their indifference to fame and fortune.
Isolated from the world, aloof and self-assured.
"Reporting to the Immortal, I have already ordered the collection of all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the entire Capital. They are just outside the gate. Shall we bring them in?"
"Bring it in."
After receiving the Immortal's reply, Xiao Zhaohuang immediately waved towards the door.
Then a group of guards carrying several heavy boxes walked slowly into the courtyard with their heads bowed.
The box was opened.
Inside were hundreds of years old lingzhi mushrooms, ginseng, polygonatum, he shou wu, pearls, and other rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Gao Yunyi slightly raised his eyelids, but his heart remained unmoved upon seeing these rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were unseen by ordinary people.
With just a gentle wave of his hand,
Several large boxes of heavenly materials and earthly treasures had all vanished without a trace.
Then he slowly closed his eyes, too lazy to say another word.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhaohuang raised his hand, and the guards carried the boxes away from the courtyard with light steps, not daring to look up at the Immortal from beginning to end.
But Xiao Zhaohuang did not leave with them.
Standing right in front of the Immortal,
Jingjing gazing at Immortal's unparalleled beauty.
Is there anything else?
Gao Yunyi asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhaohuang took a deep breath, then knelt down solemnly before the Immortal and performed a grand salute.
"Immortal Venerable, the Liang Kingdom is currently in turmoil, the imperial family is dwindling, and the world is without a ruler. I Xiao Zhaohuang, do not covet the throne, but I do not wish to see the country in chaos and the people suffering from turmoil."
"Zhao Huang knew that it was rare for a woman to become emperor in history. Without divine will and divine decree as a guarantee, even with military power, it would be difficult to silence the public opinion."
"Therefore, Zhao Huang humbly requests that if the Immortal is willing to stand on my side, I will discuss with the Immortal the future when I take charge of the nation and the well-being of the people."
Gao Yunyi: "Speak like a human being."
Xiao Zhaohuang: "I want to be the emperor."
Bite--
[Mission: Ascend the throne and become emperor.]
[Mission Requirements: Support Xiao Zhaohuang in successfully ascending the throne and becoming the first Empress in history.]
[Quest Reward: 4000 Experience Points, Item:???]
[Would you accept?]
Gao Yunyi's hand, which was waving a fan, suddenly stopped.
To be honest,
He's getting bored in the Capital and is planning to leave in a couple of days.
But unexpectedly,
The mission came so suddenly,
They kept him there.
No way,
The task rewards are too much.
He's just a little short of experience to reach level 29, at which point he'll be able to accept the quest to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
So this task came at just the right time.
He had no reason not to accept it.
It doesn't matter to him who becomes emperor. Even if it's a stray dog on the roadside, as long as the reward for the task is generous enough, he wouldn't mind grabbing the dog by the neck and throwing it onto the throne.
Gao Yunyi accepted the task without hesitation.
The mission requires supporting Xiao Zhaohuang's successful ascension to the throne, which means he will have to stay in the Capital for some more time.
That won't do.
There was nothing left for him to cherish in this place; his restless heart, yearning to wander the world, was beginning to stir.
When do you plan to ascend the throne and become emperor?
Gao Yunyi asked.
Upon hearing Xiao Zhaohuang was taken aback.
"Immortal Venerable, you... you've agreed?"
"I've agreed, so when do you plan to become emperor?"
Gao Yunyi pressed on, somewhat impatiently.
Xiao Zhaohuang was initially somewhat uneasy, but now he was filled with doubt.
It seems like the Immortal is even more anxious than she is.
"My father has just passed away. According to the rites, even if I ascend the throne before his coffin, the enthronement ceremony will still have to be held more than twenty days later."
Xiao Zhaohuang replied.
"So long?"
Gao Yunyi frowned subconsciously.
"This is already the timeframe we've managed to compress as much as possible. The court, together with the Ministry of Rites Ministry of Rites, will decide on the Emperor's posthumous title and temple name, select an auspicious day to complete all the rituals for the national mourning, and issue an edict to the entire country, ordering the regional Princes to come to the capital to mourn."
Xiao Zhaohuang explained patiently.
"This is really troublesome."
Gao Yunyi muttered something to himself, then closed his eyes and pretended to doze off again.
Never mind,
He wasn't an unreasonable person; after all, he had just killed the man's father, so he should at least give him some face.
It's only been about twenty days.
He can still wait.
He gently waved the round fan in his hand again, exuding an air of listless languor.
Xiao Zhaohuang knew this meant the Immortals were seeing him off.
He then bowed and took his leave without further ado.
She has achieved the result she wanted, and can finally act freely and boldly on what she wants to do.
But before she could even step out the door,
The Immortal's languid yet aloof voice reached my ears again.
"Is your embroidery finished?"
Xiao Zhaohuang's body trembled violently.
A thin crack suddenly appeared in the grand vision I had built in my heart.
A touch of tender affection seeped out from the cracks.
She quickly lowered her eyes, concealing the fleeting turmoil within them, and forcefully suppressed those inappropriate emotions deep within her heart.
"Almost... almost finished embroidering."
"Yes, remember to give it to me when you're done embroidering."
"Good."
After saying that,
Xiao Zhaohuang then stepped out of the courtyard gate.
Pace,
They became much more flustered.
