Chapter 92

"Yes!" Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou beamed with joy and said: "I understand what you want to say; serving a monarch is a great learning experience. Merely possessing beauty and talent is far from enough; one must also have a gentle personality."

Li Li Xueyan listened carefully, nodding from time to time, and earnestly keeping every word Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou said in her heart...

The night was deep.

Qin Mu was still in the Lizheng Hall handling government affairs.

"Creak?"

The door opened.

A graceful figure slowly walked in from outside.

"What is it?"

Qin Mu did not look up.

He thought it was Wei Wei Zhongxian or Lodonzan coming to request an audience.

This was a rule Qin Mu had set for himself.

At any time, ministers could enter and leave Budalagong at will.

"It's cold, I've come to add a garment for you."

Li Li Xueyan walked towards Qin Mu somewhat shyly and draped the garment in her hand over him.

"430" "Hmm?"

Hearing that it was Li Li Xueyan's voice, Qin Mu looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Should I not come? You are my husband, and I am your Princess; if I don't come here to find you, where else would you have me go?"

Li Li Xueyan gave Qin Mu a coquettish look, her tone extremely soft.

Hiss!

What is wrong with that woman today?

Why is she a bit different from usual?

Never mind!

Qin Mu put down the memorial in his hand and beckoned to Li Li Xueyan.

The next morning.

Sunlight filled the earth.

Li Li Xueyan slowly opened her eyes and found that the space beside her was empty, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

Li Li Xueyan hurried to look for the sound and found Qin Mu sitting at the round table.

On the table were two bowls of white porridge and some side dishes.

"Did you prepare this?"

Li Li Xueyan looked at the somewhat simple breakfast, but felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.

"Of course, sit down and eat together."

Qin Mu nodded calmly.

"Thank you... husband."

Li Li Xueyan bit her red lips, her face flushed.

"Good girl!"

Qin Mu gently pinched Li Li Xueyan's cheek and revealed a smile.

As bright as the sun!

Li Li Xueyan was somewhat stunned.

He looks so good when he smiles!

"What are you daydreaming about? Eat your meal!"

Seeing Li Li Xueyan in a daze, Qin Mu couldn't help but tease her.

"You!"

"Hmph!"

Li Li Xueyan pouted, hummed Wu Li Ke a little woman, and then obediently had breakfast with Qin Mu.

Bursts of silver-bell-Wu Li Ke laughter kept coming from the bedchamber...

After breakfast, Qin Mu went to handle government affairs as usual.

Li Li Xueyan sat alone in front of the dressing table, combing her black hair while reminiscing about the sweetness with Qin Mu.

Is this the happiness between husband and wife?

Just then.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou brought Princess Changle in.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Princess Changle walked up to Li Li Xueyan and found her giggling at the mirror, so she asked suddenly.

"Ah!"

Li Li Xueyan was startled, and the comb in her hand fell to the floor.

"Mother, sister, when did you come in?"

She looked up and saw Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle standing beside her.

"We just arrived; I don't know what you were thinking about, you didn't even notice us standing next to you."

Princess Changle blinked her black eyes, her gaze full of curiosity.

Sister Li Xueyan is a martial artist; she is usually extremely sensitive to the slightest movement, what happened today?

"Li Xueyan, are you...?"

The meticulous Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou noticed Li Li Xueyan's abnormality and asked with pleasant surprise.

Li Li Xueyan didn't speak, just nodded shyly.

"Li Xueyan, that's wonderful!"

Getting the affirmative answer, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou excitedly took Li Li Xueyan's hand, overjoyed.

"Mother, Sister Li Xueyan, what are you two talking about?"

Princess Changle, standing to the side Wu Li Ke a cute little kitten, had no idea what was going on.

"Go, go, go!"

"What would a child Wu Li Ke you know about this?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou waved her hand dismissively, treating Princess Changle completely Wu Li Ke a child.

"Hmph!"

"I've already grown up, I'm not a child anymore!"

Princess Changle pouted stubbornly, saying very unconvinced.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

In the bedchamber, bursts of laughter kept coming.

Three days later.

Budalagong.

Envoys from various countries began to enter the palace one after another.

"Mother, who are they?"

On a high platform on one side of Budalagong, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was taking a walk with Li Li Xueyan and Princess Changle, and when she saw the envoys from various countries filing in through the main gate, Princess Changle suddenly became interested.

"Looking at their attire, they don't seem Wu Li Ke locals; they seem to be envoys from other countries, right?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou guessed.

"Could it be the envoys from the thirty-six Western Regions countries?"

Li Li Xueyan frowned.

She had heard Qin Mu mention it a few times before, but didn't pay much attention.

Li Li Xueyan's status is that of a Princess, and what she should be doing is managing the harem and taking care of Qin Mu.

She had never had any interest in other matters.

"It seems it should be."

"Qin Mu conquered Tuyuhun this time, defeated 300,000 Turkic cavalry, and captured Khan Jieli and Fuyun alive; he has long since become world-famous."

"It's normal for these neighboring countries to come to offer congratulations."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's expression was somewhat heavy.

It seems I must hurry up with what I need to do!

Great Qin is growing stronger day by day, and its relationship with the Great Tang is becoming more tense day by day.

I must think of a way to ease the relationship between the two sides.

"Li Xueyan, Mother wants to ask you for a favor."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Li Xueyan solemnly.

"Mother, if there is anything you need, just tell me; Li Xueyan will do anything to fulfill it."

Li Li Xueyan also became serious.

"I want you to help me ask Qin Mu what exactly happened between him and my brother at the Duke of Zhao's mansion that night."

"His Majesty once told me that he considered the aristocratic families and did not want Qin Mu to enter the court too early, otherwise he would become a target for everyone, which would be counterproductive."

"His Majesty hoped that Qin Mu would understand his good intentions and let my brother persuade him to give up that top graduate position, promising to repay him doubly in the future. He even... even decided to make him an Imperial Son-in-Law first, so he could enter the court as a royal relative."

"Qin Mu is not an ordinary youth; he must have understood the pros and cons. But he ultimately decided to rebel against the Great Tang and believed that it was my brother and His Majesty who forced him into a dead end."

"I always feel there must be something fishy about this."

"Li Xueyan, this matter is of great importance; it might be the key to resolving the rift between Great Qin and the Great Tang. To prevent the people of both countries from suffering, Mother begs you."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou requested solemnly once again.

"Wait a minute!"

"Mother, what are you saying?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's words made Li Li Xueyan's head buzz.
