The corner of Feng Sibei's mouth smiled, but he still maintained his graceful demeanor. I still want to keep such a smile again, and ask something out of Shangguan Li's mouth.

But Shangguan Li was already frowning impatiently.

"I have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, if Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

After speaking, without waiting for Feng Sibei to respond, he bowed slightly, did not get into the carriage again, and walked directly to the palace gate.

"County Lord."

Feng Sibei hurriedly shouted.

Shangguan Li rolled her eyes in her heart, and her steps paused slightly.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, the county lord is careful all the way."

Feng Sibei also knew that if he continued to entangle, he might cause Shangguan Li's dissatisfaction, as long as he made a good relationship with her in the eyes of those who were secretly staring at Shangguan Li, his goal would be temporarily achieved.

For the rest, take your time.

He took a step back, and Shangguan Li also turned his head and smiled back.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

Then enter the Royal Palace.

Knowing that Shangguan Li wanted to see him, the emperor waved his hand.

"Xuan."

It was as if she had expected this trip for a long time.

Yangxin Palace, the early dynasty has just come down, the emperor has changed into court clothes, and is teasing a bird that can learn to speak from Xiliangjin.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty......"

As soon as Shangguan Li stepped into the Heart Nourishing Palace, he heard an ear of "Long live Your Majesty".

The ever-bright lamp was lit very brightly, and the emperor stood in the hall, followed by Gao Gonggong with a smile on his face.

Seeing her, the emperor immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Shaoyang, come, excuse me. I heard that you've been sick again recently, so come and let me take a look, okay? It seems to have lost some weight again. ”

Shangguan Li bent down and saluted, straight to the point.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it's already good. Shao Yang came this time for the sake of His Majesty's holy decree a few days ago. ”

"Oh?"

The enthusiastic smile on the emperor's face eased, and his expression calmed down.

"In the past two days, I have dealt with a lot of people who have objections to this matter, Shaoyang, do you also think that I have done something inappropriate?"

"Nope."

Of course, the emperor will not be wrong, Shangguan Lixin said.

"Your Majesty's will naturally has its own deep meaning, and Shao Yang does not dare to speculate on it. Therefore, Shao Yang will take the initiative to tell the world, saying that Shao Yang is unworthy and can't stand such a rich reward. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Heart Cultivation Hall fell into a brief silence.

Gonggong Gao's hand trembled slightly, and he said in his heart, Isn't this the county lord just opposing His Majesty's holy decree?

In the past few days, a lot of blood has been shed for this holy decree.

After a short period of surprise, the emperor's face sank quickly.

"Shaoyang, do you know what you're talking about?"

Shangguan Li, of course, knew what he was talking about.

She looked at the emperor's somewhat frightening-looking face, and smiled coldly in her heart.

She didn't think much about it when she first received this holy decree, but after knowing what kind of deviant thing it was to knight a woman in the Great Zhou, she understood the emperor's intentions.

He didn't really want to give her this honor in the first place.

Since the spring hunt, Shangguan Li's reputation has been rising day by day, whether among the people of the capital or among the courtiers.

But these accumulated reputations are almost nothing left because of this holy decree, if it continues to ferment, a few more people will die in the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor will punish a few more officials for this.

At that time, the resentment in everyone's hearts will only come to her, not to the emperor who is high above.

Shangguan Li raised his head, his eyes clear and bright.

"Shao Yang knows what he is talking about, and His Majesty's thoughts Shao Yang has already understood, so he hopes that His Majesty will retract this will."

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said slowly.

"Do you really understand?"

"If the knighthood is really done, it must be because Shao Yang lacks ability and has a mental deficit."

Shangguan Li said lightly.

"Isn't this what Your Majesty wants?"

There are obviously many lights burning in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and in early summer, the weather is already very hot.

However, Gao You, who was in the temple, felt a faint chill on his back.

There was another unbearable silence, and the emperor sat on a high seat, his face was drowned in light and shadow, and he couldn't see it really, but it was precisely because of this blur that he had a bit more majesty that was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

If you are an ordinary person, you must have been overwhelmed by that momentum at this moment.

But Shangguan Li is not an ordinary person.

She stood in the hall with her back straight, as if she had not come to ask the emperor to retract her will, but to wait for a predetermined result.

Extremely sure.

"If Shao Yang thinks so, then it should be so."

After a long time, the emperor suddenly said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the emperor was relieved. She bowed deeply, and her voice carried a coldness that seemed to dispel the fire of May.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is a day worthy of being recorded in the history books.

The county lord of Shaoyang entered the palace alone, made a statement, wept blood every word, and said that he was not qualified for this honor that had never been seen in a thousand years, and even threatened with his own life.

The emperor has always been very fond of the lord of Shaoyang, and in the end he really took back his destiny and only kept the princess gift of the lord of Shaoyang.

Soon after this new will came down, Shangguan Li returned to the days of living in seclusion. No matter who comes, it's the words "closed doors".

However, in the eyes of everyone, this kind of situation where the reward that has been received is taken back because of some big mistake.

In her case, it is unheard of to be taken back without enjoying any benefits.

Although she took the initiative to bring up this matter herself, the reputation that spread out may not be good.

Therefore, everyone speculated that it was difficult for the county lord of Shaoyang to face the facts, so he hid for the time being, which can be regarded as understandable.

Thirteen incense, a unique box for Xuanyuan Night.

Shangguan Li, who was hiding in the world's mouth, was sitting leisurely, sipping the best Tianxiang tea, while playing a few games of chess with Shen Baiyu.

After she lost a son, Shen Baiyu smiled.

"Everyone in the world says that the county lord of Shaoyang must be so remorseful that her intestines are even green, who would have thought that she was playing chess leisurely in this thirteen incense?"

Shangguan Li smiled at the corner of his eyes.

"Don't make fun of me, this time it's really the emperor's chess master. Although I don't care much about these false names, I have to admit that I was calculated by the emperor. ”

Shen Baiyu sighed and said as he fell.

"It's good for the county lord to look at it with a normal heart, the affairs of the court are changing rapidly, so it's better to relax."

Shangguan Li took a sip of tea and smiled shallowly when he heard the words.

"With a friend like you, it's hard not to relax."
