Your Majesty, don't spoil me too much, my daughter and I will discuss business with you

Chapter 11 Arrested

But favoritism is not the main factor for a qualified emperor to pass on Datong to Lian Lixi.

Emperor Ming: "I just want to ask you, do you care about that girl, is it really just a relationship between a man and a woman, and not mixed with the emperor's conspiracy?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Li Xi's pupils dilated and looked at her father in disbelief, even Ling Qiangqiang who was guarding outside gasped.

It's no wonder that Emperor Ming said that if Lian Lixi rushed to that position from the beginning, then the best way to restrain a person is to make someone willingly submit to him. Fu Ronghua is the most important existence, so in In the traditional sense, to conquer a capable woman, as long as she makes her fall in love with him, then he will be safe in this game!

Lian Lixi hadn't thought about this question, to be honest, she had been avoiding this thought all the time, Hui Min was like her, was her father's doubts and speculations also her concerns?

Lian Lixi said seriously: "Father, I like her, I just think about her, and I have no intention of weighing it."

Emperor Ming: "It's rare for you to be sincere. Regardless, the rules are dead, people are alive, and identity is just a skin, but this skin is also the ability to live and live. Xi'er, do you know what I mean?"

Lian Lixi was a little moved, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, father, for making it happen!"

Just before Lian Lixi's mood calmed down, Emperor Ming changed his style of painting: "Just that, I will entrust you with the position of crown prince, can you afford it? Don't reject me first, this is related to my great life." the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people.”

Lian Liximo said that he wandered around this imperial city since he was a child, and he enjoyed watching this drama of power since he was a child. Now that he is asked to be the king of this drama, he doesn't want to do it, really don't want to do it!
Lian Lixi: "Father, I don't want to, I don't want to be trapped under the shackles of this power."

Emperor Ming seemed to know the answer a long time ago, his old and sick body withered suddenly, a tear flowed from his eyes, and he wiped it with the handkerchief of the former empress in his hand, like a little old man who can't rely on him, there is no shadow of an emperor.

Emperor Ming said again: "I know that this burden is a jack. Let your son carry it. As a father, it is incompetent. To be a king is the only way. Your mother regards the king of the underworld as her spirit, and your eldest brother is accompanied by the Buddha. When your mother was there, she often said that the fifth child is an emperor star, and His Majesty must cultivate it well. When your elder brother was shaved, he also told me that the fifth child is a blessing for the common people. Even that child Rong Hua said, Your Highness the Fifth Prince is an emperor, now you refuse to be yourself, how can you deal with yourself?"

Lian Lixi looked serious, did not look directly at Emperor Ming, turned around and looked at the early winter snow outside the window, the cold babbling blew, and the whole bedroom was eerily silent.

Ling Qiangqiang's old body and bones held on for two hours, as if she was about to collapse in the next second.

The little eunuch whispered: "Godfather, when can we go to bed?"

Ling Qiangqiang just rolled her eyes, the little eunuch retracted her neck, and went to guard outside the door.

Ling Qiangqiang secretly said: Your Majesty is being tough with His Highness the Fifth Highness, His Majesty has a stubborn temper, if His Highness does not let go, His Majesty will not give up!
I don't know how long it has passed, even Ruozhi, who got the news at the Emperor's Mansion, she is not sure about Lixi and His Majesty's Zhou Xuan.

Just standing in the snow, Miao Qing and the maids couldn't persuade her, they didn't know what evil had happened to their eldest lady, how could she bear such a thin body in such a cold day?
Qinghe: "Miao Qing, usually the eldest lady listens to you the most, so hurry up and let people in, if something goes wrong, what will happen to the livelihood of the hundreds of people in the Imperial Master's Mansion?

Miao Qing grimaced: "What does the livelihood of hundreds of people matter? In her eyes, the livelihood of only one person is more important than the livelihood of the people of the world!"

After talking about Miao Qing staying with Ruo Zhi, he would stay with him as long as Ruo Zhi stood in the snow, he was used to it, but this time, when he thought that she was for another man, although there was a grudge in his heart, it melted away. Be the white geese all over the sky, or blow away with the wind, or turn into a drop of water in your hand, whimpering silently.

After a long time, the woman dragged her numb body back into the room slowly, but wrote a few big characters on the inkstone, installed the box, and handed it to the palace man.

Ruozhi: "Take this note of mine to the palace as soon as possible, and hand it over to His Highness the Fifth Highness in person."

Lian Lixi walked through the half-closed window and door, as if recalling, the girl with two balls in her bun, pink face, and a red cloak, skating towards her.

"Brother Lixi, play with me."

"No, I'm afraid of ice, I'll slip and fall," said the little boy cautiously.

"Don't be afraid, I'm good at skating. I'll hold your hand and slide together, so we won't slip."

"really?"

The girl's innocent and confident smile made him unable to refuse. In this way, every winter, on this frozen river, there will always be two figures gliding back and forth here.

"Zhi'er, my current skills are more proficient than yours."

The young man showed off.

"Of course, I know that you are more talented than me in this area. Now that the young is better than the blue, it shows that I have a good vision, girl."

"Yes, Master Bing, you are the best." After speaking, the boy hit the girl in the face with a snowball.

"You actually sneaked up on me?" Ruozhi put her hips on her hips, puffing up.Lian Lixi grimaced, turned and ran.

"However, Zhi'er, you can still catch me to prove your strength?"

On this piece of ice, the hearty and pure laughter of teenagers and girls can be heard.

After Lian Lixi's memories were over, a young eunuch hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

Outside the door, Ling Qiangqiang knocked on the door, Emperor Ming signaled him to come in, Ling Qiangqiang took the note and looked at Emperor Ming: The Emperor's Mansion is for His Highness the Fifth Highness.

Emperor Ming nodded in agreement, Ling Qiangqiang gave the note to Lian Lixi, and the man carefully unwrapped the beautiful knot, expressing tenderness.

The note reads: Follow your heart.

Lian Lixi saw the handwriting, closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and put the note on her heart.

Emperor Ming saw some changes in Lian Lixi's state: Xi'er, it's been half a day, and my body can't hold on any longer!
Lian Lixi opened her eyes with a firm demeanor, and the note tightly held in her hand seemed to cheer herself up.In this way, he has nothing to fear.

Lian Lixi knelt in front of Emperor Ming: "Father, I only call you father today, just like ordinary people. Now that the child has been born for 16 years, there are only three prospects. First, I wish my birth mother Jiuquan will be smooth and humane again; second, I wish my father and elder brothers good health. Always be with you; three wishes to follow your own heart and pursue what you love. These three wishes are what Lixi will rely on all her life and will never be violated. Shao, in order to fulfill the three wishes, the baby can be born!"

This voice resounded through the hall word by word.

Emperor Ming's tense nerves finally subsided, and his body lay down: "In this way, I will thank the future monarch on behalf of the people."

Lian Lixi looked at the figure on the bed with her back turned to her, and waved her fingers to signal him to leave. The inexhaustible feeling was just a clasped fist, and walked away.

In the early morning of the next day, the ministers looked at each other, because Emperor Ming was sitting on the throne as usual.

Emperor Ming lightly announced Lian Lixi's position as Crown Prince, catching these ministers by surprise, and they didn't even have words to refute. Even if there were ministers who supported other princes, they had no choice but to give up.

Ruozhi also came today, and Emperor Ming said, "Shahe has returned to our Dacang land for ten years, and my husband is waiting for me to go to the video conference to show the court's care."

"It's Your Majesty, the minister is in command."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Ming went down the court hall with Ling Qiangqiang, and the ministers began to discuss at once, Huai Ran saw the right time and followed Ruozhi.

"Lord Huai, what's the matter?" Ruozhi asked.

"Emperor Master, you forgot, I am from the Ministry of Rites, and you and I will be partners in this trip to Shahe." Huai Ran said.

"Look at my memory, sir, don't blame me, this is my first time on a business trip, and I need your forgiveness."

"Coincidentally, this is also the first time for Huai."

After speaking, both of them laughed mockingly.

Shahe Department

The Shahe River is near the sea, and it was plundered by a Western Region country a hundred years ago, and it was not taken back to the Dacang territory until today ten years ago.The leader was a group of local children from Shahe, singing nursery rhymes:

I am a grain of rice, everyone eats it.

I am a drop of water that gathers together to form a river.

I am Cangcang alone, and everyone becomes a family and a country.

The children enthusiastically presented flowers to the officials from Shangping City, such as Ruozhi and Huairan, and the local officials from Shahe, headed by them, were already at the gate of the city, welcoming them in well-dressed clothes.

"The emperor's teacher and Master Huai are exhausted in boats and cars, and the lower officials are far away from welcoming them." This is Zhang Boyuan, the magistrate of Shahe County.

Zhang Boyuan spoke in Shahe dialect, Huai Ran couldn't understand it, but luckily there were Pinghua officials at the meeting to translate. Zhang Boyuan brought local officials to introduce Ruozhi and his party to the various changes in Shahe in the past few years after returning to Dacang.

"Thanks to the Holy Lord for his love and Dacang's protection, the scene of my Shahe River is becoming more and more prosperous." An official said.

Ruozhi's face turned cold: "Only I know if this shoe fits or not."

The official heard the meaning of the words, looked at Zhang Boyuan and said, "That's natural, the emperor just arrived, so naturally he doesn't know much about me, Shahe, you can just ask the people of Shahe, which one is not very popular."

Only then did Huai Ran realize something was wrong, and whispered to Ruozhi, "Why are the Shahe officials so flashy?"

Ruozhi remained silent. During the half-month journey to Shahe, she had been collecting information on various aspects of Shahe. The more she entered the direction of Shahe, the more different the information she got. Little is known about it.

Zhang Boyuan interrupted the official's conversation, and took Ruozhi and his party to the inner mansion for a banquet.

But on the way, a group of unidentified men in black suddenly broke in and approached Ruozhi. Before the woman could catch up, her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, her hands and feet were tied up.

somewhere
The man in black: "Miss the official family from Changping, you'd better be honest, we don't recognize any Dacang!"

Ruozhi was masked: "Who are you?"
