I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Since it is fair and aboveboard, why did you say no to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "

Fang Xiu covered Wu Mingkong's mouth halfway through his speech, and he couldn't say a word until he was carried back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wu Mingkong's blushing face showed a hint of grievance, he looked at Fang Xiu pitifully, and said, "Obviously we are just a couple, why is it not me who is called Mrs. Fang?"

aside.

Lin Wan'er was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and subconsciously looked at the empress, with a hint of distress in her eyes.

It is said that one speaks the truth after drinking. For a person like His Majesty who can't drink, he can only speak out the thoughts buried in his heart when he is slightly drunk.

His Majesty obviously cared so much about his status with Prime Minister Fang, but due to various reasons, he could only conceal it.

Perhaps, in His Majesty's heart, the relationship between her and Fang Xiang has always been a secret affair.

That's why she often shows off her might in front of Li Yaoyue like a child.

Fang Xiu was startled when he heard what the little empress said.

He was silent for a few breaths, stepped forward and embraced the delicate body of the little empress, and said softly: "The important thing is that in my heart, Your Majesty has always been my wife."

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with watery eyes, snorted, and said angrily, "What's the point of you thinking so, what I want is for the whole world to know."

After finishing speaking, he nestled in Fang Xiu's arms again, humming and saying, "You said just now that there is wine in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Where is the wine, bring it to me!"

While talking, his arms fluttered wildly, no different from a child having a temper tantrum.

Fang Xiu looked at her, with a smile on his brows, looked at Lin Wan'er, and ordered, "Send someone to Zhenbao Zhai, and get a bottle of the softest wine."

Lin Wan'er wanted to agree, but when she saw the little empress who was still stalking, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

As His Majesty's personal maid, she is always by His Majesty's side at times like this.

"You don't have to worry here, the truth will take good care of His Majesty."

Fang Xiu said a word of comfort.

Lin Wan'er was relieved at this moment, bowed politely, and said, "Your maidservant, let's go now."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

After she left, only Fang Xiu and the little empress were left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After a lot of fuss, the little empress seemed a little tired, she nestled quietly in Fang Xiu's arms, closed her eyes, and breathed evenly.

Fang Xiu looked at the delicate face so close, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

With a little force, he picked her up horizontally and placed her on the dragon couch, calling his wife and coaxing her softly.

In just a moment, Wu Mingkong fell asleep peacefully, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and he looked peaceful.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Many officials ate food, drank wine, and chatted happily. It took a while to remember to pay attention to the etiquette before the king. They subconsciously raised their eyes to look forward, but suddenly found that His Majesty and Fang Xiang had disappeared.

On the stage was only a cold and noble empress of the Great Zhou, who was also Fang Xiang's wife, Li Yaoyue, who was dressed in a dragon robe.

"Huh? Why didn't you see His Majesty and Prime Minister Fang?"

Someone was drunk, looked at the stage, and asked curiously.

Someone next to him said: "I heard that I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"What are you going to do in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

The man looked puzzled.

Zhou Zheng, the core member of the Fang Party, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, glanced at him, and said calmly: "You can ask what Fang Xiang and His Majesty are doing?"

Hearing this, the man regained consciousness suddenly, and dared not ask any more questions.

On the stage.

Li Yaoyue sat on the dragon chair of the same style as Da Zhou, as if nothing had happened, and as if she had heard nothing, she was eating quietly.

She has lived in Xiangguo Mansion for a year, and she has seen all kinds of things.

Anything Fang Xiu did with other women could no longer arouse her emotionally.

No fluctuations.

A dinner lasted for an hour.

Without Prime Minister Fang and His Majesty, the guests enjoyed themselves, and when they left the palace, they supported each other.

There were also some officials who couldn't bear the strength of alcohol, and they fainted halfway after being poured. Fortunately, the guards in the palace watched him and sent him home.

Otherwise, in this weather, I'm afraid they will freeze to death outside.

The next day.

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wu Mingkong slowly opened his eyes, feeling a little confused.

"No Waner."

Wu Mingkong covered his head, trying hard to recall what happened last night, but he found nothing.

Her first reaction was to ask Lin Wan'er, her most trusted personal maid.

"What did your Majesty keep saying? You only love me in this life. Apart from me, Your Majesty doesn't trust anyone. I didn't expect that when Your Majesty woke up, the first name he called was Lin Wan'er. I really feel chilling."

Fang Xiu's lazy and slightly frivolous voice sounded.

The little empress was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

Fang Xiu, who was dressed in silk clothes, stood there, pouring tea, and said with a smile.

Obviously, it wasn't long after crawling out of the bed.

"You you. I. I."

Wu Mingkong stuttered in fright when he heard what Fang Xiu said.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and asked, "Did I really say that?"

Fang Xiu walked to the side of the dragon couch, handed the moderately warm tea to the little empress, and pretended to be at a loss, and said, "What are you talking about?"

The little empress blushed and whispered, "Say I love you the most"

Fang Xiu frowned, and said with a smile: "That's natural, His Majesty not only said it, but also said it in front of civil and military officials."

【Mood value 5000】

A cold system prompt sounded.

A strong sense of shame swept over, making the little empress cover her face, speechless.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu found it interesting, and said: "Not only that, but your majesty must call your Majesty Mrs. Fang in front of civil and military officials, otherwise you will be dismissed from the position of prime minister."

"You, stop talking."

Wu Mingkong covered his face, almost desperate.

On weekdays, she would not be able to do such a thing no matter what.

But it's not necessarily true after drinking alcohol.

The last time she had a drink was in Yirenju, when she did something shocking to the world, in front of Fang Xiu who was still against her at that time, she lashed out at him.

Now, in front of civil and military officials, he did such a thing and said such a thing.

She...she's dead!

As Wu Mingkong thought about it, he bumped his head against the pillow and said in a trembling voice, "I'm dead!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu couldn't help laughing, and chuckled.

"Mrs. Fang really trusts her husband. Madam will believe whatever my husband says."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong raised his eyes abruptly, staring at Fang Xiu with big watery eyes, and said, "You mean, I didn't say those words, did you?"

After finishing speaking, he looked expectant, hoping to get an affirmative answer from Fang Xiu's mouth.

Unfortunately, Fang Xiu shook his head lightly, and said seriously, "Your Majesty said so."

"It's over."

Wu Mingkong's heart skipped a beat, and he fell into despair again.

at this time.

Fang Xiu smiled again, and added, "It's not in front of civil and military officials, but in front of my ministers."

Afraid that the little empress would think too much, she continued: "At that time, Your Majesty was lying on the dragon couch, and there was only one minister in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Wu Mingkong let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his hanging heart finally fell down.

If those
The words were really spoken in front of the officials.

She really didn't know how to face the officials from now on.

At a certain moment just now, she had already figured out that Zen was located in Fangxiu.

Instead of dying, it is better to hand over the throne to him.

"What does Madam's expression of relief mean? When she was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Madam was very powerful. She provoked Li Yaoyue crazily, and she almost said in front of her, I want your man."

Fang Xiu leaned in front of the little empress and said with a smile.

Wu Mingkong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Don't shout! Your wife is not I, but Li Yaoyue. There are differences between monarchs and ministers. Please address me as Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu raised his brows and said, "Madam didn't seem to say that last night."

Wu Mingkong said: "What did I say last night? Why can't I remember?"

Fang Xiudao: "Since madam has forgotten, then I will help madam remember."

Saying that, he possessed himself and kissed the pink lips of the little empress, and pounced on her.

"No no."

Wu Mingkong pretended to struggle for a while, then chose to give up and let him go.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

The cloth shop under the jurisdiction of Zhenbaozhai has sold out all the cloth that it rushed to weave years ago.

The branch stores in various places submitted reports, and after statistics, the Lilan in one year was exactly double that of last year!
Sitting on a chair in Zhenbaozhai shop, Li Yaoyue let out a long breath looking at the statistics.

She forgot to eat and sleep for half a year, and finally met Fang Xiu's request, and doubled the Lilan of Zhenbao Zhai.

Although the business in Wu State is still struggling, the business in Zhou State is triumphant. In addition, the business in the local Gan State is making steady progress. Among many similar shops, Zhenbaozhai can be regarded as the fastest rising momentum. .

As long as there are no major accidents, Zhenbaozhai will be one of the largest shops in Qian and Zhou for at least ten years.

Of course, none of this mattered to her.

The important thing is that she was finally able to go home after being away from home for nearly two years.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she took the account book of Zhenbaozhai and returned to the Xiangguo Mansion, walking in a hurry like never before.

Arrived at Xiangguo Mansion.

When the servants saw her, they all saluted respectfully: "Ma'am."

Compared with previous years, these servants treated Li Yaoyue with much more respect.

One is that they know that besides the master's wife, the person in front of them has another identity, that is, the empress of the Great Zhou Empire.

Although there is no real power, but for these servants, the emperor is always high and extremely dignified.

The second is that in the past six months, to be precise, after my wife worked in Zhenbaozhai, the master's attitude towards his wife has eased a lot.

They will naturally never dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Li Yaoyue's status has risen, and even Tao'er's status among the maids has risen a lot.

of course.

Li Yaoyue didn't care about these things either, she only cared about two words - go home.

Walk through the quiet corridor and come to an elegant courtyard somewhere.

Li Yaoyue finally met the owner of this luxurious mansion, who was also her nominal husband, Prime Minister of Daqian and Regent of Dazhou, Fang Xiu.

I haven't seen you for half a month.

He was as high-spirited and extravagant as at the New Year's Eve dinner that day.

"Fang Xiu."

Li Yaoyue stopped, stood where she was, looked at Fang Xiu with her beautiful phoenix eyes, and called out.

Fang Xiu, who was feeding the white tiger, heard the sound and raised his eyes to look at her.

With just one glance, Fang Xiu understood her reason for coming, and asked, "Did the Lilan in Zhenbaozhai double?"

Li Yaoyue nodded, pinching the account book in his hand, and said coldly: "Every account is well documented, if you don't believe it, you can hand it over to the Royal Bank for Daji's people to check."

Fang Xiu threw a piece of mutton

Feng Qingyun said calmly: "There is nothing to believe, I forgive you for not having the guts to deceive the truth about this kind of thing."

After finishing speaking, she clapped her hands, stood up, looked at her, and said, "I'm staying at the mansion these few days, pack it up well, and leave for Jinnan in five days at the latest."

Li Yaoyue was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Just agreed?

She thought that Fang Xiu would try to make things difficult for her.

Unexpectedly, things were completely different from what I imagined.

After Fang Xiu finished feeding the tiger, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yaoyue. Seeing that she was still standing there, he frowned slightly and asked, "What else do you need?"

Li Yaoyue hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "After I leave, who will take over Zhenbao Zhai?"

Fang Xiu said lightly, "Daji has already made arrangements, so you don't need to worry."

It stands to reason that she should be very happy to hear this result.

But maybe it was because she had been busy in Zhenbaozhai for a long time, and when she heard that Zhenbaozhai, which she had devoted herself to before, would have nothing to do with her, she couldn't help but feel a little empty in her heart.

"Zhenbaozhai's business in Wu is still hindered, they want tariffs."

Before Li Yaoyue finished speaking, Fang Xiu interrupted her.

"This matter will be dealt with by the court itself at the court meeting in the next year, and it has nothing to do with you."

Li Yaoyue fell silent when she heard this.

Suddenly free, she was really not used to it for a while.

Seeing that she still didn't leave, Fang Xiu asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Li Yaoyue opened the mouth and said, "Zhenbaozhai's branch in Huizhou."

"I didn't ask you about Zhenbaozhai. It's your own business. What kind of carriage and how many guards do you want to go to Jinnan? Although you and I are not husband and wife, your status is special. As long as you ask, The truth will satisfy you as much as possible.”

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and said with a straight face.

"I"

There was confusion in Li Yaoyue's cold eyes, she didn't know how to answer.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said: "It stands to reason that you should use the emperor's chariot when you go back to Jinnan, but the details of Yan's country are still permeating all over Zhou, and it can't be removed in a short time. If you use the emperor's chariot, too Too conspicuous and easy to attract assassins.

Therefore, according to the facts, it is enough to drive in the car of the Xiangguo Mansion, which is comfortable and will not attract assassins. "

"As for the guards, the Prime Minister will arrange them according to the circumstances, and your safety will never be compromised."

From the beginning to the end, Fang Xiu's tone was very flat, but he considered many things that Li Yaoyue had never considered before.

this moment.

Li Yaoyue finally realized that Fang Xiu's plan to let him go back to Jinnan was not a whim, but a long-planned plan.

It's just that she didn't understand why Fang Xiu, who originally planned to imprison herself for a lifetime, suddenly changed his mind.

Could it be that when she encountered the assassin of Yan State at that time, she didn't fall into trouble, but wanted to save him instead?
