Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart.

Could it be that King Zhao has the ability to read minds?

Otherwise, how could he know what she was thinking?

Hua Manman suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart, and asked cautiously.

"Why would the lord think so? How could the concubine run around with her daughter? Besides, it's too early to have children, so the lord thinks too far."

Li Jing looked at her steadily, and almost told him about his mind reading skills.

Reason made him suppress this idea.

If you let Manman know that he has mind reading skills, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable, and maybe you will alienate him because of fear.

He couldn't tell her the truth rashly.

He had to let her slowly realize the truth herself.

Li Ji said something meaningful.

"I hope you're telling the truth."

Until King Zhao walked away, Hua Manman was still thinking about what King Zhao said just now.

Especially the look in his eyes when he left gave people a feeling of "seeing everything".

It made Huamanman feel his heart fluttering.

Hua Manman called the system in her heart.

"Do you think King Zhao looks weird? Does he already know my secret?"

The system asked back, "What secret can you have?"

Hua Manman: "I have a lot of secrets. For example, I came here through time travel. For example, this world is actually a book. For example, there is a bitch hidden in my body who tries to force me to die. system."

system:"……"

Speak as you speak, why do you attack all over the body?

And why can't the four characters "dog force system" be harmonized?

It wants to complain!

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, a dragon and lion dance competition was held in Shangjing. Almost all the people in the city came to watch, and the scene was very spectacular.

However, Hua Manman stays in Prince Zhao's mansion and doesn't go out.

Because she had a hunch that if she went out tonight, she might meet some people she didn't want to meet.

For example, the fourth prince Li Ying.

When she was a child, she and Li Ying got lost on the Lantern Festival, and it was because of that time that they got involved.

According to the dog blood inertia of the novel, the possibility of Hua Manman going out to meet him tonight is as high as 99.999%.

As long as she doesn't go out, dog blood will never get on her!

Hua Manman threw the cards in his hand forward.

"Wang Zha! Haha, I won!"

On her left was Feihe Daoist, and on her right was Zhao Wang.

The three are playing Fight the Landlords.

May I ask what is the favorite thing for Chinese people to do during the holidays?

Of course it's playing cards!

Hua Manman feels that playing cards, like dragon and lion dances, is an essential part of the festival.

The dragon and lion dances are no longer visible, but the little wish of playing cards can still be fulfilled.

The cards were specially made by Hua Manman, and the patterns on them were drawn by herself. At first, Feihe Zhenren and King Zhao didn’t know how to play cards. After Hua Manman’s guidance, they quickly learned how to play cards. .

In this round, Hua Manman and King Zhao are farmers.

The weak real Feihe was defeated by their "farmer couple".

Hua Manman stretched out her small hand: "Give me money, give me money."

Master Feihe bitterly took out five copper coins.

Suddenly there was the sound of fireworks exploding outside.

Hua Manman immediately threw away the cards and ran out the door.

She looked up and found that in the dark night, fireworks exploded one after another.

"Wow!"

Li Ji and Master Feihe also came out.

They stood on the porch looking up at the night sky.

Not only them, but the servants and guards in the palace also stopped what they were doing at this time, and looked up at the night sky together, admiring the gorgeous and colorful fireworks feast.

The next day at the court meeting, all civil and military officials dressed up and went to Zhengyang Hall.

This is the first official court meeting this year.

It stands to reason that in the new year and new weather, everyone should be in high spirits.

But because of the earthquake and the collapse of the Taimiao on the first day of this year, everyone had a very bad premonition about this year's situation. Even when they went to court, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The emperor announced two things at the court meeting.

The first thing is the truth about the collapse of the Taimiao.

The reason why the Taimiao suddenly collapsed was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

It was because the fifth prince, Li Yan, was ineffective in handling affairs and used low-quality wood as beams, which led to the collapse of the Taimiao.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all had different expressions.

They were a little skeptical at first, how could such an earthquake collapse the Taimiao? Is there something else wrong here?

It now appears that their previous suspicions were correct.

But then again.

Compared with natural disasters, they hope it is a man-made disaster.

Because man-made disasters can be resolved.

As a punishment for his ineffectiveness, the fifth prince, Li Yan, had to use his own hands to rebuild the Taimiao. During this process, he would be temporarily demoted to a commoner, and he would not be able to resume his status as a prince until the reconstruction of the Taimiao was completed.

It is a double torture both physically and mentally for a prince who is spoiled and accustomed to being superior to go to the construction site to move bricks.

All the officials present looked at Liu Ze who was standing in front of the queue.

The emperor also looked at Liu Ze and asked.

"What do you think of this treatment, Ai Qing?"

Liu Ze couldn't see anything strange on his face, and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he handled it properly. I am deeply impressed."

But he was crying in his heart.

The emperor knew that he had a very good relationship with the fifth prince, and they had frequent contacts on weekdays. Now that the fifth prince made such a big mistake, the emperor would probably suspect that he had taught the fifth prince badly.

Parents are like this, they all think that their children are good, even if they make mistakes, it is because the people around them have brought him down.

Liu Ze knew that he was still useful to the emperor now, and the emperor would not touch him in a short time, but in the future, he could not be sure.

If he wanted to keep his current position, he had to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Then the emperor announced the second thing.

"The second prince and the fourth prince are not too young, it's time to open the house."

Everyone was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would suddenly mention this matter.

But thinking about it, it is indeed true. The second prince is now nineteen, and the fourth prince is seventeen. It is indeed not suitable for a prince of this age to live in the palace anymore.

The emperor had already chosen the address.

He asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to build the house, and then asked Si Tiantai to set a good day for moving.

This ended today's court meeting.

Concubine Liu Gui cried hard again when she learned that her precious son was sent to work as a coolie.

This time she did not go to the emperor to intercede.

The last time she knelt in the snow all afternoon, she couldn't see the emperor.

From then on, she understood that the emperor would not change his mind.

No matter how gentle he is in front of her on weekdays, he is still an emperor in essence.

The emperor's heart is colder than a sword.

It's the end of the month again, and the monthly pass will expire if you don't use it~
