Chapter 42: His Majesty the Emperor 17
Among Emperor Chongning's sons, the eldest prince fell ill and died early in life. Not long ago, the third prince died on the battlefield, and the fourth prince was born with a disability.As a result, among the remaining princes, only the second prince was left, and the fifth prince and Xiao Qi were worthy of the heavy responsibility.Later, when I was too young, talking about big things now seems childish.

The fifth prince also likes to be idle, and has no interest in the affairs of the court and China.Emperor Chongning's health deteriorated day by day, and up to now, Xiao Huan and Xiao Chi seem to have become two factions.

The prime minister, Yan Tai, has also made his attitude clear, standing on Xiao Chi's side.Emperor Chongning always hated forming cliques for personal gain, Xiao Chi and Xiao Huan only knew it.

However, Xiao Huan's qualifications were mediocre. Although Xiao Qi showed his talents, many ministers still held a neutral attitude after being in the court for a short time.Among them was Li Wen, a great scholar who was highly respected for his virtue and virtue, but still maintained a wait-and-see attitude in the court.

The counselor behind Xiao Huan had always wanted to win Li Wensheng to their side, so he gave Xiao Huan an idea.

In this era, wars and turmoil have only ended for a few decades, and it is the time when two great powers stand side by side and small countries stand in great numbers.Emperor Chongning's Fengguo and its neighbor Zhouguo are two great powers.The exchanges between the two countries are relatively close.A younger sister of Emperor Chongning, who married into a neighboring country in her early years, and now that the state of Zhou is gradually in a disadvantaged state in Dafeng, she granted the princess' request to return home to visit her relatives.

When the eldest princess returned to the country, Emperor Chongning ordered Daqing, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was even more lively than New Year's Eve.

Emperor Chongning held a banquet, and all the ministers and their families attended together.Now, Xiao Huan was given a wonderful opportunity.

Li Wensheng has a daughter, Li Shuxiao. Because her father is highly respected, Li Shuxiao is also known as a talented woman. She has always had a high self-esteem, and she feels that only Tianjia is worthy of her talent.

It was Li Shuxiao's ambition that Xiao Huan wanted to find a breakthrough from Li Shuxiao to win over Li Wensheng.

There was non-stop singing and dancing at the palace banquet, Nan Qing sat next to Nan Hou, watching with gusto.She has never seen the singing and dancing music in the real court, the enjoyment of the emperor, she is now open-eyed.Speaking of which, I have to thank those old grandpas!

Li Shuxiao looked at the singing and dancing in front of her, and then at the Princess Yao'an who had Nan Hou's blue eyes, she couldn't help but sneered: "It's so vulgar!"

Li Shuxiao's eyes were always high above the top, so naturally she didn't like these things, she picked up the teacup impatiently and took a sip of tea, but the more she drank it, the more dizzy she became.

The palace servant on the side exchanged a look with Xiao Huan, and then said to Li Shuxiao: "Miss Li, are you a little bored? Can my servant help you out to have some fresh air?"

Li Shuxiao was a little dizzy, and really couldn't stand the atmosphere of the palace banquet, so she nodded.

Nan Hou noticed the movement of Li Shuxiao getting up, turned to Nan Qing and said, "Qing'er, you are all girls, go and see what happened to the Li family girl."

Nan Qing responded and followed Li Shuxiao out of the hall.But seeing what Xiao Huan and Li Shuxiao were talking about, Nan Qing immediately hid quietly behind the flower bed.

Seeing Xiao Huan, Li Shuxiao's face softened a lot, and she lost that arrogant arrogance: "Second prince, are you coming out too?"

Xiao Huan enjoyed the feeling of being admired by a very famous and talented woman, and said with a smile: "When I saw Miss Li coming out, I felt uneasy, so I followed her out to have a look. I hope Huan is not rude to the beauty."

Nan Qing's teeth were sore from listening behind the flower bed, and she saw Li Shuxiao's eyebrows lowered, but the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed.Xiao Huan said again: "I don't know if the girl will give her face to go to the Ya Xuan in front to taste tea and discuss Taoism? Huan really can't stand this kind of singing and dancing."

When Li Shuxiao heard that Xiao Huan didn't like singing and dancing, she was naturally overjoyed, she nodded shyly, and followed Xiao Huan.
