Xiao Yi was dealing with government affairs, and his hand was getting tired from reviewing documents, so he looked up and gazed resentfully at his Empress Zhang Qing.
At this moment, Zhang Qing was also handling official business, but unlike Xiao Yi, she was facing a computer.
Since the widespread adoption of electricity, research institutes have been producing all sorts of strange and wonderful things, and this thing called a computer is one of them.
However, due to the complexity and precision of the parts, it cannot yet be widely available throughout the entire Jin Dynasty; it is only found in the capital and some wealthy prefectures and counties.
Although Xiao Yi was the emperor, he was very confident in his wife's abilities, so there was no need to bring up the matter of the harem not interfering in politics in front of him.
However, no one dared to speak up against Zhang Qing's interference in politics.
Thanks to the research institute, the idea that women can hold up half the sky is no longer just an empty phrase. Not only can Zhang Qing and Xiao Yi manage national affairs together, but there are also many female officials in the imperial court.
Xiao Yi approached Zhang Qing and said resentfully, "It's not fair."
Zhang Qing was busy, so she didn't even look up. "What?"
He speaks concisely and to the point.
"I want to use the computer too."
Xiao Yi felt even more resentful. There was only one computer in the entire palace, so why wouldn't Zhang Qing let him touch it? He was the emperor!
With this in mind, Xiao Yi felt much more confident.
Zhang Qing finally looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Do you need to use the computer?"
Xiao Yi felt a little guilty when asked, but after thinking about how he was the emperor, he swept away his guilt and nodded seriously, "Yes, I need to use the computer."
"Growing vegetables?"
Zhang Qing asked with a smile, and Xiao Yi blushed.
Chuanyu and her friends developed a game where, after registering an account, you could grow vegetables and herd sheep. He registered an account, had a vegetable patch, and planted quite a few vegetables.
Uh... Last time, when he was handling government affairs on his computer, he slacked off and started playing games to farm crops. He even stole a cabbage from the Minister of Revenue's vegetable garden (each of the six ministers had a computer). Who knew that Zhang Qing would catch him red-handed.
From then on, Zhang Qing was able to legitimately prevent him from touching the computer and monopolize it herself.
When the topic turned to his slacking off at work, Xiao Yi's attitude softened, and he pleaded, "Qing'er, I know I was wrong. I promise, I only use the computer for official business, and I won't secretly use it to grow vegetables."
Zhang Qing rolled her eyes at him. After being married for twenty or thirty years, she knew exactly what kind of person he was. She refused, saying, "No way. Didn't you see the warning in the game? Games are fun, but you can't get addicted."
She knew Xiao Yi wouldn't get addicted, but she hadn't had enough of the computer yet, so it was just an excuse.
Xiao Yi wanted to say something, but after being glanced at by Zhang Qing, he shut up and went back to his seat, looking as resentful as a bullied little wife.
Zhang Qing smiled inwardly and continued to handle official business. Then he saw an email pop up in the lower right corner, which was a report on Xiao Huai taking up a job at the train station.
Zhang Qing then called Xiao Yi over to take a look, and Xiao Yi rushed over immediately.
After reading the email, both of them frowned and pondered.
"I don't think my third brother will give up."
Xiao Yi knew Xiao Huai somewhat; Xiao Huai's ambition wouldn't be so easily extinguished, and he was sure to cause some trouble this time. However, the Great Jin Dynasty was no longer the Great Jin of the past, and Xiao Huai couldn't stir up any waves.
Besides, the couple had made preparations for letting him out.
"Just keep an eye on him."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Zhang Qing nodded and replied with "read," indicating his agreement.
After replying, Xiao Yi lingered, reluctant to go back, his eyes lingering on the computer screen. But after being glared at by Zhang Qing, he had no choice but to obediently return and revise his paper memorials.
However, just before dinner, Zhang Qing called Xiao Yi over to play games for a while. Xiao Yi was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears. He stole all the vegetable gardens of the six ministers and even swindled two sheep from the Minister of Works.
During dinner, Zhang Qing picked up a piece of green vegetable and asked the three children, "It's Dean Chuanyu's birthday in a couple of days. Have you thought about what gift to give him?"
There are three children, two girls and one boy. The boy is the oldest, and he is seventeen this year. The two girls are fifteen and fourteen respectively.
The girls' school used to only admit female students, but now it admits both boys and girls. So now all three children are studying at the academy, and Chuanyu is their teacher.
"We are all ready."
The three laughed and said that they remembered their teacher's birthday.
Zhang Qing and Xiao Yi exchanged a smile. Their three children were doing well academically and were all promising. They had inherited their good character from their parents, so they were sure they would be just as good. They were at ease entrusting the future of the Great Jin Dynasty to them.
On the train, Xiao Huai, now in uniform, pushed a small cart, his face flushed, but he didn't shout out for sunflower seeds, drinks, or mineral water!
Not only did he not shout, but he also had a long face. Some people wanted to buy some snacks, but seeing his expression, they didn't dare to buy them, and soon someone complained about him.
Xiao Huai was called into the workroom for a lecture. "Xiao Xiao, this isn't difficult. Just shout, 'Sunflower seeds, drinks, mineral water! Come on, move your feet in a bit. Anyone want some local specialties?'"
As they were talking, the flight attendant supervisor even gave him a demonstration on the spot, which made Xiao Huai's face turn even redder. He really couldn't shout it out.
He eventually approached Erzhu and suggested that they find him a different job.
Erzhu saw that he was shy, so he gave him a different job, which was doing odd jobs like cleaning up trash on the truck.
Although it still didn't suit his temperament as the Third Prince, he could barely accept it without having to say a word.
