No matter how perfect your Majesty is, you still can't stand the pillow wind, right? When the time comes to expand your career, maybe the court will make it easier for you.
However, Li Xinchen did not intend to owe them any favors. He was more accustomed to repaying favors first. Therefore, the donation from the inner government was not in vain. Everyone had a "certificate" signed by Li Xinchen and Lechang, and the merchants had this. It is considered satisfactory. After all, this is not just a matter of shining the lintel. In the future, if you go to other places to establish a foundation, the local government will certainly have to take care of it.
As Jiankang Prefecture's voluntary education gradually expanded, spreading to Jiangnan and other places, blossoming and bearing fruit, the other concubines in the harem also participated. Yuchi Chifan went north this time with Shen Wuhua's commission, but she couldn't do it herself. After getting out of the way, I asked Xu Su and Yang Miao to do it for me, and they naturally agreed happily.
As for Ningyuan, Li Xingchen suspected that she was more likely to join in the fun. After all, the palace was busy and there was no one to accompany her to make trouble. However, it would not be bad to let this little girl who has lived in luxury since she was a child experience the sufferings of the world.
Therefore, among the concubines in the harem, Chen Yueyi is the only one who can serve Li Xinchen now, and Yang Lihua, a female official, is also indispensable. After all, Li Xinchen sent Huang Qi to Huayin City yesterday to study and work. This is also for his future decentralization. place to prepare.
Without Huang Qi, the rest of the secretaries still lacked experience, so the memorial that appeared on Li Xinchen's desk was somewhat confusing, which made Li Xinchen feel very confused. Moreover, although Yu Wenxian was honest now, Tuyuhun in the northwest began to feel uneasy again. To be honest, coupled with the fact that the outcome of the Lingwu Battle was unknown, Li Xingchen was in a state of distress, and of course he was not in the mood to care about the two women around him.
"Your Majesty, please drink some water." Chen Yueyi brought over the teacup.
Li Xingchen nodded and took a sip.
He had to admit that it felt good to be served by someone, especially since Chen Yueyi was really good at making tea. The tea was fragrant and refreshing, and Li Xingchen felt much refreshed after smelling it. Of course, the tea was fragrant. It was also mixed with the fragrance of her daughter, which made Li Xingchen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Chen Yueyi covered her mouth and smiled softly.
And Yang Lihua couldn't help but cursed: "Fox Meizi."
Seemingly feeling Yang Lihua's rather hostile gaze, Chen Yueyi looked straight over, tit for tat, and did not give in. At that time, Yang Lihua still held the title of queen, but now everyone is competing fairly, and even Chen Yueyi is at least still among the concubines in the harem of the Han Dynasty. Among them, she is more legitimate than Yang Lihua, so she has no stage fright at all.
Li Xingchen coughed slightly. These two women were jealous here, which made him very helpless. It seemed that he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"I'm annoyed, you two, stop staring. If you stare again, your eyeballs will pop out." Li Xingchen pretended to be angry.
Chen Yueyi and Yang Lihua bowed at the same time: "Your Majesty, calm down, I know I was wrong."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Yueyi fell on Li Xingchen's lap and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of being jealous of the Yang family sisters. Your Majesty can't unjustly accuse the slave family. Although I and the Yang family are There is a feud between the father and the father in the Yang family, but it will never fall on the sisters in the harem, so please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Yang Lihua immediately gritted her teeth.
Hu Meizi, according to what you mean, I took the initiative to stir up trouble?
Li Xingchen laughed, stretched out his hand to pull up Chen Yueyi's chin, and looked at the beauty's pitiful expression: "Okay, I don't intend to blame you. Just stand down and be obedient. I will go find you later."
Chen Yueyi hurriedly stood up and agreed.
When Chen Yueyi left, Li Xingchen turned around and said, "Why are you still staring?"
Yang Lihua suddenly said aggrievedly: "She is the first to complain!"
Rubbing his temples, Li Xingchen pointed to the memorials on the table: "So you have forgotten your own job? It has been half an hour since you reviewed these memorials, why are they still here?"
Yang Lihua saw that Li Xinchen was obviously bad-tempered, and hurriedly collected the memorials. But Li Xinchen said helplessly: "Since she is wrong, just let her go."
The movements of Yang Lihua's hands stiffened, and she suddenly raised her head. This time she did not avoid Li Xingchen's gaze, and whispered: "I have a clear conscience. One life is for another. I once saved her life, so
There is nothing to avoid. As the emperor, Your Majesty cannot favor one thing over another."
Her voice was very soft, but every word seemed to be blaming Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen's head suddenly felt heavy. He did not expect that Yang Lihua would protest directly and uncharacteristically. At that moment, Li Xingchen gently held her hand. Yang Lihua's hand was cold and trembling slightly. After a while, she pulled it out on her own. Obviously she had no intention of doing so.
Even though she was wronged, she was the one who wanted to be strong, so why should she give in?
In the previous disputes in the harem of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chen Yueyi pressed forward step by step, but she just let it go.
There is a force in her heart that drives Yang Lihua to express her dissatisfaction.
Li Xingchen was thoughtful.
He had to admit that he didn't have that much thought, nor could he have that much time to care about everyone in the harem. He was the emperor, and if he wanted to sit in this position, he could become any kind of saint.
You alone cannot be the Saint of Love.
As the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded, more and more people came under the rule of the Han Dynasty. As long as the feudal imperial system did not change, if you want to consolidate the country, you must have enough royal blood, and the royal family must
The prerequisite for the inheritance of bloodline is naturally the size of the harem.
Therefore, whether it is Li Xinchen's own greed or the demands of his ministers, there will inevitably be more and more people in the harem, of course women. And Li Xinchen actually really understands, and the other party also understands him, only
Just a few people including Lechang, Xiao Xiang, and Yuchi Chifan.
As for Chen Yueyi and Yang Lihua, they are nothing more than Li Xinchen's trophies. Li Xinchen can completely enjoy them and vent his feelings on them without considering any of their thoughts and feelings.
But Li Xingchen couldn't do this after all, because he didn't want his blood to turn cold completely, and he didn't want his harem to be filled with murders and frame-ups. This would not only be a threat to the people he loved, but also a threat to the people he loved.
The threat to his own children. If the future emperor of the Han Dynasty is immersed in the power struggle in the harem for a long time, how dark will his psychology be?
Li Xingchen couldn't imagine it, so when something started to happen, he had to find a way to stop it.
But in today's matter, it seems that Li Xingchen has not yet reached the point where he needs to take action.
Yang Lihua fell to her knees, seemingly recovering from her stubbornness and anger.
