I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1334 Your Grandma Doesn't Like You

A group of people, or rather, a group of people and a tiger, kept a low profile when entering the capital, but had to become high-profile after entering the imperial city.

Li Xizhi personally accompanied him, with Ajali, Ping Ruoshui, Huang Xu and other Grandmasters of the Ultimate Realm following him.

Even the members of the Huanglong Guard and the Chixia Army followed around.

While everyone's gaze was drawn, intentionally or unintentionally, to the enormous black tiger, it was also drawn to the middle-aged man walking at the front, looking around leisurely.

The man took a deep breath as he stepped into Chengtian Gate.

When the city gates closed, Black Tiger was released from the cage covered with a large black cloth.

That was truly startling.

After all, I had never seen such a huge tiger before, with black fur and blood-red eyes, which was particularly terrifying.

The release of such a 'monster' within the palace could not help but cause alarm to the Radiant Dragon Guard and the Crimson Cloud Army.

The old Shu King Xia Fengye looked around and sighed with a smile, "Sending so many people makes the emperor seem petty. Do you think I can escape now?"

Li Xizhi said with a smile, "Your Highness has misunderstood. We are not here to pick you up. This is His Majesty's order for us to welcome the Prince of Shu. The Prince of Shu has made great contributions, and in principle, all the officials should welcome him outside the city. However, the Prince of Shu did not want to do so, so we were asked to wait here. You said you were here to watch over you? That's not necessary. You've already arrived in the capital, where else can you go?"

Although Li Xizhi said it with a smile, his words showed absolutely no respect for Xia Fengye.

Xia Fengye laughed and said, "It was I who was being presumptuous."

Li Xizhi nodded: "It's alright, everyone understands, no one will laugh at you."

Xia Fengye glanced at Li Xizhi: "I remember you were the one who followed Yan Kuangtu and Yan Yunxiao back then, right?"

Li Xizhi said to Xia Fengye, "It's me."

As he spoke, Li Xizhi pursed his lips: "I was the one who almost shot you to death back then. As a result, you sent a lot of people to hunt me down. I still have a scar on my butt, which was left by one of your men back then."

Xia Fengye laughed and said, "Then it's my fault?"

Li Xizhi nodded: "Otherwise what?"

Xia Fengye narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but laugh out loud. You come to kill me, and I have someone kill you. Is that my fault?

Li Xizhi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "But Your Highness, rest assured, the matter is over, and I have forgiven you."

Xia Fengye looked at Li Xizhi with a resentful expression.

Li Xizhi said, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. If you are angry, you will give me a reason to beat you. At most, I will be fined and forced to serve as a common soldier for a few days. If I beat you, you will be lying in bed and will definitely have many scars on your buttocks."

People around Li Xizhi were looking at him.

Thinking that although this commander of the Shence Army was usually a jovial and unserious person, he was definitely here today to say these things to provoke Xia Fengye.

Wu Qinhu smiled and looked out of the palace wall. He saw that the old blind man had met the old celestial master.

Just moments ago, the old blind man was about to enter the palace when he was suddenly sent flying.

Others were surprised, but Wu Qinhu saw it clearly: the person in the palace had made the move, clearly indicating that they didn't want to see the old blind man.

The old blind man didn't dare to curse, so he shrank back and left.

But Wu Qinhu knew that, given the old blind man's temper, he must have made up stories about that person countless times in his mind.

Xia Tingyu glanced at her father but didn't say anything. She simply reached out and patted the tiger's head that was walking beside her, trying to make it behave.

Xia Tingyu believes that her father should have expected his current predicament. After all, no one can truly escape punishment for wrongdoing, especially since...
What could she do? She was surrounded by a group of Grandmasters at the pinnacle of their cultivation.

Black Tiger was quite obedient. It was only occasionally released from its cage along the way, but it seemed to know it was going somewhere else, so it wasn't annoyed.

Although it looked around curiously, it kept its head down and shook its head.

suddenly
A large hand pressed down on the black tiger's head.

Black Tiger was unhappy and immediately turned around, letting out a low growl. But the moment he saw the tall woman clearly, Black Tiger obediently lowered his head, and his growl suddenly stopped.

"Once you're in the palace, don't shout nonsense. If you're too stubborn, there are plenty of ways to make you back down. What do you say, Xia Fengye?"

The moment Yan Yunxiao appeared, everyone immediately clasped their hands in greeting, even Xia Tingyu clasped her hands in a bow.

Zhang Junyi gasped, finally meeting the world-renowned Commander of Yan University!
The great general once told them, "If you saw that woman, Yan Yunxiao, your hearts would surely pound! Mainly, you'd be terrified!"
Just as the general said, Zhang Junyi and the other followers of Xia Tingyu were all seasoned soldiers, but when they saw that tall woman who touched the black tiger as if it were a kitten, they trembled for no reason.

“It’s a good cat, but don’t let it get aggressive. There are a lot of people in the capital lately.” Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Tingyu.

Xia Tingyu's fox-like eyes noticed Shen Tu Kuyue, who had somehow ended up crouching on the tiger's back. The main reason wasn't because Shen Tu Kuyue had suddenly appeared, but because there was a handprint on Shen Tu Kuyue's face.

"Look at you, never seen a beautiful woman get slapped before?" Ku Yue, riding on Black Tiger, roared at Wu Qin Hu with a displeased expression. After speaking, Ku Yue puffed out her cheeks as if she had suffered a great injustice and had nowhere to vent her anger.

Wu Qinhu laughed even harder.

Xia Tingyu turned her gaze to Yan Yunxiao: "Greetings, Aunt Yan. I heard you had a martial arts competition today."

Yan Yunxiao glanced at Xia Tingyu and said casually, "I knew you were coming, so I had them all go."

After saying that, Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Tingyu and said, "You've worked hard this time, Lord Shu."

Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."

Xia Fengye kept looking at Yan Yunxiao. Decades had passed, yet she seemed unchanged from years ago. "Yunxiao... no, now you should call me Commander Yan. I'm returning to the capital..."

Snapped!
Before Xia Fengye could finish speaking, Yan Yunxiao had already slapped him across the face.

Xia Fengye was sent flying backwards, but Yan Yunxiao clearly controlled his strength; otherwise, Xia Fengye would have far more than just a slap mark on his face.

Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Fengye coldly: "Help him up, His Majesty and the Empress are still waiting."

Li Xi stepped forward with a smile and helped Xia Fengye up.

Xia Fengye chuckled a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yan Yunxiao: "Still the same temper as back then, Yan Yunxiao."

Yan Yunxiao said, "If it were me in the past, you would have already lost your head."

Yan Yunxiao didn't say anything more, but looked at Zhang Junyi: "His Majesty already knows about your matter. The Court of Imperial Clan Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Secretariat are discussing and deciding on the matter of Dian Junming entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and they will give you an explanation. Moreover, the Prince of Shu has also written a letter recommending you. After that, you will have a choice, and it's all up to you to choose. Now someone will take you to a place to rest. After His Majesty finishes talking with the Prince of Shu and returns to his residence, someone will call you."

Zhang Junyi and the others were taken aback and looked at Xia Tingyu, because they had never heard of any such recommendation.

But knowing that this was not the time to ask about it, he immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and left.

Yan Yunxiao then looked at Huang Xu, Ping Ruoshui, and the others. They naturally understood what he meant and nodded with smiles.

Although the journey to Shu is far away, there is no rush to report back.

And now is the best time to rest.

As a result, the team that originally seemed large suddenly dwindled to just a handful of people.

Yan Yunxiao thanked Wu Qinhu first and then said that Wu Dameng had a match today, and that he could go watch it after this was over.

Wu Qinhu nodded with a smile. To be honest, he really missed his silly granddaughter.

Moreover, he had to pay a personal visit to the Empress and His Majesty this time, as his silly granddaughter had been taken in as a disciple by the Empress and received a lot of care from His Majesty.

Xia Fengye, who had been slapped, remained the same, but Yan Yunxiao did not go over to him again and simply walked beside Wu Qinhu.

However, Xia Fengye would occasionally let out a bitter smile, whether it was because he saw the palace where he had grown up and now looked unfamiliar or because he remembered something else.

Walking through the palace, the palace servants gasped when they saw the large black tiger, thinking of staying far away, mainly because it was too frightening.

But when they saw the commander of Yan University, they all felt much more at ease.

Xia Fengye, observing the palace servants, remarked, "I heard that the Empress held some kind of exam in the palace to select female officials and eunuchs. Judging from their movements, they are quite efficient."

Li Xizhi walked beside Xia Fengye and said with a smile, "Her Majesty the Empress has produced many wonderful things. As for your comment about the palace servants being efficient, isn't that why there's hope for the future? As long as they're willing to learn, they can rise through the ranks by passing the exams. Everyone with ambition is working hard. There will be plenty of opportunities for the old prince to see, so don't be so ignorant now."

Li Xizhi is the epitome of being omnipresent; even over something as trivial as this, he still has to take a jab at Xia Fengye.

But it's not Li Xizhi's fault; he's petty and holds grudges!
Xia Fengye didn't say anything.

But just as Xia Fengye was about to enter the passageway leading to Lingqi Pavilion, he saw the tallest building, Hua'e Tower.

But after only glancing at it, he looked away and gazed at the passageway before him: "The Empress and the Emperor live in that small Lingqi Pavilion?"

Having said that, he looked at the courtyards along one side of the passageway, which were far from grand. He said that such courtyards were commonplace in his Shu King's palace, and those courtyards were often where servants lived. Looking towards the gates where servants were leaving, he muttered to himself, "To become emperor and not live in palaces and halls, but here, is that really worthwhile? Or is it just for show? And the empress, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Why not live here instead of in such a large palace?"

Yan Yunxiao glanced at Xia Fengye, but strangely didn't make a move. Instead, he raised his hand and placed it on the shoulder of Kuyue, who was about to approach.

Li Xizhi, on the other hand, had already laughed and raised his hand.

But it was also at this time.
Upon hearing this, everyone remarked, "Speaking like this behind someone's back is not something an elder should do, Thirteenth Prince. No wonder your grandmother doesn't like you."

Then, I heard, "Why is your tiger so big? Does it bite?"

Xia Tingyu lowered her eyes and looked at the person squatting in front of her tiger.
