Willow branches on the moon.
When spring is in full swing.
…
time flies.
As if in the blink of an eye.
It's already mid-December.
Dalong Taiping six years, December 15th.
The day of the last great court meeting of the imperial court.
The cock crows three times, but the sky outside the window is still dim.
Young Master Liu, who was sleeping soundly, was directly pulled up from the warm bed by sisters Qi Ya and Huyan Yunyao.
"Husband, the rooster has crowed three times. It's time to get up and go to court."
Young Master Liu yawned sleepily, leaned forward and looked out the window.
Listening to the crowing of roosters from the backyard, Young Master Liu stretched out his hand to rub the dirt at the corners of his eyes, got up and got out of bed and walked towards the washing rack behind the screen.
Seeing this, sisters Qi Ya and Hu Yanjunyao walked towards the stove not far away and the other towards the wardrobe in the corner.
On top of their graceful bodies, the two sisters were both wearing thin and revealing clothes that loomed over their snow-white skin. They were each busy with what they were doing.
"Husband, please quickly test the temperature of the water. If it is hot, I will add some cold water for you to adjust it."
Liu Mingzhi reached out and touched the hot water in the copper basin, smiled lightly and waved his hand.
"Sister Ya, the water temperature is just right. There is no need to adjust it any more."
"Hey, that's good, that's good. Husband, you wash your face first, and I'll prepare salt water for you."
After Huyan Yunyao took out a dragon robe from the closet, she immediately turned around and looked at Young Master Liu.
"Husband, are you still wearing this black dragon robe today?"
"Yes, it's this one again."
"What about the crown? The flat crown or the heaven crown?"
"Pingtian crown."
"Okay, I will match it for you."
Soon.
Young Master Liu spit out the salt water in his mouth, silently walked to Qi Ya's dressing table and sat down.
"Sister Ya, you tie your husband's hair, and my sister will change his clothes."
"Yeah, sister knows."
After some tea time.
Under the attentive service of sisters Qi Ya and Huyan Yunyao, Young Master Liu put on his dragon robe and crown.
Qi Ya leaned over and put the ring on Young Master Liu's waist, then straightened Liu's waist and let out a gentle breath.
"Husband, it's ready."
Huyan Yunyao smiled brightly and directly handed the Heavenly Sword in her hand to her husband.
"Husband, Heavenly Sword."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, taking the Heavenly Sword from the beauty's hand.
"Sister Ya, Yao'er, my husband has gone to court first. You two sisters can continue to catch up on your sleep under the quilt."
"Hey, my sisters congratulate me on sending you off to your husband."
Young Master Liu chuckled, waved his hand, and rushed straight out of the beauty's boudoir.
Sister Qi Ya watched her husband's back gradually go away, and then gently closed the door.
Outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
Lu Song saw Mr. Liu walking out of the mansion and quickly opened the curtain on the carriage.
"Master, you are here."
"Let's see the young master."
"Um."
Young Master Liu responded casually and got into the carriage under Liu Song's service.
Liu Song waved his hands to Xiao Wu, Xiao Jiu and the others, and lightly whipped them.
"drive!"
After about half a stick of incense, Liu Song drove the carriage slowly to a stop outside the palace gate.
As soon as Young Master Liu stepped off the carriage, a group of Forbidden Army generals immediately knelt on one knee and saluted.
"We see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"You are exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi held the hilt of the Heavenly Sword at his waist with one hand and walked into the palace gate with steady and powerful steps.
"We respectfully send His Majesty back to the palace."
"Master, should we take a detour to the harem? Or go directly to Qinzheng Palace."
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the sky, then raised his head and gestured towards the majestic Qinzheng Hall in front of him.
"It's getting late. I guess all civil and military officials from the court have arrived. Let's go directly to the Qinzheng Hall."
"yes."
Young Master Liu nodded lightly and hurried towards the Qinzheng Palace.
"Master, many of the steps on the Thousand Steps Platform are already frozen. Please be careful where you step."
As soon as Master Liu and his servant came outside the palace door, Liu Song started shouting at the top of his voice.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials will greet you."
Hearing Liu Song's shout, the noisy conversation in the palace suddenly stopped.
Young Master Liu straightened his sleeves and walked directly into the hall.
When the civil and military officials in the Qinzheng Palace saw Young Master Liu walking into the palace, they quickly bowed and saluted.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi climbed onto the dragon platform with great strides. After sitting on the dragon chair, he looked down at the civil and military officials in the palace with a calm expression.
"My lords, dear ministers, please take your seats without ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea prepared by Xiao Chengzi and took a sip. He smiled lightly and glanced at the civil and military officials who were already seated on the dragon stage.
"Which dear sir, do you have a book that you would like to report?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the veteran minister Hubu has written a memorial."
"allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, took out two documents from his sleeves, stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I received a report from the local chief officials of Yuezhou, Xuanzhou, Dengzhou... a total of seven states the day before yesterday.
The people in the seven states were all affected by the snow disaster half a month ago."
After listening to Jiang Yuanming's report, Young Master Liu's pupils suddenly shrank.
"How is the snow disaster situation in various state capitals? What is the safety situation of the people in state capitals?"
To be continued...
