Chapter 426 Give Her Equal Rights
Bai Ze said he would serve you well, and he really meant it.
He first carefully helped Xu Yuexi bathe and wiped her body carefully.
After bathing, Bai Ze carefully helped Xu Yuexi dry her hair, and his movements were extremely gentle, for fear of hurting her.
After everything was cleaned up, Xu Yuexi lay on the bed, and Bai Ze squatted beside the bed again, gently kneading her legs with his hands and massaging her.
Xu Yuexi enjoyed herself comfortably and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Xu Yuexi fall asleep, Bai Ze covered her with the quilt and left a kiss on her forehead before getting up to take a shower and change clothes. After tidying himself up, he went to bed, lay down beside Xu Yuexi, held her in his arms, and fell asleep holding her.
The next day, Xu Yuexi, who had a good sleep, slowly opened her eyes and saw Bai Ze's handsome face beside her. At this time, he had his eyes tightly closed, and was obviously still asleep.
Xu Yuexi just stared at Bai Ze's face quietly, completely attracted by this handsome face so close to her. As she looked at him, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Bai Ze's eyebrows, his high nose bridge, and his thin lips.
At this moment, Bai Ze slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were hazy and doting, "My wife, you woke up so early?"
Xu Yuexi blushed slightly. "Wife" is a nickname used by husbands to address their wives. Being called by Bai Ze, Xu Yuexi felt extremely happy, but she said angrily, "Who is your wife?"
Bai Ze grabbed Xu Yuexi's hand and placed it on his chest, and said seriously: "You are my wife, aren't you my wife?"
As the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside. Bai Ze frowned, a little unhappy.
"Yufei, why are you making so much noise outside?"
"Reporting to the Lord, it was the Second Lord who sent some clothes and jewelry. He said that he is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight and has invited all the civil and military officials to attend. I implore the princess and the Lord to dress up and attend."
Today, the entire imperial city was immersed in a solemn atmosphere, because today, Lou Moyu officially ascended the throne and became the supreme ruler of this country.
Lou Moyu had been busy since early morning, but he did not forget his promise to Xu Yuexi and brought her the clothes she should wear as the queen.
As early as when Xu Yuexi agreed to follow him back to Handan, Lou Moyu had secretly made up his mind to give her the best of everything. So, he had his people carefully prepare the gorgeous clothes that the queen would need to wear.
After countless craftsmen worked day and night, this set of queen's formal dress was finally delivered to Xu Yuexi today.
Bai Ze snorted coldly when he heard that.
Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows, "Why are you suddenly unhappy? Don't you want to go?"
Bai Ze looked at her, his eyes full of dependence, "No, this is an important moment for Er Cejun, how could I not go? I'm just a little unhappy. I just spent one night with my wife, and I have to separate from her again."
Xu Yuexi laughed, "Okay, I know our Aze is feeling wronged. It's still early for the dinner, let's get up and eat something first, then, I'll accompany you..."
As Xu Yuexi spoke, she whispered a few words into Bai Ze's ear, and a smile immediately appeared on Bai Ze's face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's get up and I'll help you get dressed."
Bai Ze helped Xu Yuexi dress, wash, and have breakfast. After breakfast, Bai Ze helped Xu Yuexi walk in the courtyard. After returning to the house, the two stayed together until an hour before the dinner when they got up to dress up.
Xu Yuexi put on a phoenix robe embroidered with gold and silver threads. The robe was a little tight, which made Xu Yuexi's bulging belly more obvious.
Half an hour before the dinner, Lou Moyu came to Bai Ze's yard in person to pick up Xu Yuexi.
When it was time for the dinner, the palace was brightly lit.
When Lou Moyu, Xu Yuexi, and Bai Ze arrived, all the civil and military officials in the palace had already taken their seats. Xu Fengyu and Xu Yuexi's other husbands had also arrived early.
Lou Moyu carefully helped Xu Yuexi walk slowly up to the dragon throne, while Bai Ze walked straight to his own seat.
Along the way, everyone's eyes were cast on Lou Moyu and Xu Yuexi, or to be more precise, on Xu Yuexi's bulging belly.
Xu Yuexi was very calm. She always maintained a composed attitude and walked towards the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power, with Lou Moyu.
However, when Lou Moyu was about to help Xu Yuexi sit down, a minister stood up to object.
The minister shouted, "Your Majesty, the Empress is a woman, and a princess of another country. How can she sit on our throne? This is against etiquette."
One has two.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although the Queen is your wife, you are the king. How can you let her be on an equal footing with you?" another minister objected.
At this time, another old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is unprecedented. Please think twice."
Lou Moyu's eyes shone, and he sneered: "Precedent? Everything I do is to set a precedent. Since I am the king, I should break the old and establish the new.
I have given the Queen the same power as me, so that she can stand shoulder to shoulder with me and govern this country together! I will work hand in hand with the Queen to discuss state affairs and work together for the well-being of the people of my Lieyan Kingdom.
I have made up my mind. If anyone obstructs this matter again, don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel."
Lou Moyu's words were sonorous and powerful, shocking the whole audience. Xu Yuexi looked at her, her eyes full of admiration and love.
In the end, no one dared to object, and Xu Yuexi sat safely on the dragon throne.
When the ministers saw how much Lou Moyu doted on Xu Yuexi and gave her so much power, and then looked at her slightly bulging belly, they immediately became interested.
For a moment, undercurrents were surging at the dinner party, and everyone had their own ulterior motives.
