Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 152: Summoning Foreign Delegations (Fourth Update Today)
Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Summoning Foreign Delegations (Fourth Update Today)
Watching the old man’s disdainful expression, Lin Yi was infuriated.
He really wanted to tell the old man that he had just shattered the table with a palm strike.
But when he turned his head and saw that the stone was intact, Lin Yi felt deflated like a punctured ball.
"Psh, I’m in a hurry to take up my duties today, we’ll discuss this later."
After saying this, Lin Yi walked out of the courtyard with his head covered in dust.
The old man behind him, upon seeing this, burst into laughter.
However, just as the old man was laughing, at the moment when Lin Yi stepped out of the courtyard, suddenly, the stone Lin Yi had slapped emitted a faint sound.
Of course, Lin Yi, who had already left the courtyard, had no idea about this, but the old man’s face suddenly changed.
He immediately threw down the fishing rod in his hand, stood up, and hurried towards that stone.
Suddenly, a fine crack had appeared on the originally intact stone.
This time, the old man’s eyes widened in disbelief:
"Is, is, is this! Could this palm strike have exerted the power of the fifth level of the Vajra Palm???"
Not to mention the old man, let’s talk about Lin Yi, who directly went to the Imperial Study Room.
And seeing him arrive, the little Emperor’s expression was quite unpleasant:
"What hour is it now?"
Hearing the little Emperor’s question, Lin Yi also guiltily lowered his head.
Because of the matter concerning the Vajra Palm today, he had forgotten the hour,
which resulted in him being nearly half an hour late for his duty.
And this half an hour was exactly the time for the little Emperor’s meal.
Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, even before he could speak, the little Emperor huffed:
"Hmph, there’s food left for you in the side hall, go and finish your dinner before you come here."
Speaking the harshest words with the tenderest meaning, that was Lin Yi’s assessment of the little Emperor.
No choice, this was just how she was, who could complain when the other party was the Emperor.
Shouldn’t an Emperor display majestic authority, right?
After being busy all afternoon and having practiced Kung Fu for a long time, Lin Yi was indeed quite hungry.
Therefore, upon hearing the little Emperor’s words, he just grinned sheepishly and headed to the side hall to eat.
When he saw the table full of dishes, Lin Yi realized just how much the little Emperor cared about him.
His stomach was truly hungry, and for a moment, Lin Yi couldn’t care about anything else and began to eat voraciously.
However, just as he was enjoying his meal, suddenly he heard footsteps. Turning his head, he saw the little Emperor walking gracefully into the room.
This took him by surprise, and he immediately put down his chopsticks, turning to look at the little Emperor.
At that moment, the little Emperor had a stern face and waved her hand towards the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, signaling them to leave.
Then, she sat down alone across from Lin Yi, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating as well.
This made Lin Yi somewhat astonished:
"Your Majesty, haven’t you eaten yet?"
As he asked this, Lin Yi also began to wonder, could it be that the little Emperor was waiting to eat with him? That would be incredibly considerate.
Indeed, Lin Yi felt rather moved.
And just then, the little Emperor’s icy voice also rang out:
"Without you to test the poison first, how can I dare to eat?
What are you staring at? I want to eat that roast pigeon dish, hurry up and test it for poison first."
Lin Yi: "I curse your...!"
Hearing the unstoppable complaints in Lin Yi’s heart, the corners of the young Emperor’s mouth slightly uplifted, revealing a pleased smile.
Whether it was to make Lin Yi test the poison or for some other reason, only the young Emperor himself knew clearly.
The young Emperor, who didn’t have a large appetite, left after eating a few bites.
Only leaving Lin Yi there to continue eating with great discontent.
The next morning, as usual, Lin Yi was kicked out of bed by the young Emperor.
Rubbing his eyes groggily, he cursed the young Emperor in his heart before reluctantly getting up and calling someone to help the young Emperor wash up and dress.
Today, they were scheduled to meet with envoys from foreign countries; therefore, Lin Yi accompanied the young Emperor to the early morning court assembly.
After discussing some insignificant topics, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and bowed to the young Emperor:
"Your Majesty, I have a report.
The foreign delegations have been brought outside the hall and are waiting for Your Majesty’s summon."
Upon hearing this, the Civil and Military Officials all turned their gazes to the young Emperor.
They knew well that these foreign delegations spoke a babel of tongues unknown to anyone in the entire You Country, let alone the court.
It was unclear why the young Emperor would summon them today.
With no shared language, what was the purpose of this meeting?
Of course, they were not aware that Lin Yi had already translated the foreigners’ language.
Hearing this, the young Emperor nodded:
"Let them come in."
As his words fell, a small eunuch loudly announced:
"The foreign delegation is granted an audience."
In no time, a group of fair-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners walked into the grand hall, led by a small eunuch, looking around curiously with large strides.
Though they intentionally maintained their composure and put on an arrogant demeanor, their wandering eyes inadvertently betrayed their inner feelings.
As they walked, they murmured among themselves:
"Charles, look how vast and majestic this great hall is, it’s unimaginable.
It seems they are richer than we thought.
This time, we must take back more gold and treasures."
Hearing this, Charles obviously didn’t dare to speak loudly, but he also lowered his voice and agreed.
These foreigners were truly like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Ever since they entered the Imperial Palace, their eyes hadn’t ceased to privately observe everything around.
The towering palace, the luxurious stone carvings, all captivated their attention.
They even secretly calculated in their hearts that if they could ship these sculptures back to their country, they would surely fetch a good price.
Especially the lifelike dragon pillars, which made them marvel at such skilled craftsmen in the world who could carve stone so vividly.
Not only that, when they saw those guards in Armor and waist knives within the Imperial Palace, they were tremendously awed.
These guards were much more formidable than the soldiers in their own country.
