Chapter 946
This voice seemed to respond to Ye Xingguang, but the words showed complete disregard for the customs mentioned by Geshu Tang.
Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, nodding emphatically, and didn’t forget to introduce you to the nobles: “Great Elder Bai Qiuhe, Second Elder Ying Shikang, Third Elder Geshu Tang, Fourth Elder Quan Ji, Fifth Elder Gui Daocheng, Sixth Elder Yen Ziang.”
“Thank you, elders, for arranging the wedding for me and Xingguang.” With a generous gesture, he shook hands with each of them.
When shaking hands with Third Elder, Geshu Tang, Ye Junqing’s eyes were deep: “I especially thank the Third Elder, but I heard when I just came in, according to tradition, we shouldn’t meet before the wedding. This custom will change from this moment on, right? As the saying goes, ‘new king, new rules.’ Stubbornly clinging to old customs isn’t wise. Furthermore, from now on, all my bodyguards will enter the palace. It’s for my personal safety; after all, I’ve heard that the capital has become unsafe.”
Geshu Tang: “Mr. Ye, you’ve brought quite a few bodyguards with you this time.”
“No choice, the amount of people I bring isn’t enough to withstand a torpedo blast; I surely don’t want to lose my life here. I believe the elders can understand my cowardice, can’t you?”
In the tone of someone afraid to die, Ye Junqing nearly made Ye Xingguang die of laughter.
“It might be difficult to make room for so many bodyguards in the palace.”
That was clearly a refusal.
“That’s why I’d like to discuss with the elders, perhaps all the palace guards should be dismissed. After all, guests should be treated hospitably, and be provided a place to sleep. Can we move them outside the palace to guard the walls? You see, my people can’t breathe underwater, so they can only stay in the dry palace to protect me.”
Before any of the elders could speak, Ye Xingguang made the final decision: “Alright, that’s settled.”
Then, she added: “I’m going to arrange accommodation for the future queen. Elders, please excuse me.”
After that, she took Ye Junqing and left the queen’s office, not willing to give the elders a chance to lecture her.
Once she left, Fourth Elder Quan Ji snorted: “Her Majesty the Queen is simply too capricious! And this Ye Junqing, he doesn’t take us seriously at all. I suspect once Her Majesty ascends the throne, the provisional federal government won’t be taken seriously either.”
“Even if NineNine is capricious, the real power of the state is still in the hands of the provisional federal government. Fourth Elder, what are you worried about?”
Fourth Elder Quan Ji: “Easy for you to say. Let me make it clear; the empire should have reformed by now, shifting from an imperial system to a federal system! Once Her Majesty the Queen ascends the throne, it must be put on the agenda!”
After saying that, Fourth Elder Quan Ji left with a sweep of his sleeves!
Ye Xingguang hadn’t gone far, she had sharp ears and overheard Fourth Elder Quan Ji’s words.noveldrama
Hmph, if they want to switch to a federal system, let them. They talk as if she’s so greedy for the power of the underwater empire, but she just wants to be queen for a while and then return to Country A with her husband to live a carefree life.
Along the way, her mood was exceptionally bright, repeatedly asking Ye Junqing while holding onto his arm: “How did you get here?”
“Xiao Yun and Huo Liuli went to the docks to pick me up.”
“That’s Xiao Yun for you, always reliable. Come on, I’ll take you to my sleeping quarters.”
After checking the time, “Ah! Time’s up, I have to go cook for the kids. Did you bring the snacks and the toys for the little ones I asked for? I have to tell you, one of the kids is so much like you! I must introduce you!”
