Xiao Li had two prime ministers and countless capable ministers, so there were actually not many state affairs that she needed to deal with.
She would only come to report on matters that required major action, such as disaster relief. As for daily management matters, she didn't need to deal with them unless Xiao Li asked about them.
Of course, this doesn't mean that if Xiao Li ignores them, they can do whatever they want.
Almost all the officials above the second rank in the court were die-hard fans of the empress, especially Liu Yan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice. He wanted to grind anyone with even the slightest disloyalty into ashes. And Lou Yan, who was in charge of the Supervision Department, was even more so. Together with Liu Yan, they were known as the two ruthless men and the nightmare of all officials.
Two prime ministers, six ministers, twelve vice ministers, and military generals.
All departments are under control, male and female officials are under control, and civil and military officials are under control.
Those at the back were desperately trying to climb up, while those at the front were defending their positions. The court seemed calm, but a group of people were involved in life and death, and the undercurrent was surging. Naturally, the one who was free in the end was Emperor Xiao Li.
Of course, if you want to be a leisurely emperor, the prerequisite is that you have to have the ability to subdue them.
Faith, ability, and deterrence are superimposed on each other, making it an invincible existence that cannot be replicated.
Three thousand years ago and one thousand years later, there will never be another emperor like Xiao Li who is worshipped as a myth by his subjects.
After confirming the banquet for tomorrow, Xiao Li went back. He did not take a sedan chair, but walked back in the snow.
Lou Yan held an umbrella in one hand and placed the other on his abdomen, following closely beside His Majesty, ready to support his Majesty at any time.
He is no longer a eunuch, but he likes to serve His Majesty from this perspective.
Her Majesty is always half a step ahead of him, and he can smell her scent at any time. As long as Her Majesty takes half a step back, she can be in his arms. Occasionally, he can be so rebellious as to take half a step forward to ask for the gift he wants.
Half a step away, neither far nor near, following like a shadow, everything is just right.
Lou Yan often served Xiao Li. He held an umbrella and accompanied her all the way back. Xiao Li didn't think anything of it. However, when they stepped into the emperor's bedroom, Xiao Li suddenly reacted.
Song Junzhan...isn't he still sleeping?
In fact, Song Junzhan had already woken up, washed up, and changed into clean clothes.
But her energetic and rosy appearance showed that she was content from the inside out, and it was obvious that she was deeply loved.
"His Majesty."
Song Junzhan walked over, his soft and sparkling eyes filled with Xiao Li, not even a glance for anyone else.
“Bang!”
Yang Jun heard the sound and looked over, and sure enough, the umbrella handle in Lou Yan's hand was crushed.
Yang Jun was also convinced. He had seen similar situations for ten years.
Everyone around them was fed up with it, but Lou Yan hadn't changed at all.
No matter whether it is Prime Minister Song, Lord Feng or General Rong, as long as they are favored by His Majesty, Lou Yan can break through their defense in an instant.
He dared not kill her, and could not win the exclusive favor of His Majesty, so he could only break through the defense again and again, day after day for ten years, which was also admirable.
Moreover, Lou Yan was not only jealous of those three people, Chu Yungui, Wang Wanqing, Wang Yizhuo, and Chu Lingyi.
He was jealous of everyone who could gain His Majesty's favor, regardless of gender.
Yang Jun often wants to ask: Aren’t you tired of hating so many people?
Lou Yan is not tired, he just wants to drive everyone away from His Majesty.
Hongyue had dinner served, and the three of them ate together.
Song Junzhan is a well-behaved man and never behaves overly intimately in front of others. Lou Yan is afraid of being kicked out, so he doesn't dare to act up.
After dinner, Song Junzhan stood up and took his leave.
Although he wanted to stay overnight, he had slept enough here today and he still had things to take care of.
When he left, he nodded slightly to Lou Yan and said hello to Yang Jun before leaving.
Yang Jun nodded in response, feeling emotional: Look at his bearing, look at his behavior, if His Majesty ever establishes a harem, he will definitely be the legitimate husband of the Emperor.
----
After dinner, Xiao Li went to the study room in the separate room. Lou Yan didn't come to disturb her, and she didn't care.
When she finished writing and just put down her pen, Lou Yan, who had washed up and changed his clothes, walked in.
"Your Majesty, may I sleep with you tonight?"
He changed into loose pajamas, and the collar was deliberately torn open to reveal an alluring view.
Her long hair hung loosely, and some undried strands of hair hung down in front of her chest. Water droplets fell on her skin, following the texture of her abdominal muscles and disappearing into invisible places, which aroused people's imagination.
This look has no other meaning, it's just naked seduction.
Xiao Li didn't let him off easily: "We can add Lord Lou to the list of people who will go to Xiliang to provide disaster relief."
The implication is: If you continue to make trouble, I will send you to Xiliang to provide disaster relief.
There are countless talented people in the court, and disaster relief does not require someone of Lou Yan's status, but if the empress wants to drive him away, he will have no choice.
The journey to Xiliang is long, and it will take at least three or four months.
Lou Yan suddenly stopped daring to act recklessly and looked at Xiao Li with broken eyes, silently accusing His Majesty of being cruel.
Lou Yan calmed down, and Xiao Li didn't really drive him away. When he saw that he was already sleeping soundly in bed, he allowed him to stay there overnight.
But if Lou Yan is too obedient, it would not be called Lou Yan anymore.
You can endure it for a while, but you can't endure it all night.
When it was almost dawn, Xiao Li still thought he was having a wet dream.
When I realized what was happening, I was completely impressed.
He grabbed Lou Yan's hair and pulled him out from under the quilt, saying viciously, "You deserve to be punished."
Faced with Xiao Li's ferocious look, Lou Yan stopped seducing him and turned his head to look elsewhere, with tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.
After being together for more than ten years, Lou Yan devoted all his attention to Xiao Li and knew her preferences very well.
