The first Chinese New Year in the first year of Tianshou was another feast of lights from thousands of families. Even Hou Xuanyan was ready to take all the concubines, princes and daughters to the upper floor to enjoy the lanterns.

Early in the morning, Li Haoxian hurried into the palace and asked to see the emperor.

Hou Xuanyan took a handful of wooden teeth that cleans the mouth, and had already applied ointment on it. He boiled water and boiled the ointment with tender techniques of mulberry and locustard, and made it into precious spices such as ginger juice, asarum, licorice, fine sausage, and myrrh. Hou Xuanyan, who was dancing at the New Year ceremony, only knew that his name was Ren Yunyao yesterday. He was wearing a brocade silk jacket with a double-centered character, and actually stood by and served with a porcelain basin of clear water.

Seeing her legs trembling slightly, her pretty face flushed, and her shy look very cute, Hou Xuanyan asked, "How is it, does it still hurt?"

"Xie Wansui, please care. I won't feel any more." The voice is as thin as a mosquito, so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his eyes. Last night, it seemed like it was cracked, and it was like a knife. How can a thing like a broken melon not be hurt?

Hou Xuanyan patted it lightly, and then cried out with a soft cry, saying, "I still said it doesn't hurt, go back and have a good rest. If you don't hurt, how can you see my strengths?"

Ren Yunyao was shy and timid, packed up the lacquer plate and porcelain basin, and lowered her head and stepped back.

At this time, Little Lizi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Qi came to ask for a meeting. I looked ugly when I saw him, and it seemed like something big was happening."

Hou Xuanyan frowned and said, "Showing the warm-up pavilion."

Li Haoxian walked around in Nuanfang Pavilion in a hurry, and finally saw the Emperor Luanyu and hurriedly met him.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Hou Xuanyan said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, what's the matter, just say it slowly."

"My daughter, since she has the support of Your Majesty, she has taken me as a father more seriously. A few days ago, she actually followed the people from the Jianshi Pavilion to Shaanxi and Gansu. The minister also sent someone to take her back to the house for the Lantern Festival, and then she found that the person was missing. This is definitely because the people from the Jianshi Pavilion deliberately couldn't get along with me. Your Majesty has to make the decision for me."

Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell into the ground in his heart. He immediately cursed, "What a big deal I think you are so sad during the holidays. I thought someone had hit Jinling! Damn, why are you so scared about such a small thing? There are many female students in the Craftsman Pavilion. Siqi didn't go there by herself. It's not good to eat and live with a group of female students. This child is very good-natured and I like it when I see it. I'm planning to accept her as a daughter. It's not that I'm talking about you, why are you so feudal? I've seen people with great storms. What if I can't live without my daughter?"

When Li Haoxian heard this, he immediately stopped doing it. The first powerful general of the Northern Expedition who was once a battlefield, is now an absolute slave to his daughter. He said in a crying voice, "How can Your Majesty treat old ministers like this? I have shed blood for the Northern Expedition, and I have been injured for Your Majesty. Just such a daughter is now running to the nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu to dig soil and build roads. That is the work done by the thieves in the past. I don't care. It was the craftsman hall that Your Majesty supported her and let her enter. Your Majesty must find it back."

Hou Xuanyan raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "If I want to establish a new trend, I will use you as a stubborn person to cure your ignorant feudal and old-fashioned habits. I will then assign her to the princess of Qin. From now on, I will be her godfather, so Siqi doesn't even have to listen to you anymore. I see what you can do!"

After Hou Xuan spoke, he turned around and left. Not only did Li Haoxian not ask for a command arrow for the festival, but his daughter was even stolen. It was so miserable.

Lee Haoxian walked out of the palace dejectedly. After a while, a little eunuch who was following him hurried out with the imperial edict. When he saw Lee Haoxian, he smiled and said, "I congratulate the Duke of China."

Lee Haoxian was confused and asked, "I still congratulate you, what's the joy? Where does my country's happiness come from?"

"Don't you know yet? Your Majesty recognizes your daughter as your daughter and has been named the Princess of Qin. This is the imperial edict. I will go to Shaanxi to issue the imperial edict soon." Although the young eunuch is young, he is already quite good at observing his words and expressions. He realized that the Duke of Qi's face was not good, so he stopped making noise. After bowing, he hurried to the guards. The little eunuchs who stayed in the palace like to go to the distance to announce the imperial edicts. They saw many markets along the way, which were much more novel than serving people in the palace.

Li Haoxian looked bitter, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. With this godfather's support, his daughter would never stop her from digging soil. What he regretted the most now was why he had to bring his precious daughter with him when he followed His Majesty to the craftsman's house. That was when she suddenly appeared.

His interest lies in the fact that the dignified Duke's daughter actually went to study the work that masons could do, which was absolutely unacceptable to Li Haoxian's worldview.

What he couldn't understand even more was that His Majesty actually supported him strongly and even tried to stop him from training his daughter.

As the capital of the empire, Jinling City has been influenced by Hou Xuanyan, and some female workers have come out to work. The Jinling Mansion newspaper reported extensively, and they are complimenting words of praise, and improvised several stories to praise them.

Hou Xuanyan is increasingly the benefit of this thing. He is simply the mouthpiece of the court, and he can always convey his ideas to the people as soon as possible.

After seeing off Li Haoxian, Hou Xuanyan was not easy. After this Lantern Festival, it was time to go to Wusongjiang Station to inspect his navy.

A few days ago, I accidentally heard the Empire's merchant ship boarding the West in the teahouse. For Hou Xuanyan, I still feel excited when I think about it. The competitiveness of the deep blue sea depends on the ability to sail. I don't know how his navy wants to compete with the West now.

In fact, his own Chinese dynasty has very good conditions, and he has no enemies in the vast seas in the east. The entire Asia has been used to the Central Plains dynasty as the overlord of this place for thousands of years. There is no strong country around him that can be compared with him at sea. Westerners are far away from the Great Six, and they cannot compare with the empire with thousands of kilometers of the territory of the Hua Dynasty. What Hou Xuanyan wants to know most now is not whether he can stand out in the eastern seas, but whether he can compete with these Europeans in the Americas, Africa and Australia.

There is no such an absolute overlord in Europe, so all forces have finished their performances after singing and playing fiercely. Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain have taken turns to become overlords, but the East is different. Hou Xuanyan has initially captured his authority, and the rest is to take a group of little brothers around him to compete with the Europeans on a larger battlefield.

In Hou Xuanyan's bedroom, except for the pregnant Chen Yuanyuan, all the concubines gathered in the Hall of Heart. Everyone was wearing formal clothes and looked very pleasing to the eye.

Hou Xuanyan sat on the top with a smile, Huang Ying'er on the left and Gu Ling'er on the right, accepting the greetings from others.

"Today is the Spring Festival. Your family is in Jinling. You can go home to visit your relatives, and the rest follow me upstairs to watch the lanterns."
