Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

He actually confessed his guilt voluntarily.

"Oh? What crime have you committed?" The Queen's eyes drifted a little from the book in her hand, and in just a moment, she also put great pressure on him.

But since Xiao Zhengdu dared to do it, he was not afraid. He was able to survive the fight for the throne, so he could naturally figure out the Queen's thoughts.

Being too obedient is not a good thing.

Although he thought so, Xiao Zhengdu put on a show of poise, with a bitter face at the corner of his mouth, "I have broken the palace rules and disturbed the peace of Miss Guogong Lou... Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he kowtowed again, seeming to be admitting his guilt with a very good attitude.

The queen continued to look at the book in her hand without saying anything. She snorted and said, "Punishment? It should be..."

He is not the only one who should be punished.

She also knew why Xiao Zhengdu went there.

"I will spare you this time. You guys made such a big noise that the bed was broken." The Queen said jokingly, looking at him leisurely.

"Get up. With her temper, I think you didn't get any good results. Are you hurt?"

Xiao Zhengdu stood up with a smile on his face, and complained in a fake voice, "Your Majesty, she hit me really hard. The bed board is not my fault. It was her palm that hit me..."

He gestured to the Queen, "It's so close to my face. It would ruin my beauty!"

After saying that, he sighed, "No wonder His Majesty favors her. Miss Lou is quite powerful. I can't beat her."

The queen raised her lips, put the manual on the small table beside her, and said with a relaxed expression, "It's right that you can't win."

Xiao Zhengdu blinked his eyes. Although he was not proficient in martial arts, he had been taught by a martial arts master in the palace. Where did this Miss Lou come from?

To put it nicely, he couldn't beat him, but he knew very well that the other party was just playing around.

It's like an adult teasing a child, nonchalantly, just barely giving the child face.

"She has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and she studied under a famous master. You have only learned for a few years? How can you be her match?" The Queen's eyes were filled with pride as if she was praising her own junior, which made Xiao Zhengdu even more convinced of the degree of favor of this Miss Lou.

"I'm really envious of you. I wonder which master you are? I also hoped to learn from a master to defend my country, but I'm not good enough and I'm far behind Miss Lou."

He looked regretful, and he didn't really want to know which "famous person" it was, but he was in a gloomy mood when his past was mentioned.

When Xiao Zhengdu was young, he was not favored in the palace. Not to mention learning martial arts, even his food and clothing were withheld. How could he get a good education?

It's not that he was not good at learning. When he was young, he looked very different and was bullied. No one dared to teach him sincerely.

In order to protect himself, he cannot be too outstanding in front of the royal children who are older than him and more favored.

If Her Majesty, who was still a princess at the time, had not felt sorry for him and severely punished the palace servants who dared to withhold the prince's expenses, how could the boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole grow into his tall appearance today?

"Her situation is unmatched. Talent is indispensable. It is useless for you to envy her." Perhaps she remembered how pitiful Xiao Zhengdu was when he was young, so the empress comforted him.

"There are only a handful of people in this world who can compare to her. Don't underestimate yourself and lose yourself."

Xiao Zhengdu nodded and answered obediently, "I understand."

"The Ministry of Rites is so busy and in need of people. Since you are so free, why do you still have time to tease people..." The Queen looked at him sideways.

Xiao Zhengdu's ears turned red, and he lowered his head again, feeling very embarrassed.

"Why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites to help? I'll feel more at ease with you there."

What is the Ministry of Rites busy with now?

"Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, so it's only natural that the Ministry of Rites is busy. But Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites and I don't get along. If I go, he will be so angry that I will die. If I delay Your Majesty's birthday, I will be blamed for it!"

Xiao Zhengdu openly made things difficult for the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites was an old, old-fashioned and stubborn man who couldn't stand this royal son of a foreign race.

When the Empress fought for the throne, he stood on the wrong side just like the former Duke of Zhenguo. However, he survived, and it was also because of the Empress's kindness that she did not let the old man follow his master into the imperial mausoleum.

"You are already an old man in your seventies, so take it easy." The Queen smiled, "Just stop arguing with him."

"Hehe," Xiao Zhengdu said with a smile, "I will try my best not to argue with an old stubborn man like him. If he comes to you and says that I am not right, Your Majesty, you must speak for me."

He acted like a naughty brother and sister, and the Queen agreed to his request and asked the servant Ling Yu to take him back to have a good rest and not to provoke Lou Xiao again.

"If you displease her and your limbs are broken, don't come crying in front of me," said the Queen.

Xiao Zhengdu repeatedly stressed that he would not make the same mistake again, and left happily after getting a job. The Queen picked up the manual on the small table, and her smile faded.

It was not until Officer Ling Yu came back that she threw down the book in her hand.

"It seems that the first 10,000-year anniversary after my accession to the throne will not be peaceful. How long will it take for him to come back? I deliberately made him avoid meeting Xiao Xiao, but he was still able to order King Youshan around?"

The "he" mentioned here is naturally not Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu.

"The journey is long, and he should be able to return to the capital on his birthday... Your Majesty loves him, and since you know his thoughts, why not fulfill his wish..."

Ling Yu smiled along, lowered his head as he spoke, and immediately knelt down under the empress's cold gaze, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was too talkative!"

"Excuse me, stand up and answer," the queen sighed, "It's not that I don't tolerate him, he and Xiaoxiao... are really not the same kind of people."

The two of them have very different personalities, and when they confront each other, things may not go as he wishes.

And now she knows nothing...

"Ji Heng is his capable assistant. She can escape death penalty but cannot escape punishment for being disrespectful to Prince Youshan. Let her go to the palace's ceremonial supervisor to answer for her crime."

The queen turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the window. The crescent moon was hanging high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling. "If we are careless, King Youshan will not be able to escape unscathed today. He is really daring."

Talking about the other party's guilt, but actually having no intention of punishing him, Ling Yu could only praise Lou Xiao.

"Miss Lou is very skilled. The tables and chairs in the bedroom are in disarray, but King Youshan was not injured. I think she held back."

At this point, the Queen glanced at him and said, "You fought against her many years ago. Do you have a chance of winning now?"

As the senior sister, the Queen once asked Ling Yu, a close servant from the Wu family, to "play" with the junior sister. Now several years have passed.

She herself was vague about her junior sister's specific situation, so it depends on how Ling Yu evaluates it.

The wrinkles on Ling Yu's face deepened, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know. Miss Lou is no longer someone I can spy on. I only know that she is very strong."

The Queen saw through his modesty at a glance and snorted, "If she wasn't strong...why would I let her come to the capital."
