On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

In the tenth year of Wanhe, the empress Xu Shihuan delegated power to her ministers. From then on, all major and minor affairs of the country were handled by ministers of various ministries, without the consent of the empress.

At the end of each year, the newly established Supervision Department evaluates the handling of political affairs by each department throughout the year. Those who excel in the examination will receive awards and are expected to be promoted in the coming year. Those with good evaluations will not be rewarded, and if there are no accidents, they will maintain their original official positions.

Those with poor evaluation scores will be punished and will be required to write a self-criticism in addition to the fine. If the evaluation is still poor next year, he will be demoted. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

"Mom, I want to farm, I don't want to study."

The child from the farmer's family refused, but was still dragged to school by his mother.

"Be good, be obedient, let the master see if you are good at studying first. Even if you are not suitable for studying, you can learn a few words and do some business in the future."

"You don't have to spend money to study here, and you can manage two meals a day. Just go and try it!"

Thanks to Xu Shihuan's hard work over the years, it doesn't cost a single tael to study and read in Wanhe Country. Families that originally did not intend to send their children to school are now taking the initiative to send their children to school.

Li Zetian is no exception.

She is eleven years old, has passed the examination as a scholar, and is quite talented in reading. If you wanted to get ahead more than ten years ago, you would have to find ways to enter the Hanlin Academy and try to leave a good impression on the emperor.

But now, Xu Shihuan has delegated power. If you want to become famous in the court, you can only rely on personal efforts. Therefore, when he heard that his daughter was aiming to enter the Ministry of Industry, Xu Shihuan did not pour cold water on her, but instead encouraged her:

"The Ministry of Industry is a good place to do practical things for the people. At a very small level, all the changes in Wanhe State, big and small, are all made by your hands. At a large level, the happiness of the people is entirely determined by you. .”

Li Zetian glanced at his mother and said impatiently:

"Come on, please stop fooling me here. I'm worried that you and my father can't be relied on, so I'm going to make a name for myself. Besides, I went to the Ministry of Industry because it has fewer people to deal with. , not that troublesome.”

In the past few years, Xu Shihuan and Wen Yidi lived an ordinary life in Hezhou. People who didn't know their identities thought they were just a couple with outstanding looks.

"What do you mean by being unreliable? That's because you didn't tell me and your father directly. If you did, you can see whether we can be trusted or not."

Xu Shihuan said with an unconvinced look, if she had known that the military power was still in her hands, why would she and Wen Yidi not be able to count on her daughter?

"Forget it, no need! I'm going to study. You and my dad can have fun."

Li Zetian walked away while talking, and disappeared after a while. Xu Shihuan was left there with a look of helplessness on his face. Seeing her frozen in place, Wen Yidi walked over quickly and asked:

"What are you doing here? My daughter has already gone back to the study to study."

Seeing Xu Shihuan sigh softly, Wen Yidi instantly guessed what she was worried about and quickly advised:

"Could you be acting like this because your daughter said that we are unreliable? Let me tell you, it's all those big bosses in the military camp. If you have nothing to do, just tell Zetian that she is supposed to be the empress's destiny. Who knows that we can't think about it? , the throne was not passed on to her, which is why she still has to study hard now."

"If it were any other child, he would have complained a long time ago. Zetian is complaining to us now, but he is still studying hard in private. Don't take it to heart."

Hearing what Wen Yidi said, Xu Shihuan felt a little better, but he still said stubbornly:

"What do I take to heart? I don't owe her anything. If it weren't for those people's mouths, I wouldn't have planned to give birth to her! She actually dislikes me."

But having said that, Xu Shihuan's eyes couldn't stop running towards the study. After struggling for a moment, she quickly walked outside the study and asked:

"If you encounter any difficulties in studying, you can come and ask me. Your mother was the first prize in the first place! If I hadn't seen how good I look, I might as well have been awarded the top prize!"

Quiet, embarrassingly quiet. Seeing that his daughter did not respond to his intention, Xu Shihuan stretched out, pretended as if nothing had happened, and walked towards Wen Yidi.

"Let's go! Come with me for a walk! Children and grandchildren here have their own blessings. As elders, there is no need for us to mess around."

Hearing what Xu Shihuan said, Wen Yidi secretly wondered if it was too early for them to say this. But he didn't dare to make Xu Shihuan unhappy, so he could only follow Xu Shihuan and go for a walk together.

Today's Hezhou City is a prosperous scene. The vendors shouting along the street and the shops lined up around it look somewhat similar to Yongan City.

The two of them walked to a small wonton stall, sat in a familiar position, and said in unison:

"Boss! Here are two bowls of wontons."

The chubby boss quickly cooked two bowls of wontons and brought them to the two of them. He took the initiative to find a place to sit down and said politely:

"You two haven't been here for a while. Auntie, I miss you very much. Why didn't you see your daughter here today?"

Xu Shihuan took a sip of wonton soup and then spoke slowly:

"The child is getting older, and we are having trouble with each other. She is not happy with these wontons."

The aunt smiled and said casually:

"Children have to go through this stage, and we parents should be more understanding. I would say, you two might as well take this opportunity to live a peaceful life as two people, and come to my stall more often. .”

Wen Yidi listened to Xu Shihuan talking to his aunt at the stall, but smiled occasionally and didn't interrupt much. He has a quiet temperament by nature, and as an imperial businessman, he had no choice but to speak auspicious words to everyone he met.

Now that he no longer had such worries, he finally no longer had to force himself to speak, but quietly stayed by Xu Shihuan's side.

After eating a bowl of wontons, Xu Shihuan felt his whole body tremble and warm. She held Wen Yidi's hand, smiled with the wonton seller, then stood up and left.

The two of them were walking aimlessly on the street, inexplicably thinking of what happened before, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I can't help but live these days. In the blink of an eye, we are both in our thirties."

"Yes, in a few years, Zetian will be as old as we were back then."

"However, it seems that my mother and I are becoming more and more similar in personality. When I am with Zetian, I always find her unpleasant here and there. Then, I can't help but want to nag her. "

"Tell me, when a person reaches a certain age, his personality will become what his parents were like before. And Zetian is just like me back then, how dissatisfied with his mother is he?"
