Sansei

After coaxing Xiao Pai to sleep, Li Qin got off the bed with hands and feet, picked up the dragon robe and threw it on his body before going out.

After leaving the Jiangyun Hall, Li Qin used his inner strength to transmit a sound to the hidden guard, "General Xuanqiu is coming to Xingyun Pavilion!"

"Obey!" One of Xi's hidden guards in the forest bowed his head and responded.

Lingxiao Palace, the emperor's main bedroom, only the closest people can enter and leave. In today's world, apart from the emperor and empress, there are only six people, Prince Gong, Princess Ai'er, Prime Minister Xiaozhuan, Xiaoqiu, Xiaobao, and Xiaozhen. into this palace.

"My humble minister will see the emperor, long live my emperor." After a while, the little ball arrived.

"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Li Qin stood by the window looking up at the crescent moon, with his back to the ball, with indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty's orders are for your ministers." After getting up, Xiao Qiu didn't sit on the chair, but came to stand behind Li Qin, ten steps away.

"There were some rumors in the palace before, and I knew it was your prank." Li Qin said lightly.

"Yes, I will not hide the truth from the emperor, and I will definitely not hide it from the emperor." Xiao Qiu said respectfully, "The minister is just doing his best to complete what the emperor ordered before, so as not to let others have wrong thoughts about the emperor and the empress."

"Well, very good." At this moment, Li Qin turned around to face the little ball, with an unintentional arrogance exuding from his body, "I called you here this time, and I also have a task for you."

Xiaoqiu nodded and clenched his fist, "It is my honor to be able to serve the emperor."

"I have a little misunderstanding with Xiao Pai here tonight. I don't want anyone outside the scene to know the cause of the incident, and I don't want to hear any rumors that are not good for Xiao Pai. The method is up to you, but tomorrow I will decree to canonize her as queen , it’s best not to cause more trouble.”

"Wei Chen leads the order." Xiao Qiu was about to leave after receiving the order, but was called back by Li Qin.

"Wait, there is one more thing." Li Qin took a few steps forward, hugged the little ball like a brother, his eyes were full of helplessness, and his tone became soft, "Qiao, sometimes I feel quite lonely. Don't alienate me anymore, okay? I'm still your former brother, or your boss, even if I'm also your sect master. When there are no other people, we don't need so much courtesy, just get along as before !"

"we"?Xiaoqiu smiled gratifiedly, "Sure enough, I didn't misread you, boss!"

Li Qin passed the little ball, stood by the door of the Xingyun Pavilion, and sighed heavily, "Many times, many things are not my will, but I have to do that, even if I am extremely unwilling."

"Yes, the king of a country has the supreme power that everyone yearns for, but the burden is not something ordinary people can bear. Boss, we also know that you have worked hard, and we will always be loyal to you." Xiaoqiu walked over, Standing beside Li Qin, looking in the same direction as Li Qin.

"I know, I really know, we are good brothers who will never leave each other." Li Qin suddenly turned around and said to Xiaoqiu very seriously, "Qiuzi, just in case, I mean just in case. In case I suddenly I'm gone, and you can't find me. You must take good care of Xiao Pai for me, and don't let anyone hurt her. If she can take good care of the country for me, you will help her with all your strength. If she wants to retire Jianghu, then hand over all six doors to her."

"Boss...you...what are you talking about? Why are you saying this all of a sudden, you are fine! Or...or is there something wrong with you? I'm going to ask Miracle Doctor Su!" Xiao Qiu was obviously frightened by Li Qin's words, turned around and was about to leave .

Li Qin grabbed the ball that was about to rush out, "No, there is no need to be nervous about the ball. I'm just saying it's just in case. I'm very uneasy these days. Besides, in life, accidents are always inevitable, especially in high positions. My, isn't it?"

"What the emperor said is reasonable, but... I beg the emperor to take care of the dragon body, no matter at any moment." Xiaoqiu stared at Li Qin firmly, forcing Li Qin to agree with his eyes.

Li Qin shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I know!" Then a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I told you just now, don't forget, otherwise it will be regarded as disobedience!..."

Xiaoqiu immediately opened her mouth wide, her jaw almost fell to the ground, she stared blankly at her, very speechless.

The next day, Li Qin got up half an hour earlier than usual. In name, he went to the imperial study to review the memorials that he hadn't finished reading last night, but in fact he was eavesdropping on the chats between eunuchs and maids.

"Besides, the current memorials are all reviewed by His Majesty and Your Majesty together, and she is also allowed to go up and listen. I have complete trust in Your Majesty!"

"That's right, haven't you seen that the emperor and the empress are almost inseparable? When I passed the imperial garden that time, I saw the emperor and the empress getting intimate! The emperor's appearance at that time was so affectionate. With his handsome appearance, the empress was so happy." ah!"

"Basically, as long as it is proposed by the empress, His Majesty seems to have never refused. In what dynasty do you think the concubines can get such treatment?"

"That's right! I heard from the maids in Qinying Palace that the emperor and the empress call each other's names, and they don't shy away from it at all. The emperor is still enjoying it!"

"It seems that there is such a thing. I heard that His Majesty coerced and lured the empress not to have too much trouble with him."

The content of their chat was nothing more than that Li Qin allowed Xiao Pai to transfer people in the High Heaven Palace at will without asking for instructions, which won the trust and favor of the emperor, and that the emperor only allowed her to sleep in the High Heaven Palace alone.

The first part was okay, but the latter part made Li Qin confused, "Did I say that? Although it is true...it seems to mean that. Yes, the efficiency of the ball is really high enough!"

Li Qin looked up, "It's almost time, it's time to go back and have breakfast with Xiao Paipai!"

As soon as Li Qin returned to the dormitory of Jiangyun Palace, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman changing clothes. As soon as his nose became hot, a little bit of bright red flowed out like this. He didn't realize it at all, and he looked at it stupidly, motionless.

The maids who were waiting for Xiao Pai to change clothes didn't rush to salute, but when they saw the majestic emperor's dumbfounded look, they couldn't help covering their mouths and holding back their smiles. Li Qin wiped away the nosebleed, and scolded, "Qin'er, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Then he said quietly, "Don't have spring early in the morning, it's not good for your health!"

At this time, Li Qin realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly covered up "cough cough, but... maybe it was because I came all night to read the memorial and didn't have enough rest, so... I got angry! Pai Er, you will order the dining room to get some ...um...get something to reduce the fire!" For a while, I couldn't think of the name of the supplementary meal that I would eat after driving the night train.

Xiao Pai was amused by Li Qin's embarrassment, "Haha, okay, after I retire from the court, my concubines will cook it for the emperor right away."

Li Qin knew that Xiao Pai was making fun of him, so he turned around and went to the side room with a straight face, "Hurry up and change clothes, and then come over to eat, don't starve!"

The court ladies all cast envious glances at Xiao Pai, thinking, "Such an aloof emperor is not angry at being molested by the empress, but is worried that the empress will starve, and...acting like a baby! How happy is the empress!"

But the maids can only envy, because the emperor never looked at other women.

Although the Yisui Hall is made of gold and jade, it is solemn yet elegant.

In recent months, the country has been prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the tone has been smooth, and there is no major matter to report.

Li Qin sat high on the mighty dragon chair, and his clear voice resounded through the Yisui Hall, "Concubine Su Shu has both benevolence and virtue. I know that three days will be an auspicious day, and I plan to make her queen on that day."

Yes, everyone heard it right, it is "preparation", it has already been decided, and there is no meaning of asking.

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. They had been working with the new emperor for a while, and the new emperor would never make a decision if there was a need for discussion.Therefore, everyone knew that the emperor's intention to be a queen would not be shaken, and after the last debate about whether the imperial concubine should be allowed to sit in, no one dared to point out any inappropriateness.

At this time, a loyal minister who had already conspired against the emperor risked his life to stand up and "speak to the emperor, the old minister thinks this is inappropriate."

Li Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was a little displeased, and his tone remained normal, "Oh? Scholar Lin, please tell me what's wrong?"

Lin Qibang lowered his head and said, "There is only Concubine Su Shu in the harem now, and the emperor has few choices, so he is not in a hurry. In a few months, it will be the day of the draft, and the emperor can spend more time with the newly selected concubine before making a decision."

"Draft?" Li Qin peeked at Xiao Pai's slightly sad face, his sword eyebrows were slightly creased, and his voice was a little low, as if he was suppressing something, "When did I agree to the draft?"

Lin Qibang still answered without hesitation, "Reporting to the emperor, as a rule, the new emperor needs to be drafted once half a year after he takes the throne, and then every three years. If necessary, it can be increased according to the emperor's will." After that, my daughter will have a chance.

Seeing that the emperor did not object immediately, Liang Shangshu also stood up ambitiously and said, "Qizhu the emperor, a country should not be hastily established. The emperor's harem has three thousand, and there are many talented people among them. The only one in the harem is Concubine Su Shu. The minister thinks that there is no rush to establish a queen and preside over the harem."

"Then you mean to ask me to accept a few more concubines first, and then choose a suitable candidate for the queen, right?" Although Li Qin's voice was not loud at this time, it was obvious from her weird tone. I can tell she's angry!

Liang Shangshu continued, "Back to the emperor, the emperors of all dynasties selected the first draft by themselves. Once the queen is established, the draft will be changed to the queen's selection, and the selection will be made by the emperor."

"Qing, do you mean that Ruo Xiaopai won't let me personally draft because of jealousy?" Li Qin's tone was very cold.

When Xiao Pai heard Li Qin's words, she understood it, and she, who had never spoken in court, calmly followed Li Qin's words and said, "No one can promise to love only one person forever, and no one can force someone who doesn't love themselves. Since ancient times, the emperor's harem has three thousand. Although I was born in Jianghu, I also understand this truth. Xiao Pai has followed the emperor since he was not enthroned. Regardless of whether he was a prince at the time, the emperor can accept a side concubine at any time. If the emperor likes it, Xiao Pai Pai will never object, let alone obstruct it."

The ministers present heard Xiao Pai's flat tone, as if she was discussing other people's husband's taking a concubine, and she felt dignified and magnanimous.

They couldn't hear it, could it be that Li Qin couldn't hear Xiao Pai's overtones?

Li Qin's ruthless aura disappeared without a trace. He swallowed his saliva and thought, "Don't you just tell me to figure it out by yourself! Hey... these two meddlesome people, who caused trouble My little Pai will be jealous!"

The extremely prestigious Prime Minister Xiao Zhuan finally stood up and spoke, "Qi Zuo, Your Majesty, Concubine Su Shu is not only talented and virtuous, she has also made many contributions to the country, and she is also the crown prince and concubine bestowed by the previous emperor. She is a well-deserved succession."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was confused and thought that the emperor's insistence on making Concubine Su Shu the empress was due to her merits and her due status, not just because of special favors as the rumors said, so there will be no more. Opposition.

Li Qin smiled smugly, and secretly winked at Prime Minister Shan, but at the same time, he was disappointed with the ministers, who couldn't even see such a simple trick, so how can I trust the country to you to govern?

"Then all divisions should make good preparations for the future, and retreat!" Li Qin openly took Xiao Pai's hand and stepped down the steps, passing hundreds of ministers and walking out of Yisui Palace.

Xiao Pai, who was led away by Li Qin, was blushing all the way and did not dare to look up, cursing the emperor who didn't know how to measure and didn't observe etiquette in his heart.

It was rare for the ministers to see the emperor smiling when he was doing official business, and then to look at Concubine Su Shu's flushed cheeks, and they were both happy and scared.

Happily, the emperor, who was loved by all people, lived happily, and the young couple loved each other.

What I'm afraid of is that the emperor will love Concubine Su Shu too much. It's not a good thing to spoil only one person in the harem, and if it is serious, it will even affect the government.

Since ancient times, the three thousand in the harem are not just because individual emperors are lustful, or high-minded ministers continue to show beauty.The ultimate goal, and the most important goal, is to reproduce for the royal family. To put it bluntly, the emperor is a stallion...

In the past, whenever Li Qin saw the emperor drowned in the beauties on TV, Li Qin would say, "It's so pitiful, he's become a stallion again!"

As shrewd as she is, how could she let herself become the stallion she despises the most? What's more, she has no material to be a stallion, so she can't be one either!

The best way to deal with Xiao Pai, who is jealous, is to surprise her suddenly, to wash away the messy thoughts in her mind.As a modern person, Li Qin understands the old-fashioned thinking of women in ancient times, so it is definitely the best policy to make intimate actions in public.

Ever since, Li Qin led Xiao Pai all the way back to the imperial study.
