Chapter 187 Marriage
Emperor Yong's expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Li Mingji lowered his eyes slightly, maintaining a posture of saluting, as if he was waiting for Emperor Yong.But Emperor Yong knew that these soldiers from the Dianqian Division and Huangcheng Division were brought out by Li Mingji. As for the rebels behind him, they were almost all Li Mingji's people. , today I can't get out of this Funing Palace.

But he did understand Li Mingji.

Just like 20 years ago, when he was forced to ascend the throne, his greatest wish at that time was to leave the capital with his sister Huang and find a house in a beautiful and comfortable place.In the future, the emperor's sister will marry, and he will marry a wife, and they will each live their own lives.

If freedom and the throne were in front of him 20 years ago, how would he choose?Back then, he would definitely choose freedom without hesitation, but now he has been involved in the torrent of power, and he can no longer leave, so he can only choose to stay.

But Li Mingji was different from him.

Since no one can control his destiny, it is natural to live according to his own ideas.

Emperor Yong said slowly: "Go."

"Report me safe, lest Yaoyao worry. She is afraid of the dark, so don't go back too late. As for these things..."

Li Mingji said: "I will tell her."

Emperor Yong's tensed brows eased a little, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Li Mingji's lips curled into a slight smile.

"The minister obeys the order."

……

That night Shu Yao slept very restlessly, as soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to hear the piercing sound of weapons clashing in her ears, and see the thick fog of blood all over the sky.

Gradually, she felt restrained, a little out of breath, as if there were invisible ropes binding her limbs, reminding her of her dream that she was tied to the bed, and the bells on her ankles were ringing...

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, holding Li Mingji tightly with both hands, with her head buried in his chest, no wonder she felt unable to breathe.Li Mingji closed his eyes, as if he was in a deep sleep, but he held her waist forcefully with one hand.

... Li Mingji?

Why is he here with her?
The imperial army had to train early in the morning, but Shu Yao didn't have these restrictions. He would often spend a lot of time sleeping, and the dining room began to prepare lunch, and Li Mingji had already returned from training.Even if he doesn't go to training, Li Mingji will wake up early, read books and practice calligraphy, and live a strict and regular life.As such, it is rare that this point has not yet awakened.

Shu Yao can't remember what happened in her dream last night, but she finds Li Mingji lying quietly beside her very strange.He closed his eyes, his brows were clear and meaningful, like a handsome landscape painting, too beautiful to be true.Eager to try, she pulled out a hand and poked Li Mingji's face.

Li Mingji frowned, but did not open his eyes.

Shu Yao worked harder, pinched his nose, and touched his lips.The two were so close, she felt the temperature rising after moving for a while, she couldn't help twisting her body, trying to break free from his embrace, but he hugged him tighter and tighter, turned over, and pressed down head-on.

It was as if a wild beast had captured its prey, looking down at her, wondering where to start.

Without the anger as imagined, Li Mingji just pinched Shu Yao's nose in the same way, "Don't move around."

When Shu Yao turned over, he woke up.It's just that he was greedy for this gentle place, and he didn't open his eyes until he realized that Shu Yao wanted to break free, so he fished her back and pressed her into his arms again.

"Li Mingji, what time is it?" It's rare for someone to wake up later than her. Shu Yao turned around and moved out the old rhetoric that the nuns in the palace urged her to get up, "Lunch is being prepared. , people can't sleep for too long, you can't afford it anymore, be careful to lose your head."

Li Mingji lay down again, adjusted his position, and closed his eyes, "Then Jiaojiao will become stupid with me."

Shu Yao was shocked: "I'm going to get up, let me go—"

"Jiaojiao."

His voice suddenly lowered, a little more gentle and intimate, as well as imperceptible fragility, "Sleep with me for a while, okay?"

He has not slept so peacefully for many years.

There is no fear of life, no pain of bereavement, no hatred.

Shu Yao's heart twitched, softened just like that, and said hello in a dizzy manner.

Opening his eyes again, the meal has been warmed several times.Yin Fu was sitting in the Fengchun hall, he didn't dare to go in to call for someone, and he didn't dare to go back to the palace to report, he stared blankly at the servants.The Persian cat swaggered back and forth a few times in front of him, and left a string of plum blossom marks on Yin Fu's expensive official uniform, just as arrogant as the little princess who did her own way since she was a child.

Shu Yao was led in by Li Mingji.

Just now Li Mingji tied hair for her, obviously it was not the first time he let him do it, but it made Shu Yao blush a little.Immediately afterwards, Li Mingji leaned down, with a bit of teasing in his smile: "Jiaojiao's face is so red."

So I don't know how long it was delayed, so I could only comb the messy bun again.

Yin Fu pretended not to see the imprint on the neck of the little princess and the overlapping hands of the two, cleared his throat, and said: "His Majesty's order is to enshrine Li Mingji as Marquis of Wu'an, to grant the mansion of Marquis of Wu'an, and to give good fields to slaves and maidservants." , Jinxiu Lingluo, married Princess Huaxi in December."

This was an imperial decree that had already been drawn up, but it was shelved because Su Qin aroused public opinion, and the ministers of the DPRK and China opposed it many times.After last night, Emperor Yong added some more rewards and fixed the date of his marriage with Shu Yao.

Shu Yao frowned: "Why is it until December?"

There is still half a year, a long time.

Yin Fu apologized and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, this is already the closest day planned by Qin Tianjian. It's been a long time. In the past six months, the ceremonies have made good preparations to ensure that the princess will have a good marriage."

Shu Yao reluctantly nodded: "That's fine."

Yin Fu couldn't help but glanced at Li Mingji.This person is pretending to be noble now, and it is not because someone sent someone to suggest that Emperor Yong "advance the marriage date" and "the sooner the better", as expected, the ones who can win the favor of this little princess are all good people.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has also appointed you as the prosecutor to be responsible for the trial of Xiao Sui's case. Once you have rested, you can enter the palace."

Yin Funeng has been by Emperor Yong's side for so long, so he has naturally acquired the ability to observe words and demeanor.After last night, Emperor Yong's attitude towards Li Mingji was much more polite. He definitely didn't regard him as a subordinate official, and it was probably related to last night's coup d'état.Although Yin Fu didn't know exactly what happened, but like Emperor Yong, he adjusted his attitude.

Li Mingji said good, then turned to look at Shu Yao, "Do you want Jiaojiao to come with me?"

When Shu Yao heard Xiao Sui's name, she began to think, the person who attacked the princess' mansion last night was really Xiao Sui, right?Those corpses have been removed, and the blood has not been cleaned up, which clearly reminds Shu Yao that last night was not a dream.Fortunately, looking at it this way, my uncle and Li Mingji won.
