Xu Yan looked at the ministers in the audience with a headache, and deeply felt that his status had not changed since he became the empress. Everyone in the audience should still argue and fight, and did not take her seriously at all.

Seeing that they were about to rise from a verbal battle to a physical conflict, Xu Yan quickly spoke out and said, "Hey hey, what can't be said clearly? Is it still a fight? How old are you, and you are still fighting in the court. If you say it, will you be laughed at by the people of our Xu Country?"

Xu Yan's words are always very useful when persuading fights. After so many years, she has already summarized the psychology of these ministers. They were so proud of their face that the atmosphere was set at that point. It seemed that they were not enough to show their firm attitude towards the matter. When Xu Yan first figured it out, she really wanted to give up and quit, it depends on what result they could achieve. But she still couldn't overcome the hurdle called responsibility in her heart.

Seeing that the war between the two people below the stage gradually faded, Xu Yan sighed and said, "Look, take a step back, the vast sky is not so unreasonable now. Look at the other party, the more anxious you are, the more you shouldn't be anxious, otherwise it will hurt your kindness? Come on, let's put this matter aside and say something else to change your mind."

Xu Yan never expected that her words would cause unnecessary trouble for herself. The ministers below exchanged glances silently. If Xu Yan was among them at this moment, they would definitely see the successful smile in their eyes.

The Minister of Rites, who had just had the most trouble, bowed forward and said to Xu Yan: "I am worthy of Xu in my life, but at this age, I feel that I have no face to go downstairs to meet the Empress." As he said that, he actually covered his face and cried.

Xu Yan suddenly felt bad. The old man was always very slick, and he always pretended to be extremely aggrieved. He would always show his qualifications and talk about his contribution to Xu Guo. Besides, an old minister like him had no face to see Xu Qing. At first, Xu Yan would feel moved and began to blame herself. Later, she felt that the old man was used to using his sympathy to achieve his goals.

Xu Yan sighed inwardly and said, "Mingqing, don't say such despicable words again, it will ruin yourself in vain. Tell me, what's wrong?"

The Minister of Rites pretended to wipe away the tears that did not exist at the corner of his eyes and said to Xu Yan: "The Empress was married for fifteen years, and she had His Highness when she was sixteen years old. Now, Your Majesty, you... Old Master, I feel that you have not taken good care of Your Majesty!" At this point, all the ministers knelt down, and this mighty formation scared Xu Yan.

Before Xu Yan could say anything, he heard the Minister of Rites crying in the hall: "Your Majesty is now eighteen years old, and the harem is empty! Even the fiance that the Empress had always wanted to make for His Majesty during her lifetime was gone. I am incompetent and cannot share the worries of Your Majesty in political affairs. I have let Your Majesty wait for so many years for nothing! Our future crown prince of Xu... Alas, please punish Your Majesty!"

As he finished speaking, the ministers behind him knelt down with his actions, which made Xu Yan very helpless. Isn’t this just forcing a marriage? Isn’t it just forcing her to give her a speech? She really wanted to give them a bunch of memorials and let them take a closer look at what trivial matters they presented to her every day. She had to deal with so many things every day, so how could she have time to go to the harem?

Seeing Xu Yan about to speak, the Minister of Rites quickly continued: "Please open the harem this year and hold a talent show!"

"Please open the harem with your majesty!" The neat voices of the ministers sounded again, and they forced Xu Yan back to say something. Xu Yan said weakly: "Isn't this Gu still young, only eighteen. Now Gu is still thinking about pushing Xu Kingdom to a new height, and now he will inevitably be distracted when getting married."

The Minister of Rites slapped his forehead and showed a look of regret for Xu Yan and said, "Your Majesty! You are not young anymore! When the Empress was as old as you, she already had the second prince. Didn't it delay the development of Xu's country? You don't have any long-lasting descendants yet, and this problem is the foundation for Xu's development!"

Xu Yan also understood that she was a little too much. The talent show has not been put down since she ascended the throne. It is mentioned almost every other year, and of course this time is quite fixed. Every year, the spring exam is over, and it is a good time for the ministers to prepare for her to give her a talent show.

Now, as soon as this year's spring exam ended, they were thinking about giving themselves a talent show. Perhaps they were attracted by the top scholar from the Minister of Works this year?

At the beginning, Xu Yan could use Xu Guojian to excuse them, but at this time, they had already figured out Xu Yan's routine. Moreover, Xu Yan himself knew that this level this year was quite sad.

But the person in her heart... Xu Yan smiled bitterly and did not make a sound immediately. Her fingers bent slightly and knocked on the dragon chaise. The hall was silent at this moment, and only her tapping sound echoed in the hall regularly. They all knew Xu Yan's habit of knocking things after thinking about it, and they immediately understood that Xu Yan was putting this matter in his heart. Maybe this matter is really a possibility of success this year!

Xu Yan said "huh", which made the ministers waiting below feel anxious. Her eyes quickly swept across the ministers kneeling below, and suddenly lit: "Peng Yue, come out and tell me what you think?"

The ministers' sharp eyes immediately projected towards Peng Yue with a "swish" swish. Peng Yue walked out calmly without any panic. She met Xu Yan's expectant gaze, without any expression on her face, and replied respectfully: "I think that Your Majesty should indeed conduct a talent show as the ministers said, and open the harem."

Xu Yan sighed, and she didn't see any of the glances she secretly cast to her. She also helped those ministers talk. Oh my God, come and save her! Alas, by the way!

Xu Yan cleared his throat and said to Peng Yue standing in the audience: "Well... I will consider my opinion of my dear. But I still want to hear different opinions. Lu Huai, tell me, what do you think about this?"

Lu Huai walked out with a smile on his face, looked at Xu Yan's twitching eyes, and replied slowly: "I think Your Majesty is really young. The matter of the talent show depends on Your Majesty's wishes, and it should not be too hasty." He ignored the hints that the ministers around him cast to him, and his eyes were clear and stared at Xu Yan alone.

Xu Yan burst into tears when she heard Lu Huai's words. She knew! Lu Huai was Yun Qi's brother, so how could he not help him? Xu Yan thought silently in her heart that after the matter was over, she would definitely promote Lu Huai! With such awareness, how could she just stay in the position of a bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy?

But it is absolutely impossible for Lu Huai to support him alone. After hearing Lu Huai's words, the ministers started talking nonsense. The scene was no less than the downtown area.

Xu Yan knew in her heart that she might never wait for that person. Over the years, he only told her about peace, but never mentioned his traces. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, is he really still there? Will she continue to wait like this hopelessly, and will she really have any consequences for him?

Once you have the idea of ​​doubt, it will sprout and grow in your heart irresistibly until you overcome your original cognition.
