After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 8

It was night, and Liu Piaopiao was lying on the bed without any sleepiness.

The moonlight is like water, gently covering the entire floor.The atmosphere is really too quiet, except for the sound of my own even breathing, there are only a few wisps of spring breeze passing by from time to time outside the window.

The windows are not closed tightly, and from time to time you can smell the quiet fragrance of flowers mixed with the new grass.The fragrant smell makes people more sober.

Liu Piaopiao simply put on his clothes and came to the garden, the scene of dinner is still vivid in his memory.Liu Yufu's gloating, Liu Wenlan's calmness.And Liu Yirong's indifference.

Why don't you care? As a courtier's own daughter, she should be very frightened when she says something wrong.Although Liu Yirong's reaction was a little shocked, he didn't look worried at all, as if he knew that Lu Ji would not care about this matter.Although this touches against the scales of the royal family, he doesn't care.Are you so confident in your status that you lose the cautiousness of your courtiers?

And Lu Ji's reaction was exactly as he thought, although there was a warning, he didn't care too much.

Liu Piaopiao still couldn't let go, because Lu Ji never let go of his hand after that.

He was very irritable, maybe he didn't care about it to reassure Liu Yirong.If you don't need Liu Yirong's support now, then Liu Piaopiao's remarks today are enough to push the Liu family to the forefront.

In all fairness, Liu Piaopiao does not want the Liu family to repeat the same mistakes and be expelled from the edge of power.She is the daughter of the Liu family, even if she is a concubine.Only when Liu Yirong's position is stable, can she have a backer in the future.

Should she take the initiative to show her favor to Lu Ji?But thinking about it carefully, her daughter's family is not in court, so her overtures are of no benefit to Lu Ji.It's not possible to leave her a good future alone when the time comes to dislike the Liu family, right?No matter how you think about it, Lu Ji is not a person who makes trouble for himself.

Unknowingly, I have reached the rockery, and the moon is hanging high, like a piece of cake.

Liu Piaopiao stretched out her hand to gesture, oh, it's really round.

What was she doing last Mid-Autumn Festival?

She wrote a letter to Liu Yirong. At that time, Zhou Wenqing detested her and put her under house arrest in the courtyard.The lung disease is serious, and the cough always brings blood streaks.

The letter was written with sincerity, Liu Piaopiao's tears smeared a lot of ink on the letter paper.

"Father, the child wants to go home."

Did not receive a reply, Liu Piaopiao waited for a long time but did not expect someone to pick her up.

The moon was so round and bright when I saw it in the yard that day, but now I look at it again without any emotion.If you have to say it, Liu Piaopiao only hopes that she will not wrong herself every day in the future.

She climbed to the rockery, grinning her teeth due to the pain.I found a flat place and finished it. I looked down and saw a man standing on the back of the rockery.With his hair hanging down, he stood leisurely by the pond.Holding a bamboo pole, he didn't catch a single fish for a long time.

Liu Piaopiao yawned watching it, who is so elegant and went fishing in the middle of the night.

She swayed her calf and kicked the rocks.The man turned his back to her, and after hearing some noises, he didn't suspect it was a ghost fox.Liu Piaopiao watched the man adjust his posture and swing the bamboo pole farther.

"Liu Piaopiao, you scared my fish away."

The voice was so familiar, Liu Piaopiao suddenly remembered who it was.She slipped and almost fell off the rockery, but fortunately she held the stone tightly and made some effort in her buttocks to finally sit up.Then he said with a guilty conscience: "Did the courtier scare His Highness's fish away?"

Lu Ji glanced slightly sideways, and Liu Piaopiao looked at him timidly.

"Don't be so reserved, just call me."

Liu Piaopiao blurted out the courtier's daughter, and after a moment of embarrassment, changed her words: "I see."

"Why isn't your highness still asleep?"

"Didn't you sleep either?"

Lu Ji's side face was as flawless as jade.The corners of the lips were slightly hooked, which really confused Liu Piaopiao's mind.She was a little uneasy, so she asked, "Did I make His Highness unhappy?"

"No, just accept the bed."

Liu Piaopiao still felt that he was unhappy, not because of herself.That is the old father who is proud of her power, look at this is the person who makes His Royal Highness unable to sleep.To some extent, courtiers made Lu Ji much more uncomfortable sleeping and eating than beauties.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Liu Piaopiao thought for a while, and answered seriously: "I eat too much, and I feel overwhelmed."

Lu Ji recalled Liu Piaopiao's way of sitting at the end of dinner without anyone noticing, stuffing food into his mouth one after another, just like a mouse.

It's up to her to hold on.

Lu Ji didn't speak, and Liu Piaopiao didn't dare to speak, so the atmosphere fell silent.Liu Piaopiao couldn't help regretting that she should stay in her room and come out for nothing.

But she didn't dare to leave, and she accompanied Lu Ji standing here, sitting on the hard rock all the time.My butt hurts from sitting, and I can't help shaking from left to right.

Lu Ji asked her suddenly: "How do you think the flood in Yizhou should be dealt with?"

Can this be said?
Liu Piaopiao didn't know whether to speak, but Lu Ji was not in a hurry.He fished leisurely, and waited for Liu Piaopiao to speak by the way.

After a while, Liu Piaopiao slipped down from the rockery.

She came to Lu Ji's side and half knelt in a supporter's gesture.Claiming to be a minister's daughter again, she placed her identity at a lower level.

"The minister thinks that the flood in Yizhou should be handled by Yizhou officials themselves."

"The imperial court allocated a sum of money, but there was no result at all. The courtiers think that it is not that there is no way to deal with the flood, but that some people give and receive privately, and the country is in trouble. Therefore, Yizhou needs a major change of blood. If officials from other places are not enough Familiar with the local conditions is also easy to be squeezed out by the gentry. Therefore, the candidates are still selected from Yizhou, and the officials who fail to achieve results are eliminated, and the imperial court collects the plan for flood control. There will always be talents available in Yizhou.”

Lu Ji put down his fishing rod, and Liu Piaopiao stood up in good time, anxiously waiting for Lu Ji's comment.But the other party just looked at her, making her hairy.

"Great idea."

Finally came to a conclusion, Liu Piaopiao let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's good to help His Highness."

"I'll let Chang Qing handle this matter. What if the local officials don't obey their orders?"

Why throw the question to yourself again?
"Your Majesty, who dares to disobey?"

Liu Piaopiao flattered her, and Lu Ji really laughed.He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to pinch Liu Piaopiao's face, but he retracted it halfway.

"The whole world is occupied by aristocratic families, and Yizhou in the south is the territory of the Song family. If they are removed from their official positions at will, I am afraid that the impeachment of the crown prince will cover up the dragon case of your majesty."

This Liu Piaopiao did not expect that in his previous life, after Lu Ji ascended the throne, he almost dealt with the aristocratic family with thunderous tricks.Therefore, Liu Piaopiao subconsciously ignored the matter of the aristocratic family.Thinking about it now, I also find it extremely tricky, so I looked at Lu Ji with some expectation: "Then, Your Highness, how should we deal with it?"

The face in front of him was so cute that Lu Ji had the urge to blow his head off, but he still held back the itching of his hands.

"What you said later is advisable. No matter how presumptuous the aristocratic family is, this edict will know that it should be restrained. Naturally, people will be introduced to deal with the flood."

Liu Piaopiao nodded: "That's good."

She believed in Lu Ji, and when he ascended the throne in the future, he would settle the matter one by one without any shackles.

With nothing to worry about, Lu Ji should be able to sleep now.Liu Piaopiao became more courageous, and leaned forward and asked, "Is Your Highness able to sleep now?"

Lu Ji shook his head: "Accept the bed."

He looked at Liu Piaopiao, the girl's childish face was so cute, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, and her eyes were fixed on him.

"You have done Gu a great favor, do you want anything?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes became brighter.She turned around in embarrassment, and finally pulled the corner of her mouth.

"I like everything His Highness rewards."

Lu Ji really thought about what girls like, jewelry or rouge and gouache, or is it something he wants to buy?

Liu Piaopiao is a concubine's daughter, and she is definitely not as good as a concubine's daughter in terms of daily food and clothing, and the monthly salary is probably pitifully low.The things rewarded by the royal family cannot be sold at will, even if they are given to Liu Piaopiao, they will not be of much help.Lu Ji touched himself, and finally he didn't have anything.

He pulled out a gold coin.

For a moment, Lu Ji felt that Liu Piaopiao's sight was completely occupied by this gold.Standing next to Jin Jin, she became a decoration, if she hadn't coughed in time to bring back Liu Piaopiao's thoughts, she might have forgotten Lu Ji long ago.

Liu Piaopiao turned her hands upwards, her eyes bent into crescents.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Ji was in a good mood, and his tone softened.He didn't notice at all that he was seeking Liu Piaopiao's opinion, and he hoped for an affirmative answer in a seductive way.

"Tomorrow Liu Yufu will follow me into the palace, do you want to go find some fun together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to go."

Liu Piaopiao knew very well that entering the palace with her knowledge and character would only lead to disaster.After getting the gold, Liu Piaopiao just wanted to settle down that shop as soon as possible. Rather than collude with the rich and powerful, she still prefers to do some small business by herself to achieve wealth and freedom.

Liu Piaopiao didn't want to go to Lu Ji and couldn't force it, but she was a little disappointed, and she didn't know why. In the final analysis, it might be because she didn't want to deal with the so-called big marriage.

The moonlight is so beautiful, but the person who was last month is not in a good mood.

Looking at Liu Piaopiao's carefree face, Lu Ji thought inappropriately, who would Liu Piaopiao marry in the future.

Probably the main wife of a small official, who gave birth to a son and a half daughter.Respecting each other like a guest, raising cases and raising eyebrows in his life, he will never be tossed and turned in intrigues like him. People don't think of people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts.

"What is your Highness worried about?"

Facing Liu Piaopiao's suspicious eyes, Lu Ji threw out the fishing rod again.

"You should go back to sleep, Liu Piaopiao."

This meant chasing someone away, Liu Piaopiao rubbed her nose, thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince really has deep thoughts.

But what does this have to do with her?

She got gold, and one bite had deep teeth marks.

A happy life is waving to Liu Piaopiao, the dream wine shop, here I come!

This time, Liu Piaopiao slept very soundly.
