Lou Yan handed the bloody knife to the silver-armored guard next to him and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He was getting annoyed because there was too much blood on his hands and he couldn't wipe it clean. Then he noticed Xiao Li's gaze.

Looking up, Xiao Li was standing next to a white jade railing, with his hands on the railing, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Just look at him.

And Lou Yan was very familiar with this look.

His heart moved and he was about to say something, but he saw Xiao Li's lips moving and silently saying two words - OK.

Lou Yan's pupils trembled and his heart instantly lost its rhythm.

There were scattered petals on the ground after the fight, and the wind blew the petals away.

In the brightly lit garden, the two just looked at each other.

Xiao Li was looking at the man who had just fascinated her, with his perfect figure, peerless martial arts, ruthless blade, and evil and cruel appearance.

It's really hard not to like this bad man.

Lou Yan was looking at the Empress who was attracted by him. The Empress had looked at him differently because he was bad and cruel enough. Even though he was a eunuch, she was still willing to tease him.

What she liked was not his deliberate flattery, nor his infatuation, but the most real, cruel, and most unacceptable side of him.

It wasn't that he was so fascinated by the empress that he lost his soul. In the beginning, it was the empress who was fascinated by him and fell in love with him, so she teased him first.

Lou Yan finally got on the dragon bed he had been longing for, but at this moment he no longer cared about "fulfilling his long-cherished wish". His heart and eyes were filled with his Majesty.

He suddenly realized in an instant that he should fight, but not in the same way as before. It was obvious that His Majesty did not like those jealous tactics.

What he should do is be himself and let His Majesty be fascinated by him.

Just like now, it is no longer him who craves His Majesty's favor, but His Majesty is burning and devouring him inch by inch.

What he longed for most in his heart was nothing more than the ultimate pleasure of being controlled and owned by His Majesty at this moment.

The clouds and rain stopped.

Xiao Li lazily nestled in the quilt, smiling lazily, charming and contented.

The fleeting charm in her eyes is extremely bewitching.

She slowly lowered her eyes, like the most greedy and lustful dragon lowering its head, with oppression, provocation, and contempt.

"Eunuch Lou, is this not enough?"

Lou Yan, who was trying to calm down due to extreme pleasure, looked at her helplessly when he heard this. It is impossible for a man to admit that he is not good enough, but he cannot argue with His Majesty on this matter.

He grabbed her hand and kissed it hard, his narrow, wicked eyes gleaming with a smile: "If Your Majesty is not tired, this servant can still bear it."

Xiao Li sneered: "You are good at taking advantage of others."

------

There was an assassin in the palace and he was executed. Although only a few words of news were leaked, more court officials believed that the empress had woken up.

With everyone looking forward to it, Her Majesty the Empress had no choice but to open for business.

It was Xiao Li's first time attending court after waking up from a coma, and he rarely dressed up.

The dragon robe that belonged to her alone had been embroidered, with a black base and gold thread brocade, depicting mountains, seas, lakes, auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, with a golden five-clawed dragon in the middle.

This dragon robe is definitely the best clothing in the world. It is not a question of beauty, but power that makes it unique. Whoever wears it will definitely crush the whole audience.

The dragon robe has wide sleeves and a crown with tassels hanging from the head.

Xiao Li himself gives people a great sense of oppression, and when he puts on this outfit, his aura is fully released and he exudes domineering power.

Lou Yan carefully took care of every inch of Xiao Li. Looking at her putting on this dress, in addition to love, there were many emotions that he could not describe at the moment swelling in his heart.

He had followed three emperors, but only Xiao Li made him feel that he was truly serving an emperor.

It was not because of his feelings for her, but because of her dignity and courage.

Xiao Li stood there bored, his eyes following Lou Yan. He was also wearing purple today, but it was a new outfit.

It is not the purple robe of the eunuchs, but a dark purple that is darker than the purple of the eunuchs, commonly known as purple to black.

It is made of brocade, with gold thread edging and inlaid with Qilin kesi pieces.

The strong waist is tied up, looking very powerful, and the scarlet ruby buckle on the belt is very eye-catching.

This low-key and noble outfit, coupled with the golden jade crown, someone who doesn't know him would mistake him for a prince.

This set of clothes was prepared by Xiao Li. She really liked Lou Yan wearing purple clothes, but it couldn't be a eunuch's uniform, so she deepened the color and changed the texture and style.

Sure enough, he looks more like a treacherous villain.

Make sure you have it prepared correctly.

Lou Yan raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

Stop torturing him with that look.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Xiao Li went in, slowly walked up to the dragon throne, and waited for her to stand still.

Song Junzhan and all the officials in the court saluted together: "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Xiao Li raised his hand: "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone was seated, Xiao Li slowly spoke, "I have been in a coma for over a year. Thank you all for your hard work..."

Going to court is a meeting. Since it only happens once in a long time, it is natural to praise people. Xiao Li spent two quarters of an hour just praising people.

After praising people enough, Xiao Li started talking about work. Of course, she only needed to point out the topic, and whoever was in charge of the mentioned matter would come forward to report.

Planning, preliminary preparation, future goals, required resources, and risk assessment.

This is the benefit of unified training.

It doesn't mean that you can be a good official just by being able to read. Doing things and reading are different.

The first group of people trained by the Princess Mansion's Talented Banquet came to the court and laid the foundation for everything. The people who followed followed the training, understood the work procedures, and were able to understand the orders from above.

Process operation makes you get twice the result with half the effort.

It had been more than a year since the court session began again. Xiao Li sat in the court from noon to midnight.

Finally finished, but can’t disperse.

Xiao Lirang prepared a banquet. How can rewarding people be without a banquet?

Perhaps because they finally saw the empress again, they were all very excited and bravely came forward to toast her.

Of course, they all drank on their own. It was a blessing for the Empress to raise a glass, but she did not dare to ask His Majesty to drink a glass with each of them.

Xiao Li knows his alcohol tolerance. If he is in a good mood, he will drink a few more glasses, but when he is almost done, he will stop.

The singing and dancing started, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

A group of dancers were dancing, their waists were slender and their moves were graceful, Xiao Li was full of admiration.

What a beautiful girl, so pleasing to the eyes.

However, as I was dancing, something seemed to be wrong.

Why did the dancer step away and why did two men come up to dance with her?

Xiao Li actually didn't think it was strange for men to dance. After all, in her time, both men and women could dance. But the dance of these two people seemed a bit inappropriate.

It's not about the actions, but their eyes. No matter how they jumped, they looked at Xiao Li with a hook in their eyes, throwing flirtatious glances, a naked seduction.

Xiao Li found it very interesting, but many people present had gloomy faces.

Especially Lou Yan and Song Junzhan. If they hadn't been watching the empress with great interest, they would have had them dragged away long ago.

But even if they were not pulled away, they would not let these two people go after this dance.
