When Verdant Green Maiden said this, countless ministers sprang to their feet.
Several military officers glared straight at her and shouted furiously, "How dare you!"
Verdant Green Maiden ignored them and lightly tapped the table.
Two dull knocks rang out.
Green Clothed Dragon Woman said, "Silence!"
The moment those two words were spoken, the Grand Hall fell silent. The music and dancing stopped, and even the military officers sat back down under the inexplicable pressure in her voice, staring at Verdant Green Maiden in shock.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was shaken. He hurriedly said to Verdant Green Maiden, "True Person, please calm your anger!"
"Don't worry. I'm not angry."
Verdant Green Maiden shook her head. "If I were angry, you wouldn't get off so easily! Still, I won't force you. You're welcome to check whether the Great Ming Calendar is accurate. I can tell you plainly: for the next two hundred years, there won't be a more accurate calendar."
After hearing this, Xiao Yan drew a deep breath and nodded. "Very well. I'll have people look into it."
The banquet ended on a sour note.
Xiao Yan had wanted to arrange for Verdant Green Maiden to stay in the palace, but she went straight back to Dragon Treasure Garden instead. She hadn't visited in decades, but this time there weren't many weeds in Dragon Treasure Garden. After she'd given him a scare, Xiao Daocheng had indeed established a rule that the place be cleaned regularly.
"At least he put some thought into it."
Verdant Green Maiden muttered, patting Old Yellow Ox. "Brother Ox, you won't get to enjoy a feast this time."
Old Yellow Ox: "..."
It was probably better that he didn't get to enjoy one.
Were the weeds here even fit for an ox to eat?!
