Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 114 Thank You (2)

In the imperial study room, Xiao Yi was holding a plate of dried fruit, lying on the couch next to the bed, chomping, gnawing happily.

In front of the table case, Xiao Yi was writing quickly with a pen, and the copywriting memorials placed on the left table case piled up bit by bit to the right side.

After Xiao Yi finished eating the dried fruit on the plate, she glanced at the situation on the table, and quickly got up and ran to Xiao Yi's side to make a dogleg.

"Yueyue, why are you so fast, are you tired, do you want to take a break? Come on, you have approved enough today, you should take a break, eat something, and replenish your strength."

A pair of ruthless eyes directed towards Xiao Yi, making him tremble all over, he laughed and said, "Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that."

"What to eat? Where's the shelled fruit that was agreed upon?"

"This... this is..."

"Report to the Emperor and Empress, don't ask to see each other." A shrill voice sounded outside the door, Xiao Yiru was pardoned.

"Quick, please hurry up."

Xiao Yi slickly stood three feet away from Xiao Yi, Mo Yanxiao came in in casual clothes, clasped his fists and saluted: "My minister bows to the emperor, empress."

This pair of bones is still pitifully thin, and the look of exhaustion in this person's eyebrows and eyes is also the same as before, and it has not diminished a bit.The clean and cool man who once made Xiao Yi's heart flutter, after all, is still stained with the traces of time.

Xiao Yi was in a trance for a while, it seemed that this was the first time she had seen her since Dongzhou had been away for more than three months.

"Master Mo, there is no need to be polite." Xiao Yi fetched another plate of dried fruit from somewhere, sat cross-legged on the dragon chair, and began to peel the fruit.

"If Master Mo is fine, why don't you come and peel some dried fruit with me, so that Yueyue and I can hand in this errand early."

"Your Majesty, I came to you to talk about Dongzhou."

"Dongzhou." Xiao Yi peeled the dried fruit in his hand and clapped his palms together.

"Well, exactly."

Xiao Yi pouted, picked up another dried fruit and continued to peel: "Isn't the Dongzhou matter almost resolved? The improvement of the Dongzhou Dam, the imperial court has already sent special personnel to repair it. The money has been given enough, and those common people have been properly arranged by the queen."

Mo Yanxiao nodded in agreement.

"The culprit of the Dongzhou incident has already been found out by you, Mo Xiangye, so what else will happen?" It seems that he really has nothing to do with being an emperor.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, when will the beheading of Song Yuanqing's family and the copying of the official documents of the Song family be approved? I have already submitted this official document for two days."

"Ah?" Xiao Yi was dumbfounded.

Xiao Yi thought carefully about the official documents she had just approved, and there was no copy about the Song family that Mo Yanxiao said.

"Yueyue." Xiao Yi cast a look of help to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi shook her head helplessly, she didn't see that copy, besides, a few days ago, due to the instability of the fetus, she had been a living dead for many days, lying on the bed every day waiting for food, drink and other molestation.

It was a little better today, and as soon as she got the "special release" from the imperial physician, she rushed to clean up this mess for Xiao Yi.

"Master Mo Xiang..." Xiao Yi was embarrassed, and kept peeling the dried fruit with both hands.

"Oh, no matter what, my minister asked the emperor to approve the imperial decree. There should be no further delay in going to the Song family to search the house."

The Dongzhou flood relief money for several years, plus the repair money that has not been used on the Dongzhou Dam, and other miscellaneous money from corruption, the Song family must be a big gold cave.

The treasury is still in short supply, and this batch of money is most urgently needed.

"Okay, Yueyue." Xiao Yi was still peeling the dried fruit, but only kept his lips open, while Xiao Yi only spread out a scroll of imperial edicts and swiped his pen.

When Mo Yanxiao saw this, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his clear eyes were worried.

After Xiao Yi wrote it and stamped it with a seal, she took the scroll and walked to Mo Yanxiao, and handed it to him.

Mo Yanxiao bowed to receive the order, his eyes just fell on Xiao Yi's slightly swollen abdomen, but it was more than three months old, and she was already pregnant.

"Master Mo, thank you." Xiao Yi smiled and thanked. After all, he was working hard for the Xiao family, so a thank you should be said.

"The queen's words are serious, and the minister can't do it. The minister is just doing what he should do."

"Pfft, why is Master Mo so cautious, I'm just thanking the Xiao family for your hard work for this big Chu."

"Being able to serve the emperor is a blessing in besieging the city."

Mo Yanxiao's intentional unfamiliarity caused Xiao Yi's face to change. Xiao Yi walked up to Xiao Yi with the peeled dried fruits, and fed them to Xiao Yi's mouth one by one with his own hands.

"Master Mo, since this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and you already have the imperial decree, you should do it quickly."

Xiao Yi waved his little hand, and had to show courtesy to Xiao Yi again. "Yueyue, come, eat fruit. The imperial doctor said that this fruit is good for children. You should eat more, you know."

"Resignation." Mo Yanxiao took the imperial decree, turned around and left the eye-catching imperial study.Well, it must be that the imperial study room is inlaid with gold and silver, which is too eye-catching.

Xiao Yi stabilized her fluttering breath, pushed Xiao Yi away unhappily, and shouted: "The flesh is gone, and you still stuff it into my mouth, are you blind when you think of your queen?"

"No, I dare not."

"Ah."

"Wrong, I was the one who was blind."

"Humph."

"That's why I took you."

"Xiao Yi, your skin is itchy, do you think that I haven't scratched you for three days, and you want to peel off this layer of skin?"

"I didn't think about it, I really didn't think about it."

"Then go and continue peeling for me."

"Yes, my little one obeys, Your Lady Queen."

Xiao Yi was ordered to peel the fruit, Xiao Yi interrupted to continue reviewing the copy memorial, but saw several bright notebooks neatly stacked and placed under a wooden leg of the table.

"Xiao Yi."

"exist."

"Look at what you've done."

Xiao Yi followed Xiao Yi's fingers and saw the booklet under the table case, her eyebrows twitched.

"This is the imperial palace. Is it so poor? The table leg is broken, so you won't be able to replace it with a new table."

It's not the point, it's okay, it's okay.

Ever since Xiao Yi became pregnant, not only did her temper skyrocket and become explosive, but her attention also became inexplicable. She was not angry about something that should be angry, but she could get angry because of something that didn't need to be angry.

Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "This palace is really so poor, especially the emperor, who is really useless."

Years of natural disasters and man-made disasters, no matter how rich you are, you can't stand such a toss.

"Okay, don't cry poorly for me, anyway, your people are in dire straits, and you, the emperor, should bear it with them."

"Oh."

"Hurry up and peel the fruit. Remember, you can't steal it. This is for your child."

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Yi sat back in front of the table, raised the pen, put it down, got up and searched in the imperial study, and finally found a piece of jade that was about as high as the corner of the table, and replaced the memorial.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi was taken aback.A pair of lips pursed and pursed, and then barely suppressed the words that were about to blurt out, because...

At this moment, the jade seal placed under the corner of the table shone with grievances.

It's a pity that its owner didn't dare to rescue it, because he couldn't match the majesty of the 'enemy'.

Thinking of the inoculation given by the imperial doctor Bao, Xiao Yi was very grateful.If Bao Shuhua hadn't told him in advance a bunch of signs that a woman would gradually appear after pregnancy, he would have suffered more torture.

It's just that I didn't expect that this temporary loss of soul would appear so soon.

"By the way, where's Li Zhong? I have a letter to Yunzhu, let him send it to me." Xiao Yi suddenly remembered, put down the pen in her hand, and buried her head in her hands to search.

"This... Yueyue."

"Ah."

"Li Zhong was sent by you to deliver the letter, just yesterday."

"Really? Why don't I remember." Xiao Yi frowned, concentrating on her memories.

Xiao Yi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, he was sent by you to deliver the letter yesterday." He just came back from Dongzhou the day before yesterday.

If the recipient was not a girl, he would have quit long ago.

"Oh." Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Yi with dull eyes, Xiao Yi hurriedly peeled the flesh carefully, and did not see the playful smile hanging from the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth.
