I run a newspaper in ancient times

The Empress Dowager listened to Empress Shen who seemed to be quite sincerely pleading guilty, and finally showed a little smile on her faint expression. She took Empress Shen's hand and said with relief: "The Ai family thought that this matter would have to be passed on for a few days, and when the emperor is furious Only then can the harem be restrained."

Empress Shen's face froze when she heard this, and she quickly explained: "Don't blame the mother, it's because the concubine has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and that's why she has neglected the control of the harem. The concubine knows it's wrong."

"So are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, it's all right now." Empress Shen replied, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

"Hey, it's not easy to sit in the queen's position. You have worked hard, but few people remember it. It looks noble, but it's a worry about your life. The emperor entrusted you to take care of the harem. This is trust in you. You have always done a good job. , Don't become tied up just because your previous negligence turned into a mistake, otherwise Aijia will have to worry about you."

The Empress Dowager's eyes are as loving as before, but after the incident with Concubine Zhuang, Empress Shen can no longer treat her with a normal heart.

There is always a fear in it.

"Mother, don't worry, the concubine already knows what to do."

"That's good." The queen mother patted her hand and let go.

At this time, Concubine Zhou was also at the side, and the Queen Mother praised: "The concubine has done a good job this time, and she should be punished severely. The emperor and Prince Yi have always been brothers and sisters. If others are allowed to talk nonsense, the world will not be happy." It's safe."

Concubine Zhou bowed her body, and said with guilt in her eyes: "Don't dare to be the mother's praise, it is really Concubine Min who is ignorant and didn't restrain the palace people well, which caused trouble. As a sister, the concubine is negligent in discipline, and she should Punishment. It's just that she is young and shallow-minded, and a little bit of dissatisfaction will make people grab the ground and exaggerate the facts. It is not intentional, and I ask the mother to take it lightly."

Concubine Min beside her had been kneeling on the ground for an hour, she was already crying, and kowtowed to the queen mother to apologize.

What is the truth, no one has gone into it, the queen mother glanced at her and said: "The queen has the final say on matters in the harem."

The turmoil in the harem seemed to be over now, and Li Li was sitting in the main hall, looking at his brother with those beautiful round eyes.

Been watching it for half an hour.

Emperor Yan felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and finally couldn't bear to call out: "A Li, don't look at it, what else do you want, tell me, the voice of the great sage, if you like it, I will also give it to you .”

Li Li tilted his head, and finally fixed his eyes on the rows of rewards on the side, all of which were rare and good things in the palace.

"So much...Brother, how guilty are you for me?"

When he said the central matter, Emperor Yan blushed, cleared his throat, and argued: "It's nothing, I just think you will like these things, and I haven't rewarded them for a long time."

Li Li looked at him suspiciously: "Then even the voice of the great sage was given to me... Tsk, brother, will you be so worried that you won't be able to sleep at night? What if I break the knock one day?"

"Can't you keep it well and don't knock it?" Emperor Yan couldn't help but said.

Li Li raised his eyebrows: "If you like it, I don't necessarily like it. You know my temperament, it's only a day's heat. My family's General Fan's birthday is over, why should I keep it, and collect dust? Still looking for someone Take special care of it, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

When Emperor Yan heard this, he waved his hand and said to Zhang Banban: "Go, put the piano back."

He wished Li Li would say no, God knows how distressed he is.

After Zhang Banban carefully carried Qin away, Li Li looked at Emperor Yan and asked, "Is it very cruel, knowing that someone did it deliberately, or thinking more slowly?"

He didn't shake the fan right now, but rested his elbows on the table, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Emperor Yan, looking quite solemn, and his words were also somewhat dignified.

Emperor Yan wanted to shake his head, but under his brother's almost penetrating gaze, he finally nodded lightly, showing guilt: "A Li..."

Li Li laughed: "Brother, is it tiring to be an emperor? You have to go to court early, open the harem, handle government affairs, balance the court, and a series of messy things, all of which are under your control. I get tired just looking at it." .”

Tired, naturally tired.

Although Emperor Yan is mediocre, he is not stupid. He also wants to be a good emperor, but under the shackles of courtiers, it is even more difficult to sit still and do well.

When Li Li said this, he said with emotion: "Sit in this position and become the lord of the world. Naturally, you have to take responsibility. Can you still go fishing for three days and spend two days drying the net? I haven't known laziness for a long time. What does it feel like."

He was seven years younger than Li Li, less than [-] years old, but his hair was already graying, his eyes were often gloomy, it was normal to not be able to sleep at night, and he was not in good spirits.

Standing with Li Li, who is well maintained, goes to bed early and wakes up early to beautify his face, and looks like a green onion, both father and son are justified.

"Yeah, it's very miserable if you can't get up and down." Li Li looked at him sympathetically.

Emperor Yan laughed: "But you are the only one who thinks this way. Prime Minister Zuo, Marquis Wu Ning, and many others wish they could not have the name of emperor, but also have the reality of emperor. Just give them a chance Lord, you won't even hesitate...Ari."

"Ok?"

"You... Do you really want to be with Fan Zhiyuan? Wait until Qinghe Haiyan and the Quartet calm down..."

"We are still together." Li Li replied without hesitation, "My general is pretty good, I was a little taken aback, but we are together, so I don't have to worry about his extravagant thoughts. A good man should be with a good man. Together, we can solve the internal and external troubles of the imperial brother in one fell swoop, how much."

"I don't mean that." Emperor Yan shook his head and said, "Ayu said that making you happy is what we should do as brothers and sisters, and you don't need to pay such a price for it."

"But I think the price is worth it." Li Li said, his eyes were sincere and realistic, "Rather than become a thorn between our brothers, I would rather pull it out. When the mother is in the cold palace, she always talks about the emperor's brother." , I am afraid that Concubine Xian will abuse you, and now there are only our brothers left, I think my brother is the most important for an heir who doesn't know how to be filial."

Li Li has no attachment to his heirs, he is not straightforward, he has already given up on having children, if Emperor Yan misunderstood his sacrifice, it would be a good thing.

"I know that this palace incident will come sooner or later. This is a conspiracy and I can't stop it. I can only hope that my brother can trust me more, and this trust can last longer, so that I can let go and do it for me. You clear the obstacles in the way ahead. Brothers are united, and their strength can cut through gold, right?"

"I trust you." Emperor Yan said hastily.

Li Li smiled: "Well, when I clear the court and completely suppress Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning, I will be able to retire at that time. Maybe even if the emperor wants to see me, he may not be able to see me." .”

"Where are you going?"

"Where is my great general, where am I to follow? But before that, I have to ask the emperor for a favor."

"you say?"

"You can't say now, brother, promise me first, don't worry, you won't violate the laws and righteousness of the country."

Emperor Yan did not hesitate, and agreed with all his heart: "Okay, I will satisfy A Li's request."

Li Li rolled his eyes and said with emotion: "My brother is the best." He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "Do you want this?"

In fact, in the harem, Fan Zhiyuan was considered quite safe.

No matter who it is, it will not be easy to attack Emperor Yan again.

Emperor Yan looked at it, but still accepted the porcelain vase: "Anyone can have children, except Shen and Zhou. I will wait."

Li Li looked at him putting his sleeves back and said, "I won't wait too long, I'm already on my way."

Concubine Min was paid by the empress for one year, and after a month of contemplation behind closed doors, Emperor Yan had no objection, and the matter just passed.

But Shi Yu got a reward, and the Empress wanted to take this opportunity to make her a firm favorite. Unfortunately, Emperor Yan didn't seem to be very interested. After two visits, it gradually faded away, and he was still tepid. Grace never fades.

"Nowadays your mind is sensitive and suspicious. I'm afraid that there are still some grievances in your heart. I think it's better for you not to believe it at all." Fan Zhiyuan reminded Li Li who was staying in his bedroom tinkering with bottles and jars.

Facing this situation, Fan Zhiyuan has already calmed down, and when necessary, he will lend a helping hand, making powder and so on.

But this time, the thing in Li Li's hand was a bit strange. It was packed in a glass bottle, which looked a bit like water, but it had a floral fragrance, and the color was slightly yellow, making it a bit greasy in his hand.

"Don't worry, I know the character of Brother Huang. His ears are a little soft, he thinks more than he does, but he is timid. As long as he still needs me, I am not afraid that he will kill the donkey in advance." Li Li squinted his eyes. , sniffing the smell in the glass bottle, and handing it to Fan Zhiyuan, "Do you like it?"

"what is this?"

"Essential oils."

Fan Zhiyuan was expressionless.

"Long-lasting floral fragrance, apply some on the wrists and neck, it can last for a whole day, much better than ordinary spices." Li Li wiped some on his wrist, then raised his hand and said, "Is there any?" Do you think my whole body smells good?"

Fan Zhiyuan answered him with two loud sneezes.

Li Li: "... Forget it, a rough guy like you will never understand what is called an exquisite life."

Having given up on his family's general, Li Li smiled and took out another product, a small round tube, pulled out the cap, rotated from the bottom, and a red paste protruded from the head, as thick as a finger.

What the hell is this?

"Every girl must have a hand, lipstick is also. I asked Lan Zhou to find a lot of craftsmen to make this base, and it is now available for sale."

Gossip tabloids are money-burning things, even if they have advertising fees, they can't make ends meet. What's more, Li Li has a group of people under him, and they need money for food and work, just like burning money.

If you don't have a reliable source of income, you really can't bear it.

Zuo Xiang and the others want to run a newspaper, and the initial investment can make them cry.

Fan Zhiyuan saw Li Li smearing his mouth in front of the mirror, then turned to look at him and asked, "Does it look good?"

The originally light-colored lips instantly turned rosy, looking extremely alluring, so it turned out to be rouge.

Fan Zhiyuan forcibly moved his eyes away from it, his eyes flickering: "You don't want to wipe all the messy things on your face, what if you eat it in your mouth?"

"Just to let it be eaten, Brother General, do you want to eat it?" Li Li pursed her lips, and approached Fan Zhiyuan cutely.

The latter quickly took a step back, and when he reached the door, he didn't know where to look.

"Oh, it's really boring." Li Li put away the lipstick and put it on the table, "When Lan Zhou comes back, let him promote it, but this thing is expensive and not expensive, and it's enough to make money by only selling noble people. It's gone."

When Lan Zhou was mentioned, Fan Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and Li Li knew that this person must have investigated it, so he pretended to be regretful and said: "Lan Zhou is good at everything, and he is also good at doing business. Get the hang of it, otherwise I don’t need to teach him by hand.”

Hearing this, Fan Zhiyuan frowned again, and learned from his master that as a big brother, this is what he likes to mess with the most, isn't it him?

Fan Zhiyuan still couldn't help asking: "Then who developed these?"

"You are really asking too much. Is there anyone in the world who has more insight into beauty and skin care than me?" Li Li raised her head proudly.

"You?" Fan Zhiyuan was surprised.

"Yes."

The doubt in Fan Zhiyuan's eyes deepened.

Seeing the brows getting deeper and deeper, Li Li's mouth was raised higher, scolding Mu Mu in his heart, Mu Mu, wouldn't he think about turning a corner again?

He thought for a while and raised his finger to tick: "I can tell you a secret, do you want to hear it?"

"what?"

"What are you doing so far away? Am I a scourge?" Li Li gave Fan Zhiyuan a displeased look, "Come closer."

Fan Zhiyuan walked up to Li Li with suspicion and curiosity.

"Bend down, I'm only telling you one person." There was a difference in height, Li Li had to stand on tiptoe to get Fan Zhiyuan's ear.

The latter didn't seem to accept this kind of intimacy, but he still bent down as he said.

Li Li's seriousness turned into a deep smile when he saw the face close at hand, and he said: "Lan Zhou has nothing to do with Xiao Yunxi, second senior brother, think about it carefully, and make a bold guess." Guess, he is in the capital."

There was a hot and humid breath coming from his ears, Fan Zhiyuan's whole body was stiff, he didn't care what Li Li said, he just felt hot from the base of his ears.

He really wanted to get away quickly, but just as he was about to move, he heard Li Li yell in a low voice: "Don't move."

The soft touch came from the cheeks, and the moist lips mixed with the breath, Fan Zhiyuan felt his mind explode instantly, and it went blank.

Li Li usually flirts with flirting, but he has never been so menglang before, but this made Fan Zhiyuan's heart tremble quickly, staring blankly at the smiling eyebrows and bright red lips smeared with lipstick.

"I'm going to take a bath and wash up. If Brother General doesn't want to leave, why don't you stay together? The tub is big enough."

Li Li's eyes were clear and bright, clearly reflecting Fan Zhiyuan's face, so stupid, so dazed, invited by those beautiful eyes, it seemed that if he looked at him one more time, he would be trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.

And those words revealed a charming ambiguity, which made people daydream endlessly.

In the end, with his strong will, Fan Zhiyuan let himself look away before the fall, took a step back, two steps, and finally didn't even have to say goodbye.

Li Li crossed his arms and looked at his figure who seemed to be running away, and couldn't help leaning against the table with raised eyebrows and smiling.

It's interesting to go out this time.

Fan Zhiyuan was only focused on going out, completely ignoring that there was something wrong with his face.

He was still engrossed in just now, and he didn't see Donglai and Nanxiang who covered their mouths and almost laughed out loud at the door, and Xiaofei who was staring and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.

All the people stared at him.

Uncle Tian came over with tea, and was about to report something, but he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was dumbfounded and said, "Master, your face..."

What happened to his face?

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xiaofei took a mirror and came over. Fan Zhiyuan saw the red lips marks on his face, and his face became hot all of a sudden.

"General, you should just follow." Xiaofei suggested very seriously. Being targeted by Prince Yi, he might not be able to become a free person in this life. See, a red seal declares sovereignty.

Fan Zhiyuan took a deep breath, wiped his face and threw everyone out.

That night, he was lying on the bed in the wing room. He didn't know whether it was Qiu Huhu who was too fierce, or his mind was restless, and he couldn't sleep. His mind was full of someone with a playful expression, who looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother General, let's go... ..."
