Chapter 266: Love and uniform, quelling the chaos in the harem and court
Li Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and gently pinched Yang Xiaoyan's cheek:
"Xiaoyan, don't worry. In this small world, no matter how strong Shangguan Wan'er is, it's just a matter of my thoughts."
After saying that, a strange light faintly appeared around Li Tian. That was the power fluctuation that dominated the small world.
Li Tian's thoughts turned, and an invisible message was transmitted to Shangguan Wan'er, ordering her to come to the palace for an audience immediately.
In just a moment, Shangguan Wan'er hurried over.
The moment she entered the bedroom, she noticed the strange atmosphere, but she remained calm and bowed politely:
"Your Majesty has returned. I am extremely happy. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me so late at night?"
Li Tian did not respond immediately, but stared at her with a sharp gaze. The aura around him gradually rose, causing Shangguan Wan'er's heart to tighten.
After a long while, Li Tian said coldly: "Wan'er, do you admit your guilt?"
Shangguan Wan'er was startled, but her years of power allowed her to calm down quickly and she pretended to be innocent:
"Your Majesty, why do you say that? I have worked diligently and wholeheartedly for the Great Hua Empire. I don't know what crime I have committed."
Li Tian snorted coldly: "In the court, you act arbitrarily and completely ignore the opinions of the ministers; in the harem, you are arrogant and punish the concubines at will. Do you know who is in charge of the Dahua Empire?"
Shangguan Wan'er's face changed slightly, but she still tried to defend herself:
"Your Majesty, everything I have done is for the prosperity of the empire. Some decision-makers are short-sighted and difficult to understand, and I am helpless. As for the affairs of the harem, it is just normal discipline to correct the palace rules."
A trace of anger flashed in Li Tian's eyes. He raised his hand and waved it. A powerful force knocked Shangguan Wan'er several feet away, and she hit the wall and fell heavily.
"You still dare to quibble!" Li Tian shouted angrily, "Do you think you can do whatever you want with your power? Today I will let you know that the rules of this small world are set by me!"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Tian in horror. Only at this moment did she truly feel that the man in front of her was the real master of this small world.
She struggled to get up and knelt down to beg for mercy:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will abide by my duty in the future and will not make the same mistake again."
Li Tian looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, but he did not feel the slightest bit of happiness in his heart.
He knew very well that simply punishing Shangguan Wan'er would not fundamentally solve the hidden dangers in the court and the harem.
He pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"Wan'er, considering your past contributions, I will forgive you this time. But from today on, you will resign from the position of Prime Minister, and you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem. You can take care of yourself."
Shangguan Wan'er was filled with regret, but she could only accept the order, thank the emperor, and retreat in disgrace.
Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's departing back, Li Tian turned to look at Yang Xiaoyan, his eyes showing a mixture of determination and tenderness:
"Xiaoyan, I will definitely reorganize the court and the harem, put the Dahua Empire back on track, and protect our home."
Yang Xiaoyan nodded gently, her eyes full of trust and love:
"I believe in you, Li Tian. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Li Tian looked at Yang Xiaoyan, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to her appearance in professional attire.
At that time, Yang Xiaoyan was wearing a slim black professional suit and black stockings. Every step she took exuded confidence and elegance, which instantly attracted Li Tian's attention.
"Xiaoyan, do you still remember the black business suit you wore when we first met?"
Li Tian gently held Yang Xiaoyan's hand, his eyes full of nostalgia.
Yang Xiaoyan was slightly startled, then her cheeks flushed, and she said softly:
"It's been so long, how come you still remember it?"
"How could I not remember you back then? You were so intelligent and charming, I was attracted to you at first sight."
Li Tian smiled, his eyes full of tenderness, and gently scratched Yang Xiaoyan's nose:
"Not only do I remember it, I often think about it. I was so fascinated by that outfit that I thought I must keep you by my side."
Yang Xiaoyan smiled sweetly and patted Li Tian's hand, pretending to be angry:
"You are so sweet-talking. I don't know how many girls you have deceived."
Upon hearing this, Li Tian hurriedly hugged Yang Xiaoyan tighter and pretended to bite her ear:
"Heaven and earth can bear witness. You are the only one in my heart in this life. If this is false, I will be struck by lightning."
Yang Xiaoyan was amused by his exaggerated appearance and laughed. She poked his chest with her finger:
"Alright, alright, I know you. My harem is full, but since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly trust you this time."
Li Tian took her hand and kissed the back of her hand gently, with a wicked smile on his face:
"Then the Queen must reward me well. After all, my heart beats for you."
Yang Xiaoyan's cheeks flushed, and she spat softly: "You are just a smooth talker, so what reward do you want?"
Li Tian's eyes turned, and he deliberately leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Why don't you put on that professional suit again, so that I can relive the excitement I had at the beginning."
Yang Xiaoyan was embarrassed and annoyed, so she pushed him away:
"You only know how to think about these things. You are the king of a country, but you are still like a child."
Li Tian was relentless and put his arms around her waist: "In front of you, I will always be the boy who is attracted to you, okay?"
Yang Xiaoyan couldn't persuade him, so she just nodded.
"I really can't do anything to you, just this once."
When Li Tian heard this, he kissed her on the face excitedly:
"The Queen is the best. I knew you wouldn't reject me."
Under Li Tian's expectant gaze, Yang Xiaoyan walked into the inner room with a blushing face.
After a while, the familiar footsteps were heard, and Li Tian quickly sat up straight, full of anticipation.
Yang Xiaoyan walked out with light steps, still wearing the same slim black professional suit, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her legs wrapped in black stockings were straight and slender.
Li Tian stared at her intently, and in a trance he returned to the day when they first met.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
Yang Xiaoyan was a little shy and her voice unconsciously lowered a few notes.
Li Tian quickly stepped forward, held Yang Xiaoyan's hand, and praised sincerely:
"Xiaoyan, you are still the same as before, so beautiful that my heart is moved."
As he spoke, he gently put his arms around her waist and kissed Yang Xiaoyan on the forehead.
Yang Xiaoyan blushed and said lightly:
"It will make me happy."
Having said that, Yang Xiaoyan's eyes were full of sweetness.
Li Tian gently hugged Yang Xiaoyan, and they slowly walked to the bed.
Li Tian considerately lifted the bed curtain for Yang Xiaoyan and helped her sit down slowly.
Yang Xiaoyan looked up at him shyly. The flickering candlelight illuminated her blushing cheeks, making her look even more gentle.
Li Tian sat down beside her, gently placed her head on his shoulder, and gently combed her hair with his fingers.
"You've worked hard these days, dealing with all the complicated affairs in the palace by yourself, and having to endure Shangguan Wan'er's anger."
Li Tian whispered softly, his voice full of tenderness, "
Yang Xiaoyan shook her head slightly, leaned in Li Tian's arms, and felt his warmth:
"As long as you come back safely, everything will be worth it. Besides, I know you will handle these things well."
Li Tian sighed softly:
"I will restore peace to the court and the harem, and will never let you suffer any injustice again."
The two smiled at each other, then lay down in the warm bed together.
