Ever since Qiao was awoken by the assassination, all sorts of rumors and gossip arose in the harem. Furthermore, in these few days, the emperor had not ascended to the throne, and there were even rumors of a new dynasty coming from the harem.

"Ah, have you heard? "The night after the emperor woke up, the Regent stayed at the Palace." The palace maid said softly.

"Are you for real?" Your Majesty has survived a great calamity, yet your blessings are actually so heavy! " The palace maid asked with an envious expression.

Xiyue's tense face did not relax for a moment. She stared at the two young palace maids kneeling on the ground and coldly shouted, "Men! Bring these three palace maids to the Raccoon Department and reduce them to the lowest rank!"

"Aunty Xiyue, this servant truly knows that I was wrong. This servant doesn't dare to speak carelessly again. Aunty, please spare me." The three palace maids were so frightened that their eyes became round. They had gone from the seventh tier to the fifth from the last rank with great difficulty, but now, they were at the lowest. This meant that as long as they were a palace maid, they could easily bully them.

"You guys have nothing to hide from me, you actually dared to chew the tongue of the emperor. This aunt didn't order anyone to pull your tongue out; that's already giving you the greatest forgiveness!" Xiyue coldly waved her hand, then watched as the three of them moved further and further away from her.

"Sigh." Xiyue slowly turned around and walked toward the palace.

At this hour, the emperor was going to be in the morning court.

Within the palace, loud snoring sounds could be heard one after another from the inner palace. Qiao Qiao continued to lay down on his bed as if he had no regard for his image, his mouth continued to smash against the bed.

The maids waiting to wash the emperor in the inner hall didn't say a word, only covering their mouths and laughing as they looked at the emperor sleeping soundly on the bed. Although the one in front of them was a scarecrow emperor, none of them wanted to risk their lives and make fun of his appearance.

The palace maids in the inner palace looked at each other with a sneer in their eyes, but they had no idea what to do. If the emperor did not wake up, it would delay the morning assembly. The ones to be punished by the regent would not be him, but them.

"What's going on?" After entering the palace for the first time, Xiyue asked a row of palace maids who were whispering to each other in the inner palace.

"Aunty Xiyue, the Emperor hasn't woken up yet." When the palace maids saw Xiyue, they let out a long breath as if they were carrying a weight off their shoulders and restrained their contempt for the emperor. Within the palace, no one knew that Aunt Xiyue was the emperor's most popular person.

"Let me do it." Xiyue took the washbasin from the palace maids' hands and slowly walked to the side of the bed.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still sleeping like this, the corner of Xiyue's mouth slowly raised. She put down the washbowl in her hands and gently pulled at the corner of Qiao Qiao's bed. "Your majesty? The emperor should be going to court early. "

"Hmm? Eh? You're going to take another mission? " Joe still seemed to be in a dream as he asked in a slurred and muddled voice.

"It's time to head back to the imperial court." Xiyue listened as Qiao Qiao's mouth continued to blur as she continued to answer by herself.

"Senior, please accept the mission today, I'm so sleepy …" Qiao Qiao mumbled in a daze.

"Ah?" What senior brother? "Your majesty, it's the morning court." Xiyue said suspiciously.

"What Master?" Your majesty, your majesty, we're going to go to the morning court. If you don't get up soon, the ministers will have to wait for a long time. " Helplessly, Xiyue increased the number of decibels a bit.

"The previous dynasty? Minister? " Qiao Qiao sat up abruptly as if she thought of something. She rubbed her sleepy eyes. That's right, she forgot that she had already transmigrated. Today was the first time she showed up in front of everyone.

"AHH!" Qiao Qiao shouted out. She knew she was going to court, but she didn't know she was going to court so early in the morning. Wouldn't that mean that she wouldn't be able to sleep in her life?

"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty." Xiyue bowed slightly as she spoke.

Qiao Qiao pouted. Seeing that the sky was still dark outside the window, he could only bury his head in it. Then, he lifted up the blanket and walked towards the bed.

"Your majesty, you still need to wash up and put on a dragon robe." Xiyue reminded.

"Un …" Joe was still straining his voice, obviously unhappy.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still half closed as he allowed Xiyue to continue tossing and turning on his body and head.

Not long after, Xiyue smiled slightly and said to Qiao once more, "That's enough. Your Majesty, please go to the morning court."

"Right." Qiao Qiao still responded indifferently, not even willing to open his eyes to glance at the bronze mirror. He only felt that the pearl curtain jade wall in front of him started to vibrate, and without thinking much further, he walked towards the throne room in large strides.

Note: The palace maids and guards in the Great Qiao Dynasty's imperial harem are divided into different ranks, from the first rank down to the seventh rank down, the first rank down calls the aunt, the second rank down to the seventh rank calls the palace maid, but the status is different.
