The Marquis Is Innocent - 167.2

Chapter 167.2

Wei Shao himself was unconcerned, treating his words like winds. At most, when he was finally annoyed, he would drive him away. But then, Xiao Qiao will be in trouble. Maybe people would misunderstand and think it was the Empress’s intention. Furthermore, there was also his grandmother. If she asked him, it would be hard for him to explain.

“Why don’t …… after Grandmother returns, I will say it’s me who wanted to appreciate the Cliffs! That’s why I ordered someone to bring it here!”

Xiao Qiao shook her head, “Your Majesty if you say it yourself, will Grandmother believe it? She must know that you did it for me and won’t blame me verbally, but in her heart, she will surely think that Man Man should know better. How dare she let the Emperor do something like this and didn’t persuade him ……”

It must be that the weather is too hot and the sun overhead is too bright. After standing like this for a while, Wei Shao felt his back start to warm up.

“What do we do then?” Wei Shao looked at the Cliffs, “I already brought it all here. Should I send it back?” His tone was full of depression.

After becoming the Emperor, there are still a lot of constraints in his life!

Foolish ruler— Wei Shao suddenly envied those who could do as they wished in the previous dynasties. He also wanted to be a foolish ruler who favored his Empress, but why was it so difficult?

Xiao Qiao shook her head, “Such a large cliff, long-distance transportation is inconvenient. It wasn’t easy to bring it down the mountain and even more difficult to send it up. Even if we could send it up, I’m afraid we couldn’t restore the original appearance ……”

She laughed: “How about this? Your Majesty, please send it to Daming Temple. To let the world could continue viewing the treasure, and ……,” She pointed to the cliff erosion on the surface, “It placed the mountains for hundreds of years, and the carvings have already weathered. It has been transported to Luoyang and housed, so it counted as protecting the treasures of the previous generations. The Imperial Palace is not far from the Daming Temple. If I want to see it, I can see it anytime. What does Your Majesty think?”

Wei Shao let out a long breath, staring at Xiao Qiao, suddenly held her tightly, fiercely kissed her, pressed his lips to her ear, and softly said: “How much I loved you never enough ……”

……

Mr. Jia strenuously out on a trip for two months and finally chipped half of the mountain and sent the big stone into the palace. He has not yet taken a breath, and that day he received an order to move the things to the Daming Temple. He was puzzled. However, the order came from the highest boss, so how dare you question? He hurriedly brought people to take the stone and put it back into the box, sending it overnight to the Daming Temple.

……

The next day’s early morning, the sky was not yet bright, but the Emperor’s already ascent the morning court. His seat was not yet warm, and the Imperial Historian, Wei Quan, could not wait to come out of the line, holding a water board, kneeling and saluting, then began to preach to the Emperor. Last night, he learned that Your Majesty sent someone to chip the Cliffs and deliver it to the Imperial Palace. He said, ‘This is very wrong behavior. Although everything belongs to you, it doesn’t mean the Emperor can place things you fancy into the Imperial Palace.’  Wei Quan finished in one breath, and his mouth became dry.

The Emperor coldly cast a pair of dragon eyes at him, proudly raised his face, and responded, ‘I did do this, but not as you say, robbing things! I am heartbroken because local people do not know how to protect the treasure. The Cliffs were weathered. I brought the Cliff to Luoyang and sent it to the Daming Temple last night for protection. It is properly protected, and we can show it to the world after reparation. You do not know the details and listen to rumors. You defamed the Emperor’s integrity! What is your intention?’

Wei Quan was dumbfounded, panicked, and threw himself on the ground, asking for forgiveness. Gongsun Yang and others also pleaded for him. The Emperor naturally accepted it and graciously said that there was no harm in it, saying that this was the duty of Mr. Wei and that he wouldn’t blame Mr. Wei even if he had wronged him.

So, in the end, a song of praises sounded in the morning court.

After the Emperor returned from the court, his mood was ecstatic. He didn’t go to the imperial study but straight to the bed chamber to find the Empress, intending to do an intimate session in broad daylight.

The world says being an Emperor was the best, managing the three palaces and six courtyards. But Wei Shao didn’t want them at all. Since becoming the Emperor, he became tired as a donkey. He must attend the court every morning and return to the bed chamber only in the middle of the night, simply more tired than leading a war.

He only got a few hours to relax and enjoy private time with Xiao Qiao. After shaving off the ‘normal’ sleep and the time that the little princess steals from Xiao Qiao, he can only hold the beautiful Empress to sleep that kind of ‘sleep’ time. And, the time he could do that kind of ‘sleep’ with her was never enough.

If he didn’t seize the chance, when Empress Dowager returns to the palace with Fei Fei in two days, he couldn’t be able to act conveniently.
