The sun sets.
The air after the light rain is filled with the fragrance of earth.
The sky is clear and blue.
There were obviously many people standing in the square in front of the main hall of Yaohua Palace, but it was strangely quiet at this moment.
Luo Qingzhou got off the spaceship and immediately walked up to the Queen to pay his respects.
However, Nangong Huoyue didn't even look at him, her eyes were always fixed on "Hua Gu".
Luo Qingzhou knew that Yueying had already told her, but she still explained it again and in more detail.
After that, he whispered, "For Hua Gu, this is a good thing. It can help her nourish her body. And for Miss Yue Yao, she can avoid the sight of those people from Piao Miao Xian Zong and do many things in secret. It's the best of both worlds."
Nangong Huoyue stared at the girl in front of him for a long time before turning to look at him with a hint of sarcasm and sneer on his face: "Miss Yueyao? Did she even tell you her name?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately said embarrassedly: "She didn't say that. I heard it somewhere else."
Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly, suddenly raised a jade hand, stretched it in front of him, and said coldly: "Help me."
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to say more, so he could only lower his head and support her.
The moment their hands touched, Nangong Huoyue's nails pierced his palm fiercely.
Luo Qingzhou's cheek twitched, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Nangong Huoyue gave him another cold look before looking at the cold girl in front of him. A hypocritical smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Miss Yueyao, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I am so sorry, so sorry."
As he said that, he went over and took her hand affectionately, saying with a smile: "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Sister Yue.
The other person was still as cold as snow, with no other emotions on his face or in his eyes.
The three of them walked toward the corridor.
Long Er, wearing a green dress, followed behind, the bells on her feet jingling softly, sounding cheerful and pleasant.
She had already put on shoes and socks on her feet without knowing it.
Luo Qingzhou helped Nangong Huoyue up to the corridor and looked at Yuewu who was standing respectfully beside them.
The other person also looked at him, then lowered his head again, his cheeks slightly red.
Several people took off their shoes and entered the study.
In the study, there was the smell of cigarettes, the warmth of the heater, and a luxurious velvet carpet on the floor.
When Luo Qingzhou was about to lower his head to look at Sister Yue's feet under her skirt, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.
He immediately retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at his own feet and the small feet under the red skirt next to him.
"Miss Yueyao, please take a seat."
Nangong Huoyue walked to the table and sat down in the main seat, still with a smile on her face.
Yue Yao, wearing a white dress, sat quietly opposite.
Long Er stood behind her, looking at the Queen of Flame opposite her in a fiery red dress with unscrupulous eyes.
Nangong Huoyue also glanced at her, but ignored her. She turned to look at someone next to her and ordered in a cold voice, "Help me pinch it."
Luo Qingzhou stood behind her and massaged her shoulders.
Nangong Huoyue looked across and said with a smile, "Miss Yueyao, I heard that you went to the border with my husband this time and burned down the granary of the demon army. You made the first contribution to the victory of our Great Yan army. I am very pleased. The women of our Great Yan are indeed as brave as men. They serve the country and the people just as well as men."
Then he smiled and said, "It is not in vain that after I ascended the throne, I have withstood the pressure from the ministers and rejected all the opinions to speak for the women of the world."
As she spoke, she took out a book from the table, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Miss Yueyao, you can take a look. I have revised some of the regulations in this "Dayan Marriage Law". Although the revisions are not too many, it is a great improvement for us women in Dayan."
Yue Yao paused, took the book in her hand, turned the pages, and read quietly.
Nangong Huoyue stared at the expression on her face and smiled, "The biggest change is the regulations on wives and concubines. After the change, outstanding men in Da Yan can marry two wives at the same time. At the same time, the status of some concubines has been improved, and private buying and selling and giving away are not allowed..."
Long Er suddenly wondered, "Why did you change it to two wives?"
Nangong Huoyue smiled faintly upon hearing this, but did not answer. Instead, she turned her head and looked at someone behind her and said, "You answer for me."
Luo Qingzhou secretly complained in his heart, but said seriously: "Of course it is for the better development of the family. In any industry, it is not a good thing for one family to become too big. Without threats, they will become arrogant and lazy, and their work will become worse and worse, and their path will become more and more crooked. Anyway, her position is very stable and she has nothing to fear."
"But if there is one more competitor, it will be different. She is afraid that others will do better than her, surpass her, and eliminate her, so she can only continue to do her job well. In this way, what they both do will get better and better, and they will become stronger and stronger."
"The same is true for a family. If there are two wives, the man as the head of the family will naturally be served better, and no one dares to slack off. In this way, the man can serve the country more attentively outside..."
After that, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, is my answer correct?"
Nangong Huoyue said with a smile on her face, "Yes."
"wrong!"
At this time, Long Er suddenly said, "Young Master, what you said is not right at all! How can the affairs at home be compared with those outside? If there are two wives, the family will be in chaos. Every day there will be intrigues and deceptions, and there may even be tragedies."
Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the queen and quietly gave her a thumbs up.
Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "The situation described by this girl is naturally possible. But if it really happens, it is not a bad thing. In this way, men can immediately see their character and divorce them as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles. If they are two wives with good character, they will naturally respect each other, live in harmony and friendship, and bring greater benefits to the family."
Then he smiled and said, "Miss, do you think what I said is right?"
Long Er actually picked up the book from the table and threw it at her, saying angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to bother with you, but I won't let you go! You just ascended the throne, and you're selfishly seeking benefits for yourself by relying on your status as emperor. You're obviously a tyrant!"
“Bang!”
Nangong Huoyue stretched out her hand to catch the book that was flying towards her face. Her eyebrows raised, and a flame mark suddenly lit up between her eyebrows with a "whoosh". Her red skirt fluttered without wind, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
A bright red dot suddenly appeared between Long Er's eyebrows, and her long hair and aqua green skirt fluttered gently behind her.
"Want to fight? I'm not afraid of you!"
Long Er sneered, and suddenly, phantoms of real dragons condensed from dragon energy appeared around him.
This little licker actually asked the young master to serve her in front of her and her sister, and even dared to provoke her sister in person. She couldn't bear it anymore!
Nangong Huoyue stood up suddenly!
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly shouted, "Long'er, stop! Your Majesty, sit down too!"
Having said that, he pressed the Queen's shoulders and forced her to sit down.
Nangong Huoyue glared at him immediately: "Are you helping her or me?"
Of course Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to answer.
He and the Queen were a formally married couple, and she had given everything to him, so he had to help her at all times.
But Long Er is also his, and is devoted to him. He was even helping him practice before he came back, so of course he has to help him too.
so…
He had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, can't you two respect each other and live in harmony and friendship?"
Um
Nangong Huoyue's eyes suddenly stared at him coldly.
"Let's get down to business!"
Luo Qingzhou quickly changed the subject: "We are going to the border for negotiations the day after tomorrow. In addition to us and Senior Bai, are there other people going too?"
Nangong Huoyue stared at him for a moment with a cold gaze, and then said coldly: "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "The Piao Miao Immortal Sect will definitely take advantage of their power to bully us, and bite back, saying that we killed their people, and then ask for more benefits. Even if we bring the most powerful practitioners in the entire Great Yan over there, it probably won't be enough for them. Therefore, we must rely on the power of the other two major immortal sects, at least to make them consider some face in front of the other two major immortal sects, and not be too excessive..."
Nangong Huoyue glanced at the opposite side and said calmly: "The other two major immortal sects will naturally favor them."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course there won't be absolute fairness. But they are known as the three major immortal sects in the Jiuzhou Continent, so they will naturally have some face. When the time comes, we will call more people over, and it would be best if we also call some people from other countries. With more people, they will naturally be concerned about the face and image of the major sect and will not go too far."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and said: "Dean Bai also said so, and he has already notified other countries. However, the final negotiation result still depends on our own efforts. And..."
At this point, she paused, looked at the girl opposite her, and said, "The Piao Miao Immortal Sect came to the border this time not only for negotiations, they also want to capture someone and bring her back, and they have enough reasons to capture her."
The study was quiet for a moment.
The girl, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "I can go back with them."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her calmly and said, "Then I'll go with you."
The girl raised her head and met his gaze, her expression still calm and calm: "You are her husband, why are you with me?"
The Queen also turned her head and looked at him and said, "Yes, you are my husband, why are you with her?"
Luo Qingzhou looked calm and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something very ordinary: "Nothing, I just want to accompany you."
The room was quiet for a moment.
The girl said nothing more.
The Queen suddenly said coldly: "How dare you! How dare you say sweet words to another woman in front of me? Have you told me?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "If Your Majesty is in trouble, I will do the same."
The Queen's eyes were cold: "You and I are husband and wife, what is she to you?"
Long Er suddenly said sarcastically: "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately! Humph, what do husband and wife count for?"
Nangong Huoyue looked at her: "Did I talk to you?"
Long Er responded: "I didn't talk to you either!"
Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "You are just a little demon, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me! If it weren't for Miss Yueyao, I would kill you in a minute!"
Long Er also sneered: "You are just a little licker, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me! If it weren't for my son, I would let you know the difference between a licker and a real dragon in a minute!"
Nangong Huoyue's face suddenly changed, he glared angrily, clenched his fists in his sleeves slowly, and then slowly loosened them.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't have much time left. I need to practice immediately."
Nangong Huoyue was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at him. The anger in her eyes suddenly turned into a trace of uneasiness: "You... on top or below?"
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "Down below."
Nangong Huoyue seemed relieved when she heard this, and whispered: "If you want to be down there, I actually..."
Luo Qingzhou whispered again: "Your Majesty, can Miss Yue Yao come with us?"
Um
Nangong Huoyue was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly clenched his fist in his sleeve, and flames began to burn deep in his orifice.
Luo Qingzhou whispered again: "I know that the spiritual mine underground is very important. Others cannot go down casually, but the situation is critical now. I need Miss Yue Yao to help me perform the exercises and use the heart of the spiritual mine to practice..."
At this point, he asked in his tone, "Your Majesty, if possible, I hope you can be flexible this time. If Your Majesty is afraid of something happening, you can watch from below yourself or have Yuewu watch."
Nangong Huoyue was stunned for a few seconds, the fist in his sleeve slowly loosened, and the fire in his eyes gradually dissipated.
There was another moment of silence.
She said calmly: "You know that even the ancestors of your Lingxiao Sect are not qualified to enter the underground."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I know."
After a pause, he continued, "If it really doesn't work, I'd better go in alone. I'll ask Miss Yue Yao later to see if I can practice that method myself."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said calmly, "I haven't finished what I want to say. You are my husband. Since it is for your cultivation, I can naturally be reluctant and make an exception once. However, you have to promise me two things."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Next time, you are not allowed to use lightning in my cave."
Luo Qingzhou immediately said: "I obey your command!"
Nangong Huoyue glanced at him and said seriously, "When we go to the border the day after tomorrow, you must not act stubbornly and must obey my orders. You must do whatever I tell you to do."
Luo Qingzhou fell silent.
Nangong Huoyue stared at him and waited silently for a while. Seeing that he still didn't answer, she suddenly laughed at herself and sighed softly: "It seems that I and the child in my belly are not as good as a woman outside."
