Chapter 284 Cannon fodder in the novel about the female leader (27)
There was no other expression on her face, and Xiao Yanzhi didn't dare to stare at her face, so he didn't see any clues.
She said coldly, "He didn't."
Wuyou's face suddenly became hot, and he wanted to refute.
He wanted to stand beside her openly.
If he had the identity of the prime minister's son, he would be able to get what he wanted.
Xiao Yanzhi showed a regretful expression: "So there isn't one? That shouldn't be the case. What a pity. My family is full of sisters. It would be great if I had a brother to accompany me."
"The Prime Minister has devoted all his energy to the country and the people. Since Young Master Xiao has such a wish, I will give him two men one day. The Prime Minister is still sharp, and perhaps in two years, Young Master Xiao will get what he wants."
Xiao Yanzhi: "..."
It was extremely offensive to say such words in front of an unmarried man, and Xiao Yanzhi was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he managed to utter, "Thank you, Your Highness."
A woman said in front of him that she wanted to give his mother a man and give him more brothers. Xiao Yanzhi was almost angry to death, but he had to pretend to be magnanimous as a man.
He had only known that the princess was ruthless and ruthless in her actions, but today he realized that she was also so vicious in her words.
"Mr. Xiao, you don't have to be so polite. If you have nothing else to do, please go back. This is the Eastern Palace after all. If you stay here for too long, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
The order to expel the guest was issued without any courtesy.
Xiao Yanzhi was not so shameless, so he stood up and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
As for Wuyou, who was denied by Li Changhuan himself as the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion who had been living outside for many years, he didn't even look at him and turned away.
Li Changhuan was indeed a sharp-tongued person. Wuyou thought that he was just embarrassed, so he left quickly without giving it much thought.
After the person's back disappeared, he blushed and asked, "I obviously have it, why do you say you don't have it?"
Li Changhuan pinched his face and said, "I've never heard of the Prime Minister's Mansion looking for a young man who has been away for many years. He just saw you the other day, and today he chased after you. Aren't you afraid that he has other intentions?"
Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "But if I really am the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion who has been living abroad, then I will have the right to truly stand by your side. Isn't that good?"
"You don't need these, and you are qualified to stand beside me with dignity."
Wuyou wanted to say something, but Li Changhuan simply picked him up and stood up, walking towards their bedroom.
-
Two days later, the envoys from Dongli were going back to Dongli. The large amount of gold, silver and treasures they brought were left in Beiyan. Li Changhuan gave them a contract of alliance between the two countries, agreeing not to go to war for ten years.
Of course, the premise is that Dongli behaves well and doesn't cause any trouble.
The third princess Li Changle escorted the envoys of Dongli out of the border and at the same time appeased the soldiers and civilians at the border. The empress issued an imperial decree, and Li Changle packed up and followed.
The second princess Li Changru was assigned to preside over the repair of the emperor's mausoleum. The empress was seriously ill, so this matter was also of top priority.
Naturally, she was not willing to do such a thing that had no profit to be made but would have to bear the consequences. This was her mother's mausoleum. Not to mention that she wanted to tamper with it, if she didn't do anything and supervise it carefully, if something went wrong in the future, people all over the world would call her unfilial.
Li Changru felt so frustrated.
She felt that Li Changhuan was acting on his own initiative and wanted to find the empress to seek justice for her, but the empress said that it was her own decision.
As for the eldest princess, she was ill and was not assigned any tasks.
The court gradually stabilized and the empress's condition also improved.
At this moment, the empress learned about Wuyou from the prime minister.
To be precise, it was the Prime Minister who mentioned to her that the noblewoman in the Eastern Palace looked like her youngest son who had been living away from home for more than ten years. After her eldest son met her, he went to the Eastern Palace to visit her in person.
The empress immediately became active and called Li Changhuan to her palace.
After some questioning, she said, "I understand what the Prime Minister means. Huan'er, since she has this self-awareness, why don't you take this opportunity to welcome that person into the East Palace?"
Regardless of whether that man was the Prime Minister's lost son, the Prime Minister's purpose in telling her about this matter was very simple, which was to allow him to use the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion and enter the East Palace openly.
The real purpose is to please the future king.
The empress thought this was feasible.
Li Changhuan shook his head: "The Prime Minister has ulterior motives. I don't feel safe letting him return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The empress pondered for a moment and said, "I have issued an order for you to get married as soon as possible. He will go back for one night and send someone to guard him. Nothing will happen."
Li Changhuan still refused: "Queen Mother, I can take care of these things. You don't have to worry about it. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself."
The empress spoke weakly, "Huan'er, I'm in such a bad shape that I might not live for even ten days or half a month. The court officials are shouting "Long live my father!" but who in this world can truly live forever? Even a hundred years is hard to come by. I just want to see you marry and have children before then."
Perhaps because she said too much at once, she couldn't help coughing a few times. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but when she took it off, there was blood.
Li Changhuan exclaimed in surprise: "Queen Mother!"
The empress waved her hand.
"Didn't the imperial physician say that you're feeling better?"
The Empress's voice softened. "It's just a flash of youth, Huan'er. I'm very confident in your governance. It's the issue of heirs that keeps me awake at night. You're still young, and I shouldn't force you. But I don't have time."
She will never have a coercive or opposing attitude towards Li Changhuan now. Personally, this is her daughter whom she has raised since she was a child. She hopes that she can live a safe, smooth, happy and healthy life!
Yu Gong, she is dying now, and the country will be handed over to her sooner or later. Arguing with her now will only lead to Li Changhuan taking out his anger on her sisters after your death.
Now give her some advice and go along with her in everything. Only then can she make her demands. Unless they are collaborators and traitors, her lives must be spared no matter what.
Li Changhuan was silent for a long time, but he still didn't agree: "Let me think about this matter again."
The empress showed a bitter look on her face. She didn't know who her daughter took after, but she developed such a loyal character. She no longer had the bold and reckless nature in other matters. When facing that man, she was like an enemy of every tree.
Fortunately, she was strong-willed and could control the court officials, so this shortcoming was not a big deal.
She patted Li Changhuan's hand: "Okay."
