In the heart of the empress dowager, Xiao Rong, the youngest son, is her lifeline of the naked eye, and ten or eight older sons are not comparable to those who are piled up together.

So no matter how angry the Empress Dowager was about Meng Lianyi's private exit from the palace, Xiao Huang immediately smiled and ignored him.

Meng Lianyi, who knelt on the ground, thought she could not escape this disaster, looked at Xiao Yan with gratitude.

She just said that she is the heroine who travels through time. Even if she suffers, a prince charming will come to save her from the fire and water.

Xiao Li was too lazy to pay attention to what the queen was thinking. At this moment, he looked at the affectionate appearance of the empress dowager and Xiao Huang, and his face became colder.

He suppressed the anger and the unknown feeling in his heart, and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, it's getting late. I still have memorials and I will give up first."

The Queen Mother waved her hand indifferently, and her loving gaze did not move on Xiao Rong for a moment: "Go, go, take the queen away. You can do whatever you want. The Ai family can't control it."

Seeing that there was only one Xiao Yan in the empress dowager's eyes, Xiao Li drove him away like a fly, and said lightly with a blank expression: "I understand."

Then he left Chonghua Palace with Meng Lianyi.

Seeing this, Xiao Ying advised the Empress Dowager: "Why should the Empress do you feel so angry with the Emperor's brother?"

The two of them were not close to Xiao Li because of the adoption of the first queen. Now they are both angry and unwilling to bow their heads. The relationship between mother and son becomes more and more rigid.

Even if Xiao Ying deals with it, there is no effect.

Fortunately, Xiao Li is still very concerned about him. He has not had the relationship between the two alienated brothers, otherwise the task would be difficult to do.

The Queen Mother said indifferently: "Where am I angry with him? It's clear..." She suddenly stopped and changed the subject, "Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. Yes, when will you get married? You are already in a bad state..."

Xiao Ying heard this topic of forced marriage again and quickly interrupted: "Mother, the emperor said that there was something wrong with me before, so I will take a step forward. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, before the empress dowager could have the chance to keep her, she ran away in a flash.

"Oh..." The Queen Mother looked at his back in amazement and smiled angrily, "This kid runs faster than a rabbit."

She looked at the old maid beside her, sighed, and asked, "Why do you think this child is not willing to marry? A good child must be so cold."

The old lady has been with the Queen Mother for so many years, so she naturally knows what she likes to hear: "The Queen Mother is so worried, so she personally chooses a good girl who knows the cold and the hot for the prince."

The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement and said, "It is true that the Ai family needs to check it personally. But what should I do if the child is not willing?" She can't force her son to marry a wife she doesn't like, right?

The old lady said, "You can choose a few more first, and then let the prince choose them in person. If the prince doesn't like it, continue to choose, and you will always find what the prince likes."

The Empress Dowager looked at her with praise, and then hurriedly asked someone to investigate the information about her daughter who is suitable for marriage in the capital.

*******

After Xiao Ying left Chonghua Palace, he did not leave the palace, but went to the imperial study room.

At this time, Xiao Li should still be teaching Meng Lianyi a lesson in the imperial study.

Sure enough, when Xiao Rong stepped into the imperial study room, he heard a scolding sound that suppressed his anger and lowered his volume. It seemed that Xiao Li was really angry.

Xiao Rong looked at the fragments and tea stains of the tea cup on the ground, and his eyes turned around Meng Lianyi, who described the slightly embarrassed appearance.

Meng Lianyi only had some water stains on her clothes, and there were no scars on her body. Obviously, although Xiao Li was so angry, she was still very rational and did not do anything verbal to Meng Lianyi.

Meng Lianyi, who had been sprayed by Xiao Li for half an hour, was like seeing a savior, and her eyes were bright and hopeful.

Xiao Ying seemed to have not seen her look of asking for help, and only looked at Xiao Li with a steady attitude: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

As he said that, he deliberately glanced at Meng Lianyi, who was still kneeling.

It was obviously an hinting that Xiao Li wanted to let the "idle people wait" retreat.

Seeing that Xiao Wang didn't pay much attention to Meng Lianyi, Xiao Li waved her hand very readily and let Meng Lianyi retreat.

Meng Lianyi, who had long wanted to leave the imperial study room, was about to be amnesty, and hurriedly got up and left, even forgot about the salute.

Xiao Li looked at Meng Lianyi's back with displeasure, but he was thinking about what Xiao Ying wanted to discuss with him, so he did not call anyone back and teach him a lesson.

He looked at Xiao Ying and said, "You are looking for me to pay tribute for the sake of the Dongyi Dynasty?"

The Dongyi Dynasty was a small country near the border of the Great Xia Dynasty. Although its territory was small, its national style was extremely fierce, advocating force, and eyeing Daxia.

Because of the restraint of the Daqing Dynasty next to it, the Daxia Dynasty was unable to free up his hands to destroy the Dongyi Dynasty.

Therefore, the Dongyi Dynasty often invaded when Daxia and Daqing were fighting, and took a bite on Daxia.

Xiao Li had been disliked by the Dongyi Dynasty for a long time. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to send Xiao Huang to lead his troops to attack Dongyi.

With Xiao Li's full support, Xiao Rong led the army to march straight into the royal city, and defeated the Dongyi Dynasty to cede land and pay compensation for reparations before retreating.

Dongyi, who was already small in size, has now become a small country and is one of the countless vassal states of the Daxia Dynasty.

Xiao Ying came to find Xiao Li just to pay tribute to the Dongyi Dynasty.

Every year, the Dongyi Dynasty would send a delegation to show its loyalty and present a large number of rare and rare goods.

But this year, Dong Yi is most likely to inherit the fourth prince of the throne...

Xiao Ying frowned slightly and said, "Dong Yi started to be ready in just two years. He should have destroyed it directly at the beginning."

Xiao Li shook her head and said, "Daqing has restrained too many of our troops... Let's wait and see, wait and see when the Dongyi delegation comes to the capital and see what they are doing."

Xiao Ying said: "We have recently put the spies from Dongyi and Daqing in the capital to closely monitor them. I always feel that the fourth prince came to pay tribute in person, and it seems..."

It seems that he doesn't say anything, Xiao Li is in Yemen.

A dignified prince of a country or a prince who may succeed to the throne is very likely to come to pay tribute. No matter how you look at it, there are any tricks.

However, Xiao Ying was not very worried. After all, this is the world of romance novels. The evil and crazy male protagonist is Xiao Li, so the Daxia Dynasty was destined to flourish under the halo of the male protagonist.
