The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

Li Rongdun thought that this move was a way to take advantage of the situation and give Yang Paner a chance to get close to the young man with slicked-back hair and powdered face.

However, Yang Pan'er just raised her hand slightly and said to Li Yujun from a distance: "In that case, please stand up first, General Li."

Li Rongdun frowned. When Li Yujun beside him heard what Yang Paner said, he was about to straighten himself up, but Li Rongdun put his hands on his shoulders, causing Li Yujun to still bend his body and make a gesture of clasping his hands and holding his fists.

Li Rongdun stared at Yang Pan'er at this time and said, "Your Highness, Li Yujun will become your closest person from now on."

"As the saying goes, if you look up, you may not see it, but if you look down, you will see it. Your Highness, this is a bit too arrogant. Please set an example."

As he spoke, the officials behind Li Rongdun bowed in unison and said, "Your Highness, please follow your example!"

Yang Pan'er immediately understood that Li Rongdun wanted to help Li Yujun up personally, but she was a little resistant.

To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, the only man she had ever met was Han Zhuo.

Even with her deceased husband Han Jie, they had never had any intimate contact.

Therefore, Yang Pan'er had gradually become accustomed to Han Zhuo's presence, and when she was with Han Zhuo, it seemed as if there were no boundaries between them.

But when she meets outsiders, Yang Pan'er will appear very resistant.

Just as Yang Pan'er hesitated, Li Rongdun and the officials behind him spoke in unison once again: "Your Highness, please lead by example!"

Yang Pan'er had no choice but to suppress her inner discomfort, stood up from the chair, then walked around the table and came to Li Yujun step by step.

Yang Paner's hand had slowly reached out, but when she was about to hold Li Yujun's arm, she naturally retracted it.

At this time, Yang Pan'er did something that no one present expected. She actually picked up the ruler from the table, used it to replace her own hand, and then lifted up Li Yujun's arm.

At this moment, Yang Paner's action caught the eyes of Li Rongdun and others, and they couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and a little ambiguity.

Everyone had the same thought in their minds: Oh, it turns out that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess likes to play like this. It seems that Li Yujun will have endless good fortune in the future.

However, Li Rongdun was being too arrogant. He was dissatisfied with Yang Paner using a ruler to lift his grandson's hand. He felt that this was disrespectful to his grandson and that it was like a superior playing with a toy.

But in Li Rongdun's view, Yang Pan'er was just a princess from the common people.

She knows nothing and has no one to back her up.

To put it bluntly, he is just a tool. Why does he have the right to use such tricks in front of me and my grandson?

So, Li Rongdun actually snatched the ruler directly from Yang Paner's hand.

Then, he put on a condescending and aggressive tone and said, "Your Highness, please be serious. The commander of the Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army is at least a fourth-rank official. Your Highness, please follow your example!"

"Your Highness, please lead by example!"

The officials behind Li Rongdun spoke in unison again.

At this moment, Li Rongdun could be said to have exerted all the pressure he felt as prime minister on Yang Paner.

How could Yang Pan'er, a young widow from the market with no support, face the coercion of such a large group of officials?

Her fingers, as slender as jade onions, tightened involuntarily and clenched into fists.

At this moment, for some reason, a thought involuntarily emerged in Yang Paner's mind.

She called out in her mind: "Erlang Erlang, where are you? Come and help me."

She didn't know if it was God's mercy on Yang Pan'er, but just as this thought flashed through her mind, Han Zhuo's naive yet resonant voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Are you all putting on a show here?"

The moment Yang Pan'er heard the familiar voice, she immediately put down her hand that had just been raised and turned to look towards the door.

All I saw was Han Zhuo's tall, strong, sturdy and majestic body striding in.

Although Han Zhuo had a silly smile on his face in the eyes of everyone, in Yang Pan'er's eyes, Han Zhuo's smile was so kind that it also warmed her cold heart again.

Han Zhuo came directly in front of Yang Pan'er. When passing by a group of ministers, Han Zhuo didn't even take a detour. It was as if he treated these officials arranged in neat rows as weeds on the ground, and he casually reached out and picked them up.

Han Zhuo came up to Yang Pan'er and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, this place is really big. It took me a while to find it."

Even though Yang Pan'er now has the status of the Crown Princess, for some reason, Yang Pan'er just likes Han Zhuo to call her that.

Just like drinking a bowl of ginger soup in the cold winter, it will warm your heart directly.

Yang Pan'er was touched by Han Zhuo's sudden appearance and smiled at him. This smile was like a spring breeze, making everyone around her stare at him involuntarily.

In the past two days, they had never seen the Crown Princess smile so brilliantly. She was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy, not of this mortal world.

Yang Pan'er said to Han Zhuo, "Erlang, why are you here?"

Han Zhuo seemed to have just remembered something and patted his strong chest.

Because the force is quite strong, it makes a "bang bang" sound, telling everyone how strong his chest is.

Han Zhuo said to Yang Pan'er and everyone present, "Sister-in-law, the third boy from the Murong family told me that our Eastern Palace is going to recruit a group of Eastern Palace Divine Warriors."

"I thought to myself, since I live in the East Palace anyway, why not let me lead the East Palace Divine Martial Army?"

As Han Zhuo spoke, he also raised his fist. The hard muscles caught Yang Paner's eyes, making her feel a little hot.

Han Zhuo said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will train these guys well and will never let any cats, dogs, chickens or ducks fly into the East Palace!"

As soon as Han Zhuo finished speaking, Yang Pan'er subconsciously agreed.

She just opened her mouth and said, "Okay..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Rongdun shouted, "Absurd! The position of commander of the Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army has always been held by the most capable. How could such a person of questionable character be allowed to hold the position?"

Li Rongdun was a prime minister who had assisted two generations of emperors. Even the emperor was polite to him.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone around him fell silent.

Han Zhuo then leaned forward with his big face in front of Li Rongdun and said, "Hey, old man, who are you? You're talking so loud!"

Li Rongdun snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and raised his face at a forty-five-degree angle.

He glanced at Han Zhuo with contempt and said arrogantly, "I am honored by the kindness of the late Emperor and the Emperor, who have bestowed upon me the title of Duke. Now, I am honored to be the Minister of Revenue..."

Before Li Rongdun could finish his words, Han Zhuo retorted, "Oh, you're the accountant!"

As soon as Han Zhuo said this, Li Rongdun's endless chatter was immediately choked!
