Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Speaking of which, when the empress dowager first saw the photo and saw Qin Yanzheng's appearance in the photo, the four words "unparalleled gentleman" popped up in her mind. She felt that Qin Yanzheng did not belong to any of the noble families of Daxia in terms of appearance or temperament. Even in the eyes of the empress dowager, Emperor Wen Zhao was not as handsome as Qin Yanzheng.

"It's impossible to get a photo!"

Han seemed not to have heard what the Queen Mother said before. She said this in a bad mood. Well, it was a response to the Queen Mother's request for a photo.

After a moment of shock, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't be angry with me, I was just joking with you!"

There are only two photos of her younger sister in the house, and she knows how much her parents love her!

How could he take the palace back without considering the feelings of the two elders?

The Queen Mother raised the corners of her lips and smiled. She looked at the two babies in the photo held by Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng. She said, "Mom, Dabao and Erbao look like my brother-in-law!"

The photo was taken by Song Lan when Dabao and Erbao were about half a year old. She and Qin Yanzheng took the two little ones to the photo studio in town.

"Dabao's expression is also like my brother-in-law's. He doesn't seem to like to smile. Erbao looks exactly like Dabao, but he looks like a little baby who loves to smile."

The Queen Mother said this with a smile on her face. Han, who was beside her, glanced at the photo and said softly, "Erbao seems to have a more lively personality."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's voice rang out again: "Our Dabao looks steady and reserved, he really looks like a big brother!"

Han hummed, then said, "Lan'er got married in the other world and gave birth to twins. I'm very happy. I just hope she lives as happily as she wrote in her letter."

"Sister won't lie to you and my father in the letter. Besides, judging from this photo, my brother-in-law is definitely an upright gentleman. Moreover, my sister Song Jun is excellent and beautiful. Only a fool would leave such a good wife without cherishing her."

After a pause, the Queen Mother continued, "Besides, with Lan'er's intelligence and skills, it would be absolutely easy for her to subdue my brother-in-law."

She glanced at the photo indifferently. To be more precise, her gaze paused briefly at Qin Yanzheng's position in the photo.

"What are you talking about?!"

Han glared: "Our Lan'er's martial arts are very good, but she would never do anything rude to her husband."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded as she said, "Yes, yes, Lan'er will use her clever brain to subdue my brother-in-law and make him dare not mess around outside!"

Han glared again at him. "What nonsense! I can't see your brother-in-law in person, but judging by the photo, he has clear eyes and a righteous look. He must be a man of integrity!"

"Whatever mother says is what it is!"

The Queen Mother's words seemed perfunctory, meant only to liven up the atmosphere. Upon hearing this, Han's face darkened: "Are you doubting your mother's ability to judge people?"

"How dare I?"

As soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother saw Han's expression change, and hurriedly said, "No, mother, please listen to my explanation. I absolutely cannot doubt your ability to judge people!"

His expression was serious, and he was just about to raise his hand to swear.

"Alright, you're becoming less and less like an empress dowager!"

Gently tapping the Queen Mother's forehead, Han took back the photos and said, "You can't take these two photos away with you!"

"Mom, you are too wary of me!"

The Queen Mother looked aggrieved: "Also, why am I becoming less and less like a Queen Mother? How about you tell me what a Queen Mother should look like?"

"I want to go by myself!"

After replying unhappily, Han stood up and put the photo back into the carved wooden box in front of the dressing table. Then, she returned to the couch and sat down, saying with a serious face, "You are the Queen Mother after all.

But you can't keep acting on your own accord like this. If you go out of the palace too often, you might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. If something goes wrong with you then, what will the emperor do?

If things go wrong, the Duke's Mansion might even be blamed!"

As for who she was angry with, Han didn't say, but the Queen Mother knew it clearly.

Although the emperor was her son, true love has been rare in the royal family since ancient times. Moreover, there are few emperors in history who are not suspicious. If she really gets into an accident one day because she quietly leaves the palace to return to the Duke's Mansion, who knows what the emperor will think.

In other words, it is possible that the emperor took his anger out on the Duke's Mansion.

With the help of various good things that benefit the country and the people that Song Lan sent through the system from time to time, Daxia can be said to be developing rapidly in all aspects under the leadership of Emperor Wen Zhao.

This resulted in everyone from Emperor Wen Zhao to ordinary people suffering.

As the prime minister, Xiao Yu was naturally more involved, because he didn't want to disappoint Song Lan. He wanted to use the time he spent on eating and sleeping to handle official business so that Daxia could enter a prosperous era as soon as possible.

Time flies, and Emperor Wen Zhao is already forty years old. Similarly, Prime Minister Xiao Yu is no longer young. Knowing that Xiao Yu is a good prime minister who cares about Daxia and is a rare capable and good minister in the court, in order to prevent his beloved prime minister from getting exhausted, Emperor Wen Zhao, as a king and a wise ruler, often advised Xiao Yu to rest more.

However, Xiao Yu agreed verbally but continued to act as usual, as if he was burning his life to promote the prosperity of the Great Xia Kingdom and its people.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

"Lord Xiao, the economy, agriculture, military, and handicrafts are all developing very well now. You don't have to keep working so hard. So, I order you to rest at home for at least ten days starting tomorrow!"

Emperor Wen Zhao sat behind the imperial desk. He looked at Xiao Yu, his expression changing from gentle to serious. "Also, I will arrange for the imperial physician to go to your residence to help you recuperate. You know that I and Daxia cannot live without you, so I hope you take care of yourself!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for my health. However, I am in good health and do not need to rest at home for a long time."

Xiao Yu stood up from his chair. He first bowed to express his gratitude for the emperor's grace, and then politely declined the leave specially granted to him by Emperor Wen Zhao.

"I just said that letting you rest is an order, not a discussion with you, my dear."

Emperor Wen Zhao deliberately put on a stern face. Seeing this, Xiao Yu could only bow and express his gratitude: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I obey your command!"

After a while, the emperor and his minister said goodbye. When Xiao Yu took a few steps back and turned to walk out of the imperial study, Emperor Wen Zhao looked at his slightly hunched back, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

He knew that Xiao Yu had been sitting for a long time handling official business, which caused some problems with his spine. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to straighten his back when walking.

Unfortunately, Daxia's current medical technology does not have a proper way to treat spinal diseases!

Also, his beloved Xiao's hair has turned gray very quickly in the past two years, which shows how much he has sacrificed for Daxia...

A thin old man with white hair walked out of the palace gate. Needless to say, this old man was Xiao Yu, the Prime Minister of Daxia.

"master!"
