Xiao Li didn't want to see the emperor at all. How could someone who accomplished great things have no patience at all?
Always urging!
It's only the twentieth day, and there's still more than a month left. Why are you in such a hurry?
Before reaching the imperial study, I saw Dong Changrui standing at the door from afar.
"Princess."
Dong Changrui came over with his familiar smile, his face still as pale, and his smile still as creepy and hypocritical.
"Could it be that Eunuch Dong is waiting for me here specifically?"
Dong Changrui said with a forced smile: "I have learned that the princess is coming to the palace, so I have come here to wait for her."
"Your Majesty is deeply troubled and emotionally unstable. It is the responsibility of the Empress and the Consorts to comfort Him. How can they continue to burden the Princess?"
Xiao Li also imitated his fake smile: "I really don't understand what you are saying, father-in-law."
Dong Changrui: "As long as the princess doesn't give His Majesty any wrong advice, His Majesty will naturally be at ease and worry-free."
He wanted to teach her a lesson again.
Xiao Li wanted to slap him, but he was afraid of getting powder all over his hands and making himself disgusted.
He suppressed his anger and stepped into the imperial study. Xiao Jingyun was reviewing memorials and seemed very busy. He didn't even have time to stand up and just kept waving to Xiao Li.
"Come here, come here quickly."
As soon as Xiao Li walked over, he quickly pushed a pile of memorials towards him and said angrily, "Look at this, they are all cursing me, all cursing me!"
Xiao Li opened two books and read them: "I didn't scold you at all. I was just saying good things about the Lu family."
Xiao Jingyun slammed his hands on the table, his neck red with excitement. "Speaking well of the Lu family, isn't that scolding me? They're just pointing at my nose and saying I'm stupid."
"When people talk about the Lu family's contributions to the country, how honest they are, and how righteous and tolerant they are, those who know them think they are just flattering them. Those who don't think they are going to produce a saint in this dynasty!"
"Writing so many memorials praising him, isn't that just a roundabout way of criticizing me for being blind? Why don't I just let Lu Cang be the emperor?"
Lu Cang, Lu Shoufu, was also the Minister of Personnel, the chief civil official, the chief literati in the world, and the grandfather of Lu Yanzhi.
Xiao Li flipped through a few more books. Indeed, from the emperor's perspective, the more he read, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
But that wasn't a reason for him to urge her on whenever he got anxious.
"If you feel upset, just don't read it. It'll only take about a month. Just bear with it."
The emperor snorted coldly. If he hadn't thought about a month, he wouldn't be complaining here.
"Why don't you just tell me what you're doing? Now that the Lu family has gotten out of this matter, it will be hard to find a chance to deal with them in the future."
Especially after the Lu family was suppressed, the rebound of their prestige made the emperor terrified. During the morning court session, he even felt that his throne was shaking.
He also regretted that perhaps he shouldn't have listened to Xiao Li's nonsense in the first place. What could she, a princess, understand?
But Xiao Li spoke with such confidence and had helped him get benefits before, so he couldn't help but want to give it a try, and now he found himself in a dilemma.
As an emperor, he couldn't bow to the aristocratic families. This set a precedent. By then, the world might only know the Lu family and not the emperor.
At this point, he can only go all the way with Xiao Li, but Xiao Li doesn't tell him anything and makes him wait in vain. How can he not be anxious?
Xiao Li was helpless. It was just his temper that's why he didn't tell him.
"Two months. I'm keeping my word. Don't push me any further, my Royal Brother. Eunuch Dong is already pointing his finger at me and scolding me."
The emperor glanced towards the door and asked, "What does this have to do with him?"
Xiao Li chuckled softly, then approached the emperor and whispered, "They say a new emperor appoints new ministers, and old servants are easier to use. But I'm afraid this old servant still has the same old feelings and treats Your Majesty like a child."
The emperor looked at her sternly, and Xiao Li smiled without saying a word.
Before leaving, Xiao Li glanced at the snacks on the table and said, "Even if my royal brother doesn't like these snacks, don't waste them. Give them to Chen Pingting instead."
The emperor was confused and stared at the snacks for a long time, unable to understand what was going on. But in the end, he had the snacks sent away.
No matter what Xiao Li’s deeper meaning was, it was just a stack of snacks.
Chen Pingting, who suddenly received some snacks, QAQ:...It's over, my cousin is not really planning to make her a concubine, right?
It’s over!
--------
When Xiao Li came back from the palace, Lu Yanzhi blocked her at the door.
Xiao Li ignored him and was about to go straight over, but Lu Yanzhi stepped forward and stood in front of her.
"What will it take for the princess to send that actor away?"
Xiao Li remained silent, and Lu Yanzhi softened his attitude. "I've already gone back to persuade my mother. She was just momentarily possessed by a demon. This kind of thing won't happen again. If the princess has any grievances, you can come to me."
Xiao Li didn't want to pay attention to him, but Lu Yanzhi's current attitude was really intriguing.
She stared at Lu Yanzhi's face, trying to see through his skin what he was planning.
Lu Yanzhi thought Xiao Li was looking at his mask. Thinking of the wound behind the mask that she had once called ugly, he turned away embarrassedly: "This wound will heal, it just takes a little effort."
Xiao Li seemed to have confirmed something, his expression was a little bit unbelievable, and then he said something shocking.
"Lu Yanzhi, you're not attracted to me anymore, are you?"
Lu Yanzhi's expression froze, a little unnatural, but he did not evade. He said: "We are husband and wife, and it is natural for us to have a harmonious relationship."
He mustered up the courage to look at Xiao Li, but was met with shock, ridicule and pain in her eyes.
Lu Yanzhi also didn't want to admit that he liked Xiao Li, but he couldn't control his thoughts. This strange feeling was different for Liu Xueyin. It was not tolerance and care, but torment and discomfort, and an uncontrollable desire.
