Li Xia shrugged and said, "Why should we calculate this? In every dynasty, there are always some ministers whose honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. I am just an orphan with no one to rely on. If those ministers knew that you wanted to make me the queen, it would be strange if they didn't stop you."

"Let them stop me if they want. I am the emperor. Do I need to ask for the consent of my subjects before I can appoint someone as my empress?"

Dongfang Xunyi said.

Li Xia wasn't too surprised when she heard what he said.

She also understood a little bit in the two years after she left the palace.

Dongfang Xunyi has almost taken control of the power.

That's why he doesn't care about the attitudes of the civil and military officials in the court.

Anyway, if they were not obedient, he could take this opportunity to replace all the officials with his own people.

Dongfang Xunyi has secretly cultivated corresponding officials.

When the time is right, he will replace all those termites.

"Xia Xia, you know I only care about your wishes. Last time you said you would give you two days to think about it. Now the two days have passed. What do you think?" Dongfang Xunyi looked at Li Xia eagerly.

He can use his power to suppress all civil and military officials.

But you can't use the same method to deal with her.

Because he loved her, and what he wanted was her willingness.

"I am willing to enter the palace."

Li Xia looked back at Dongfang Xunyi, their eyes met, and she nodded.

The moment you come into this world, you have no choice.

The reason why she asked Dongfang Xunyi for a few days to consider was simply to make him nervous for a few days, or to teach him a lesson for his original act of acting on his own.

Dongfang Xunyi was so excited when he heard Li Xia's answer that he didn't know what to say, "Xia Xia..."

He picked her up and spun her around in circles.

"What are you doing? Put me down now."

Li Xia was not prepared at all. When she saw her body flying in the air, she was so scared that she quickly reached out and hugged Dongfang Xunyi's neck.

When Dongfang Xunyi returned to the palace that day, he immediately found the official in charge of these matters, selected an auspicious day, and welcomed Li Xia and her two sons into the palace.

After the two men paid homage to heaven and earth, Li Xia's true face was revealed in front of the civil and military officials, and everyone gasped.

The empress the emperor married looked exactly like Empress Dowager Huimin, which really scared them.

But the Queen Mother had already died in the fire two years ago.

If Li Xia had not been dressed as the queen, all the officials would have thought that the queen mother had come back to life.

Even if some people were full of doubts, Dongfang Xunyi was now fully grown and no one dared to raise questions in front of him.

actually.

As early as two years ago, when Li Xia was still the Queen Mother, as soon as the news of her death was announced, all kinds of voices were heard.

The people and court officials were all suspicious about the sudden death of the Queen Mother.

Some people also secretly suspected the current emperor.

However, they only dared to make these remarks secretly.

———

Three years later.

"Dongfang Jinyue!"

"Mother, please save Yue'er quickly, my brother is going to beat me up."

A little boy in brocade clothes with a painted face was chasing a delicate and pretty girl with an angry look on his face.

Dongfang Jinyue spotted Li Xia with her sharp eyes, and hurriedly hid behind her, asking for help.

"Jinyan, your face..."

Li Xia raised her head and when she saw that the little boy's face was painted, she turned her head and lowered her eyes to look at Dongfang Jinyue who was hiding behind her.

She frowned, "Dongfang Jinyue, are you bullying your brother again?"

Li Xia raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows.

This is why she doesn't want to have any more children after three years of marriage.

Dongfang Jinyue, formerly known as Xiaobao, became more and more like a little monkey as he grew up, causing her headaches.

Every day she either teased the eunuchs and guards or her brother.

He pissed off his brother and started begging for mercy again.

He never changes despite repeated admonitions.

But Dongfang Xunyi spoiled her to the point of lawlessness.

They said that Dongfang Jinyue was the princess of the Dongfang family and no one could let her suffer any injustice.

He believes that girls at this age are curious about everything.

My daughter has a lively and active personality. She is just being naughty and she plays teasing on people for fun. She has no ill intentions in her heart.

When Li Xia heard the excuse Dongfang Xunyi made for Dongfang Jinyue, her blood pressure soared with anger.

Dongfang Jinyue was used to reading people's faces. When she saw that her mother really showed signs of being angry, she felt a surge of fear.

She swallowed, lowered her eyes and licked her lower lips.

If she had known this earlier, she would not have teased her brother.

It seems that my mother will not forgive me easily.

It seems that if she wants to escape danger, she still has to go find her father.

Dongfang Jinyue secretly glanced at the path behind him.

She wanted to find the right opportunity and run to find Dongfang Xunyi while no one was paying attention.

However, no one knows a daughter better than her mother.

Dongfang Jinyue rolled his eyes, and Li Xia knew what he was planning.

The moment she was about to run, Li Xia grabbed Dongfang Jinyue's wrist.

"Dongfang Jinyue, what do you want to do? Are you going to find your father?" Li Xia frowned, looked at Dongfang Jinyue who had a guilty face, and asked.

Dongfang Jinyue bit her lower lip, "Mother, I..."

She almost forgot.

Although my father doted on me, he was dominated by his wife and obeyed my mother's orders.

Normally, if his mother asked his father to go east, he would never dare to go west.

My mother was very strict in disciplining me.

Her mother actually saw through her thoughts.

It seems that my wishful thinking is going to be shattered this time.
