Leng Xi hesitated for a moment, pursed his dry lips, and solemnly clasped his fists.

"Your Majesty, I have been in bed for the past few days. After careful consideration, I came up with an idea and came to you today to ask for your order."

Leng Yu looked at him with some doubts,

"If you have anything to do, Lord Xi, just tell me! You have contributed a lot to repelling the enemy army of Beihai Kingdom this time. I originally thought of giving you a reward when you get better. Now that you are here, if you have any ideas, just tell me Bar!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I just want to say that I have done many wrong things in the past, said many wrong things, and made you unhappy countless times. I feel ashamed of you, so I would like to ask you to bring the elders of Prince Xi's Mansion to your attention." Xiaodu should be sent to a remote place, so that I can feel more at ease."

Leng Xi's words surprised Leng Yu. He did have this plan, but before he could speak, Leng Xi said it first.

But before he could speak, Yongning took the lead and grabbed the conversation.

"What are you talking about, Xi'er? Don't say that you haven't made any outrageous mistakes. Even if you have, you are brothers, and the emperor can still send you to a deserted place just like the late emperor did to his uncle. ah?"

Yongping also nodded there,

"Yes, my father is so ruthless that he can't even tolerate his own brothers. The emperor is different. He is tolerant and bright. Not to mention that you have made meritorious service this time. Even if you have not made meritorious service, he will not allow you to go. It’s from a remote place, right, Your Majesty?”

Leng Yu's brows knitted into a knot at this moment. He had originally wanted to borrow Po Xia Donkey and answer Xia Leng Xi's request. After some interference from the two sisters, it now seemed that he had to properly retain him.

So, he looked at Leng Xi with a slight frown,

"If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. Since you already know your mistakes and have made merit this time, I will neither reward nor punish you. It can be considered as making up for your fault. As for your idea of ​​going to a remote place, let me think about it. You should also do it well. Think about it and don’t act impulsively.”

Leng Xi suddenly realized that if he didn't make a final decision on this matter in front of the two imperial sisters, he might have a long night and many dreams.

When Leng Yu gave him the order, he changed from active to passive. By then, he lost the right to choose.

So, he looked at his two sisters and nodded with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, what the two sisters said just now makes me feel that my request just now is a bit too selfish. I should not say these words for my own selfishness without careful consideration. This is obviously to trap the emperor. To the extent of being unkind and unjust, my brother has made a mistake again, and please be punished by the Emperor."

Having said this, he suddenly raised his right hand and made an oath,

"I swear in front of my two sisters that from now on, I will wholeheartedly assist the emperor and do my part for the prosperity of Daning Kingdom. If I have any second thoughts and am willing to endure the punishment of being quartered with five horses, I ask your Majesty and Queen to warn you. Please tell me, two sisters."

His impassioned oath actually put Leng Yu in a passive position.

Right now, even if he wanted to send Leng Xi out of the capital, he couldn't say it.

Princess Yongping looked at Leng Xi and nodded in praise.

"Xi'er has really grown up. Your Majesty, I heard that you have reused Ming'er, why not reuse Xi'er? He has been very smart since he was a child, and he will definitely become your right-hand man."

Yongning was also there to persuade,

"Yes, Xi'er is a thoughtful person. You can make sense of anything you say to him. He should be put to good use."

Leng Xi saw Leng Yu's expression turned ugly and bowed again to express his sincerity.

"Your Majesty, my two sisters Miao Zan, I deserve to be ashamed, but I really feel repentant this time and want to help the Emperor wholeheartedly. By the way, I ordered the accountant to do a rough calculation before I came. The income from the shop under my name currently has a balance of more than 3 taels of silver. I have left some for turnover, and I have taken [-] taels and contributed it to the national treasury to show my loyalty to the emperor and the country of Daning."

3 taels of silver?This is no small sum of money.

Leng Xi has always been stingy, but this time he actually showed his loyalty by offering 3 taels, which surprised Leng Yu.

He glanced at Luo Lan, his brows filled with questions.

But now, Leng Xi has shown his loyalty to him, and he has absolutely no reason to force him to leave.

Instead of sending someone away, it is better to win his heart.

If he could serve the court wholeheartedly, it would be a good choice.

Thinking of this, he nodded happily,

"I am very pleased that Lord Xi is so loyal. With you assisting me, I can feel a lot more relaxed. Besides, the taxes paid to the court every year for the shop under your name are also considerable, so don't go outside. Think about it, stay with peace of mind! I will accept the 3 taels of silver on behalf of the treasury. As for the official position, you haven’t recovered well yet, so don’t worry now, I will arrange it properly later.”

Leng Yu's words made Leng Xi's heart brighter. As long as he could tell him to stay, his 3 taels of silver would be in vain.

He immediately replied with clasped fists in high spirits:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for retaining me. I will do my best to benefit the people and serve the court."

Seeing that the two brothers seemed to be reconciled as before, Luo Lan also felt very relieved.

As long as Leng Xi no longer has evil thoughts, no longer does evil, and can help Leng Yu wholeheartedly, over time, I believe An An will forgive him.

Yongping also stood up happily and said:

"Your Majesty, I promised Princess Xingnan that I would accompany her to the back garden. Xi'er, if you have nothing to do, you can go too and meet Princess Xingnan and Prince Daji by the way. You were a bit rude for not coming yesterday."

Leng Xi nodded in agreement,

"Okay, I was just about to apologize to them."

Before leaving, Yong Ping looked back at Leng Yu, "Your Majesty, let's go first. By the way, Princess Xingnan wants to go hunting. I wonder when the Emperor will be free?"

hunt?

Leng Yu pondered for a while, then looked at Luo Lan,

"Would the queen want to go?"

Luo Lan knew that Princess Yongping wanted to provide time for Xingnan and Leng Yu to get in touch so that Leng Yu could fall in love with Xingnan and marry her.

Leng Yu naturally knew what she was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't ask her.

But if she said she didn't want to go, the emperor would definitely say that he didn't want to go either. In that case, Princess Yongping would definitely find fault and say she was ignorant.

We can't do this by force, we can only think of ways slowly.

She nodded bravely,

"Okay, I haven't hunted yet."

Leng Yu's eyes obviously dimmed a bit, and he nodded in a cold voice,

"I will arrange it later, please don't worry, Sister Huang."

Only then was Yongping Gong contentedly leading Yongning and Lengxi's family towards the door.

After everyone left, Leng Yu turned to look at her and asked dissatisfiedly,

"Why didn't you refuse just now?"
