Empress work daily

Chapter 154 Brother and Sister
In the stormy night sky, a thunder suddenly exploded, followed by a bright lightning. At that moment, the earth seemed to be day, and Chu Lingxiao's shocked expression was clearly reflected.

Ji Li finally put his heart in his stomach, and said that such a shocking "thunder", the boy would not be indifferent.

"Why?" Chu Lingxiao asked.

Ji Li automatically ignored his son's foolishness, and patiently explained to him, "Your Majesty has already reached the age of Ji, and the Ministry of Rites proposed the matter of choosing a husband in accordance with the rules. I still remember that the first emperor also started choosing a husband at this age until King Xia Entering the palace, the selection of husbands that lasted for three years ended."

"In short, this is a big matter, and no one in the DPRK will treat it carelessly."

"Of course, it's just a proposal now."

"Why did mother tell me this?"

"What do you think?"

The mother and son stood in a stalemate for a few moments, and suddenly the wind blew up in the dull air, bringing a hint of coolness faintly.Ji Li held his son's hand silently, patted the back of his hand and said, "Mother wants to push you to the position of husband king, are you willing?"

Although Chu Lingxiao had vaguely guessed what his mother meant, but the other party said it so solemnly, and his tone was so firm, it still confused Chu Lingxiao in shock.

Ji Li was very confident and almost assured him, "If you want, your father and I will do our best to help you fight for it. Your father is the Marquis of Zhennan who made great achievements in your ancestors, and your mother is the princess of Daliang. You and Your Majesty are even more If you have blood relatives, Daliang will not be able to find a second person who can pass you by just based on your birth."

"What's more, since our mother and son came to Beijing, how much have we helped His Majesty? Hengyang forced the palace, and we helped His Majesty with all our strength. You went north to fight Beirong, and you were wounded all over your body. In order to help Your Majesty raise money, my mother even offered her dowry list Go up. Both public and private, you are the most outstanding and outstanding one among the candidates for husband and king."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Chu Lingxiao didn't dare to raise his head when he asked this question.

Ji Li answered him honestly, "Your Majesty has no intention of choosing a husband for the time being."

"Since that's the case, why should mother worry?"

"Mother is not in a hurry. Others are in a hurry. With fair competition, mother naturally has to plan ahead."

"I have always regarded Your Majesty as my own sister, not what my mother said, so..."

The wind is more urgent, and people who blow it can't open their eyes.

Ji Li pulled Chu Lingxiao anxiously, and wanted to go to the main hall, but Chu Lingxiao broke free unknowingly, but saw him hastily bowed to his mother and returned to his courtyard.

The back fell in Ji Li's eyes, and she almost ran away.

The female officer took two steps forward and urged repeatedly, "Princess, the heavy rain is coming, you should go back to your room first, the county king is thin-skinned, you have to let him get used to it. Maybe after one night, tomorrow he will regret it."

Ji Li sighed in her heart, even the female officer could see her son's true intentions, how could she, as a mother, not know?

It's really funny to think about it, Baba'er asked a lot of questions, and finally expressed his attitude, saying that he regards His Majesty as his own sister, since that's the case, why didn't he say it at the beginning?
The heavy rain came as soon as it was said, and the master and servant hadn't reached the main room when they saw big raindrops "slapping" to the ground. The panicked female officer hurriedly took off her coat and put it on Ji Li's head, and the master and servant hurriedly quickened their pace... …

……

After a while, the bean-sized raindrops merged into rainlines, thick and urgent, hitting the ground, the eaves, and Chu Lingxiao's heart.

The night was vast and the rain was falling so fast, so if you counted the time, even if His Majesty galloped all the way without any delay, he would at most go as far as the vicinity of the imperial city, and maybe he would not even arrive at the National Teacher's Mansion.

Looking at the dense rain, he suddenly had the urge to rush out.

Compared with his mother's disturbing words, Chu Lingxiao felt that the torrential rain in front of him was more disturbing.

Last time, His Majesty went to Beiying to visit him and the soldiers, and it was still so dark when he left.

He did not insist on escorting, causing His Majesty to fall off his horse and hurt his foot.If he hadn't met the national teacher in time, the consequences would have been serious.

This time, it was the same situation again... Why didn't he insist on sending them off?

He always remembers the emperor's order like a mountain, but regrets every time he obeys the emperor's order.

At this time, Chu Lingxiao seemed to have a drum hidden in his heart, and he couldn't live in peace when it was beating so loudly.

Suddenly, he slammed open the door of the study, and before the boy could react in time, he rushed out of the rain curtain...

Chu Lingxiao's calculations were correct, Ji Qiang hadn't arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion yet, and the heavy rain had already arrived.

The horse was frightened and roared lowly. Ji Qiang flicked his whip immediately and sped up the speed.Shang Liujia seemed to be shouting something behind her, but she didn't have the time to pay attention at all right now.

She is not afraid of thunder, let alone rain.The reason for the horrified reaction in Princess Yan's Mansion was because she remembered that in her previous life, the first point where the Dajiang Canal burst its embankment seemed to be on such a day.

At that time, Ji Yu was busy expanding the harem, so he didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the court. The memorials were piled up like a mountain, especially those presented by the local government. Even if there was a thick layer of dust, no one cared about them.

On such a night of thunderstorms, she saw the rush from Jingzhou in the imperial study, and within two days, the news that the Dajiang Canal broke its embankment for the first time spread throughout the country.

In fact, Jingzhou Mu had sent the book a few days ago, and it was absurd that Ji Yu was the last to know.

Although Qin Sangluo has repaired all the points where the embankment broke in the previous life, Ji Qiang still can't guarantee whether it can withstand the continuous heavy rain one after another.Now it was just the beginning, and she was already flustered.

She didn't know whether the Dajiang Canal could withstand it, or whether the epidemic would spread in the ensuing heavy rain. At this moment, Ji Qiang wished to spread her wings and fly to the south of the Yangtze River to see the situation there with her own eyes.

It's really helpless to think about it, during the three years of being a wandering soul, no matter what earth-shattering and heart-wrenching things she encountered, she could only watch, not do.

Now she has become a real body of flesh and blood. Even if she can command thousands of troops, she cannot go to the front of the battle to watch how her loyal ministers and famous generals fight against the enemy.

The rain curtain is more urgent, wrapped in evil wind, intertwined with wind and rain, making it hard to keep your eyes open.The horse neighed louder, and after a few breaths, it refused to run any more.

Seeing the obstinate man in front of him being forced to stop, Shang Liujia secretly thanked the reasonable horse.

"Your Majesty, the National Teacher's Mansion is ahead, let's take shelter from the rain, how about returning to the palace after the rain stops?"

Shang Liujia dismounted, ran to Ji Qiang, and proposed to her.

"No need."

Ji Qiang simply denied it.

Suddenly there was a figure in front of her. She didn't know when the national teacher arrived, and she didn't even know when the door of the national teacher's mansion opened.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Jian, who was holding an umbrella, said urgently, "Your Majesty, please take shelter in the minister's mansion."

"I……"

Jiang Jian didn't allow her to refuse, bowed to salute, and said "please".

Several boys came to lead the horse, and Shang Liujia happily handed over the horse to them.Looking back at Huang Chang, who was not good at riding and had been chasing hard all the way, he was in a mess.

Ji Qiang no longer hesitated, thanked Jiang Jian, and followed him into the National Teacher's Mansion.
