After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Liu Zhaoran's steps suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Could it be that he spoke too loudly just now and the emperor heard him?

But after thinking about it again, I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't say anything excessive, I just reminded Pei Zhaoqing.

After all, there had already been a lot of fuss about the marriage, and it would not be a good thing if the news spread that the emperor missed the queen too much because she left the imperial city.

Pei Zhaoqing also stopped, looked at Xiao Jinzhi and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, are you reluctant to leave and plan to catch up with the Queen now?"

Liu Zhaoran couldn't help but glance at Pei Zhaoqing again and said, what nonsense? The emperor is the king of a country, how can he leave the imperial city casually.

Xiao Jinzhi turned to look at the two of them, "What if... the Zhou family misses Yan Yan and feels that they haven't seen her for many years, so they want to keep her at home for a longer time?"

Pei Zhaoqing looked at Xiao Jinzhi and almost blurted out, "This is human nature." Fortunately, he stopped the car in time when the words came to his lips, and was more tactful when he spoke again.

"Your Majesty, is it too late for you to consider this now? After all, the Queen has left. If the Zhou family really wants to keep the Queen here for a little longer..." Pei Zhaoqing looked at Xiao Jinzhi's face and started thinking. He spoke very quickly and quickly continued, "Then, Your Majesty, just find an excuse to invite the empress back."

Well, originally he wanted to say that there was nothing the emperor could do, but facing the emperor's current look, he really couldn't be so cruel.

"What method should we use?" Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on Pei Zhaoqing and Liu Zhaoran, "When do you plan to get married?"

"Ah?" Liu Zhaoran was stunned. This topic was a bit too sudden.

Pei Zhaoqing was also stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and his face suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, do you want to choose a wedding date for us?"

During this period of time, he was trying all kinds of tricks to please Prime Minister Liu. Although the engagement was saved, as long as they were not married yet, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

If the emperor could decree a marriage and personally choose a wedding date for them, that would be a great thing!

Seeing Pei Zhaoqing's beaming look, Xiao Jinzhi suddenly felt... feeling increasingly lonely.

He silently withdrew his gaze, and with Pei Zhaoqing's expectant eyes, he slowly said, "I'm just asking casually. As for choosing a wedding date... it depends on my mood."

After saying that, he turned around again, leaving only Pei Zhaoqing who had not even had time to leave the smile on his face.

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi leaving, Pei Zhaoqing became a little anxious and quickly wanted to catch up.

"Your Majesty, please don't. Now that we've reached this point, let's continue talking. You..."

"Okay." Liu Zhaoran grabbed Pei Zhaoqing's hand and looked at him helplessly, "Your Majesty just left. It's not like you can't see that the emperor is in a bad mood. Why do you want to get together to make the emperor unhappy?"

"That's different. The emperor brought it up on his own initiative. As for the bad mood, the Queen is just visiting relatives and not eloping with anyone. It's nothing serious..."

Before Pei Zhaoqing finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming towards him.

He touched his nose guiltily, and then realized that his voice seemed a bit loud just now.

"Ahem, what, Your Majesty, I mean, the Emperor is waiting in the imperial city, the Queen will definitely be back soon!"

Xiao Jinzhi snorted lightly, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will ask Liu Changhan to terminate your engagement."

Pei Zhaoqing: "..." That's too cruel!

Although Xiao Jinzhi said harsh words, he was just trying to scare Pei Zhaoqing. Naturally, he couldn't really ask Liu Changhan to break off their engagement.

First of all, Pei Zhaoqing had a close relationship with him, and he sincerely blessed Pei Zhaoqing and Liu Zhaoran.

Secondly, if it was really because of him that their engagement was broken off, Xiao Jinzhi was worried that his wife would not be able to explain it when she came back.

Returning to the palace, Xiao Jinzhi began to live a life of "keeping an empty room alone".

After a few days like this, in the morning court, although the courtiers could see that since the empress left, the air pressure around the emperor's body had dropped a lot, but after all, it was at a critical moment when the Danyue Kingdom had just put forward the conditions. As for whether to agree to this At one point, there was still endless debate in the court.

"Your Majesty, although this is unfair to the people of Jinhu and Huzhou, since you are a citizen of Tianyi Kingdom, you should put the country first. Such an exchange will indeed be of great benefit to our Tianyi Kingdom in the future. .”

"That's right, Your Majesty, and this time the Danyue Kingdom not only proposed exchange conditions with us, Beimo also offered a bargaining chip. If we refused, but Beimo took back Cangwu Mountain, once Danyue The more they want to start a war again, they will most likely invade our Tianyi border first."

"I agree, this matter is no longer a transaction between us and Danyue. Since it involves Northern Mexico, we must consider Northern Mexico's choice."

The courtiers who chose to support the exchange spoke dryly, fearing that Xiao Jinzhi would reject this transaction.

In addition to them, there is also a group of people who are firmly opposed.

"It sounds like Beimo Country has agreed to the conditions."

"Once agreed, let's not talk about what the people of Jinhu and Huzhou think, and the words of the Han Prime Minister of Danyue Kingdom cannot be fully believed. Danyue and Tianyi have had a tense relationship for many years, and now they suddenly show their goodwill, it may not be that there is something bigger. conspiracy."

"Why is there a bigger conspiracy? Their Danyue country is short of food, and Huzhou and Jinzhou are rich in food. It is common sense that they want to exchange."

"Common sense? Humph, didn't the Danyue Kingdom covet our Tianyi's land in the past years? The method they chose was to send troops to attack. That is their nature!"

"You can't say that. After all, the regent is now in power in Danyue Kingdom. He..."

"Haven't you heard of the reputation of Huangfu Mausoleum? Moreover, he has just taken power and is establishing his majesty. How could he be willing to make such concessions and exchanges? Isn't he just waiting for those Danyue courtiers to poke his spine!"

In the Jinluan Hall, quarrels broke out one after another, and until the end of the morning court, there was still no conclusion.

And throughout the morning, including the mornings of the past few days, Xiao Jin sat high on the throne, watching the quarrel below, and never expressed his position.

Seeing that it was still the same today, after the court was over, Liu Changhan finally couldn't stand it any longer and went to the Imperial Study Room to ask for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, I dare you to ask, why has Your Majesty not expressed any opinions about the matter between Hu and Jin states?"
