Chapter 389 Lotus Tower 48
Since getting married, Ling Xi has had a new understanding of how rogue Li Xiangyi is.

He would pester her endlessly every night, and Ling Xi felt sore in her back and waist every day.

For this reason, Ling Xi Ling Xi gave Li Xiangyi a new nickname: beast.

However, these shameless days only lasted for half a year.

Half a year after their marriage, Ling Xi brought Li Xiangyi back to the capital.

The court began to prepare for her succession ceremony.

All the officials in the court were familiar with Ling Xi. After all, every time Ling Xi came back, she would stand in the court and let all the ministers in the court get to know her, Princess Zhaoming.

Over time, after ten years, those who had stayed in the court all remembered her clearly.

After all, she had tortured them a lot, and those painful memories must be deeply engraved in their minds.

However, they also remember the various policies proposed by Ling Xi that benefited the country and the people, as well as the various new things she researched.

Although many ministers criticized her identity as a woman, they still acknowledged her talent. Therefore, when the emperor proposed to abdicate the throne to Princess Zhaoming, except for a small number of people, most of the court officials kept their mouths shut like quails and did not say a word.

The ministers hurriedly shook their heads: We dare not object, we dare not object. If we speak out our objection, all their mistakes will be exposed by the female evil star tomorrow.

Overall, the transition to the throne was peaceful and smooth, without any unexpected incidents.

Finally, one day in May of the following year, it was a sunny day and Ling Xi succeeded to the throne, becoming the first female emperor in the history of Daxi.

The reign title was changed to Zhaoming, and he was known in history as Emperor Zhaoming.

When Ling Xi succeeded to the throne, Li Xiangyi naturally became the Emperor, but some people also called him the Emperor's Husband.

Because his name and appearance were not concealed, everyone who had seen Li Xiangyi recognized him.

It was only at this time that people realized that the famous medical genius in the world was actually their current empress, Zhao Lingxi.

There are many policies that Ling Xi had already promulgated several years ago, and now all he needs to do is continue to implement them.

Of course, the first policy Ling Xi issued after ascending the throne was to reduce taxes and increase special examinations.

Originally, according to old rules, the first thing an emperor would do upon ascending the throne was to grant amnesty to the entire nation to demonstrate his benevolence. However, Ling Xi was unwilling to release those evildoers from prison to continue harming others. Therefore, instead of letting those evildoers go, it would be better to benefit the people.

When the ministers in the court heard this, they said, "Hey, this is a good idea, let's do it."

It is worth mentioning that this time, Ling Xi announced that women can also participate in the imperial examination and will be admitted equally with men.

This incident caused an uproar in the court. The conservative old-fashioned people wanted to bang their heads against the wall in the hall to stop the implementation of this decree.

But who is Ling Xi? He is a rebellious person, how could he be threatened by them?

After dealing with nearly a dozen officials, the opposition in the court finally disappeared.

In the first imperial examination for women, not many women participated, only a few hundred.

Compared to the number of men, it is insignificant.

But Ling Xi was already satisfied with this number.

Nowadays, the imperial court and the underworld coexist. Because the underworld only considers strength, regardless of gender, the world's oppression of women is not as harsh as before.

But from ancient times to the present, some inherent prejudices are not so easy to dispel.

Women in the martial arts world are free and easy, but women in the boudoir are still bound by various rules, and men still look down on women.

The decree announced by Ling Xi gave them another way out.

It is gratifying that in this imperial examination, nearly one-third of the women made the list, and one of them even surpassed many men and ranked third.

This person was also Ling Xi's right-hand man and the first female prime minister in Daxi's history. According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Zhaoming, he emphasized agriculture and sericulture, nurtured life, exempted taxes, revised laws, allowed women to take the imperial examinations and participate in politics, and promoted talent.

Emperor Zhaoming had friendly and harmonious relations with the two great leaders of the underworld at that time, one of whom was his husband and the other his best friend.

At that time, the world was peaceful, the government was clean, the people were prosperous, the elderly had someone to rely on, and the young were well taken care of. It was a rare prosperous time and also the most prosperous time of the Daxi Dynasty. Later historical books called it the Zhaoming Prosperous Era.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

The Imperial Palace in Beijing.

"Zhao Tingyue! Li Weixi!"

A roar came from Chaoyang Palace, carrying with it tremendous rage. The roar was accompanied by internal strength and spread far away.

When the palace servants passing by heard this voice, their faces were calm without a trace of surprise, and it was obvious that they were already used to it.

In Chaoyang Palace, Li Xiangyi was jumping up and down like crazy with righteousness, pacing around in the hall, and his body was almost on fire.

Ling Xi, dressed in a plain green dress, was sitting on the dragon throne, with her head down dealing with the memorials on the table. She didn't care at all about Li Xiangyi's anxiety and anger.

Li Xiangyi walked around the hall for several times. Finally, he was still unable to calm down, so he walked straight to Ling Xi and sat down.

All the resentment in his body turned into reality, and even though Ling Xi didn't care, he was still infected to some extent.

She raised her eyes and looked at the person sitting next to her. Time seemed to have no effect on him. Even after ten years, he was still the same as he was back then, a young man just starting out and full of vigor and vitality. It was just that the recklessness of those years had become more gentle under the polishing of time.

However, the look on his face, which clearly wanted to get closer to her but was arrogantly waiting for her to come to him, and then secretly glanced at her from time to time, did not change at all.

In the end, it was Li Xiangyi who was defeated first.

He came close to Ling Xi, looking extremely aggrieved with his wrinkled face.

"Ah Xi, you have to teach those two troublemakers a lesson for me. You don't know that they actually poured out the wine I buried underground. I have buried those two bottles of wine for three years, just waiting to dig them out next year. By then, we were going to drink together in two months. Who would have known that they would be completely destroyed by those two debt collectors?"

Li Xiangyi now felt that he should not have let Axi get pregnant so early. Not only did Axi suffer a lot during childbirth, but now she came to collect debts from them.

Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi's two children are seven and five years old.

The seven-year-old brother is Zhao Tingyue and the five-year-old sister is Li Weixi.

In addition, they have two nicknames, one is Li Lianpeng and the other is Li Lianzi. These names were given by their father Li Lianhua, Li Xiangyi.

Children of this age are hated by everyone, and Zhao Tingyue and Li Weixi are no exception. They run around in the palace all day, making trouble and making trouble for others.

It just so happens that they are both very sweet-talkers and good at coaxing people, and they coax everyone around them into doing well.

Except for Ling Xi, no one else is afraid.

What they love to do most is to cause trouble for their dad all day long.

Listening to Li Xiangyi's complaint, Ling Xi smiled.

She leaned forward and placed a kiss on Li Xiangyi's lips.

"Are you still angry?" Ling Xi asked with a smile.

Li Xiangyi stared blankly at Ling Xi's smiling eyes, which were brighter than the stars, and then there was no further words.

"Still a little angry. I want another kiss."

After saying that, Li Xiangyi leaned forward and planted a passionate kiss on Ling Xi's lips, completely lingering.

Li Xiangyi thought that as long as Ah Xi smiled at her, he would not want anything else.

The sunlight from outside the door came in and fell on the couple in the house, full of affection, tenderness and love.
