I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

After the war, everyone counted the casualties.

The Great Xia Dynasty sent a total of 200,000 naval troops, but the remains of 160,000 naval troops were buried in the deep sea, and as many as 500 treasure ships were damaged. The losses were not minor.

The Great Yan Dynasty suffered the most serious losses, and the 400,000 navy army they had finally cultivated was wiped out. There are also 300,000 land infantry, all of which are also included. The total loss was a staggering 700,000.

Such a loss of troops is an unbearable burden for a dynasty.

As for other forces, the losses are naturally not small.

After spending such a huge price, no one got the keel.

However, everyone still did not give up looking for the keel, and still sent troops and horses to pursue it tirelessly.

Among them, Emperor Dayan ignored the objections of his ministers and sent an additional 300,000 troops.

The Emperor of Daxia also sent an additional 100,000 naval troops.

But after that day, the dragon bone never appeared again.

It's as if you just come to the world for a visit and go back when you've had enough fun.

Lin Beifan pretended to be nice for a few days, and then went back on the grounds that he was busy with official duties.

Dawu Dynastysuperior.

Lin Beifan apologized with a look of shame on his face:"Your Majesty, this time I went to the shores of the East China Sea to retrieve the dragon bones, but due to the fierce competition, I finally returned without success. I betrayed your Majesty's trust. Please forgive me!"

Empress! With a very calm face, he said with a smile:"Aiqing, I don't blame you! The dragon bone is a divine object, protected by heaven and earth, and is not available to ordinary people! Although you didn't get the dragon bone, Aiqing, others didn't get it either, so it's no wonder. It's on your head!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan burst into tears of gratitude.

"Moreover, as far as I know, there were millions of people competing at that time. In addition to soldiers and horses from Great Yan and Great Xia, there were also forces from all sides. The competition was fierce and the casualties were huge!"

"For example, Great Yan, who has been causing trouble with us recently, actually lost 700,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, and his vitality was severely damaged! And Daxia lost 150,000 navy troops!"

"My dear, if you can reduce the losses of our court in such a situation, or even make no losses at all, that’s already pretty good! I am very pleased that my beloved is indeed the pillar of the country!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, I am so ashamed! Lin Beifan was horrified.

The empress said loudly:"General Zhao, General Lin... come forward and listen to the seal!""

The 18 generals whose names were called all stood up happily:"I am here!"

"During this trip to the East China Sea, you obeyed the Prime Minister's orders and caused huge casualties and losses to Great Yan and Great Xia. I am very pleased! Therefore, reward……"

The empress threw out a round of luxurious rewards.

These 18 generals were so happy that they worked with the marshal, and as expected they had meat to eat!

Try to catch up next time!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Do your job well and I won’t treat you badly! The empress smiled happily:"As for Lin Aiqing, I won't reward you!" You have everything now. If you are missing anything, just tell me and I will arrange it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan said loudly.

Next, Lin Beifan resumed the nine-to-five life of the prime minister. He went to the morning court in the morning, and after the morning court, he stayed in the political hall of the palace to help the empress review memorials and handle state affairs. He stayed to have dinner with the empress at noon. , I went to deal with the affairs of the government office and the Imperial College in the afternoon, which was very regular.

As for the evening, hehe, needless to say.

And Lin Beifan found that during these days, the little princess became more clingy than before.

When she was in the palace She would often show up to accompany him on state affairs.

When he returned home from work for the day, she would often show up to eat, drink and chat together.

At night, she would often stay overnight in the Lin Mansion.

There was already a small room for her in the Lin Mansion. Lin Beifan reminded

:"Little princess, you are still a young girl waiting to be married, how is it inappropriate to often stay at other people's houses at night? Remember to go home at night, otherwise others will gossip about you!

The little princess who was eating meat blurted out:"I'm going to move here sooner or later anyway, so why should I care what others say?"

Lin Beifan:"Huh?" ? ? Only then did the little princess react, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she immediately covered her face with her hands:"Ah!" Why did you say what was on your mind? You guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look!"

Then, he threw off his two short legs and slipped away.

Lin Beifan:"……"

Everyone laughed.

Li Shishi covered his mouth and smiled and said:"Ms. sir, it seems that the little princess has a deep love for you! One of you is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the most favored little princess in the dynasty. You are of the same age and are of the same family! Although the little princess is a bit naughty, But being sincere and considerate makes her a good wife! My husband, you might as well marry her in!"

"Yes, the little princess is very easy to get along with, and she has a good relationship with us! Mo Rushuang smiled and said:"Instead of letting other women take over the Lin Mansion, it is better to let the little princess come. We are all very welcome!""

The two women know deeply that their status is far from worthy of Lin Beifan. It's okay to be a concubine, but to be a real wife, even if Lin Beifan is willing, the entire court and the entire Dawu are not willing, and they will be gossiped about by others. Yes, rumors are stronger than tigers.

It is even very likely to affect Lin Beifan's career.

Lin Beifan's identity is destined not to be messed with.

Lin Beifan grabbed the hands of the two women and said with a bitter smile:"Let nature take its course. In fact, you are enough. Got it! To be honest, I can’t make the decision on my own marriage!"

"ah? Why?"The two women were stunned.

"This is an order from His Majesty, saying that my marriage is a matter of great importance to the country and has far-reaching influence, so the candidate must be chosen carefully and no random decisions are allowed! Now I can only take concubines, not wives!"

The two women were once again confused. How could such a thing happen?

Their husband-in-law is not a relative of the emperor, so he cannot make the decision on his own in matters of marriage?

"My husband, when can you get married?"Master Li asked

"His Majesty said, wait until she thinks about it before talking!"

Mo Rushuang and Master Li:"Ah?" Lin

Beifan couldn't help but sigh, and said sadly:"I have paid too much for Dawu!""

On this day, the little princess slipped into the palace again, and cautiously poked her head and tail in the imperial study. It was very cute.

This scene made the empress laugh, and she waved her hand and said:"Little Yunying, come here!"

The little princess ran over and hesitated for a while:"Sister Empress, are you still busy now? The empress shook her head and smiled:"It turns out there is indeed something, but no matter how big it is, it can't compare to Yunying's matter!" Little Yunying, what do you want to see me for? The little princess said hesitantly:"It's not a big deal, it's mainly... it's mainly about Lin Beifan!"

The empress' heart moved:"Him?" What happened to him? Did he make you angry?"

"That's not true!"The little princess said gloomily:"These days, I want to play with Lin Beifan and cultivate some feelings... But Lin Beifan is always a little lukewarm, and the relationship has not made any progress! Sister Empress, what should I do? Is there something I didn’t do well?"

"It turns out that this is the case, our little cloud warbler is also troubled!"The empress burst out laughing.

"Sister Empress, don’t laugh at me, I am very serious!"The little princess is so ashamed

"Little Yunying, you are actually very good in all aspects. You are cute and naive. Although you are sometimes naughty, you are also very understanding at critical times. Many men like girls like you!"

"But Lin Beifan still ignored me! Sister Empress, what should I do?"The little princess humbly asked for advice.

The empress instantly transformed into an emotional mentor and said with blazing eyes:"Little Yunying, you have no problem. The problem lies with Lin Beifan. Lin Beifan is completely different from other men! Although he looks serious on the surface, he is actually full of bad intentions, and he doesn't even know when he has tricked others to death!"

"Sister Empress is right, he is a bad person!"The little princess seemed to have thought of something fun and giggled.

"Therefore, when dealing with such a man, never play tricks or tricks, because you can't beat him! If you take the initiative and go straight to get him, are you still afraid of losing his heart?"

The little princess was shocked, what kind of words are these!

I didn't expect the empress sister to be such a person, she is so fierce!

"Sister Empress, is this not good?"The little princess said shyly.

The empress said disapprovingly:"What's wrong? You're going to marry him sooner or later anyway, what's wrong with taking the initiative? With me as your backer, what are you afraid of?

The little princess was obviously a little moved:"Is this really feasible?""

"Sure!"The empress smiled coldly, that's what the Xianyue goblin did, and succeeded many times.

The little princess made a great determination:"Okay, then I'll go back and give it a try! Thank you, Empress Sister, I’ll leave first!"

Then she trotted away with a brisk pace.

The empress looked at the little princess's leaving figure and showed a happy smile:"Little Yunying, I can only help you.Here we are!"

At this time, a white figure appeared on the beam.

Bai Guanyin said nervously:"Your Majesty, you can actually take the initiative! The person who gets him is still afraid of losing his heart?

The empress was so ashamed that she stammered:"Sister Bai, don't talk nonsense!" I...how could I do such a thing? Bai

Guanyin shook his head and teased:"Your Majesty, you teach others how to do one thing after another, but when it's your turn, you become shy instead. This is not like you normally!""

The empress's face was red, and she was extremely beautiful.

She lowered her head and pretended to be serious and said:"Sister Bai, I still have state affairs to be busy with, so I won't talk to you so much!"

Bai Guanyin shook her head, and her figure gradually disappeared.

The empress breathed out secretly, and she was sweating.

The moment just now put too much pressure on her, and she felt like she was being urged to get married by the elders in the family. foot.
