After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

The drizzle dripped on the glazed eaves, washing the glass lamps clean and clear, and the sky and water were as green as dust.

The black hair on both sides of Feng Qiwu's shoulders fell, hiding his face and the look in his eyes, but his gaze, as menacing as that of a jackal, tiger or leopard, followed him like a shadow, carrying with it a wanton heat.

Wen Ranyan was unaware and still waited for his reaction with a smile.

The hall was silent for several moments. Feng Qiwu was still silent, but Wen Ranyan felt an increasingly intense and passionate feeling, as if it could burn her.

Feng Qiwu pinched the soft flesh on her waist, and after a long while he murmured, "You really know how to give me a hard time."

What she said can indeed solve the problem at the source, but it is really shocking and unorthodox.

The six words "establishing schools and setting up imperial examinations" sound simple, but the weight of them is as heavy as a thousand pounds. This move is beneficial to the poor and the common people, but it hurts the aristocratic families, and most of the officials in the court come from aristocratic families.

As a century-old family with a prominent status, if they insist on implementing the new system, they will be going against the entire court. At that time, the turmoil caused will be unimaginable and may even shake the entire court.

However, the current rules and regulations are already incomplete and need to be gradually polished and supplemented to become more complete. And in this vast century of human interaction, there must be pioneers to create a precedent, otherwise they can only stand still, mark time, and become increasingly corrupt.

He believed that the turmoil was only temporary, and the advantages would gradually become apparent over time.

We should not only look at the present, but also look at future generations.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wen Ranyan raised her red lips and asked teasingly as if to provoke him, "Your Majesty, you dare not?"

"You don't have to provoke me."

Feng Qiwu gently stroked her cheek, from the top to the bottom from the eyelashes to the nose, and finally stopped at her red lips. The heat from his fingertips completely enveloped her.

Wen Ranyan raised her head, her eyes sparkling with light, and her clear and charming eyes stared straight at him.

Feng Qiwu also stared at her, with all kinds of complex emotions lingering in his eyes, which finally condensed into a deep and thin smile. All kinds of teasing and mischief accumulated in his eyes, with a hint of madness and eagerness to break free from the shackles.

He curled his thin lips and whispered in her ear, "I've had this thought before, but I didn't think it as carefully as you did. Now I see that you have such a unique idea and you consider the overall situation. It's really surprising."

As he spoke, he moved closer, his head resting on the side of her neck, but his hand slowly covered her heart. The sound of her even heartbeat spread through the fabric of her clothes in his palm, like a silk thread gently wrapped around him, allowing him to cover her deeper, and he did not let go for a long time.

I don't know what this heart is like, it's really clever and delicate. Some of his ideas always coincide with his, making him extremely happy and excited.

He would never let go of such a treasure that fit him so perfectly.

"So, what is your idea?" Wen Ranyan's eyes were half narrowed, and a scent like orchid came over.

The two were close to each other, their breaths closely intertwined. Feng Qiwu leaned over and kissed her neck over and over again. He stopped only when he had tasted enough of that sweetness and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

A hoarse voice followed, "Such a good idea must be implemented. Beilang's original old system is no longer applicable to the present. If we want the country to prosper, we must inject new ideas and implement new changes. Otherwise, we will always stay where we are and it will only be a matter of time before we are annexed by foreign races."

"Since the courtiers invited me to join, I fulfilled their wish."

His phoenix eyes were filled with a peaceful smile, but to others he looked like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, or a madman who had gone against the grain. He was surrounded by a sense of danger and oppression, and was shrouded in the predatory majesty of an emperor with the power of life and death.

He is the new master of Beilang and also the master of the world. Everything he does depends on a single thought.

"This move will do more good than harm and will benefit you." Wen Ranyan raised her eyebrows, not surprised by his concession.

It was obvious that his ideas were so trendy and not at all conservative, but my heart still trembled slightly.

She likes smart people the most, and Feng Qiwu is such a person. It is even more valuable that he can listen to other people's opinions even though he is in a high position.

"Since you think so much about me, what should I reward you with?" Feng Qiwu's throat rolled, and his eyes became more affectionate and lingering.

Wen Ranyan's heart was filled with alarm and she made a move to get up from him.

At this moment, the slender waist was fastened even tighter, and the blood vessels in his taut arm muscles expanded with incredible strength, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood.

The thunderstorm came again, and the light in the hall became dim.

Wen Ranyan could clearly feel the wolf-like burning gaze sweeping back and forth across her face, deeply penetrating into her bones, yet unavoidable.

Before she could utter a word, Feng Qiwu leaned over and kissed her impatiently.

Her teeth were pried open with force, and then he penetrated straight in with an almost wolf-like predatory ferocity, which soon made her body go limp.

The corners of Wen Ranyan's eyes were incredibly red, and all her sobs and moans were swallowed up by them.

Another thunderbolt struck——

The palace was filled with warmth, like the ups and downs of the sea.

Two days before the new emperor ascended the throne, the princes received the imperial edict and rushed here from their fiefdoms at full speed.

They rushed all the way to the capital without any delay and finally arrived the night before. However, due to the tight schedule, the princes' mansions in the capital had not yet been cleaned up, so they had to stay in the royal post station.

The post station, which had been quiet for a few days, was quite lively tonight. Brothers who had not seen each other for many years rarely got together and always had a lot to talk about.

Prince Yongqing Helian Yue had just spoken a few words to his brothers when he was summoned to Shou'an Palace by the empress dowager's oral order.

Shou'an Palace seemed particularly deserted at night. New people could not enter and only a handful of old people were left.

Helian Yue stepped into the palace wearing a brocade robe. Liangzhou was bitterly cold, and the feng shui there was not good for health. On the contrary, the constant cold and frost had scraped and roughened his skin, making him look like a garrison soldier, not a pampered nobleman.

"My son, my son..."

The Queen Mother looked at the visitor and was so excited that she almost broke the Buddhist beads in her hand.

She walked towards him with tears in her eyes, her figure almost staggering, and stood in front of Helian Yue. She touched his face with trembling hands, looking at it carefully, bit by bit, as if she wanted to engrave all his growth and changes in her heart.

After a long while, she choked up and said, "You have suffered during these years in the fiefdom."

Seeing this, Helian Yue also felt a little bitter in his heart, "I am not miserable. Now that I can return to the capital to see my mother, I can finally see the moon after waiting for so long."

He and the late emperor Helian Xiao are brothers from the same mother and look very similar. They are both equally handsome, but he is a bit gentler and less eerie than the late emperor. No wonder the empress dowager likes him more.

Parents always like children who are more well-behaved.

"Come and sit down. Let's talk to your mother for a while." The Queen Mother wiped her tears and then pulled him to sit down.

Helian Yue sat beside her. The palace maids serving in the hall had already been dismissed, so the two of them could chat casually about some personal matters.

The candlelight flickered in the hall, and the two people's shadows were projected onto the white wall beside them, creating a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.

"You mean, the new emperor's call for you to return to Beijing is not simple?" The empress dowager was stunned and looked at Helian Yue in panic.
