Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Xiao Yuanshan turned around, his eyes full of brilliance, "Princess Qingluan? You call me so familiarly, who are you to my daughter?"

Several people paused for a moment, their eyes rolling away, not daring to look him in the eye.

Xiao Yuanshan chuckled, "Stop pretending. I saw through your disguises on the first day I got here."

He reached out and pulled off the nearest man's white beard, "Tsk, tsk, what's this hair? Is it dyed?"

This person was the middle-aged man who gave Xiao Zhixing a Ferghana horse twice.

The man covered his mouth, cried out in pain, slapped his hand away, and cursed angrily, "You reckless man, it hurts me to death."

Xiao Yuanshan threw away his fake beard, looked him around, and then frowned, "You look familiar, have I seen you before?"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "I went to give your daughter a gift when she came of age."

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head, "No, no, you were far away and walked fast, so I didn't see you clearly, but I'm sure I saw you before that!"

The man was slightly stunned, and rolled his eyes guiltily, "Really?"

Xiao Yuanshan said meaningfully: "You are...the one from Billie's family..."

The man interrupted him, "Okay, okay, I admit that we have met before. I am Yin Jia, the princess's close guard."

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly realized, "Great, you bastard who flicked my butt, I finally found you!"

He jumped up and wanted to beat him up, "You dare to touch my buttocks, I must avenge you..."

Unexpectedly, the other two old men clamped him down, making him unable to move. "Come on, let's go inside and talk. There are too many eyes around here. You don't want your daughter to know why you came out, right?"

Xiao Yuanshan broke free and said, "With my daughter's intelligence, she must have guessed it long ago. Hehe, only fools like you think you can hide from her."

Several people were so angry that they had a headache. They glared at him hatefully and rushed into the yard not far away.

Xiao Yuanshan made a calm gesture towards a certain place and followed in leisurely.

Xiao Zhixing immediately focused his attention on Xiao Yuanshan's live broadcast room.

When Xiao Yuanshan entered the room, the five men were already sitting in a row, staring at him.

Xiao Yuanshan simply sat opposite them and nodded, "Tell me, why are you not in Xiaoyan Village? Where is the princess?"

Yin Jia sighed, "To be honest, we don't know where the princess went. As for why we are living in seclusion here, it's a long story."

"Then let's make a long story short."

"Well, the princess told us that she had to go do something very important. She was gone for three months, and she didn't come back. But you got the princess' order and came to take the young master to Shengjing."

"We were afraid of being targeted by that person, so we lied and said the princess was dead and moved here urgently, leaving only Ali and the others waiting for the princess over there. Hey, I didn't expect you to have such a keen nose and find us again."

It seems that he once understood their ways, so it was so easy for him to find them.

Xiao Yuanshan stared at them closely, "Are you sure you don't know where the princess is?"

Yin Jia smiled bitterly, "We are also looking for the princess. We have almost searched all five countries."

The more I look for them, the more disappointed I feel. Could it be that the princess has disappeared out of thin air?

Xiao Yuanshan frowned, a little disappointed. He thought he could get some clues by staring at them, but it was a waste of his time.

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face? Have you been wronged by being stuck here for two years?"

Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly, "If I knew you guys were so useless, I would have gone looking for you guys a long time ago."

Yin Jia was so angry that he jumped up and down, "How come we are useless? At least we have prepared a lot of good things for the princess and the young master, just waiting for them to come and take them."

"What good stuff?"

When Xiao Yuanshan was brought by them into the deep mountains and old forests northwest of Qingzhou, in a top-secret valley, he almost drooled at the tens of thousands of Arabian horses.

Yin Jia was proud, "So? We have figured out a way to increase the number of Ferghana horses, and there are still thousands of mares and foals over there."

Xiao Yuanshan slapped him hard, "How stingy! You have so many excellent war horses, but you only give my daughter some melons and dates."

Yin Jia was so angry that he started cursing again.

Xiao Yuanshan grinned. He was rich, rich. With these war horses, the combat effectiveness of the Xiao family army would be raised to a higher level, and they would even be able to withstand the attack of the same number of cavalry from the northern barbarians.

Xiao Zhixing also smiled. Although Xiao Yan was not found, he gained more than 10,000 good horses, which was also a consolation.

Later, Yin Jia added, "The last news we found was that the princess went to Dongzhou. They said she might have gone out to sea."

Xiao Yuanshan was puzzled, "Why is the princess going out to sea?"

Why did you abandon your young daughter and go out to sea alone?

Xiao Zhixing took it back and looked at it.

She then asked the Ghost Guard to contact Xiao Yuanshan and told him that she wanted all these war horses and would not treat them unfairly. She would pay for them.

Xiao Yan is Xiao Yan, she is her, and she can tell the difference very clearly.

This year passed quite normally, but the palace and Shengjing City were quite lively.

After all, the destruction of the Northern Frontier was a big deal, and everyone in Dasheng organized a lot of lively activities for it.

She still spent New Year's Eve in the palace.

Xianyin Palace is still the same Xianyin Palace.

The first few important ministers are still old faces. Oh, Zhang Rengui has stepped down, and his position as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple has been handed over to Zhao Zhong.

Xiao Zhixing sat alone in the first seat on the left, just below the emperor, and Li Xiao sat in the first seat on the right opposite her.

The left is superior and the right is inferior.

Xiao Zhixing raised her glass to toast Li Xiao, and Li Xiao smiled and toasted her back.

Soon, the emperor, the empress dowager and the concubines attended.

After the emperor and his subjects exchanged greetings, Xiao Zhixing casually glanced at the new concubines.

Look at them, each of them is covered in thick makeup and has a stiff face. They must be guessing that the emperor cannot afford to make a fuss about this.

Zhao Yunqi was the first to drink with her, "Yuan Sheng conquered the northern border and expanded our territory. You have made great contributions. Come, I toast to you."

Xiao Zhixing raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is because of your great trust in me that our army is united in expanding our territory."

Zhao Yunqi laughed out loud, "Yuan Sheng is loyal to the country, so I naturally trust him. You and I, as king and subject, will be a good story for a hundred years."

Xiao Zhixing curled his lips slightly and drank another glass with him.

The others watched their interaction with their ears perked up, with just the right smiles on their faces.

It seems that the emperor and his subjects are in harmony with each other, and the atmosphere is very joyful.

The emperor drank with everyone in turn. When it was Duke Li's turn, he said casually, "I heard that Li Jun has engaged a new wife, and they will get married after the New Year?"

Duke Li nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The wedding will be held on the tenth day of the first lunar month. His mother and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Zhao Yunqi nodded, "The Saint of Nanyi seems to be ill, have you informed Nanyi?"

Duke Li bowed his hands and said, "The Southern Barbarians intend to take the Saint back. I think she may not be compatible with my son. I was just about to ask Your Majesty, what should I do about this marriage?"

Zhao Yunqi waved his sleeves and said, "Since the horoscopes are not compatible, the marriage is cancelled. I cannot harm your daughter."

Now he has become inflated. He feels that a mere saint girl from Nanyi is not worthy of the good man of Dasheng and must be sent back.

Duke Li was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

He was as happy as if he had lost a hot potato.

Xiao Zhixing maintained an official smile. It seemed that Zhao Yunqi and the Emperor System really did not intend to allow Li Jun to marry him again.

Even if they still wanted to, she would have to destroy it.

At this time, a member of the Zhao clan came out and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am kneeling here today at the risk of my life to ask you to adopt a son for the sake of the country!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and resolutely bumped into the corner of the table next to Hawking Knife, bleeding profusely and died.
