"Your Majesty, please think twice. The position of empress is related to the country and the people. How can a random country girl be worthy of it?"
"I second the motion."
"I second this motion."
"Your Majesty, I second this motion."
………
In the court.
As soon as Dongfang Xunyi finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down one after another.
They all disagreed with the emperor's idea of marrying an orphan girl.
It would be fine if she was just placed in the harem as a concubine.
They can also turn a blind eye.
Your Majesty is a rare wise ruler. He is still young, so it is normal for him to have things he likes.
As long as it's not excessive, they will naturally not interfere.
after all.
The emperor would never do such a thing as favoring his concubine over his wife.
Wait until the emperor appoints a queen in the future.
Everything can slowly get back on track.
However, the civil and military officials never expected that the emperor would give them such a surprise.
Not only did he fall in love with a country girl, he also wanted to make her his queen.
How could they agree to this?
These people have not yet made up their minds, although they do not want the position of Queen to fall into the hands of the other family.
But what if the queen chosen is just an ordinary woman?
They began to unite again and face the outside world together.
In the eyes of these high-ranking officials and nobles, the queen must be from a noble family.
Dongfang Xunyi looked at the ministers kneeling in the court. He stared at their numerous heads and narrowed his eyes.
These people really think too highly of themselves.
He just informed them, and they took it for granted that he was discussing it with them.
"I have made up my mind. If you, my dear ministers, cannot bear to see this and feel uncomfortable, you may resign on your own initiative." Dongfang Xunyi raised his chin, glanced at everyone, and said lightly.
"There is no room for discussion on this matter. If nothing else, please leave the court."
He waved his wide sleeves.
"Xiao Luzi, get ready, I want to leave the palace."
Dongfang Xunyi came to the bedroom and immediately changed out of his dragon robe.
He gave instructions to Xiao Luzi who was guarding the outer hall.
Xiao Luzi lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He was about to leave when Dongfang Xunyi suddenly called him.
"By the way, go to the imperial kitchen and get two servings of chestnut cakes. I noticed that Dabao and Xiaobao really liked this cake a few days ago. Bring some back for them."
He thought of this detail.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go right away." Xiao Luzi said.
Dongfang Xunyi changed into his regular clothes for going out of the palace. He waited for a while, and Xiao Luzi came back from the imperial kitchen carrying a food box.
Xiao Luzi bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am back."
"Well, are you all ready?" Dongfang Xunyi nodded and asked.
"Everything is ready."
"Leave the palace."
The two of them walked out of the palace and headed towards their destination.
After a while.
Dongfang Xunyi led Xiao Luzi to the courtyard where Li Xia lived.
They can now come and go freely.
“Daddy!”
It is said that a daughter is a father’s little cotton-padded jacket. As soon as Xiaobao saw Dongfang Xunyi, he ran towards him.
Dongfang Xunyi opened his arms in response.
He held the tiny, soft little treasure firmly in his arms.
"Xiaobao, look, what is this?" Dongfang Xunyi showed a piece of cake in his palm as if by magic.
"Wow! It's chestnut cake, brother, there are delicious chestnut cakes, come here quickly."
Xiaobao turned to Dabao and waved to him with her short little hand.
When Dabao heard this, although he didn't say anything, the steps he took with his short legs showed his true thoughts.
The brother and sister have had different preferences since birth, but it is rare that they like the same kind of pastries this time.
"Dabao, you and Xiaobao take these chestnut cakes back to your room and eat them. Daddy and your mother have something to say." Dongfang Xunyi put Xiaobao down from his arms.
Xiaobao responded obediently: "Okay."
Li Xia has been thinking about calligraphy out of boredom recently, and practices writing in the study room when he has nothing to do.
Dongfang Xunyi didn't find Li Xia in the main hall or the side rooms, so he went straight to the study.
"Your servant..."
"Shhh."
Yuzhu was standing in the compartment of the study. When she saw Dongfang Xunyi, she knelt down and wanted to salute him.
Dongfang Xunyi looked at Li Xia who was concentrating on writing. He raised his hand to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Yuzhu understood and nodded slightly.
She glanced at Li Xia quietly, then walked out quietly.
Dongfang Xunyi and Li Xia were the only ones left in the study.
He waited silently without making a sound to disturb Li Xia who was conscientious.
After a while.
Li Xia happily raised the calligraphy in her hand and turned to say, "Yuzhu... Dongfang Xunyi, why are you here?"
She wanted to share her joy with Yuzhu, but when she turned around, she saw Dongfang Xunyi looking at her. Li Xia blinked her peach blossom eyes in confusion.
When did he come in?
Why didn't anyone inform her?
"What? Xia Xia's tone indicates that you don't welcome me?" Dongfang Xunyi raised his eyebrows.
Li Xia put the rice paper back on the table, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since the emperor knows, why did he come to me to confront me?"
She lowered her head to tidy up the messy table.
"I'm here to see my wife and children. There's nothing I can do if you don't welcome me."
Dongfang Xunyi used this shameless trick.
When Li Xia heard Dongfang Xunyi's words, he raised his eyes, rolled his eyes at him, and said nothing.
"I guess the emperor encountered many obstacles in the court today."
Dongfang Xunyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he blinked his eyes, "It seems that Xia Xia has calculated it correctly."
