Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

They quickly left the group and headed up to the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty."

Before Fan Jian could bow in greeting, Emperor Qing waved his hand to interrupt.

"No need for formalities. I never expected that when I summoned all the officials on a casual occasion, they would all be here."

Fan Jian smiled and said in a serious tone:

"The Emperor's divine might is overwhelming, how could anyone dare to disobey? But this old minister did not expect that even Prince Jing would come here."

Emperor Qing looked at the row of military officers and nobles, while Prince Jing below remained obediently in place and waved back.

Prince Jing hurriedly ran uphill in small steps.

"Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this shout, Emperor Qing frowned.

"What? It's been too long! It's been so long since we last met that you don't even know how to address your imperial brother anymore?"

Prince Jing showed no fear, but instead laughed:

"How could that be? But Your Majesty, why have you made such a big fuss? Are you trying to reform the court?"

"My brother, you never get involved in court affairs. Rather than stay here, you'd be better off returning home to tend to my plants that need pruning."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing raised his hand and pointed at Prince Jing, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He was helpless regarding his younger brother.

He remained silent, instead continuing to watch among the civil and military officials below.

As that gaze fell upon them, all the civil and military officials who were being watched lowered their heads.

Even Li Chengqian and Li Chengze.

I couldn't help but think of Li Chengxian's usual disrespectful words: "Are all the talents in your Southern Qing court dead? Can't you find a single usable one? Useless!"

They really are all useless.

The political system that woman personally built has stagnated or regressed over the past few decades.

Although on the surface it appears prosperous and powerful.

but.

Emperor Qing knew that it was probably already rotten to the core.

It's already quite good if there are no major upheavals for several decades.

Unfortunately, time always decays everything.

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

Fan Jian, who was often summoned in private, couldn't help but speak up upon seeing Emperor Qing's appearance:

"Your Majesty need not worry too much. The Southern Qing realm is currently at peace, and the vassal states are stable. Your Majesty has already done a very good job."

If an ordinary person dared to openly guess the emperor's thoughts, they'd probably be buried with weeds three feet tall by now.

However, Fan Jian's significance and relationship with Emperor Qing were different.

"You tell me, if I were to launch a northern expedition now, could the entire Southern Qing court still be united as it was decades ago?"

"To ensure the peace and stability of the nation, they spare no effort and risk their lives."

Fan Jian was taken aback.

I couldn't say that, and I didn't dare reply.

How could he not know what the current political situation in Nanqing was like?

Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing looked down and couldn't help but laugh coldly.

I saw many familiar faces, who, like many others, had aged and looked old.

I'm afraid of getting old.

They are also afraid of dying, and without realizing it, they start to think more about themselves, thus falling into a deep pit from which they cannot extricate themselves.

Da da da.

The sound of orderly footsteps suddenly came from the east, startling Emperor Qing from his reverie.

Please speak before speaking:

"coming!"

At the same time, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

All the civil and military officials looked in that direction.

however.

But the person had not arrived.

The sound arrived first.

"Wow, so many people! Instead of staying home, they've come to the palace to watch the excitement?"

That playful tone sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Whose family are you from?

Don't they consider the place and the occasion?

They dare to spout such arrogant words.

The junior censors standing behind Lai Mingcheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, wanted to start drinking.

But when he saw Lin Ruofu, the head of the civil officials, glaring at him coldly, he shrank back in fright.

Soon, the footsteps drew closer.

Just then, Li Chengze suddenly stepped out of the first row of military officers and hurriedly ran in that direction.

He paid no attention to the strange looks from others.

Because they did not hear Emperor Qing rebuke them.

Li Chengxian stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master inspecting the mountain, which made Eunuch Hou, who was following closely behind, break out in a cold sweat.

"Sir, can we be a little more discreet? The master summoned all the officials earlier, and it's understandable that you're not wearing court robes."

"Shouldn't we pay more attention to the etiquette of the royal family? I'm worried about how to explain things to the Ministry of Rites later."

Li Chengxian, however, did not care at all.

"If you can't explain it, then don't explain it. How can a mere subject threaten the royal family?"

How many heads does it have?

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou was speechless; this prince had always been domineering.

Li Chengze quickly approached, stood before Li Chengxian, and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Brother, I never expected that Li Chengze would dare to expose this."

I didn't even have time to stop it.

He started by complaining, which amused Li Chengxian. He truly lived up to his reputation as a cunning old man, the second prince of the Southern Qing royal family.

Li Chengxian waved his hand.

"Alright, all crows are black, you're no better than that."

However, this guy probably never expected that he would be tricked by the Empress.

Do you think the Empress feels that her son has suddenly become capable again after becoming the Crown Prince?

Li Chengze settled in Bengbu.

How should I respond to that?

He wouldn't dare to talk about the Empress, but he's alright in private.

"Tsk tsk, look at your pathetic self, go away and stay somewhere else."

"If anyone dares to bully my father-in-law, I'll skin them alive."

Li Chengze felt a tremor in his heart, and wanted to cry but had no tears. He exclaimed: How could I dare to be like you?

Upon seeing their prince arrive, Yuheng, who was guarding the southern perimeter, hurriedly bowed and made way.

Behind Li Chengxian, Tian Shu led more than fifty Greedy Wolf soldiers in single file, quickly separating the civil and military officials blocking their way.

These people weren't stupid; although they were cursing, they didn't dare block the way.

In an instant, a road leading straight up to the main hall of the Imperial Study was opened up.

Li Chengxian, with Eunuch Hou by her side, walked up to Emperor Qing without the slightest hesitation.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Fan Jian and Prince Jing, he looked around and then turned his gaze to the chair beneath Emperor Qing.

"You little brat, this chair's design is not something you can do, or my desk will be piled high with impeachment memorials tomorrow."

"Regulations are for people who follow the rules. Do you think I would need them?"

Could it be that the mighty Emperor of Southern Qing is so poor he can't even afford a chair?

As he spoke, he kicked Gong Dian, who was standing there blankly to the side.

"Like a door god, he has no sense of propriety and just goes inside to carry one out."

Gong Dian immediately bowed to Emperor Qing.

He dared not act rashly in this situation.

Who knew?

Emperor Qing laughed and said:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring another big chair over. I'm afraid he'll kick it if it's too small."

Fan Jian and Prince Jing couldn't help but gasp.

Such pampering?
