After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 797: Visions of the Past Dynasties

After a while, he called out, "My dear nephew, pour a glass of wine for Master."

After a while, he called out again, "Jin'er, what do you think of this impromptu painting of the Moon Palace Fairy that Master made?"

There is a circle and a human-shaped line drawn on the slightly yellowed rice paper.

Wang Jin's forehead twitched violently, and he looked at Yin Le for help: Save me! Save me!
Yin Le laughed secretly for a while, then stood up and set an example for him.

Yin Le: "Although Master's painting only uses a few strokes, it brings the characters to life. Whether it is the spirit or the eyes, they are expressed very accurately, making people unforgettable at first sight. Such a profound skill must be the level of the world's number one painter!"

Wang Jin was dumbfounded. How could he talk nonsense like this?
Liu Ji looked towards Wang Jin and asked, "Nephew, what do you think?"

Wang Jin thought to himself, it’s hard for me to judge you like this.

But under Yin Le's encouraging gaze, he still said a lot of compliments against his conscience.

Liu Ji laughed loudly and patted Wang Jin's shoulder with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, I knew you had good taste!"

Wang Jin: "."

Today he finally understood why Liu Ji was always so confident.

It turns out that it was the family that made it swell.

After the banquet, Yin Le received a signal from his master to see Wang Jin out.

Seeing that Qin Yao and her husband were not there, Wang Jin immediately asked worriedly:

"Ah Le, you guys keep talking nonsense like this, causing your master to misunderstand you. Is that really okay?"

Yin Le waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master is a very self-aware person."

If not, the master will use actions to make the master-grandfather wake up.

So don't worry at all, you can talk nonsense~
Wang Jin: I don’t understand, but I was deeply shocked.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Jin's frequency of visiting Qin Yao's house increased significantly.

Sometimes she would come to pick up Yin Le early in the morning to go out together, he would go to court while she would open the shop.

Sometimes it was evening, he would send Yin Le home and stay at Qin Yao's house for dinner.

Wang Jin praised Awang's cooking skills highly.

Fortunately, it is Kyoto City, where people are open-minded and there is no strict separation between men and women.

Otherwise, if the two had just gotten engaged and were stuck together all day, who knows what would have happened.

Every time at this time, when Qin Yao flips through ancient books, she will have a more intuitive comparison between the past and the present.

The favorability towards Xu Wenqing can increase a little bit.

In early September, the Emperor's mausoleum was finally completed.

On the 11th, the new emperor presided over the burial of the spirit of the great emperor, which had been kept in the Daxingguo Temple for seven months.

It was not until early winter in October that the national mourning was truly over.

However, the people of Shengguo were looking forward to the new emperor ascending the throne and regaining control of the entire country.

However, in the main hall, in front of all the civil and military officials, the emperor asked the empress dowager to resign his title as emperor and become a wise king.

Moreover, in front of all the officials, he wanted to pass the throne to the Queen Mother.

There was no sign at all behind Baili Qingyang's action.

The incident happened suddenly, and all the officials knelt down and asked the emperor to reconsider.

The Empress Dowager also declined repeatedly and was firm in her attitude, allowing the Emperor to continue in office.

The emperor's abdication was left unresolved.

But the emperor's move frightened many people.

This caused a lot of discussion among the people in Kyoto.

In the Imperial College.

Liu Ji used the excuse of helping the doctor to guard the library and secretly took a nap in there.

In early winter, the cold wind was blowing outside.

In order to preserve the books and avoid moisture, the doors and windows of the library are closed tightly so that no wind can get in.

Liu Ji made a bed on the floor behind the tall bookshelf and lay there for the whole afternoon. If he hadn't heard people talking outside the library, he wouldn't have wanted to wake up.

I just woke up and am still a little dazed.

I vaguely heard two people at the door talking about something like "Emperor" and "Empress Dowager".

"Your Majesty abdicated the throne to the Queen Mother. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a thing. This morning in the palace, all the officials were stunned when they heard it."

"Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not agree, otherwise our Sheng Dynasty would have had an empress."

Liu Ji was very familiar with this voice; it belonged to Lord Wu, the second-in-command of the Imperial Academy.

Another voice sounded, sounding younger than Lord Wu.

Liu Ji had never heard of it.

But as soon as this person opened his mouth, his heart was filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty's behavior today is really abnormal. Does Lord Wu really think that it was His Majesty's own idea?"

Lord Wu was shocked when he heard this: "What does Lord Mei mean? Could it be that the Queen Mother forced Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Lord Mei was silent.

Lord Wu exclaimed in a low voice, and said repeatedly that this couldn't be possible.

"If it was really the Queen Mother's coercion, then today in the palace, the Queen Mother only needed to accept it. Why did she refuse and act angry?"

Lord Mei shook his head and refused to say more.

He waved his hand, signaling Lord Wu not to ask any more questions.

The two of them only had a thin friendship as two of the top three Jinshi in the same period.

Lord Mei felt that he had done a very good job, but as to whether Lord Wu could understand it, it depended on his own understanding.

"I'm here to borrow a book. I can't wait any longer. I'll take the book and leave. The Imperial Master is waiting for it."

Lord Wu also knew that he had gone beyond the line and if he continued he might lose his head.

He turned around, pushed open the door of the study, and led Lord Mei in to get the book.

"Student, this is Master Mei from the Imperial Observatory. Hurry up and meet him."

Lord Wu pointed at Liu Ji, who was already dressed neatly and sitting at a desk pretending to copy a book, and asked him to find a book for Lord Mei.

Liu Ji hurriedly stood up and met Lord Mei, asking him what book he wanted to borrow.

He had been in this library for more than a month and had already memorized all kinds of lists, so he could find books very quickly.

Lord Mei looked at Liu Ji twice more. He didn't expect that the student here was more handsome than this year's top scholar.

People are always unconsciously more tolerant towards good-looking people.

Lord Mei, who looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, spoke in a rare gentle tone and ordered Liu Ji to take him to find some ancient books related to astronomy and history.

It would be best if it was an ancient book that recorded astronomical phenomena related to the emperors of successive dynasties.

For example, Emperor Wu of Han's mother dreamed that the sun entered her womb when she gave birth to him; the day before Emperor Yun of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, five-colored auspicious clouds covered his head and lasted for more than a month.

Liu Ji thought to himself, this is all nonsense, and it's just forcing a person to fit the situation.

What do the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial Master need these kinds of books for?
Liu Ji led people to look for books.

While thinking about the conversation between Wu Mei and the other person outside the door.

Then I saw Lord Mei taking a book called "Illustrations of Strange Phenomena in Past Dynasties" from the bookshelf.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to my mind - could this be building momentum for the Queen Mother to ascend the throne?
Liu Ji's breathing quickened due to the thought that came to his mind, and he quickly took a deep breath to suppress it.

After watching Lord Mei leave with the book and seeing that there was no one else in the study, Liu Ji hurried back to his desk.

Unfortunately, he had just finished copying the book "Illustrations of Strange Phenomena in Dynasties" the day before.

I took it out and opened it to check, and found that it recorded famous strange events from three thousand years ago to the present.

There are a total of 128 items, most of which are related to astronomical phenomena, and a few involve hydrology and mountain topography.

But Liu Ji, who had followed Qin Yao and learned basic scientific theories, felt that the ancients' explanations of these strange phenomena were very fantastic.

Either a saint is about to be born, or the dynasty is about to fall.

Anyway, it all depends on your mouth, you can say whatever you want.
