Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Yao Jia gently stroked her pregnant belly, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation, "Thank you very much, Madam. After I give birth safely, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Midwife Du smiled so hard that only her teeth were visible and not her eyes. She then gave some detailed instructions on pregnancy care before leaving with peace of mind.

After she left, Lang Yue quickly opened the package and checked it. Although Du Wenpo's family was clean, in times of emergency, one should be cautious in everything.

After a careful inspection, he confirmed that the package was full of finely handmade small clothes and toys, and the fabrics were also some of the precious fabrics he had admired in the past. There was nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Imperial City, Hall of Supreme Harmony

Xiao Fengyi stared angrily at the court officials kneeling in the center of the hall.

These people are all the ones who recently wrote letters to impeach Yao Jia due to rumors in Kyoto.

Some even took the opportunity to impeach Yao Jia for "making a fortune under the pretext of marrying a husband."

"enough!"

Xiao Fengyi slammed the armrest of the dragon throne, causing a dull sound to echo in the hall.

The court officials who were standing were also startled, not to mention those who had offended the emperor.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into those phoenix eyes burning with anger.

"When did my court turn into a market place? Just a few rumors can make you lose your mind and forget your duties as a minister?"

He threw the impeachment memorial of Yao Jia for marrying one man a month in the face of a young official.

Red marks instantly appeared on that jade-white face.

"Zhang Bowen, you are so idle that you are anxious. As a new scholar, you don't worry about the snow disaster in the northwest, and don't think about how to help the people. Instead, you are here gossiping and making up stories about my ministers?

I think you should go and visit the common people who are suffering from the disaster, maybe that will help you become more righteous!"

Zhang Bowen's face turned pale, and he trembled as he begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong. I was confused."

Xiao Fengyi snorted coldly and glanced at the few people with a sharp gaze.

"You all believed the rumors and submitted a petition to impeach Nangong Jiayao. But did you know that the man you called 'dissolute and immoral' and 'extravagantly amassing wealth' had the Baiji Store in the north set up porridge stalls in the disaster-stricken areas to help the people. The Baiji Store in Kyoto even joined forces with other major stores to spontaneously raise silver for the court! What about you?"

The hall suddenly fell silent. All the ministers looked at each other, all of them speechless and intimidated by the emperor's majesty and questioning.

Many of them already felt regretful and were secretly surprised at what Yao Jia had done.

The leader of Tianxing Pavilion had been silently helping the imperial court solve its problems in private, but they were making groundless accusations based solely on rumors.

"I know that people's words are scary, but as a court official, I should distinguish right from wrong instead of just following the crowd."

Xiao Fengyi's voice softened a little, but it still carried unquestionable majesty, "My beloved Nangong cares about the world, and I know her achievements. As for her marriage, it is a personal matter, I will not comment on it, and it is not your turn to comment on it!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers lowered their heads with expressions of shame.

“From now on, if anyone dares to slander Pavilion Master Nangong without reason, or uses this matter to cause trouble, I will not forgive him easily!

As for the snowstorm in the northwest, I have ordered the Ministry of Revenue to urgently allocate food and fodder, and the Ministry of Works to organize manpower and material resources to build embankments. As court officials, you should put state affairs first and cooperate with us fully, instead of wasting your breath here!"

Xiao Fengyi's words were powerful, hitting everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

All the ministers kowtowed and promised: "We will obey your order and do our best to help the country."

Xiao Fengyi waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, and peace returned to the hall.

He sat alone on the dragon throne, his eyes full of fatigue. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Yaoyao, I am sorry for you. You are pregnant now and still have to endure these gossips."

At this time, Sihe approached with a secret letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, it was sent by Mrs. Du."

Xiao Fengyi quickly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly became sharp, he took the secret letter, opened it and took a closer look.

His brows gradually furrowed, and his eyes were filled with pain.

"She really did want to leave."

His hand tightened the secret letter little by little, and his fingertips turned slightly white due to the force.

Xiao Fengyi was in an extremely heavy mood.

Although the letter did not directly state that Yao Jia was leaving, it did explain that Gu Xiyan was planning to resign.

"Sihe, prepare the carriages and horses. I want to go to Nangong Mansion in person."

Sihe nodded and reminded: "Your Majesty, the Queen's side..."

"Tell the guards to keep a close watch and not let even a bug fly out."

Most of the memorials impeaching Yao Jia came from the disciples of Grand Tutor Qi.

"Master Qi is really getting old and confused now."

Nangong Mansion, Ruyi Tower

Yao Jia lay on the couch with her eyes closed, stroking the fur of the white cat in her arms with one hand and clapping to the rhythm of the cheerful piano played by Lang Yue with the other hand.

Xizhi also said that when women from Liang State were pregnant, they would often go to music halls to listen to prenatal education music, and the children born in this way would be smarter, more well-behaved and sensible.

Bai Huahua was doing needlework at the same time. Ever since he saw Du Wenpo and the others making toys for Xiao Xingxing with cloth, he also started to become scheming.

"Crazy girl, the emperor is coming!"

Ye Sinan lifted the heavy door curtain, letting in a few snowflakes.

Yao Jia paused what she was doing, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she looked at Lang Yue, signaling him to stop playing the piano.

He picked up the cat and stood up slowly, straightening his clothes. "Is he finally here? I just wonder why he came this time?"

Ye Sinan shrugged, sighing, "Maybe he heard those rumors and came here to comfort you. Old Zhengjun is having tea with me, so he asked me to invite you over."

Yao Jia nodded and returned the white cat in her arms to Bai Huahua.

Bai Huahua took the cat with a frown on her face, obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Fengyi's sudden visit.

"Yaoyao, you..." He hesitated to speak, and finally chose to stand aside and watch quietly.

Yao Jia chuckled, "Why, you're worried about me meeting him? Then come with me."

Then he looked at Lang Yue and Ye Sinan, "You guys come too, and call Huaichuan as well."

As soon as he raised his hand, Bai Huahua understood and let go of Bobo, then stepped forward to steady him.

Lang Yue and Ye Sinan followed behind him, one on the left and one on the right, while Huaichuan quickly followed from the other side. The group walked towards the main hall in a mighty manner.

In the main hall, Lin Congmo and others were drinking tea with Xiao Fengyi, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Seeing Yao Jia and others coming in one after another and quickly blocking the spacious door tightly, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Xiao Fengyi's gaze softened the moment Yao Jia appeared, but then it was tinged with some complicated emotions.

He stood up and walked towards Yao Jia. He wanted to take a few steps forward, but seemed to be hesitating about something. In the end, he just stood there and looked at her quietly.

Yao Jia smiled at him and bowed with everyone else.

"Your Majesty has arrived. Nangong Jiayao and the other husbands failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Your Majesty will forgive us."

He raised his hand to help her, but was met with Bai Huahua's vigilant eyes. He extended his hand and silently withdrew it.

"You are in heavy condition, so there's no need to be polite." Xiao Fengyi said softly, his phoenix eyes full of concern.

Yao Jia shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, I am honored to be here in person. How can I not remember the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects?"

When Xiao Fengyi heard this, his eyes were filled with hidden pain.

"My dear Nangong, how are you these days?" His voice was trembling, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

Yao Jia's eyes were filled with a happy smile as she leaned towards Bai Huahua without making a sound. As she got older, her waist inevitably felt sore after walking for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have so many husbands accompanying me, and I am about to give birth, so I am naturally in great shape."
