1 The Emperor Is Actually a Woman

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The thirteenth year of the Dayou Dynasty.

The capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, and the imperial city was even more festive.

On the streets, be it pedestrians or officials, they were all smiling from ear to ear.

The reason for this was that yesterday, the emperor of the Dayou Dynasty married the empress, which was a joyous occasion for the entire country.

However, what everyone did not know was that the emperor was troubled over this matter. No one in the world knew that the emperor was actually a woman.

If not for the fact that she was afraid of being suspected of her gender, why would she marry someone just to prove herself?

After solving a problem, another problem emerged.

And that was that as a woman, how could she consummate her marriage with the empress?

In the imperial study, the young emperor, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, sat at the desk and was reading a memorial with a frown.

However, although she was staring at the memorial, her mind had already drifted away.

"Sigh, on the day of the wedding, I could get away with it by getting drunk, but today, what kind of excuse can I make to brush her off?

"Even if I managed to brush her off today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow…"

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Your health is more important. Do you think we should set off for the Palace of Earthly Tranquility?"

It was almost 11:30 pm, but the young emperor had no intention of wanting to rest at all.

The old eunuch couldn't help but bow and remind the emperor carefully.

However, after the old eunuch finished speaking, the young emperor continued to look at the memorial in her hand with a frown.

"I'm not tired yet. I'll read the memorial for a while longer."

"What about Her Majesty the Empress…"

After the young emperor said that she was not tired, the old eunuch actually reminded her to think about the empress.

However, before the old eunuch could finish, the young emperor immediately frowned even more. Then, she waved her hand impatiently and berated,

"I already said that I'm not tired. Alright, wait outside."

When the old eunuch heard this, he did not dare to speak anymore. He immediately bent down and bowed. Then, he took three steps back before turning around and waving at the people on both sides of the hall to retreat outside.

The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides immediately bowed and tiptoed out.

However, just as this group of people walked out, the young emperor, who was frowning and reading the memorial, suddenly heard a very resentful voice.

[This life is really unbearable. With a word from this bastard young emperor, I'm going to stand at the door and feed the mosquitoes again.]

[No, I have to find a time to sneak out of the palace!]

[As long as I leave the palace, as a transmigrator, I believe I can easily become a rich man…]

Hearing this, the young emperor was stunned for a moment before she immediately slammed the memorial on the table in front of her.

"Who is it? Who is talking in my study?"

She was already filled with frustration, so when she heard that someone actually called her a bastard, she immediately exploded with anger.

With this slap on the table and such a loud shout, the palace maids and eunuchs who were retreating immediately shivered in fear.

Then, all of them knelt down with their heads lowered. They were so frightened that their bodies were trembling and they did not dare to make a sound.

Among this group of people, a young eunuch was a little different from the rest. When everyone beside him knelt down, he was left standing on the spot in a daze.

It was not until two seconds later that he reacted and quickly knelt down like everyone else. At the same time, he could not help but complain in his heart.

At the same time, the young emperor heard a sarcastic voice again.

[What's wrong with this young emperor? Who provoked him?]

[And this bunch of idiots. They didn't even tell me in advance that they were going to kneel. They are clearly trying to harm me!]

[No, accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger. It's better to sneak out of the palace as soon as possible!]

[Wait! Is this young emperor staring at me?]

"Your Majesty, I didn't hear anyone speak just now. Your Majesty must be too tired. Please rest early…"

At this moment, the old eunuch bowed and spoke, his face filled with worry.

It was obvious that he was genuinely concerned about the young emperor's health.

However, the young emperor did not care about his concern at all. Instead, she suddenly stood up.

Then, she walked towards the group of palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground.

Sensing the emperor approaching, the eunuchs and palace maids broke out in cold sweat.

Lin Yi, who was looking down and complaining in his heart, suddenly saw a pair of golden boots on the ground in front of him.

He was stunned and his heart almost stopped beating.

Only the emperor could wear these golden boots…

Then, the young emperor heard complaints again.

[What's going on? Why is the young emperor in front of me??]

At the same time, Lin Yi heard the young emperor's voice.

"Lift your head up."

As soon as he heard that, Lin Yi had a bad feeling. Then, he quickly raised his head without hesitation.

[Why is this young emperor calling me?! I didn't do anything wrong!!]

As Lin Yi raised his head, he immediately saw a frown on the young emperor's face. Then, he heard the young emperor ask, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Lin Yi."

Hearing the young emperor's question, Lin Yi subconsciously answered.

"Little Lin, stay. The rest of you, leave!"

After Lin Yi spoke, the little emperor immediately confirmed that the voices in her mind were coming from this little eunuch.

However, she was very puzzled. This little eunuch clearly did not speak just now, but why did she hear his voice?

Could it be that she could hear his thoughts?
