The only prince conferred by Long Fei Ye was none other than Gu!
In fact, Long Fei Ye originally wanted to confer Ning Cheng the title of Northern Li King. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng stood him up and did not appear until now. Ning Cheng left in such a way. He respected Ning Cheng's choice. Now, there were only personal grudges between him and Ning Cheng.
Because the place where the Medicine Ghost Valley was located was called "Yu" in the past, Long Fei Ye gave Gu the title of "Yu".
Han Yunxi was also very surprised by this matter. She laughed in her heart. Gu was not a wild crane this time. As long as there was a major event in the imperial court or something in the palace that required the presence of a prince, Gu would not be able to escape!
Gu Beiyue was also very surprised. His thoughts were different from Han Yunxi's. He approved of Long Fei Ye's approach. In the past two years, Xiao Qi had sacrificed too much.
The contest with Bai Yanqing was a big war without smoke. The degree of cruelty was no less than any battle. No one in the imperial court knew how much Xiao Qi had sacrificed. However, Long Fei Ye did not forget. Xiao Qi was worthy of this honor!
Although Gu was not present and did not come forward to hear the conferment, the edict had been issued. This matter was settled!
Currently, Gu Qishao was researching a new type of tea and pastries in the kitchens of a certain estate. He'd missed Rui 'er's full moon celebration, so he decided to build a teahouse himself and gift it to Rui' er when he turned one. He was very busy and had no interest in Long Fei Ye's imperial court matters. He did not care so much.
As for whether he would react when he found out that he had been conferred the title, that was a matter for another day.
After the ceremony, Long Fei Ye led everyone to the altar that had just been built in the western suburbs of Yunning. After the ceremony, the ceremony was completed.
It was already night when they returned to the palace. Long Fei Ye held a banquet and invited officials of the third rank and above. After such a fuss, it was already late at night when they returned to the palace.
Han Yunxi was very tired but still missed Rui 'er. These days, she had been preparing for the ceremony and did not have much time to accompany Rui' er. Now that the dust had settled, everything was settled.
Long Fei Ye, as the emperor, would probably continue to be very busy. However, as the Empress, she should be able to relax for a while. During times of peace, there was no need for her to be involved in military affairs.
As soon as Han Yunxi entered the room, she told the servant girl, "Have Zhao mama bring Rui 'er here. I want to keep him company tonight."
However, Long Fei Ye stopped her and said Coldly, "No need. Everyone can leave. There's no need to serve tonight."
Han Yunxi immediately sensed that something was wrong. Could it be that Long Fei Ye had something important to discuss with her?
She sat down and made tea herself, waiting for Long Fei Ye to come over.
When Long Fei Ye came closer, she got up and hugged him. She whispered, "If there's anything, we can talk later. Let me hug you first."
She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his warm embrace, feeling the scent that was exclusive to her. She had wanted to hug him in the palace during the day and had been holding back until now.
She said, "Long Fei Ye, today … I'm very surprised. It seems … it seems that I only officially married you today. "
Long Fei Ye gently stroked her long hair and kissed her forehead. He smiled but did not say anything.
Han Yunxi laughed. "Say, what would have happened if I hadn't gotten off the sedan chair back then?"
"Didn't you get off the sedan chair?" Long Fei Ye retorted.
Actually, both he and Han Yunxi knew very well that if Han Yunxi hadn't gotten off the sedan chair, there would only be two outcomes. The first was that Han Yunxi would be trapped in the sedan chair and die at the gates of the Duke of Qin's estate. The second was that she would be carried back to the Han estate and sentenced to death for refusing to marry.
Back then, Emperor Tianhui had only given Long Fei Ye a warning. He wouldn't really force him to do anything. No matter the outcome of the contest between Emperor Tianhui and Long Fei Ye, Han Yunxi would be the one to suffer the most. All the blame would be placed on her.
But to the surprise of the entire capital, Han Yunxi actually got off the sedan chair herself.
Han Yunxi wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him. Long Fei Ye looked into her eyes and grew serious. "Yunxi, it's all my fault. Fortunately, you came down. I … can't bear the consequences of missing out. "
"I can't bear the consequences either."
As Han Yunxi spoke, she suddenly stood on her tiptoes and pulled Long Fei Ye down to kiss him. She took the initiative to kiss him passionately.
That one foot in the sedan chair could have caused them to miss out on a lifetime. Both of them felt lingering fear at the thought.
This kiss grew deeper and deeper, more and more lingering.
The two of them had been busy for so long that it'd been a long, long time since they'd kissed and tangled with each other properly.
They were both reluctant to let go.
In the end, it was Long Fei Ye who let go of Han Yunxi first.
Actually, he was the one to let go first every time. Because if he didn't, Han Yunxi wouldn't have been able to break free. No matter who started first, he'd always take the lead in the end.
Han Yunxi was kissed until she was delirious and her cheeks flushed red. She didn't look like a married woman at all, but like a dainty young girl.
She let go of Long Fei Ye. She was too familiar with Long Fei Ye. She could already feel the heat and desire in his kiss. They still had important matters to discuss. Long Fei Ye was going to start his first morning court session tomorrow. She couldn't really be a source of trouble and delay him.
She turned to pour a cup of tea, wanting to wake them up.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye hugged her tightly from behind. He rested his smooth chin on her shoulder and asked, "How did you know I had something to talk to you about?"
"If you have nothing to talk to me about, why did you send the servants away? Why didn't you see your precious son? "Han Yunxi retorted.
In the past, they weren't used to having servant girls keeping watch at night. However, after having little Rui 'er, there was no servant girl keeping watch at night. When little Rui' er made a fuss at night, even the invincible and omnipotent couple couldn't handle it.
Seeing that Long Fei Ye didn't speak, Han Yunxi was puzzled. She asked in return, "Don't tell me you have nothing to talk about?"
Long Fei Ye must have a lot of things to do at the morning court session tomorrow. The six ministries of civil service, civil service, military, penal, and works had just been established. Many major policies needed to be discussed, and Long Fei Ye would make the final decisions.
Han Yunxi could predict many things. For example, someone from the military would probably raise the issue of the military's pay. Soldiers needed pay when they were in war, but they also needed money when they weren't in war! For example, the Ministry of Revenue would propose that Northern Li's disaster relief supplies be reduced. Another example would be the Ministry of Works starting to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue. The construction of the palace in the imperial city required a lot of money.
These problems couldn't be solved in one or two discussions. However, Long Fei Ye had a plan in mind. The infighting and infighting in the imperial court would begin tonight. Tonight, many people were preparing for tomorrow's morning court session!
How could Long Fei Ye have nothing to talk about? Even if he didn't want to talk to her, he would have to talk to Gu Beiyue, right?
Long Fei Ye finally opened his mouth. "There's something important, very important …"
Han Yunxi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She wanted to turn around, but Long Fei Ye held her so tightly that she couldn't move.
Before she could ask, Long Fei Ye's kiss landed on her neck, pecking all the way to her ear. He said in a low voice, "I've paid my debt. Shouldn't you pay yours too?"
"I owe you?" Han Yunxi didn't understand for a moment. Did she owe him a debt? No, right?
Long Fei Ye laughed. "I pay my debt in the morning, and you pay it in the evening. I've owed you for so many years. Since you didn't charge me interest, I won't accept it from you."
He kicked her every time in the morning, and on the night of their wedding …
Han Yunxi suddenly understood what he meant. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Long Fei Ye, you actually still remember this kind of debt!"
She owed him a bridal night!
That night, she had spent the night in his study, looking pitiful. Now that she thought about it, this guy was really despicable! In any case, he was the one who slept in the study!
Long Fei Ye laughed. He carried her in his arms and strode towards the hot spring at the back of the palace. It was close to mid-autumn, and the nights were cold. It was the season to soak in the hot spring.
When she was gently undressed and carried into the water, Han Yunxi finally understood why he sent all the servants away.
The water reached her chest, and the mist was dense. Under the moonlight, her snow-white skin looked even more dainty. The thing that Long Fei Ye couldn't take his eyes off of was her beautiful collarbone.
After a while, he couldn't control himself anymore. He pushed her to the shore and was extremely gentle …
He said there wouldn't be any interest, but he was like a wolf or a tiger. He didn't let her off easily in the hot spring, and when they returned to their rooms, he was even more ruthless.
In the end, Han Yunxi was so tired that she sprawled on top of him. She didn't want to move at all.
She muttered, "Feiye, where did the blood on the red handkerchief come from?"
Long Fei Ye replied, "A drop of blood on my fingertip. That's right, this debt needs to be repaid too. "
Han Yunxi was so confused that she forgot that she'd already paid him back when she cured his poison. When Long Fei Ye flipped her over and bullied her beneath him, she looked at him pitifully, on the verge of tears. "The future is long, the future is long. I'll pay you back slowly, alright? If you oversleep tomorrow and miss morning court, I'll be a sinner. "
Long Fei Ye agreed easily. It'd probably take another round of lovemaking before Han Yunxi realized she'd been tricked, right? The next day, while Han Yunxi was still snoring away, Long Fei Ye went to court.
Just as Han Yunxi thought, there was a pile of important matters to attend to. After Long Fei Ye left court, he stayed in the imperial study with a group of officials until late at night.
Han Yunxi knew he was busy, so she had Zhao mama boil some soup and personally deliver it to him. She also stayed on one side to listen in. The imperial harem didn't interfere with politics, but Han Yunxi's status as the head of the military meant that no one dared to say anything.
When she arrived, Gu Beiyue's men had mentioned Long Tianmo.
When the Imperial Palace was being renovated, Long Tianmo, who was under house arrest, was sent to the yamen's prison and was still locked up to this day. Gu Beiyue cherished Long Tianmo's talent in governing the country and pleaded for him.
Long Fei Ye allowed it, but didn't give him any official title. He only said, "If he has the heart, he can participate in the imperial examinations. When he passes the court examinations, we won't treat him unfairly!"
Han Yunxi felt that it was reasonable. Long Tianmo was the crown prince of the previous dynasty after all. If he had the heart and power to become an official, Long Fei Ye would accept it. If he didn't have the heart, Long Fei Ye didn't need to be a good person.
Just like that, Long Fei Ye began his busy path of governing the country. Han Yunxi accompanied Rui 'er as well as stayed by his side. Their days were busy but happy.
The Tang Clan's hidden weapons were used by the imperial court. Tang Zijin and the elders were busy with the imperial city and the palace. Tang Li was also a fool, so the Tang Clan's affairs fell on Madam Tang's shoulders.
Ning Jing dragged Tang Li to play with her daughter every day. The family of three planted daisies in the mountains of the Tang Clan. She still hadn't given up and would talk to Tang Li about the past every day.
Gu was still busy with his manor, preparing for Rui 'er's first birthday.
Ling 'er went to Medicine City and truly took control of the Mu Clan. She began to accept disciples. Gu Beiyue said that he would take full control of Medicine City and Medicine City under the imperial court's jurisdiction within three years. He would also set up a Food and Drug Administration. Mu Ling 'er did everything to cooperate with him. Occasionally, Mu Ling 'er would think of Qi Brother, but she missed him openly. But when she thought of Jin Zi, she didn't know why she thought of him. Why did she think of him?
Jin Zi returned to Northern Li and took control of the tiger and black clan troops. The Ning Clan troops were under the command of Deputy General Chen, who was personally promoted by Ning Cheng. They respected Jin Zi greatly and didn't complain much about Northern Li's situation.
Since the Ning Clan troops didn't rebel, the people of Myriad Merchant Hall didn't dare to raise any objections. They began to expand their business in hopes of reviving Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's glory one day and contending against the Jiangnan Group.
Ning Cheng still hadn't shown his face, so his whereabouts were a mystery.
Baili Mingxiang had been staying with the Baili Navy all this time, drifting on the seas as the navy's military doctor.
As for Gu Beiyue, he ordered people to bring Qin Min over after he bought the estate in Yunning County. The two treated each other with mutual respect and almost never interacted with each other. Lil Thing didn't disturb Qin Min either, but ran between the Grand Tutor's estate and the palace every day. It often played happily with Rui 'er, but it fled as soon as Long Fei Ye approached.
The civil and military officials of the court had already begun to scheme against each other and fight for fame and fortune, but there were too many things to be done in Cloud Realm Continent after the war. There wasn't much to gain from it. Everyone stopped fighting and put their energy into rebuilding after the war.
With the emperor and empress united, there were too many things to be done. With all the officials working together, the Great Qin Empire would return to Cloud Realm Continent's golden age!

Mo Has Something to Say: Starting with the wedding and ending with the wedding night, Long Dachen has waited for a long time. So has everyone else.
Ye Xi is in love, the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin is cleared, and the Great Qin Empire is established. There are many bugs in the plot, but I hope everyone can understand and improve on them. As for the supporting characters, they weren't supposed to have so many scenes in the main story. Because there were too many drafts to play with, some adjustments were made. The supporting characters' scenes were left to be written in separate chapters. The initial plan included Ye Xi's chapters on ruling the country, raising children, and the southern patrol. Tangning's chapter, Ling 'er's chapter, and a few more chapters on Seventh Young Master and the others … I welcome everyone's suggestions and additions.
The first three days of the chapters will be updated once, then twice a day for the rest of the chapters.
