After not seeing each other for many days, Chu Qi really missed Shi Qiang very much.
Looking at her watery almond eyes, blinking slowly, she seemed to be unresponsive.
…kind of cute.
Chu Qi turned her around in his arms, let her sit face to face on his lap, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This was the first time the two had been intimate since they had been separated for seven days.
Shi Qian was startled by the sudden action, a little flustered appeared on her face, and her slender fingers gently placed on the other's shoulders, "Hmm..." She panted softly, and finally separated a little, and hurriedly said:
"I didn't drink much soup..."
She was kissed unconscious. Wasn’t she here to nourish Yun Chang’s body?
How did he suddenly end up complaining about his grievances and then kissing Yun Chang?
"Then drink now." Chu Qi freed one hand, picked up the bowl and drank it, then continued to kiss Shi Qiang.
After finally kissing, the remaining chicken soup had gone cold.
Shi Qian was embarrassed to ask whether the previous topic of "marrying only her" was true, but she felt sweet in her heart.
Yun Chang certainly did not have any intention of having other women.
The two have known each other for nearly four years.
She had just come of age that year, and is now almost nineteen years old.
Yun Chang is not much older than her and is also about to reach the age of twenty.
Throughout all this time, the most outrageous thing Yun Chang had done was to hug her, kiss her and touch her, but he would never take the last step, saying that he wanted to save it until they got married.
Yun Chang was a normal man. Even if he went out to touch other women, Shi Qian was mentally prepared. However, for so long, there had never been any news of him being involved with any woman.
Therefore, Yun Chang's words about marrying only her sounded very credible to Shi Qian, and she was filled with sweetness.
"Yun Chang, I won't bother you anymore then?" Shi Qian was about to get off Chu Qi's legs, but he held her waist tightly, making her unable to move at all. She uttered a puzzled "Hmm?"
"Don't go, stay with me." Chu Qi held her tightly, put his chin lightly on her shoulder, and carried her directly to his desk.
The two of them maintained the posture of hugging each other. Chu Qi spread out the memorials and sorted them silently.
Useful ones, such as those asking the people how to settle their problems, are placed on the left, and useless ones, such as those asking "Is the Lord happy today?" are placed on the ground.
Shi Qian quietly relaxed her body, trying not to disturb Yun Chang in handling government affairs.
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. The education she received since childhood told her that women in the harem were not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Although she was not yet a formal harem, it didn't matter. Was it considered interfering in government affairs for her to sit on Yun Chang's lap like this?
——Interference shouldn’t count, right?
Just as I was quietly lowering my presence, I heard Yun Chang say:
"The plague is over, but the problems it left behind have not been solved. Too many people have died from disasters and plagues. I recently visited the people and found that many children who lost their loved ones have no place to live."
Although Chu Qi's land distribution policy temporarily alleviated the living difficulties of most people, it definitely did not include the children who lost their parents and relatives.
Fortunately, the vacant houses can be used by homeless people to live in, but how the children will live is still a problem. Even if they have a place to live, they do not have the ability to cultivate the fields, which is still a problem.
And because of the strong crackdown on leasing to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to collect land, the land allocated to children cannot be rented to adults.
"What should we do then?"
Shi Qiang was confused.
"I plan to build an orphanage," Chu Qi said, "and hire people to take care of and raise children who are unable to survive on their own. When the children grow up, they will get their own land back."
When the time comes to divide the land, the grown-up orphans will be able to protect their own things.
"But this is not what I want to discuss with you." Chu Qi had some experience in placing orphans. Although the experience was far away, it was not impossible. She was thinking about another thing:
"Most of the people in Chu are hardworking, and only a few are able to study. I want to build a school so that all children can go to school."
It seemed that he was just thinking about it. Shi Qiang was confused and didn't understand why Yun Chang told her this. "We are still at war. Isn't it too hasty to do this?"
Chu Qi agreed: "It's too hasty. When enough bombs are developed and General Wei takes over the entire Yan State, I will discuss the long-term plan with the officials."
He said it now just to chat with Shi Qian and talk about his initial plan. Managing a country is not as simple as it seems.
Chu Qi had never been an emperor before, so she was completely clueless. However, she had the knowledge she learned in the modern world as a foundation, and many of her ideas were of great help in governing the country. In addition, she had more than 30 capable ministers and generals who she had won over, and with their assistance, Chu Qi would feel a lot more relaxed.
And because of the ability of hypnosis, they are all very loyal to Chu Qi and there is no need to worry about being betrayed. These useful ministers become even more useful.
"Starting tomorrow, Wanwan and I will go out together to check on the growth of crops." Chu Qi had almost dealt with the major events, so he could focus on the crops from now on. He wouldn't have to travel too much, and could take Shi Qiang out.
Shi Qian has always been in weak health, so Chu Qi would not take her with her when she was going on a long journey. If they were just in Shencheng, there would be no problem taking Shi Qian with her.
Hearing this, Shi Qian became happy. She hadn't been out for a long time, and she was even happier to be able to go out with Yun Chang.
After staying in the study for about half an hour, Shi Qian was worried that she would tire Yun Chang out by always sitting on his lap, so she took the initiative to leave the study, making the excuse of taking a shower.
As soon as she returned to the room, Shi Qian noticed her mother sitting in the room.
She suddenly paused and didn't dare to move forward for a moment.
Mother turned her head, revealing a pretty face that looked very similar to hers, "Wanwan."
Shi Qian took a deep breath and walked forward slowly like a child who had done something wrong, "Mom."
"So, did you test whether Izumo Chang has any plans to get married today?" Shi's mother held her daughter's hand. As they walked along, her daughter's hand became much colder.
She warmed her daughter's hands and said slowly:
"Now that Yun Chang has become the emperor, it would be better to get married early and settle down your status while he still loves you as before. Otherwise, what will you do in the future..."
Although Chu Qi tried to be polite when they met normally, he had killed people and had been in a high position for a long time, so his father and mother did not dare to bring it up. The bold youngest son volunteered to go out with General Wei to kill the enemy and would not be here. So mother could only hope that her precious daughter could ask Chu Qi what he thought herself, so that she could help to bring it up later.
The mother couldn't help but be anxious.
Her precious daughter and Chu Qi are so close that to outsiders it seems that they have been husband and wife for a long time. However, they have not had a wedding for such a long time. It is not right or proper. If the other party was not the emperor, Shi's mother would have boldly proposed it long ago.
