Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

Hua Xia sighed faintly. Forget it. Could she still beat him to death? Gnashing her teeth...

The news spread from the main hall, and all parties were confused about His Majesty's thoughts. Gao Huang asked for a meeting, but Hua Xia was so glared at by Xiao Lie that she was too lazy to deal with others and simply sent the man away.

After the dancers were taken back, Yuan Jian, who had taken over all the affairs of the emperor's attendants, reminded them, "Your Majesty, there are still two batches of beautiful attendants sent to the Marquis' Mansion. Should we take them back?"

It must be said that this man is smart. As long as she took back a dancer's action, he dared to directly guess the emperor's thoughts. Not only that, he dared to bring it up. Hua Xia glanced at the little eunuch and smiled: "You have a good future."

Yuan Jian bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty promoted me, and I will always be your dog."

Hua Xia: “…”

Instead of being a good person, you become a dog...

Hua Xia said slowly: "Be a good person..."

Yuan Jian's eyes flickered, but his back bent even deeper: "I will withdraw."

After Yuan Jian led the people, he went to the old mansion to collect all the beauties. After they left, the old housekeeper of the mansion returned to the study and reported: "My Lord, what kind of drama is His Majesty acting in?"

Xiao Lie stood with his back to the old butler, wiping the spear on the weapon rack with a cold look on his face. Hearing this, his movements paused for a moment, imperceptibly.

It seemed that since the Gelsemium elegans was replaced with peach blossom wine at the banquet, His Majesty seemed to have become a different person.

Not only did he not mention the matter of taking back the military command, he also conferred a throne on him, granted him fiefdom, and rewarded him with gold and silver, implying that he was going to allow him to grow in power.

"Check Gao Huang." Xiao Lie's eyes were sharp and cold. The only explanation now was that Li Zhao had become estranged from her favored official and wanted to use him to get rid of Gao Huang. Did she think he was still the ignorant member of the Xiao family as before?

Xiao Lie put his spear back into place, turned around and sat down at the desk, his sharp eyebrows slightly frowned. The only thing that didn't make sense was Li Zhao's action of taking back those beauties.

The old butler and the guard beside him looked at each other, and the guard Zhao Zhuo said tentatively: "My Lord, your Majesty's actions seem to be..."

Xiao Lie raised his eyes coldly. Zhao Zhuo's face was full of hesitation. He spoke slowly: "It seems more like... jealousy?"

"I accompanied the Marquis to the Qin Tower to investigate something. After I came back, my wife smelled the scent of powder on me and chased me out. The next day, she wanted to go to the Qin Tower to make trouble again. It was difficult to stop her. It does look a bit like..."

Although your majesty is the emperor, you are only a woman in your twenties. It is rumored that you have an affair with the treacherous minister Gao Huang, but he is a eunuch after all...

The Marquis is famous for his war godship and handsome appearance, and many women are attracted to him. Perhaps it was because they met again after a few years that His Majesty took a liking to the Marquis at the banquet, so he replaced the poisoned wine. In this way, the peach blossom wine seems to have another hint.

Makes sense, makes sense...

"My Lord..." Zhao Zhuo looked up, but before he could say anything, he met his Lord's murderous gaze and swallowed his words back, "It's okay, it's okay."

The old butler reminded: "No matter what, we have to call you Prince now."

The imperial edict has been issued and everyone in the world knows it.

"Your Majesty..."

"You guys go out."

Xiao Lie was left alone in the room, with the cold light in his eyes revealed, as if to freeze the air.

No matter what Li Zhao's intention was, he would not let her go.

In the palace, the night was long. His Majesty did not sleep and dragged the palace maids to play cards in the bedroom. After Yuan Jian deliberately fed the cards a few times, Hua Xia beat him up: "Do you think that if you don't let me lose?"

Yuan Jian is used to figuring out his master's intentions. He used to hide his edge, but now that he has approached His Majesty, he must soar to the sky. He didn't expect that he had made the wrong offer. A visible swelling appeared on his forehead. His disguise was difficult to maintain for a while. He was stunned for a while, and finally broke down. He was a little unbelievable: "Your Majesty?"

Hua Xia: "Do you want to play?"

The other attendant learned his lesson and dared not give in. He whispered, "Eunuch Yuan..."

Yuan Jian regained consciousness and put on all his energy, but in the end he was defeated miserably. Hua Xia sneered and said domineeringly: "Why do I need you to give in?"

250: [......] Without the Internet, the host starts to make trouble for the palace people again.

Night owls have no desire to sleep at night. The salary they lost was deducted until the end of the year. Yuan Jian couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty...you have to attend the court early tomorrow."

Hua Xia waved her hands without feeling guilty: "I can get up."

Yuan Jian did not dare to disobey. He paused for a moment and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, can we play Go instead?"

Go?

Hua Xia saw the light in Yuan Jian's eyes. It was obvious that he was good at it and was confident. She smiled and said, "Okay."

This time, Yuan Jian did not remind Hua Xia that she had to attend court early the next day. He held the white jade chess piece in his hand and stared at the situation on the chessboard, as if he was fascinated and trying hard to find a way to break the game. Meanwhile, the empress called two other palace servants to open a new hand and play on both ends.

After a few long minutes, Yuan Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, accidentally touching the swollen bump. He hissed, sobered up a little, placed another move, and raised his head slightly: "Your Majesty, it's your turn..."

Before he could finish his words, the empress turned her head, picked up a chess piece and placed it at a random position, then picked up a few of his chess pieces and turned to the other side of the card game.

Yuan Jian couldn't help wiping his sweat, and moved the chess piece left and right above the chessboard, not knowing where it would land. Finally, he put his hand down and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I lose."

On that side, both of them were defeated at the same time.

Hua Xia picked up the brush on the ground, dipped it in the ink from the inkstone, and wrote down the accounts on the rice paper. The handwriting was crooked, but it was clear. Yuan Jian found that he already owed next year's salary.

"......" Yuan Jian said helplessly, "Your Majesty, if you do this... I will go to the palace gate and beat the drum to complain."

Hua Xia: “…”

Hua Xia naturally couldn't accept the salaries of a few eunuchs; it was just for fun. Otherwise, if she continued like this, within a month, those who owed her money would be able to rebel together inside and outside the imperial city without Xiao Lie's army or Gao Huang's careful calculations and planning.

In order to prevent the emperor from not attending court the next day, Hua Xia played all night with dark circles under her eyes. When the sun rose, the maid who came to serve him was shocked, thinking that the emperor's energy had been sucked away by a monster.

He was not very sleepy at first, but listening to the ministers' chattering was more soothing than a lullaby. Gao Huang had requested for an audience many times but was turned away. This time he appeared in the morning court team. As a eunuch, he held a high position and was criticized by the ministers. After several of them died for no reason, no one dared to say anything.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue has retired and returned home ten days ago. There are many things to do. Your Majesty, please make a decision on the new Minister as soon as possible. I have submitted a letter of recommendation. Has Your Majesty reviewed it?"

Hua Xia had seen in a batch of memorials submitted that many of the candidates put forward were Gao Huang's people. Most of the ministers in the court were almost replaced by the male protagonist's people. If this continued, her position would need to be replaced.

The person who was talking was indeed Gao Huang's man. Hua Xia glanced at him indifferently, but this person had no tact at all and continued to chatter, giving her a headache.

She reached out and pinched her eyebrows, looking impatient.
