my awesome king

Chapter 10

Not far from the palace, Ji Xiaomo leaned over in pain and retched while leaning on the corner of the wall.

"Ouch..." After retching, Mu Shuiqing felt a little sick when he heard it, and turned his head away, don't look at evil!
Ji Xiaomo wiped the stolen goods from the corners of his lips in embarrassment, and smiled weakly: "I drank too much wine just now, I feel a little uncomfortable...vomit..."

Seeing that Ji Xiaomo was retching in pain just after he finished speaking, Mu Shuiqing's eyes turned red, and he patted him on the back lightly and said, "Since your health is not good, why should the prince drink it... in case you cough up blood again and pass out What should I do..." She could clearly remember that on the night of their marriage, this weak prince fainted because of too much work and gorgeous vomiting of blood.

"They are your family...cough cough..." Ji Xiaomo coughed up blood so gorgeously...

Seeing Mu Shuiqing's strange expression, Ji Xiaomo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked softly, "Don't you like home?"

"Home?" Mu Shuiqing sneered, mist appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Here... there is no home for me anymore... There is nothing..."

Ji Xiaomo was startled, he couldn't help holding Mu Shuiqing's hand, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "Let's go home..."

The palace is not her home, she will one day gather a sum of money and leave here, and find a rural town to live a leisurely life isolated from the world.

Mu Shuiqing bit her lip and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the warm touch and the gentle heartbeat kept coming from her fingertips, eroding her palm and her thoughts bit by bit.

"You said, you want to help me take care of my palace..."

Ji Xiaomo smiled lightly, his already handsome and alluring face, because of that smile, suddenly swayed colorfully, making Mu Shuiqing's heart thumping, and the heart lake was also stirred up by that smile.

The word home is really beautiful, so beautiful that people can't help but want to indulge.Ji Xiaomo's simple sentence gently disintegrated all her pretended strength.

Mu Shuiqing sniffed, smiled and blamed and said: "Your lord is not going back to the mansion like this to scare others. The corner of his mouth is dirty and stained with blood... What if you think I'm bullying you... "

She stretched out her hand, gently wiped Ji Xiaomo's lips, and said lightly, "Let's go home..."

Back at the palace, Mu Shuiqing, who couldn't bear the stench all over his body, went to take a bath in the repaired bath happily.Qingzhu carefully helped Ji Xiaomo onto the bed, helped him change his clothes, and felt his pulse.

The pulse condition is extremely weak, and the body is extremely weak.

Seeing the usual faint smile on Ji Xiaomo's face, Qingzhu said with trembling lips: "Just now...wasn't..." Was it a play?

"What do you think of the scene I did just now?" Ji Xiaomo touched his cheek narcissistically, and interjected, "Will Mu Shuiqing be confused by me?" Afterwards, he smiled softly.

"My lord!" Qingzhu slapped the table angrily, "Are you ruining your body just because of this! You obviously can't drink alcohol! What if you get sick..." Her eyes turned red, and she started sobbing softly.

Ji Xiaomo has always been fond of Qingzhu crying, he quickly squatted down, patted Qingzhu's back lightly and coaxed: "Okay, okay, don't cry... I will definitely not drink next time..."

He also didn't know what happened to him today... He actually did something that he didn't expect at all...

Seeing that Qingzhu was still crying, Ji Xiaomo hurriedly asked for help: "Bai Ye, help me coax Qingzhu!"

Facing the fiery gaze, the guard who was hiding in a blind spot froze for a moment, then walked out nervously with hands and feet.He lowered his head and said dully: "Qing Zhu, what a shame to cry and cry, don't make things difficult for the master..."

After being told by her sweetheart, Qingzhu cried even more fiercely. She stretched out her fingers and tremblingly said: "Master, you vomit blood, you don't show up, and master almost got into an accident while drinking, you don't show up. If you indulge him like this, sooner or later you will kill the master." !” Before she finished speaking, her lips were sealed.

She stared wide-eyed, facing a pair of black pupils that were as dark as water, containing a violent storm, her unspoken words were blocked back.

Bai Ye likes green bamboo, and as a shadow guard, he can only hide in the dark and silently protect his master.Although he is very close to Qingzhu, he seldom appears in front of her, let alone talk about his lovesickness.

Ji Xiaomo was watching the show with a smile on his face: Unexpectedly, Bai Ye would have a day of enlightenment, and actually made the nagging Qingzhu shut up...

The bathtub in the mansion was finally repaired. After Mu Shui took a hot shower, he happily walked towards the bedroom.From a distance, she saw black silhouettes on the window, and the two figures were very close, as if they were kissing.

Mu Shuiqing was slightly stunned, and after the two figures parted, she pushed the door in as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "The bathing pool in the palace is really comfortable..."

Qing Zhu's face was flushed, her lips were slightly swollen, and her eyes were radiant with soft water. When Mu Shuiqing suddenly broke in, she looked nervous and caught, and she seemed to understand: "My lord, I am Not to bother you..."

Qingzhu is a good maid, if Ji Xiaomo likes her, why not marry her, so that she can have a future for herself.The two of them are always making out secretly, is it because Qingzhu's status is low and she cannot marry?Or did he do it silently because he cared about her feelings? ... She is actually a generous princess!

My lord, don't be careless on the ground!

Ji Xiaomo knew that she would have misunderstood it. She thought she would get angry and lose her temper once, but Mu Shuiqing winked and hinted there, and pushed the door to leave.He helped his forehead helplessly: "Princess, it's late at night, go to sleep." He patted the bed, and Qingzhu stepped back upon seeing this.

Mu Shuiqing giggled, rolled sideways and got into bed.She had just taken a shower, and there was a pleasant body fragrance all over her body, so Ji Xiaomo couldn't help but hide away.

Mu Shuiqing saw Ji Xiaomo huddled against the wall, unable to cover himself with the quilt, so he quickly rolled to his side, and carefully covered him with the quilt.Looking at Ji Xiaomo's soft and reddish side face, she thought to herself: Ji Xiaomo is so easy to bully, why not take this opportunity to blackmail him!
"My lord, if my housekeeper manages well, will there be a reward?" Mu Shuiqing approached him.

Ji Xiaomo hesitated, Mu Shuiqing approached again, and said aggressively: "I have to be rewarded to be motivated, I don't do it for nothing!"

"Well. What do you want?" Someone who was forced to the wall asked timidly.

"How much is the housekeeper's monthly fee?" Mu Shuiqing spread his hands and said with a smile, "I want five times!"

"50 taels of silver." Ji Xiaomo pondered for a while, and said, "Okay." He meant that five times is 50 taels of silver...

Five times is 250 taels!Although this number is not very auspicious, but Mu Shuiqing's eyes are full of white money, the more he thinks about it, the happier he is.Her eyebrows were curved, and she rushed towards Ji Xiaomo happily.Seeing that his face was getting redder, she laughed and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, my lord! I will try my best to help my lord manage the palace well and earn more money! Remember to give me a dividend then!"

The prince is so weak, he can be bullied and manipulated at any time!Her carefree life in the palace is here!
Ji Xiaomo was thrown onto the bed by Mu Shuiqing, unable to move at all.The heavy body was pressing on him, he just groaned in pain, then he tilted his neck, rolled his eyes, and foamed.

Seeing that Ji Xiaomo's aura was getting weaker and weaker, Mu Shuiqing patted his face nervously and said, "My lord, my lord, don't die yet!"

At noon on the second day, Steward Mo ran up to Mu Shuiqing hypocritically, and reported to her that the four housekeepers had returned to the capital, and were waiting in the living room, waiting for the concubine to dispatch her.

"Oh, it's settled?" Mu Shuiqing took a sip of tea, glanced at Ji Xiaomo who was reading on the bed, and said with a light smile, "Let them in."

"Yes, princess."

"My little one has met the prince and concubine." After the shopkeepers entered the room, they saluted respectfully.

"My lord's family business depends on all of you taking care of it carefully. How can I ask you to do such a great gift. Please sit down." Mu Shuiqing stepped forward, falsely helped them up one by one, and led them to their seats , Then she said to the maid waiting at the door: "Zhuyue, Lanyue, serve tea."

It was the first time for the four shopkeepers to see Mu Shuiqing. Seeing that she looked like a weak woman without any pretensions, the careful instructions of Butler Mo were thrown aside in an instant, and they despised her.

"Princess, this is last month's account book."

It took two days to carefully change the account book. If it is not a professional, it will never discover the mystery hidden in it.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shuiqing only glanced at the last page and closed the ledger.Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what she wanted to do.But seeing her smiling and touching, everyone suddenly became nervous.

"The pharmacy lost a total of 700 taels. The net profit of the teahouse was 70 taels, and the cloth shop was 170 taels." Seeing them all sitting upright, Mu Shui smiled lightly, "Am I right?"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Chen of the pharmacy said seriously, "For a long time, the prince's medicine has been drawn from our pharmacy. The pharmacy has been unable to make ends meet, and it is really difficult to operate. Therefore, I hope that the princess can give more money to the pharmacy."

Naturally, Mu Shuiqing would not look at the tampered account book.The shopkeepers bullied Ji Xiaomo into neglecting the house, ranting against the royal family's finances, and deliberately understated the profits. She had guessed it a long time ago, and prepared a move on purpose.

Tapping the table with his fingers, Mu Shuiqing smiled happily when he saw the calm faces of the four people: "Since you have been losing money, what is the use of you? You don't have to come from tomorrow."

"What!" Shopkeeper Chen's hand trembled, and the teacup rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Shopkeeper Yan of the tea house panicked: "Is the princess joking? We have been in charge of the prince's family business for more than ten years. If we are dismissed, the prince's family business will become a mess! What's more, without us, who will manage the prince's family business?" !?" He finally used a threatening tone, angrily, "So, do you still want to dismiss us?!"

"Why not, my concubine will take over all the affairs!" Mu Shuiqing took out the jade pendant, swaying it brightly in front of the four of them, and said arrogantly: "With the jade pendant of the prince as proof, from now on, this concubine's housekeeper, this concubine's The will is the will of the prince! You are so courageous, do you want to resist the prince?!"

She will take revenge on those who bullied Ji Xiaomo and corrupted behind their backs.Look at how arrogant they are!

"Housekeeper for the lord, heh, stop joking!" Mu Shuiqing sneered and slapped the account book on the table, and said domineeringly, "Ten years ago, the lord's family wealth probably was more than a few thousand taels of silver. However, being a housekeeper by you, now, There is still a loss! You have the audacity to beg for the prince's salary! What use is it to ask you useless people!"

The originally contemptuous four people were silenced by Mu Shuiqing's words.The prince's family property is naturally not that small, they secretly made false accounts, secretly embezzled and divided them equally.I thought that by reporting the accounts low, I could deceive the ignorant concubine, and then get some financial support from the prince, and eat, drink and have fun for a while.Now the concubine used this as an excuse to turn them around and drive them out of the mansion.At this time, if there is no loss, it is extortion and corruption. No matter how they go, they will end up dead!
It was a sunny day, and the foreheads of the four shopkeepers were covered with cold sweat. They all looked at Ji Xiaomo who was quietly reading and didn't plan to intervene in panic.

Why did the prince marry a shrew and come back!
