"How dare you!"
The eunuch didn't expect the new Emperor's son-in-law to be so daring to disobey His Majesty's orders and speak such arrogant words. His expression immediately darkened.
However, when he raised his head and saw the face of the person beside the princess, his entire body trembled. He fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "I-I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I mistook His Highness Gyeong Of Silla as the Emperor's son-in-law. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Get up." Li Yi naturally wouldn't make things difficult for a eunuch. He waved his hand and said, "Go tell His Majesty that I'll visit him later."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch immediately got up and ran in the direction he came from.
So what if he was the Emperor's son-in-law? To His Majesty, Gyeong Of Silla was much more important …
In the Hall of Diligent Government, Li Xuan suddenly slammed the table and said with a frown, "What? Come find us later? How dare he! He isn't even the Emperor's son-in-law yet he dares …"
He suddenly paused and turned his head to ask, "Who did you say …?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't find the Emperor's son-in-law, but I saw Gyeong Of Silla. Gyeong Of Silla said that he'll visit you later."
"Gyeong Of Silla?" Li Xuan was surprised and pleasantly surprised, "When did Gyeong Of Silla return? Where is he now?"
The eunuch immediately replied, "He's with Princess Shouning in the direction of Hibiscus Garden."
Li Xuan had already stepped out of the door when a young girl ran over and asked, "Imperial Father, where's Little Aunt's son-in-law?"
"Don't worry about Little Aunt's son-in-law for now." Li Xuan squatted down and looked at her, "Xiao Rui, do you miss Duaner? Imperial Father will take you to see Duaner later, okay?"
"Duaner is back!" The little girl's face was full of excitement. She pulled Li Xuan's arm and said, "Why do we have to wait for a while? Let's go now …"
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something. She shook her head and said, "I can't go now!"
As she ran back, she turned around and said, "Father, wait for me. Wait for me to go back and change into some beautiful clothes …"
When she saw Duaner, she was going to bring Duaner to see that rascal who bullied her. Wasn't it just a competition to see who could jump higher? Duaner would definitely be better than that rascal …
…
Li Yi and Shouning parted at the gate of Furong Garden. He didn't need to look for Li Xuan. He would definitely see him at the Li family today.
He didn't return home. Instead, he left Hibiscus Garden and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Because he was delayed by the combat examination today, he had yet to make his daily Egg-Fried Rice.
Imperial Palace.
After watching the competition, MIngzhu went straight back to the Hall of Morning Dew.
The Ministry of Rites had submitted many reports regarding the selection of the Emperor's son-in-law.
Recently, the Qi Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and even the Zhao Kingdom had made many moves. The situation was constantly changing. Although she had delegated most of the political affairs to her subordinates, she still had to handle some matters personally.
A palace maid walked in and said, "Your Highness, it's time to eat."
After the new Emperor of the Qi Kingdom ascended to the throne, he spent a long time stabilizing the domestic situation. Now that the domestic situation had stabilized, there were other movements.
Zhao Yi was a very talented person. If he became the Emperor of the Qi Kingdom, it would not be good for the Jing Kingdom. She was thinking about the meaning of some of the actions of the Qi Kingdom. Without raising her head, she said, "Put it aside for now."
"What are you talking about? You can read the booklet later. The food will get cold soon …"
The booklet in her hand was taken away and replaced with a bowl of fragrant Egg-Fried Rice.
Li Yi leaned on the table and looked down at her. He asked, "You've been eating it every day for the past few days. Aren't you tired of it?"
MIngzhu picked up the spoon and asked, "Aren't you tired of looking at Ruyi every day?"
It was not a question of whether she was tired of it. It was a question of whether she dared to be tired of it.
Li Yi looked at her and asked tentatively, "Did Ruyi come to find you?"
MIngzhu took small bites of the Egg-Fried Rice and nodded.
"She didn't do anything to you, did she?" Li Yi was a little nervous.
MIngzhu looked up at him and asked, "What could she do to me?"
Li Yi did not know how to answer this question.
MIngzhu and Ruyi had been fighting for so many years. She had to compete with Ruyi on everything. Who was better at martial arts, who had bigger breasts, who was first and who was last …
Ever since Ruyi broke through to the Master Stage, she had lost her whole life.
But he could not say it out loud. Otherwise, he would be adding fuel to the fire and deliberately hurt her.
In order to change the topic, he picked up the booklet that she had been reading.
He looked at it and murmured, "Unusual movements at the border of Qi and Zhao … Zhao Yi wants to attack the Zhao Kingdom first. They are all from the Zhao family. Why do they have to do this …"
"The Qi Kingdom wants to attack the Zhao Kingdom?" MIngzhu looked up at him and asked, "Why?"
Although the Zhao Kingdom was not a vassal of the Qi Kingdom, it had been following the lead of the Qi Kingdom for more than ten years. A few years ago, the two countries even joined forces to attack the Jing Kingdom. Why would the Qi Kingdom attack the Zhao Kingdom?
Li Yi said, "Because Zhao Yi wants to be the ruler of the world. He can't defeat the Jing Kingdom or the Wu Kingdom, so he can only pick the weak ones to bully."
"How do you know?"
"He told me."
Li Yi thought for a while and suddenly looked at MIngzhu. He asked, "The ruler of the world, do you want to try? If you want, I can talk to Zhao Yi and ask him to surrender. If he can't be the Empress of the Jing Kingdom, he can be the Empress of this world …"
Zhao Yi wanted to be the ruler of the world, but it did not matter who the ruler was.
If what he said was true, then even Li Yi could not catch up to his strange hobby.
MIngzhu looked at him and asked, "Don't you already have an Empress? Why? Isn't one enough?"
Li Yi was slightly stunned. "When did I have an Empress?"
She took out the booklet at the bottom and handed it to him. She said, "This booklet was sent here urgently this morning."
Li Yi opened the booklet and looked at it.
On the tenth day of the tenth month in the eighth year of Wuren, Princess Duan Rong led a volunteer army of three hundred thousand and attacked the Imperial City of the Wu Kingdom.
At that time, thunder rumbled in the sky. Within a radius of ten miles, people and animals panicked. It was said that Princess Duan Rong was blessed by the Mandate of Heaven and had the help of the God of Heaven sent by the Emperor …
On the morning of the eleventh day of the tenth month, the Imperial City was breached. When Princess Duan Rong entered the city, the people of the Imperial City greeted her on the streets. The Emperor Wu was captured by the Imperial Army in the palace. The moment the city was breached, he committed suicide in the palace with a dagger hidden in his sleeve …
Although Li Yi paid attention to the news of the Wu Kingdom at all times, in terms of speed of transmission, it was still not as fast as the Imperial Court.
Yangliuqing finally completed her path to Empress. Li Yi had seen all the difficulties and obstacles along the way, and a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that MIngzhu was looking at him, he hurriedly put away the smile on his face.
He explained, "She is not my Empress. You know, she is Ruyi's disciple, my martial niece. She only wanted to avenge her parents. The Empress thing was just something that happened along the way …"
MIngzhu finished eating the egg fried rice and put down the spoon. She looked at him and asked, "If she is not, then am I?"
"You are not an Empress yet …"
"I am tired." MIngzhu stood up and said, "I don't want to be an Empress, and I don't want to be an assistant princess …"
Li Yi asked in surprise, "Then what do you want to do?"
She looked at Li Yi and suddenly asked, "Do you still have the thing that I gave you?"
Li Yi reached into his chest and took out a brocade bag.
MIngzhu took the brocade bag that was still warm and opened it.
Inside was a lock of hair.
She looked at Li Yi and asked, "Do you still remember what you said to me before?"
"I remember." Li Yi nodded and said, "I said, if you are tired of this kind of life, you can come and find me."
"There is one more thing," MIngzhu looked at him and slowly said.
"MIngzhu, MIngzhu, I have good news!"
She looked at Li Yi and her lips moved. Li Xuan's voice came from outside.
She returned the brocade bag to Li Yi. Li Xuan strode in and saw Li Yi. He said in surprise, "You are actually here!"
… …
When they were about to reach the Li Xuan Mansion, the little girl next to Li Yi couldn't help it anymore. She asked in a low voice, "Uncle Li, is Duaner back?"
Li Yi nodded with a smile and said, "He's back. He has been clamoring to see you all day."
The little girl's face showed a happy expression. She ran a few steps and then stopped. She slowed down her pace and showed a reserved expression.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Li Duan ran out of the room and asked, "Father, can I see Xiao Rui now?"
Li Yi looked at the little girl next to him and said, "What, you don't even recognize Xiao Rui?"
The two children looked at each other at the same time.
The feelings between children were always the purest, but they often didn't know how to express it.
Li Duan had been clamoring to see Xiao Rui all day, but when he actually saw her, he was so happy that he couldn't even speak. He was so happy that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead …
