Thanks to the efforts of all the people in the capital, the damage caused by the earthquake was finally repaired before the New Year.

However, the closer it got to the New Year, the more nervous Song Junzhan became.

Because that year, His Majesty had an accident just before the New Year.

Not only him, but also Rong Qing, Yang Jun, Hong Yue and others were on high alert.

The annual banquet for all officials is coming soon. This time it will be more grand than the last one, with more people showing up, so it must be rigorous and even more rigorous.

Xiao Li was selecting prizes for the officials during the New Year and asked Song Junzhan, "Is there anything the Prime Minister particularly looking for?"

Song Junzhan answered without even thinking: "I want to spend this New Year peacefully with Your Majesty."

They haven't had a proper New Year together yet.

Next spring, he would like to invite His Majesty to the Prime Minister's Residence to appreciate the flowers.

Xiao Li: “…”

Suddenly I felt that the Prime Minister was so well behaved.

No, Song Junzhan has always been very well behaved.

Obediently follow her orders and be exploited.

Others are extremely tired and will complain and whine. Although they will continue to work, their resentment is as overwhelming as that of demons.

Only Song Junzhan, although in poor health, never complained. He completed perfectly whatever Xiao Li assigned to him, and took the initiative to improve what Xiao Li did not mention.

Xiao Li didn't even have to pressure him, he would come forward on his own initiative and take on any work.

He is not good at conquering, but he is a chosen auxiliary talent.

The empress didn't look at the list but stared at him. Song Junzhan raised his eyes from the pile of memorials and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Li pretended to frown and put one hand over his heart: "My conscience is about to grow out."

Song Junzhan stood up immediately when he saw Xiao Li frowning. He walked over and realized what she had said. He couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, what has provoked you?"

He had an elegant and straight posture, and exuded a cold and majestic air, but when facing Xiao Li, he would lean forward slightly with a smile on his face.

It seems that the gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes can only hold her.

Xiao Li didn't answer, but looked at him and suddenly said, "I want to see you wearing that pink dress."

Song Junzhan's expression paused, and the next moment his eyes warmed up, and his throat moved slightly: "Okay."

Song Junzhan was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he hurried back to continue processing the memorials, but the emperor's eyes kept looking at him, sweeping him from top to bottom aggressively.

He was clearly fully clothed and sitting upright, yet he inexplicably felt a sense of shame for not being fully clothed.

He forced himself to finish the job, but ended up almost running away.

He had a temporary residence in the palace, so he could wash and dress himself without leaving the palace. He had already sent a message to Zi Yue to bring him his clothes.

Song Junzhan didn't like wearing pink. This dress appeared because of a bet with His Majesty. He put it away after wearing it once.

Although not worn, it is well preserved.

I put it on again because of Your Majesty.

He raised his hand and touched the material. He actually liked the light white pink.

When Song Junzhan went to wash up, everyone knew that he would stay tonight.

Yang Jun took the initiative to say to Rong Qing, who was on night duty tonight, "I'll trade days with you. It's your turn tomorrow."

Rong Qing declined his offer: "No need."

Yang Jun asked again: "Really?"

Rong Qing said firmly: "No need."

Yang Jun was also convinced. This guy's patience was really too high.

In the past, he didn't have the favor of His Majesty, so he could tolerate and understand it. But now his relationship with His Majesty is obviously different, so why can he still resist being jealous?

Yang Jun was very curious, but he still had some manners, so he didn't ask those hurtful questions.

We are all human beings. When we fall in love, how can we not feel jealous and sad?

It’s just that Rong Qing doesn’t show it.

In fact, Rong Qing was not as sad as Yang Jun imagined.

Song Junzhan and Lou Yan existed before him, before he received a response from His Majesty. When he gave himself wholeheartedly to His Majesty, he had already accepted everything.

He would not be jealous of anyone who was close to His Majesty, as long as he stayed by His Majesty's side.

He is first your Majesty's subject and then your Majesty's lover.

He would never give up his role as the guardian of His Majesty just because he was jealous of others gaining His Majesty's favor.

Of course, the most important point is that Song Junzhan is really a good person. He has given so much to Your Majesty and to this country. He sees Song Junzhan's love for Your Majesty and admires and respects him.

Song Junzhan deserves the favor of His Majesty, and he has his own share.

"Your Majesty, I, Xiao Jingyi, pay my respects to you."

Xiao Jingyi knelt on the ground, looked up at the empress with a smile on his face.

There was no way he couldn't be happy. He hadn't even expected it, but he received an order from His Majesty calling him back to celebrate the New Year.

His only younger brother was finally recognized.

Xiao Li always felt that this boy looked a bit like a Husky.

"No need to formalize. Go back and pack your things properly. You can enter the palace tomorrow."

Xiao Jingyi was driven away as soon as they met, but he was not sad at all.

The imperial sister has disliked him for a long time. As long as he can sit firmly on the throne of the only brother in the imperial sister's heart, nothing else matters.

Xiao Li: ...I wanted to hit my brother, but I didn’t know where to start.

There are many things and people at the end of the year.

As soon as the King of Wei left the palace, the troops that had been on the expedition against Baidi returned.

Courtier: Wait a minute? The expedition to Baidi? When did that happen?

They were all confused, and Xiao Li was also shocked.

"I gave the order two months ago." The war is already over, and you still don't know?

Courtier: "I don't know?"

Xiao Li thought about it and it seemed that she had given the order alone and did not inform the court. Later, the battle reports were delivered directly to her through Yang Jun.
