In the magnificent and majestic palace, the ministers were divided, and a minister was kneeling on the ground, expressing his thoughts with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is feasible to make peace with relatives! Now that my Celestial Empire has just ended the war, it is the time when we need time and energy to cultivate and recuperate, if we don't agree to make peace with the Liang State, what if the other party is angry and sends troops to attack? The most important point is that the Celestial Empire has formed an alliance with Liang and Qin, and it will have one more reliable ally in the future......"

Lu Li didn't even have the patience to listen to what he said, so he directly interrupted his words: "The game is in our hands." ”

Qi Sai is the most favored son of the Emperor of Liang, although the monarch did not directly crown Qi Sai as the crown prince, but in the Liang State, whether in the court or in the opposition, almost everyone thinks that his race will be the next monarch, and the monarch of Liang has always required his race according to this standard, he does not have no other son, but it is too difficult to cultivate a prince, and it takes a lot of time to spend energy and financial resources, and the most lacking thing is time for the monarch of Liang Guojun now!

Therefore, Lu Li dared to say firmly: "As long as Qisai is still in Jiang Country, they will not send troops." ”

With just one sentence, Lu Li blocked the mouths of the courtiers, and the person with the most ugly face was the minister who took the initiative to stand up and persuade Lu Li to make peace with the princess of Liang just now, at this time he was not standing or sitting, it was really embarrassing.

Lu Li left him in place for a while before letting him go back.

When the minister walked into the queue, Lu Li immediately frowned and spoke: "I know your dissatisfaction with me and the empress, because you have never seen an emperor with only one person in the three palaces and six courts, so I will not blame your prejudice." However, that doesn't mean that you stand up three times or twice, and I don't care about it, after all, people have tempers, and I am no exception. ”

When the ministers said this, they all subconsciously shivered.

I heard Lu Li say with a solemn expression: "I really don't mean that to Princess Lily of the Valley. With a chance turn of his eyes, Lu Li saw an official standing in a conspicuous place, and said with a complicated expression, "You always praise Princess Lily of the Valley for her appearance, but you have never carefully observed the noble ladies in the capital, as far as I know, the eldest daughter of Nanyang Bo is more outstanding than Princess Lily of the Valley, you always stare at Princess Lily of the Valley and praise her appearance, have you ever thought about others?" ”

I really haven't thought about it......

After Lu Li's words fell, almost everyone in the court gasped, this was the first time Lu Li mentioned a woman other than the queen in front of the courtiers, and it was a sincere compliment! I don't know what kind of appearance that person has, if you have the opportunity another day, you must meet that person!

Nanyang Bo, who was inexplicably named by Lu Li, only felt a chill down his spine.

Although he is an upstart in the court, he has always been very low-key, and he never deliberately shows himself, and he doesn't know why Lu Li turned his attention to himself this time!

Thinking of being targeted by other ministers who wanted to marry their daughter into the palace but couldn't do so in the future, and thinking that his daughter was going to be married into the palace, Nanyang Bo couldn't be happy. It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the current queen mother is such an intolerable character, if her daughter marries in the past, she may have to suffer many grievances!

Lu Li didn't know that the one or two sentences he casually mentioned actually set off waves in the hearts of the courtiers, he just wanted to shut them up and stop talking about Princess Lily of the Valley in the future, so Lu Li didn't dwell on this issue for too long, he turned his face, looked at the waiter who wanted to speak and seemed to want to report something, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”

The chamberlain stepped forward and explained the situation in a low voice.

It turned out that the guards sent by Lu Li to monitor Princess Lily of the Valley had just sent news that Princess Lily of the Valley had just woken up from a coma, and the first thing she said after she woke up was to see Lu Li, and she said that there was something important to report to Lu Li.

Lu Li furrowed his brows: "She must see me?" ”

"Yes, the guard who came to deliver the message said that Princess Lily of the Valley insisted on seeing Your Majesty...... If Your Majesty wants to meet him, if he doesn't want to, the slave and maid will arrange for someone to go over and refuse. ”

As soon as the waiter's voice fell, Lu Li remembered what An Xiabai said last night, and also remembered her sympathy for Princess Lily of the Valley, at this time, An Xiabai should really want to see Princess Lily of the Valley, right? There are no major matters in the court that need Lu Li to deal with now, and there are many capable people who can help, so Lu Li has no scruples.

"You go and ask the queen to let her go first, and I will go later."

The chamberlain was immediately stunned, Your Majesty, what's going on? Princess Lily of the Valley has a heart for Lu Li, almost the entire palace knows, and even some well-informed people outside the palace have heard of it, the first thing Princess Lily of the Valley does after she wakes up is to see Lu Li, and it is clear that she wants to cultivate a relationship with him, and at this time, she actually let An Xiabai go with her? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make yourself feel bad?

The chamberlain whispered: "The queen mother should not like Princess Lily of the Valley......."

Lu Li glared at the little guy: "I want you to do something?" Do your part! ”

"Slave understands!"

After the chamberlain dropped this sentence, he immediately took his own steps and hurriedly left the main hall, while Lu Li, who remained in the main hall, looked at all the officials present with a cold gaze before speaking: "Do you Aiqing still have something to do?" ”

The ministers looked at each other and bowed their heads one after another.

They just wanted to start playing, and they didn't dare to tell Lu Li now, the chamberlain left in such a hurry just now, and they knew that there was something in the harem at a glance...... Now there is only An Xiabai alone in the harem, if they delay the emperor, doesn't that mean that they will directly oppose An Xiabai? Who has the guts?

The silence of the ministers made Lu Li very satisfied: "Since there is nothing to do, let's retreat." ”

"Weichen sends your majesty!"

After sending Lu Li away, the ministers in the court were immediately divided into two groups of people, one group of people glared at Nanyang Bo viciously, and then left the palace in a hurry, while the other group of people surrounded Nanyang Bo, like enthusiastic bees when they saw the blooming flowers, buzzing one by one, it was really annoying!

Nanyang Bo suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and squeezed out an embarrassed and polite smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, please let me go!" ”

"Uncle Nanyang, speaking of which you and I have the same surname, we can be regarded as fellow villagers, we have known each other for so long, why have we never heard you mention your young lady, dare to ask Ling Ai Fangling? Have you ever promised someone? If I have time, how about I go to the house in the future? ”

Nanyang Bo said his daughter's age with a complicated expression, and immediately someone took advantage of the situation to speak.

"Uncle Nanyang, your girl's age is about the same age as her daughter, why don't I let her go to the house another day?"

As the father of the only woman who has been praised by Lu Li, Nanyang Bo feels that he is under a lot of pressure, in all fairness, he doesn't want his daughter to marry into the palace, but if the emperor insists on her, what can he do? It's really ironic to think about it, some officials racked their brains and wanted to send their daughters to the palace, but Lu Li didn't fall in love with them, but fell in love with his ordinary and ordinary daughter, which is really a trick!

When the courtiers stammered Nanyang Bo and gave up their old faces to get acquainted, An Xiabai had just received the news.

"Duke Lily of the Valley wants to see Your Majesty, what am I going to do?"

The attendant who came to report the news put on a smiling face: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty specially asked the slave maid to invite you over, because Your Majesty cares about your feelings in your heart!" His Majesty knows that Princess Lily of the Valley has a heart for her, but His Majesty has no heart for Princess Lily of the Valley. ”

An Xiabai was slightly stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the truth, if it wasn't for the sake of avoiding suspicion, why would Lu Li send someone to Kunning Palace to invite him, a person who was not treated by Princess Lily of the Valley? He definitely didn't want any suspicion between the two of them, and such a dedication made An Xiabai quite moved.

Lu Li is indeed sincere to her!

The heart was warm, like a flower blooming on the heart, and the corners of Anxia's white lips also evoked a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll go over here."

When An Xiabai came to the palace where Princess Lily of the Valley lived, Lu Li happened to arrive in a hurry, because he was in a hurry this way, and his sideburns were even a little messy, but even if he was like this, he had an unusual charm in An Xiabai's eyes.

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry?" She stepped forward, and her slender white hand gently brushed away the broken hair on Lu Li's forehead.

Lu Li replied with a gentle smile: "Isn't it afraid that the queen will wait too long after she comes, as soon as the early dynasty ended, I came over, and as soon as Princess Lily of the Valley woke up, she said that she wanted to see me, and also said that she had something important to report to me, and I don't know what she was going to say, let's go and see first." “

Lu Li said, and naturally took An Xiabai's hand.

When the two walked hand in hand to the palace, the palace people who followed behind looked at their backs and suddenly had a feeling, as if those two people existed alone in another world.

A palace man led the way, and when he saw the emperor coming, he immediately opened the door, and at the same time, a burst of fragrance came from the palace.

An Xiabai asked about the taste, and was immediately stunned: "If I didn't guess wrong...... This seems to be the taste of the secret roast chicken in the palace, right? It's not time to eat yet, and Princess Lily of the Valley is weak and has just woken up, why do you want her to eat something so much that has you? ”

The maid wanted to cry without tears and said, "It's not that the slaves and maids deliberately want Princess Lily of the Valley to eat food that is not suitable for her, this is Princess Lily of the Valley herself!" ”

It turned out that the second thing Princess Lily of the Valley said after waking up was to have people bring a lot of delicious food, including this roast chicken.......

The mood of doubt suddenly filled An Xiabai's heart.

Why hadn't I heard of Princess Lily of the Valley being so edible before, could it be that when she was locked up in prison before, someone withheld her food?
