"Your Majesty, Minister Li requests an audience."

Chi Tianlin put down the memorial in his hand, frowned and said, "What is he doing here? I haven't settled accounts with him yet, but he still has the nerve to see me."

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "It must be because of the Queen's matter."

Speaking of Li Yaoyao, Chi Tianlin's heart softened, and he became even more dissatisfied with Li Shangshu. "Forget it, let him in, I want to listen to what he wants to say."

Minister Li paced back and forth in front of the imperial study room nervously. Thinking of his wife's crying, he felt a little scared. Would Li Yaoyao really take action against him as her father if she became the queen? No matter how badly he treated her, he was still her father.

"Minister Li, the Emperor lets you in."

Mo Yan's voice interrupted Minister Li's thoughts. He forced a smile, nodded and walked in.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty"

Chi Tianlin did not shout, but just observed Minister Li.

She sneered in her heart, this Minister Li didn't look like a good guy, with shifty eyes. Yao'er must be very much like her mother.

"I heard that Minister Li wants to see me? What's the matter?"

Minister Li's heart skipped a beat. Chi Tianlin's tone was really not good.

"Your Majesty, I would like to give you some advice. Please think twice. This is a major national event. Li Yaoyao grew up in the countryside and is a vulgar person. She is really not worthy of being the mother of a country."

Chi Tianlin suppressed his anger, raised his thin lips and sneered, "Oh? Then Minister Li, tell me, who is suitable to be the queen?"

Minister Li felt a little insecure, but thinking of his beloved daughter, he gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter Li Xiangxiang, I have always attached great importance to Xiangxiang's etiquette and rules. Xiangxiang is more suitable to be the queen than Li Yaoyao."

Chi Tianlin was so angry at this Minister Li that he laughed. He looked at him as if he were a clown. "Minister Li, don't you think that only your daughter can be the queen?"

"Even if Yao'er doesn't become the queen, it won't be Li Xiangxiang's turn to be the queen."

Minister Li shuddered all over. He had neglected this point because of his wife's fuss, and he felt secretly annoyed.

"Hey, isn't this Minister Li? It's been a long time since we last met."

Li Yaoyao's voice came from outside the door.

Chi Tianlin stood up and walked forward a few steps, supporting Li Yaoyao who walked quickly into the door.

"Yao'er, why are you here? Be careful, you are pregnant."

Li Yaoyao smiled, shook her head and said, "Yao'er is fine. I heard that my father came to see the emperor, so Yao'er wanted to come and take a look."

"I didn't expect my father to give Yaoer such a big surprise."

Minister Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the beautiful and elegant Li Yaoyao in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was the daughter he didn't care about.

Didn’t Madam say that Li Yaoyao is ugly and cannot be accepted in a formal place?

Li Yaoyao saw the shock on Li Shangshu's face and sneered, "Why? Did your wife say that I am not good in every way? You are really stupid."

Minister Li had a stern face and wanted to scold Li Yaoyao, but when the emperor glared at him with a murderous look, he dared not say anything.

"Yao'er, don't get yourself hurt because of others."

After Chi Tianlin finished speaking, he looked down at Li Shangshu who had been kneeling on the ground and said, "Li Shangshu is really confused. It seems that I should consider whether the position of Shangshu should be replaced."

"Go back"

Minister Li suddenly felt relieved and finally understood how much the emperor was protecting Li Yaoyao.

Chi Tianlin took Li Yaoyao's hand, asked her to sit on the chair and said, "Who is so talkative? Minister Li told you when he first arrived."

Li Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "I know someone told me this on purpose, but I really wanted to see what Minister Li was going to do. I didn't expect that he would do what I expected."

Chi Tianlin narrowed his eyes and said to Mo Yan, "Go check and see who is so nosy."

"Yes." Mo Yan curled his lips. Who else could it be? There was only one imperial concubine left in the palace. It must have been arranged by this imperial concubine.

Chi Tianlin also remembered this, scratched his nose awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, Yao'er, I will deal with the concubine after I deal with her father."

Li Yaoyao shook her head and sighed, "Your Majesty, since Dong Ming came back, you have made drastic changes to the court. The concubines who should be dismissed have been dismissed, and those who should be dealt with have been dealt with. I am a little worried that there may be unruly ministers who are dissatisfied."

Since Chi Tianlin dared to do this, he must be fully confident. In the beginning, he valued some ministers too much, which led to him being led by them often.

Now that the military power is in his hands, he will certainly not let go of those who attempt to use the old tactics against him.

"Don't worry, Yao'er, they don't dare"

"Has the imperial physician examined your pulse today?"

Li Yaoyao nodded, looked at her belly lovingly and said, "I checked it, the doctor said I'm fine."

Chi Tianlin is becoming more and more satisfied with Li Yaoyao. Not only is she smart, but she is also not spoiled because of her favor. She knows what she should and should not do.

Chi Tianlin didn't even realize how dotingly he looked at Li Yaoyao.

Mo Yan, who served Chi Tianlin every day, saw it clearly.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed and Li Yaoyao's belly had become slightly bulging. It could be said that the baby in her belly came at the right time.

On the way back to Xueling from Dongming, Chi Tianlin always asked her to live with him. She had not made up her mind to become the queen of Xueling at that time, so she made an excuse, saying that she was on the way back to Xueling, and if she could get pregnant, then she would agree to be the queen.

Chi Tianlin worked hard for this for many days, but who would have thought that just two days after returning to the palace, the imperial physician diagnosed her with pregnancy.

Just because the fetus is not very stable, the imperial physician does not recommend holding the ceremony of crowning the queen at this time.

According to Chi Tianlin, the imperial edict should be announced first, and then the ceremony of conferring the title of queen should be held after the child is born.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoyao gently stroked her belly and said with a smile, "Little bastard, you have made the decision for your mother."

"Yao'er"

Chi Tianlin ran to Yuning Palace as soon as he finished the morning court with a happy look on his face.

"Your Majesty, what good news has happened to you?"

Chi Tianlin took a sip of tea, paused and said, "Your father divorced Yuan."

"Huh?" Li Yaoyao was a little surprised and asked, "Why? Hasn't he always doted on Yuan? How could he bear to divorce her?"

Chi Tianlin said with some disdain, "That Yuan is not an honest person. She was caught in collusion with your father's cronies."

Li Yaoyao looked at Chi Tianlin meaningfully and said, "If my guess is correct, the emperor must have done something wrong."

Chi Tianlin laughed, touched Li Yaoyao's belly and said, "Who made her upset Yao'er?"

"But your father didn't just divorce her."

"He beat her half to death before divorcing her."

"And that Li Xiangxiang, your father just married her to a butcher."

"Yao'er, now that the imperial concubine has been dismissed from the palace, do you still like me at all?"

Li Yaoyao's cheeks flushed and she didn't dare to look Chi Tianlin in the eye.

But Chi Tianlin insisted, "Good Yao'er, just tell me the truth, what should I do to make you believe that I really like you?"

Mo Yan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, ran in and said angrily, "My emperor, can't you see that the queen has liked you for a long time? Otherwise, why would she be willing to bear a child for you?"

Chi Tianlin's eyes lit up visibly, and he held Li Yaoyao's hand with trembling hands and said, "Is what Mo Yan said true?"

Li Yaoyao nodded with amusement.

She had been betting that Chi Tianlin would fall in love with her, and it seemed that she had won. She would always be with Chi Tianlin, accompanying him to watch the vast mountains and rivers, and their children, and would be with him too.
