The side door next to the south gate of the palace opened.

This is the door through which ministers of civil and military affairs enter the palace.

Some people come in groups, and some people go alone.

The Great Court Meeting was held in the Hanyuan Hall of Daning Palace.

At this moment, the lanterns in Daning Palace have been lit up, and the huge square outside the palace is also a brightly lit scene.

The door of Hanyuan Palace had not yet been opened, so the ministers who had filed in gathered in twos and threes in the square outside the palace.

There were important ministers and senior officials surrounding Jitai. They seemed to want to say something to Jitai, but looking at Jitai's serious face, they did not say anything after all.

So the atmosphere became a little depressing.

But their eyes were not idle.

From time to time, they would glance at the side door, but before they knew it, no one was coming in. It seemed that all the officials who were supposed to attend the meeting had arrived.

Because the time is coming soon.

But one person is missing!

As the protagonist of today's meeting, Li Chenan has not been seen yet!

What about others?

Elsewhere, the anxiety in Li Wenhou's eyes became deeper and deeper as the time approached——

What the hell is this kid doing?

This is a big court meeting specially held for him!

How could he be so slack?

Many people were eager to see it, and many people showed a meaningful smile.

The time has come!

The vermilion door of Hanyuan Hall is opened!

Chang Zuoqing, the great eunuch in front of the imperial family, stood at the gate with a whisk in his hand, and shouted in his drake voice:

"The time is up...invite all officials to enter...!"

At this time, Jitai also glanced at the side door. He frowned slightly, turned around, and led a group of ministers towards Hanyuan Hall.

Chang Zuoqing was still standing by the gate.

He was waiting for Li Chenan here on the emperor's order.

There are more and more people in Hanyuan Hall, and naturally there are fewer and fewer people in the square outside.

When the last official stepped through the door, Chang Zuoqing's eyelids jumped sharply.

broken!

This guy doesn't know the rules!

How could I be so careless?

I haven't explained it clearly to him, but at this moment, he is probably still sleeping in bed!

Yunjibieye is far away from the palace. Even with a carriage, it will take at least an hour.

It was too late to go by myself.

And now even if I want to go, I can't go.

Because the emperor has arrived!

He walked in anxiously.

He helped the emperor ascend the dragon platform.

He bowed and stood behind the emperor, feeling increasingly uneasy.

The emperor seems to be in a very good mood today.

He lifted up his large dragon robe and did not sit on the dragon chair, but took two steps on it with a smile.

His eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, swept over, swept...to the very corner...

The smile on his face suddenly seemed frozen.

He frowned and turned his head, so frightened that Chang Zuoqing broke into a cold sweat.

Chang Zuoqing bowed and was about to speak, but unexpectedly the emperor waved his hand with another smile on his face.

"It's normal for young people to sleep more."

As he said this, he walked to the dragon chair and sat down, "Besides, the autumn weather is already cold, so it is certainly more comfortable in bed. When I was young, I also liked to stay in bed, and it was the same way."

"So gentlemen, please wait a little longer!"

After saying these words, the emperor withdrew his gaze, leaned back on his chair and began to fall asleep!

Of course, the officials did not dare to make an uproar, but everyone's heart was already boiling.

What does it mean?

There is no need to speculate on this meaning, let alone interpret it!

These are the words of the emperor's protector. Li Chenan is his and Queen Lu's son!

The son who can’t be kissed anymore!

Otherwise, how could the emperor let all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty stand here stupidly waiting for him, Li Chenan, alone!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have this qualification.

The second prince is even less qualified!

In this world, only Li Chenan has this qualification!

Because the emperor owed him so much, and because the emperor’s love for Queen Lu was unparalleled by the concubines in the harem!

So all the officials also bowed their heads.

But some people have burning anger deep in their eyes, such as the second prince Ning Zhixing.

There are also some people with a light of hope in their eyes, such as Qi Wenjun.

Li Wenhou was also on the ground at this moment, but in his eyes... there was a deep worry!

…

…

It's getting brighter.

It's just a cold dew, autumn is already strong, and the morning frost is very cold.

Although I had breakfast in the morning, a short time passed between the time I left home and now.

The door of the main hall was still open, and the autumn wind brought frost and cold. The ministers standing behind couldn't help but put their hands in their sleeves.

Prime Minister Ji, who was standing at the front, also felt uncomfortable.

He is old.

If you stand for a long time, your legs will feel numb.

Besides, I haven't stood like this for many years.

He suddenly felt that he should eat more this morning and put on an extra piece of clothes.

He really wanted to sit down at this time, and he really wanted to have a brazier beside him.

He even suddenly wanted to drink a bottle of wine.

He looked up at the emperor on the stage. The emperor seemed to be asleep.

He turned around, but there was still no sign of Li Chenan.

Damn it!

Where did he go?!

…

…

Li Chenan is actually very innocent.

He really didn't know that the imperial meeting would start so early!

He was woken up by Zhongli Ruoshui.

When I woke up, it was already slightly bright.

Zhou Shiba drove the carriage and drove him to the side door of the south gate, where there was already a young eunuch waiting almost crazy.

"Master Li..."
