Since it is above board, why do you have to get the Heart Cultivation Hall to say it....... Hmm."

Wu Mingkong was covered by Fang Xiu in the middle of speaking, and he didn't say a word until he was carried back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Arrived at the Heart Cultivation Temple.

Wu Mingkong's crimson face showed a touch of grievance, and he looked at Fang Xiu pitifully, and said, "Obviously, we are a couple, why is it not me who is called Mrs. Fang."

Side.

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the empress, with a touch of distress in her eyes.

It is said that he spits the truth after drinking, and for a person like His Majesty who is not strong enough to drink, he can only say the thoughts buried in his heart when he is slightly drunk.

His Majesty obviously cares so much about the status between him and Fang Xiang, but for various reasons, he can only hide it.

Perhaps, in His Majesty's heart, there has always been an invisible-to-face affair between her and Fang Xiang.

That's why he often shows off his might like a child in front of Li Yinyue.

Fang Xiu was also stunned when he heard the words of the little empress.

He was silent for a few breaths, stepped forward and took the delicate body of the little empress in his arms, and said softly: "The important thing is that in the heart of the minister, Your Majesty has always been the minister's wife."

Wu Mingkong's watery eyes looked at Fang Xiu, snorted, and said angrily, "What's the point of you thinking like this alone, what I want is that everyone in the world knows."

After speaking, he nested in Fang Xiu's arm again, and hummed, "You just said that there is wine in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the wine is for me!"

As he spoke, his arms fluttered wildly, no different from a child with a temper tantrum.

Fang Xiu looked at her, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, looked at Lin Wan'er, and ordered, "You send someone to Jumbo Zhai to fetch a bottle of the softest wine."

Lin Wan'er wanted to agree, but when she saw the little empress who was still sprinkling, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

As His Majesty's personal maid, she usually stays by His Majesty's side at times like this.

"You don't have to worry here, Benxiang will take care of Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu soothed.

Lin Wan'er was relieved at this time, and bowed dignifiedly, and said, "The slave and maid will go now."

With that, turn around and leave.

After she left, there were only two people left in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fang Xiu and the Little Empress.

After making a fuss, the little empress seemed to be a little tired, nesting quietly in Fang Xiu's arms, her eyes closed, and her breathing evenly.

Fang Xiu looked at the delicate face that was close at hand, and a warm current surged through his heart.

With a little force, he picked her up horizontally, put her on the dragon couch, and coaxed her softly while calling Madame.

In just a moment, Wu Mingkong fell asleep peacefully, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and he looked quiet.

In the Taihe Palace.

Many officials were eating, drinking, and chatting happily, and after a while, they remembered to pay attention to the etiquette in front of the king, and subconsciously raised their eyes to look ahead, but suddenly found that His Majesty and Fang Xiang were gone.

There is only one empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty wearing a dragon robe, cold and noble, and she is also the wife of Fang Xiang, Li Yingyue.

"Huh? Why haven't you seen Your Majesty and Fang Xiang?"

Someone was drunk, looked at the stage, and asked curiously.

Someone next to him said, "I heard that I went to the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"What are you going to do in the Heart Cultivation Temple?"

The man looked puzzled.

The core of the Fang Party, Zhou Zheng, the young master of Honglu Temple, glanced at him, and said coldly: "What are Fang Xiang and His Majesty doing, can you also ask?"

When the man heard this, he suddenly sobered up and did not dare to ask any more questions.

Stage.

Li Yingyue sat on the dragon chair of the same style as Da Zhou, as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't heard anything, and was eating quietly.

She has lived in Xiangguofu for a year, and she has seen all kinds of things.

Anything that Fang Xiu and other women did could no longer arouse her emotions

The slightest fluctuation.

A dinner lasted an hour.

Without Fang Xiang and His Majesty there, the guests were quite happy, and when they left the palace, they all supported each other.

There were also some officials who were too drunk to drink, and they were directly fainted halfway, but fortunately, the palace guards watched him and sent him home.

Otherwise, in this weather, I am afraid that I will freeze to death outside.

Following.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Wu Mingkong slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his brain was a little confused.

"Hmm...... Wan'er."

Wu Mingkong covered his head, trying to remember what happened last night, but he found nothing.

Her first reaction was to ask her most trusted personal maid, Lin Wan'er.

"Your Majesty keeps saying something, in this life, he only loves his ministers, except for ministers, His Majesty doesn't trust anyone, but I didn't expect that after Your Majesty woke up, the first name he shouted was Lin Wan'er, and the minister was really chilling......

Fang Xiu's lazy and slightly flirtatious voice sounded.

The little empress was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came.

Fang Xiu, dressed in silk clothes, stood there, pouring tea and said with a smile.

Apparently he had just crawled out of the bed.

"You...... You...... I...... I ......"

When Wu Mingkong heard what Fang Xiu said, he stammered in fright.

Taking a deep breath, he stabilized his emotions and asked, "Did I really say that?"

Fang Xiu walked to the side of the dragon couch, handed the tea at a moderate temperature to the little empress, and pretended to be confused, "What do you say?"

The little empress blushed and whispered, "Say...... I love you the most......

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's natural, Your Majesty not only said it, but also said it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials."

[Mood +5000]

An icy system prompt sounds.

A strong sense of shame swept over him, making the little empress cover her face and speechless.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu found it interesting, and said, "Not only that, but Your Majesty also wants to call Your Majesty Mrs. Fang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, otherwise you will be dismissed from the position of prime minister......

"You, don't say it."

Wu Mingkong covered his face, already in despair.

On weekdays, she wouldn't be able to do such a thing anyway.

But drinking alcohol is not necessarily the case.

The last time she drank was when she was in Yirenju, at that time she did something shocking, and in front of Fang Xiu, who was still opposed to her at that time, she criticized him.

Now, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he did such a thing and said such a thing.

She...... She's not alive anymore!

Wu Mingkong thought so, his little head hit the pillow, and he said in a trembling voice, "I don't live anymore!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu couldn't help but laugh lightly.

"Mrs. Fang really trusts her husband, and whatever her husband says, Mrs. will believe it."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he raised his eyes suddenly, staring at Fang Xiu with big watery eyes, and said, "You mean, I didn't say those words, did I?"

After speaking, there was a look of anticipation, hoping to get a positive answer from Fang Xiu's mouth.

It's a pity that Fang Xiu shook his head lightly and said with a serious face, "Your Majesty said it."

"It's over."

Wu Ming chuckled in his heart, and fell into despair again.

This time.

Fang Xiu smiled again and added, "But it wasn't in front of the civil and military officials, but in front of the ministers."

I was afraid that the little empress would think too much, and then said, "At that time, Your Majesty was lying on the dragon couch, and there was only one minister in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart finally fell.

If just those

The words were really said in front of hundreds of officials.

She really didn't know how to face the hundred officials from now on.

At a certain moment just now, she had already thought about the Zen cultivation position.

Rather than die, it is better to give him the throne to sit.

"What does Madame mean by this relieved expression? When I was in the Taihe Hall before, Madame wasn't very powerful, and she frantically provoked Li Yingyue, so she almost said in front of her, I want your man."

Fang Xiu approached the little empress and said with a smile.

Wu Mingkong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Don't shout! Your wife is not me, it is Li Yingyue, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, please call me Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam didn't seem to say that last night."

Wu Mingkong said, "What did I say last night? I don't remember."

Fang Xiu said, "Since Madam has forgotten, then I will help Madame recall her memories."

As he spoke, he kissed the little empress's pink lips and pounced.

"Uh-huh......"

Wu Mingkong pretended to struggle for a while, then chose to give up and went with him.

............

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.

The cloth village under the jurisdiction of Zhenbao Zhai has sold out all the cloth that was woven years ago.

The distribution shops in various places submitted reports, and after statistics, the profit of a year was just double that of last year!

Li Yingyue sat on the chair of the Zhenbao Zhai shop, looked at the statistics, and let out a long breath.

She forgot to sleep and eat for half a year, and finally met Fang Xiu's requirements and doubled the profits of Zhenbao Zhai.

Although the business in Wu is still struggling, the business in Zhou is triumphant, and the business in the local Qianguo is stable and improving, and Jumbo Zhai is the fastest rising among many similar shops.

As long as there are no major accidents, in the next ten years, Zhenbao Zhai will be one of the largest shops in Qianzhou and Zhou.

Of course, none of this matters to her.

The important thing is that she was away from home for almost two years and was finally able to return home.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she took the account book of Zhenbao Zhai and returned to Xiangguo Mansion, and she was in a hurry like never before.

Arrived at the Xiangguo Mansion.

When the servants saw her, they all saluted respectfully: "Madam."

Compared with previous years, these subordinates are much more respectful to Li Yinyue.

First, they know that in addition to the old man's wife, there is also a layer of identity, that is, the empress of the Great Zhou Empire.

Although he has no real power, for them, the emperor is always high and noble.

The second is that in the past six months, to be precise, after Mrs. was on an errand in Zhenbao Zhai, the lord's attitude towards Mrs. has eased a lot.

Up and down, they naturally don't dare to have the slightest slack.

Li Yinyue's status has risen, and even her status among the maids with Tao'er has risen a lot.

Of course.

Li Yingyue also didn't care about these, all she cared about was two words - go home.

Walk through a secluded promenade to an elegant courtyard.

Li Yingyue finally met the owner of this luxurious mansion, who was also her nominal husband, the prime minister of Daqian, and the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Xiu.

I haven't seen you for half a month.

He was as energetic and expensive as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that day.

"Fang Xiu."

Li Yingyue stopped, stood in place, looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes, and called out.

Fang Xiu, who was feeding the white tiger, heard the voice and raised his eyes to look at her.

With just one glance, Fang Xiu understood her purpose and asked, "Jumbo Zhai's profits have doubled?"

Li Yingyue nodded, pinched the account book in his hand, and said coldly: "Every account is well documented, if you don't believe it, you can hand it over to the Royal Bank and let Daji's people check it."

Fang Xiu threw out a piece of mutton

, Feng Qingyun said lightly: "There is nothing unbelievable, forgive you for not having the courage to deceive your true appearance in this kind of thing."

After speaking, he clapped his hands, stood up, looked at her, and said, "I have been living in the house for the past few days, so I will pack up well, and in five days at the latest, I will leave for Jinnan."

When Li Yinyue heard this, she was slightly stunned.

So agreed?

She originally thought that Fang Xiu would change his method to embarrass her.

Unexpectedly, things were completely different from what I imagined.

After Fang Xiu finished feeding the tiger, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yingyue, seeing that she was still standing in place, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked, "What else do you have to do?"

Li Yingyue hesitated for a few seconds and said, "After I leave, who will take over Zhenbao Zhai?"

Fang Xiu said lightly, "Da Ji has already made arrangements, so you don't have to worry."

It stands to reason that she should be very happy to hear this result.

But maybe she has been busy in Jumbo Zhai for a long time, and when she heard that Jumbo Zhai, who had been devoted to it, was about to have nothing to do with herself, she couldn't help but feel a little empty in her heart.

"Jumbo Zhai's business in Wu is still blocked, and the tariffs they want are ......."

Before Li Yingyue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

"This matter, the court meeting after the year, the court will deal with it, and it has nothing to do with you."

When Li Yingyue heard this, she fell silent.

Suddenly idle, she was really a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

Seeing that she hadn't left yet, Fang Xiu asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Li Yingyue said, "The branch of Zhenbao Zhai in Huizhou......

"I didn't ask you about Zhenbaozhai, it's your own business, what kind of carriage do you want to take to Jinnan, and how many guards do you have? Although you and I are not husband and wife, your identity is special, as long as you make a request, this appearance will try to satisfy you."

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yingyue and said with a straight face.

"I ......"

Li Yingyue's cold eyes showed a hint of confusion, and she didn't know how to answer.

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that when you go back to Jinnan, you should use the Son of Heaven to drive, but the fine works of the Yan Kingdom still penetrate all over the Zhou Kingdom, and they cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Therefore, according to the original view, it is enough to use the car of the Xiangguo Mansion to drive comfortably, and at the same time, it will not attract assassins."

"As for the guards, we will arrange them at our discretion, and we will never let your safety be guaranteed."

From beginning to end, Fang Xiu's tone was very flat, but he considered many things that Li Yingyue had not considered before.

This moment.

Li Yingyue finally realized that Fang Xiu's original plan to let him go back to Jinnan was not a whim, but a long-term plan.

It's just that she didn't understand why Fang Xiu, who had originally planned to imprison herself for the rest of her life, suddenly changed her mind.

Could it be because she encountered the assassin of Yan Kingdom at that time, she did not fall into the well, but wanted to save him?
