Because there are too many opposing voices, if Li Zhi insists on going his own way, he will be infamous as a faint king. But Li Zhi believed in the vision of his stepmother and the queen, thought about it again and again, and finally thought of a compromise solution, that is, to take a step back.

What does it mean to take a step back? In fact, it is very simple, that is, to give Di Renjie a probationary period for three months, to see how he handles the case, if the response is good, then stay, if it is not good, go back and forth.

Wu Mei was a little worried about this, because Bi Zhengyi's sudden death caused a large backlog of cases, and Di Renjie also had to face many unexpected situations, and even the deliberate chaos of some people with bad intentions.

However, Yuan Ziyan is very confident in Di Renjie, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it is not that it is too late to regret it, and if you make a choice, then stick to it.

Wu Mei's mood was apprehensive, after all, this was the first person she elected above the court, and it was also an important official position. If Di Renjie is not satisfactory, let alone the ministers, even His Majesty will be disappointed in himself.

When Li Zhi was mentioned, Wu Mei secretly lamented her carelessness. A few days ago, I went out of the palace to pray for the little princess Anning, and after I came back, I dealt with the backlog of government affairs, so I counted them with my fingers, plus the months of pregnancy and childbirth, I haven't been close to my husband for more than half a year.

Thinking of this, Wu Mei's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but put down the pen in her hand and walked towards Li Zhi's bedroom, wanting to surprise him.

Since no one was notified in advance, the people waiting outside the hall were dozing, and the guards were stopped by Wu Mei's boos. Thinking as he walked, the back court was cold. It should also be for His Majesty to recruit a few young and beautiful concubines.

Now he has three emperors, and he has become the lord of the back court, with the passage of time. Will he gradually grow old, what will he take to please Long Yan? It's better to take advantage of the present to pick a few satisfactory people to serve Your Majesty, and Wu Mei can handle the government wholeheartedly.

When Wu Mei walked in, the eunuch outside the hall suddenly woke up, and hurriedly got up and smiled to greet the queen.

"Father-in-law, has Your Majesty ever slept?" Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

"Nope. Oh, sleep! ”

The serving father-in-law's face was nervous, and his words flickered. Wu Mei was suspicious, so she took a few steps inside. Unexpectedly, this father-in-law didn't know whether he was alive or dead and actually blocked Wu Mei, and said with a smile: "The queen stays and lets the servants go in and pass the word." ”

Wu Meixiu frowned. Sensitively aware that there should be a situation inside. Snorted, "When did you get more of this rule?" ”

"Your Majesty explained, all people and others have to go in and pass it on, otherwise the slaves have a hundred dares and can't stop the queen." The father-in-law wiped the cold sweat on his face and said.

"Inside, someone?" Wu Mei pricked up her ears and faintly heard the woman's laughter, and her father-in-law turned pale and didn't know how to answer.

A helpless look appeared on Wu Mei's face. It seems that he is still too affectionate, how can the Son of Heaven be dedicated? But that's fine. Save yourself the hassle.

Wu Mei's heart was sour, and she wanted to cry aggrievedly, what woman in the world doesn't want her husband to love her all her life, but in the back court, it is too difficult to do this.

"Forget it, I'll go back to this palace without notifying Your Majesty."

"Xie Niangniang!" The father-in-law thanked him inexplicably.

But it's no wonder that Your Majesty has a new love, and the people are very uncomfortable, and they are naturally a little panicked in the face of the queen. Wu Mei retreated gently, it was quiet outside, but the laughter of the women in the room in the night was a little harsh.

Although it is not true to hear it from a distance, it can be heard that the laughter is unscrupulous, even a little inappropriate. Hey, which woman did Your Majesty fall in love with, and why did he hide it from himself?

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, a small figure appeared not far away, followed by two palace maids.

"Auntie!" There was a sweet child's voice, and Wu Meiden smiled, it was his niece, his sister's daughter, Helan Minyue.

I have to say that the children of the Helan family are very outstanding, according to the current words, they look very European, with deep eyes, long eyelashes, sharp edges and corners, very eye-catching, unlike most women in the Central Plains, with soft lines and plump bodies.

"Yue'er, it's so late, why did you still come out?" Wu Mei stepped forward to take Helan Minyue's little hand with pity, if her daughter was still alive, maybe she could still play with this cousin.

"Auntie, I came out to find my mother, by the way, did you see her?" Helan Minyue asked with a raised face, the soft moonlight sprinkled on it, reflecting a thin halo, which made the little guy exquisitely clear and jade-carved.

"Auntie hasn't seen your mother for a few days, why did you come here to look for it, maybe it's at your grandmother's." Wu Mei said with a smile.

"No, my mother comes to my uncle every day, or my uncle goes to find her, and the two of them must be together!" Helan Minyue was unobtrusive, so frightened that the two palace maids behind her knelt down with a pop, and their bodies trembled.

Wu Mei's face changed color suddenly, and she couldn't help but let go of Helan Minyue's hand, and said coldly: "Yue'er, in the future, you must be honored to be Your Majesty, not uncle, remember that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers." ”

"Oh, Yue'er knows." Wu Meigang wanted to praise her, but she didn't expect Helan Minyue to say something that made her very chilling: "But my mother said that I don't need to call my aunt the queen, because my aunt can have today, it's all because my mother married my father in the first place!" ”

Like five thunderbolts, Wu Mei's eyes splashed with hot tears, the reason why she has come to this day is because she has endured more than ten years of deep loneliness, as well as several years of penance in the cold temple, and has been framed again and again, until now there are still people who want to drive themselves out of the palace, or even put them to death and then quickly, what does this have to do with Wu Shun?

"Presumptuous!" Wu Mei shouted angrily, and the palace maids pulled Helan Minyue to kneel, but she stubbornly straightened her neck and asked, "Auntie, am I wrong?" ”

Wu Mei couldn't bear to lose her temper with a child, so she suppressed her anger and said, "My aunt can not be called the queen, but she can't be called Your Majesty." ”

"Auntie, are you old and long-winded!" Helan Minyue was a little impatient, pushed Wu Mei away and jumped to find her mother, that look like a daughter going to her mother, father?

Wu Mei looked at Helan Minyue's back in a daze, and at this time she finally understood why the voice in the palace was so familiar, it turned out to be her sister. I was tired and tired, and my husband secretly did such a foolish thing with his sister!

However, who made his husband the emperor, all the subjects of the whole world belonged to him, especially the woman he fancied, and he didn't need to greet anyone at all.

"Don't tell outsiders about what happened tonight." Wu Mei coldly gave the order.

"But Miss Helan?"

"This palace is talking about you!" Two cold lights shot out of Wu Mei's eyes, which frightened the two palace maids to keep hitting their mouths, and repeatedly swore that they would never say it.

Wu Mei was annoyed and wanted to rush in to find the two of them to reason, but she didn't take a few steps, and finally held back. The emperor is rare to you, you are a treasure, and even the power is above the minister, if you can't kick your nose in the face, otherwise you will be the next queen and queen!

Wu Mei left with hatred, but the evil breath in her chest was really difficult to swallow, and finally went to Meng Lanxuan.

"Paulie, how did you come here so late?" Yuan Ziyan saw that Wu Mei's face was wrong, and asked with concern.

"I'm too bored, I want to stay at my stepmother's place tonight." Wu Mei understated.

There was anger and grievance in his eyes, tears were shining, Yuan Ziyan had already heard some rumors, sighed, beckoned to her, and motioned for Wu Mei to sit beside him.

"Hezhi'er is angry, right?"

"Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, how can I, a daughter from a businessman, blame him!" Wu Mei said angrily, but tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she hurriedly turned her face to the side.

"Bolly, do you know why I have never married?" Yuan Ziyan asked faintly.

"The stepmother is a master of the world, so she naturally does not pay attention to the affairs of men and women."

"Who said that the stepmother is also a woman, and she wants to have someone to rely on the most. At first, I was in a hurry to go home, so I didn't want to be involved, and then I wanted to let go completely, but I couldn't rest assured of the people I cared about. Decades sounds like a long time, but in fact, when you really wait for the past, you will find that it is just a flick of your fingers, and it has passed before you have time to reminisce. Yuan Ziyan sighed.

"It was Bollywood who reminded my stepmother of sadness."

"Not exactly. Paula, you can't change this society, can you order that husbands and wives in the world are loyal to each other and can only be monogamous, is that realistic? ”

"Mother-in-law, I know I'm too greedy. I already have everything a woman would like to have, and I can't ask for anything more. ”

"Nope." Yuan Ziyan gently took Wu Mei's hand and said in a firm tone: "Paula, I mean, there are many things to do in this world. In our family, husbands and sons are a part of it, not all of it. Maybe you can try to focus on the things you are interested in, only if you continue to grow stronger, you can be proud of the world, and then no one will compete with you. ”

Wu Mei didn't seem to understand, but she couldn't help but ask: "Stepmother, aren't you the most advocacy of inaction, I also think that it is precisely because of the indisputable mother-in-law that you have eternal love." ”

"Hehe, you are different from me, my so-called inaction is an excuse, but you are burdened with a heavy responsibility to help Zhi'er govern this big country."

"Stepmother." Wu Mei buried her head in Yuan Ziyan's arms and choked up: "Although Baolai has never comprehended the deep meaning of his stepmother, every time he talks about his heart, he can sweep away the haze in his heart, which is very relaxing. ”

"Wu Mei, open your heart and recognize your mission. Your husband is not a husband, your sister is not a sister, and even yourself will eventually become not yourself. Yuan Ziyan said softly, Wu Mei nodded, although she couldn't understand the meaning, but a heart that was jealous and impetuous for the wind quickly calmed down. (To be continued......)
