The Submissive Emperor

Although Xiao Chengjun did not go to the court, the news from the court could not be cut off. He was away from the mansion for a day, and many letters had already been sent to him waiting for his review.

"My lord, my son has gone to Shen Lian's mansion." Someone came to the study to report in a low voice.

"Let him go." Xiao Chengjun's hand holding the pen paused for a moment, and then continued without raising his head from the beginning to the end.

The person who came to report the news stepped back tactfully, he was already hesitant about how much to report the whereabouts of Prince An Guo.

It didn't take long for Lou Jing to come back by herself, called to help, but in fact made trouble and moved to the desk.

"Stop making trouble," Xiao Chengjun patted the guy who was rubbing against him, "Don't you have to deal with family affairs tomorrow? Are you still staying here tonight?"

"I just did a great thing, and I can only go back if His Highness rewards me." Lou Jing said with a smile.

Xiao Chengjun looked at him and smiled slightly, "That depends on whether it's worth the reward."

In order to get her husband's reward, Lou Jing triumphantly explained everything she did tonight.

"Hahaha, you really..." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help laughing out loud, instigating Shen Lian to stop the conscripting, thanks to him thinking of it.

"Report to the lord, Shen Lian has gone to the palace." Just as he was speaking, the person who brought the news hurried in to report.

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing. Thinking of Shen Lian's loyal and patriotic appearance, the expression on Emperor Chunde's face must be very exciting.

Waving her hands to let the messenger go, Lou Jing bit the ear of the person in her arms and said softly: "Is this worth rewarding?"

"It's worth it," Xiao Chengjun asked pretending not to know without putting down the pen in his hand, "What reward do you want?"

Lou Jing reached into the moon-white prince's uniform, and rubbed a small bean with her fingertips through the fabric, "I want Your Highness..."

"Okay," Xiao Chengjun grabbed the hand out of his clothes, and wrote the word "Jun" in the palm of his hand, "I'll give it to you."

The slightly cool pen tip passed across the palm of his hand, itching, Lou Jing raised his hand to look at the words in his hand, he started the pen aggressively, closed the pen restrained, calm and dignified, hidden dragons, but the body of an emperor!So he smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness wrote his name on the body of the minister, so that he wants to become one with the minister?"

"I..." Xiao Chengjun didn't know how to answer the words immediately.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Lou Jing picked him up and decided to enjoy his reward.

"Hmm...let me down." Xiao Chengjun was startled, and immediately struggled to get down. If a servant looked at this posture, what would it be?

Lou Jing obediently put the man on the soft bed in the study, and pressed on it herself, looking for the lips that were about to scold him, and kissed them.

"My lord, I'm here to bring tea." Anshun said outside the door with tea in his hand. Since Lou Jing came here every night, he had to notify before entering any place where the two of them were alone.

"Hmm..." Xiao Chengjun trembled, and caught Lou Jing's teasing hand on him, his open chest heaved rapidly, "Stop making trouble."

Lou Jing showed a smirk of unknown meaning, let her hands be clenched, leaned over to hold a pink particle in her mouth, and slowly pulled it upwards.

"Hmm..." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but snorted.

Anshun withdrew half of his foot that had already stepped on the threshold, raised his hand to cover the door, and stood outside the door quite naturally.

"No one will see it now," Lou Jing smiled and moved her body upwards, rubbing against His Highness King Min, "I can receive the reward now."

Xiao Chengjun glared at him angrily, but those dark eyes were stained with lust due to the teasing earlier, this stare was half angry and half angry, which made Lou Jing's lower abdomen tighten, and backhanded King Min. His Highness pressed his hands to the top of his head.

The moment of entering, it is inevitable that there will still be pain, Xiao Chengjun was afraid that Anshun outside the door would hear it, so he had to bite his lower lip.This movement was stopped by Lou Jing in time, she bit his lips, swallowed the painful moan, kissed his eyes softly, waited for him to get used to it, then supported his shoulders, and moved with confidence.

Anshun stood outside the door, stopped Le Xian who went in to deliver snacks, and pulled him to guard the door together.

There was no sound in the room, except for a few suppressed gasps occasionally, and it was hard to tell who the voice was, but it was enough to make the two young eunuchs blushed and took a step outside in unison.

Le Xian looked up at the sky, ah, the moonlight is really good tonight.

Anshun saw that he was watching seriously, so he also looked up, the clouds were covering the top, and he couldn't even see a single star...

The next day, early morning.

The right chancellor, Chen Shichang, once again mentioned the construction of the river channel, and presented the regulations drafted by the Ministry of Industry, "I will revise the regulations completely at night, please look over them."

Emperor Chunde took the charter and looked at it casually, "The supervisor, the right minister recommended Shen Lian?"

"That's right," Chancellor Chen Shichang bowed and said, "Eunuch Shen is extremely capable and thoughtful, and he is the most suitable for this matter."

"Shen Lian can indeed undertake this task, but..." Emperor Chunde put together the charter and threw it on the imperial case, "I'm afraid the people will be dissatisfied with the corvee."

"Since ancient times, corvee service has been the same as military service, and it is the duty of the common people. Now in a peaceful and prosperous age, there are not many military services. The people must be loyal to the emperor, and they should serve the country by performing corvee service." Standing in the center of the hall, Chen Shichang said in a loud voice. Said.

Shen Lian glanced at the pious Chen Shichang, and secretly scolded the old thief for his good words, why didn't he do such a good job by himself?It was obvious that he was going to push him into the fire pit!

"Your Majesty, I think that corvee is not an option!" Shen Lian suddenly came out of the queue and said in a gloomy voice.

Chen Shichang was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head stiffly to look at Shen Lian who had suddenly turned against him.

But Shen Lian ignored Prime Minister Right's ghostly expression, lifted his clothes and knelt down and said, "I was born in poverty, and I know the hardships of corvee the most. Qingzhou just had a flood, and the people are already pitiful enough. criticized by the people."

Left Prime Minister Zhao Duan looked at Eunuch Shen who "serves the people wholeheartedly", and couldn't help but look outside the gate of the main hall, wondering if the sun came out from the west today.

No wonder Master Zuo Xiang thought this way, in fact, all the ministers in the hall looked at each other with expressions of "am I dreaming".

Zhao Duan was the first to react, and stepped forward to stand next to Shen Lian, "I think what Eunuch Shen said is very true. Since ancient times, the harm of corvee has been comparable to floods and locust disasters. Qingzhou has a large population. Once mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Your Majesty, the tax money will arrive in Beijing next month. There will be no corvees, but it will cost more money. It is the best policy to use the money to ensure peace in the world." The Minister of the Ministry of Households came out and said.

"Hiring labor only costs 20 taels of silver. Now that the national treasury is full and the world is peaceful, the mere amount is really not a big deal." Shen Lian lowered his head when he heard the words, and suppressed the corners of his mouth that could not help but echo, "The emperor is a wise man who governs the world. Will do things like using refugees as corvee."

Hearing the last sentence, the right minister Chen Shichang's face completely darkened. Refugees are used as corvees. Although this is done, it cannot be said that way. The Ministry of Industry has always mentioned the use of corvees to resettle refugees. Once this statement is reversed, it will be From benefiting the country and the people to harming the people.

"Since that's the case, this matter will be handed over to the supervisor of Shen Lian, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households will be in charge. Don't mention the matter of corvee. The refugees from Qingzhou will be resettled by the Minister of Finance." Emperor Chunde waved his hand and stopped talking to everyone. Opportunity, throw your sleeves and retreat.

Chen Shichang walked up to Shen Lian with a dark complexion, and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Lian cast a gloomy glance at him, and said with a smile: "Our family just doesn't want to bear the blame."

The right minister's face didn't soften at all, but became more and more ugly, "How are you doing?"

"The right minister was joking," Shen Lian flicked the dust on his sleeve, and turned his vagina, "Our family and your lord are on the same rope, what is your lord afraid of?"

Lou Jing woke up from her dream contentedly, and kissed the person in her arms on the cheek.

"Hmm... what time is it?" Xiao Chengjun asked in a daze without opening his eyes.

"It's early, you don't have to go to court today, sleep a little longer." Lou Jing coaxed softly.

Xiao Chengjun frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a face with a too bright smile, recalling what happened in the study last night, a little annoyed, pushed that head away, turned over and fell asleep.

"I have to go back to the Duke's mansion. It was agreed today that the Wei family will be sent to the farm. I have to go back and have a look, so as not to make any mistakes." Lou Jing said, grabbing His Royal Highness King Min's shoulder.

"En." Xiao Chengjun responded, but didn't say any more. He was thinking about how to discipline the future queen in the future. It would not be a good thing to go on like this.

"Chengjun, don't bother me," Lou Jing didn't intend to let His Royal Highness the King of Min think wildly, and leaned his head into his neck, "As long as I get close to you, I can't contain my joy. If you don't want to, I...I won't force you..." Saying this, her tone was a little low.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengjun felt a little sore in his heart, and sighed lightly, he couldn't blame him completely for this matter, he couldn't help himself if he let him do what he did.Thinking about it like this, I also felt a little happy in my heart, isn't Lou Jing's obsession with him just because of his love for him?

"Can you come back for lunch at noon?" Xiao Chengjun asked.

Lou Jing's eyes lit up immediately, hid Xiao Chengjun's face behind his head, raised a triumphant smile, and hurriedly responded: "No, I will invite Uncle Qingyang to drink at noon, and I will come back at night."

Talking about leaving, Lou Jing lay on the bed for a long time, holding Xiao Chengjun from behind and dawdling until His Royal Highness King Min couldn't bear it anymore, and he reluctantly left the warm bed.

First went to Beiya to order a Mao, then ate two cages of soup dumplings and a bowl of glutinous rice porridge at the roadside stall, and then returned to Anguo Gong's mansion in a leisurely manner.

Wei Shi actually wanted to spend the New Year in the mansion before going to the Zhuangzi. After all, she is now in charge of Zhongfu, and the New Year is a time when there are many things. She originally thought that as long as she didn't go out to meet guests, but when Lou Jing returned home, she was completely satisfied. Her plan was disrupted, and she had to live in that remote suburban county!
