Empress work daily

Chapter 123
The vast night covers everything, and what you see is nothing but nothingness.

Shang Liujia learned of Ji Qiang's intentions at a glance, and asked quietly, "Why don't you go to the Hall of Compassion first? Shengjun is an old man who likes to go to bed late, and he should have just finished Buddhist rituals."

Hearing what Shang Liujia said, Ji Qiang thought about it for a while, and decided to go and see it for herself. Anyway, she couldn't sleep, so where should she go?
Shang Liujia repeatedly said: "What Your Majesty said is that if you go there, you are walking, why don't you go there yourself, if the Holy King has rested, we will come back."

Ji Qiang no longer hesitated.

Inside the Hall of Mercy, the lights were brightly lit.

The courtyard door was just as wide open as when she came last time.

Wu Nian squatted on the side of the yard, clattering and pulling something, Ji Qiang approached and found that it was a new mountain tea planted this year.Wu Nian told Ji Qiang that the wild tea was only picked yesterday, and she should hurry up to dry it while the weather is good.

Just a few words in a soft voice startled the people in the palace.

Shang Xuan's appearance and clothes were the same as before, and even his standing posture and expression seemed to be the same as before. For some reason, Ji Qiang felt a faint sense of tension the moment he saw him.

"Your Majesty, you are here, please come in."

Shang Jian's invitation method is also the same as before.

Ji Qiang nodded slightly, but said nothing.

In the hall, Shang Xuan had just finished the Buddhist ceremony and was about to go to bed.The simple toiletries came into view, and Ji Qiang repeatedly harassed her, while Shang Xuan gave her a hasty look, with a smile reaching his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I don't sleep much. I only need to sleep for two or three hours a day. That's enough."

"What a coincidence, I am the same."

After finishing speaking, Ji Qiang immediately regretted that she shouldn't have said these things to Shang Xuan.

Shang Xuan saw the awkwardness in her heart, turned around and took out a bamboo tube from the cabinet.

She has seen this bamboo tube before, and remembers that once before Shang Xuan "intercepted" him at the Bajiao Pavilion, this bamboo tube was in his hand, and it was filled with tea, yes!He wanted to give her tea at that time.

Shang Xuan told Ji Qiang that the scented tea in the bamboo tube has the effect of sleeping.

He held the bamboo tube in both hands, bent slightly, and offered tea to her again.This time, Ji Qiang took it without hesitation and thanked him.

"The tea I drank at your place last time was strong and sweet. What kind of tea is it?"

She still called him you, but to Shang Yao's comfort, she stopped teasing him and called him a mage.

Shang Xuan immediately told Ji Qiang that it was Fenghuang Dancong tea, and opened the tea box for Ji Qiang to have a look. It had not been brewed yet, but the tea smelled delicious.

Seeing that she liked it, Shang Xuan took another can of unopened cans from the cabinet and handed it to Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang accepted it silently, without refusing at all.

"Although this tea is strong and sweet, it has a refreshing effect. It is best not to drink it at night, Your Majesty, but to drink calming tea."

Ji Qiang replied with the word "um" softly, with a very peaceful appearance, and there was a vague obedience all over his body, not like before, he loathed him, hated him, and every time he saw him, he just wanted to stay away.

Just that, Shang Xuan felt that it was enough.

"Your Majesty is different from my minister. He has just reached the age of Ji and is still growing." Shang Xuan emphasized again.

Speaking of Ji Qiang's height, he couldn't help but think of how she looked when he first met half a year ago, she was a full finger shorter than now.

It was said that Ji Qiang was no longer "obedient", and she didn't want to continue talking about such topics with Shang Xuan.

"I have put all the money into my private treasury, and I will pay off all the debts that should be paid today."

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Shang Xuan, just held the teacup and drank it with her head down.

Shang Xuan's breathing was slightly stagnant, and there was an imperceptible smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is right." He said in a firm voice, "The money belongs to His Majesty, so it will naturally go into His Majesty's private treasury."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven does not have to take care of the courtiers in everything. The courtiers are born to assist the Son of Heaven, and to convey the will of the Son of Heaven to the people. opposite……"

Just like that, Ji Qiang looked at Shang Xuan who was talking eloquently, his tone was so impassioned and his views were so sharp and compelling, just like her father and king back then.

Ji Qiang gradually lost his mind, and felt ridiculous afterwards.She actually saw the shadow of her father in Shang Xiang.

Shang Xuan had already stopped, and he also knew that Ji Qiang was not looking at him when he was looking at him.

A panic surged in his heart, and he quietly concealed it.

"Your Majesty forgives me for being wild."

"No, what you said is very reasonable, and I think so too."

The two of them fell into silence together, and the air was so embarrassing that Ji Qiang offered to leave.

Shang Xuan immediately got up to see him off, and when he left the courtyard, he suddenly said seriously: "I believe that Your Majesty will make good use of this money, so that the people who let it come will eventually return to the people."

Hearing this, Ji Qiang was shocked.

Father Wang also said the same thing back then. He said that the essence of the dynasty is to return the people's money to the people in a better way.

After my father finished speaking, he added another sentence, but throughout the ages, there have been very few emperors who have achieved this.

He asked her if she could do it in the future, and she, who was only seven years old, shouted, I will definitely do it... As a result, her country died.

The immature and frivolous youth has passed, and she, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life in the world, has long realized that what her father said back then was clearly an encouragement, but actually a warning. Throughout the ages, there are really very few emperors who can use the wealth of the people well.

But Shang Xuan was sure that she could.

It's still in the situation of her such a huge fortune.

"I hope I will do what you say."

"It's getting late, you'd better go back and rest."

Ji Qiang looked around and found that he had already reached the Yingying Terrace, and if he sent it down, he would arrive at the Yangyuan Hall.

Shang Xuan clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute indifferently, and turned to leave.

Sensing that Ji Qiang and his party had gone far away, he quietly turned around again, staring quietly at the increasingly blurred figure until she disappeared.

……

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Ji Qiang slept until the sun was up for the first time.When the green clothes waited to change clothes, they quietly reported that outside the Yangyuan Hall, the courtiers had already gathered together.

what's the situation?
Ji Qiang walked out of the inner room, looked out through the window from a distance, and finally understood the meaning of "a piece" in Lvyi's mouth.

Outside the hall, the cubs are full of heads, not just one piece.

"Why don't you wake me up?"

Lu Yi lowered her head and replied softly, "I have pushed you twice, each time you just turned over and fell asleep again."

Ji Qiang: "..."

Absolutely nothing!

She has always had a short sleep, so why can't she wake up?

The green dress was blushing, and when she buttoned it, her fingers trembled slightly, she was no longer as smooth as before, and "flowers" could be turned out when buttoning the buttons.

This kind of green clothes is rare, Ji Qiang suddenly made a fool of himself.

"How old is Sister Luyi?"

Lvyi was stunned.

The big eyes were dull, and the curled eyelashes did not move. Seeing her dumbfounded look, Ji Qiang walked out of the inner room happily.

Before she entered the East Palace, she had been calling Lvyi her elder sister, but she hadn't called her for a few years, but now she spoke so suddenly that she scared the other party.

Luyi wasn't frightened, she just couldn't believe it, thinking that she had auditory hallucinations in her ears.

Moreover, the trembling of hands just now was not for other reasons, it was just because His Majesty was in a good mood, and his gestures and gestures were as delicate as when he was a child. She was excited for a while, so her movements were not as flexible as before.

Lvyi, who chased him away, wanted to answer Ji Qiang's question in a serious manner, but suddenly found that the man had returned to his calm and prestige, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
