"It seems that you are really crazy."
After touching her forehead and checking her pulse, and ruling out the possibility of fever and Qigong Deviation, Miss.Liu said with absolute certainty.
She no longer cared about MIngzhu's gaze. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looked at him and asked, "In the martial arts world, martial arts are respected, regardless of gender or age. The Emperor is different. Since ancient times, has any woman ever been the Emperor?"
What she said was wrong. There were too many women who had been the Emperor, too many to mention. Let's not talk about the distant ones, let's just talk about …
Miss.Liu's question was off-topic. It was not the point they were talking about at all.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "There is a first time for everything. Before you, has there been a woman who has been the Chief of Wulin?"
Before Miss.Liu, there had not even been a Chief of Wulin, let alone a woman who had been the Chief of Wulin. Why couldn't there be a female Emperor?
"MIngzhu is different from other princes and princesses. She has a very high prestige in the court. After the fall of the Cui family, all the civil and military officials in the court are very convinced of her. In the hearts of the people, in the eyes of the scholars, no one can compare to her. If she was a man, I'm afraid she would have been sitting on that throne long ago."
This kind of unprecedented thing was suddenly brought up, of course, it was hard to accept.
Fortunately, under his subtle influence over the years, Miss.Liu's ability to accept new things was very strong. Her eyes showed a look of understanding, which made Li Yi very happy.
Miss.Liu looked up at him and asked, "If MIngzhu becomes the Emperor, can't she get married?"
Li Yi nodded. He had seen the Emperor, but who had the ability to marry the Emperor?
Miss.Liu asked again, "Then she can't build a harem?"
"What are you thinking about? MIngzhu isn't that kind of person …" Li Yi knocked her head with his finger. After he realized it was Miss.Liu in front of him, not Xiao Huan or Lolita. Half of his buttocks left the chair, ready to escape at any time.
Surprisingly, Miss.Liu didn't seem to care about his unreasonable behavior. She held Autumn Water and said, "Okay, since you want to help her, then help her."
Although Miss.Liu was usually a little unruly and headstrong, she was still very reasonable at critical moments. Li Yi was very pleased. Then, he thought of something and looked at her and asked, "Just now, you said that the way MIngzhu looked at me was strange. What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Miss.Liu's tone was very unfriendly. She glared at him fiercely and turned around to return to her room.
Being stared at for no reason, Li Yi felt a little wronged. But if she liked to stare at him, then so be it. Anyway, she looked pretty good when she stared at him …
Seeing that there was only half a year left until the New Year, the next few days would be very busy. The old generals had to go from house to house to get closer to each other. Otherwise, the next time they went to court, there would be no pillar to sleep on.
Other important officials in the court also had to find opportunities to contact them. In addition, the royal family had lost face this time. They had to think of a way to regain some of the face they had lost to the King of Shu.
MIngzhu was the pride of the royal family and also the most suitable candidate. The brothel had to come up with some new dramas and stories to praise her achievements. There was no need to exaggerate how good the Princess Royal was. The people had their own scale …
Changing the marriage law, opening a medical center, opening a school, managing the court …
She was simply a role model for a good princess in the new era, a role model for future generations. There was no other in the world …
…
The warm autumn sun hung high in the sky. The weather was rare. A clean white cloth was spread on the grass. In two months, the two little guys would be one year old. Now was the time for them to move around more. They crawled around on the white cloth. Xiao Huan and the maid named Yanzhi from the Prince's Mansion watched them from the grass. Ruyi and the Prince's Concubine were on a boat on the lake. The proud Lolita held her arm to accompany them. It was too far away to hear what they were talking about.
Li Yi sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and ate a grape. He asked casually, "I heard that a few more princes have returned to the capital?"
"Three." Li Xuan nodded and said.
"However, it's useless for them to return to the capital. Even if there's a fight for the Crown Prince, it won't be their turn." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "They might as well learn from the others and stay in their feudal lands obediently. Right now, it's easy to enter the capital but hard to leave …"
Li Xuan's words were not without reason. Everyone knew what the princes who had returned to the capital at this time were thinking. However, there was only one position. If they managed to get it, they would transform from a flood dragon to a dragon. If they failed to get it, they could only be a snake, and there was a high chance that they would end up as a dead snake.
It was better for those princes who knew that they had no hope of getting the throne and stayed in their feudal lands obediently. It was better to be an idle prince who stood aloof from worldly affairs than to lose their lives.
"There are six adult princes who have stayed in the capital. Prince Qi and Prince Xin are the two with the most backing. Of course, they still can't be compared to the King of Shu in the past. However, now that the Cui Clan has fallen, there's no hope for the King of Shu. On the surface, it seems that they have the highest chance of getting the throne."
[Note: The title 'Prince Qi' was something I randomly came up with back then. I didn't take the Qi Kingdom into consideration and there's no other meaning to it. It's useless to dwell on these meaningless things. Let's just treat it as an ordinary title.]
Li Yi threw the grape skin into the lake, and fish immediately swam over. He then asked, "These princes probably won't be able to stay idle for the time being, right?"
"How can they possibly stay idle …" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "They're busy visiting the officials of the imperial court, sending gifts everywhere, forming cliques, and seizing power …"
He suddenly looked at Li Yi and asked, "What should we do now? If you and MIngzhu have made any decisions, don't hide it from me again."
Li Yi looked at him and said, "Don't you know how to read lips? There's no need for us to tell you to know what we're talking about. Who can hide it from you?"
"You don't have to mock me." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "At that time, I wasn't good enough. But it's different now. As long as I'm not too far away and can't see clearly, I can almost guess what you're talking about."
"Moreover …" He changed his tone and said, "Even if I don't look, I can guess what MIngzhu will choose in the end."
Li Xuan said with certainty, "For her and for you, she will definitely do it."
"You guessed it?" Li Yi looked at him in surprise. It was said that a scholar who had been away for three days would be looked at in a new light. Li Xuan had suddenly become smart, and it was really hard for him to get used to it.
"Of course … I didn't guess it …" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "A few days ago, Brother Shen said that if the new Emperor ascends to the throne, you and MIngzhu will be in danger. I thought about it. With MIngzhu's personality, she won't care if she's in danger or not. But with you, it's different …"
Li Yi suddenly looked at him and asked, "You didn't tell this to your Brother Shen, did you?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not stupid. This kind of thing, other than the three of us, I can't tell anyone else. Do I look like the kind of person who would casually tell this kind of thing to others?"
"That's not necessarily true …" Li Yi shook his head and said, "I heard that your Brother Shen has a beautiful and charming sister. If you use a honey trap a little …"
"Do you think I'll be so ungrateful for a beauty?" Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously, "But, you don't say, Brother Shen's sister is really beautiful …"
"I'm just joking. How could I not trust you?" Li Yi waved his hand. In fact, compared to Brother Shen's sister, he was more worried about "Brother Shen" himself.
"Speaking of honey traps …" Li Xuan suddenly looked at him and asked, "You have so many beauties around you, I'm worried about you …"
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Li Yi looked at him and asked, "I trusted you so much, and this is how you treat my trust?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan lowered his head in shame and said, "I still think you are. For them, what wouldn't you do?"
"Furthermore, your wife seems to have a younger sister who's even more beautiful and charming than her …"
