Extra Chapter 2: The sweetness continues (thanks for the small reward). Aoxue felt a little distressed about this issue, so she reminded Ji Shuxuan, but what if she reminded her? If Bai Ze really used any tricks to strengthen the XX function, I'm afraid

They can't figure it out! If you don't remind them, you can't watch those two people die from excessive sexual indulgence!

After hesitating for a long time, Aoxue finally said helplessly: "Find some time first, let's go see them and then talk!"

…

Back in the palace, Li Tianyou and Aoxue sat in the main hall, and then there were rounds of worship. According to the process, first the ministers worship, then the concubines in the harem worship, and finally the wife and her children worship.

Originally, Aoxue thought it was very relaxing to sit and receive worship, but when she actually sat on a high chair, she didn't feel relaxed anymore!

First of all, that phoenix robe and phoenix instrument made her feel extremely heavy. Although it had been streamlined a lot, it still weighed heavily on her head, which made her very uncomfortable for a person who had developed a lazy bone in the past year; secondly, being surrounded by others

When worshiping, she cannot lie crookedly as usual on the imperial concubine's couch, but must sit upright and maintain a graceful and noble facial expression; secondly, it is very inconvenient to go to the toilet. As a queen, on such an important occasion

During the ceremony, you can’t run to the toilet at any time!

"What, are you tired?" Li Tianyou suddenly spoke, covering Aoxue's hand with his hand, and whispered, "How about you go and rest for a while? There is a room prepared for you in the back."

"No, I'll hold on for a while." Although it feels uncomfortable, as a queen, you should act like a mother to the world no matter what!

Seeing that Aoxue was unwilling to rest, Li Tianyou did not insist and only said softly: "If you really feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself!" Aoxue just said "yes" and cast a reassuring look at him.

After the ministers paid their respects, the concubines came to the harem.

There were originally more than 50 concubines. After being shuffled twice on a large scale, there are now only a dozen or so left. Aoxue knows very well that these dozen or so are either innocent and simple, or they have deeper intentions.

Due to the small number of people, with Yan Fei as the leader, they all came in in just one round, kowtowed and said congratulations.

Looking at the young, beautiful and promising concubines in the audience, Aoxue felt slightly sad. Although Li Tianyou had not favored any of them, these women were Li Tianyou's women after all!

Even if he, Li Tianyou, loves her again now, what about one year from now, three years from now, or ten years from now?

He is the emperor, and even if he is over 50, he can still marry a 20-year-old girl. But as for her, as a woman, if she really waits until the day when her beauty fades in old age, who knows if Li Tianyou will even look at her again! What's more,

There will never be a shortage of women in the palace to seduce the emperor!

Oh, what a hassle! She will have to continue to swat flies in the future! We must drive all these women out!

Just when the concubines were kneeling at the foot of the stairs, Li Tianyou peeked at Aoxue with his peripheral vision: Very good, this woman doesn't look kind, and she is obviously jealous!

Thinking about how many years I had been jealous for her, now I occasionally see her jealous for me, it feels so happy!

Of course, as a mature man, he cannot make his woman unhappy just for the sake of happiness.

"Cough." Li Tianyou coughed lightly.

Suddenly, the whole hall was silent. The concubines at the foot of the stairs did not receive the order to stand up, so they could only continue to kneel with their foreheads bowed to the ground.

Li Tianyou slowly glanced at the hunched backs at the foot of the stairs: "I, since I came to the throne, all my beloved concubines have been virtuous and virtuous, and they understand the righteousness..."

When everyone heard this, they just felt that they were going to be rewarded after these words. Although everyone had a calm expression on their faces, they were happy in their hearts. Especially their daughter, who had stayed in the palace well after the last two rounds of cleaning up the harem.

It's gratifying.

"Of course, the state affairs are ongoing, I have been traveling abroad, and I have never treated you well. I feel deeply ashamed." Li Tianyou paused.

No matter how happy everyone is, who doesn’t know that the Queen is pregnant! This woman is pregnant, so naturally she cannot serve men, and men always need someone to serve them! It seems that the emperor is planning to favor other women! Maybe today he will give it to her.

It's possible that everyone will rise in rank. Taking advantage of the Queen's few months of pregnancy, I hope that other women can share some of the Emperor's favor.

"The ancient palace is lonely, and the palace flowers are lonely and red. Whenever I see my beloved concubines in their youth, I am even more afraid of letting down their good time. Therefore, I decided -"

His words stopped at the right time. Everyone's hearts were high, their appetites were aroused, some were nervous, but more importantly they were looking forward to it.

Even Aoxue couldn't help but turn her head and glance at him: What is this Li Tianyou doing?

Out of the corner of his eye, Li Tianyou noticed Aoxue's gaze. He did not glance at Aoxue. His pair of purple eyes still looked at the audience, and then he slowly said: "Let all the beloved concubines go home! From now on, marriage is free."

When he mentioned the four words "freedom to marry", Li Tianyou said it very slowly, almost every word.

Everyone was shocked, and everyone who was originally full of joy suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake as if tied to a stone!

I had known that the emperor did not favor these concubines, and that he had allowed the queen to banish a large number of concubines into the royal temple. But what I didn't expect was that the emperor actually dealt with the last dozen or so concubines together!

Leaving no escape route like this seems to be a direct announcement to everyone: In his era, Li Tianyou, the Xiliang harem no longer needs concubines!

As for Aoxue, she had not heard any news about Li Tianyou's decision in advance. Although she was surprised at this moment, her eyes were full of joy.

I had only heard in novels that the emperor dismissed the harem for a woman, but I never thought that one day such a story would happen to me!

"In the past, we allowed them to stay in the harem because they were afraid that you would get used to your freedom and suddenly enter the deep palace, where you would be bored and find something to do for you. Now that you are pregnant, you can raise your baby with peace of mind. This harem, the so-called palace fight, will not be with you anymore.

It has nothing to do with it." Li Tianyou said calmly, a voice that only Aoxue could hear.

But Aoxue was really embarrassed. The so-called palace fight she thought before was actually just Li Tianyou fearing that she would be bored, so he set up a stage for her to find something to do...

"Your Majesty, think twice!" A court official hurriedly came out and knelt down towards Li Tianyou, "In all dynasties, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards. The purpose is not simply to serve the emperor, but also to spread the branches..."

Before the courtiers could finish speaking, Li Tianyou showed a hint of impatience: "The queen is already pregnant with the dragon heir!"

"But..." The courtier wanted to say something else.

"My child must be a boy!" Li Tianyou cut off his words again, and soon he remembered Aoxue saying that he favored sons over daughters, "Of course, even if it is a girl, I believe that the queen will give me a royal son sooner or later!

"

These words, not to mention the thoughtful courtiers and concubines in the audience, even the wives and courtiers' children waiting outside the palace understood: The emperor does not want other women to bear children for him! Of course, by the way

It put an end to the fantasies of all the courtiers who wanted to continue to stuff him with women!

The courtier who was lying on the ground quickly retreated, and the concubines were both happy and resentful. They were happy because the emperor favored the queen so much that instead of being widows in the palace, they might as well go home and remarry; what they were resentful about was that now this

Once you leave the palace, you will have no chance to climb up a branch and become a phoenix. Your role in family promotion will be very small!

However, whether they are happy or resentful, at this moment, all they can say in unison is: Thank you, Lord!

The banquet continued. After the married woman and her children bowed down, everyone started the dinner. After the dinner, Li Tianyou and Aoxue took a jade chariot and walked to the palace wall.

The palace wall was majestic, and Li Tianyou's hand was always on Aoxue's waist, and the two of them walked up slowly.

Li Tianyou is wearing a dark purple dragon robe, with flying dragons flying in the sky on the front, back and shoulders, and auspicious cloud patterns made of silver threads on the corners, which is noble and attractive; while Aoxue is wearing a crimson phoenix suit.

, the front and back are embroidered with delicate thousands of birds and phoenixes, and the corners of the skirt are intricately decorated with peonies, which is graceful and elegant.

The moment the two of them appeared on the palace wall and tower, thousands of lights and lanterns filled their eyes like stars in the sky.

"Long live the emperor, long live the queen!" All the people leaned down, with such adoring voices and such unified movements.

After Li Tianyou asked the people to surrender, he also said a long speech. First, he hoped that God would bless Xiliang and the weather would be smooth. Then he briefly stated the governance policy for the new year, which included reducing taxes, promoting imperial examinations, and further encouraging business.

After the people cheered again, Li Tianyou motioned to the officials below to light fireworks.

Just listen to "boom boom boom", first the fireworks at the entrance of the palace shot out into the sky, and then the entire four gates of the capital, fireworks burst out in more than one place.

The people's eyes were looking in the direction of the fireworks exploding, and for a moment, the atmosphere was full of new year.

Seeing the people in high spirits, Li Tianyou and Aoxue looked at each other and felt extremely satisfied.

"Let's go! It's been a tiring day and it's time for us to go back." Li Tianyou said.

Aoxue smiled, followed the direction of Li Tianyou's palm, and walked back to the steps of the lower tower. The jade chariot had already stopped under the palace wall. After the two of them got down from the tower, they got on the jade chariot and headed towards the Jiaofang Hall.

The moment they entered the Jiaofang Hall, Li Tianyou and Aoxue felt something was wrong around them almost at the same time.

The palace was very quiet. The palace servants and even the hidden guards who had been serving in the palace had all died out. There was no sound of anyone or the chirping of insects or birds in the entire palace. It was very similar to the day when I walked down the southeast and entered the first place.

The feeling behind a dead city.

Li Tianyou and Aoxue looked at each other, and they read two words from each other's eyes: Baize!

"You just stay here." Li Tianyou ordered the palace people behind him, and then walked in with Aoxue.

Along the garden path, the aura belonging to Bai Ze became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, a wisp of silver streaked through the air, lingering, and then a head of silver hair...

...the dividing line between tail and tsundere...
