Fifty-eight
A month later, Yunqi became the first male queen in the history of Daqian as Huanling Qi.
The queen assisted the emperor in implementing a number of measures that benefited the country and the people without disrupting the original balance of power among the various parties, and gradually gained recognition from the people and officials.
Three years later, the canal leading directly to Wengzhou had been open for two years. Now Wengzhou was no longer barren. The stability of the border, the happiness of the people and the subsequent diplomatic negotiations made the national strength of Dagan rise to a new level.
Just half a year after they left Diyue, Diyue had a new king. In order to prevent this potential threat from taking advantage of the tight treasury due to the major water conservancy projects, Ling Junyan specially wrote a letter, and a large-scale sweep of the remaining forces of the two princes began in Diyue, which lasted for nearly half a year.
The only issue that has caused objections among the officials now is the question of Ling Junyan taking a concubine into his harem.
After the morning court session, Ling Junyan came to Yun Qi with obvious displeasure on his face. He came without saying a word and just sat there, looking like a sulking child.
Yun Qi smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Since becoming the queen, Yunqi sometimes feels that she has become a lot more "kind", like now.
Ling Junyan then said, "Those old stubborn people are trying to persuade me to take a concubine again. They act like they have made a plan and are arguing with each other in the court. It's really annoying. I think they are just bored. I will send them to help the people with the work in the fields someday."
This "vicious" trick made Yun Qi laugh, but after thinking it over, he said, "How about...giving a few?"
Yun Qi regretted it after he finished speaking, because at the beginning Ling Junyan might be like a powder keg that would not explode unless ignited, but now, he was like a frozen can of Coke, filled with an uncertain and dangerous atmosphere.
"What did you say?"
The other party's cold tone made Yun Qi shudder, "I——"
"Didn't you say we would be together forever?" Ling Junyan continued to question him, with a sharp look in his eyes.
Yun Qi immediately explained: "Yes, but..."
"I don't need your but!" Ling Junyan slammed the table and stood up. Yun Qi looked up at him in surprise. Ling Junyan continued, "Queen is just an honorary title given to me through formal marriage. It's not a shackle to force you to be magnanimous. Don't let me hear you try to break your oath again. Do you understand?"
After he finished speaking, Yun Qi paused for a moment before recovering from the shock. His inner thoughts were:? …? …!
"Are you being mean to me?!"
Yun Qi's summary was like a bucket of cold water poured on Ling Junyan, and his anger was instantly extinguished by half.
Ling Junyan was confused for a moment, and then tried to argue: "No..." But it was obviously pale and powerless.
Yun Qi folded his arms and looked at the person in front of him, his eyes full of scrutiny and questioning, "Now that the drunkard and the imperial preceptor are gone, you're bullying me, right?"
Before the drunkard and the national teacher returned to the real world, Yun Qi learned most of what they knew. After all, not everyone can stay there. After Yun Qi recovered his memory, they only stayed there for about a year and a half. Ling Junyan was then handed over to Yun Qi for guidance. Of course, this was entirely Yun Qi's own will.
Normally, Ling Junyan should have explained long ago, but this time, apart from his bad attitude, he didn't feel he had done anything wrong, so he chose to remain silent between arguing and apologizing.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Qi subconsciously began to reflect. After more than ten seconds, he compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it again in the future. Let's be together for the rest of our lives, okay?"
For some reason, Ling Junyan still felt uncomfortable even though Yun Qi's words were clearly a sign of weakness. Perhaps it was because he was seeking opinions rather than making a clear commitment, or perhaps he heard a hint of impatience.
He said, "If you feel embarrassed, then forget it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the palace entrance.
Yun Qi:?
Damn?
"Stand right there!"
Ling Junyan stopped and Yun Qi stood up and walked around to him, but he still refused to believe it.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you feel embarrassed?"
"You know it yourself."
"I don't know! Because I don't feel embarrassed at all! I just said something a little bit submissive to take care of your feelings. Come on, since you are not satisfied, I will say it again. I, Qi Ye, in parentheses, Yun Qi, really want to be with Ling Junyan for the rest of my life! Not only in this life, but also in the next life and the next, I don't want anyone else by your side. You can only be mine. Do you understand?"
Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ling Junyan was happy.
Yun Qi knew that he had been touched by the words when he saw his state.
He still throws tantrums, really.
Yun Qi was helpless but couldn't help but pamper him, and then gave him a chance to ask for something, "Since I said the wrong thing today, what compensation do you want? Tell me."
Yun Qi exuded an air of arrogance, like a wealthy man giving something as a reward.
But what he didn't expect was that the person who received the reward was eyeing all his property.
Yun Qi was immediately picked up by Ling Junyan. Shocked, he hugged Ling Junyan's neck tightly, "No?"
Ling Junyan carried him towards the bed and looked at him and said, "Didn't you say you would compensate me? You want this."
Yun Qi was confused.
Then he was thrown onto the bed, and Ling Junyan pressed down on him.
"We haven't slept together for a long time." Ling Junyan's warm breath fell on Yunqi's neck, his eyes filled with crazy desire. Yunqi's ears turned red and he suddenly felt timid.
"It's only been two days..." Yun Qi hesitated to speak. The scene of the last time was still vivid in his mind. It really tortured him a lot. He finally managed to ease up for two days, but this guy still wanted more.
"Besides, it's broad daylight, it's not good..." Yun Qi made his last struggle, even though there was no outsider here.
"Why is it not good?" Ling Junyan pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
"Well... okay then."
Seeing Ling Junyan about to kiss him, Yun Qi suddenly thought of something and tilted his head, "Wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Ling Junyan's dark eyes locked on him tightly, as if if Yun Qi said anything that displeased him again, the consequences would be a hundred times more serious than they were now.
Yun Qi slowly straightened his head. He didn't regret it, but said, "Can you give me a day off the day after tomorrow? I want to go on a long trip."
"Where are you going?"
"A friend of mine is getting married, and I'm going to give a gift."
"I'm with you."
"No need, I'll be back soon, and I promise to be as quick as possible."
"no."
"Why are you so clingy?"
"Didn't you say you'd introduce me to all your friends? Want to break your promise?"
"Nonsense, I'm talking about my real-world friends."
"I don't care."
"Okay, okay, okay, bring it with you." Yun Qi accepted his fate.
Ling Junyan smiled slightly, and then the two of them acted without hesitation...
