Chapter 879: Elder's Politeness

Chapter 178: Imperial Decree Forbids MarriageChapter 879: The Elder Statesman's Courtesy

Zhaoxuanji's words and actions took everyone by surprise.

However, the guards outside Phoenix Fragrance Palace were also getting a bit numb.

It's not like we can actually draw our swords and chop Zhao Xuanji up, right

Not only can it not be chopped, but it cannot even be harmed.

There is no other reason, Zhao Xuanji's identity is too special.

Just as the guards were at a loss, a sinister laugh echoed over.

"Who dares to cause a disturbance within the imperial palace It seems it is our esteemed Elder Minister."

Hearing this sound, the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

The factory director is here.

They no longer have to make a choice.

Zhao Xuanji stopped his steps and looked at the smiling Sanbao who was striding towards him with a blank expression. He said calmly, "They all say that Lord Zhang is busy with everything every day, but since I've arrived for such a short time, Lord Zhang has already caught up. It seems Lord Zhang is still very free"

"The Three Treasures apparently couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words. He just smiled and said, 'Grand Tutor, you misunderstood. I was just running errands for His Highness, taking care of some small matters. It happened to be free, and I heard the noise as I passed by, so I came to take a look.'"

Nonsense.

Zhao Xuanji let out a cold snort in his heart, not taking San Bao's perfunctory explanation seriously at all.

This is obviously what those guards who didn't stop me reported when I first entered the palace.

But these kinds of things are just minor details. Neither Zhao Xuanji nor Sanbao would be petty about them.

For Zhao Xuanji, what mattered more was seeing Zhao Qinglan in Fengxi Palace.

"My good sir, it's been many days since I last saw Her Majesty the Empress. Indeed, I miss her dearly. I'm sure you, my good sir, can understand the feelings of a father longing for his daughter."

Zhaoxuanji originally thought that Sānbǎo was just rejecting him and there was no good reason.

After all, familial affection is human nature, something everyone can understand.

But Sanbao shook his head, looking very much like a bachelor, and said, "As everyone knows, I am a eunuch without roots, how can I possibly understand the feelings between a father and daughter It's rather unkind of the Grand Advisor to ask a eunuch like me such a question."

Everyone around, hearing this couldn't help but blush, they were stifling laughter.

Only Zhao Xuanji couldn't laugh.

His face was rigid, and he said in a deep voice: "This old man wants to enter the Fengxi Palace! Does one need to obtain the lord's imperial decree to do so"

Zhao Xuanji had even prepared himself to outright refuse the Three Treasures' offer, but he didn't expect that this time, the Three Treasures wouldn't play by the usual rules.

"Okay."

The Three Treasures replied very readily.

"Others who wish to see the Empress must obtain a decree from the East Palace, but not you, Grand Minister."

Saying so, Sānbǎo personally stepped aside and bent over to point towards Fèngxǐgōng. "Please come into Fèngxǐgōng, Lord Minister," he said.

Now, Zhao Xuanji was a little stunned.

Though it seemed like Sanzang was speaking, Zhao Xuanji knew very well that every action of Sanzang was instructed by Li Chen.

He couldn't understand why Li Chen let him into the Fengxi Palace so easily.

But now was not the time for him to ponder that.

He looked deeply at Sanzhao once and Zhao Xuanji said calmly, "Thank you, Master."

"You are too kind, Elder."

Sān Bǎo smiled and waved goodbye as Zhào Xuánjī entered the Fengxǐ Palace.

Once Zhao Xuanji's figure had disappeared, the smile on Sanbao's face faded.

"Factory, factory."

The previous guards, gritting their teeth, walked forward.

"To stop Zhao Xuanji, that's quite good."

Three Treasures's casual words made the guard overjoyed.

But before he could even be happy, Sabao said again: "But since Zhao Xuanji was trying to barge in, why didn't you stop him Are you afraid"gnored the calls from behind and pushed the door open and entered directly.The palace gates swung open, and rain and wind instantly poured in.Li Chen saw that the Taihe Hall was brilliantly lit.Inside...
