Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1267 - 1145: The Officials Pretending to Be Drunk

At this moment, the young woman had all her attention fixed on the dishes in front of her, and she couldn’t care less about the conversations happening around her, nor what was occurring in the vicinity.

Her small hands continuously reached for the food in front of her.

Indeed, this person was none other than Young Princess Luo Ning.

Although today marked the grand wedding of her parents, she seemed somewhat out of place, but how could anyone resist bringing such an adorable little one?

If it weren’t for this girl being too young, Lin Yi would have insisted on bringing her up for a spin in the sky.

Nevertheless, this little one was particularly joyful today, dressed in bright red clothes, appearing extraordinarily charming while her rosy cheeks were adorably delightful.

At present, she was relentlessly grabbing and scratching at the food before her, swiftly stuffing pieces of meat into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out adorably.

This scene drew affection from those around her.

Of course, these details are not the focus; now, let’s speak solely of Leng Yu strolling through the Capital City.

When Lin Yi’s dispatched men approached her, Leng Yu realized their unusual nature.

Leng Yu knew that walking in this area would naturally attract attention, but she didn’t expect that the Emperor would send someone to find her so quickly.

Upon hearing the imperial summons, Leng Yu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to go, fearing the environment.

However, refusing seemed like defying imperial orders, considering it was a direct summons from the Emperor.

Especially at such a time, she couldn’t afford to lose decorum in any way, moreover, though Lin Yi had treated her well, Lin Yi had now married the Empress, and her own status likely wasn’t as high.

This was merely Leng Yu’s guess; after all, Lin Yi’s feelings towards her hadn’t changed, always treating her like a younger sister, allowing her to reach her current status in the Kingdom of Dayou.

Of course, that’s somewhat digressing.

Watching the young Eunuch bowing before her, Leng Yu considered rejecting but could only nod helplessly:

"Alright. Let’s return to the palace together."

Having said this, Leng Yu no longer acknowledged the messenger Eunuch, directly taking the horse offered by her attendants, effortlessly mounting it, and urging it towards the Imperial City.

Unlike the young Eunuch, upon seeing Leng Yu’s agile figure, he felt deeply ashamed, but understood there was nothing he could do.

After all, she was a General, though a woman, she grew up in the military camp, raised on horseback, thus compared to her, he—a castrated man—was insignificant.

The main task was completed—delivering the orders; there remained nothing for him to do.

Thus, he climbed into a nearby sedan, carried by several attendants towards the Imperial Palace.

Meanwhile, Leng Yu quickly arrived at the exterior of the palace.

Suddenly, as she was about to dismount to enter the city, the Guard on the wall saluted her and shouted:

"Lord Leng, the Emperor has decreed, you may ride into the city."

With these words, the city gate slowly opened, and a majestic avenue appeared before Leng Yu.

Staring at the profound avenue leading to the palace gate, Leng Yu froze instantly, for riding within the palace was never permitted for outsiders. Besides the Emperor, who enjoyed such honor?

For a moment, Leng Yu’s heart fluttered softly.

Luckily, she quickly regained her composure.

Meanwhile, she ignored the Guard before her.

She halted her motion to dismount, urging her horse swiftly into the palace.

Along the way, all the Palace Maids, Eunuchs, and ministers couldn’t help but sigh inwardly on seeing Leng Yu.

"Ah, to ride within the palace—a privilege I’ll likely never achieve in this lifetime."

"Haha, not just you, even though I’ve been a Prefect for a week, thinking of raising a horse in this palace is nothing but a delusion."

"I suggest you two speak quietly; our positions are just a drop in the ocean here. Returning to the Capital City, which official isn’t of a higher rank than ours?"

This fellow is quite right—in the Capital City, official positions are overwhelmingly numerous. Saying a brick could drop and hit several is hardly an exaggeration.

Unlike in the regions, where a provincial Prefect is somewhat of a big shot, comparable even to a future vice-provincial level.

However, despite commanding power in the regions, upon arriving here, they could only remain remarkably low-profile.
