The guards were a little surprised to see him return. Naturally, they wouldn't stop him from entering the palace. They bowed and said, "Milord!"
Miao Yi nodded and strode in. The first thing he saw were two familiar sweepers, Jing Ji and Jing Luo. However, their empty sleeves had been filled up, as they had grown a pair of arms to sweep the floor with a broom.
Miao Yi suddenly remembered the promise he made all those years ago. He would return their arms after a thousand years. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.
He suddenly felt a little strange. If he were in his current state, those two would probably be dead by now.
Why was that? Miao Yi fell into deep thought. 'Huang Fujun?' He realized that he had changed a lot because of Y. A long time ago, he wouldn't have touched Huang Fujun no matter what. 'Y.'
He walked up to Jing Zhi and Jing Luo and stopped sweeping. They seemed a little surprised by Miao Yi's sudden appearance. Normally, they didn't have the right to know where Miao Yi was. However, they realized that they hadn't seen him for a long time. They bowed and said, "Milord!"
"Your arms?" Miao Yi was a little confused.
The two understood what he meant. Jing Zhi replied respectfully, "Madam helped us recover them. She said that since Milord had promised, she would fulfill her promise."
Miao Yi asked, "Do you still want to kill me?"
The two exchanged glances. Jing Ying said, "We have already told Madam that we are willing to sweep for Milord for the rest of our lives!"
Miao Yi nodded. He turned his gaze towards the conference hall. He could vaguely hear voices coming from inside. He asked, "What's going on inside the conference hall?"
"It's the handover of the annual tribute. Madam is gathering the Hall Masters for a meeting." Jing Zhi replied, then said, "I will go and inform Madam that Milord has returned."
Only then did Miao Yi realize that he had returned at the wrong time. He actually made it in time for the handover of the annual tribute. He raised his hand to stop her. "No need!"
He left after saying so. He quietly went outside the conference hall and listened for a while. Yun Zhiqiu's calm and pleasant voice came from inside. The situation inside was very orderly. He didn't need to worry about anything. His wife was a good steward. He turned around and quietly left.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiqiu, who was sitting on the throne, glanced outside the hall. It seemed to have sensed something.
When he went straight back to the harem, he took a book and sat down in the wisteria corridor. The Confucian scholar who was guarding the entrance of the harem was stunned when he saw him. He then happily stood up and walked over, cupping his hands in salute. "Milord, you've returned!"
Miao Yi was instantly amused. He placed his hands behind his back. "Shopkeeper, when did you become so polite to me?"
The Confucian scholar chuckled and said, "Madam has said that this is no longer an inn. The billions of believers and a hundred thousand cultivators here all respect Milord, so rules must be established. Being too casual will damage Milord's dignity. Madam warned us that if we dared to treat you casually again, she would break our arms and legs. We had no choice but to obey! "
That's great! Otherwise, Chef and the others would always pull on one of her arms whenever they saw her! Miao Yi's lips curled into a smile, but he felt a little annoyed inside. Yun Zhiqiu only restrained others, but she herself didn't seem to be that polite to him!
"Madam is in the main hall discussing matters. I'll go inform her."
Just as the Confucian scholar was about to leave, Miao Yi waved his hand to stop him. He gestured for the Confucian scholar to walk with him, but he didn't recognize the palace maids at all. The palace maids only knew to bow to the Confucian scholar, but they didn't know who Miao Yi was. Seeing this, the Confucian scholar immediately introduced him to the palace maids. When they found out that this was the legendary Palace Lord, the palace maids were immediately frightened into kneeling.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and said, "Why are they all so timid?"
The Confucian scholar dismissed the palace maids. He said, "It's all Madam's doing. Madam has been helping Milord build up his prestige at every opportunity. From the moment every palace maid enters the palace, she instills in them the idea that Milord is the ruler of this place!"
Miao Yi nodded slightly. He sighed and said, "It's been so many years. Who knows how many batches of palace maids have been replaced by now."
The Confucian scholar followed beside him and smiled. "Madam said that Milord's previous rules were not bad. She also felt that there was no need to let these palace maids become old and uninterested before letting them out. According to Milord's old rules, they would be released after serving here for a few years. Because of this, Madam even praised Milord, saying that Niu Er was a little beyond her imagination. He had so many beauties by his side, but he had never touched a single one of them. Madam was very satisfied with this. She even praised him endlessly. "
"Ahem!" Miao Yi rubbed his nose. These compliments made him feel a little guilty.
The Confucian scholar added, "However, there are still some changes to the palace maids in the Inner Palace. Madam felt that it was still necessary to cultivate more confidants. Some of the weaker women wouldn't be able to do much. Thus, she carefully selected a hundred palace maids with superior aptitude and beauty to train and cultivate. Now, all the palace maids in the Inner Palace have a Blue Lotus cultivation."
Miao Yi nodded. He had never cared about this matter. If she wanted to, then let her. He wasn't that meticulous. He asked, "Has anything happened all these years?"
"How could it be?" The Confucian scholar sighed and explained in detail.
First, there was the matter of Traversing Moon Palace. Huo Lingxiao had angered Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan. During the handover of the annual tribute at Jade Capital Peak, Huo Lingxiao had used the excuse of being drunk to hug Wu Menglan in public. He had even said some nonsense. As a result, Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan had joined forces to attack him. Huo Lingxiao died in battle, and Wu Menglan had personally chopped off his head.
When Yun Zhiqiu received the news, she immediately rushed over and publicly reprimanded Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan. She even injured the husband and wife.
This incident alarmed the Traversing Moon Palace Lord, Zhang Tianxiao. Zhang Tianxiao and Yun Zhiqiu began to fight. Even with the combined forces of the Purple Lotus experts of Traversing Moon Palace, they were no match for Yun Zhiqiu. Zhang Tianxiao was severely injured by Yun Zhiqiu, and two of the three Advisors were killed by her.
Miao Yi was shocked to hear this. "Is Madam alright?"
"She's fine. Madam is completely unharmed."
"Madam injured Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan?"
The Confucian scholar replied, "Don't worry, Milord. This matter will not harm the relationship between both sides! Madam said that Huo Lingxiao and Miao Yi were sworn brothers after all. She wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye to the situation. That would make the entire world think that Miao Yi was heartless. After all, Miao Yi's sworn brothers were still watching over at the Sea of Constellations. Injuring Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan was just an act. Both of them were well aware of this. On the other hand, Zhang Tianxiao was the real deal. Madam personally went to Zhang Tianxiao's territory and injured her subordinates. Naturally, Zhang Tianxiao would demand an explanation. However, how could she possibly be a match for Madam? In the end, Jade Capital Peak came out and reprimanded Madam. Without the Realm Beyond Heaven's permission, they wouldn't dare do anything to Madam. They could only ask Madam to apologize, and that's how the matter ended. "
"It's good that Madam is fine. If something had happened, I would have taught Zhang Tianxiao a lesson! Damn it! That bitch is quite bold. How dare she touch my wife! "Miao Yi cursed. He was truly furious now. However, he quickly sighed and said, "Huo Lingxiao, oh, Huo Lingxiao … Sigh! It looks like this guy really likes Wu Menglan. Why did he have to do this? "
Next were Sikong Wuwei and Tao Qingli. It had been a long time since Granny Tao had passed away, and her relationship with the Realm Beyond Heaven had faded. After Miao Yi took over the Traversing Sun Palace, Traversing Wood Palace finally couldn't hold back and decided to take over the Water Palace. Sikong Wuwei came over to ask for help. Then, Yun Zhiqiu personally came to Cheng Aofang and warned her that if Cheng Aofang dared to attack the Traversing Water Palace, she would send her troops to attack the Traversing Wood Palace.
After that, the Four Constellation Masters of the Sea of Constellations would often come over to ask Madam about Miao Yi's whereabouts. Speaking of this, the scholar asked, "Milord, where have you been all these years?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that now is not the time to tell you. Madam will naturally tell you. "
After that, Yan Beihong was severely injured by Devil Sage Yun Aotian's subordinate, Eunuch Qiao. When Yun Zhiqiu found out about this, she immediately went to the Great Devil Realm to plead for mercy. If it weren't for Yan Beihong and Miao Yi's friendship, and the fact that Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu were husband and wife, Yan Beihong wouldn't have been killed on the spot. After Yun Zhiqiu went to plead for mercy, Yan Beihong's life was spared. However, Yan Beihong was now imprisoned. This was the most recent incident. It had only been a few days since Yun Zhiqiu returned from the Great Devil Realm, and she was already dealing with the handover of the annual tribute.
In short, Yun Zhiqiu would have to run around to clean up Miao Yi's mess from time to time.
Miao Yi asked anxiously, "What did Yan Beihong do that Eunuch Qiao had to personally deal with him?"
The scholar shook his head and said, "I don't know. Madam should know, but she didn't say anything. Milord, you can ask Madam about it later. "
As they were talking, the two suddenly turned around and saw Yun Zhiqiu walking towards them. She wore a phoenix coronet and was dressed in a loose silk robe. Her collar was rolled up to her shoulders, half wrapping around her fair and elegant neck. Her long skirt trailed behind her.
Her attire made Yun Zhiqiu seem a few sizes bigger. Aside from her voluptuous breasts and the silhouette of her body, her alluring figure was completely masked. Amidst her dignified and alluring demeanor, she exuded the aura of a motherly figure. Miao Yi was dumbfounded by the sight.
The scholar was clearly used to this. He retreated to the side of the road and bowed his head in greeting.
"Madam!" Miao Yi happily walked over and said, "I'm back!"
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiqiu didn't even spare him a glance. It was as though she didn't see him at all, and she forcefully walked right into him. With so many people around, it wasn't convenient for them to hug and hug, so Miao Yi had no choice but to quickly back off to the side. He could only watch as his wife ignored him. Amidst the jingling of her ornaments, Yun Zhiqiu brushed past him, and a familiar scent wafted towards him.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were pleasantly surprised to see Miao Yi. However, they didn't dare to make a sound, and simply followed closely behind Yun Zhiqiu.
Behind them were Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing. They were also pleasantly surprised, but they didn't dare to make a sound either. They simply followed Yun Zhiqiu into the rear hall.
Miao Yi was speechless. 'What's going on? Who's the boss here? The Palace Lord was here, and yet no one took him seriously. '
Miao Yi could only keep this thought to himself. He turned around and asked, "Why is Madam dressed like this? I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize you if I see you on the streets. "
The scholar replied, "This is a gift from the heavens beyond. Mu Fanjun said that this is how Madam should dress. Every year when Madam goes to the Realm Beyond Heaven in Milord's stead, Mu Fanjun will summon Madam alone and give her some clothes to wear. "
Miao Yi's expression darkened. He scoffed, "So what if it's a gift from Mu Fanjun? She's putting on airs in front of me after changing her clothes!"
The scholar reminded him softly, "You know Madam's temper. Milord hasn't returned for many years, and I heard he even snuck away. Madam must be furious. Don't go looking for trouble. It's best to be careful."
Miao Yi's expression twitched, and his aura instantly weakened. However, he quickly straightened his back and said in a manly tone, "Do you think I'm afraid of her? She's not going to overturn the heavens. Just wait and see how I'll deal with her later! "
The scholar looked him up and down, then gave him a thumbs up, as though saying 'you've got guts'. He then urged him in a low voice, "Then why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and go in! "
Miao Yi placed his hands behind his back. He had put on a proper stance, but his feet didn't move. Suddenly, his eyes brightened when he saw Yang Qing walking over. He immediately walked over with a smile, "Head Steward Yang!"
He stopped Yang Qing for a chat.
