Chapter 236 Phoenix Perches on the Wutong Tree 16



Xiao Changqi: "You only need to focus your attention on me."

Other trivial matters don't need to be taken care of on New Year's Day.

On New Year's Day, she pretended to be deep in thought, stealing a glance at the man's face. Seeing that he had indeed frowned, she couldn't help but chuckle softly: "I can't guarantee that."

Xiao Changqi's expression immediately darkened.

"There are also children." Yuan Dan smiled and shook his head.

"kid?"

Yuan Dan hummed in agreement: "It's the future little prince or little princess."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changqi's gaze towards the woman suddenly gained a chilling intensity.

Yuan Dan coughed awkwardly, and just as she was about to say something, Xiao Changqi suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

A soft breath brushed against the woman's neck, and Yuan Dan involuntarily shrank back.

Immediately afterwards, the man's deep voice sounded in her ear: "That's not allowed either."

His empress could only have eyes for him.

"Your Majesty, you are being far too domineering." Although she spoke words of complaint, there was not a trace of displeasure in her tone.

Xiao Changqi held the woman tightly, his tone more serious than ever before: "From now on, we will be the closest of people."

I couldn't help but laugh on New Year's Day. Does this mean even children have to step aside?

I never expected this man to have such a childlike side.

She rubbed her cheek against the man's shoulder and whispered, "Okay."

Xiao Changqi smiled and asked, "Are you staying in the palace tonight?"

On New Year's Day, her ears turned red: "Your Majesty, do you know what people outside are saying about me?"

Xiao Changqi raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"A seductive queen who bewitches the monarch," Yuan Dan said softly. "What's more, if you marry me, you'll surely become a king who never holds court again."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Xiao Changqi snorted coldly: "It seems there are too many idle people in the court."

New Year:"……"

The ministers: "..."

Your Majesty, they really have no free time!

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, in particular, were extremely busy preparing for the sacrificial ceremony and the investiture ceremony for the empress.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Works received several blueprints a few days ago from His Majesty. These blueprints not only contained solutions for drought and flooding but also some tools that had never been seen before.

These things were all written down by Yuan Dan, who had gathered all the knowledge he had learned before, and then handed them over to Xiao Changqi.

To prevent any deception from superiors, Yuan Dan suggested to Xiao Changqi that Huo Youcai be appointed as the supervisor to oversee the work of those below.

Huo Youcai broke down the moment he received the imperial edict.

All he wanted was to be a playboy who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun!

Two weeks passed quickly.

Since the sacrificial ceremony and the investiture ceremony were held on the same day, the sacrificial ceremony should have been more important than the investiture ceremony. However, on the day itself, the court officials realized that the investiture ceremony was the main event, while the sacrificial ceremony was just a formality.

The emperor's wedding was a grand affair, overseen and supervised by the chief eunuch who served him.

On the eve of New Year's Day, a sense of tension finally arose. The palace maids sent by the palace guarded outside the door. When she woke up on New Year's Day, these maids would dress her in her wedding clothes and let her get married in her finest attire.

I couldn't sleep on New Year's Day, so I got up and sat at the table to play with the sparrows.

The sparrow, so sleepy it could barely keep its eyes open, listlessly let its owner tease it.

Suddenly, the window was pushed open, and a figure in black leaped through the window.

On New Year's Day, upon hearing the sound, he looked up and immediately met a pair of deep, smiling eyes.

Yuan Dan stood up in surprise: "Your Majesty?! What brings you here?"

Xiao Changqi walked over steadily, then raised his hand and ruffled the woman's hair twice.

"What is that?" Yuan Dan reached out to touch what it was, but was kissed by the man the next second.
