Work overtime

Chapter 717

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai for a while and laughed, "I am the emperor. My rules are the rules."

Having said that, Jiang Yuebai took the mahogany box and said "OK" obediently.

He took the opportunity to kiss Jiang Yuebai on the forehead and said with a smile, "How could they know that the truth is that the father was killed and the son was kept. I am a sickly beautiful man who can only survive by relying on the mercy of the imperial concubine. Without the imperial concubine, I can't survive a day."

Jiang Yuebai was amused by Li Beichen, her face flushed, and she sneered, "A sickly pretty boy."

"Are you not yandere enough or not handsome enough?" Li Beichen pinched her chin and held her hand in his, so gentle that it made people sink into it.

Are you trying to get me to lend you my life span by using my beauty as a trick?

Jiang Yuebai's ears felt so hot that they were about to burn. She glanced at him speechlessly without saying anything. She was surprised to find that Li Beichen's hand had started to warm up a little. "Your hand?"

Li Beichen happily held Jiang Yuebai's hand and felt that the blush on her cheeks was quite beautiful.

"It's not that cold anymore. I can hold you in my arms while sleeping at night, without worrying about freezing you. Why are you blushing?"

Jiang Yuebai let Li Beichen rub her hands and ignored him. Suddenly, she thought of a good idea.

"Why don't you bring Yu Cairen and Murong Xianshi to live in Wutongju. That way, if anything happens to them later, it will have nothing to do with me. Anyway, the weather is getting colder, and they will probably die soon. It's easy to find a reason, just say that you care about the safety of the royal heir and want to protect them."

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai from the side.

It was evening, and the sky was full of rosy clouds. Soon the ministers would come to discuss matters.

Her delicate and soft facial features are illuminated by the sunset glow, giving her a breathtaking beauty.

Li Beichen's heart was beating like thunder, and his love was surging. "You don't have to go anywhere, just live in Wutong Pavilion. Don't worry, I will help you take care of this matter."

The two of them looked at each other intently, then looked away in an instant.

Li Beichen's face instantly turned red, and he had only one feeling in his heart, "It's over, I've fallen in love with her."

But haven't I fallen in love with her a long time ago?

The hands of the two people intertwined were coated with a layer of golden red. He couldn't help but hold them up and kissed them on his lips, "Jiaojiao, I love you."

As it gets dark early in the day, when the officials from the State Council arrived, it was already completely dark.

After dinner, I would report my work to the emperor without any excuse of being hungry or in a bad mood.

The emperor still let Concubine Ning sit beside him and take notes, and woke him up from his sleep from time to time, just like before. It was as if he had never received those memorials impeaching the concubine.

The biggest difference between today and the past was that Li Beichen announced that he would attend a morning court session the next day and asked them to go back and notify them now.

They were already shocked to hear the news. This meant they couldn't sleep tonight. Tomorrow the emperor would ask them to report in detail on their work for the past month, including their progress, achievements and deficiencies, and propose improvement measures.

Then, Li Beichen said that he wanted to make Xie Zhili his successor, and asked the people in the Executive Yuan to think about tomorrow's proposal and give him some exaggeration and support.

The Imperial Concubine was right there, and the Emperor actually said that he wanted to make Concubine Xie the new Empress. Everyone was shocked and sweating.

So the previous rumor that the emperor had already appointed the imperial concubine as the next empress was false?
Isn't the emperor afraid that the pregnant concubine will get emotional when hearing this and something might happen?
They secretly glanced at Concubine Ning who was recording, and saw that she looked indifferent, as if she had no reaction. She was neither particularly shocked nor particularly disappointed.

Jiang Yuebai would be lying if she said she wasn't shocked. But she worked in human affairs in her previous life. She had seen many cases where superiors always seemed to want to promote someone, but ended up promoting someone else.

Such a situation often indicates that the person being promoted either has a very strong background or has extraordinary interpersonal skills.

If you are not sure you can find a better job after resigning, it is best to accept the other person's "excellence" calmly and improve yourself in multiple dimensions.

A fight to the bitter end often results in losses for both sides, and it is also not conducive to finding a job after leaving. Many companies require letters of recommendation from previous employers after leaving. Civil service exams also require opinions and democratic evaluations from previous employers. Convenient for others is also convenient for yourself. Even if you are going to resign, leave some room and space for both parties.

The best solution is to play dumb and pretend not to notice the "unfairness" in it. Do your job as always, always be grateful for the leader's "cultivation", improve your business capabilities, and continue to express your desire to "make progress" to your leader.

When you encounter a colleague who is trying to sow discord, you should praise your leader, the person who has been promoted, and play dumb and ignorant. Gold will always shine, and if you are strong enough, you can become your own backer. Don't deceive yourself. If you don't have high emotional intelligence, you must take more emotional intelligence classes and reflect more. If you want to resign, don't resign on impulse. Make sure you find a new job before you resign.

Li Beichen was very satisfied with Jiang Yuebai's calmness.

After the ministers left, Li Beichen accompanied Jiang Yuebai for supper. Jiang Yuebai now eats small meals frequently. Li Beichen can only drink medicine because he can't eat yet, and he just watches the eating show.

Li Beichen rolled an egg with an embroidery needle on his body every day, just like when he was undergoing nucleic acid testing. The state of the egg white showed that the poison in his body had been completely eliminated. His body temperature had risen, and it was no longer as cold as before, but it was still on the cool side.

Mr. Yuan said that this was because the poison had been in the body for too long, and the insect had entered the meridians and damaged the vital energy. But at this time, the body was weak and could not be supplemented. It could only be slowly adjusted to strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy.

The early autumn night breeze blew, and a strand of hair brushed across Jiang Yuebai's lowered eyes. Her face was calm and gentle.

Li Beichen looked at her quietly, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he had something to say and questions to ask. But in the end, he said nothing and let the moonlight shine on them.

The person in front of him was the person he had been longing for for fourteen years.

Before Jiang Yuebai entered the palace, he had seen her portrait. He had stroked her eyebrows and her thin lips countless times. According to the painter, every time he saw her, she smiled faintly like this.

He reached out and lifted the strand of hair that had fallen beside Jiang Yuebai's ear, tucked it behind her ear, stood up, and said softly, "I'll play a song 'The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix' for you."

The coolness of his fingertips brushed across her cheek, and she felt it burning hot.

Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes and said "OK", but then she said coquettishly, "I'm hungry. I'd like to eat some golden jade soup first. Your Majesty, don't mind, right?"

Li Beichen couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not. I'll play it after you finish eating."

The two of them tacitly did not mention the matter of establishing a queen.

At this time, no matter how curious or angry you are, don't ask the leader why he said that. This is not the final result, it's just a statement. If the situation has been determined, there is no need to question the leader. Let the leader reuse you in normal times.

The sound of the piano of "Feng Qiu Huang" sounded, soothing and melancholy. It is said that this piece of music was composed by Sima Xiangru for Zhuo Wenjun, so it is full of affection.

After the song was over, both of them had thoughts surging in their minds, but they both lowered their eyes.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly said, "Perhaps you and I are both chess pieces, and the author is not the chess player. Many times, when writing, we may deviate from the author's original idea."

Li Beichen smiled, "Then who do you think is the chess player?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "I don't know either. Maybe it's some mysterious power. Or maybe there are many chess players. They use mortals as their sons and are called 'gods'."

Li Beichen, "Since we are chess pieces, we should do what we should do. Or maybe we are also chess players, and our true destiny is always in our own hands. Others, including the author, are just spectators."

With a light stroke of his hand, the guqin produced a series of rich notes.

Jiang Yuebai smiled clearly, "So what the emperor meant is that the chess player is actually also the chess piece. The chess piece is also the chess player."

If it weren't for the unequal relationship between the empress and the emperor, they could really be soulmates. She couldn't think of many people who could chat with her on this level, from her past life to this life.

Li Beichen smiled and sighed, "I'm just guessing. Anyway, I don't want to succumb to the arrangement of fate. Sitting in this position, I have the responsibility of this position. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Jiang Yuebai stood up while holding her stomach, looked at him and said with a smile, "How about I play it instead?"

This smile was so bright and beautiful that Li Beichen was a little surprised and immediately responded, "Okay."

Jiang Yuebai's protruding belly blocked the front, which was a bit inconvenient, but she still danced as smoothly as flowing water, which was intoxicating.

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai, who was concentrating on playing the piano with his head down, his eyes were unusually gentle.

He sighed in his heart, how wonderful it would be if time could always be like this.
