I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 16 A legend, a god of war level existence!
Outside the palace gate, many people from the Chu family came, even the ancestor of the Chu family came out.

Since they were not summoned by Emperor Li Chen, they could only wait at the door.

When the head of the Chu family saw that Chu Ruoyan was walking a little slowly, he even wanted to push her in with force.

But his wife stopped him from doing this rashly and said that this was the imperial palace and he should behave properly.

The head of the Chu family gave up, but he was still very uneasy and excited.

The ancestor is old, and whether the Chu family can survive in the imperial capital depends on Chu Ruoyan's entry into the palace this time.

The head of the Chu family has been in the imperial capital for so many years, so he must be a veteran.

In his opinion, Chu Ruoyan had excellent appearance and was summoned into the palace by the young new emperor who had no concubines. Apart from considering taking a concubine, there was basically nothing else to do.

He actually hoped that Chu Ruoyan would not come out after entering the palace this time.

He even arranged for some eunuchs to go to the Queen Mother and say a few good words to her and ask her to take more care of her.

From the moment she stepped into the palace, Chu Ruoyan looked as if she had lost all desire to live.

Even though she practiced so hard, she could not escape the fate of being used as a tool.

She was filled with rejection of this place and felt that everything here was cold.

The only warmth in her heart might be that Xiao Ming mentioned that he would be able to take her away in seven days.

As the palace maid walked slowly in this magnificent imperial palace, she had just received instructions from her father and was earnestly explaining the rules of the palace to Chu Ruoyan.

Chu Ruoyan had mixed feelings and couldn't listen at all. In a daze, she had arrived at the door of the imperial study.

She was very unfamiliar with the emperor inside, so unfamiliar that she was a little scared.

There is one thing Chu Ruoyan knows, that is, she cannot offend the emperor.

If the emperor was angry, she and her family would be implicated.

So Chu Ruoyan tried her best to force a smile, and after the palace maid informed her, she stepped into the imperial study.

At this time, Li Chen heard someone coming in and took a look.

Chu Ruoyan was so stunning when she appeared on stage.

The long hair like a black snow waterfall makes people feel elegant and agile at first glance.

There was a star-like bright light flashing in her lavender eyes, and her pink and delicate nose was tall and straight.

Her light pink lips are slightly pursed, and the overall look is elegant and dignified.

The snow-white skin exudes a delicate and graceful aura.

There was an opening on the hem of her skirt, and Li Chen could vaguely see through the opening that she had a pair of long legs.

The hem of her dress was tied with golden sequins, revealing her collarbone clearly, making her look even thinner.

It's that feeling that makes you want to take a few bites and leave your mark on it.

At her age, her breasts are already quite big.

If Xiao Ming saw this, he might be so angry that he would bite his teeth until they bleed.

Because when Chu Ruoyan usually practiced with them, she was wrapped up like a dumpling, and nothing could be seen except her hands and face. How could she wear a low-cut slit in front of Li Chen!
Chu Ruoyan's outfit was carefully selected by her family.

The purpose is also very obvious, which is to show all her advantages.

Even with her usual attire, she is already able to drive countless young talents crazy, let alone her now.

She could even imagine the emperor's stupid behavior when he saw her.

Thinking of this, she even felt a little disgusted.

At the beginning, it was just as she expected. She felt a little bit of attention after entering the door.

But who would have thought that the owner of this gaze just said calmly: "I'm still busy, please find a place to sit down first."

This answer caught Chu Ruoyan off guard, and she looked at Li Chen curiously.

What came into view was a handsome face with clear contours and firm lines, which was both majestic and handsome.

Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, shining with wisdom and determination.

He frowned slightly and stared at the memorial in his hand. His focused expression was awe-inspiring.

The moment Chu Ruoyan saw Li Chen, she felt the whole world became dim.

Only Li Chen is the only spirit in this world.

What’s even more amazing is that a mighty dragon power emanates from him, and his entire body is shrouded in a hazy fairy light and mist.

With such a divine appearance, one feels as if an immortal has fallen into the mortal world.

After seeing Li Chen, Chu Ruoyan was deeply shocked and stood there.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It turns out there is such a thing as a heavenly beauty!

Among Chu Ruoyan’s previous suitors, the one with the highest cultivation level was Liu Hao, the one with the best looks was Wu Qi, and Xiao Ming could only be described as having a handsome appearance but strong strength.

In the entire imperial capital, the fact that Chu Ruoyan has these three as her suitors is enough to show how beautiful she is.

But today, she finally realized what a truly divine face is!
Judging from the aura emanating from Li Chen, he is probably not even a hair stronger than Liu Hao.

In front of Li Chen, Wu Qi's appearance is no more than a brick on the ground.

As for Xiao Ming, he can only be described as the most loyal bootlicker.

Chu Ruoyan stared at Li Chen blankly, and for a moment she was at a loss.

She didn't think that Li Chen was deliberately ignoring him, because Li Chen was the emperor. The emperor had to deal with state affairs every day and shouldered heavy responsibilities. How could he delay state affairs because of such a small matter as meeting her?

He flipped through the memorials quickly and accurately, as if every word could not escape his discerning eyes.

His fingers are long and strong, and the way he holds the pen is extremely elegant, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

It cannot be said that Chu Ruoyan had much affection for Li Chen after seeing this scene, but at least she was not as repulsive as she was at the beginning.

The face that looked "desperate of life" when she first entered the palace is now full of curiosity towards Li Chen.

Chu Ruoyan stood in the imperial study for half an hour. It was not because Li Chen was done with his work, but because another person came to the door.

When Chu Ruoyan saw this person, her eyes widened in surprise.

She had met this man before, at a dinner party hosted by a great noble in the imperial capital.

At that time, she only saw him from a distance because the person was sitting in the innermost seat.

With the status and position of the Chu family, a second-rate family at the time, they could only sit in the middle seats near the outside and had no chance of contacting bigwigs of this level.

Chu Ruoyan still remembered that she could feel the unparalleled dominance of this man from a distance.

This person was none other than Guo Poyun, the brave general who had made great contributions to the Tiance Dynasty and the great general who protected the country.

A folk legend, a god of war-like existence.

At that time, Chu Ruoyan felt that if she could become the general of the nation, then the Chu family would surely prosper under her leadership.

But that was just a fantasy. Among the billions of people in the Tiance Dynasty, there was only Guo Poyun.

This probability may be even lower than her reaching the Saint realm.

But such a great general who was admired by everyone and protected the country was now kneeling in front of Li Chen like an ordinary old man.

The strong contrast made Chu Ruoyan feel dizzy and she wondered if she was dreaming.

No, I forgot to kneel when I came in just now. Do you want to kneel down now?
Hiss, it doesn't seem right. As soon as I came in, His Majesty told me to find a place to sit down. Would it be considered as disobeying the order if I stand here?

Just as Chu Ruoyan was lost in thought, Li Chen closed the three-fold memorial in his hand.

Then he placed it on the table and stared at the general in front of him.

In an instant, an aura of majesty began to spread.
