After dinner, the setting sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.

In the small courtyard, Empress Changsun sat on a chair. In front of her, Li Nian was busy squeezing sugarcane juice in front of the millstone.

This warm scene made Empress

Changsun feel inexplicably relaxed. Born in an imperial family, in the eyes of others, it may be rich and prosperous.

However, she has never really enjoyed such an easy and comfortable life.

This kind of life is very attractive to Empress Changsun.

"Nian'er, go slower, don't hurt yourself!"

In front of the millstone, Li Nian pushed the stone mill hard. The huge millstone formed a sharp contrast with his thin body.

Seeing Li Nian's face flushed, Empress Changsun felt very distressed and stood aside and said with concern.

That scene was like an ordinary mother caring about her son.

""Auntie, please stand further away. This thing is heavy, be careful not to touch you!"

Li Nian waved his hand nonchalantly.

After working for a long time, Li Nian finally couldn't bear it anymore and sat down on the ground. Empress Zhangsun beside him hurriedly brought tea and handed it to him, and wiped the sweat off his face with an embroidered handkerchief.

"You kid, why are you doing all this?"

Empress Changsun looked distressed.

"Of course I make money!"

Li Nian drank a mouthful of tea.

"Are you short of money?.....Auntie has some savings here."

Seeing Li Nian's small body pushing the millstone that was bigger than him, Empress Changsun felt so distressed that she almost blurted out.

If you want money, I have it! As much as you want!

"Aunt, it's not easy for you to come from afar to live with your relatives, how can I ask for your money."

Li Nian comforted her,"Besides, a real man should be upright and make money to support his family with his own hands, it's not shameful!"

Seeing Li Nian's look, Empress Changsun chuckled and said,"What is your ideal? To be a rich man?"

Touching her chin, Empress Changsun sat on the chair, and Li Nian leaned on the edge of the chair, looking at the setting sun, thinking:

"Being a rich man is actually pretty good."

"However, with my temper, I can make a little money, but there is no chance of making a lot of money!"

In this era of imperial supremacy, the status of merchants is very low. Even if they have huge sums of money, they cannot resist the imperial power.

"So you want to be an official? Although your uncle Li is only a minor official, if you are willing, he can arrange a job for you."When

Li Nian heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"What's the point of being a small official? I won't do it if I have to kneel down to others!"

Empress Zhangsun raised her eyebrows, covered her mouth and chuckled,"Then how big an official do you want to be? Shangshu Shilang? Become a marquis and a prime minister?"

Li Nian also shook his head:"Being a high-ranking official has its own difficulties. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If the emperor is happy today, he will give you some sweet things. If he is unhappy tomorrow, snap, your life is gone!"

"It's not good for a high official either!"

After hearing what Li Nian said, Huan'er on the side was already scared and sweating.

If such insults to the king were discovered, even his head would be chopped off.

However, Empress Zhangsun smiled and said,"The current emperor seems to be very virtuous. Your worry should not happen."

Li Nian also raised his eyebrows and said,"Li Er, he's okay, he's a wise monarch!"

"plum.....Li Er?"

Hearing this title, the smile on Empress Chang Sun's face suddenly froze.

Hearing Li Nian calling Li Shimin Li Er, Empress Chang Sun's face changed.

"How can you call your father that?......The current emperor!"

Empress Changsun rarely retracted her smile, her face a little

Li Nian leaned on the chair and said leisurely:"Isn't Li Shimin the second son? It's right to call him Li Er!"

(What a loving father and filial son!)

Turning his head and looking at the anger on Empress Changsun's face, Li Nian remembered. In this day and age, the emperor is highly respected. Aunt Li is from an official family, so she naturally regards the imperial power as more important than anything else. She apologized repeatedly and said:"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue!"

Empress Changsun's expression eased up, and she seemed to realize that her attitude scared Li Nian, so she said kindly:"Nian'er, just call him like this in front of me. Don't call the current emperor like this in front of others in the future. If others hear it, it will be a serious crime!"

Seeing that Empress Changsun did not blame him, but instead taught him earnestly, Li Nian's heart suddenly warmed

"Aunt Li is right, I took note of it!"

"Hmm!"

Rubbing Li Nian's head, Empress Changsun thought for a moment and asked,"What do you think of the princes of the current dynasty?"

Li Nian said,"The emperor is a good emperor. It is not an exaggeration to call him the greatest emperor of all time.""

"Oh?"

Empress Changsun was surprised and asked,"You think so highly of the current emperor?"

Li Nian explained,"Although Li Er did some stupid things, he also made great achievements."

"Under his rule, the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded unprecedentedly, and he conquered the Turks in the north, and was called the Heavenly Khan by the Turks!"

"Destroyed Tuyuhun in the west and incorporated the entire Hexi Corridor into the territory of the Tang Dynasty"

"He also conquered Gaochang and established the Anxi Protectorate"

"We fought against Tubo in the south. Although we did not conquer it, we did win more battles than we lost!"

"What a rare good emperor!"

Hearing these words from Li Nian, Empress Changsun widened her eyes with horror.

How could this child be so familiar with the affairs of the court?

Heavenly Khan!

Your Majesty was called Heavenly Khan by the Turks? How come I didn't know about this?

Also, destroy Tuyuhun. Although Tuyuhun had some friction with the Tang Dynasty, it has never been heard that the Tang Dynasty wanted to use troops against Tuyuhun.

Although she was the queen, she was one of the few virtuous queens in history who assisted the king. She was not completely ignorant of the affairs of the court.

On the contrary, if Empress Changsun was not a woman, with her ability, she would be more than enough to be a prime minister.

It was precisely because he was familiar with the political affairs of the court that he was so surprised at what Li Nian said.

"Nian'er, you said that His Majesty would wipe out the Turks? And be called the Heavenly Khan?"

"When did this happen?"

Empress Changsun asked hurriedly.

"Next year!"

Li Nian said:"Li Jing's army defeated the Turks, captured Jie Li Khan, and annihilated the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop."

"bright......Year��"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Nian as if she were a monster.

"How do you know what will happen next year? Do you know the art of astrology?"

Li Nian finally reacted and laughed,"Aunt, these are just my guesses. Just treat this as a joke!"

"No!"

"This is not a joke!"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Nian seriously, with horror flashing in her phoenix eyes.
