After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Empress..." Some courtiers were still unwilling, "But the emperor is the king of a country. If he leaves, then the government will..."

"The government will be left to the Empress for the time being." Xiao Jinzhi walked over from behind a few people.

"This..." The courtiers looked at each other in confusion. After hearing this, their hearts were complicated. They forgot to salute for a moment. It was Liu Changhan who took the lead in saluting, and only then did they come back to their senses.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, after all..." The courtier spoke cautiously. He wanted to say that it was against the rules for the Queen to act as an agent in the government, but after thinking about everything before, he did not dare to speak for a while.

After hesitating, he could only turn his gaze to Liu Changhan, hoping that he would stop him.

Liu Changhan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, then at Chu Huanyan, and finally took a step back, cupped his hands again and said.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order, and Wei Chen will definitely assist the Queen."

Leave the imperial garden and go out of the palace on the palace road.

Several courtiers followed Liu Changhan, full of confusion.

"Prime Minister, we are obviously here to persuade the Queen to persuade the Emperor to give up this decision. Why did you just give up without a few words of advice in the end?"

Moreover, the Prime Minister actually directly expressed his position in front of the Emperor and the Empress that he would assist the Empress.

As soon as these words came out, they couldn't continue to persuade him just now, so they could only say goodbye and leave in a hurry.

"The Queen's attitude is already obvious. If we continue to persuade, it will only be a waste of words. As for the Queen's handling of government affairs on her behalf... Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if the emperor really drives the expedition in person, under special circumstances, by It is reasonable for the Queen to take charge of government affairs."

Previously, the emperor and the empress were not in the imperial city, so government affairs were left to the courtiers to discuss and handle. When encountering difficult decisions, they were sent to the emperor for approval in a hurry.

But now, the Empress still remains in the Imperial City, and the Emperor also announced the Princess's decree two days ago. Although many courtiers are reluctant to accept it, the Emperor has not taken back the decree. If it is true, Her Royal Highness Princess She is already a princess.

The empress was born as the mother of the crown prince, and as the master of the harem, it was not too outrageous to temporarily act as an agent for government affairs.

Several courtiers looked at Liu Changhan. Since the prime minister was fined a year's salary by the emperor last year, his attitude seemed to have become much calmer.

Although they don't know the reason for it, from last year to now, the Prime Minister has been supportive or silent about many of the emperor's decisions.

Even though the Prime Minister felt something was wrong with the previous decree of the Crown Princess, his opposition was not as strong as Feng Yushi's.

"Sir, I would like to ask you this, do you really think the Queen can handle government affairs well?"

Although the Empress has indeed done many things that no woman has ever done, she is still a woman after all. If the government affairs in the court are entrusted to her, I am afraid that she will end up in a mess.

"As courtiers, we do our best. Even if the Queen is in charge of the affairs of the court, there is no reason to leave everything to the Queen." Liu Changhan said calmly.

In his heart, he actually didn't believe that Chu Huanyan could make many decisions on government affairs, but since the superiors had given orders, they would only follow the instructions on how the government affairs should be handled. At worst, they would give more suggestions to the Queen after deliberation.

As the prime minister, Liu Changhan was the first to give up persuasion on this matter. Seeing this, other officials were still a little worried, but the momentum also weakened.

In addition, in the next few days, it was discovered that Xiao Jinzhi had really made his decision and could not be changed. Gradually, they stopped trying to persuade him.

The troops and horses have been mobilized and organized, and the time for departure has arrived.

The night before departure, Xiao Jinzhi carefully put the sleeping Xiao Yining back into the cradle, then leaned over and kissed her daughter's little face at home.

"Good girl, wait for daddy to come back."

Chu Huanyan stood aside and looked at the father and daughter.

Xiao Jinzhi walked to her side and when he took her hand, he found that Chu Huanyan's fingertips were extremely cold.

"Why is it so cold?"

"It's okay." Chu Huanyan shook her head.

"Yan Yan, don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound." Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan in his arms and spoke seriously and firmly.

"I believe you, Ning'er and I are waiting for you." Chu Huanyan's tone was a little dull.

Then, he pushed Xiao Jinzhi away, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and spoke again with a smile.

"You were the one who sent me to Jinzhou before, but I will be the one to send you away tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go to bed early, and you can send me off tomorrow."

Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan back to their dormitory, and Xian Yue happened to come to deliver ginseng soup.

After Chu Huanyan drank the ginseng soup, the two fell asleep quickly.

Chu Huanyan leaned in Xiao Jinzhi's arms, and soon fell asleep.

However, when she opened her eyes again, she found that it was already bright.

After being stunned for a moment, Chu Huanyan quickly stood up.

Xian Yue, who was guarding outside the hall, knocked lightly on the door when she heard the noise, and walked in after getting permission.

"Where is Xiao Jinzhi?" Chu Huanyan asked Xian Yue while quickly putting on her dress.

"Miss, don't worry, the emperor has left." Xian Yue handed the letter in her hand to Chu Huanyan, "This is what the emperor left for you."

Chu Huanyan took the letter and opened it eagerly.

"Yan Yan, last time I watched you go to Jinzhou at the gate of the imperial city. Although I knew you would turn back soon, I still felt reluctant to leave.

This farewell brings more worry and fear to my heart. I don’t want you to stop where you are and watch me go away bit by bit. I am even more afraid that I will be shaken by your gaze and have the thought of giving up again at this time.

Therefore, I ordered people to add sleeping herbs to your ginseng soup. When you wake up today, I have left. Please don't be surprised.

Although I have a thousand words to say goodbye, I would rather go back and say it myself when we meet again.

My wife Yan Yan, I will treasure her dearly and wait for my return. "

Seeing that her young lady's eyes had been fixed on the letter and had not moved away for a long time, Xian Yue stepped forward and persuaded softly.

"Miss, don't be sad. The emperor is reluctant to part with you, so he doesn't want you to send him off. And I believe that it won't be long before the emperor will be victorious and return safely. What you have to do now is to take good care of your body. , don’t be too sad, and there is a little princess who needs your care."

"I know." Chu Huanyan took a deep breath and slowly folded the letter in her hand, "I believe Xiao Jinzhi, he will definitely come back soon, and... he will definitely return safely, but..."

Chu Huanyan looked at the small cabinet in front of the dressing mirror.

It's just that Xiao Jinzhi walked too fast and didn't have time to give him the things!

Before Xiao Jinzhi left, he had already made arrangements for the government affairs in the court.

In the next few days, although the morning court was suspended, the courtiers performed their duties. If they encountered some matters that required decision-making, they would go to the palace to ask Chu Huanyan for instructions. Everything went smoothly.

At nightfall, Chu Huanyan had just coaxed Xiao Yining to sleep, and after letting someone carry her down, she received a message from Xian Yue, saying that it was Liu Zhaoran who asked to see him.
