Guan Zhiyue and Xiao Tuantuan searched the space for an unknown amount of time before finally finding it in the far corner of the study.
A book that integrates the construction of reservoirs and dams.
"Let me see how this dam for the water storage project should be built," Guan Zhiyue said as she flipped through the pages.
Finally, I found some information about the construction process and drawings of the "Dujiangyan Irrigation System".
"Wow, it really exists? This is absolutely amazing!"
"I thought there wouldn't be one! Now all I need to do is draw it based on this first;"
Then, based on the actual situation in Sihuangzhou, we can make some modifications, and then our project can be completed!
Guan Zhiyue was very excited and couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiao Tuantuan. Xiao Tuantuan was also infected by her excitement.
He said happily, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
"Haha, congratulations to you too! I need to draw up blueprints and write a project plan now. Little Tuantuan, you can go play by yourself first!"
Guan Zhiyue took out a pencil from the side and gently sharpened it with a pencil sharpener.
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue was indeed busy with important matters, Xiao Tuantuan didn't disturb her and went off to play by herself.
Meanwhile, Li Qiji, who was outside the space, became worried after returning to his tent and not seeing Guan Zhiyue.
After searching around but not finding her, he suddenly remembered something and stopped looking. Instead, he stayed in the tent, waiting for Guan Zhiyue to appear.
While people in Sihuangzhou were busy catching locusts, Li Qishang in the palace in the capital was also having a major headache.
This is absolutely outrageous! Especially when the Emperor went missing a few days ago, some idiot ministers actually tried to persuade him to take the throne!
Holy crap! What's going on?
Don't they want to live? How could they let a leisurely prince like him rule the country?
Isn't that like a landlubber trying to swim—a sure path to certain death?
Cining Palace.
"Mother, your beloved Qi Shang has arrived!!!" As soon as Li Qi Shang arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, he began to shout inside.
Empress Dowager Xin, who was meditating and chanting sutras inside, heard Li Qishang's voice and immediately opened her eyes, asking the nanny Jin beside her to help her up.
"Oh my, my precious darling has come to see this old man!" Empress Dowager Xin said with a smile.
Granny Fan and Granny Jin, who were standing nearby, also smiled and said, "Our Prince Xiaoyao has been filial since he was a child. He always comes to see the Empress Dowager."
"Granny, are you talking badly about me again? I heard everything!" Li Qishang suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand.
He looked at the two old women and said in a very mischievous voice.
Everyone in the room quickly bowed to Li Qishang.
Empress Dowager Xin dismissed the servants and looked at Li Qishang, saying, "Shang'er, what brings you to visit your mother today?"
Li Qishang grabbed Empress Dowager Xin's leg and knelt down in front of her, saying, "Mother, those ministers, they lack martial virtue!"
Empress Dowager Xin was surprised. What happened? She hadn't been paying attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, so what had happened now?
"Shang'er, what happened?"
Li Qishang, with one arm around Empress Xin's leg and the other waving a fan, began to ramble on and on about his complaints.
After listening, Empress Dowager Xin pondered for a long time before finally saying slowly, "Shang'er, I don't know what you think."
But what your mother hopes for is that you and your elder brother will never become enemies!
"Whatever happened between you two, talk it out."
We're all family. You and your elder brother were both children I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. I don't want to see you brothers fighting each other.
Upon hearing Empress Dowager Xin's words, Li Qishang stopped fanning himself, embraced Xin Peilin's legs with both hands, and rested his head on Empress Dowager Xin's lap.
He had a million grievances in his heart, but he couldn't say them, because she was his sister-in-law, and that was a dream he had already missed!
"Mother, rest assured, my brother and I will never turn against each other, and you know that too."
I have absolutely no interest in this throne; my interest lies entirely in the mountains and rivers.
In the vast and free world, this palace is nothing more than a small, confined space to me!
Empress Dowager Xin suddenly thought of something, reached out and placed her hand on Li Qishang's head, stroking it lightly, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.
In the end, I finally voiced the question that had been bothering me.
"Shang'er, your mother has a question for you. Will you answer her truthfully?"
This was the first time Li Qishang had heard Empress Dowager Xin speak to him in such a gentle and delicate voice.
This aroused his curiosity, and he raised his head to look at Empress Dowager Xin with a curious yet bewildered gaze.
"Mother, please speak!"
Empress Dowager Xin took a deep breath and said, "A fair maiden is sought after by gentlemen. I have witnessed the changes in Yue'er since she married into the royal family more than half a year ago."
"No matter what happened between you and her, she's still your sister-in-law. Just let it go!"
Li Qishang was stunned for a long time after hearing his mother's words. His mother knew about the secret that he had hidden so well, which even his elder brother did not know.
"Mother, what are you saying? I don't understand," Li Qishang stammered.
This is a secret he kept buried in his heart. How could this be?
"Silly Shang'er, I am your mother. You can hide it from your brother, but you can't hide it from me!" Empress Dowager Xin patted her second son's shoulder with great affection.
She was really troubled! Both of her beloved sons had fallen for the same girl, and what could she, as a mother, do?
“Look at Yue’er, that girl’s eyes are full of smiles. Your mother isn’t old and blind yet, I can still see it.”
"Let it go! You and she won't end up together! Blame it on not being meant to be!"
After hearing Empress Dowager Xin's words, Li Qishang felt a void in his heart and felt extremely sad!
He stood up from the ground, looking utterly dejected, and staggered away from the Cining Palace.
The two people far away in Sihuangzhou were unaware of everything that was happening in the capital.
It was getting dark, and the people who had been busy all day finally caught all the locusts.
Everything that needed to be fried was fried, everything edible was eaten, and even the inedible was fried in oil and fed to the poultry.
Guan Zhiyue finally finished drawing the blueprints inside the space.
He excitedly grabbed the blueprints and flashed out of the space, heading to find Li Qiji to discuss this matter.
When Li Qiji saw that Guan Zhiyue had finally returned, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and looked her up and down.
Seeing that she was alright, he said with relief, "Yue'er, you can't just disappear without telling me anymore."
"I was so worried about you. I came back and couldn't find you. I looked all over but couldn't find you."
I realized you must have gone there, which is why I didn't make a fuss and search for you everywhere.
Guan Zhiyue waved her hand and handed the blueprints in her hand to Li Qiji.
Li Qiji asked curiously as he opened it, "What is this? It's so mysterious, and it's rolled up... Ah! This is, this..."
"Hmm! How about it? Is this thing any good?"
Without even looking up, Li Qiji stared at the drawing in his hand and exclaimed in admiration, "If it is truly as you have drawn, Yue'er, then this entire area within a hundred miles can be protected!"
“Yes, so you can arrange for someone to carry it out!” Guan Zhiyue said.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Li Qiji embraced Guan Zhiyue tightly, holding her close in his arms. "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
