It was late at night. Yun Shang had a good sleep, but she was woken up before long.
When Yun Shang woke up, she was still in a daze. Looking at the different furnishings in the hall, it took her a long time to come to her senses. She sat up and looked at the sky outside. It was still dark outside.
Yun Shang squinted, "What time is it?"
"Three quarter past three." Seeing that Yun Shang was still sleepy, Qian Zhuo reminded her in a hurry, "Your majesty, you are going to the court today. You have to get up."
Yun Shang gradually became sober. She nodded and ordered in a low voice, "I'm still a little sleepy. Go and get me a basin of cold water to wake me up."
Qian Zhuo nodded and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
Yun Shang sat on the bed for a while and got up.
Qian Zhuo returned with the water, twisted a handkerchief and handed it to Yun Shang. The weather was getting colder, and the cold water was getting colder. When the cold handkerchief touched her face, Yun Shang shivered and freshened up.
After waiting for Yun Shang to wash her face and brush her teeth, Qian Zhuo walked quickly to a box aside, turned around and asked Yun Shang, "I've packed up some of your daily clothes, as well as your court clothes and two sets of formal clothes. Since you are going to the court today, you should wear the court clothes, right?"
"Well, I'll wear court clothes."
Qian Zhuo answered and took out the court clothes. Then she called Pei Lan and Hua'er to help Yun Shang put on the clothes and comb her hair into a bun.
As soon as the breakfast was finished, Wang Wanzhi, together with Liu Wenan, brought two eunuchs outside the door. "Your majesty, it's time for the morning court."
Yun Shang nodded, stood up, and let Qian Zhuo straighten her clothes before going to the Taiji Palace.
It was 5 a.m., all the civil and military officials were waiting in the Taiji Palace.
Liu Wenan turned to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang nodded, turned around, took the memorial from Qian Zhuo and handed it to Liu Wenan.
Liu Wenan lowered his head and took the memoria
us illness, is it? Why did his majesty suddenly issue this imperial edict? "
"It makes sense if he is just conferred the title of the crown prince. However, the crown prince was asked to take in charge of the state affairs. He is less than two years old now... "
As soon as he said this, many people echoed.
"Yes, Lord Li is right."
"How could such an important imperial edict issued without his majesty's presence. It's strange that only your majesty come to issue it."
"The imperial edict also allows the Empress to assist the crown prince in handling political affairs, which is really confusing."
"His majesty hasn't shown up for nearly three days. Is there anything wrong? Is the imperial edict made by your majesty? "
Their questions became more and more impolite.
"I want to see his majesty. Even if I have to accept the decree, I have to see his majesty with my own eyes before I accept it. Your majesty came to issue such an imperial edict alone. It is inevitable to doubt that your highness might have secretly harmed the emperor, and then made up such an imperial edict to control the court. "
"Even if his majesty is sick and can't deal with political affairs, there is still his former majesty. How can a little boy who can't even speak clearly have the right to be in charge of state affairs? How can a princess from another state assist to run our state? "
