The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

I wanted to scold him, but then I thought...

As the son of a concubine, Li Jihuan inherited his brother Li Jize's Beiliang Wolf Cavalry, and became a little complacent!

Secondly, he had never been to the court and didn't know the ins and outs of the water there. It wasn't his fault that he was taught a lesson by the Prime Minister the first time he stepped forward.

can only say……

Young and ignorant!

Li Jin sighed and shook his head, "Forget it! When the time comes, Dad will help you mobilize some connections and see if you can get His Majesty to change his mind."

Li Jihuan was stunned. He finally asked in a low voice, "Father, what if...what if His Majesty doesn't want to be the emperor?"

Li Jin turned around and glared, then clenched his fists and sighed, "A clay pot will break if it's kept close to the well, and a general will inevitably die on the battlefield! For the court and for His Majesty, dying on the battlefield is the greatest honor for a soldier!"

Li Jihuan: “…”

For a moment, his face turned pale. The weather outside was cold, and his heart was even colder!

……

The wind and snow outside were still blowing fiercely.

Li family!

As the first family of nobility, although it was freezing and snowy outside, it was unusually warm inside the house.

There were braziers carried up by servants everywhere, and the charcoal fire inside was burning with crackling sounds.

Madam Huang Suqiu, concubine Chen Anran, and old lady Li from the Li family sat at a table with a lot of dried fruits.

They are generally walnuts, hazelnuts, melon seeds, peanuts and the like.

The concubine Chen Anran was cracking melon seeds and looking at Huang Suqiu who was staring out the window with great worry. She pursed her lips with a look of disdain.

Old Lady Li asked, "Suqiu, why are you so impatient?"

Huang Suqiu sighed, looked at Old Lady Li, and said helplessly, "Mother-in-law, His Majesty suddenly called a meeting late at night this time. I'm really afraid..."

"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of?"

Old Lady Li didn't understand.

Huang Suqiu sighed and said helplessly: "Before, Ji Ze also went out and came back... Mother-in-law, you also know what happened. I'm really worried that something will happen to Brother Jin and Ji Huan!"

This sentence hit Old Lady Li's soft spot directly. She froze on the spot and subconsciously looked towards the corner of the room...

From beginning to end, the eldest grandson Li Jize sat there cutting wood, silent and not saying a word.

He really looks like a fool!

"What did you say?"

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chen Anran, who had been eating melon seeds, interrupted in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty called an emergency court meeting and summoned Jin Ge and Huan Er. Could it be the same as the time with Li Jize?"

Having said that, she tossed a piece of melon seed shell with a smug look on her face, glanced at Li Jize and sneered, "My Ji Huan was personally appointed general by His Majesty, and was immediately entrusted with the important task of garrisoning the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry in the capital! Mother-in-law, think about it! The capital is under the feet of the emperor, and His Majesty asked Ji Huan to garrison here. What does this mean? His Majesty has entrusted his own safety to Ji Huan! This is a great favor."

Old Lady Li's horizons were truly broadened by these words. She nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! His Majesty is very gracious to our Ji Huan! I believe that summoning him late at night must mean that there is something important to discuss. This also shows his respect for our Li family! Suqiu, you're overthinking it. It's okay! It's okay!"

Unexpectedly...

Huang Suqiu looked at Chen Anran's boastful expression, her face cold, and she said lightly: "What was my Ji Ze like before? General Tiance! The only king of a different surname in the current dynasty, and also the emperor's fiancé. But what happened in the end?"

These words made Old Lady Li's body stiffen, and Chen Anran's smile also froze on her face.

Chen Anran was furious and was about to find something to refute, but she didn't expect someone to be quicker than her.

"Shut up! A son should not speak of his father's faults, and a minister should not expose his king's faults! Your Majesty is not allowed to gossip about his actions!"

A familiar voice sounded, and the whole family turned around and saw General Li Jin and his youngest son Li Jihuan coming in.

Li Jin had a cold and sour face, and was obviously very dissatisfied with his wife Huang Suqiu's behavior of criticizing the empress just now.

Chen Anran was overjoyed and hurried forward to greet the father and son, "Brother Jin, Ji Huan, you're back!"

Speaking of which...

She turned her head again, looked at Huang Suqiu, and said sarcastically, "Sister! What you just said can only be said at home. But you have to be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall! I heard that the East Factory has a lot of spies. Your son Li Jize is already in trouble. You don't want to implicate our family again, right?"

"you……"

Huang Suqiu's face turned red after being hit by her, but because her husband said "A minister should not expose the king's faults", she knew she was in the wrong and dared not say a word.

but……

puff!

The sudden and abrupt laughter startled the whole family, and everyone looked over.

What puzzled them was...

The person who laughed was none other than Li Jize, who was carving wood next to them!

Chen Anran was a little annoyed. She shouted in a bad mood, "Hey, idiot! What are you laughing at?"

The word "fool" caused dissatisfaction among Huang Suqiu and Wang Yuanya, who was sitting nearby pretending to be a lady embroidering.

Although Wang Yuanya also calls herself this, Li Jize is her nominal husband after all, right?

I feel disgusted when others call me that!

Li Jize was not angry either. He replied inexplicably, "Oh! I just thought of something funny."

"Funny thing?"

Chen Anran was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "What's so funny? So silly."

"There was a fool who saw the ugliness of the world and was fooled into thinking that if he stopped looking, he wouldn't find it ugly anymore! So, he dug out his own eyeballs. Isn't that stupid?"

In just one sentence, the Li family means you look at me and I look at you.

Chen Anran rolled her eyes, looking hopeless. She then grumbled unhappily, "What a fool! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Too lazy to play with a fool, Chen Anran looked at her hope, her most beloved son Li Jihuan.

Immediately, with a show-off look, he took his son's hand and asked lovingly, "Ji Huan, how do you feel about attending your first court meeting today? Did His Majesty give you any rewards? Did the court praise you?"

Hearing this, Li Jihuan sighed and said, "Yes! Your Majesty has appointed me as the Governor-General of the Central Plains, and I can mobilize all the troops in the Central Plains!"

Say it in one word...

Except for Chen Anran who looked extremely happy, everyone else in the room frowned.

Especially Li Jize and Wang Yuanya, the expressions on their faces were as weird as they could be.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that, mother-in-law? I told you, His Majesty dotes on my Ji Huan the most! He's now the Governor-General of the Central Plains, able to mobilize all the troops in the Central Plains. How high is that position? How prestigious is it?"

Chen Anran was still showing off.

result……

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As he was talking, his son Li Jihuan's face turned pale, his mouth clenched, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

I'm going to die! Oh my god!

This is not a promotion, this is going to die!
