Chapter 1073: His Majesty (1)

At the Jiang family’s house, one street away.

Originally, the front door of the manor was extremely empty, but with the Emperor and Empress Dowager’s ceremonial landing.

The street had long been cleared.

Many of the lords knew that the Emperor had left the palace and hurriedly chased after the Jiang family to pay their respects.

Lu Huaijiang seemed to be in a rare good mood. He didn’t reprimand them and instead invited many officials to enter.

The officials who came to pay their respects were overwhelmed by the favor. They had never seen the Emperor’s expression so good.

After learning that the young lady of the Jiang family was coming of age today, the Emperor and Empress Dowager came to attend the ceremony.

The officials immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“Early in the morning, I heard that Furen was going to attend the funeral ceremony. I’m afraid she’s already here. It’s alright, it’s alright …”

“That’s right. My family also left early to participate in the ceremony. I didn’t expect it to be the same place as Your Majesty.”

“But why don’t I see my own carriage outside?” The few adults gathered together and muttered.

“Everyone says that the young lady of the Jiang family has fallen out of favor, but it seems that’s not the case.” His Majesty was so happy. He had never been so happy when he ascended the throne.

“Anyway, we didn’t offend the Jiang family. I believe His Majesty won’t blame you for attending the funeral ceremony at the Jiang family today.” The ministers nodded.

Fortunately, the madam in the backyard did a good job of diplomacy.

He would definitely reward them later.

The ministers followed the Emperor into the palace. Madam Xia and Jiang Huai ‘an knew that the Emperor had come personally.

He was so shocked that he hurriedly led people to pick him up.

However, the Emperor was very familiar with him and did not show any courtesy.

“Stand up. We’re all family. There’s no need to be so formal.” That sentence made people’s hearts skip a beat.

The ministers saw that His Majesty’s words and actions were a little …

Something was not right.

The Emperor went straight to the backyard as soon as he entered, as if he was extremely familiar with the Jiang family.

However, he had only come once.

Moreover, that attitude of the host stunned all the officials.

“Everyone, don’t be so polite. Just treat it like family.” Lu Huaijiang smiled faintly. He was in an exceptionally good mood today. His Lulu had grown up and become a big girl.

When the ministers saw the Emperor’s expression, they could not help but mutter,But that’s not your house?

Jiang Huaian’s lips twitched.

She felt that he was too familiar with her home, as if he had been here countless times.

How could he have known that when Lu Huaijiang’s soul left his body, he was even more familiar with the Jiang family than his own family?

He knew where there was a dog hole and where there was a bird.

“Eh, today…No customers?” The Jiang family welcomed the Emperor and Empress Dowager to their seats.

When the Emperor raised his head, he realized that there were very few people who had come to offer gifts.

Most of them were from the Xia family.

Sir Xia’s brows curved. Look, he didn’t need to do anything, and he was already in his eyes.

Madam Xia’s expression stiffened. Instead, it was Jiang Huaian who bowed and replied, “”Your Majesty, I have already sent invitations to the various prefectures. It was just that the various prefectures had important matters to attend to and were temporarily unable to attend. But that’s good too. It’s also a happy time for our family to gather together.” Jiang Huaian glanced at the Emperor.

As expected…

The young emperor’s face instantly fell.

The officials below were dumbfounded.

Seeing that the banquet was empty and that his wife was not around, his heart sank. He could not help but have an ominous premonition.

Hearing Jiang Huaian’s words…

His head was buzzing.

His legs were trembling.

No way?

Madam didn’t come to the Jiang family? Even the Jiang family didn’t come? They didn’t even send anyone to go through the motions?

What are those women doing!
