I saw Ye Qingluan lightly applying powder, and her delicate face exuded a special kind of luster. Between her eyebrows and eyes, she showed the proud posture of a bride. She was wearing a golden and red silk middle coat and a thousand-petal chrysanthemum pattern dress, and she appeared gorgeously. In front of everyone.
Her complexion is obviously much better, and she is full of heroic spirit. The heroic and stunning Gale Queen is back again.
"Qingluan!" Li Yi quickly stepped down from the dragon chair and hurriedly greeted him.
Cao Qingyan kowtowed and said, "Old slave, I pay my respects to the Queen. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Since he completely submitted to Li Yi, whether facing Li Yi or Queen Ye Qingluan, he calls himself an old slave and has a very low profile.
Although he has a notorious reputation and kills people like crazy, he can only stop his children from crying, but it is a rare repayment of kindness.
Without Li Yi, Cao Qingyan would not be where he is today.
"Qingluan, it's so late. If you don't have a good rest, don't forget that you are still injured?" Li Yi looked reproachful, but his tone was full of love.
Ye Qingluan's heart felt warm, and he showed off his young woman's attitude, "Your Majesty, I am fine. Don't forget that I am a martial artist, and my body has long been restored to its original state."
"Besides, I really can't sleep without His Majesty's company. I just accidentally heard His Majesty talking to Master Cao. I hope Your Majesty won't blame him."
Li Yi scratched her nose lovingly, "It's okay. You just said you had a solution. Let's hear it."
"To tell you the truth, I am now urgently ill and have sought medical treatment. In the Gale Dynasty, my reputation has long been infamous. Scholars all over the world even sneer at me. Alas, it is difficult to handle!"
Ye Qingluan shook his head, "Your Majesty, don't say that. Your Majesty is so powerful that all the scholars in the world will return sooner or later. There is only one person who can help your Majesty right now."
"who?"
Ye Qingluan blurted out: "Guozijian Academy, Chief An."
Old Man An!
But then Li Yi's eyes dimmed, "It's not like I haven't been to the Imperial College before, but Old Man An deliberately avoided me. He obviously doesn't want to help me. If I go there again, I'm afraid it will be useless."
"Old man An has an eccentric personality and a hot temper, so he is naturally difficult to deal with. But I heard that the president of Mansion An has an only daughter. Although she is a daughter, she has the skills of a great scholar in the world. If your majesty can take her into the palace, An Mansion will not worry about it. If you don’t serve your Majesty forever, I will die.”
But after listening to Ye Qingluan's words, Li Yi's face turned the color of pig liver and he was extremely embarrassed.
What kind of wife is this? Why do you take the initiative to help your husband get a concubine? This... this is so cool, right?
Old Li Yi's face turned red from suppressing it, and he was panicking. He shook his head and said, "I have enough with you. The matter of accepting a concubine needs to be considered in the long term."
But Ye Qingluan couldn't tolerate Li Yi's refusal, "I have the courage to make the decision regarding the concubine. It is my duty to enrich the harem and contribute to the royal family. Could it be that Your Majesty wants the people of the world to accuse me behind my back?" Is it jealousy?"
After saying this, she suddenly turned around and covered her face, sobbing softly.
Li Yi suddenly felt helpless, but still refused sternly, determined not to accept the concubine.
In fact, it's not that Li Yi doesn't want to accept a concubine. Nowadays, he is walking on thin ice due to external and internal troubles. How can he be in the mood to think about such a thing?
His tone was solemn, "I, the mighty Emperor of the Wind, do not need such despicable tricks to serve a great scholar of the world!"
Ye Qingluan suddenly looked at Cao Qingyan and winked secretly. Cao Qingyan nodded knowingly, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The reputation of Miss An is not inferior to that of her father at all, and is even better." And, even a great scholar once commented that it is a pity to be born a daughter, otherwise I would be the prime minister and rule the world!"
"Yes, I have also read Miss An's article. It is absolutely beautiful. How could such a talented woman who is rare in ancient and modern times fall into another family?" Ye Qingluan also added a sentence.
Seeing that Li Yi was still determined, Ye Qingluan continued: "This woman has a great reputation in the Imperial Academy. Many students, hermits, scholars, and capable people are vying to make friends with her. If she can speak for your majesty, Your Majesty, are you still worried that there is no one available?"
Cao Qingyan also answered, "What the Empress said is absolutely true. This old slave has also heard that this woman is known by the world as the number one female gentleman in ancient and modern times. Many martial arts masters come here because of her name and are willing to condescend to be her bodyguard."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, but the emperor would use such despicable methods, how shameful!
What an embarrassment to the thousands of time traveler brothers!
Ye Qingluan said softly: "Your Majesty, please consider my concubine's reputation, and I will retire first."
Li Yi nodded and did not stop him. At this moment, Cao Qingyan on the side suddenly showed an expression that every man would understand, "Your Majesty, you are really blessed."
"What?" Li Yi looked confused.
"Your Majesty, don't you know? Miss An is the tenth on the Red Sleeves list. Not only is she profound in knowledge, but her appearance is also peerless. She has the appearance of overwhelming a country and a city, and she is shy of the beauty of the moon."
Li Yi was really ignorant now. In his memory, there was no Red Sleeve List at all. "What Red Sleeve List?"
Cao Qingyan showed a strange expression and his eyes were very suspicious. Are there any men in the world who know about the Red Sleeve List? Seeing that Li Yi really didn't know, he explained.
It turns out that the Red Sleeves List is a list established by experts in the world after listing the most amazing women in the world and then selecting them one by one to get the top ten. And the women who can be on the list are all the best women in the world.
"How many are there in total?" Li Yi asked.
"Ten."
What?
When Li Yi heard this, he thought the world was crazy, right?
Miss An, who is already a perfect woman, is only ranked tenth, first from the bottom?
Compared with the star models of later generations, Miss An can be easily crushed in terms of temperament and appearance, but she is ranked at the bottom?
How perfect must the first few be? Could it be that fairies descended to earth?
And Cao Qingyan seemed to be able to read minds, and actually understood Li Yi's inner surprise, "Your Majesty, the nine people in front of me, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are fairies descended to earth."
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "What a red sleeve list. One day, I will definitely see all the women on the list. By the way, where is the queen?"
At this time, it was Cao Qingyan's turn to be embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is a woman from a well-known family. How can she be included in the list? Plus the mother of the country, whoever dares to blaspheme the mother of the country and who dares to be ranked in front of the queen will risk their lives." Yet?"
Li Yi also nodded repeatedly and said correctly, "Who is the ninth one and who is the eighth one?"
Cao Qingyan shook his head, "Your Majesty will know about it later, but I heard that the ninth on the Red Sleeve List is a brothel girl, in the capital."
Li Yi asked, "Does anyone know him?"
Cao Qingyan shook his head again, "How can these fairy-like peerless women easily show their true colors to others? Most of them only have names, and no one has ever seen their real faces."
Li Yi took a deep breath and swore to himself that he must gather all the red sleeves list in my harem!
"I'm going tomorrow. I want to see how beautiful the number 10 in the red sleeves list is!"
"No, I will make arrangements right now."
Li Yi suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen a woman in the Imperial Academy. Although he couldn't see her appearance clearly, her figure was definitely one of a kind.
I wonder what the gap is between the two compared to Miss An, who is ranked tenth on the Red Sleeves list?
Unknowingly, the curiosity in his heart made him feel itchy, and finally said seriously: "Since this girl is so amazing, I must bring her into the harem for my use!"
Suddenly, he raised his head with a strange smile on his face, "Cao Aiqing, remember, if Miss An doesn't obey tomorrow, you will snatch her from me and take her into the palace!"
Cao Qingyan's mouth opened wide with a look of surprise on his face, and he didn't react for a long time.
Li Yi smiled charmingly, "If I want to cook the rice, I'm not afraid that Old Man An won't be loyal to me!"
Cao Qingyan almost knelt down. He had served three generations of emperors, and this was the first time he met such a rogue emperor as Li Yi, but let alone, he was really a little excited.
It would be really interesting if word spread about robbing civilian girls today.
Hahaha……
at the same time.
In the prison of Shuntian Mansion.
The night wind howled, which was particularly scary.
The reason why Shuntian Mansion was chosen was Li Yi's decision. The internal prison was too strict, wouldn't it scare away the fish?
How to fish?
Wei Chu, the commander of the criminal soldiers, was imprisoned here. He was hung on a shelf after being beaten to death, and his whole body was just breathing.
This is Li Yi's bait.
At midnight, the prison door opened, and a man wearing a bamboo hat and black clothes stepped in quickly.
Wei Chu heard the noise and raised his head with difficulty. When he saw the person coming, his eyes could not hide the fear.
"Ma Chen, Master Ma, you...why are you here? Are you here to save me?"
