In the palace where ambergris was lit, Emperor Yong, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was still approving the paper. Li Fuhai stepped forward to make the candle brighter.
He advised with distress: "Your Majesty, it's getting dark today, you should take care of your eyes."
Xiao Beichen was unmoved and continued to review the memorial, "How can we delay state affairs? The lights in this room are as bright as day and they won't hurt my eyes."
He raised his head and glanced at Li Fuhai, "Father-in-law, please go back and rest first. You don't have to accompany me."
"How can that be done?" Li Fuhai said hurriedly. "Although this old slave is old, he is still in a free state and can still serve His Majesty."
Xiao Beichen did not insist and changed the topic, "It's really strange that Xiao Yutang didn't come to me to ask for credit as soon as possible when he returned to Beijing today."
Li Fuhai smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Gong must be tired after a long journey. I heard that all the major sects in the world participated in this draft. I think His Highness Prince Gong must have put in a lot of effort."
The battle for the draft was so big a while ago, so naturally Xiao Beichen also heard about it, "He did really well this time and lived up to my trust."
Although his uncle, the emperor, is usually idle and does not do serious work, he still knows the importance of things.
This draft is related to the stability of Sheji and Dayong, so he doesn't dare to mess around.
After approving the memorial, Xiao Beichen put down his pen and stretched his muscles.
Li Fuhai winked at the little eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.
The little eunuch immediately came forward with a plate and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to turn over the cards."
Xiao Beichen glanced at the tray. He only had two concubines in his harem now. He really didn't know what to look for.
After looking at the tray for a while, Xiao Beichen turned over the Jia Fei brand.
Every time I go to Jia Fei's place, I close my eyes and open them again, and the night passes. The sleeping effect is better than the soothing incense.
Xiao Beichen had to get up at five o'clock in the morning to prepare to go to court, so he needed such high-quality sleep.

Early on the next morning, the game server opening time had not yet arrived. After Xie Lanyi got up, she went for a walk around the inn.
After the candidates enter Kyoto, they can no longer move around at will and can only stay in the inn. After the personal selection is over, those who are not selected can go back to their homes.
The one chosen will naturally become the concubine, and will only be able to stay in the inner courtyard of the palace from now on.
The players have not yet gone online at this time, and although the post house is full of people, it is very quiet.
When Xie Lanyi was wandering in the small garden, an exotic boy with blond hair and blue eyes caught up with him.
"Master, please wait a moment."
Xie Lanyi looked back and saw him, her eyebrows raised slightly. Isn't this the person who spied on him yesterday?
He asked doubtfully: "You are?"
Ayi's Central Plains Mandarin was not very fluent and he was not very proficient and said: "I am Ashina Ayi, the second prince of Qiuci Kingdom."
"It turns out he is the prince of Kucha Kingdom."
Xie Lanyi bowed slightly and said, "I wonder what your Highness wants to see me for?"
Ayi's cheeks were rosy. The man from Dayong was really gentle, even his voice was so gentle, which was very different from their men from the Western Regions.
No wonder Emperor Dayong liked men.
"Um, sir, you are the showman of this draft, right?"
Although Xie Lanyi was the first to call him Xiu Nan, it was really strange for him to be called that by others in his turn.
He calmly changed his title, "I am indeed a candidate for the draft."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Ayi couldn't help but feel pity for this handsome and gentle young man again.
He took out a brocade bag that he had prepared a long time ago and stuffed it into Xie Lanyi's hand, "I want to ask the young master to do me a favor."
The brocade bag in her hand was heavy. Xie Lanyi felt it and found that it was probably filled with gems.
The people from the Western Regions took action, just a bag of gems, even more arrogant than their Qiongyu Tower.
Xie Lanyi weighed the brocade bag, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid His Highness the Prince is too busy to help me with such an expensive gift of thanks."
Seeing that he wanted to accept it, Ayi's eyes lit up, "Young Master can definitely help me. To be honest, it has been almost seven days since I arrived in Dayong, but His Majesty refused to summon me. I would like to ask Young Master to help me." Let me mention it to Your Majesty."
No wonder the little prince came to him, it turned out to be his idea.
Xie Lanyi chuckled lightly, "I am just a candidate. I may not stay in the palace, let alone talk to His Majesty. Your Highness has found the wrong person."
Hearing what he said, Ayi suddenly became excited, "Master, don't think you are weak, you are so good-looking, the emperor will definitely fall in love with you."
This little prince probably wanted to belittle himself.
Xie Lanyi chuckled, and for the sake of the little prince's good looks and cuteness, she gave him a clear path.
He put the gems back into Ayi's hand and said, "Your Highness, the Prince, is begging me. Why don't you go to His Highness Prince Gong? You don't need to bring these gems with you when you go, just bring more delicious food."
Ayi blinked, His Highness Prince Gong, is he the prince who came back with the draft team yesterday?
I heard that he was the emperor's biological uncle, so it might be more reliable to find him than to find someone who has not yet become a concubine.
However, the young master did not let him give gems, but asked him to give delicious food.
It's really strange that some people prefer food to gems.
After Xie Lanyi finished talking to him, he said goodbye and left. Ayi was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered what called him, "Sir, I don't know your name yet?"
Xie Lanyi turned sideways and cupped her hand slightly, "Don't listen to the wind."
Ayi recited it in his mouth silently. The name of the Central Plains people was a bit difficult to pronounce for him, but he felt that the name Mo Tingfeng was very nice and suitable for this gentle and elegant young man.
The attendant looked at the red face and shining eyes and couldn't help but feel worried.
It is said that there are many broken sleeves in the Central Plains and masculinity is prevalent. Their little prince must not be infected.
