Chapter 267

"Oh." Du Xiaoli thought that Han Mingze, like Du Yunhan, was a fox and would dress up as a pig to eat a tiger!

"I have made my position clear to you first. Should you also express it?" Han Mingze said.

"Well, I'll help you for Changle," Du Xiaoli said. "But I think we should reach an agreement."

"You say." Han Mingze was in a good mood when he heard Du Xiaoli's words.

"My father, my brother Xiaoyi and I have no interest in your throne, so I don't want the situation of cunning rabbit dead running dog cooking." Du Xiaoli said, "the emperor also knows my character. I'd rather live my own little life."

Therefore, if he plans to deal with them in the end, she doesn't care. It depends on whether he is willing to give up this country!

Although Du Xiaoli's words are a little disrespectful, Han Mingze is not angry. Maybe it's not that time yet, maybe it's his heart, and he doesn't want to be an enemy with her

After coming out of the imperial study, Du Xiaoli saw father-in-law Shan. He squinted at Du Xiaoli.

"See you, princess." father-in-law Shan saluted Du Xiaoli.

"Grandpa Shan, I haven't seen you just now!" Du Xiaoli joked.

"The emperor said he wanted to drink the melted snow water to make tea. The servant didn't go to kimchi." father-in-law Shan looked at the tea in his hand and said with a smile, "are you leaving now, princess? Do you want to have a cup of tea?"

"No, I have to go to Princess Changle," said Du Xiaoli.

"Next time I have a chance to invite the princess to have tea. The servant sent tea to the emperor first."

Father-in-law Shan said and went in. Du Xiaoli looked at father-in-law Shan and asked the superior Xia yuan to leave.

I made tea for nearly an hour

It was noon when they came to Han Mingxiang's palace. They had lunch together. I have to say that the imperial chef in the palace is still good. His cooking is only a little worse than that in the wind and snow building.

"I heard you came early in the morning, but when you didn't come, I sent someone to find you. Then I knew you had gone to the queen. Why have you been so long?" Han Mingxiang said while eating.

Since she mixed with Du Xiaoli, she forgot the rule of not eating or sleeping.

"I stayed with the queen for almost an hour, and then was called by the emperor." Du Xiaoli took a sip of soup. "I stayed in the imperial study for a while."

"The emperor is looking for you?" Han Mingxiang asked in surprise.

Du Xiaoli nodded and said, "I have something to ask you."

"You say."

There are only Xia yuan and Han Mingxiang's personal servant girls in the room, so Du Xiaoli directly asked his doubts.

"Why do I think the atmosphere in the palace is different? Also, there are many royal guards outside the Queen's palace. It feels like the queen is under house arrest, but the crown prince and I can go in at will. It's not like being under house arrest. What's the matter?"

"I don't know what's going on. It happened soon after I entered the palace. I heard that the emperor said that the Queen's spirit was not very good recently. She always felt that someone wanted to persecute her, so she sent the imperial guards to protect her. But I think the reaction of the Emperor and the queen was strange." Han Mingxiang whispered, "In addition, the emperor said that the queen is not in good health and should not work too hard. She is not in charge of my marriage, but imperial concubine Yi."

Du Xiaoli poked his rice bowl with chopsticks and said, "it's really a little strange, but you're leaving tomorrow. Don't worry about things here."

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow." Han Mingxiang smiled bitterly.

Du Xiaoli saw Han Mingxiang's smile, reached out to hold her hand and said, "I said that if you don't live well there, I'll bring you back. The marriage is only temporary. When you want to come back, I'll pick you up. Don't think you have no hope when you go there, you know?"

"Well, I know you'll help me if I need it," Han Mingxiang said. "It's a blessing in my last life to have you as a sister in this life."

In the royal family, although there are many sisters, there are only a few who treat each other sincerely. When others see her, they either respect her or disdain her. Even though they smile at her on the surface, they don't really regard her as a friend in their heart.

"Well, eat quickly, or it will be cold in a moment." Du Xiaoli said.

Before leaving the imperial study, Han Mingze told her that they could not tell Han Mingxiang about their conversation, and she also made a request to let others know what Tianding woman she was.

After lunch, she went to see the Empress Dowager. Seeing that she was in good health, she checked her and sat down for a while before leaving.

The Empress Dowager said that as a royal sister sending off relatives, she didn't have to do anything. She just had to go on the road with Han Mingxiang tomorrow.

Han Mingxiang had to get up in the middle of the night to clean up, so he rested in the afternoon. Du Xiaoli was alone in his palace. He had nothing to do, so he asked someone to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone and beat drums on the paper.

She thought Zhao Zhen was too dangerous. Her intuition told her that he didn't have any good intentions to marry Han Mingxiang, so she should improve the national strength of Fengming as soon as possible, just in case. Whether it is the development of agriculture or commerce, the process is much slower, and Han Mingze has not mastered all his rights. Even if he wants to implement some policies, he is willing but weak. Moreover, the army is the most direct way to quickly consolidate strength. In addition to training soldiers in this soft power, there is a faster way - to improve their hard power! This is not difficult for her. In her previous life, most of the bangs were all kinds of hot weapons such as bullets, but one of her "masters" was a fan of cold weapons. She would make a lot of cold weapons. At that time, when training Du Xiaoli, she also taught her some. Because the brush is too inconvenient, Du Xiaoli asks Xia yuan to find some burned charcoal and use it as a pen. "Young lady, the bow and crossbow you drew is so strange." Yingge brought Du Xiaoli tea and said when she saw Du Xiaoli's painting. "Strange?" Du Xiaoli looked at the crossbow after drawing it. "It looks much smaller than ordinary bows and crossbows. Will the range of the arrow be much closer?" Yingge asked. "No, it will be far away. And it can shoot three arrows at once." Du Xiaoli said. "So powerful?" Yingge said in surprise. "You'll know when you do it." Du Xiaoli no longer explained in depth and smiled mysteriously at Yingge. Du Xiaoli's appearance aroused Yingge's curiosity, but she knew that Du Xiaoli wouldn't say it now, even if she asked, so she had to look forward to seeing the finished product as soon as possible.
