The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 111 The Wind
She turned her head subconsciously and almost bumped into the young man's jaw.Holding her forehead with one hand, the young man said with a slight smile in his gentle voice, "Is the princess hiding from his subordinates?"

That little secret thought was asked bluntly, Shu Yao was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it, she denied it flatly: "The one who was taken advantage of was not the princess, why did the princess hide from you?"

Li Mingji showed a suddenly realized expression: "So the princess is still brooding over what happened yesterday?"

...and fell into his trap so easily.

Shu Yao's eyes almost stared straight, wishing he could disappear from her sight immediately.Isn't that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

"The subordinates will forget what happened yesterday," Li Mingji said, "except for the subordinates and the Princess, no third person will know about this matter. Please don't worry about it."

Shu Yao was even more unhappy.

Li Mingji doesn't mind being kissed and bitten by her at all?Because she saved his life, is he willing to commit himself to her?
But Shu Yao knew that this was not the attitude she wanted.

She wanted Li Mingji to be like her, who would blush with embarrassment in front of each other, and miss the touch of lips and teeth...

Li Mingji is so smart, can't he understand what she means?

He just avoided it on purpose!
She said "Oh" dryly, her complexion was not pretty, she suddenly pointed to the picture on the wall, and said, "Next month is the birthday of the princess."

Shu Yao was born in January, so when she was young, her uncle always said that she was a lucky person who caught up with the best days of the year.

She is not good at hiding her emotions, especially when she is angry, her cheeks are puffed up, like a kitten waving its paws to scratch someone.

A smile flashed across Li Mingji's eyes, and Li Mingji said: "This subordinate will carefully prepare a birthday gift for the princess."

Shu Yao has seen countless treasures since she was a child, and she is more interested in Li Mingji than those flashy things.

But can Li Mingji understand her thoughts?

Shu Yao was irritable and annoyed, and thought it would be better to learn from that apprentice, first tie up Li Mingji and force the overlord to bow, as for whether he likes her... Forget it, it doesn't matter, I don't think he would dare against her.

……

Before the New Year's Eve, something big or small happened in the court.Li Jin, the former servant of the household department, was appointed as the magistrate of Xuzhou and also the transfer envoy of Jingxi Road. He set off immediately.

Ever since the Taizu ruled the world, the Great Yong Dynasty has been peaceful for several decades. Under normal circumstances, officials would not be dispatched in such a hurry.The fiefdoms of Qinyanghou and Changpinghou are both on Jingxi Road. Thinking of the rumors about the arrest of Changpinghou's son in Beijing recently, the officials became more and more frightened, thinking that Emperor Yong's temper was really not very good recently.

Not only these officials, but also the aristocratic family is not peaceful.Empress Dou was imprisoned in Anshun Palace to think about her mistakes, and the seal was handed over to the Queen Mother. Even the New Year's Eve banquet was handed over to Princess Jiayi's biological mother, Concubine Shu. They really couldn't figure out what Emperor Yong was thinking.

You must know that Concubine Shu's family background is mediocre, her ancestors were just an ordinary poor family, she entered the palace through drafts, and gave birth to a princess, she lived in seclusion on weekdays, and rarely participated in social banquets.Can such a concubine support the royal family?
Without the empress, Emperor Yong still had a concubine Xian who also came from a wealthy family by his side. The concubine Xian also gave birth to the second prince for Emperor Yong, but he passed the concubine Xian and handed over the power to Concubine Shu, which really slapped the aristocratic family in the face.

As early as when Emperor Yong took action against the Xie family, rumors that Emperor Yong wanted to target the family had already spread in the court.But not long after, the Zheng family was promoted again, and the high-level power was still in the hands of the aristocratic family, so these rumors were put to rest.

After all, for aristocratic families, it doesn't really mean much which family is in power.After hundreds of years of marriage and reproduction, the aristocratic family has long become an inseparable whole. Regardless of internal struggles, they have always been united externally.

Emperor Yong disregarded the queen from the family, promoted the concubine from the poor family, and transferred Li Jin from the poor family to the sphere of influence of the family to be the magistrate. Is this provoking the family?

One quiet night, when Zheng Lian came to Xie's mansion, Xie Hong, the head of the Xie family, stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the plaque on the wall.

"Brother Xie," Zheng Lian stroked his beard and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few months. They say that you have been concentrating on recuperating in the mansion. Are you feeling better now?"

"Concentrate on recuperating" is naturally an excuse.Who doesn't know that two months ago, Xie Hong's only son was deprived of his rank and was almost put in prison. Xie Hong was stopped twice when he entered the palace to meet the saint, which can be described as extremely embarrassing.

However, the Xie family is a famous family with a hundred years of history. It has witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties and still has a lot of prestige in Beijing. The power of the Xie family cannot be shaken by cutting off a few organs.Emperor Yong could move the title of the Xie family, but he couldn't change the status of the Xie family in the capital.

Xie Hong raised his eyelids, and gave him a half-hearted look, "Are you here to see the old man joke?"

"How dare I," Zheng Lian laughed loudly, "brother, I just haven't seen Brother Xie for a long time, so I came to find you for a few drinks."

In the early years, the Confucian generals who followed Yong Taizu to fight against the country were all Confucian generals who could write poems with writing brushes and kill enemies with swords. They are not like the officials in the court today. It's hard to say whether he can lift the knife.

Although the two of them were already graying at the temples, when they drank wine, they competed with each other by a huge amount.After drinking until his face was red and his neck was thick, Xie Hong slapped the wine jar heavily on the stone table, and spit out his inner thoughts, "Wulang, what the hell is he doing! Why is he here for a little princess!"

Emperor Yong was a five-year-old. In the early years of his enthronement, he was open-minded and studious, and never put on the emperor's airs. These old officials affectionately called him Wulang.

It's just that the people on the dragon chair have become strangers now, and they are no longer the same as before.

Xie Hong has a straight temper and can't turn his head around. One is one and the other is two. Otherwise, he would not always pretend to be the emperor's teacher, and even make trouble in front of Emperor Yong.

Zheng Lian was different from him.

He stroked his beard and said secretively, "Brother Xie, people change. Your Majesty has been on the throne for so many years, and even his wife can be ignored, and he only favors his family. How can he remember who helped him back then?" What about the one who got the throne?"

Xie Hong's heart was shocked.

The wind sounded solemn, looking at the wine jar with cracks in his hand, a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

The Xie family has an army with strict discipline and well-trained training. Back then, they fought with Taizu Yong and captured many important cities for Taizu.When Emperor Yong ascended the throne, he was opposed by the late prince's remnant party, and it was Xie's army who blocked him.

Later, the Xie family army was disbanded, and the generals were scattered in various places. The general Xie Hong of Fuguo also put on the official robe of a civil servant.

The aristocratic family can help an emperor ascend the throne. When the emperor is no longer available to the aristocratic family, why don't they make another move and change to another emperor?
