Chapter 65

Liu Family Courtyard.

No one dared to look up at Emperor Xiao Yunzhou.

After a series of changes in expression, Xiao Yunzhou finally suppressed his surprise upon hearing the princess's voice.

After all, he was the emperor, and there was nothing he hadn't seen before.

In that moment, he regained his composure.

He personally crossed over Wei Zheng, moved a reclining chair in the courtyard, and then made tea for himself, pouring a cup. He didn't forget to pour for the Liu family as well.

"Please, have a seat, all of you. What are you all staring at me for?" Emperor Xiao Yunzhou chuckled.

He suppressed the tumult in his heart, but there was still a hint of resentment in his gaze towards Wei Zheng.

It was all because of the eunuchs who misled him!

They didn't even leave him the chance to get up in the morning and put on his own shoes!

His hands were only good for writing and shooting a bow!

Xiao Yunzhou looked at Wei Zheng, who had been with him since childhood, taking care of him.

Wei Zheng: "..."

He looked bewildered.

What had he done wrong? Everything was fine, so why did he upset the emperor again?

"Enough, Wei Zheng, sit down. Don't move unless necessary."

"?!" Wei Zheng was almost about to jump in place.

Master Liu, Madam Liu, Concubine Liu who was allowed to stay at home, and Fifth Prince Cheng Qian who was specially permitted to leave the palace today, all lowered their heads, looking at their own toes.

It was as if flowers were blooming on the ground.

*Cough.*

In the end, it was Old Madam Liu who nudged Master Liu's arm.

Master Liu finally woke up as if from a dream, "Your Majesty, you honor our humble home with your presence, we are truly overwhelmed by your favor!"

As soon as he spoke, Emperor Xiao Yunzhou noticed the situation in the courtyard.

Upon closer inspection, his eyes almost hurt.

This courtyard wasn't even half the size of his study where he usually handled memorials.

There was only one well, along with a grape arbor, and two chickens.

There wasn't enough space even for a reclining chair.

Surveying the surrounding rooms, the walls were mottled, the curtains worn out, and the passageways narrow.

There were only four rooms in total.

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath, did the Liu family usually live here?

Master Liu was truly incorruptible!

And Concubine Liu, as a consort, didn't even take care of the household!

This was what a true upright official and consort looked like!

Xiao Yunzhou was somewhat moved, immediately waving his hand at the Liu family, "Carry on with your tasks, pay no mind to Us."

Though he said that, when Master Liu continued to stir the pot, Xiao Yunzhou stood up and followed behind him.

Master Liu: "..."

"Your Majesty?"

"It's nothing, We're just observing."
