When Concubine Hui heard that her children were injured and she could not leave the palace, she angrily came to the emperor for help, wanting the emperor to try the arrogant Xuan Yang. However, she did not expect that the emperor not only did not help her, but was even persuaded by Xuan Yang with just a few words.
"His Majesty!"
Concubine Hui was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She gritted her teeth and said, "I finally understand. Your Majesty is biased towards her. Is there any justice or law in this world?"
Xiao Li leisurely found a seat and sat down: "The emperor is the law. He is sitting right in front of you. Concubine Hui is dissatisfied with the emperor and wants all the laws of the world to obey you?"
The King of Wei suddenly responded with a yes-man response: "That's right, Your Majesty is the law!"
Xiao Li sneered: "Fairness? This is the first time I've heard someone ask for justice after getting beaten up at someone else's house looking for trouble."
King Wei: "That's right."
Xiao Li: "You have no guts, yet you come here to provoke me? What's ridiculous is that you got beaten for provoking me. What's even more ridiculous is that you still have the nerve to complain after getting beaten. It's really shameful!"
The King of Wei nodded desperately: "Hmmmm!"
Concubine Hui was so angry that she almost died: "You...you...you are going too far! You are going too far!"
Concubine Hui was furious and left. Xiao Jingyi approached Xiao Li and said, "Royal sister, they will definitely take revenge on you."
Xiao Li was very confident: "What are you afraid of? We have the Emperor to protect us. How can they rebel? Right, Emperor?"
Emperor: “…” Tired.
These two awful things!
Xuan Yang is now a hedgehog. She will prick anyone who provokes her. Not only does she go crazy, she also doesn't want to die.
If you hit her or punish her, she will run away. You don't want to kill her, but that's not the case.
It was mainly because of Xiao Li's different treatment of him, that is, I can be defiant but respect my elder brother, that made the emperor inexplicably feel that he was very majestic and important, and even had an indescribable sense of pleasure of being recognized, which made him addicted.
He subconsciously thought he was a good brother. (Commonly known as: brainwashed)
Let’s not talk about Xuanyang. Lao Wu was originally a very obedient person. No, he is obedient now. He listens to Xuanyang and makes trouble together.
But if you think about it, this happened for a reason. The Prince of Yanping and his sister suffered so much at the hands of Xuanyang, and yet they still moved forward, they were really asking for a fight.
Good, he convinced himself.
The emperor held his forehead and said, "Just be quiet."
Xiao Li and Xiao Jingyi sat there obediently, not to mention how quiet it was.
The emperor was exhausted both physically and mentally after seeing this.
"Xuan Yang, how's your selection process going? I heard you picked out seven people. Have you decided who you'll keep?"
Xiao Li: "I was just about to tell my brother about this. I want to keep all seven of them."
The emperor was so shocked that he sat up straight: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Li came closer: "Brother, you have to help me with this."
The emperor gritted his teeth in anger: "You still want my help?"
Xiao Li sighed, "They don't have much experience in government. I want to assign them to various departments to learn. They can only be used after they have learned enough."
The emperor's face turned green, and he took a deep breath. "You...why does your male favorite have to go to every department to learn? What is there in my various departments that is worth them learning?"
Up to this point, the emperor still thought that Xiao Li had chosen a concubine.
Xiao Li understood and pretended to be innocent: "But if I don't let them learn, how can they help me manage the fiefdom?"
"What did you say?" The emperor almost thought he had misheard. "Fiefdom? What fiefdom?"
Xiao Li: "It's the fiefdom given to me by my brother the emperor. I plan to go there and play around in the near future to prepare some manpower. When I find an official I don't like, I will replace him."
The emperor's heart swung in the air and then fell to the ground with a thud. His anger disappeared and he became extremely calm in an instant.
"Is this the reason you're hosting the Talented Scholars Banquet?"
Xiao Li: "What else?"
He said with a wicked smile: "Actually, these few people are not bad. If the emperor doesn't agree, I can keep them as my concubines."
"Don't!"
The emperor quickly raised his hand and said, "Give me the list and I will make the arrangements for you. Make sure they study hard and take up their posts as soon as possible."
Xiao Li looked regretful: "Thank you very much, my Royal Brother."
The emperor could see that she was pretending, but he had to agree. If he really let her keep him as a male concubine, what would happen?
"The matter between Prince Yanping and Jia Ruo hasn't been resolved yet. If you don't want them, you can just kick them out. Why take such drastic measures?"
Xiao Li: "Yes, my brother is right. Next time I see them, I will throw them out."
The emperor slammed the table and said, "Behave properly and stop pretending to obey me."
Xiao Li frowned and thought hard: "Then my royal brother, can you give them some rewards to appease them?"
The emperor was about to ask why, but Xiao Li immediately gave him a reason: "I can't possibly send it to them, and they wouldn't want it even if I gave it to them. If you reward them, they will surely be grateful. If they really make a fuss, you can just punish me by grounding me for a month or something. That would be good for them to feel better."
Emperor: "...Get out!"
Xiao Li left quickly, and the King of Wei followed him like a shadow, not leaving his side.
The emperor felt depressed when he saw these two things. They were of no help at all and were the number one trouble maker.
He looked down at the imperial edict next to him, and was so angry that he forgot about the marriage.
But now he felt that the matter of arranging a marriage could not be rushed.
Among the two people he chose, Su Ziqi was chosen by Xuan Yang, but on the other hand, can anyone chosen by Xuan Yang be reliable?
This marriage must not be granted.

Xiao Li went out too fast and almost bumped into someone's arms.
The other person reached out to support her, but then took a half step back: "Princess, please forgive me."
Xiao Li's gaze fell on him. Lou Yan lowered his head, looking respectful and distant.
Xiao Jingyi stepped forward and saw that it was Lou Yan. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Leave."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Xiao Li away. The old man Lou Yan became gloomy, and he felt uneasy just looking at him.
The brother and sister were walking on their way out of the palace. The moon was half-full tonight, but extremely bright, illuminating everything around them clearly.
Xiao Jingyi quickly caught up with Xiao Li and walked shoulder to shoulder with her: "Is the emperor really going to the fiefdom?"
Xiao Li: "I'm tired of staying in the capital, let's go out for a walk."
Xiao Jingyi: "Will the imperial sister come back?"
Xiao Li turned his head and glanced at him: "Why don't you come back?"
Xiao Jingyi smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. The one who loves me the most now is my sister. If you go to live in your fiefdom and don't come back, I'll be heartbroken."
Xiao Li smiled and said nothing.
The two walked to the palace gate together. Rong Qing was waiting with a carriage, and people from the Prince of Wei's mansion also arrived.
Before parting, Xiao Licai said quietly, "The little brat's acting is pretty good, but you can't take acting too seriously. Don't fool yourself."
After saying that, he got on the carriage without looking back.
Xiao Jingyi stood there in a daze, watching the carriage from the princess's mansion leave, his hands clenching and unclenching in his sleeves.
"Royal sister...you are not me, how do you know it's all an act..."
