Chapter 169 – Feasibility of the Plan
“Isn’t it tiring to be an emperor?” Between the emperor’s gazing, the young girl suddenly turned around. “Every day, in addition to dealing with political affairs, you also have to live in peace.” One also has to watch out for her.
The Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked away from the moon in the sky, “It’s also okay. The person who carries the responsibility, which one can be relaxed? Farmers who plant their fields, worrying about the harvest, aren’t they tired? The generals who fight wars are worried about the border defense and have to be vigilant at all times, they are also tired. Even the businessman, also have to consider the input and return, lost to the family all the money is not a lot of people, in short, pay after the harvest on the line. If you have something to gain, then you are qualified to comfort yourself better.”
That’s true!
Zhao Su listened to him and nodded heartily. Stroking her waist-length dog-tail grass a few times, she continued, “It seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen you say such a long string of words.”
“That’s because you haven’t seen the world, I guess.”
The Emperor raised his lips and continued to walk forward.
Zhao Su looked at his back and also raised his dogtails to follow.
Just now, when he talked about the matter of crossing over, he thought that he still had a lot of words to ask, and he was all prepared for it, and he actually stopped asking? And it looks like the mood is not bad? This is the chest is ready, or intend to next time to continue to ask?
It’s true that a man’s heart is like a needle in the bottom of the sea!
Seeing the river bank in the moored boat, she suddenly stopped and asked, “Emperor you have sat on the boat?”
The emperor followed her direction and looked over, only to see that three or four small two-story boats had already leaned together on the water bank below; the boats were exquisite, and through the open windows, one could see that they were well furnished inside, and there were boatmen propped up on bamboo poles yelling from the bow of the boat – at a glance, they were not the cargo boats that should be found at the docks.
“What is this for?” He asked.
“A boat for pleasure.” Zhao Su looked interested, “There are always merchant or government boats stopping at the canal wharf, and these boats are for the literati and the rich to enjoy themselves when they moor at night. They can drink tea, enjoy the moon, and listen to music!”
The emperor looked at her, “You’ve been on one?”
“I haven’t been on it, but I’ve heard Yun Qianyi talk about it.”
Yun Xiangyi that gossip savant, eating, drinking and playing these things on what she does not know? Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to draw any illustrations of beautiful men. To know this kind of small boat in addition to sell art beauty, there are also accompanied by the guests of the beautiful man ah!
Thinking of this she said, “Your Majesty, why don’t I invite you up for a cup of tea?”
A look at him is also never been on a boat, this kind of place normally she wouldn’t dare to come, Marquis Qingyun and Zhao Sum surely won’t bring her here, it’s rare to have an emperor on the side, what a great opportunity!
The emperor laughed a little, “You settle the bill?”
“I’ll settle the bill just as I’ll settle the bill!”
The emperor lightly slapped her forehead, “What are you thinking? Dare to abduct me to go to the moon-lit place, when the time comes, the magistrate will not only have to give me a lesson, but also have to put you and your father in a book as well!”
Zhao Su’s eyes turned: “Heaven knows, you know, I know, how can the magistrate know!”
“A gentleman is prudent, not seeing doesn’t mean you can act presumptuously. — Go, it’s getting late, go back to the post house!”
The Emperor turned around after saying that.
Zhao Su gave an oh, but his eyes were still reluctant to look towards the cabin, but he was grabbed by the emperor’s wrist and taken away directly.
……
No one in the post house knew that they had come to the supreme leader of Da Liang, everything was quiet as usual, only the extremely experienced post director could see that the emperor had an extraordinary temperament, and deliberately made some thoughtful arrangements, which included arranging an upper room for him like the Miss Marquis Qingyun’s house, which made it problematic that the upper rooms were all in the same place, and Zhao Su and the emperor had become neighbors!
“You don’t snore when you sleep, do you?” Zhao Su thought of this. This room wasn’t as soundproof as modern buildings, not to mention that even modern buildings had ones that weren’t soundproof.
The emperor looked at her askance, “Come over as a personal palace maid this night and serve for a night and you won’t know?”
Zhao Su whooshed back into the room and closed the door behind her!
The emperor raised his lips and also pushed the door inside.
In order to perfect the content of tomorrow’s paperwork, Wu Lanfeng drafted several copies of the constitution with Cheng Yunhui and several shopkeepers before returning to the Lin family.
When she arrived home, it was late at night, she passed water into her room as usual, intending to rest early, and tomorrow morning, she could also rush to the stagecoach house early, looking for Zhao Su to meet, asking her to help with the content of the paperwork. Zhao Su, after all, is a marquis lady, but also the imperial guards, the court can give her help to what extent, she is bound to be more than their own number.
Only just after unloading the hairpin bad, the courtyard door came creaking, and then the lantern light also came in, husband Lin Xie appeared inside the room door.
Wu Lanfeng’s eyes stared at him for half a moment, calmly retracted and continued to comb her hair.
Lin Xie walked to her side: “You’ve been running to Wu’s house a lot lately.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Wu Lanfeng looked at him in the mirror, “That is my mother’s house. Moreover, the Wu family’s property will be mine, isn’t it only right to be filial to my mother and then worry about my own family’s property by the way?”
Lin Xie looked indifferent: “I don’t care about your family property, but I heard that recently your Wu family often has foreign men coming in and out, and it so happens that you are not at home from time to time, so don’t give me any bad news by then!”
Wu Lanfeng smiled, “Isn’t that just right? If I have a bad reputation, you can just use that as a reason to expel me from the hall.” She finished cleaning up and got up to walk towards him, “But I’ll have to let you down, all the ‘foreign men’ as you call them that came to the house are not just one or two. And to talk about bad reputation, I’m only afraid that your reputation is a bit dirtier.”
Lin Xie’s face chilled, a stranglehold on her wrist, “At first, I blamed my blindness, I didn’t even see how sinister you are, if I had known that you are such a person, how could I have gotten into this marriage!”
“Isn’t it too late?” Wu Lanfeng said, “We can’t go back again.”
Lin Xie’s gaze paused at the words “can’t go back”, then he glared at him through clenched teeth and flung the curtain away.
Wu Lanfeng was calm throughout, stroking her instantly red wrist and going to wash her face.
The maid came over with medicinal oil and applied it to her wrist while saying worriedly, “Third Master is simply being unreasonable, he’s already like this, will Grandma’s plan still work?”
Wu Lanfeng silently looked at her slightly swollen wrist and shook her head, “I don’t know.” Adding, “Perhaps I should have endured just now.”
“How is this to be endured ah, since being mesmerized by Aunt Liu, Third Master is like a different person, it’s too chilling. If it weren’t for the fact that the Wu family still has a few uncles to help support them, he still doesn’t know what he’s going to do to grandma!”
“Let him be. These days won’t last long anyway. Why bother letting him disturb your mind?” Wu Lanfeng decisively put her medicated wrist into her sleeve, “I forgot to ask Miss Su about the eunuch doctor today, I’ll ask again tomorrow, treating a dead horse as a living horse, try my best to do it first.”
