Chapter 2198: Chapter 2016: Entering the Palace (3)

Lu Hualiang was thrown off balance.

"Yeah, I heard people say that the current emperor has a tiger-like back, a bear-like waist, is fierce and evil, eyes like a bull, nose like a pig, mouth like an elephant, very ugly."

"Who did you hear this from!" Lu Liangliang was furious!

Who the hell spread such rumors!

Leaving such a terrible impression on his wife is absolutely unforgivable!

"Everyone is saying it like that." It’s not like she spread the rumors randomly, why look at her that way.

Lu Hualiang gritted his teeth, "You believe whatever others say?"

"Yes, why not believe? Emperor Xia Liang fought hard to establish himself as the founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom. This person must be fierce, hideous, it fits his character."

Lu Hualiang, "..."

He raised his hand to rub his forehead, not knowing what to say.

His wife’s impression of him was so terrible, it was despairing.

Just then, the sedan stopped at the city gate, and a voice from a black-clad subordinate came from outside.

"Your Majesty, we’ve arrived."

Before Lu Hualiang could speak, Xia Weibao smiled and said, "Finally arrived, traveling for five days is exhausting..."

Wait a minute, what did that subordinate in black just say?!

Her brain froze, like a puppet slowly turning her head, creakily looking at the man next to her.

Lu Hualiang’s eyes, initially gentle, now turned cold and stern, giving off an invisible sense of pressure.

The sedan curtain was lifted by the subordinate, and Lu Hualiang bent down to exit.

As he stepped down from the sedan, the civil and military officials waiting at the city gate all knelt in unison.

"Welcome His Majesty back to the palace!"

"Welcome His Majesty back to the palace!"

Their voices were loud and echoed through the land!

All the citizens isolated around them also knelt, bowing deeply, those who wanted to glimpse the emperor’s face dared not lift their heads now.

In everyone’s eyes, the imperial power is a terrifying thing, pressing them so they can’t raise their heads.

Lu Hualiang coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, exuding a regal aura of authority from his core.

Just when everyone thought he would enter the city, he turned around and personally lifted the sedan curtain, reaching out his hand inside.

"Get down."

Xia Weibao was still in a daze, completely unsure how to react.

Blankly staring at the man’s noble hand, she woodenly placed her small hand into his palm.

His palm remained warm, but at this moment she couldn’t feel it.

She dazedly allowed him to lead her down from the sedan.

The civil and military officials welcoming at the city gate looked at each other in confusion.

What’s going on, the emperor traveled incognito and brought back a woman?

Although puzzled, no one dared to speak.

And they quickly accepted this fact.

Historically, emperors have been known for their romantic escapades, bringing back a concubine during incognito travels occurs in nearly every dynasty.

Their emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, young and worldly, in the prime of life, bringing back a beautiful woman is perfectly normal.

Seeing Xia Weibao’s continued dazed state, Lu Hualiang’s eyes softened with a gentle smile; it seemed she was truly shocked.

"Let’s go."

Leading her forward, but just before reaching the city gate, his palm was suddenly empty.

Lu Hualiang halted, puzzled, and turned back, glancing at Xia Weibao’s withdrawn hand before focusing on her face.

"What’s wrong?"

"Are you Emperor Xia Liang?"

"Yes."

In this situation, there was no need to say anything more.

Xia Weibao shook her head in disbelief, "You’re lying to me."

Lu Hualiang furrowed his brows, "I’ve never lied to you."

"Why didn’t you tell me you’re the current emperor, you think it’s fun to fool me!"
