Quick Wear: Whose cannon fodder is the most popular?

For some unknown reason, the emperor did not force Li Huating to surrender his military power.

The two brothers seemed to have reached a consensus.

Perhaps Li Xinian was finally willing to believe that his younger brother really had no intention of seeking power and usurping the throne.

In short, Chi Yan lived a very peaceful life in the palace.

It was not until Guard Lin came back to report that Chi Shuangshuang intended to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.

Chi Yan:......

"Why are we suddenly talking about this? Has Chi Shuangshuang met the emperor?"

Guard Lin was also speechless: "No, she was instigated by her mother and intended to enter the palace to help Chi Sheng get promoted."

Chi Yan: "What are their plans?"

"They heard that His Majesty would be leaving the palace soon, so they planned to create an encounter..."

It seems that Chi Shuangshuang and her daughter had already made a plan, but with Chi Shuangshuang's personality, it's unclear whether she could get anything good by entering the palace.

Concubine Rong is not someone you can easily mess with. She is much more beautiful than Chi Shuangshuang, and has been trained in the palace for many years.

With her around, it would be difficult for Chi Shuangshuang to make a name for herself in the palace.

Chi Yan: "Don't worry about her, let them do whatever they want, as long as they can endanger the Chi Mansion and our palace."

Guard Lin retreated in response.

It's time to go to the palace to meet Concubine Rong. In name, they are sisters-in-law!

That day, Chi Yan entered the palace carrying the token. When Li Xinian heard the news, he accidentally knocked over the teacup beside him.

"Who did you say entered the palace?"

Guard: "Your Majesty, it's the Regent Princess..."

Li Xinian: "...I understand, you can go down now."

Intellectually, Li Xinian knew that Chi Yan must have important business in entering the palace, but emotionally, he hoped very much that Chi Yan came to respond to him.

No matter what, as long as I can see Chi Yan, it will be a happy thing.

But he sat there waiting for a long time, but still no one came.

"Someone, why hasn't Chi Yan arrived yet? Go and see what's going on."

The eunuch took the order and left.

At the same time, Concubine Rong was looking at Chi Yan as if she had seen a ghost.

"You! You are!! Chi Yan!!!" Concubine Rong was so shocked that she couldn't even speak clearly.

Chi Yan couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, why are you so surprised?"

Concubine Rong sat down on the soft chair, her face pale and blue.

"So the family you were talking about is Li Huating. I didn't realize you like him so much."

Concubine Rong was sarcastic and very dissatisfied with Chi Yan for not telling her the truth at the beginning.

Chi Yan smiled bitterly: "I came here to confess my crime today, look at this..."

Chi Yan took out two storybooks from his arms. They were the "A Chinese Ghost Story" that he had told Li Huating before. Li Huating liked it so much that he insisted on having someone write it down and polish it.

There are two sets in total, one of which Li Huating keeps for himself.

In another episode, Chi Yan offers his services to add some fun to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was disdainful at first, and said with disdain: "There are many books like this in my palace. What's so strange about this? You are so insincere in your apology."

"Don't worry, take a look first."

Concubine Rong reluctantly said, "Okay... I'll trust you this time. Since you're kind-hearted, I won't bother with you about deceiving me."

Chi Yan smiled faintly: "Thank you very much..."

The two of them bickered for a while, and as soon as Concubine Rong mentioned Chi Shuangshuang, Chi Yan laughed.

"She's been making a lot of noise lately, and I just want to know what your attitude is. If I touch her, will you be angry?"

After all, that woman is Chi Yan's sister. Chi Yan gave Chi Sheng a chance. I don't know if he still wants to maintain this family relationship.

Concubine Rong was unsure of Chi Yan's thoughts.

So I took the opportunity to ask a few questions.

Chi Yan also came for this matter.

He would not do anything to Chi Shuangshuang, but Chi Shuangshuang also took advantage of him. She was willing to enter the palace, so he should be prepared for palace fighting.

"Of course I'm not angry, that's between you two."

Concubine Rong was satisfied. "That's pretty good. I almost thought you were a living Bodhisattva. People hurt you, but you repay evil with kindness."

"How could it be..." Chi Yan said, "My mother is kind-hearted and willing to give them a chance, but now that the chance has been given and the grudges have been settled, it all depends on their own luck."

Concubine Rong: "Just your words will do."

She knew that the emperor truly loved Chi Yan, and she also knew that Chi Yan had no interest in the emperor.

Concubine Rong doesn’t care who the emperor likes, but if someone threatens her position.

That is courting death.

Chi Shuangshuang cannot enter the palace. She is Chi Yan's sister and a blood relative of Chi Yan. It is hard to guarantee that the emperor cannot get Chi Yan, so he is a psychopath and uses Chi Shuangshuang as a substitute.

Concubine Rong was determined to take precautions before any disaster occurs.

The two of them talked it out, and just as Chi Yan was about to leave, he ran into the eunuch beside the emperor.

"The Emperor invites you to come over..."

Chi Yan:......

Concubine Rong: Tsk!

In the end, Chi Yan followed the eunuch.

Chi Yan saw Li Xinian again, and the two of them were speechless. Chi Yan didn't know what to say, while Li Xinian had a lot to say but didn't know what to say first.

"You seem to have lost some weight."

Chi Yan: "It's okay. I've been losing weight recently."

Li Xinian sighed: "You have been chatting with Rong'er for so long, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Chi Yan glanced at him, then lowered his head again.

"Forget it... I don't have anything to do, just catching up."

Chi Yan: "Nothing else, I'm leaving the palace, the prince is still waiting for me in the mansion."

"Well, go ahead. Remember to come and see me next time you come to the palace. Give me a portion of what you gave to Rong'er."

"...good."

Li Xinian did not make things difficult for him.

He did not force Li Huating to surrender his military power, partly because he believed that Li Huating had no intention of treason.

Another reason is that he knows himself, once Chi Yan becomes someone within his reach.

He will definitely take action.

Even if it was against the will of the world, he would still keep Chi Yan by his side.

He didn't want to hurt Chi Yan.

Li Huating can only protect him.

Chi Yan turned and left the palace, unwilling to stay in Li Xinian's sight for another second.

Later I heard that Chi Shuangshuang slipped and fell into the water and was almost choked to death on the day she met the emperor. She has been bedridden ever since.

Chi Sheng investigated and discovered the conspiracy between his mother and sister, and immediately became furious with his mother.

He now just wants to live a stable life and serve his country.

But his mother was never satisfied and caused his sister to offend Concubine Rong.

This time he no longer tolerated it and found two maids to serve his mother, both to take care of her and to monitor her.

Don't let her do anything weird again.

The matter was finally settled.

Chi Yan and Li Huating loved each other till old age and got along very well. One of them would quarrel from time to time, but Chi Yan was very patient with him and was willing to coax him.

Tell him a few stories from time to time to cheer him up.

It was not until His Majesty passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne that Li Huating gave up his military power and found a mountain villa with Chi Yan to live out his retirement.

When he died, the sky was filled with sunset glow, illuminating the entire villa red, and Chi Yan made an appointment with him for the next life.

Only then did Li Huating close his eyes with peace of mind.
