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

"Master Feng chooses his words carefully. The truth is that he is just fulfilling the duties of a courtier and acting according to the instructions of the empress." Liu Changhan obviously didn't like the word "internal response" and frowned.

"Prime Minister Liu, don't be offended. I think Master Feng was also surprised for a moment, so he made the mistake."

Chu Huanyan's eyes fell on the booklet in Liu Changhan's hand, but no one came forward to take it.

"The three people the Prime Minister mentioned just now, apart from wanting to keep government affairs out of my hands, do they have other ideas?"

"What does the empress mean?"

"For example... find a way to cause some trouble for me, so that everyone can see clearly that I, a female, cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of acting as an agent in government affairs."

Liu Changhan shook his head, "Not yet."

Chu Huanyan laughed, "Then I won't read this list for now. I'd like to trouble Prime Minister Liu to continue to pay attention. If anyone is really dissatisfied with me and wants to deliberately cause trouble, then Prime Minister Liu please don't do it." Forgot to inform me in time."

Chu Huanyan's words made Liu Changhan breathe a sigh of relief.

He was originally a little worried that Chu Huanyan would be angry after getting the list and directly ordered the disposal. Although the courtiers went too far, in the end it was just because they could not accept a woman acting in government affairs. If he was really punished severely for this, it would not have much impact on the government. benefit.

but…

"Don't you want to see the list?" Liu Changhan asked.

"Of course I am a little curious, but once I see it and know who it is, I will inevitably feel unhappy, and when I make a decision, I may be biased, so it is better not to read it."

She asked Liu Changhan to lead out the courtiers, not to punish them, but just to have someone keep an eye on their behavior, and not to let them mess around in private and cause any trouble.

"Yes, I understand." Liu Changhan saluted again and put the booklet back into his sleeve.

Feng Hanyi stood aside. Although he completely understood Chu Huanyan's approach and purpose, he was still a little confused.

"Why is Prime Minister Liu willing to help the Queen?"

Liu Changhan has been in officialdom for many years. Although he has not done anything wrong, he does not seem to be without any selfish motives.

"Master Feng, do you want to hear the truth?" Liu Changhan turned his head and looked at Feng Hanyi.

When the latter nodded, he didn't take too much care that Chu Huanyan was still there, so he said some high-sounding polite words and spoke directly.

"Because I don't want to make the wrong choice again."

"Don't want to make the wrong choice again?" Feng Hanyi repeated subconsciously, with doubt in his tone.

"Yes, I have made a wrong choice once before. The Emperor and the Queen gave me a chance, but I still made the wrong choice. They say that only three things can come true. If I make another mistake this time, I'm afraid our Liu family... won't be able to save it. .”

The rare sincere tone made it clear that these were indeed his thoughts.

Since the incident involving Mr. Chen Xi last time, Liu Changhan has finally seen clearly that as long as the emperor is still the king of a country, if he gets into trouble with the empress, he will be seeking death.

Now that he has become the prime minister, what he needs to do now is to seek stability.

He hoped that while he was still alive, the Liu family could enjoy prosperity and glory.

I also hope that a hundred years from now, even if the Liu family is no longer what it is today, it will still be able to be sheltered.

No matter which one it is, you can't be the enemy of the Queen.

He had already lost a son and chose to give up adoption. Now he only had one daughter, Zhaoran, and Zhaoran had a very good relationship with the Queen.

If he hopes that Zhao Ran can live a good life and that the Liu family can be protected, it is naturally clear what he should do now.

When Liu Changhan left the palace, Feng Hanyi followed him.

On the palace road, two people rarely walked side by side.

"In Master Feng's opinion, this kind of behavior should be very disgusting." Liu Changhan looked at the palace gate in front of him and suddenly laughed.

It's just that there is not much self-deprecation in this laughter, but a sense of relaxation and relief.

"To be honest, I really didn't like Prime Minister Liu much before I went to the official position. I felt that you were delving into calculations. Although you didn't make any mistakes in government affairs, in your heart, you should always put the honor and disgrace of the Liu family before the government affairs."

Those in high positions should serve the country and the people, leaving behind personal and family petty gains. Obviously Liu Changhan did not do this.

"Yes, this is indeed the case." Liu Changhan nodded and acknowledged Feng Hanyi's words.

"But..." Feng Hanyi stopped and looked at Liu Changhan, "Actually, sometimes the official's ideas are too extreme. As long as he doesn't violate the law, hurt others, and think more about his family, there is nothing wrong with him. And this time... I have to thank Prime Minister Liu."

With that said, Feng Hanyi took a step back, distanced himself from Liu Changhan, and bowed to him with his hands raised.

"Master Liu is willing to secretly understand the thoughts of the courtiers and prevent them from causing trouble in the imperial city at this time. It is really a great help."

I have been on tenterhooks these past few days, but now I can finally feel at ease.

Liu Changhan also bowed his hand and returned the salute, "Master Feng said something serious, but the truth is that he was just following the Queen's orders."

The two stood up and walked side by side towards the palace gate again.

"Does the Prime Minister think the Queen can handle government affairs well?"

"Master Feng should already have the answer in his mind, so why bother to ask more questions. If you feel that the Queen is not qualified at all, I am afraid that Master Feng will be among the courtiers entering and leaving the Prime Minister's Palace."

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is right, but I don't like to discuss things in private. If I am an official, I would rather object in person."

"Oh, I made a mistake..."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the palace road, stretching the two figures in official uniforms extremely long.

Although there were few interactions in the past, circumstances change as the mood changes, and the opportunities between people sometimes change so much.

The same is true for the thoughts of the human heart.

Those who strongly oppose and will never be tolerated now may not become the object of strong support in the future.

Things are like water, always changing.

A month later, on the battlefield at the border.

Xiao Jinzhi, who had just captured Danyue City, received a letter from the palace.

Holding the letter, which was obviously thicker than the last time, Xiao Jinzhi raised the corners of his lips and opened the letter immediately before he could take off his armor.

Along with the letter paper, there was a small jade pendant.

Xiao Jinzhi remembered that Chu Huanyan bought it at a street stall on their way back to Tianyi from Guiyang Mountain.

The quality of the jade was not good, but Chu Huanyan liked it at a glance.

Xiao Jinzhi once asked her why she took a fancy to her, but Chu Huanyan couldn't give any reason. She only said that she found it inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Jinzhi put the jade pendant in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. Simple patterns were carved on the plain jade stone, and there was also a bunch of green tassels on the bottom, but it didn't look like it. Craftsmanship in the palace.

Xiao Jinzhi's lips curved more and more obviously, and she said firmly to Qin Li on the side: "Yan Yan must have made this for me with her own hands!"
