Chapter 323 The Queen Participates in Politics
"What are you howling for? Have you forgotten what Big Brother tells you every day: An emperor should behave like an emperor, not scream like a cat all day long?"
Jiang Wan was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Li Chengxiu whined shamelessly.
"There's no one here, so why should I act like an emperor in front of you? Why are you trying to make things difficult for me when I don't even have one?"
"That's a wrong idea. Aren't we supposed to be good role models for our son? If Ah Zhuo grows up and starts to follow our example, what will you do then?"
"No, when he grows up I will pretend to be a very qualified father in front of him, just like my father did in the past."
"You're talking about Father behind his back again. Are you itching to get your ass kicked?"
"No, I just want to tell our son how his grandfather used to be a father, so that he can be more tolerant of his own father in the future."
What kind of lewd words were these mad old father saying? Little Li Rui, who was lying on the bed smacking his lips and playing, spat at his father, which was very appropriate.
"Oh, my dear, look at this little thing! It's like a human being and it even knows how to spit at me!"
"Oh, maybe he's giving you face!"
"Don't praise me, hehehe, it's embarrassing."
Li Chengxiu, who was born with a big heart, overcame the frustration just now. After he came to his senses, he immediately became lively again and played with his wife and children. Jiang Wan also played with him and the children.
A family of three, the room is full of warmth.
The remaining days passed quickly. After the eldest prince's full-month banquet was held, the queen officially came out of confinement and took over the palace power again. By the way, she extended her claws from the harem to the imperial study.
Qin Zhenning looked at his daughter, who was still beautiful and seemed to be in even better spirits, and frowned in strong disapproval.
"My lady, it's not the time yet."
He did not refute whether his daughter's behavior was unreasonable. He was only worried that his daughter would stand in front of the emperor and be criticized and scolded by everyone.
"Spring has hundreds of flowers and autumn has the moon,
There is cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.
If you have nothing to worry about,
It is a good time in the world."
Jiang Wan smiled calmly.
"Sir, do you think this makes sense?"
Qin Zhenning looked at this bright and proud face, which overlapped with the person in his memory. She really looked like her mother, in every way.
He turned to look at the emperor, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by someone with a wave of his hand.
"I advise the Grand Tutor not to give any more advice, it won't work!
You've been teaching me for such a long time, you actually have an idea of whether I can learn it or not, right?
But let me tell you, my wife is completely different from me, she's got a pretty good brain!"
You can tell that the dog emperor is very proud.
"It's the same whether you look at one or both. My wife won't cause trouble for you. If you really feel bad about it, we can just pay two installments later. Is that okay with you?"
Is this a matter of whether or not to pay the tuition?
Lord Qin closed his eyes tiredly, picked up the book, and agreed.
"The way to be a ruler is to know how to employ people and to distinguish between loyalty and treachery..."
In the imperial study, the sound of the Grand Tutor's earnest teachings to Niu Tanqin could be heard again. To be honest, the entire court admired Lord Qin for his loyalty to the country, the emperor, and his duties.
But they didn't know that from today on, a fox would quietly sneak in next to the wild bull in the imperial study and become his classmate, and even started working together as a man and a woman.
Afternoon.
Hongxiu would carefully go in from time to time to replace the tea for her master, and when she came out she couldn't help but take another sneak peek.
The emperor and empress sat on the dragon throne together.
The memorials on the imperial desk were divided into two batches. The empress was reading on the right while the emperor was writing on the left. Their conversation could be heard from time to time.
Oh my God, the queen is participating in politics!
If the ministers in the court knew about this, there would probably be an uproar!
Hongxiu's heart was pounding with excitement and fear, and she quickly turned her head and hurriedly retreated. She and the chief steward, Li Jinzhong, nervously guarded the door to the imperial study, one on each side, ensuring that not even a bug could crawl through.
In the imperial study, the couple were busy as hell.
"Wife, what does it mean?"
"Don't worry about it. It's just a memorial to ask about your well-being. Lord Qinghe thought it was nothing, so he sent a memorial to ask if you were planning to take a concubine."
"What's that old man got up to? He's made a name for himself by following my dad's lead, but now he's out to mock me. Do I eat his food? Why would he be so nosy?"
"Stop cursing. It's not worth getting angry with someone who can't make sense. Just stamp it to indicate you've read it."
After a few casual chats, Jiang Wan continued to work on the front lines of the memorials. As she said before, as a medical student, her literary skills were only so-so. If it weren't for Lord Qin's extra time and tutoring, she would have had a hard time understanding these flowery memorials!
Li Chengxiu took out a small seal from the wooden box at hand, pressed it on the ink pad and then dropped it on the memorial. A bright red "READ" popped out lively and cheerfully.
He couldn't help but give his wife a big compliment for her extremely smart brain.
"Wife, you're so clever, so resourceful! Hehehe, I used to have to write down these long and tedious letters one by one. Now I can just press them down. Why didn't I think of this earlier?"
"If you can think of it, then you won't need me anymore, right?"
"It's useful, it's useful. My wife is the smartest person in the world! Not only is she smart, but she's also beautiful and so capable. Hehehehehe, I'm so lucky. I finally get to spend money in this life!"
"Look at you, you're so stupid! I told you not to laugh like that. You don't sound like a good person. Villains die because they talk too much, and cannon fodder die because they have no brains. Hurry up and get to work!"
He pushed the flipped memorial in his hand in front of him and pointed to the blank space for the message.
"The Ministry of Works has a memorial stating that they're planning to repair the river next year. They're asking for your approval. If you approve, they'll bring it up at the next grand court meeting so everyone can discuss it."
Li Chengxiu took it and looked at it, frowning and thinking carefully.
"If I remember correctly, it was repaired last year?"
“Yes, it has been repaired.”
Jiang Wan sighed and helped him recall.
"But have you forgotten? Back then, a major case was uncovered at the River Administration Office, where officials from top to bottom colluded to embezzle river silver. Father had many corrupt officials executed.
If they embezzled all the silver from the river channel, would the river channel they built still be useful?"
"That old bastard Song Qingshan! His death was too easy for him. Look at the mess he left behind for me! Damn it, if he pissed me off that day, I'd dig up his Song family's ancestral grave!"
The emperor, whose memories were all brought back to him, cursed while picking up the imperial brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and wrote the word "approval" on the memorial with a fierce look.
