After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 169 Cement is made
Children are very good at watching adults.

Originally, the little princess didn't want to cry, but the emperor's attitude made her feel that she would be sorry for the fall if she didn't cry.

So I burst into tears.

The emperor was so distressed that his mind went dizzy.

"This piece of land is so annoying. It caused us Wanwan to fall down. Daddy will vent your anger on you! Step on it, step on it!"

Queen: "..."

She stepped forward and took her daughter from the emperor, "Okay Wanwan, don't cry anymore."

As soon as the queen spoke out, the little princess, who was always ready for thunder and no rain, immediately stopped crying.

"Your Majesty, it's normal for children to bump into each other when playing. Besides, I asked the palace servants to lay a thick and soft carpet on the floor. If you fall down, it will be fine.

"If His Majesty hadn't come to help Wanwan, Wanwan would have stood up on her own. But luckily for you, as soon as Wanwan fell, you rushed over to her and made such childish and ridiculous actions.

"If you continue like this, Wanwan will be spoiled by you sooner or later."

Looking at his daughter's eyes without a drop of tears, the emperor smiled coquettishly and forcefully defended: "I am not concerned about it, but I am in trouble."

The little princess was tired from playing and fell asleep. The queen handed Wanwan to Bai Zhi and asked her to take the little princess to bed.

"Tell me, did you get offended by the previous one again? I saw something was wrong with your face when you first came back."

The queen took the emperor to the pavilion, and the couple sat down on the stone bench.

The queen picked up the teapot and poured the emperor a cup of warm tea.

The emperor patted his thigh and sighed heavily, "The one who knows me is An Niang."

"I get angry when I talk about this. Those old men only want to benefit their families and don't care about the people at all."

The queen peeled off a rice dumpling candy and handed it to her husband.

Who would have thought that the founding emperor of Dayong, who was invincible and brave on the battlefield, was actually a sugar addict?

As the queen's pillow, she naturally knew the emperor's preferences, so she always kept some candies by her side.

Sometimes I even make some by myself.

This rice dumpling candy was made by her herself.

The crystalline syrup is filled with dried flowers and pine nuts, and is fixed in the shape of a triangular rice dumpling with a mold, hence the name Zongzi Candy.

After the syrup dries, the surface is hard and transparent, and you can clearly see the petals and dried fruits wrapped inside, just like a magnificent amber.

It looks beautiful and tastes crispy, sweet and fragrant.

After eating a rice dumpling candy made by his beloved wife, the emperor's mood improved a lot.

"I want to build a new post road between Beijing and Yuezhou, and build several post stations along the way. After all, the border is not peaceful now. If there is a war, with this post road, I can receive the news as soon as possible. .

"You said, isn't this a great thing that benefits the country and the people?

"But those ministers jumped out to oppose it one by one. They used the same rhetoric as when I wanted to build a college. They are treating me as a fool!"

If the reasons for the objections of those ministers are reasonable and legitimate, and he is not a foolish king, he will naturally obey them.

But the reasons they used back and forth were the same, so how could he not be angry?
The queen could see the thoughts of those ministers very clearly. Because she could see through them, she could feel calm.

"Your Majesty, this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, but it may not be beneficial to the family.

"As long as foreign enemies don't kill them, how can they care whether war and military information is conveyed quickly or not?

"Even if foreign enemies really come to kill them, they can abandon the king and flee to the south bank of Pingjiang River.

"When the world is calmed down, they can come back and continue to be high-ranking officials and well-paid, because they are sure that no matter who conquers the world, they will be needed to help govern."

This is not the queen slandering the family out of thin air, but something that actually happened.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. Many aristocratic families fled to the mountains and forests, or to the south coast where the enemy could not pursue them. Some even went to sea by boat.

And when the world was settled, they came back again.

The reason for coming back was very righteous, saying that he came to serve Dayong and serve the people.

The emperor really needed them, so even though he knew that the family's loyalty was weak, he had to accept it.

Because the return of the family, in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.It’s just that as time goes by, the disadvantages gradually become apparent.

The emperor felt that he was facing increasing resistance in the court.

Any decree he proposed would be refuted by the courtiers.

He felt that he was really aggrieved as an emperor.

The queen held the emperor's hand and looked at the lush spring scenery outside the pavilion, frowning in thought.

There was a suggestion, but when it came to her lips, she swallowed it.

That is - following the wishes of the noble family, recruiting a large number of people into the harem, and then taking advantage of the disputes in the harem to indirectly influence or even control the court.

However, once the compromise was opened, it was out of control.

If they compromise on one thing, there will be thousands more waiting for them.

And secretly, she doesn't want to share her husband with countless women.

However, the pressure on His Majesty from the courtiers was increasing, and she didn't know how long His Majesty could hold on.

After all, it would be ridiculous to stick to another, more difficult path when there is a shortcut right in front of you.

After dinner, the emperor and the empress took the little princess for a walk in the garden as usual, just like ordinary folk couples.

The emperor and empress chatted and laughed with the little princess, trying not to show their worries and worries in front of their daughter.

After the walk, the emperor once again gave his daughter a horse and carried her around the house.

After putting his daughter to sleep, he returned to the study to deal with government affairs.

The queen also has a lot of palace affairs to deal with.

The couple each occupied half of the study, so they could spend time with each other without disturbing each other.

Before going to bed, the emperor had a sudden thought and wrote a letter to his friend Xiaojiu. He was clearly complaining about the court officials not allowing him to build a post road, but he was secretly intending to investigate.

I want to see if Lin Xiaojiu can do anything.

But when the letter was handed over to the secret guard for delivery, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Even he couldn't solve the problem, could Lin Xiaojiu, a child, solve it?

No matter how smart and evil he is, he is still just a child under ten years old.

Spring River plumbing.

Two wild ducks leisurely crossed the river, causing ripples on the calm river surface.

The clear river water is like a gorgeous watercolor under the reflection of the setting sun.

A painting boat slowly passes through this watercolor painting, which is full of poetry.

Sitting on the boat were Lin Xi and Lin Wushang.

Lin Xi went to Meiyuan, the county town, to pick up her gift.

"Your Majesty." As soon as the two arrived at Meiyuan, Qin Xue came in a hurry, with obvious joy on his face.

Seeing Lin Xi, he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Lin Wushang led Lin Xi inside and signaled to Qin Xue: "Aunt Xue just said it's okay."

Qin Xue: "You gave me a cement recipe earlier and asked me to find someone to test it secretly. Now I finally made it! I brought back a bag of finished products. Do you want to take a look?"

Lin Wushang looked at Lin Xi and asked her what she meant.

Lin Xi: "Go and see my gift first."

The cement is there anyway and can't be run away, so there's no need to rush.

But the gift was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Lin Wushang wanted to see the cement first, but he knew that Lin Xi would not listen to him, so he had to take her to the warehouse first.
