Queen is the top

Everyone listened attentively and looked at Mu Xiao unanimously, only to see him say with a slightly strange expression, "A few days ago, when I passed a desert in the Western Regions, I saw a legendary mirage."

When Shi Yuqing heard it, she immediately became interested, her eyes lit up, "A mirage? But the city floating in the sky?"

Mu Xiao nodded, smiled and praised, "Yuqing is well-informed, that's it."

Shi Yuqing smiled, "I've seen it in books, and I heard it's very spectacular."

He Jingyi put his hand on his waist, when they sat together, he always liked to enclose him in his own range like this, and he couldn't help showing a proud smile when he heard Mu Xiao's praise.

"A city floating in the air? Is that the place where immortals live?" The Supreme Emperor had never heard of it, and was surprised when he heard it.

Mu Xiao smiled and put down her wine glass, "The locals also said so. It is said that people who often walk in the desert will have the opportunity to see the city in the sky. I don't know why this phenomenon occurs. Maybe it is really a place where gods live. uncertain."

"Master, can you see what the city looks like?" Shi Yuqing asked curiously.

Mu Xiao raised her chin slightly, and recalled seriously, "The house in the sky that day looked very different from Dacheng's, and I had never seen it like that in the Western Regions."

"Oh? Is the house where the gods live really different? I really want to see it with my own eyes." Shi Yuqing sounded quite interested.

Seeing that he was only busy chatting and didn't eat much food, He Jingyi was worried that he would be hungry at night, so he picked up another dish for him, put it in his bowl, and said with a smile, "It's a wonder that can only be seen in the desert. , I am also interested in going to have a look.”

"Whenever you are free, Master will take you to the Western Regions to have a good time." Mu Xiao smiled, "It's just that, as the emperor and queen, the government cannot do without you."

He Jingyi looked at Shi Yuqing's slightly expectant eyes, smiled, and said firmly, "If you really want to go, you will have time when Chao Gang stabilizes."

Shi Yuqing heard that he seemed to have a plan, and smiled with him: Do you really want to go in the future?

He Jingyi pampered him: Naturally.

The arc of Shi Yuqing's mouth is even deeper: I'm looking forward to it.

He Jingyi touched his shoulder, took away the wine glass he was about to put into his mouth, and moved his chin slightly towards the table: drink less, eat more food?

Shi Yuqing originally wanted to take advantage of his inattention to drink two more glasses. He can drink quite well, and he didn't feel drunk after a few drinks. When he stopped him, he could only shrug his shoulders and nodded: "Okay, Jing Yi."

When it came to government affairs, Mu Xiao didn't know anything about it, so he didn't ask much, but seeing that the two of them seemed to be able to make eye contact was also novel, so he couldn't help but said, "What are you two flirting with?"

He Mingfeng laughed when he heard it, "The two of them can convey affection with their eyes, I'm afraid they were talking about their private matters just now, Mr. Mu will get used to it."

Mu Xiao smiled brightly when she heard the words, and asked He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing, "Is that true?"

Shi Yuqing smiled and didn't answer, He Jingyi nodded, looked at him and said affectionately, "Lan Jun and I have long been connected."

Mu Xiao was very happy to see the love between the two, but what He Jingyi said next made him unable to laugh, "I still remember that Master and King Xuan can also understand each other's meaning through their eyes?"

Mu Xiao hurriedly waved his hands, "That's not the case, I just scolded him, he just couldn't see it."

When Shi Yuqing saw Mu Xiao mentioning that although King Xuan always had distasteful words on his lips, he clearly cared about him, so he must have feelings for him.

Such a pair of happy friends made him feel very interesting.

The Supreme Emperor's expression was not as happy as those of them. He remembered the government affairs that He Jingyi had just mentioned, frowned and said, "I heard that there were some criticisms from the previous court, is there anything wrong?"

The Emperor Taishang listened to Grand Master Yuan mention it a few times, and probably learned something about it. Some elders of the three dynasties strongly opposed the current situation where the emperor and queen ruled together, and even criticized the empress for interfering in politics many times. In addition, after He Jingyi ascended the throne, Shi Daoran's title was once again promoted , made him the Duke of Shao, who was only under the king of the county, and also named the old lady Meng and the wife of the Duke of Shao as first-class wives, and promoted the official positions of the husband and wife of the Duke of Shao, the brother and nephew of the mother's family, so that Many ministers felt dissatisfied, and believed that if the queen was not stopped and driven back to the harem, they might encounter foreign relatives interfering in politics.

Fortunately, Shi Daoran is now an idle job no matter how high the title is, and he himself rarely participates in political affairs. The brothers and nephews of the mother's family of the Duke and Duchess of the Shao Kingdom are low-key, diligent in doing things, and rarely interact with important officials in the court. They know how to avoid suspicion. Qing saved a lot of trouble.

Shi Yuqing's eyes darkened instantly when he heard the words, He Jingyi was keenly aware of it, took his hand on the table, and said calmly, "They are just some stubborn conservatives, my son is fair."

He Jingyi was very displeased when he thought of the words of those old ministers. Shi Yuqing was his husband, but not a woman. He was a man who could show his ambitions and should not be confined in the harem.

He was angry about this, and wanted to punish those people several times, but seeing that they were the veterans of the three dynasties, they had worked hard and were loyal, and Shi Yuqing thought that if they were punished for verbal criticism, it would be unsustainable. He Jingyi praised his mind and intelligence, so he only verbally warned those people a few times, but he still let him go. Xi Weimen kept a close eye on those people.

Shi Yuqing smiled generously, and said to the Supreme Emperor, "They think that the minister should not be a regent as a queen, and that the minister is only attached to Jingyi and has no ability to govern the court, but the minister is confident and will use his achievements to convince them. "

When the Supreme Emperor heard these bold words, his original worries were swept away, and he smiled relievedly, "Okay, a man should be like this!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass towards Shi Yuqing, and Shi Yuqing immediately raised his wine glass respectfully and touched him slightly.

"Father believes in Yuqing's talent, and hopes that Yuqing can settle those old scholars as soon as possible." After the Taishanghuang said, he laughed and drank the wine in one gulp.

"I will not disappoint my father!" Shi Yuqing replied loudly.

He Jingyi looked at his eyes shining with self-confidence, couldn't look away from his attraction, with a doting smile on his mouth, looked at Mu Xiao and nodded, and sighed in his heart: Seeing Yi'er so happy, I can rest assured up.

Mu Xiao only stayed in the palace for two days before leaving in a hurry. According to his reason, he was worried that King Xuan would find him after he cracked it.

Although He Jingyi, Shi Yuqing, and the Supreme Emperor were reluctant to part with him, seeing that he insisted on leaving, they had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, he promised to come back to visit everyone from time to time, so they would not be too nostalgic.

Mu Xiao was sent out of the palace by He Jingyi, Shi Yuqing and the Supreme Emperor with a carriage full of fine wines and fine wines that the three of them had prepared for him, and went out of the city to travel around satisfied.

Outside the corridor, butterflies danced around the bright flowers, and the spring breeze evenly swayed the green bamboo leaves, and slowly moved one or two pieces of water floating in a shallow pool surrounded by pebbles.

"You are the prince of Dongying?!" Princess Taiyang froze, left Yayoi's embrace, and turned her head to look at him in surprise.

Yayoi smiled slightly, rubbing her hands on her smooth shoulders, "Are you surprised by my identity?"

Princess Taiyang nodded, then shook her head again, "It's just an accident."

"You are a princess, if I am not a prince, how can I be worthy of you." Yayoi said softly.

These words pierced Princess Taiyang's heart, and made the worries in her heart a little bit less, she covered her mouth and smiled charmingly, and inadvertently let half of the shawl on her upper body fall down, revealing her entire shoulders, and she was still slightly exposed He smiled and said, "You don't want to be your prince in Dongying, what are you going to do in Dacheng?"

She said this half out of curiosity, and the other half was also tempted.

Although she loves to entangle with men, as a princess, she still has a sense of guard against foreigners. His identity has brought back a lot of the rationality that she has gradually abandoned since she met him.

The man I know is the crown prince of Dongying. Although Dongying and Dacheng have coexisted peacefully since her great-grandfather, the king of Dongying promised not to have any disagreements with Dacheng, but he is a foreign race, and he has such an identity. She had to think more about it.

Yayoi pinched her lips with a smile, and said with all her charm, "In the early years at home, I always heard how beautiful the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River was. This year, I have the opportunity to learn about Dacheng culture and travel around the mountains and rivers."

He smiled and kissed Princess Taiyang on the shoulder, "It really was a worthwhile trip, not only to appreciate such a beautiful landscape, but also to appreciate such a beautiful person."

His compliments don't sound annoying, they are more like provoking people's heartstrings, making people throb.

After being kissed by him on the back of the neck and sensitive ears, Princess Taiyang relaxed her guard even more. She squinted her eyes and said, "I don't know that the scenery in Dacheng is beautiful and magnificent in the south of the Yangtze River. I may not be the only beauty in Dacheng."

Yayoi smiled, "But I only want you."

This sentence caused Princess Taiyang to breathe tremblingly, and she was drowned in his tenderness, unable to extricate herself.

After some warmth, Princess Taiyang lay on Yayoi's chest, gently drawing circles with jade-like fingers.

"The princess just said that Dacheng is not only a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, so where else is there to go?" Yayoi rested her hand on the back of her head, and leisurely curled her hair that was hanging down.

Princess Taiyang smiled coquettishly, "There are so many good places to go."

Before she opened her mouth, Yayoi seemed to have thought of something, and said first, "I heard that Dacheng's Mount Tai is very magnificent, but is that so?"

Seeing his interested look, Princess Taiyang smiled and said, "I have never been there, but I also heard that this mountain is extremely majestic and majestic. Yayoi wants to see it?"

Yayoi nodded, "If I go, would the princess be willing to accompany me?"

Princess Taiyang had been fascinated by him for a long time, and immediately smiled, "Of course I am willing."

Yayoi smiled and said, "That's great, but the princess has never been there, so I don't know if the princess knows someone who has been there to accompany her and introduce the local characteristics. It will be even more interesting to travel."

"People who have been to Mount Tai." Princess Taiyang thought about it carefully, and then she had a flash of inspiration, "It really is, Mount Tai is in the border of Qizhou, which is the fief of my fifth brother. Our mother, how majestic and majestic Mount Tai is, if we go to Mount Tai, we can let him accompany us."

Yayoi said happily when she heard this, "Isn't the princess's fifth brother a prince, with the company of the accomplished princess and prince, and also enjoying the most beautiful scenery here, my trip is really worthwhile."

Princess Taiyang smiled, "It's fine if you like it, when do you want to go?"

Yayoi said, "I've played Changping all the time, it's not as good as the future."

Princess Taiyang saw that his handsome face was even more dazzling because of the smile, and her heart melted together. She nodded, leaned against his chest, and said softly, "I listen to Yayoi."

Yayoi gently rubbed her back with his hand, and the gentle movement made her close her eyes comfortably.

But I didn't see Yayoi's coldness that was completely different from the gentleness of the past after she agreed.

Soon after the empress dowager gave birth, Shi Qiaohuang and He Mingfeng left Changping to travel around. Before leaving, everyone went to the tower to see them off. As soon as he left, his eyes were clouded with tears. He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing comforted him for a long time before the three mothers were relieved a little.

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing, who were originally in love with each other, are rare in that their political ideas are also quite similar. They both advocate to govern the country with tranquility, recuperate, develop agriculture, and do not increase taxes.

Even so, in the year when the two first ascended the throne, the court was full of voices of criticism. The biggest controversy was that the empress should not interfere with the government as a harem, and Emperor Taizong failed to achieve the same rule of the emperor and empress. , which aroused strong opposition from many veterans.

Especially those old Confucians saw that Shi Yuqing was still young, looked too immature, didn't talk much, and had never heard of any respected master he studied under, so they didn't believe how an immature boy could govern the country .
