The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

The next day

Li Zhaozhao was like a cute little otter, lazily hanging on An Dongjun. As soon as she opened her autumn eyes, she found An Dongjun looking at her with a smile.

Thinking of the madness of the two last night and their frankness now, a blush appeared on her beautiful face, emitting a charming glow, and she shyly buried her head in Anton Jun's arms.

Anton Jun had woken up a long time ago, but when he looked down, he felt that the sleeping Li Zhaozhao was very cute and charming, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting up.

So, I just kept looking at her quietly, feeling the frequency of her breathing.

Until now when she woke up and saw her shy look, she thought about how she was crying yesterday, but she gently touched her face and asked herself if it hurt. She couldn't help but teased:

"Wife, I suddenly feel that you are such a contradictory person, sometimes domineering, sometimes shy, sometimes indifferent, and sometimes passionate.

You've seen and done everything last night, but you're only starting to feel shy now that you see me."

Li Zhaozhao raised her head and stared into his eyes seriously, her face shining. She pouted and asked, "Why? Now that you have me, you don't like me anymore?"

Anton Jun smiled dumbly and said, "I like it!"

The two of them snuggled together for a while, then felt it was getting late so they got up. Not to mention that their brother-in-law and his family had arrived, Feng Xiang also had official business to attend to.

Next, my brother-in-law and Nian Ling stayed in Fengxiang for a few days and then returned to Tubo. Everything returned to normal. Time passed quietly, and the first month of the year was about to begin.

……

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Anton Jun has been much more obedient. In order to prove his determination, he gave his two natal swords to Li Zhaozhao and Miao Luantong respectively.

The two men were terrified at that time and begged Anton to take it back, but he refused.

Fearing that he would die, they fed him nutritious food every day. After that, he stayed in Fengxiang and returned to his previous life.

Anle was sent to the west by him. He wanted to bring back some food and ingredients that were only available in other continents, especially high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

By the way, record the places you have visited so that it will be convenient to take them to travel around in the future.

Because of this, Anle doesn’t have to do much, so Anton-kun only needs to devote a little energy there.

And now the defense of Qi is not as busy defending other countries' affairs as before. After all, the two countries of Jin and Liang are still in a mess because of his manipulation.

Let’s talk about the State of Jin first. After Li Keyong came out of seclusion, he discovered Li Siyuan’s outrageous behavior, scolded him, deprived him of some of his power, and then continued to seclude himself. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be his last seclusion.

Zhu Yougui in Liang State suffered great harm to his young heart because of Zhu Wen's increasing difficulties. There were frequent reports that ministers who supported Zhu Wen in the Liang court were dying one after another, which seemed to indicate that the time for him to usurp the throne was approaching.

The State of Qi robbed more than 120 million silver from the two countries last time because of Lord Andong. Although Li Zhaozhao said at the time that it was not as important as Lord Andong, it was still a considerable fortune.

This time, they received one-tenth of the annual tax revenue of the middle period of the Tang Dynasty. It must be said that they were really happy.

With the wealth accumulated over the past three years, Qi State’s finances have improved a lot, both in terms of daily expenses and national defense.

"The Yang energy rises at the winter solstice, and the emperor's reign is long, so congratulations are given." - "Book of Han"

During the winter solstice, the cold weather makes everything seem frozen in the tranquility of winter.

It also marks the beginning of the revival of Yang energy, heralding the arrival of hope and vitality in the new year.

On a cold winter morning, there was a sense of tranquility in the air.

Countless tiny snowflakes danced in the wind, like a group of white elves playing in the air, falling from the sky and forming a white snow blanket between the sky and the earth.

The whole world seems to be surrounded by this white flying, as if entering a dreamy fairy tale world.

Li Zhaozhao took Anton Jun's arm and walked slowly on the corridor of Huanyinfang. It was a rare day off for the two of them to have time for a walk.

During these days, Anton-jun has been staying in Fengxiang and spending time with the two girls to develop their relationship. Facts have proved that everything is going well.

But something was strange to the empress. If she had to say anything, it was that Anton was a little too good to her, obeying her in everything, even a little doting on her?

"Old man, when are you going to bring Master to Fengxiang?"

Ever since An Dongjun mentioned the idea of ​​inviting Yang Shuzi to live in Fengxiang, Li Zhaozhao has been thinking about it.

He seemed even more anxious than Anton himself, asking questions every now and then.

Because in her memory, Yang Shuzi was really nice to Anton Jun.

"It's not time yet. It will be almost time when my fellow apprentices come down the mountain. Why don't I take you to Jianlu on New Year's Eve this year? Master has also wanted to meet you for a long time."

As expected, Li Zhaozhao was just a paper tiger. He kept talking about wanting to meet Yang Shuzi, but when he heard about the actual battle, he immediately became timid, his cheeks slightly red, and he whispered:

"Ah? Qiguo has a lot of affairs to deal with. How about you take your sister to see the master first?"

Anton Jun saw through her thoughts at a glance. Why did she have so many things to do during her rest period?

I'm afraid Li Zhaozhao wanted Miao Luantong to test the waters first, and after finding out Yang Shuzi's preferences, he would make sufficient preparations and solve the matter in one go.

He reached out and held Li Zhaozhao's cold little hand, covered it with both hands, blew hot air on it with his mouth, and teased, "Wife, your hands have suddenly become so cold."

“That’s frozen!”

"Oh~ If you do this, aren't you afraid that my master will have a preconceived opinion and like Tong'er more in the future?"

Li Zhaozhao smiled and said stubbornly, "Don't be afraid! This is the confidence from the Empress of Huanyinfang!"

"Really? Your Majesty is so confident, but why did you act so coy just now?"

Anton pulled her into his arms, widened his eyes, made an exaggerated expression and teased her.

"Hmph! I'm leaving!"

After being exposed by Anton Jun, Li Zhaozhao was ashamed and angry, and then she tried to break free from his arms. But how could Anton Jun let her do as she wished and let her go so easily?

Looking at Li Zhaozhao, who is usually aloof and extremely cold towards outsiders, at this moment he behaves like a child in a way that is completely different from the rumors outside.

She looked so adorable that he couldn't control himself and kissed her again.

"Woo~"

Li Zhaozhao's lips were blocked, so she could only whimper. She pushed him away in shock, her pretty face flushed: "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, isn't it..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back because she just looked around and found that there was no one around, and her shyness disappeared all of a sudden.

So she also put her arms around Anton Jun's neck and gently tasted his lips, as if Anton Jun had just taken advantage of her and now she wanted to take it back.

Then she looked at him with a triumphant expression, a smile on her lips, as if she was the one who was taking advantage. (?＞?＜?)

"Mainly because I believe my old man wouldn't do that!"

Seeing her like this, Anton Jun felt his blood boiling. He quickly suppressed his primordial strength and hugged her.

After a long time, Anton whispered in her ear:

"Then I will leave early and stay in Jianlu for a few days. After staying up all night on New Year's Eve, I will try to come back to accompany you on the first day of the first lunar month!"

"Well! Then let me pick something for you to take back!"

……

(Baidu: There was no such thing as "Spring Festival" in the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty only had the lunar calendar. The first day of the new year was called "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day" or "Yuan Zheng" in the Tang Dynasty.

And there was a "Golden Week" at that time: Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's "Jia Ning Order" - "On New Year's Day and Winter Solstice, seven days of leave will be granted each." So the two would take a break and take a walk.

There are seven days in total, namely New Year’s Eve and the three days before it, and the first day (also known as Yuanzheng), the second day, and the third day of the new year.

The current seven-day Spring Festival holiday is generally believed to have started in the Tang Dynasty. This is the most common and reliable statement I have found.)
