After Ren Dejing left, Li Renxiao came to the backyard with heavy steps.

As soon as he looked up, Li Renxiao saw his mother, Empress Dowager Cao, Ren Dejing's daughter, Empress Dowager Ren, and his empress, Empress Wang.

Seeing these three women waiting for him, how could Li Renxiao not know that they already knew the reason for Ren Dejing's visit?
Li Renxiao first greeted Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Ren: "My son has met the two mothers." Then Queen Wang greeted Li Renxiao: "My family has seen officials."

The four were silent for a while, Li Renxiao was the first to break the silence and said: "Don't worry, I will never hand you over, never!"

Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Ren, and Empress Wang listened to the words and continued to remain silent.

After a while, Empress Dowager Cao was the first to speak: "My son, you can't be confused at this time. Now is the critical time for the life and death of our Li family. So, no matter what, you have to endure, you You are more than 30 years younger than the protagonist, as long as you can bear it, you may not have a chance to make a comeback."

Empress Dowager Ren also said afterwards: "Sister Cao is right. You have a profound knowledge of Sinology. It is impossible not to know Goujian, the king of Yue. Now, all you have to do is to imitate him and seek revenge in the future. As for the three of us, you Don't take it too seriously, those who achieve great things cannot be fettered by women, you must remember."

Fearing that Li Renxiao would feel bad, the Empress Dowager Cao said again: "To be honest, I don't care about this kind of life. I entered the palace when I was 12 years old, and I have been living in the palace. I am used to clothes and food. life, so let us enter the palace."

Of course, things were not as the Empress Dowager Cao said, she was just trying to find a way for Li Renxiao to prevent Li Renxiao from being calm and making a wrong decision, which would eventually lead to the extinction of the Li family in Xixia.

This is actually the greatness of maternal love. The Queen Mother Cao was able to make this sacrifice, in fact, to a large extent because of her only son, Li Renxiao.

Li Renxiao clenched his fists desperately—he hated himself for being incompetent: "Why didn't I fight bloody to the end, why! Why! Why..."

Empress Dowager Ren also comforted Li Renxiao and said: "It's not all bad things for us to enter the palace. Our Li family needs some protection now, otherwise, someone will come to bully our Li family in the future, and Qinglu is too indifferent to others. Fighting, relying on her, I'm afraid we can't protect our Li family. After the three of us enter the palace, we will be able to protect our Li family through this most difficult period when we join forces with Qinglu. I will die... I will die as the emperor and you to keep a festival, and I will never teach you to be ashamed of us."

After listening to Queen Mother Ren's words, Empress Dowager Cao held her hand, and then looked at Queen Mother Ren. They made up their minds to keep this agreement together. Then Empress Dowager Cao said to Li Renxiao: "We have made up our minds. If you are A good and filial boy, don't stop us."

Li Renxiao said with tears streaming down his face: "Mother's queen..."

Li Renxiao seemed to have thousands of words to say to Empress Dowager Cao, but he didn't know where to start!

Empress Dowager Cao didn't let Li Renxiao say what he wanted to say, and looked at Empress Wang, and said, "You guys can consummate the house today, so as not to... save regrets."

turn out to be--

Because Li Renxiao is too young (not yet 13 years old), and because Li Renxiao has been involved in big and small things since he ascended the throne, Li Renxiao has not consummated the marriage with Queen Wang until now.

After hearing Empress Cao's words, Empress Wang blushed, then lowered her head, and peeked at Li Renxiao's handsome face, and said in her heart: "If I can stay with him for the rest of my life, I should be happy." How wonderful, but unfortunately only for one night..."

What Empress Wang did not expect was that Li Renxiao flatly refused: "This is absolutely impossible!"

Empress Dowager Cao was puzzled and said, "Why not? Could it be that you don't like her?"

Li Renxiao looked at Empress Wang and said, "No, she is well-educated, intelligent, capable, and it is the greatest honor of my life to marry her."

After a pause, Li Renxiao changed his tone, and said again: "But now, we are fish and meat, and the master is Daozu. If we had consummated the house before, we would have consummated it. Now, just as she is about to enter the palace, we If the house is consummated again, if the middle owner finds out about it, our Li family will definitely be doomed, you know, this kind of thing is absolutely unbearable for any emperor."

After listening to Li Renxiao's explanation, the Empress Dowager Cao realized how naive her thoughts were, and almost killed Li's family.

Some people may say, if Li Renxiao and Empress Wang don't talk about this kind of thing, how could others know about it?

wrong.

First of all, Li Renxiao and Queen Wang haven't consummated their marriage yet. In fact, many people know about it, at least all of their subordinates know about it. Therefore, in this case, there is a possibility of leaking the news.

What is more critical is Empress Wang. Li Renxiao and Empress Wang have only become husband and wife for less than half a year, and in this less than half a year, because Li Renxiao is tired of state affairs, he has not had much contact with Empress Wang, let alone communicate. Now, under such circumstances, how could Li Renxiao dare to believe that Empress Wang would keep his mouth shut for him? What's more, it has never been seen that Li Yan is the husband of Empress Wang, and Li Renxiao is just a passer-by in Empress Wang's life. Passers-by who have been in close contact with each other, how can such a cautious person as Li Renxiao bet the lives of the Li family of Xixia on Queen Wang?
Queen Wang quickly figured out the key to this, and raised her head in disappointment and even resentment!
Li Renxiao quickly pulled the words back and said: "Don't think too much, there are too many servants in the family who know that you and I have not consummated the house, and the spies of Jin Yiwei and the pro-military Duwei's mansion are all-pervasive. Understood, besides, if we don't consummate the house, it will be good for you, you should be more liked by the beneficiary if you have a perfect body..."

Although Li Renxiao tried his best to explain, Queen Wang could still hear the alienation in his words.

Empress Wang smiled miserably, and said: "If my death will not bring disaster to the Li family, I will definitely die on the spot."

After finishing speaking, Empress Wang turned around and walked towards the inner room.

From Queen Wang's miserable smile, from Queen Wang's decisive words, from Queen Wang's staggering steps, Li Renxiao couldn't see that Queen Wang's heart was really hurt by him.

But for this, Li Renxiao had no choice but to pay back - he couldn't afford to gamble!
The next day, Li Renxiao applied to the Ministry of Rites to present some beauties to Li Yanjin.

Li Renxiao donated not only Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Ren, and Empress Wang this time, but also seven other concubines of Li Qianshun, Luo Shi, a named concubine of Li Renxiao, and more than [-] school-age girls from the clan. In other words, the decisive Li Renxiao cut off all this trouble in one fell swoop.

Wang Shiyong secretly hated Ren Dejing for taking this great achievement away!
However, Wang Shiyong did not dare to be careless about matters related to Li Yan - this is also where Wang Shiyong is the smartest.

Therefore, Wang Shiyong secretly made up his mind, "Let's wait and see", and at the same time contacted the palace at the first time, saying that the Xixia Li family wanted to donate some beauties to the officials, and sent the list of beauties that Li Renxiao wanted to donate to the palace. middle.

Soon, the list was delivered to Liu Huiniang.

After reading the list, Liu Huiniang sent someone to check the details of the people on the list one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, she approved a "perfect".

Soon, the Ministry of Rites sent Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Wang and other women into the palace with more than [-] carriages.

By the time Li Yan knew about it, the rice had already turned into porridge.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yanruo said, "I never thought of wanting a daughter of the Western Xia royal family or clan.", he would definitely be despised to death.

Therefore, Li Yan simply drove to the Xixia Palace to meet the daughters of the Xixia royal family and clan...
