Kuai Chuan: The villain became my plug-in

Chapter 177
Gu Nian paused with his hand closing the window, turned around and smiled, and took a silver pot from the stove on the side, and offered him a cup of tea.

"If the emperor doesn't change his clothes, then drink a cup of tea to keep warm. It's not worth hurting your body for some trivial things. Is this the truth, or what you said?"

The emperor chuckled: "It's better to be Zitong."

Gu Nian smiled and said nothing, but deliberately created a wife's affection for her husband.

"Don't ask, the queen, why am I so angry today."

Gu Nianyao turned his head away: "Your Majesty, the concubine is just a daughter's family who respects her husband. If you want to say it, the concubine will listen to it for fun. If you don't want to say it, the concubine will be here to accompany you. I still want to let you know , the concubine is always there."

The emperor was a little moved when he heard this, the beads on his wrist spun quickly, Gu Nian didn't say anything, but those smart eyes made people want to express the backlog of things in their hearts.

"It's not the south, the land of two lakes. According to the recent reports, it has not rained for four months. The fields are dry and there is no harvest. The dry wells are dug several meters deep without a drop of water. When it flowed out, the people began to mourn and complain, you said, is this God punishing me?"

For the first time, the emperor's face showed a dazed, melancholy look, which made Gu Nian's heart also care about the people in the two lakes thousands of miles away.

"Your Majesty, natural disasters and man-made disasters, especially those that you and I can control. Throughout the ages, it's not that droughts haven't happened before, it's just..."

Gu Nian hesitated to speak, the emperor couldn't help being a little puzzled when he saw it: "Just what?"

"It's just that there are a small number of people in these two lakes, and they are located in the center. If it is not handled well, the two places will respond to a hundred responses, which may arouse public anger. Opening warehouses to distribute food and helping the victims is the top priority. There are also taxes and corvees, etc., also..."

Seeing that the emperor looked at her with scrutiny, Gu Nian quickly shut up and said in a low voice, "These are the benevolence of a concubine's wife, how to do it is up to the emperor to decide."

The emperor still looked at Gu Nian intently, as if he wanted to see whether what Gu Nian said was true or not.

"The queen really has great knowledge. She is worthy of being the prime minister's daughter. In terms of knowledge, no one in the harem can match you."

Gu Nian's smile floated on his face, and his mind was spinning rapidly: "Your Majesty, you are teasing my concubine. This concubine is not picking on people's teeth. You don't remember. Before my father became the prime minister, but your husband, once, Because the father didn't do his homework well, he wanted to hit the concubine's palm, and you were the one who rescued the concubine, but later, the concubine escaped the beating, but he did not escape his father's punishment. That article, The concubine copied it thirty times."

Gu Nian said it interestingly, and the emperor listened interestingly: "Really? The prime minister is not all for your own good. They all say that a woman is virtuous without talent, but in my opinion, it's better to have a little talent, otherwise how can I marry you?" Such a caring wife."

The smile on the corner of Gu Nian's mouth didn't go away, she raised her pink fist and lightly hit him, the sides of her cheeks looked like the sunset glow: "Your Majesty, it's my honor to marry you."

These jokes temporarily dispelled the doubts and suspicions in the emperor's heart.

The royal family is most jealous of the prosperity of their relatives. Although the Gu family is in decline, who can guarantee that they are not pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

"Has the queen been in contact with the tribe recently? Why don't I leave this task of helping the hungry to your tribe."

Gu Nian shook his head: "Your Majesty, although the concubines also want to help the clansmen, you also know that none of the remaining juniors of the Gu family are successful, and the emperor's heavy burden may not be up to the task."

If this matter is done well, if you can establish a prestige among the people, your official career will go more smoothly after that, but opportunities are often accompanied by threats.

The better you do it, the deeper your mistakes will be in the heart of the emperor!
But if you don't do it well, you will only face disaster.

Gu Nian understood how the emperor would let her clansman fight for that official career.

"The queen's words are wrong. If you don't give them a chance to try, how will you know if it's a cat or a tiger?"

"Your majesty, you are willing to give favors to my concubine's mother's family. The concubine is naturally grateful, but in terms of this candidate, does the emperor think there is a suitable candidate?"

Gu Nian picked up the basket from behind, and there were balls of gnawed threads inside, glowing under the sun: "My concubine's elder brother, that's a man of idle clouds and wild cranes, if you ask him to write two poems, he will definitely be better than anyone else." They are all willing, but if you let him report on his duties, he will be suffocated to death, he is used to being loose, and he has no father to control him, so he really doesn't look like the head of the house at all."

After wrapping for a while, Gu Nian noticed that there was a knot in the thread ball, and quickly put the wrapped coil in the emperor's hand. This movement was smooth and smooth, as if the two of them were like ordinary people.

"The emperor takes it first for his concubines."

The emperor's body froze for a moment, and he took it obediently: "You, you, you are the only one who dares to order me like this!"

Seeing that Gu Nian didn't untie it for a long time, he couldn't help feeling a little restless: "Leave these small things to the slaves, why Zitong should do it himself."

"No." Gu Nian didn't look up, the emperor only saw her black eyelashes fluttering up and down like butterfly wings.

"The concubine wants to embroider a sachet for the emperor with her own hands, so naturally she doesn't want to miss every step. Only in this way can the concubine show her heart."

"Zitong has a deep love for me, and I feel it. The same voice responds to each other, and the same heart knows each other. These are all foreign things, so don't bother to worry about it."

"Okay, all the courtiers and concubines know about it."

The knot in his hand was finally untied, Gu Nian raised his head, just in time to meet the emperor's gaze, he spread his hand and handed the coil in his hand to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian took it, and after pestering her for a while, she raised her head blankly: "Your Majesty, what did my concubine tell you earlier?"

The emperor was asked abruptly, but he didn't react. After a while, he let out a hearty laugh: "It's okay, just forget it, Zitong should seriously make a sachet for me."

Gu Nian heard the emperor's joke, and Hongxia who had just retreated slowly rose to the tip of her eyebrows.

After a while, Gu Nian straightened his face and said: "Your Majesty, the two lakes are dry, and the national treasury must be empty. The concubine is willing to set an example and cut down on food and clothing. In addition, you should take back the rare treasures that the emperor bestowed on the concubine. The concubine does her best for the people."

The emperor withdrew his expression and looked at her guiltily: "Queen, why do you need to make this sacrifice? I see that your clothes are very simple. If you reduce it, I'm afraid you will be wronged."

"Where is the wronged. The concubine is just borrowing flowers to present Buddha. These things were all rewarded by the emperor at the beginning. If you really feel that you have wronged me, after the gaffe subsides, the concubine will go to your private treasury and choose it personally A few precious things, don't complain when the time comes!"

"How could it be?" Although the emperor was looking at her, his thoughts had already drifted out of the window: "Zitong's sincerity will not only be remembered by me, but also by the people of the world at dawn."

Time passed by, and it was lunch time again, Gu Nian smiled so charmingly during the dinner that the jaws of those who were waiting on the side dropped in shock.

They all saw the emperor's fury when he came, and none of them dared to come forward to serve.

It didn't take long for the empress to rule the emperor submissively, and the dark clouds above the head cleared, and life for these slaves would be much easier.
