Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The butler hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking.

"King Zhao, do you want to send someone to send a New Year's gift?"

Princess Rouwan finally responded this time.

She raised her head and looked at the butler coldly.

"It was he who killed the Duke, why should I give him an annual gift? Is he worthy?"

The butler shut his mouth and left silently.

The entire town government is lifeless.

In contrast, Prince Zhao's Mansion is much more lively.

When night fell, Hua Manman took out the firecrackers that he had prepared long ago, and played in the yard.

After the firecracker was ignited, she jumped up and ran to the side in a panic, and accidentally bumped into King Zhao's arms.

Li Ji raised his hand to cover her ears.

After the firecracker exploded, it made a crackling sound.

But because her ears were covered, those noises were all far away from her.

She raised her head, and her eyes just hit King Zhao's black eyes.

Those black eyes were like the midsummer night sky, with thousands of stars hidden in them, and tenderness that was almost overflowing.

Hua Manman smiled brightly at him.

"Happy New Year's Eve."

Li Ji also smiled: "Happy New Year's Eve."

Before going to bed, Hua Manman did not forget to hand over the purse she had prepared long ago.

This purse was made by herself, and the workmanship was much better than that of the green purse last time. It was made of bright red satin with green patterns embroidered on it.

Or the terrible red and green.

Li Ji couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to embroider a green flower?"

How much does this woman want to stain him with green?

Hua Manman explained: "This isn't a flower, it's a bamboo shoot. Aren't bamboo shoots green?"

Li Ji stared at the purse for a while, but he really couldn't see that the green ball was bamboo shoots.

He couldn't understand: "Why bamboo shoots?"

Others usually embroider some flowers, plants, or small animals on their purses, and even a few words can be embroidered no matter how bad they are.

It was the first time he saw someone embroidering bamboo shoots.

Even if she embroiders a bamboo leaf!

Hua Manman explained seriously.

"Because I think you are especially suitable for bamboo shoots."

The dog man usually talks very badly, and often launches bamboo shoot attacks regardless of enemy or friend.

Truly the well-deserved King of Bamboo Shoots!

Li Ji who heard her voice: "..."

This woman is too modest.

In terms of hurting others, how can he compare to her? !

Li Ji took a deep breath: "Forget about the bamboo shoots, why is the purse made of red?"

Red and green are really eye-catching!

Hua Manman spoke eloquently: "For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, red is festive!"

What else could Li Ji do?

After all, it was the concubine whom he tried his best to marry, so he could only admit it.

Hua Manman stretched out her little paw: "If you need lucky money for Chinese New Year, what about the concubine's lucky money?"

Li Ji was already ready.

He put a heavy gold ingot into her hand.

He actually has more valuable things, but based on what he knows about her, she should prefer golden gold.

Hua Manman was so happy that she couldn't put it down while holding the gold ingot.

There are at least twelve taels of such a heavy gold ingot.

"Thank you, my lord!"

So much money is enough for her to buy a lot of beautiful dresses and delicious food.

...

In the dead of night, Hua Manman was soundly asleep when she suddenly felt the bed board under her body move.

She opened her eyes bewilderedly.

Li Ji was already awake at this time.

He touched the bed under him and found that it was really shaking.

Not only that, but the other furniture in the room were shaking slightly.

It's Dilong turning over!

Li Ji immediately pulled Hua Manman up.

"Wake up, there's an earthquake!"

Hua Manman was so frightened by the word "earthquake" that he woke up all of a sudden.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, shoes and socks, and ran out with King Zhao.

When they ran to the yard, they found that other people in the palace were also awake, all of them looked flustered and their hair was disheveled.

Chen Wangbei quickly ran to King Zhao.

"My lord, it should be Dilong turning around, what should we do?"

Hua Manman hurriedly said, "Hurry up and find an empty place to stay."

There is a school yard in the backyard of the Wangfu, where the terrain is flat and very empty.

So everyone went to the school grounds.

There was nothing in the school grounds, and everyone could only stand there in a daze.

Although it wasn't snowing, the wind was so cold that it hurt like a bone scraper on the face.

Li Ji hugged Hua Manman into his arms, and wrapped her in his coat, which would make her feel warmer.

After experiencing the initial panic, Hua Manman has gradually calmed down.

She felt that although the ground under her feet was shaking, the magnitude of the vibration was not large, and the magnitude of the earthquake was obviously very low.

An earthquake of this magnitude should be nothing serious.

But to be on the safe side, she still asked everyone to stay in the school grounds and observe again.

The earthquake only lasted for half an hour before disappearing.

After confirming that the ground had returned to calm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Winter nights are too cold, and if you stay outside any longer, you may catch a cold.

Hua Manman asked everyone to go back first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow morning.

When Hua Manman and Li Ji returned to the house, they found that the tea set on the table had been shaken and shifted from its original position, and a vase had fallen from the shelf and shattered into several petals.

Other than that everything remains the same.

Hua Manman and Li Ji bypassed the broken porcelain on the floor and sat down on the bed.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this time it was only a small earthquake and did not cause much danger.

Li Ji touched her cold fingers.

"Go to bed first."

"Um."

However, after experiencing the earthquake just now, how can Hua Manman sleep?

She huddled in King Zhao's arms, her mind was full of thoughts about the earthquake.

Now that the earthquake happened, what about the Taimiao? Has it collapsed?

Tomorrow morning the emperor will take people to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors. If he finds that the Taimiao has collapsed, wouldn't he be furious?

I always feel that tomorrow will be a very restless day.

Just after dawn, people from Jingzhao Mansion knocked on the door of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

They came to ask Zhaowang Mansion if anyone was injured in the earthquake last night?

After getting the answer of no, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion left in a hurry, and they had to go to the next house.

After breakfast, Li Ji and Hua Manman changed their clothes and took a carriage to the palace.

Hua Manman looks out through the car window.

The houses in the street were found to be almost entirely intact.

The earthquake last night had little impact on the people in Shangjing.

It was a blessing in disguise.

After the emperor was woken up by the earthquake last night, he has not slept, and his nerves are tense.

Dilong turns over...

Especially when the earth dragon turned over at the feet of the emperor.

This is tantamount to a warning from heaven.

As the emperor, he bears the brunt of the responsibility.

An edict of guilt is indispensable.

But what he is most worried about right now is the damage caused by the earth dragon turning over.

After searching overnight by the Jingzhao Mansion and the City Defense Department, the results were finally counted. In this earthquake, a total of five people were injured.

Four of them were injured because they were too flustered when they escaped.

Only one person was injured by the house.
