Li Yuanjing felt satisfied.
I still remember that in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Chen Wei was still a pure white sheet of paper. She didn't know how to scheme, didn't understand the inner house struggles, and only knew how to love him foolishly.
Later, Shen Wei followed him for a long time. Under Li Yuanjing's guidance, Shen Wei also learned how to protect herself. The flowers he cultivated with his own hands are slowly blooming.
"That won't work. I also have to use a trick on the emperor." Chen Wei smiled.
Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest: "What's the plan?"
Shen Wei's slender white fingers grabbed Li Yuanjing's belt, and her tone was proud and playful: "Beauty trap."
The candlelight shines through the thin gauze bed curtains, and the beauty under the lamp looks like a painting.
Shen Wei's eyes were slightly raised, her lips were rosy, and her light-colored pajamas had fallen off her shoulders, revealing her round, white shoulders. Her skin is as white as jade, with a subtle fragrance, charming and affectionate.
Very tempting.
Li Yuanjing's throat tightened and his voice became as soft as sand: "Then I am willing to fall into the trap."
The evening breeze blew, the pink lotus buds that had just emerged in the yard swayed to this and that, and the carp in the pond jumped out of the water. The night was still long.
...
At dawn the next day, Shen Wei was still sleeping soundly in bed. Li Yuanjing put on his clothes, stood by the bed and watched Shen Wei who was sleeping for a while, feeling infinitely satisfied physically and mentally.
He left the bedroom quietly.
The palace maid brought breakfast, and after Li Yuanjing had his meal, he went for a stroll in the vegetable garden. The eggplants he planted have already borne fruit, the tomatoes are big and red, and a few cucumbers have also grown.
Li Yuanjing planned to plant some more radishes in the future. Leyou really liked drinking sweet radish soup.
Li Yuanjing went to the morning court, and Chen Wei slept for half an hour in a daze, then got up slowly and got dressed. As she changed her clothes, she was thinking that it was not enough to gain merit with the Queen. If she wanted to spread her reputation, she had to start with the other ladies in Yanjing.
Next, Shen Wei started her plan.
Shen Wei did not deliberately try to win over the women of several major families;
Shen Wei intends to win over the women from the families of officials from poor families, civil officials and military generals. Under the banner of the empress dowager, Shen Wei occasionally held banquets for the women of the family, where they would chat about family matters, share beauty tips, and brew wine and drink tea.
In addition, Shen Wei took over Princess Zhaoyang's previous charity work and continued to adopt orphans in Anguo Temple. Children who are gifted in learning are given lessons by teachers; children who are not good at studying are sent by Manager Ye to various shops as apprentices.
If a disaster occurred in a county of Qing Kingdom, Shen Wei would take the lead in promoting frugality in the palace, and the silver saved in the palace would be sent to the disaster area.
After a series of operations, big and small, Shen Wei's reputation among the people is getting better and better.
...
Nanchu Palace.
The former King Heng of Daqing has transformed himself into Li Yuanli, the new emperor of Southern Chu. In the imperial garden, clusters of roses were in full bloom, and Li Yuanli casually threw the letter in his hand into the pond.
Snap——
The letter sent from the Kingdom of Donglin hit the pond, creating a clear splash of water.
"You are a small country with no credibility." Li Yuanli sat in the pavilion, drinking tea lazily. A fat white fox curled up at Li Yuanli's feet, with its claws folded, sleeping soundly.
The official who brought the letter lowered his head in fear, not daring to breathe.
Originally, Nanchu planned to cooperate with Donglin Kingdom in military training and jointly attack the cities in the south of Daqing.
However, the Donglin Kingdom went back on its word and submitted a letter of separation to Nanchu, claiming that it was under coercion from Daqing and did not dare to cooperate with Nanchu.
The Qing Kingdom spread the word that it would build dikes and dams on several branches of the upper reaches of the Mingyuan River.
Building dams and dikes is difficult in the first place, but a hundred years ago, Princess Taihua invented a new method of building dams, which reduced the difficulty of building dams and dikes. The dams can also regulate the amount of water sources. This method has been widely used, and building dikes and dams is no longer a difficult task.
The Donglin Kingdom never expected that the Qing Kingdom would come up with such a surprising move. Most of the farmland irrigation in the Donglin Kingdom depends on this river of life. If the rivers run dry, the country will suffer a devastating disaster.
The Donglin Kingdom became obedient and served as a vassal state peacefully, no longer daring to cause trouble.
In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Li Yuanli held a white jade cup between his bony fingers and asked his ministers with a half-smile: "Which minister in Daqing came up with the bad idea of building a dam across the river?"
Since he couldn't kill Li Yuanjing for the time being, he killed the minister who proposed to block the river.
The minister lowered his head, his voice trembling: "The informants in Yanjing said that it was the Eighth Prince of Daqing who came up with this bad idea."
Li Yuanli said "hmm" with a hint of doubt in his voice: "Eighth Prince?"
The minister continued to answer tremblingly: "The Eighth Prince is the son of Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen's brother is Shen Mieyue."
Li Yuanli took a breath, and Shen Wei's cunning and beautiful face appeared in front of him.
Like mother, like son!
Shen Wei is cunning, and her son is also full of bad intentions.
The minister said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the spies in Yanjing are ready. As long as you issue an order, the Eighth Prince will be killed within ten days."
Li Yuanli put down the teacup: "No need, the child is still young."
The ministers were stunned.
Your Majesty, the emperor who is known for his ruthlessness and determination, actually showed compassion for a child today?
Li Yuanli spoke slowly, as if talking to himself: "That woman is smart, and her son is hard to kill."
As the wind blew, clusters of roses in the imperial garden swayed in the wind, and their red petals spread out.
Li Yuanli stood up and kicked the fox that was sleeping soundly at his feet to wake it up. The fat fox was forced to wake up from his sweet dream, baring his teeth, and pounced on Li Yuanli to bite his golden jade boots.
There were shallow bite marks on the edges of the boots.
The ministers' eyelids twitched as they watched. The new emperor of Southern Chu was ruthless. He ascended the throne amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was cruel and bloodthirsty. But unfortunately, he raised a white fox with a bad temper.
