Chapter 355 The Xiao family army will win!

Half a month passed quickly, and Xiao Ning led his ministers to send the army out to fight.

Li Yuan, dressed in black armor, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists towards Xiao Ning and said, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust when I go!"

The soldiers behind him responded one after another.

"The Xiao family army will win!"

"The Xiao family army will win!"

Xiao Ning smiled and raised her hand, and the deafening sound stopped as she pressed her palm down.

A eunuch brought wine.

Xiao Ning took it and toasted with wine, and the soldiers raised their bowls and drank together.

"I await your victorious return!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The ministers were shocked when they saw Xiao Ning's army looking at them with determined eyes.

They still don't understand why these people are willing to follow a woman wholeheartedly.

I don't care about beauty, power, or money...

Yuzhu stood beside Xiao Ning to see him off. Looking at the young general in black armor, worry flashed in her eyes.

The young general saw it, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. As he turned around, he silently said, "Wait until I come back."

Seeing this, Yuzhu turned her head away, her cheeks slightly red.

She couldn't help but think of the day when he blocked her in the alley and told her his feelings.

"Miss Yuzhu, I'm not saying this to force you to agree to me. I just want to tell you that I'm attracted to you. I hope you can consider me when choosing a husband."

"I may not be as handsome as those gentlemen, but I can guarantee that I will never restrain you in the future. You can travel freely as you wish."

After hearing this, Yuzhu blushed again and again.

She still didn't understand and asked in a low voice: "Why would you do this to me..."

Li Yuan smiled and moved closer to her. "Because Miss Yuzhu is very nice, it is my honor to meet her."

Yuzhu couldn't help feeling shy after hearing this.

"Am I really that good..."

"If Miss Yuzhu was not a good person, how could Li decide her life together at first sight?"

"If you are willing to marry me, could you please wait for me for a while? I will complete your Majesty's mission and return to the capital as soon as possible..."

Yuzhu: "...Who wants to marry you? I haven't agreed yet!"

Yuzhu looked at the army going away and thought, since she was already an old girl, it would be okay to wait another year or two.

Xiao Ning looked at Yuzhu's expression and thought that Li Yuan was quite fast.

This was taken by Yuzhu.

…

After Li Yuan left, Xiao Ning was not idle either. The couple worked together and led the officials they promoted to revise the old laws and write new laws.

They gradually eroded the power of the various families stationed in various departments in Shengjing.

Either bribery or coercion...

Compiling laws and regulations is a lengthy process, so Xiao Ning was not in a hurry. He simply stated his requirements and let the officials complete them.

While Xiao Ning was practicing Tai Chi in an orderly manner with the old men in the court, he was also looking forward to the start of the next year's spring examination.

The imperial examination notice had already been spread to various places and announced to the world.

Just wait until the Dragon Gate opens next year.

As long as fresh blood is injected into the court, she can carry out drastic reforms.

After spending some time together, Xiao Ning also discovered that these old guys did have abilities, but they were just too greedy.

But it doesn't matter, they will soon be unable to be greedy...

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

This year is the first year after the establishment of the new dynasty, and the preparations are very lively.

Zhang Zhi also received a letter saying that the rebels had been defeated and that they could return to the capital after the spring.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

When Li Yuan and Zhang Dashu return to Beijing, the new world will officially belong to Xiao Ning.

The emperor and his ministers had a great time at the New Year's Eve banquet.

The minister said that he had some singing and dancing to offer, and Xiao Ning agreed without a second thought.

Everyone is ready, it would be a shame not to take a look.

When the music started and a group of flashy men came up, the smile on Xiao Ning's face froze.

Grass.

This bastard wants to harm her!

If you're going to sing and dance, then you're going to sing and dance. Why are you dressed so indecently...

She glanced at Shang Xi guiltily, but saw him looking at her with a half-smile.

Xiao Ning: “…”

She lowered her head and ate the food silently.

Shang Xi filled her glass with wine and said, "Lord Lian has good intentions. Your Majesty, why not take a look?"

Xiao Ning: “…”

Does she dare to look?

If she dared to raise her head, this man would definitely not let her off.

It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to make trouble with him.

Xiao Ning picked up the wine Shang Xi poured for her and drank it in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, but the song and dance are not good?"

Someone spoke.

Xiao Ning said, "I don't know whether the song and dance are good or not, but you have to know that I am henpecked. Don't do these things in the future. It will easily cause a fire in my backyard."

Ministers: “…”

As he spoke, Xiao Ning glanced at the men who were dancing.

Because of their conversation, they stopped performing and looked at her with panic in their eyes.

They are all poor people...

Xiao Ning paused with his fingers gripping the wine glass, and said, "I'll keep these people."

Ministers: “…”

Isn't it said that you are henpecked?

However, Xiao Ning was willing to keep the people, which sent them a good signal.

As long as she likes men, it would be fine for them to give her a few male concubines in the future.

As long as there are people in the harem.

They would be able to understand her thoughts.

The wind blows in my ears again...

The ministers smiled knowingly.

The ministers who had presented the song and dance attended and saluted, saying, "To be favored by Your Majesty is the blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

After saying that, he turned around and said to the men dancing in the center of the banquet hall, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank His Majesty quickly?"

The handsome men all knelt on the ground and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

When she raised her eyes, her movements were very alluring.

Xiao Ning: “…”

I inexplicably felt that the air pressure next to me had dropped a few degrees.

Laughter and joy returned to the hall, and singing and dancing continued.

Xiao Ning tilted his head and looked at Shang Xi, who was drinking quietly with his brows lowered.

"Baby……"

She held Shang Xi's hand and whispered.

Shang Xi pulled back his hand, "Who is your baby? Your baby is down there."

Xiao Ning: “…”

She held Shang Xi's hand, pulled it over, placed it on her leg, and stroked it gently.

"Ling Hui, they are all poor people. I just want to help them."

"There's nothing else to think about."

Shang Xi stopped struggling with his hands being held tightly.

"Then after the banquet, I will make all the arrangements for them. You are not allowed to interfere."

Xiao Ning nodded hurriedly, "Of course!"

Shang Xi was finally satisfied, but when he looked at the ministers who were calm and composed below the stairs, his eyes darkened.

The banquet is over.

Xiao Ning and Shang Xi held hands and came to the highest point of the palace.

Fireworks bloomed in clusters.

Shang Xi turned his head and hugged Xiao Ning in his arms.

"Aning, this is the first year you and I have spent together."

Xiao Ning also put his arm around his waist and smiled.

Yes, this is the first formal year they have been together.

"I really want time to stop at this moment..."

"Why do we have to freeze? We still have many wonderful things to do together. When we are old, we can lie on a rattan chair, hold your hand, and reminisce about the past..."

Fireworks were reflected in Xiao Ning's eyes, brilliant and dazzling, and Shang Xi couldn't help but kiss her.

"Aning is right. We still have many wonderful things to do..."
