Do not let the Nine-Tails Kingdom take a single step into Myriad Laws Under Heaven (4,000 words)

"Your Majesty... it is time for morning court... Your Majesty..."

Inside the Spiritual Spring Palace, Wei Xun approached Xiao Mo's bedside and called softly.

Xiao Mo yawned and slowly opened his eyes. "Morning court? What morning court?"

Ever since his rebirth, he had not attended morning court even once.

After all, he had been stripped of all power. What was the point of attending court?

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"Yesterday, the Prime Minister asked this old servant to inform Your Majesty that he hoped you would attend court once. There seems to be something important."

"Oh, I remember now." Xiao Mo waved a hand. "Help me dress."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Xun bowed and nodded, then hurriedly summoned the palace maids to dress Xiao Mo.

The Zhou Kingdom had two kinds of dragon robes: formal attire for court and casual attire for everyday wear.

Standing to one side, Wei Xun watched His Majesty put on his formal dragon robes, emotion stirring in his heart.

He could no longer remember how long it had been since he last saw His Majesty dressed for court. He felt that this was what His Majesty ought to wear.

Simply standing there, His Majesty looked like a wise sovereign.

If he could see His Majesty regain power within his lifetime, how wonderful that would be. Then he could face the Late Emperor without shame.

"You old fool, why do you suddenly look as though you're about to cry?"

Having changed into his formal dragon robes, Xiao Mo turned to look at Wei Xun.

"This old servant was merely thinking that Your Majesty will soon be married. Then the Empress and imperial consorts will be there to attend to you." Wei Xun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and offered an excuse.
