Chapter 55: Queen Mother Dong!
The next morning, after breakfast, Cui Lie put on a new set of clothes and tidied up his appearance.
I just brought Jia Xu to the Pokémon House.
That's not to say he wasn't anxious.
God knows how he spent last night.
This was mainly because the Imperial Household Minister Yuan Ji told him yesterday that he didn't need to go too early.
Immortal Lin would not open the door so early.
It would be worse if you go too early.
That's why he hesitated for a while.
However, even so, the Pokémon House was not open.
DB...
It seems that he doesn't have a thorough understanding of the concept of getting up early.
However, Cui Lie didn't care about this at all.
If Yuan Ji can wait, then naturally he can wait too.
Then, Cui Lie returned to the carriage he had taken when he came here and waited patiently.
Jia Xu, who was following nearby, glanced at the sign, curled his lips, and said nothing.
Half an hour passed.
Even someone as calm as Cui Lie couldn't help but become anxious.
He opened the car curtain and got out.
Circling back and forth at the door of the Pokémon House.
Is it already this time?
How come it's time to open the door?
Just when Cui Lie couldn't help but stick his butt out and lean on the window to look inside, he suddenly heard a loud shout and was startled.
"Who's sneaking around here?"
"Someone, take him down for me!"
Cui Lie turned his head and looked.
It turned out to be Dahonglu Zhou Zhong, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi, and Cao Song's son Cao Cao.
The three of them also brought a young child about eight or nine years old.
The shout just now must have been from that kid from the Cao family.
"Tingwei?"
"Why are you here?"
"..."
When Cao Cao saw that it was the Chief Justice Cui Lie, he was also startled and hurriedly greeted him.
"I was just blind, please forgive me, the court official!"
Cui Lie also quickly walked up to the few people and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I was the one who was abrupt."
"How many of you are...?"
At first glance, I knew that the purpose of these people coming here must be the same as mine.
"Haha, of course you are here to look for fairy beasts!"
Dahonglu Zhouzhong said with a smile.
They smiled at each other and started chatting with each other.
"I have been waiting here for a long time, but the man has not opened the door yet."
Cui Lie said with a bitter look on his face.
"..."
Zhou Zhong, Zhou Yi and others came here for the first time. They didn't know what to say when faced with this scene, so they all turned their eyes to Cao Cao who was leading them.
Cao Cao frowned and thought to himself.
It shouldn't be!
Zi Ji doesn't usually get up early.
But it usually opens early at this time!
What happened today?
Is there anything wrong?
"I'll go check it out!"
Cao Cao said something to a few people, then walked forward and knocked gently on the door a few times.
Not long after, the door creaked open and a maid walked out.
It happened that the woman was given to Lin Yu by Cao Cao two days ago.
"Hey, why is my dear here?"
The woman recognized Cao Cao at a glance and asked curiously.
"I'm here to look for Ziji. Is he in the house?"
When Cao Cao saw the visitor, he was delighted and asked quickly.
"The master is not in the house. His Majesty took him to the palace early in the morning."
The woman said to Cao Cao.
"What?"
"Taken away by His Majesty?"
"Uh, okay, I understand. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
The woman bowed to Cao Cao, closed the door, and went about her business.
"His Majesty has approached the palace."
Cao Cao looked back at the few people, sighed and said.
"In that case, let's come back tomorrow!"
Zhou Zhong spoke first.
The person is not here. He has been taken away by His Majesty.
What else can I do besides waiting?
Go to the palace to rob people?
"That's all that matters!"
Cui Lie, who looked frustrated, also said dejectedly.
The palace!
The Queen Mother's bedroom!
Empress Dowager Dong, Emperor Liu Hong, and even Empress He, who had always been at odds with Empress Dowager Dong, could not be driven away because of his presence.
All the eunuchs who served him on weekdays were driven out at this time.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Song Dian... these ten eunuchs were there to assist in the service.
The one who could have such a grand appearance at this time was naturally Lin Yu.
Early this morning, Lin Yu was brought to the palace by Zhang Rang and He Zhao Zhong, who said that His Majesty wanted to see him.
Just when he regretted taking such a hard job, Lin Yu was taken directly to the palace.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He saw the pokémon of Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and they clamored to get them.
However, considering that she was a concubine, it was not easy for her to leave the palace, so she simply brought Lin Yu in and familiarized herself with the palace at the same time.
Ugh!
After understanding the whole story, Lin Yu really wanted to spray Liu Hong to death with a mouthful of salt soda.
Did I have to go through this journey just to draw Pokémon for this discordant mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Fortunately, I was smart and brought the illustrated guide with me before coming here.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be another trip?
Seeing Lin Yu's surprised expression, Liu Hong, who was caught in the middle, could only smile apologetically!
Lin Yu was too lazy to look at Liu Hong's photo and casually glanced at Queen He.
hey-hey!
Is this the famous Queen He in history?
I have to say, Liu Hong is really lucky, this is indeed a beauty!
No wonder Boss Cao in history was so keen on married women?
Not without reason.
Ahem, but I don't like this.
".々 Immortal, can we start extracting the pokémon?"
Queen Mother Dong looked at Lin Yu who seemed to be distracted and asked gently.
"Oh, uh, that's fine."
"Just press that button up there."
Lin Yu handed the atlas to Queen Mother Dong and said.
"Okay, I got it!"
Empress Dowager Dong pressed a button on the pokédex, a black shadow flashed, and then the picture became clear.
Liu Hong, Empress He, and a group of eunuchs all surrounded him.
The whole body is covered with light yellow hair, and the ends of the limbs are brown.
Has a pink nose similar to that of a pig.
He also opened a pair of triangular eyes.
Both its hands and feet have three fingers, and it has a long, flexible tail behind it.
"Master, could you please take a look at what kind of pokémon this is?"
Empress Dowager Dong said as she looked at the picture in the atlas.
(Mankey?) Lin Yu walked up and glanced at the picture.
"This is Mankey!"
"It's a fighting-type Pokémon. It has a relentless attitude and is quite powerful."
"I just have a bad temper!"
Lin Yu said truthfully.
Bad temper?
What a disadvantage that is!
They are all pokémon, isn't it normal for them to have a bit of temper?
Empress Dowager Dong didn't care about this at all.
She had just made it clear that pokémon would not attack their masters, uh, trainers.
In that case, why do you need such a good temper?
If anyone is so blind as to provoke it, he deserves to be beaten.
"I want this one!"
When she thought of this, Empress Dowager Dong glanced at Empress He and said affirmatively.
"In that case, please, Queen Mother, prepare a private room for me!"
"So I can get the Pokémon out!"
What else?
Can I call up the system in front of them?
