Rebirth of the Unruly Little Demon of the Boliang Guard

"It's simple," Xie Yu put his arm around Lin Li's shoulders, "As long as the young lady marries me first and becomes the queen, Shuya will lose the position she wants. She will naturally not marry me since she is neither high nor low."

"What, I'm the queen?" Lin Li's face was full of disbelief. She had no outstanding talent and no ability to speak of. How could she be the queen of a country?

The man couldn't help but kiss Lin Li's cheek, "Why not?"

Xie Yu has the final say on matters concerning the Queen. This position has always been reserved for Lin Li. If he can't even protect his own woman, how can he be qualified to be the king?

"I can't do that. The Queen's matter is serious. The Emperor cannot joke about it."

"The young lady will be my wife in the future. I am serious about this matter. I am not joking. After I marry the young lady, she will be the only choice for the queen."

Lin Li sat on the bed and kicked Xie Yu unhappily. "There are so many women in the harem, fighting for the emperor's favor. I can't handle it all by myself."

"The palace maids and eunuchs are in the care of Eunuch Su, and the heads of the various palaces will also handle those trivial matters. Besides, I am ahead of you, so you can just live your life with me peacefully."

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

"But their masters are not supervised by anyone?"

Xie Yu laughed. She was weak, and being kicked was just like being tickled. "Aren't you the master of them all? Why can't you take care of yourself?"

"You're annoying," Lin Li didn't want to talk to Xie Yu anymore. He knew who he was talking about. "You're just playing dumb with me and always bullying me."

The man pulled Lin Li into his arms again, "If the lady is so generous that she can give me to someone else, then I don't mind."

"What? It's you who obviously wants three harems and six courtyards, and you still say I'm stingy."

He always remembered Lin Li's words, that they would be together for life. In such a huge palace, it was enough to have Lin Li accompany him, and there was no need for other women to interfere.

Moreover, Xie Yu's heart is very small and can only accommodate one person in his lifetime.

"State affairs are busy, and I am content just to be with my young lady every day. I am afraid I don't have time to spend with other women."

"Really?"

"a man of his words."

The young lady didn't want to share a husband with someone else. She said that if that was the case, she would leave and never come back. Xie Yu always kept it in mind.

"The Queen Mother insists that you marry her?"

"She is just my aunt. I will refer to her opinions, but I don't have to follow them."

After getting Xie Yu's promise, Lin Li could finally relax and sleep peacefully with Xie Yu in her arms.

~~

Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, family reunion.

The entire palace was brightly lit, with singing and dancing, and the sound of people bustling about.

Lin Li and the Empress Dowager sat on Xie Yu's left and right respectively. Everyone present understood the logic behind this. The Emperor was declaring his sovereignty, and the candidate for the Empress was probably someone else.

Meng Ranyue and Lin Wei also arrived. Meng Ranyue was four months pregnant, so Meng Ranxue stayed by her side.

"Sister, what does the emperor mean?"

"Now the daughters of princes and nobles are probably as confused as you." Meng Ranyue smiled and lowered her head.

Everyone said that the Empress Dowager's niece, Princess Shuya, was the Empress, but now, the person around the Emperor was Lin Li, and Princess Shuya missed the banquet due to illness.

Lin Wei was drinking with the other young masters and did not pay attention to the conversation between the two Meng sisters.

"Sister, the emperor won't really let Lin Li be the queen, right?"

"I think it's possible." Lin Li has been in the palace for so long, it's almost certain that she will become the emperor's woman, although her status is not worthy of the emperor.

However, the emperor likes Lin Li, so it is not impossible for her to become the queen.

"How can that be possible? If so, it will be difficult for me to enter the palace. I have a grudge against her."

Meng Ranxue was a little worried. If she had known this would happen, Shan Chu should not have been so mean to Lin Li. If she whispered to the emperor and didn't let her enter the palace, her life would be over.

"No, if Lin Li becomes a good person, it will only benefit our Meng and Lin families, not harm them. Lin Li is not a fool, how could she turn her elbow outward? If there is any benefit, she will think of her mother's family."

Lin Li is also a smart person. Outsiders are definitely not as reliable as one's own people. If you want to find help, you have to find one's own people, people who know you well.

Only when her mother's family becomes more and more prosperous can she rise rapidly in the palace and rest assured. Lin Li must know this truth.
