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

"What do you mean by this?"

Although Li An's voice was still gentle and pleasant, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, the little emperor's face tightened when he heard it. She asked back: "The Jianghu is so big that it includes everything that the imperial court cannot reach. Not to mention Da Qi, even the situation in Nan Qing is similar. Behind such a huge group, how can someone stand without being known by outsiders? Who can have such a huge power to control all of this?"

The two factory supervisors in the hall also nodded repeatedly in agreement with His Majesty.

Before, they didn't think highly of the people in the martial arts world. Those people were used to living a free and unrestrained life, and their strength was scattered and unsystematic. If it weren't for the Queen's suggestion to hold a martial arts conference, they would not have noticed the existence of this force.

But what if there is someone behind these people gathering them together?
Just like what the queen is going to do later, this tiny force will become very terrifying.
For a moment, the three of them looked at the queen anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Li An just smiled and did not answer the question immediately.

She just pointed at Yu Huatian and the other person in front of her and said, "Xiao Tianzi, you and Xiao Chunzi are both from the palace, and now you have reached the eighth rank. I think you have the hope of breaking into the ninth rank in this life."

"As for the path of martial arts, how do you think your talent compares to others?"

As the two people who knew the Queen's temperament best, they naturally knew that when faced with such a question, in addition to telling the truth, they had to exaggerate a little.

Her Majesty doesn't want to see the people below being lackadaisical and submissive.

Doesn't that mean that the Empress had no vision and made the wrong choice in choosing them to work by her side?

With a hint of arrogance and confidence, Yu Huatian quickly stepped forward and said:
"To answer your Majesty, although I am still at the eighth rank, that is only because I am young and have only been practicing martial arts for a short time. In addition, I was initially working under Eunuch Gao and was busy in the palace. I had no time to take care of other things and could not devote myself to martial arts."

"Even so, compared to others, few people can match my progress. I think that Eunuch Cao's situation should be similar to mine, with great talent."

After saying these proud words, he did not forget to lower his body a little more and added respectfully:
"Of course, compared to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Concubine, we two are just average-looking people! We are so different that we are not even worthy of being on the stage."

Filtering out the unnecessary words, Li An nodded slightly.

After gently waving his hand forward, Yu Huatian retreated with a smile on his face.

Here, the young emperor's eyes were filled with inexplicable envy, and he laughed loudly and said, "How can you compare with my queen and concubine Wu? However, you are already very good! I didn't expect Gao Zhongxian to have such a good vision and to have known the extraordinary qualities of you two earlier. He can be regarded as cultivating talents for the palace, so I will give him credit for it!"

The two men bowed again, not daring to accept the praise from His Majesty.

"Your Majesty is right. These two are both promising talents. Otherwise, they would not be able to shoulder the heavy burden of the East and West Factories. If your Majesty is relieved, they are better than Zhao Gao."

outside the temple.

Zhao Gao was not like Xu Chu, who was carefree and full of thoughts. He had already circulated his true energy in his ears and listened carefully to the movements inside. It was not that he had forgotten the lesson in the palace and was eavesdropping, but the voices of His Majesty and the Queen were not covered up, so he couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.
Coincidentally, at this moment he heard the queen's words "He is better than Zhao Gao" in full, and his face turned bitter.

My queen!
I am the housekeeper of the palace, and I have a lot of things to do. How can I compare with those two who only know how to fight and kill? I am known for my thoughtful work, and I am trusted by His Majesty and His Majesty!

Inside the palace.

Li An continued, "Take Xiao Tianzi and Xiao Chunzi as examples. They are both from the palace. They have decent talents, money, resources, and skills. Although they are entangled in affairs, their starting point is much higher than that of others. But even with such conditions, they are still at the eighth level of cultivation."

"In today's world, including the deceased Ye Liuyun, who among these grandmasters is not from a top-level force?"

"You can imagine how difficult this path of martial arts, which should have been simple, has become."

Li Yunqian was born in the royal family of Qing, Si Gujian was the son of the former lord of Dongyi City, and the Ye family behind Ye Liuyun was also the top noble family in Southern Qing. Every generation had people who entered the army and held important positions. As for the last Ku He, his brother was the founding emperor of Northern Qi.
None of them comes from an ordinary family!

"Except for those who are born with defects, there is not much difference between people when they are just born. In my opinion, all the differences are after they truly develop intelligence. Without considering the existence of a few monsters (Li An, Fan Xian, and some people who were born and lived for a long time in the site of a nuclear bombing), those who have skills and resources and can leave their jobs will naturally be ahead of others and make rapid progress in martial arts."

"The so-called talent is nothing more than allowing some people in this group to break into the ninth rank faster!"

"Just like Concubine Wu?" Listening to Li An's words, the little emperor asked with a smile, "But I don't quite agree with what the queen said before. There are differences between these grandmasters! Just like the queen, she didn't rely on external things to become a grandmaster. She is much stronger than the others!"

Come on, why don’t you rely on external things?

Li An is the most dependent person! He wishes he could just climb onto the system.
Li An nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right."

He is worthy of the title of extraordinary comprehension. In short, he should establish his character first. Who said copying is not hard? Playing chess also depends on one's own efforts, but it takes a lot of effort!
"I said so much before not to show off to Your Majesty, but to explain a truth - the martial arts are difficult, and those who can reach a high level must have money and resources in addition to talent and intelligence!"

After hearing this, the little emperor also felt emotional.

Yes, the way of practicing martial arts not only requires a strong mind and not to achieve success simply by spending time there, but also requires massive resources and a large amount of money as a foundation to achieve success!

She herself was born into a royal family and had no shortage of resources and money.

But even with these conditions, she is only at the level of the sixth rank, not to mention that she has no combat experience and her combat power is impressive.
There are many reasons for this situation: on the one hand, she had to learn a lot before she ascended the throne, and while hiding her identity, she was burdened by government affairs and had no time to practice martial arts; on the other hand, it was because practicing martial arts was too hard, and she liked to eat something sweet and the salty in Li An's body was not good enough.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and asked slowly and tentatively, "The Queen means that those high-ranking warriors in the martial arts world also have powerful forces and wealthy people behind them to support them? Otherwise, they would not be able to reach their current level and cultivation level?"

"exactly!"

"Perhaps there are some people who are blessed with extraordinary fortunes and talents, but they are only a minority. Most warriors don't even have a good martial arts book at the beginning, so how can they develop in the future? There are many people who can barely make a living (bandits, soldiers), and in today's martial arts world, the younger the high-quality warriors are, the more problems they have!"

After these words, Ang Lee has laid the problem out in the open.

If you think about it carefully, the story behind this is quite important.

Although they were not holding Yu Huatian and the other man responsible, they were half-kneeling on the ground and saying loudly:
"Don't worry, Madam. It was indeed Xiao Tianzi who was careless before. From now on, the West Factory will increase its surveillance on those martial artists to prevent any disasters from happening and shake the court!"

"The same is true for the East Depot! I will take advantage of this martial arts conference to investigate these people one by one, and present all the information about the forces behind these people to your majesty and your majesty!"

"It's good that you understand." The purpose of this martial arts conference is, firstly, to completely cut off the hands of those who have extended their veins too long, so that he can completely control the martial arts world and prevent any possible chaos; secondly, to use these people to deal with Qing Kingdom.
If this arrangement continues, then in the near future: the people's hearts will be used, the generals in the army will be warlike, and even the good players in the world will be able to gather into a force.

Why worry about not being able to unify the world?
When that time comes, even if the temple is in its prime, it will be useless. After all, the temple messenger can kill Ye Qingmei, some generals, or a monarch, but the generals and monarchs who come to power will be swept up by countless people and soldiers who are good at war, and will be unstoppable to this continent!
There are too many countries on this continent, just like the borders between them, which Ang Lee really doesn't like!

This greatly affected his dream of traveling around the world with his female relatives and travelling across the entire continent!

"Okay! Now that everything has been explained clearly, you can all go down and make preparations early."

With a wave of his hand, he let Yu Huatian and the other two leave Yong'an Hall, and Li An also felt a little relaxed. These two people were synonymous with troubles, and their departure also meant that troubles had left Li An, and he could start to enjoy life again.

But his wish was good, but Zhan Doudou couldn't make it happen.

Now that her relatives were around, she couldn't join Li An in his antics, so she had to concentrate all her attention and arrange everything while Li An wasn't sneaking out of the palace again.

"Don't relax just yet."

Zhan Doudou saw that there was no one in the hall, and ordered Xu Chu and the other guards outside to stay away. Then she regained a bit of her feminine demeanor. As if she understood Li An's thoughts, she smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth:

"At today's court meeting, we decided on the candidates who will take office in Xinzhou. Outside the palace, we also learned about the current smuggling situation in Tongqing Country. Now, we have decided on the martial arts conference and the important matter of changing the atmosphere in the country."

"Who can go to another enclave to run the business? Have you found any candidates?"

"Do we have to decide all of this today?" Li An held the little emperor's waist and was about to lean over to kiss him, but the emperor dodged him. He said unhappily, "We'll have to wait a little longer to decide on the candidate. After all, the enclave is more useful than we thought!"

"Don't move your hands!"

"I can see that you took Ye Ling'er's body after you went to the capital of Qing Kingdom. What, haven't you had enough fun yet?"

This one was not paying attention, and without knowing when, the belt around Zhan Doudou's waist had slipped down gently, and Li An's hand reached in silently.
It’s definitely my man, his proficiency hasn’t changed at all!

Zhan Doudou twisted her pretty and slender figure and raised her eyelids. Her red face was full of resentment. "What's the point of looking at something you can't eat? Let's talk about business first!"

"I don't know who is so shameless. A few days ago, you could have eaten it all but didn't leave a single drop. Now, besides making me drool, what else can you do?"

Li An chuckled and did not answer the little emperor's question about death. He just fumbled around and was very happy.

I can not only make your face drool, but also make your face
It is impossible to have a bloody battle, but there are many ways to be happy!
Sensing that Li An's actions were getting more and more outrageous, the blush on Zhan Doudou's cheeks instantly spread to her ears. As if she had given in, she whispered, "Don't be anxious. I'll be better in two days. If you can handle the government affairs first, I can grant your other thoughts tonight."

He was a scoundrel after all. Li An yawned and continued to roll and pinch the ball, as if he didn't hear clearly and had no intention of letting go.

He is a little sleepy.
After the battle and the fire last night, I didn't get any rest and today I helped Doudou deal with so many things. Although I don't feel tired physically, mentally I'm used to sleeping every day.

Unless it is necessary, Li An has no intention of making himself suffer.

Zhan Doudou bit her lip and explained in a trembling voice: "I know you are tired, but if you determine the candidate for the enclave one day earlier, I can make some arrangements in advance. This is not as simple as arranging one person. It requires the arrangement of all candidates and the preparation of materials."

"and many more!"

Li An paused and interrupted. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart: "Why are you so anxious? Let's wait until the martial arts conference is over and see if there are any unexpected gains. Then we can decide on the candidate."

Ang Lee's six senses are very sharp, and this premonition is not without reason.

Zhan Doudou planned to numb herself with work and suppress her desires. She wanted to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't think about that.
The current suppression and endurance will last until two days later when the explosion will come! By then, I will definitely give Ang Lee a hard time!

"I see."

Since the matter has come to a conclusion and cannot be decided immediately, she, the ruler of Northern Qi, will naturally not put herself in the position of indulging Li An in making trouble, because she has nothing to ask for.

She slapped her hand on her chest, and broke free from Li An's embrace, sneering, "Go and have a rest first, you are useless now! Don't forget what I said before, you should think about how to make me pregnant with a prince!"

My goodness, this change of face is too fast! What do you mean he is useless now? Very useful, okay?
However, when Li An thought about the prince's problem and the revengeful passion of Zhan Doudou in two days, he still felt his scalp tingling, and even his sleepiness was reduced a lot.

Don’t think about it, the chicken is moving!
"you"

Before Li An could finish his words, Zhan Doudou had already walked out of the hall resolutely without staying for a moment, as if he was avoiding some ferocious beast.

Zhao Gao followed behind happily, and judging from the direction he left, he was heading towards the imperial study.

Shaking his head, Li An didn't think any more. After loudly instructing Xu Chu a few words, he quickly climbed onto the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and fell into a sound sleep.

After leaving Yong'an Palace, Zhan Doudou soon met the eldest princess who had returned. Seeing that she was about to go look for Li An, she had to speak up and force her to stay:
"The queen left the palace for important matters, and she didn't sleep last night. Now she has rested, so you'd better not disturb her!"

Hearing this, the eldest princess was a little disappointed.

However, when she thought that the Queen's sister liked the gift she had given very much, she became happy again. She should wait until the Queen's sister had a good rest before coming back. It wouldn't matter if she waited a little longer.

After she bowed slightly to Zhan Doudou, she was about to return to her residence, but suddenly she looked up curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, are you sick? Why is your face so red?"

Zhan Doudou was startled after hearing this, then pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine, sister, please return to the palace quickly, and don't forget to pay your respects to the queen mother later!"

After saying that, without waiting for the eldest princess to respond, she turned around and walked away quickly.
"Your Majesty, your walking posture is really strange."

Hearing the faint questioning voice behind him, the little emperor's face froze.
She plans to change her pants first. (End of this chapter)
