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

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. We want to persuade the Emperor for the sake of the Queen." Some courtiers immediately agreed.

"That's exactly what you said. I also ask your Majesty to think about the Queen and don't let the Queen be criticized by others."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the courtiers in front of him, with a slightly cool curve on his lips.

"Using Yan Yan as a cover is indeed a good reason. However, if I really alienate Yan Yan as you wish, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that my queen is not as important as those rumors."

Liu Changhan was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty..."

"Prime Minister Liu has been in officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands the key points. If I give in in the face of rumors this time, will someone deliberately create rumors next time to force me to give in again and again? If this continues, I will Is it possible that this emperor will become the puppet of rumors?"

Xiao Jinzhi's tone became more serious, with a solemn tone in it.

Liu Changhan and others quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty is aware that we have no such intention."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at them coldly, "I want to believe that these people do not mean to coerce me with rumors, and I also want to believe that you are all sincere ministers. But at the same time, I also hope that you understand that no matter how many people there are, It is said that the harem and the court are inseparable, but my queen will not allow others to dictate. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

"Yes, Wei Chen, please bear this in mind." Liu Changhan frowned and said.

The courtiers behind him also responded one after another, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"Wei Chen, please remember. Wei Chen, please remember."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and softened his tone a little, "It's getting late, everyone, please step aside. As for the remaining matters, we will discuss them tomorrow."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

After the courtiers left, Xiao Jinzhi finished handling the remaining government affairs at hand and returned to the palace.

What happened in the Imperial Study Room has also reached Chu Huanyan's ears.

She leaned on the soft couch and looked at Xiao Jinzhi who walked in, smiling helplessly.

"You deliberately didn't want people to suppress the news. I'm afraid that what you said in the imperial study will spread throughout the court tomorrow morning."

"What I want is to spread the word." Xiao Jinzhi walked to the soft couch and sat down, reaching out and pinching Chu Huanyan's calf, "Is it not swollen?"

"No, don't worry." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "But even if those courtiers know what you said today, they may not completely give up their thoughts all at once. Xiao Jinzhi, if the rumors are really too powerful, then you... …”

Chu Huanyan originally wanted to ask Xiao Jinzhi to do a good job and not to have too many conflicts with the officials over this matter, but when she met Xiao Jinzhi's eyes, the rest of her words suddenly stopped. Stuck in the mouth.

"Yan Yan, you clearly said you would not stand on their side." Xiao Jinzhi said with grievance in his tone.

Before getting married, Yan Yan had clearly said that she would not let him down and would stand by his side.

"I was wrong." Chu Huanyan smiled helplessly, "I made a mistake and I apologize to you."

She had just come back. Although the government affairs were sorted out, there were still many things to do next. She just didn't want Xiao Jinzhi to be too distracted by these things.

"It's good that you know you were wrong." Xiao Jinzhi approached Chu Huanyan and kissed her on the lips, "But since you know you were wrong, you have to accept the punishment."

"How do you want to be punished?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows.

"I'll punish you by eating bird's nest tonight." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile, and then called out to the door.

Not long after, Xianyue walked in carrying freshly stewed bird's nests.

Chu Huanyan frowned subconsciously and didn't want to eat.

"Yan Yan, Shen Chi said, in addition to medicine, you should also take appropriate supplements." Xiao Jinzhi took the bird's nest handed over by Xian Yue and fed it to Chu Huanyan's lips, "Be good, eat some."

Looking at Xiao Jinzhi and Xianyue's expectant eyes, Chu Huanyan suppressed the discomfort in her heart and opened her mouth to eat.

Although she knew that Chu Huanyan couldn't eat much, when Xianyue was stewing the bird's nest, she still hoped that her young lady could eat some, so she specially stewed a large cup. Naturally, Chu Huanyan couldn't finish it. After less than half of it, she was completely I don’t want to drink anymore.

Xiao Jinzhi handed the remaining bird's nest back to Xian Yue, "Okay, you can go down and rest too."

"Your Majesty, the medicine package prepared by Dr. Shen said that starting from tonight, you can give your concubine a foot bath before going to bed. I'd better serve your concubine and soak her feet first, and then..."

"No need, I'll just come. Please step back."

"Yes." Xian Yue responded, "That slave will have someone bring the cooked medicinal soup over."

Xianyue exited the room, and soon two young eunuchs came in carrying a wooden basin for foot bath.

When they saw Xiao Jinzhi squatting on the ground, taking off Chu Huanyan's shoes and socks, the two young eunuchs were so shocked that they almost let go of the basins in their hands.

Is the Emperor waiting for the Queen to soak her feet?

As soon as the word "serve" came up, the two young eunuchs shuddered in unison.

How could they think like this? How could the emperor use the word "serve" when doing things? If the emperor knew their thoughts, there would be no chance of survival!

Thinking of this, the two young eunuchs hurriedly lowered their heads, trembling with fear and not daring to express their anger.

"You can go out after you put it down." Xiao Jinzhi said while rolling up his trousers for Chu Huanyan.

The two young eunuchs quickly put down the wooden basin and quickly retreated out of the dormitory.

"You scared them." Chu Huanyan said with a smile, "I'm afraid tomorrow morning, in addition to what you said in the imperial study room, someone will tell the king of the country to wash someone's feet."

"I'm washing my wife's feet, what's wrong?" Xiao Jinzhi stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water in the basin on the side, and moved the basin to Chu Huanyan's feet, "It's a little hot, so be careful when you put it in. "

"Okay." Chu Huanyan responded with a smile.

Xiao Jinzhi sat back on the soft couch again, holding Chu Huanyan and letting her lean into his arms.

"Yanyan, it will be fine."

"Of course it will be fine." Chu Huanyan said with a smile and put her arms around Xiao Jinzhi's waist, "And I feel much better recently than before. Not only me, but also our children will definitely be fine."

"That's what Yanyan said." The smile on Xiao Jinzhi's lips deepened, she turned her head slightly to glance at Chu Huanyan, and gently kissed her forehead, "If you feel sleepy, just lean on me and sleep for a while. When the water cools down later, I will carry you to bed."

"Okay." Chu Huanyan responded, hugged Xiao Jinzhi, and closed her eyes in relief.

It was quiet in the dormitory, except for the occasional sound of lights exploding.

Xiao Jinzhi held the person in his arms, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart.

At this moment, they looked like an ordinary couple.

Or perhaps, at this moment, they are just an ordinary loving couple.
