Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

After the little incident, Ang Lee finally explained what had happened in the past few days.

The people who were having dinner there had different thoughts when they heard this. Although they were all curious about how Li An managed to suddenly appear in the capital of Nanqing, they all tacitly agreed not to delve into it.

They just looked worried, and were glad that Li Ang was able to escape this almost certain death.

The little emperor put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips, put the silk cloth on the edge of the table and looked up and down at Li An: "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious, he just looks a little embarrassed. At most, Emperor Qing suffered some internal injuries when he exchanged his life for his injuries. I took the elixir before coming back, so he will recover in no time."

Li An consoled him and then said with a smile, "Li Yunqian has suffered a great loss this time. I believe that if it happens twice, he will be crippled if not dead! When Hong Sixiang's foundation is exhausted, Emperor Qing will have no other means to use and can only choose to avoid fighting and hide."

"Do you still want to go again?"

"Emperor Qing has been able to endure for so many years and plot against several great masters, how could he not have other preparations and means?" The little emperor obviously did not agree with Li An's plan. Her eyebrows were raised, and she said with half fear and half emotion, "Kyoto is the capital of the enemy country after all. Who knows how many dangerous places and traps there are in the palace?"

"We are still young, and we will have plenty of time and opportunities to plan and deploy in the future. Why do we have to put ourselves in danger?"

The little emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Queen, you are already 17 years old this year. This is not an age to continue to suffer. In my opinion, you should stay in the palace and think about giving birth to a prince!"

"Actually, I want to play for a few more years," Li An muttered quietly.

It sounded like a joke, but in fact he had his own persistence.

In short, just delay it as long as possible. Even if you have medical skills, it will not hurt to fight Doudou.

"What did you say?"

Zhan Doudou lowered her beautiful eyes and said quietly, "What a quarrel there is in the court now. These people judge people based on their imaginations. They won't make exceptions just because you are a grandmaster. You have read too many medical books and theories and your thinking has become problematic!"

At the end, the little emperor gritted his teeth, feeling angry: He had clearly acquiesced to this matter last time, why did he turn around and deny it?
Hey, man
You don’t know how ugly the discussions in the court are!
This was clearly talking about the queen, but Li An, as a man, naturally didn't think it was a big deal. But in reality, she heard all these words. If she was told that the queen was not good enough, she would think that it was her own stomach that was not doing well!

"Hmph, I'll explain this to you after I leave the court!"

After saying that, the little emperor stood up and walked out angrily.

"Wait!" Li An suddenly spoke.

The little emperor immediately turned around, his anger turned into joy, and he asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"I was just saying, Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. I will go to the court meeting with Your Majesty this time." Li An said innocently. He was clearly thinking about the people, while His Majesty's mind was full of the prince's affairs. "I got a lot of good things during this trip to Nanqing!"

"Then why are you eating so slowly?"

The little emperor cursed Li An, who was so elegant even when eating, and walked out of the palace with her relatives without stopping.
"Oh, it seems that my husband really pissed off His Majesty." Haitang Duoduo explained with a smile, "My husband has been away for a few days, but it has been hard for me and Xiaomaoer."

Somehow, seeing His Majesty so angry, Haitang felt relaxed and warm in her heart, as if the palace had a little more vitality and was not as beautiful as a painting.

——That's very pale.

Now it feels more like home, and even the dull and cautious palace servants have become cheerful.

It's strange to say, when Li An was still in the palace, these eunuchs and palace maids were most afraid of the moody queen, but during the few days when he was away, these people were more afraid of His Majesty. Sure enough, the palace only looks good when the husband is there!

Li An nodded slightly in response, feeling somewhat proud of his own importance. He then carefully looked at Ye Ling'er who was sitting opposite him. Seeing that she was still a little reserved, he asked, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking? Well, there are only about twenty snacks today, which lacks some variety."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er quickly shook her head, indicating that the food was good.

She paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, Li Ang's previous injuries were not entirely caused by her, but at least she was responsible for most of them. Just now, the Emperor of the Zhan family did not look at her well.

"Are you worried about your family?"

"Don't worry too much. Not to mention that Emperor Qing doesn't know you're still alive, even if he knew, he wouldn't do anything to the Ye family. This time he used the Ye family first, and you didn't do anything to betray your master." Li An said seriously with a serious look, "Now your father is still guarding the front line, and Qing Kingdom is in need of people, so it's okay."

He said this, but he was thinking about something else:

If I take Ye Ling'er into the palace and then announce it to the world, what kind of expression will Ye Chong have when I go to the front line with her?

With Li An's comfort, Ye Ling'er relaxed a lot. This was also related to Zhan Doudou's departure from Yong'an Palace. She blushed slightly: "It was like being in a nightmare before. I felt so hazy that I still feel a little palpitated now."

"It was a little irritating, but it's all over now. You don't have to take it too seriously."

Li An changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, why were you captured by Emperor Qing last night and ended up in the palace?"

Ye Ling'er suppressed her worries and responded, "Ever since you and the Second Prince had a disturbance at Yishiju, you haven't returned home since night fell. I was a little worried so I went out to look for you. Who would have thought that I hadn't walked far when I heard the garrison soldiers patrolling the city talking about a big commotion in the suburbs, and even the people from the Overwatch Council went out in full force to investigate."

"After hearing these discussions, I guessed that it was you who caused the chaos. Other things are fine, but the black cavalry from the fifth department of the Supervisory Council is not simple. Once they are connected into a formation and charge, even a grandmaster will have some trouble dealing with it. I want to help you!"

Ye Ling'er deliberately avoided the incident of being captured by Emperor Qing.

"Hahahaha, you call this helping? Silly woman, I have the cultivation of a Grandmaster. Even if something really happens, how can you help by yourself?"

He picked up a piece of steamed bun and handed it to the other side. Seeing this, Ye Ling'er obediently took it with a bowl.

“It really doesn’t seem to help.”

She took a bite of the food and said calmly, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought you were new to Kyoto and not familiar with the geography, so I thought I could show you the way. Fortunately, you were safe in the end." She wanted to help Li Ang and be a guide, so she was captured by a palace expert who was passing by to investigate the suburbs.
How could such a coincidence happen?
I'm afraid that Emperor Qing has already ordered people to keep an eye on Ye Ling'er. If she stays in the mansion, nothing will happen.
Haitang Duoduo listened to the whole story and just looked at Li An deeply, chuckled and said, "In that case, you are lucky."

I don't know if she was saying that after Ye Ling'er was taken hostage by Emperor Qing, she was successfully rescued and survived, which was good luck, or that Li An had a beautiful woman in his heart, which made Ye Ling'er forget her Grandmaster's cultivation and go to a dangerous place to look for her, which was good luck.
"All right."

"You can stay here and have a good meal with Haitang. You can also take this opportunity to get to know each other. After all, we will live together for decades in the future!"

In one sentence, Ye Linger felt a little embarrassed. She felt like a mistress. No, maybe she was a mistress. She didn't know how many times she was taken home by Li An to meet the mistress. She didn't know if Li An could make the decision at home. It seemed that the emperor was quite strong.
For a moment, Ye Ling'er was hesitant and no longer her usual self.

Ignoring the two of them, Li An took out everything in the space.

In addition to the bags of seeds, there are some small items:

A toothbrush with ointment (a novelty similar to a mouthwash), an unknown carpet (rolled up, but no foreign body sensation when touched), a watch with a black screen (no energy to start it, and no idea whether it uses electricity or some other energy source, Li Ang plans to try using his true energy), a dozen packs of multifunctional water balls marked for cleaning (presumably from an environmental perspective, each ball contains an amount suitable for one-time washing, avoiding the use of plastic bottles), a dozen unknown drawings (tools, which the institute envisions will be used to resume production after the nuclear winter).

It seems that the advancement of technology is of great help to our lives.

These were all useful items found in the research institute under Taiping Villa. Limited by the size of the system space, he did not bring too many out this time. He decided to go there again next time to search for more useful items, and at the same time, bring No. 7 to the palace to be his housekeeper.

very good!

Zhao Gao is going to lose his job!

"Put these things in the bathroom and spread the carpet next to the bed." After thinking about it, Li An put the watch away. "As for these drawings, find some craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to try to make them. Regardless of success or failure, they must keep it confidential!"

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask someone to come and ask me when I'm free."

Li An asked the eunuchs outside to send out the bag of seeds. He planned to set aside a piece of land in the palace to cultivate them first. If the yield could meet the expectation, he would promote it nationwide.

He just didn't believe it. When Northern Qi's production capacity increased and food was no longer a problem, could its national strength really be weakened by Southern Qing in a head-on confrontation?

Seeing how Li An could take out so many things, the two women were stunned.
This is completely no pretending, right?
First you bring people to a place within reach, then you take objects from a distance, and still you say you are not from the temple?
Haitang couldn't help thinking: I was too naive before, I actually thought my husband had some enlightenment teacher.
He walked slowly towards the main hall, and Xu Chu beside him did not dare to urge him. Anyway, the Queen Mother had not arrived yet, and the adults in the front hall did not dare to leave the court and go home.

Let them wait a little longer. I don’t know if they have had breakfast?

"Xu Chu, has anything important happened in the court these days? Have Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Chunzi, and Shen Zhong ever come to the palace to ask for instructions from His Majesty?"

Xu Chu gathered his thoughts after hearing this, took two quick steps forward and walked side by side with Li An, bowed and responded, "Your Majesty, there has been no major incident in the court recently, except for some setbacks in clearing out the remnants of the criminals and recovering the dirty silver. As for the several adults that Your Majesty mentioned, they did come to the palace to see Your Majesty once, but I don't know what they said, maybe Eunuch Zhao Gao knows better."

He paused and continued, "There is nothing else. The adults in the front hall are waiting for the delegation to return to the capital, thinking about handling the follow-up matters and taking over the two newly acquired states."

"Oh? It seems that someone wants to be sent abroad. I can understand that. Being in charge of a new land is considered a high-ranking official. If he does a good job, he will certainly have great credit."

Some small things, just need a simple understanding.

It's such a big country. If you care about everything, then you don't need to do anything else. I don't know how Doudou has adapted to it.

To be honest, the feudal dynasty system has its own advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on human effort, and whether it is done well or not is up to the emperor.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye. Although these adults did not say it explicitly, they all know that Da Qi now has two great masters, and is in an absolute advantage! Being sent to the new lands of the two states is not only safe, but also very profitable. Therefore, they all use various means to make Your Majesty worried and unable to decide on the candidates."

Xu Chu seemed to share the same hatred for the enemy. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke out his true feelings: "Not to mention Your Majesty, even I would not be annoyed if so many people bothered me all day long!"

"Jingjingxin, what are you so upset about?"

Li An smiled and asked, "Believe it or not, His Majesty is enjoying it!"

This is what Doudou wants to see, as people are competing for this and using their means. Otherwise, if the whole court is calm and everyone is fine, that should make people alert. What does this mean? It means that their interests have been exchanged and their opinions have been unified.

If they no longer regard each other as opponents and stop fighting, then their common opponent should be the emperor (the opponent here is at other levels).

"I'm not surprised that there are people fighting over these two new pieces of land, but what about the enclave? Does anyone have any ideas?"

"This..." Xu Chu scratched his head, recalling the previous times when he accompanied His Majesty to court, and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be. No one has mentioned that enclave, so I guess it's not very important."

It's no wonder he thinks this way.

That enclave connected Qing and Northern Qi, and bordered Xihu and the surrounding vassal states (Zuozhang). It was a place surrounded by wars. In addition, it was mostly grasslands and Gobi deserts, with a flat terrain. Not only were the products not abundant, but there was no big city to rely on. Whoever went there would be a fool.
But is it really so?

Li An chuckled with sarcasm in his eyes, but it soon faded away. He turned his head and said leisurely: "After today, you should go to the palace library more often to improve your cultivation. If your cultivation cannot be greatly improved in a short period of time, then you should also practice horizontal training and wear heavy armor. I am still thinking of relying on you to block bullets in the future!"

"Block the spear? Don't worry, your majesty. Ordinary standard spears are not threatening. Besides, aren't you a grandmaster? What kind of spear can hurt you?"

Xu Chu spoke confidently, but he felt insecure in his heart.

His progress has been slow since he entered the eighth rank. He thinks his martial arts path is about to come to an end. He doesn't know if he can still hold on to his position as the commander of the palace guards. Is the queen going to abandon him?

Practice! Horizontal training kung fu must be practiced!

I'll go to the Armory later to get two sets of heavy armor to wear. We must show our attitude!

"Stupid, that gun is not simple."

As they were talking, the team had already arrived at the main meeting hall. Without having to report, Li An strode over the threshold and walked into the hall.
"The Queen has arrived!" (End of this chapter)
