The baby-making system is unreliable

Palace banquets mostly consisted of singing and dancing, which was nothing unusual. However, the singing and dancing in Yongchang were mostly performed on the water.

When night falls and the lights come on, you can see beautifully decorated boats slowly approaching from afar, as if they were floating in from a dream.

These boats carried beautiful dancers and musicians, all of them graceful and elegant.

As the boat approached, the melodious sounds of stringed instruments gradually reached people's ears, like the sound of nature.

After the boat stopped, the dancers began to stretch their long sleeves, twist their waists, and dance to their heart's content on the sparkling water.

Their dancing steps are light and graceful, like fairies in the water, and set off by the surrounding scenery, forming a magnificent picture.

"I find this dancer so... so... stunning. I wonder who is leading the group?!"

The person who was speaking seemed to be Zhou Keqi, the young master of the Zhou family. His clothes were extremely exaggerated and eye-catching, as if he was wearing a body full of gold. His family was rich, and he often dressed like a colorful peacock.

Zhou Keqi, as the head of the Zhou family, had a position in the Ministry of Works when he was only 28 or 29. He loved beautiful women the most and had many wives and concubines in his house. His son was already almost 13 or 14 years old at a young age.

Such a beautiful scenery will naturally attract everyone's attention. There are always young men who are crazy about it and their eyes are almost bright as lights when they look at it.

"Young Master Zhou is indeed a romantic man. How can you want to marry her home? It's easy. Just ask her to come over. She's just a dancer. I think the empress will allow it."

The young man opposite the man spoke with a smile. He was dressed in stone green clothes. He had been smiling like a tiger from the beginning and was not afraid of his face becoming stiff when smiling.

This is the youngest son of the Wu family, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and is deeply loved by his father. This can be seen from the fact that he was the only one brought to the banquet today.

"Si Yan, don't be rude! It was the child who was rude, but young people just like to join in the fun. I hope the empress will allow it!!"

Wu Siyu's father, who was standing beside him, had spoken at his old age, so Yun Xirou had no choice but to give him face and nodded silently in agreement.

The musicians sat on the side of the boat, playing various instruments attentively, adding more charming charm to this water song and dance.

Such a unique and spectacular song and dance performance is truly eye-opening and breathtaking!

"The dancer Saitama greets your majesty and greets all the nobles. I congratulate General Li on his return to the capital. Saitama is honored to perform for your majesty, which is already a blessing from the general."

As this clear and pleasant voice, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, was heard, a woman walked lightly with lotus steps, slowly flew into the hall, and then knelt gracefully to salute.

When everyone took a closer look, they couldn't help but gasp - what a beautiful woman!

The woman's name was Saitama. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth as white jade, as if water could be squeezed out of it with a slight touch; her slender waist was so thin that it seemed as if a slight breeze could break it.

Looking at her face again, her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, her beautiful eyes were bright and affectionate, just like autumn water; under her straight and delicate nose, her cherry lips were naturally rosy, and her slightly upturned mouth corners carried a perfect smile that made people forget the world at first sight.

Such a stunning appearance is surprisingly similar to Your Majesty, and even more similar to the late Queen Mother, as if they were carved from the same mold.

She knows martial arts! ! Yun Xirou knew it the first time she saw her, this person is definitely more than just a dancer.

"Your Majesty, this dancer... has offended the majesty of heaven. She must have had evil intentions. Her crime is truly unforgivable. I ask Your Majesty to make a judgment."

Many officials and their wives around had noticed it, but no one spoke up first. They were all thinking about the confusion. Only the Minister of Works, Mo Sang, was foolish enough to speak up first.

"Minister Mo, this matter has not been concluded yet. How can you make such a rash conclusion? Wait until you have clarified the matter before making a decision!? Your Majesty will make a fair judgment!"

A low and hoarse voice spoke, and bowed to Yun Xirou. The one who stopped him was Wu Siyi's father, Wu Zhesi. Although he spoke so kindly, his expression seemed to say that the empress had to come to a conclusion before the matter could be resolved.

Wu Zhesi was promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal. He was nearly sixty years old and had been in office for more than twenty years. He had many allies in the court and was from the Empress Dowager's mother's family. He was Yun Xirou's nominal uncle, so he was naturally arrogant.

He was very tactful in dealing with people and things, and he had seen a lot of things, so he could handle anything calmly. Compared with the literati like Wen Taifu, he was more "liked" by the people in the court.

"General Wu is right. However, whether this person showed up accidentally or intentionally, he disturbed General Li's welcoming banquet. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Yun Xirou's expression remained unchanged, and she was not afraid of confronting him at all. No matter what, she was the queen, and no matter how powerful the Wu family was, they could only be subjects, and no one could change that.

"Your Majesty... Saitama doesn't dare. Saitama is just... just a dancer. How dare she compete with Your Majesty?! Saitama doesn't dare!!"

The dancer just kept crying, covering her chest and sobbing pitifully. She looked so heartbroken as if Yun Xirou had bullied her.

"Saitama?!" Yun Yirou smiled disdainfully and looked down at her, knowing that there must be someone behind her: "Tell me where you are from? Where are your ancestral home? Where do you live? Who are your parents? How did you become a dancer?!"

It would be strange if there was no talent behind her. This Saitama is of similar age and appearance to her, and his appearance was so coincidental, appearing at the welcoming banquet where all the officials were present.

"I, I come from Yinzhou, I don't know where my ancestral home is... I don't have a home, my parents died early, and I was sold by my uncle." Saitama stuttered, kneeling on the ground and shaking. Does he really look harmless? !

"Huh?! Yingzhou? She's great. She's so beautiful, and she's from Yingzhou. Uncle, have you really never seen her before?!"

Yun Xirou thought about it carefully. Yinzhou is the place where the Wu family gathers. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? It's really a good thing.

"Saitama is a bad name. Who came up with such a name without knowing how to avoid taboos?!" Li Yinwan angrily shouted, crossing his arms over his chest, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this man doesn't look like a good citizen. Just beat him up and send him out."

"The third daughter of the Li family is wrong. This person's performance is so wonderful. It would be fine if he didn't perform well, but why did he have to beat him with a stick?"

Zhou Keqi's habit of being gentle and considerate to women is really amazing. Just look at his wolf-like eyes. If the occasion is not right, he would probably have hugged the person in his arms and loved her.

"Zhou Keqi, you are protecting this girl because she is pretty, right?!" Li Yinwan was not afraid of him. After he finished speaking, there was a burst of low laughter around him.

"You! You are so arrogant and unreasonable!" Zhou Keqi could only shake his sleeves in anger and turn away without looking at her.

Li Yinwan, on the other hand, ignored him and acted as if he didn't care, not afraid of him at all.

Mo Sang wiped the sweat off his face and asked bravely: "This woman... Your Majesty, do you want to check her background? With such a face, if... if..."

If she has a similar appearance to the empress, then she is a royal relative... This cannot be dealt with lightly. Moreover, she has been in the singing and dancing school. If there is a hidden secret...

"I think this woman's identity is questionable and should be investigated in detail. If she is really of the same bloodline as Your Majesty, she should not be left wandering around. Your Majesty should summon the Queen Mother back to the palace. She will definitely be able to give an answer."

"If it is really related, then you should ask General Wu, why ask Your Majesty!? The Queen Mother voluntarily left the palace, how can we find her whereabouts!?"

"I don't know! Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise! If I knew, how could I let Your Majesty summon the Queen Mother back to the palace!?"

"Who knows what Wu Taiwei directed and acted out?! Summoning the Queen Mother back to the palace... for this..."

Using this to seize power, and interfering in government affairs? !

Yun Xirou was speechless for a moment. Unexpectedly, more and more people joined the melee: "..."

Unexpectedly, this group of civil servants started arguing for half an hour, quoting from classics and talking endlessly.

"Enough! Do you still have me in your eyes?!" The cup in Yun Xirou's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Her deep eyes swept over the quiet crowd.

After a while, when everyone was sweating and kneeling on the ground nervously, Yun Yirou slowly spoke to the dancer, "Okay, from now on you will be a maidservant beside me, but your name must be changed! Just call me Mo Liu."

"Mo Liu obeys the order. Thank you for your grace!" Mo Liu bowed and thanked the Lord obediently. She wiped her tears the whole time, which made others quarrel because of her.

This person's appearance is definitely not a coincidence! She can't stay! ! The people behind her must also be dug out.

"Ahem... Today the protagonists are our Li family, how can we let others steal the limelight? Your servant Li Yuyan is willing to dance with a sword to make you laugh."

Li Yuyan took the initiative to step forward to help out, and looked at the empress with a little more appreciation, which was considered to have directly exposed the matter.

"That's right, second brother's sword dancing is the best in the army. Even father admires him." Li Yinwan winked at his second brother and cheered for him consciously, while looking at Yun Xirou in a flattering manner.

Yun Xirou understood what she meant and nodded in agreement. She was also very grateful to the Li brothers and sisters.

……

The next day, in Qi Zheng Palace, the people in the palace were the same as usual, but there was an extra person, Mo Liu, who didn't know the rules, but was very enthusiastic.

Yun Xirou handled the government affairs, holding Li Li in her arms, thinking about how to deal with the people behind her.

"Master... After my long observation, I found that this woman is quite ambitious. Her life experience is related to branch 2. I'm afraid it's a battle for the throne."

"Hmm! I'm afraid it's related to the people behind her, probably the Wu family, but there's no evidence."

"Host, the second branch of the story, Old Stories in Yinzhou, is waiting for you."

"..."

"Pa pa pa" three small slaps came down, and then Li Li said "meow meow meow". Of course, they were just playing around.

In the afternoon, sunlight shines into the palace through the windows, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

Yun Xirou sat on the gorgeous imperial chair and raised her hand slightly to signal Liu Zhi beside her to summon Zhao Shangyi to come over.

After a while, Zhao Shangyi walked into the hall and respectfully bowed to Yun Xirou and greeted her.

Yun Yurou smiled, her eyes fell on Mo Liu who was standing quietly at the side, and then said to Zhao Shangyi: "Zhao Shangyi, you are smart. I will hand Mo Liu over to you for teaching today. I hope you can teach her the rules and etiquette of the palace carefully."

After that, she turned to look at Mo Liu, her eyes seemed full of gentleness and expectation, and said softly: "Mo Liu, from today on, you will follow Zhao Shangyi to learn the rules of the palace. Don't slack off, understand?"

Mo Liu quickly knelt down and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will study hard."

Zhao Shangyi also hurriedly bowed in response, saying that she would "do her best" to teach Mo Liu.

Seeing this, Yun Xirou nodded with satisfaction, then waved her hand and asked Zhao Shangyi to take Mo Liu away.

After they left, Yun Xirou leaned back in her chair and took a short rest. Then she again ordered the palace maid to summon the three brothers of the Liang family and the brother and sister of the Li family into the palace.

Soon, the three brothers of the Liang family and the brother and sister of the Li family hurried over, knelt down and paid their respects with a slightly nervous look.

Yun Xirou sat up straight, looked at them with a serious expression, and slowly began to tell them about her carefully planned plan.

She had to give it a try this time to see what the person behind her wanted to do? !

As she continued her narration, everyone's faces became more and more solemn.

As soon as Yun Xirou finished speaking, Liang Moyu couldn't help but exclaimed, with worry flashing in his eyes: "Is it really necessary to do this? Your Majesty, isn't this too risky? " Others also echoed.

Liang Songqing also stood up to oppose, and said with a stern face: "How can we let Your Majesty put yourself in such a dangerous place? This is absolutely not allowed!!"

"Although this is a risky move, it is undoubtedly the most effective strategy. You know, if she really wants to use someone else's power to kill someone else, she will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity."

Li Yinwan spoke with a firm tone, his eyes flashing with courage and confidence, and he believed that it was highly feasible.

Although this plan involves certain risks, in her opinion, as long as the goal can be successfully achieved, all the efforts will be worthwhile.

"Sister, you are right. If the facts prove that it is not as we thought, and we are just worrying too much, then at most it will only waste a few days, and it will not cause too much impact or loss."

Li Yuyan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his sister's opinion, and his expression also seemed calm.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the sound of several people discussing could be heard continuously.

However, Yun Yirou remained unmoved. She stood up, put her hands behind her back, looked around at everyone with a determined look, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore. As long as you act according to my plan, we will be able to overcome the danger."

After that, Yun Yurou paused for a moment, then continued, "Kongming, I have left a letter to Yuan'an, and she will tell Miss Zhao what to do. There are many spies in the palace, so I'll trouble you to give this letter to the Imperial Master. If anything unexpected happens, I hope the Imperial Master can come forward to testify."

If it is really as Yun Xirou thought, she could take this opportunity to meet the Imperial Teacher. I wonder how he is doing now?
