    ?

    Although Ye Mao has not yet made it to the ceremony, but his mind is mature, he sees these words more clearly than many adults.

    Chu Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked away from him. Although Ye Mao's words were polite, her situation was obviously different from his.

    She was kept in the dark, deceived, and used for so long, treating her enemy as a benefactor, she was so wrong, so wrong, Xue Ji was right, the most miserable person is her,  The most ridiculous person is also her.

    "Sister, why do you ask that? What happened?" Ye Mao was even more worried about her asking this inexplicable question.

    Chuyao lowered her head, her palms on the blanket gradually tightened, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth: "It's nothing, it's just that I see something clearly, and I can't be more sober now."

    Ye Mao approached and looked at her puzzledly: "Sister, is there something you're overthinking?"

    "No, it's because I didn't think too much about it before." Chuyao tightened her grip on the blanket in her hand. Although it was separated by the blanket, her fingers almost pierced the blanket with her fingernails and pierced into her flesh.

    At the beginning, she only thought about helping Rong Shaoyang defend Yezhou, so Xiao sent someone to take her life angrily. She never thought that the killer would be sent by Rong Shaoyang.  What, is it just because she didn't promise him to stay?  Rong Shaoyang thought she was still thinking about Xiao Jing?

    No matter what the reason is, it can't change what he has done.  And she is wrong now, and she is already wrong. These mistakes cannot be turned back, irreparable.

    Seeing her lowered her eyes and saying nothing, Ye Mao didn't know what to say, so she just stood quietly by the side.

    After an unknown amount of time, Liu Shu came in with a medicine bowl, blew the medicine to cool down, and fed it into Chuyao's mouth with a spoonful.  However, he poured all the medicine down in one gulp, even frowning.

    Seeing her like this, Liu Shu couldn't help whispering: "The imperial doctor said that the empress is pregnant, so you should relax."

    When Ye Mao first heard the news, he looked at Chuyao in shock.

    "I see." Chuyao put the bowl back on the tray, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and his expression returned to the past.

    "Miss, do you want to notify the emperor?" Liu Shu asked tentatively, after all, Chu Yao's appearance did not show any happiness.

    "The imperial physician will report it." Chu Yao finished drinking the medicine and lay down again.

    "Yes, this servant understands." Liu Shu picked up the medicine bowl, and took the tray out of the hall first, but she didn't expect to run into Rong Shaoyang head-on, and hurriedly said, "See Your Majesty."

    Rong Shaoyang didn't pay attention to her, went around directly, walked to Chuyao's low couch, picked up Chuyao, walked back to the bed curtain, and whispered: "It's more comfortable to lie on the bed."

    Chu Yao lowered her eyes and let him cover her tightly with the quilt, wrapping her up in a ball.

    "The imperial doctor said that the time is still short, so we can't make it clear yet. We'll have to see you again in a few days." Rong Shaoyang sat on the edge of the bed, stroked her forehead hair, looked down at her, and said softly, "How do your eyes feel?"  gone?"

    Chuyao raised his eyes, met his black pupils, shook his head, and said, "I can see clearly, it may be because I walked in the snow for too long just now, it's okay."

    "How could it not be a hindrance? The imperial doctor said that Xuetian might not be able to see things in the future." Rong Shaoyang sighed softly, "You are still like this, pretending everything to your heart, and then pretending that nothing happened. Now that you and I are married,  Can you give me a little more trust, don't carry it all by yourself."

    Listening to Rong Shaoyang's words, Chuyao's heart grew cold, and she felt a little nauseous. Wasn't he the one who lied to her the most?  Talking like honey, but hiding a knife behind his back.  Rong Shaoyang, Rong Shaoyang, I don't know if you should say that you are too scheming, but you can only blame yourself for being too stupid.

    "Yeah." Chu Yao nodded without showing any emotion on his face.  She is also becoming more and more good at disguising, as if she was born with a mask.

    "You still don't have to go to the palace banquet tonight." Rong Shaoyang frowned as he looked at her bloodless face.

    "Then how is it possible? On today's day, the emperor and empress were supposed to attend together. If they were absent in the first year, how much controversy would it cause in the court." Chu Yao stretched out his hand and held his hand on her forehead,  Said: "I don't want to embarrass you either."

    Rong Shaoyang held her hand instead, and smiled slightly: "Okay, but if you can't bear it, you must speak up."

    Chu Yao nodded.

    Then Rong Shaoyang talked to her for a while, Chuyao was tired and fell asleep, and he sat by and watched.

    It wasn't until nightfall that Chuyao woke up, and Liu Shu came in with the phoenix robe she was going to wear tonight.??, ready to change for Chuyao, Rong Shaoyang took the initiative to take the hand, dressed Chuyao one by one with his own hands, put the sable fur on her shoulders, and walked out of the hall holding her hand.

    They were not supposed to share the same chariot, so Rong Shaoyang carried her into his dragon chariot and sat side by side.  The spacious seat didn't look crowded when two people sat up, but knee to knee, shoulder to shoulder, Rong Shaoyang didn't let go of the cold hand holding her.

    The dragon chariot stopped at the Hall of Zhaohe, she walked in with him, and all the officials worshiped and shouted.

    Rong Shaoyang and Chu Yao sat on the dragon and phoenix golden chairs respectively, accepting the worship of the officials.

    The content of the palace banquet is nothing more than silk and bamboo orchestra, sleeve dance, and the unanimous compliments of the officials to the emperor. In fact, there is really no need to participate. Chu Yao came here just to find out what kind of people there are in the court.

    With the unification of the four kingdoms, there are naturally more courtiers. Now the city is still governed according to the old system, and each city has its own city owner. The city owner pays homage to the emperor once a year when he goes to the country, pays local taxes, and reports his achievements.  Basically, after the unification of the four countries, not many changes have been made in the administration of officials. One is that there is no time for this, and the other is that they are afraid of being too impatient and causing civil strife.

    ?For officials, the continued employment of those who surrendered was adopted, while those who resisted were dismissed, so now in the court, officials from the four countries are mixed, and there are all countries.  However, the heavy military and taxation are still in the hands of Li Guo, and most of the officials of the other three countries are still deputy.

    Chu Yao silently wrote down the names and official positions of each official in her heart, and she might use them in the future. She knew that not all of the current factions were really obedient.

    As the officials remembered, Chuyao's energy had been exhausted, and the scene below was very lively. She stood up calmly and went down the side stairs.

    Rong Shaoyang took a sip of his wine and noticed Chuyao leaving with his sideways eyes. He only thought she was tired, so he went on to deal with the courtiers, found an excuse, and left the Hall of Zhaohe.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
