After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

The next day, when Nangong Yuan got up, he hadn't left yet.

"woke up?"

She nodded, blinked and snuggled into his arms.

Xiao Heyun felt warm in his heart and a little happy: "Are you going to court today?"

"Of course I have to go. I have some serious work to do this time. I can't just lie at home."

She rubbed Xiao Heyun's chest for a while before getting up reluctantly.

The servants waiting outside the door brought in water. After Nangong Yuan finished washing up, she found that Xiao Heyun had left without her knowing.

“This guy…”

He must be hiding because he was worried that this would cause people to gossip about Nangong Yuan. Otherwise, as a prince, would he have to climb over walls and windows all day long?

"Well, forget it, let's get down to business first."

She took out her court dress and put it on, then went out to attend court after she had packed up.

·······

"Ding Anbo."

Nangong Yuan turned around and saw the man waiting not far away with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness the Night King."

The two men pretended to greet each other and talked for a while.

"Let's go, the court meeting is about to begin."

The young eunuch behind him was pushing a wheelchair. Nangong Yuan saw that it was a bit inconvenient to go up the stairs, so she took it herself.

"When are you going to stand up?"

Xiao Heyun said: "It depends on the situation. I am still looking for an important person. I should have a chance then."

Although pretending to be lame is indeed a solution, it is indeed inconvenient to move around in daily life.

It would be fine if he was really lame, but it is indeed not comfortable for a good person to do this.

"Well, this isn't going to work."

Nangong Yuan pushed him up, and the eunuch next to him took it.

After entering the hall, Nangong Yuan naturally stood in the row of military generals.

Now that she was a count, she stood in front of several old generals.

"Ding Anbo."

"I heard you were back, and I was wondering why I didn't see you."

Nangong Yuan said: "I had some things to deal with at home, so I took a leave yesterday."

Her status has risen now, and even if someone dislikes her, they dare not offend her easily.

Besides, Nangong Yuan holds real power, so these ministers naturally want to have a good relationship with her.

Soon, the emperor arrived.

"Go to court."

"See your majesty, long live your majesty!"

"Everyone is safe."

The group stood up.

"If there is a starting point, I will withdraw from the court if nothing happens!"

Soon, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"speak."

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, a sudden flood hit Jiangnan, damaging the dikes. Now all parts of Jiangnan are suffering from the disaster, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

The emperor looked unhappy: "Jiangnan is an important grain-producing area. Why is it that the disaster was reported only today?"

"It rained heavily a few days ago, and the messenger was trapped, so he didn't have time to report it."

The emperor sighed and said, "The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War should send people to allocate 1,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, repair the dikes and resume production as soon as possible."

The first half was almost all about people's livelihood.

Now that summer has arrived, there are droughts or floods in various places, and the country is not very peaceful.

But the national treasury is now empty and there is no money left for disaster relief.

Nangong Yuan looked at it and felt worried.

She was totally not good at making money, and looking at the pitifully empty treasury, she could only sigh helplessly.

In the court, Gu Zian was still a popular figure and had never been neglected because of Prince Li.

Now it seems that he is indeed very capable, otherwise he would not be in this position at such a young age.

Nangong Yuan looked at the people present, thought about it from time to time, and felt a little sleepy, so she couldn't help yawning.

Xiao Heyun sat in the row of royal relatives. He sat up straight and glanced over here from time to time.

The next moment, he pointed to his cheek.

Nangong Yuan subconsciously touched her face and found nothing wrong, so she curled her lips and smiled.

"what?"

She shook her head helplessly and realized that Xiao Heyun was teasing her.

So she glared at the other person, but when she turned her head away, she saw King Li.

The man thought Nangong Yuan was glaring at him and his expression looked unhappy.

But Nangong Yuan didn't care. Anyway, at this moment, King Li was her enemy, so there was no need to be nice to him.

·······

"Your Majesty, Xisha's commander is still in Laoli, and the other side wants to replace him."

Speaking of this, Nangong Yuan finally perked up.

"If they want to talk, they should be honest. If they don't accept the demands, what's there to talk about?"

"Xisha is not peaceful at the moment. They are asking for too much, and that prince can't deliver on his promises."

Then everyone started discussing it.

Everyone has his or her own opinion on this issue.

"Your Majesty, we still have to negotiate, but they will not accept the conditions we offered yesterday. We have to lower them."

Naturally, the emperor's attitude towards this was not so good.

He originally wanted to give Xisha a taste of his own medicine, and now he has compromised, which is too embarrassing.

"Xisha's commander slaughtered countless of my people. If it weren't for the negotiations, I would have killed him long ago. How could he still be alive today? Keep him locked up until the negotiations are over."

Some people also ridiculed it.

"Master Liu is so concerned about Xisha, could it be that he has been bribed?"

"What bullshit are you talking about? I'm just speaking the truth."

Soon, they started arguing.

Nangong Yuan discovered that there was also a war of words in the court meeting, and the insults they put on people were even more outrageous than theirs.

So she sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

The two sides cursed for a long time, and the emperor became impatient and shouted, "Enough!"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Although they said that it was His Majesty who calmed down, they seemed dissatisfied.

The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to them.

"Dingan, tell me."

Nangong Yuan took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think the longer the negotiation time, the better."

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at her intently.

The court dress Nangong Yuan was wearing was specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It fit her perfectly and was a women's style. She wore a golden crown on her head, but it was not complicated.

"Now that we have repeatedly put pressure on the Xisha border, the negotiations in Kyoto are not going smoothly, and the Xisha royal family will naturally have opinions. At that time, they will be more likely to accept the conditions proposed in the negotiations. Moreover, the Xisha have been so arrogant for so many years, and we can take this opportunity to put a damper on their arrogance."

"You have a point."

Nangong Yuan knew that it would be difficult to fight another war with an empty treasury.

So at this moment there seems to be no other way except to negotiate peace.

But fortunately, they take the initiative, so the upper limit of their operations is greatly increased.

She also has a little selfish thought: the other side will lose their patience only when people from the Xisha Islands are present.

"The Xisha Islands are arrogant. Now we are unable to fight them again. We must make them feel scared and feel pain so that they will not invade again and again."

Nangong Yuan said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly what I mean."
