Everything the queen says is right

228, what are you doing?

But what she admired was not the emperor's sagacity, but the Dog Emperor's stupidity and naivety.

She never expected that the Dog Emperor, who had been sitting on the throne for decades, could still be so naive that he couldn't tell whether other people's words were true or false.

But this was excellent news for her.

Knowing this, from now on, she can use nice words to deceive the Dog Emperor. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The emperor felt happy when he heard her words, and his face broke out into smiles.

"Okay, okay, you are indeed my Chen Zhaoyi. Then I will think about it from another perspective according to what you said."

Haha, Jin Lan inadvertently gave him a big eye roll again, suppressing the nausea in his heart, and continued to smile.

She had just seen the goddess's plan for tomorrow. To be on the safe side, she had to stay with the Dog Emperor all night today to prevent him from regretting it halfway.

"Chen Zhaoyi is really the most powerful person in the country, and I can't help but feel distraught."

When the Dog Emperor said this, he looked at her with a leering look, showing his utmost despicableness.

Jinlan gagged subconsciously and almost vomited out her last meal.

But she couldn't vomit, she had to smile with her and pat the dog emperor's back thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, you are still eating and purifying yourself, but don't forget the instructions given by the goddess."

The emperor's old and rough hands held her soft hand dishonestly.

"I know that Chen Zhaoyi only needs to wait for me for a few more days."

Not only did he say this, he also patted it gently a few times.

The implications are very strong.

Jinlan pretended that she didn't understand and quickly changed the subject.

In short, the Dog Emperor was fooled in one night.

Early the next morning, Jin Lan picked up the Dog Emperor early.

Yes, it’s made with plucked pork.

Because she was dissatisfied with last night, she deliberately used a lot of force to soak the veil in cold water for a while, and then threw it directly in front of the dog emperor.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget today's ceremony. Come, I will wash and change your clothes for you."

Her voice sounds like she is being gentle and considerate, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the deep yin and yang aura.

The emperor was still immersed in his own sweet dream, but he was suddenly woken up by such an ice.

"Presumptuous! Who dares to do this to me!"

Tsk, you still have a bad temper.

Jinlan twitched the corner of her mouth and sat beside him gently.

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for you to wash up. Do you think I am not doing enough?"

Seeing the beauty early in the morning, no matter how much resentment he had in the emperor's heart, it disappeared.

"No, no, how could I feel that Chen Zhaoyi didn't do a good enough job?"

This sentence is enough.

Jin Lan also specially attached a series of refreshing packages that he prepared for the Dog Emperor.

This includes but is not limited to cold handkerchiefs, cold water for washing, and underwear that has not yet been warmed up.

The emperor always wanted to get angry, but because he still wanted to spend the night with Jinlan, he endured it.

Until the moment he saw Li Yi, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and pointed at Li Yi with trembling fingers.

"Chen Zhaoyi, where are my other clothes? Why do I only have one inner coat today?"

Jin Lan didn't care what nonsense he was talking about, she put her underwear on him and explained forcefully.

"Your Majesty is so busy that he forgot. Today is the last day for you to eat fast and purify yourself. It's time to go to the Star-Zhaing Tower to show your sincerity."

The emperor grabbed her arm and questioned.

"Then why do I only have inner clothes?"

Jinlan looked at him innocently, blinking her big eyes.

"I also read the request sent by the goddess yesterday. It asked your majesty to dress lightly to show your sincerity."

The emperor took a deep breath.

God knows that it only means that you need to wear thin clothing, and it doesn't say that you need to be so thin that you only wear undershirts.

"Where are my other clothes?"

"I have ordered the eunuch to take it to the Clothing Bureau last night, and now I only have this inner garment left with me."

Jinlan said it without feeling aggrieved, but she shrank her eyes and did not dare to look at him.

"I have so many clothes, where are the others!"

The emperor now only cares about whether he will be cold for a while before he can show any sympathy for her.

Jinlan trembled her body and took two steps back in fear, tears also falling down her face.

"I wanted to embroider more clothes for His Majesty. I thought Your Majesty wouldn't be able to wear them in the near future, so I took apart the threads of those clothes and wanted to sew some golden dragons on them to protect His Majesty."

The emperor was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He closed his eyes and barely restrained his emotions.

"I just want to ask you, where are the clothes that have been stripped of stitches?"

Jin Lan slowly stretched out her hand and pointed delicately to the small couch on the other side.

There was a pile of clothes there, but without exception, they were all clothes with the stitches removed.

"I saw His Majesty sleeping last night, so I wanted to take some time to embroider these. I lit the lamp and embroidered here all night, but who knew..."

It's not the least bit of blame for the emperor to blame her.

But at this moment, the personal eunuch came very close to tell the time.

"Your Majesty, the goddess will arrive in one stick of incense. It's time for you to have breakfast."

That's right, today's breakfast was specially arranged by Ah Cha because she was kindly worried that the Dog Emperor might faint from hunger during the three kowtows and nine bows.

The emperor, who had not tasted breakfast for a long time, naturally could not refuse.

He grabbed the inner garment from Jin Lan's hands and put it on himself.

"Hmph! Just wait for me!"

He wanted to wait until today's ceremony to settle the score with Jin Lan.

But he didn't notice the pride shining in Jin Lan's eyes.

For no other reason than that she didn't want to sleep with the Dog Emperor after being disgusted by him last night, so she came up with this idea to torture him.

Looking at it now, the effect is quite good. After all, the Dog Emperor will really have to wear his underwear to kowtow three times and nine times.

For this reason, she didn't even care about what she just said to the Dog Emperor, and instead followed him to have breakfast.

"What are you here for?"

The dog emperor stared at her with an evil expression, as if he was going to eat her alive in the next second.

"Your Majesty, I know I was reckless. You can punish me however you want. I just ask you to allow me to serve you breakfast again."

The Dog Emperor looked at her steadily for a few seconds without saying anything, which was regarded as his acquiescence.

But will Jinlan really let him have breakfast?
To be precise, the Dog Emperor did eat a few bites of breakfast at first.

But the unexpected happened soon.

"what!"

The bowl of hot porridge that Jin Lan was holding was deliberately careless and spilled all over the Dog Emperor.

"What on earth are you doing!"

What is she doing?

Of course I am torturing you in different ways.

Jinlan did not say what she was thinking, but followed the dog emperor's words and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it's my concubine's fault. I thought the porridge was warm, but I didn't expect it to be so hot. Look at my concubine's hands..."

As she said that, she stretched out her palm to show the emperor.

"Chen Zhaoyi, you..."

The emperor stopped once again when he wanted to scold her.

After all, Jinlan's hand was red with heat, and it definitely looked like traces of being burned.

But what he didn't know was that most of those marks were made by her putting her hands behind each other's back while they were kneeling down to talk.

"That's all, you can stay here, you don't have to follow me anymore."

The emperor was really unwilling to give up such a beauty that he had not yet enjoyed, but he did not dare to punish her easily.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

Jinlan didn't hesitate, let alone intercede for herself, and left directly with tears in her eyes.

But after she left, the emperor, who was supposed to continue eating, made no move.

It was because the bowl of hot porridge, although it was not sprinkled on the emperor, was poured equally on every dish, making people completely lose their appetite.

"Take all the dishes away."

After all, the emperor didn't want to take another bite.

But he said that at the same time, Ah Cha also packed up and left Tingyuyuan.

Last night she was preparing, making plans, and writing instructions to everyone. She stayed up very late, and she didn't have much energy when she woke up this morning.

Fortunately, the eldest princess came to Tingyuyuan early today just to wake her up and enter the palace with her.

The eldest princess saw the blackness and listlessness in her eyes and felt very distressed.

"Comrade Ah Cha, we are still some distance away from the palace, please take a nap for a while."

But Ah Cha waved his hand and rubbed his temples.

"No, we have to make some more preparations to keep up the energy to deal with the Dog Emperor."

This will be her last confrontation with the Dog Emperor before leaving Beijing.

"But you have to rush on your way later, so..."

The eldest princess was only halfway through her words when she saw Ah Cha raising her hand to stop her.

"Comrade Princess, these are my choices and what I should do. You don't have to worry about me."

She has said this, so the eldest princess naturally cannot say anything else.

It's just that it's inevitable that I'll be a little more worried about her.

The eldest princess knew very well that supervising the dog emperor's three kowtows and nine bows today was a very labor-intensive task. In addition, Ah Cha had not had a good rest last night and would start traveling later in the afternoon. She was really worried about Ah Cha. Whether your body can tolerate it.

Ugh.

It's all his fault, that nervous dog king brother.

If he were a wise king who could recognize the current situation and abdicate early to hand over the world to truly talented people, then why would Ah Cha do this?

Even though she was thinking this way, she actually knew in her heart that this was just her dream.

The carriage staggered to the palace gate.

Ah Cha didn't stop too much. Under the leadership of the leading eunuch, Ah Cha went straight to the main hall.

She told the emperor to wait for her at the entrance of the hall, but she wanted to see if the dog emperor could remember this.

Fortunately, the Dog Emperor has always cherished his own life, so he really made full preparations outside the main hall and gathered a group of ministers to greet him outside the main hall.Seeing her coming, the emperor's eyes lit up after waiting for a long time. He brushed his body slightly and gave a half salute.

"Master Goddess."

The emperor took the initiative to salute. After looking at each other, the ministers naturally had no choice but to kneel on the ground and perform a standard salute.

"Chen has met the goddess."

Ah Cha was startled.

The pile of requests she gave the emperor yesterday didn't seem to indicate that she needed the Dog Emperor to bring his ministers to greet her.

What kind of trouble is the Dog Emperor making?

Her question soon came to an answer.

"My Lady Goddess, I listened to Chen Zhaoyi's analysis yesterday and felt that I should bring all the ministers to witness my sincerity to God. That's why I did this. Is this feasible?"

Oh, it turned out to be Jinlan’s idea.

That's fine.

Ah Cha not only kept his doubts to himself, but also looked at these ministers in a dignified manner.

"Emperor, your method is feasible, but..."

She stopped her words specifically, and continued after seeing the emperor swallowing his saliva because of nervousness: "If the emperor brings his ministers to kowtow and bow three times and nine times, it will inevitably make God mistakenly think that the emperor is not the most sincere person in his heart, and the effect may be There will be some discounts.”

Discounted effect?
The emperor's complexion turned pale upon hearing this.

He didn't want to be self-defeating at this critical moment.

"Is it okay if I perform the ceremony and they can be witnesses?"

Of course this is possible.

It's simply not feasible.

Ah Cha was happy to watch the dog emperor suffer alone.

However, no matter how happy she was, she couldn't show it. Ah Cha stretched out her hand and made a few calculations before giving her answer.

"It works."

The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief.

Everything seemed to be going wrong for him when he woke up in the morning, but he finally got a good thing.

But before his relief lasted long, Ah Cha's words surrounded his ears like a magic sound.

"Emperor, it's almost time and the ceremony should begin."

The emperor was caught off guard by what she said, and was even a little confused.

"Ah? The ritual...the ceremony is about to begin..."

Ah Cha raised her hand to wave over the sedan chair beside her, speaking nonchalantly.

"Emperor, it would be bad if you were late."

She had already reminded her of what she had said. No matter how many dissatisfaction and questions he had in his heart, the emperor did not dare to raise them. He had no choice but to start the ceremony as he saw last night.

The emperor's hands were raised to eyebrows, and he bowed [-] degrees in front of him. He kept his hands clasped together, his forehead touching his palms, and said "get up and bow" three times in a row to express three obeisances.

Then, kneel down on the ground, put your knees together, put your hands together on the ground, straighten your arms, lower your head, touch the ground, and kowtow once.

Repeating "get up - kneel down - kowtow" like this is a small cycle, which counts as three bows and one kowtow.

Repeating three small reincarnations in this way can be regarded as a complete three-kowtow and nine-prostrations.

What is Ah Cha doing?

She sat comfortably on the sedan chair, like a strict teacher, carefully supervising every move of the Dog Emperor, and pointing out his problems from time to time.

"Emperor, the angle of your bow is wrong, go back and try again!"

"If you don't put your hands together, go back and start over!"

"Kowtowing without touching the ground, fall back and start over!"

Just like this, she kept saying it to correct her actions, and she insisted that the ministers who were watching all looked away guiltily.

After all, the goddess can point out the emperor's problems, and the emperor will not do anything to the goddess.

But when these ministers see the dignified emperor losing face, they will be put in the shoes of the emperor.

But Ah Cha doesn't care what these ministers think.

She had been unhappy with them for a long time, and she just took this opportunity to embarrass the dog emperor to give them a good beating, which could pave the way for the eldest princess to win over the courtiers after she left the capital.

The emperor has come back more than a dozen times, but every time he is thrown back to the starting point and starts again, so he has not been able to successfully cross the starting point.

"My Lady Goddess, I am..."

"Emperor, I have told you sincerely and sincerely. If you really don't want to, just start the ceremony on your own."

The ceremony has begun. If the goddess is really angry and goes away, then I will lose more than I gain.

Therefore, the Dog Emperor quickly expressed his attitude without any hesitation.

"No, no, no, I know, I will do it now!"

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Ah Cha would leave suddenly, he immediately made a very standard three kowtows and nine bows.

It's the kind of standard that even Ah Cha can't find anything wrong with.

"Well, the emperor is doing well this time, keep up the good work."

After saying this, Acha himself was stunned for a moment.

Good guy, I really have that kind of strict teacher vibe.

So on a whim, she added a compliment after each of the emperor's standard three kowtows and nine bows.

"Yes, very good."

"Go on, hold on."

……

It was as if she wanted to build a professional praise team. When she was tired of praising herself, she even raised her hand to summon the right minister.

"Right Prime Minister, I am a little tired from talking. I know that you are familiar with etiquette, so it is up to you to watch the emperor's actions."

"You have to remember, if the emperor fails to make a move well, but you don't see it, the emperor will go back to the starting point."

amount……

This was the first time that the right minister regretted coming to court and offending Acha.

Originally, he should have been confined at home yesterday, but because he thought that the goddess might make a big move today, he specifically asked the emperor to let him come to court again.

But he never expected that the goddess would find him a job that would offend the dog emperor.

"What? Isn't the right minister unwilling to help the emperor correct his actions?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor's sharp gaze followed.

"No, I am willing."

Agreeing now is the best way for him to stay humble like a goddess for the time being.

Seeing him like this, Ah Cha was satisfied and waved his hand to indicate for them to continue the ceremony.

But the right minister still didn't dare him. He almost didn't dare to blink. He could only slow down and walk slowly with the emperor's pace.

He kept hinting in his mind that he should be careful and prudent, and also prayed that the emperor's movements must be standard so that the goddess would not see any clues.

But what to be afraid of.

Just when he was already covered in cold sweat, Ah Cha's questioning words came randomly.

"Right Prime Minister, are you so ignorant of etiquette?"

"The emperor bowed at the wrong angle just now, but you didn't point it out. As a minister, do you just want to watch the emperor continue to make mistakes like this and be forced to go back to the starting point?"

A big accusation was thrown at him, and the right prime minister's face was distorted, and his legs and feet almost went weak and he wanted to kneel down.

"My Lady Goddess, I am true..."

"That's enough! Don't be an eyesore in front of me anymore!"

Acha originally wanted to teach him a lesson and rub his momentum away, but now that he had achieved his goal, of course he got him out of his sight.

But the emperor is different.

Now he is almost going crazy from the torture of three kowtows and nine bows, both physically and mentally.

Now it's even worse that the Prime Minister didn't notice his movements and he was about to go back to the starting point. How could that be possible?

The emperor's heart, together with yesterday's events, left a deep mark on the right minister.

But he had nothing to do, he no longer wanted to care about the emperor's face, and looked at Acha pitifully.

"Goddess, I have already traveled a while. Wouldn't it be too troublesome to go back to the starting point?"

Little did he know, his words played right into Ah Cha’s mind.

She was originally too lazy to have the patience to accompany the emperor from the beginning again, but now that the emperor took the initiative to bring it up was exactly what she wanted.

"Emperor, only three things can happen. You don't need to go back to the original point this time, but you still need to find a trustworthy minister to supervise you on my behalf."

"The rules still follow the right minister's instructions. If something goes wrong again, then I can't be blamed."

The warnings have been spoken here, and the opportunity has been given again. How could the emperor be ignorant.

He was very discerning and scanned the ministers several times before finally selecting the Minister of Rites.

He didn't believe it. With the Minister of Rites personally supervising him, his actions could still go wrong.

The emperor's desire for life was suddenly aroused. In addition, he wanted to end the ceremony early and was afraid of falling back to the starting point. His movements immediately became standard and fast.

Ah Cha felt like laughing.

From her point of view on the sedan chair, the dog emperor's three kowtows and nine bows one after another really looked like a zombie that had just escaped from the coffin board, jumping here and there.

She was quite energetic after watching the play, but the eldest princess secretly went to see Jin Lan.

Yes, the eldest princess was not supposed to enter the palace today, but she came here specifically to greet the Queen Mother and check on the emperor, but in fact she just wanted to see Jinlan.

Yesterday, after listening to Ah Cha's detailed explanation of the connection between Zhang Ming's identity and Jin Lan, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's nothing else but Jinlan's behavior yesterday was so abnormal.

Based on her years of understanding as a close friend, she didn't think Jin Lan would be such a calm and restrained person.

After she returned home yesterday, she became more and more worried about it, so she made a special trip like this.

Jinlan was humming a little tune and playing with the clothes of the Dog Emperor. She was quite surprised when she saw the eldest princess.

"Princess? Why are you here?"

Before the eldest princess could answer her question, her eyes were attracted by the pile of clothes beside her.

"What are you doing?"

If she read it correctly, these clothes belong to her good brother, and they should never appear here so easily.

Jinlan held up a piece and asked, "Are you talking about these clothes?"

The eldest princess swallowed and nodded subconsciously.

"Oh, these are the things I took apart for the Dog Emperor on the pretext that I wanted to embroider a golden dragon, so that he could go and bow three times and nine times wearing only an undershirt today."

The eldest princess' current surprise could not be expressed in words. She looked up and down at Jin Lan as if looking at a monster.

"He was just wearing an undershirt?"
