Unfortunately, the emperor's father did not fulfill Ji Xingzhi's wish. He avoided Empress Xiao's hand and said, "I'll do it, harder."

Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched again. What's heavy? What's heavy? She was obviously only a little bit. Usually, the emperor could lift her up with two fingers. Now he actually said she was heavy.

What happened to the promise that you are not joking? This is just full of nonsense. He spoils his wife without any bottom line.

Zhaosheng Hall.

Zhaosheng Hall was the palace where the kings of the State of Li held their morning courts. Because the hall was spacious and its architectural decorations were magnificent, it was used to hold state banquets and banquets in the evening. In short, holding a state banquet here was more prestigious.

Just think about it, how majestic is the palace where the emperors of all dynasties held their court? The golden throne in front of it is simply too luxurious.

"The Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Empress has arrived!" The eunuch guarding the gate shouted sharply. Ji Xingzhi nestled in the Emperor's arms and couldn't help but stretch out her white and tender little hands to cover her ears.

The Emperor, inevitably considerate, reached out to protect Ji Xingzhi's ears and said in a deep voice, "When you report from now on, speak softly so as not to alarm the Crown Prince."

The eunuch's legs softened and he knelt down and kowtowed: "I obey your command."

Ji Xingzhi stared at the Emperor with her eyes wide open. Her head tilted, and her pearl crown teetered. Had the Emperor changed his ways? Or...had he gone mad? Or was he setting a trap for her?

After the emperor straightened Ji Xingzhi's head, he lowered his voice and said, "Pay attention to your manners in front of envoys from other countries."

Ji Xingzhi was shocked and suddenly realized that this was the case. She said, how could the emperor be so good to her?

The emperor walked to the dragon throne and sat down holding Ji Xingzhi. Empress Xiao also sat down immediately. The family of three sat on the dragon throne happily.

There was a lot of discussion below.

"It is said that the Emperor of Li dotes on his wife to such an extent that they can even sit on the throne together."

"Hmph, beauty is a disaster."

"Emperor Li dismissed the harem for Empress Xiao and made the newly born prince the crown prince. This is truly the envy of others."

“…”

Ji Xingzhi listened quietly and couldn't help but envy his queen mother.

Speaking of her mother, the Empress Dowager, she also had a great background. The eunuch always told her stories about the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, so she was familiar with them.

I heard from the eunuch that the emperor was not originally the emperor of Li Kingdom, but the emperor seized the throne.

The emperor's father is named Ji Jiangshen. He is the descendant of the Yongkang King, a founding hero of the Li Kingdom. He is a well-known second-generation official and a golden bachelor who can make women scream on the street.

Empress Xiao was the eldest princess of the former Li Kingdom, who lived a life of luxury. Her name was Xiao Qingyan. She was loved by Emperor Xiao because she was well-behaved, sensible, gentle and beautiful.

Ji Jiangxin entered the palace to attend a palace banquet and met Xiao Qingyan. Somehow, the two fell in love with each other. One of them insisted on marrying her, and the other insisted on marrying him.

At that time, the Ji family was very powerful, and Emperor Xiao did not dare to marry Li Kingdom's only princess Xiao Qingyan to Ji Jiangshen. So he gave up and suppressed the Ji family everywhere. Because he suppressed the Ji family too much, the Ji family had been loyal to the Xiao family for generations, but now the Xiao family could not tolerate the Ji family. Then, Prince Yongkang died of heartbreak, and the princess also committed suicide for love, leaving behind their only son Ji Jiangshen.

Ji Jiangshen was so angry that he rebelled without any warning.

Yes, it's so willful.

Afterwards, the Ji family army besieged the palace. Emperor Xiao would rather die than surrender and handed over the cause to his youngest son Xiao Moyan, hoping that his youngest son could support him.
