Empress Xiao Zihan kindly treats the palace maids, while also introducing advanced technology into the palace. Meanwhile, Emperor Lin Yi issues an imperial decree announcing his marriage to the Empress, devastating Leng Yu. Officials begin investigating the Empress's identity, unaware it is Xiao Zihan. Xiao Zihan presents Lin Yi with a plan to industrialize their kingdom within three years.

As Lin Yi spoke this sentence, Xiao Zihan was instantly stunned.

What? Did she hear wrong? Lin Yi actually wanted her to accompany him to the Imperial Court tomorrow?

Wasn’t it said that in ancient society, women were not allowed to participate in politics and could not go to the front?

And Lin Yi seemed to have noticed Xiao Zihan’s confusion, so he smiled and pinched her cheek directly.

"What are you thinking? Are you thinking about how women can’t participate in politics?

Don’t forget, this is your man’s territory, and here, your man’s words are the imperial decree. Anything I say goes.

Moreover, we both came from the 21st century, there’s no way we’d have chauvinistic thoughts."

These words naturally brought a happy smile to Xiao Zihan’s face.

At the same time, as someone from the 21st century, she naturally did not have patriarchal thoughts!

She was just afraid of affecting Lin Yi’s matters.

If it didn’t affect anything, she would of course be willing to become Lin Yi’s right-hand woman.

The next morning came early, it was time for the morning audience.

Seeing Lin Yi wearing the imperial robe, Xiao Zihan’s eyes were filled with countless little stars.

Her man was truly handsome.

Additionally, after putting on that dragon robe, there was an unmistakable aura of imposing majesty.

And this dragon robe was not the usual attire Lin Yi wore, it was specifically worn for imperial meetings.

Not only him, but at this moment, Xiao Zihan also donned a very lavish phoenix robe.

This phoenix robe was also specially prepared for attending the Imperial Court.

Both of them went to the court, and as for where Xiaoluo Ning went?

Of course, she was accompanied by a designated palace maid to play.

Upon arriving here, there was naturally no need to worry about child care.

Though they usually personally took care of Xiaoluo Ning, when they’re busy, they’d leave it to the palace maids.

And the attentiveness the palace maids showed towards Xiaoluo Ning was simply beyond description, fearing even the slightest harm could come to her.

It’s no exaggeration to say, even if they were harmed themselves, they would absolutely not let Xiaoluo Ning suffer even a single scratch.

And it has to be said, this little girl was really adorable, as all the palace maids vied to look after her.

Of course, there’s no need to go into detail about this, but as Lin Yi arrived at the Imperial Court, the subjects below quickly knelt down, shouting long live the Emperor.

Lin Yi did not undo this gesture, after all, this was an ancient society, changing too much quickly, preaching equality, would obviously be unrealistic.

These matters must be changed gradually, not abruptly.

If it were really done that way, what would be the outcome?

One would only be looked down upon by them, and by then, one’s authority might be greatly diminished.

After the courtiers finished greeting him, Lin Yi approached the dragon throne.

Not only that, knowing Xiao Zihan would be attending the court today, Lin Yi specifically instructed the eunuch to place an equally lavish chair beside the dragon throne yesterday.

Though the chair was not heavily ornate, its splendor was beyond description.

Once the two found their places, they sat down, and Lin Yi signaled the courtiers to rise.

Thanking Lin Yi once more, the courtiers then got up.

However, as they cast their gaze towards Lin Yi, they were instantly surprised.

Each and every one was utterly stunned.

Because what did they see? They actually saw a woman sitting beside the Emperor.

And judging by the woman’s attire, it was unmistakably the legendary Empress.

After all, in this Imperial Palace, who else would dare to wear such a phoenix robe but her.

However, this was unprecedented.

Having served as an official for so many years, it was indeed the first time seeing a woman at the Imperial Court.

Notably, even the foolish and incompetent Chen Shiren would never allow women in during court sessions.

Neither palace maids nor anyone from the harems was allowed at the Imperial Court, the only ones present were eunuchs.

In this moment, they were all completely stunned.

They simply could not understand why Lin Yi would do this, why at all?

Of course, though they were very confused and astonished internally, and had the mind to advise, they did not dare.

Given Lin Yi’s authority here, anything Lin Yi decided, who would dare utter opposition?

The entire court, it could be said, followed Lin Yi’s commands strictly.

It is no exaggeration to state, if Lin Yi said it was black, they wouldn’t dare call it white.

Even if it was clearly broad daylight, it would still be the same.

All at once, although astonished, everyone quietly observed, without anyone voicing any excess opinions.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed his authority was indeed profound, as although the people wanted to speak, they understood and dared not say anything.
