The Mushroom Emperor & His Empress General

Chapter 6

"The chosen Empress is.... ZHEN SHI!"

The whole crowd were shocked into silence.

Who is Zhen Shi? Is this person one of the beauties? Why did they not hear this name during the introduction of the beauties?

The whole crowd went chaotic.

Zhen Shi who was standing at the back did not get what happened or get a grasp of what was going on.

Why was his name called?

He looked up as everyone on the pavilion stage gradually turned their eyes to him.

He stood as if his feet were cemented to the floor.

He was in some sort of trance; the chief magistrate must have made a mistake.

The chief magistrate repeated his name again but no one was coming forward.

The beauties who were still in shock looked among themselves in confusion and still couldn't find the owner of the name been called.

The personal guard remain stilled and confused, he was sure the magistrate must have made a mistake and slowly looked down due to the eyes that were looking at him, he started shivering, cold strings of sweats poured down his spine and decided to pretend like he wasn't the one been called.

The newly crowned Emperor Peng Qi became very impatient and decided to call him by himself.

"Zhen Shi! Quickly come over here. "

Zhen Shi's brain finally got some signal, he pointed a finger to himself.

"Me?"

"Did you not hear your name correctly? How many Zhen Shis are here on the pavilion stage with me?"

The assistant general used his inner force to move his heavily numb legs toward the Emperor, it was like walking to his own execution, everyone was staring at him like he just dropped from another planet.

The crowd started to murmur crazily.

Empress Dowager was still in was shock, she couldn't believe her ears, she leaned sideways with a bitter face and whispered to her son.

'' Peng Qi, what sort of madness is this? Quickly change the name now, say you made a mistake"

The new Emperor also leaned sideways and whispered to his mother.

"I did not make any mistake, he is my choice, he has always been"

"Hmmm, fine, you can have him as one of your consorts but definitely not the Empress"

"He is the chosen one and will be my Empress"

"But he cannot bear children, now quickly tell the magistrate to announce Xue Ling, didn't we agree beforehand to choose Xue Ling?

"No, we didn't agree, that was your choice not mine"

"Don't dare me Peng Qi, declare the daughter of the minister of rites lady Xue Ling as the Empress now"

"Mother don't speak to me like that, I am now the Emperor, the ruler of all under all heavens and earth all thanks to you. I am not a fool, don't think I don't know why you abdicated the throne to me, I know you want a puppet on the throne so that you can keep hold of this nation and I promise to obey and do any other thing you want without questioning it but my decision to make Zhen Shi my empress is final, do not intervene on this matter"

The Empress dowager had no option but to clench her teeth and try to save face to cover her shame.

'This is only a small matter as long as he has agreed to my puppet and will do anything I want, I am willing to let this slide for now. ' She said to herself.
