Queen, go for hegemony

Chapter 40 Diligence is a Virtue

Chapter 40 Diligence is a Virtue
Xiao Huang was shirtless and carrying a shovel to clean up the accumulated manure in the stable that had not been cleaned for a long time. The sweat flowed down his smooth back into several streams, and when it reached his waist, it was absorbed by the waistband of the denim cloth, revealing a dark and dark complexion. of wetness.

E Huang tugged at my arm and shook it a few times: "Your Majesty, it's fine for the slaves to watch over here, why don't you take a break?!"

Since I sternly refused to send our newly bought young servant An Er to the palace to purify, His Majesty the Emperor did not raise any objections at that time, but the eunuch who passed the decree almost broke down the door of my house early the next morning.

The content of the imperial decree is the same as the content drafted on the paper that Feng Chaowen showed me the day before, but now it is written on yellow silk and covered with a jade seal, which is very grand.

His Majesty the Emperor is also very impatient!
Except for me who would rather die than surrender, and Xiao Huang who looked angry, the rest of the people were happy.

Tong Bo sighed with tears in his eyes: "Master has always been worried that Xiao Lang won't be able to get married. Although the husband-in-law's conditions are not satisfactory and far from the master's usual criteria for choosing a son-in-law, he can finally get married. I can go underground even after I die. See you, master..."

Ehuang obviously disagreed with Uncle Tong's point of view: "Uncle Tong, the powerful and powerful people in Beijing broke the head and fought for the queen's position for their daughter. What you said is disrespectful!"

The four iron-tower-like sisters standing behind her looked at Uncle Tong with an unfriendly expression for the first time in a few days.

The eunuch delivering the decree finished his congratulations and moved away. The large army behind him was immediately amazing. The palace people carrying the imperial gifts squeezed my yard to the brim. I buried my head in the plates for a long time, cleared the family property, and calmly waved these people away under the silent gaze of the whole yard.

Faced with such a rich reward, I actually think...it is completely unnecessary to die rather than submit!

Xiao Huang expressed extreme surprise at the quick change in my attitude, and confirmed again and again: "He didn't approach you, didn't threaten you, really didn't he?"

Since Feng Chaowen left yesterday, I have heard this no less than twenty times.

I think he's probably just bored.

While Ehuang and the four maids were packing up the imperial gift, I took Xiaohuang around the mansion and explained the work that needs to be done today.

For example, the stables that have not been cleaned for a long time, the hut in the backyard...

Ehuang couldn't understand the joyful feeling that I made Xiaohuang feel spontaneously from the inside out, and I thought she was in front of me and behind me, "Mother" and "Mother". It made my brain ache. , had to send her to the front yard.

Xiao Huang spent two hours cleaning the stables and two hours cleaning the hut. During the process, he felt sick and vomited several times. Finally, he lay down in front of the large water tank in the backyard. After drinking enough water, he looked up and saw two piles of firewood that looked like mountains, his face was pale up.

He was lying on the ground, refusing to get up again, and moaned for a long time before accusing me: "You are blackmailing me to repay you!"

I smiled and nodded and admitted: "Actually, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time since I knew you were pretending to be stupid and teasing me, but I have never had the chance. Now that you have come to my door, it can be seen that God has treated me very well!"

He raised his big watery eyes. Since he lost weight, it is a pity that these big eyes are no longer luscious. The smell of a rogue: "You just regret taking me to escape, don't you?"

The tone was angrily, with a hint of grievance.

I ran over and kicked his calf twice: "Don't pretend to be dead, get up and work!"

He got up staggeringly, picked up the ax to chop wood, threw it on the ground after two strikes, and yelled at me with red eyes: "When I was stupid, you never bullied me. Life is really meaningless. I might as well be a fool!"

I actually sat on the ground crying and wiping tears...

I cautiously stepped forward and squatted in front of him, and seeing that there were big tears rolling down his eyes, I had to comfort him softly: "It's such an old child, and even if you do some work, you're not afraid to say it. Shame? I just miss the three years of hard work that you and I ran away from, so I will teach you to do some work and let me remember the bittersweet..."

When he cried, he seemed to be the fool he was in the past, regardless of his emotions, and my heart softened immediately.

He stuffed the ax into my hand, and continued to cry: "It's your job to remember bitterness and sweetness, I'll watch..."

If you are soft-hearted, you can't take a step back when it comes to principled issues.I put the ax into his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "That's the best, how about some more chicken legs for you to eat tonight?"

His mood dropped all of a sudden: "Since I separated from you, I don't eat chicken legs anymore..."

This is the first time he has talked about what happened after leaving these days.But I'm not interested in what happens after he leaves me.When I met him, he was a fat little fool. I took care of his homework assigned by the master, punished him, shared a big bed, shared delicious food, and grew up slowly holding his hand. , I was his companion, and he also accompanied me, dreaming a prosperous and beautiful dream in Dachen Palace.

When I woke up, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the flames of war were raging. When I took his hand and left the Dachen Palace, I thought he was my only sibling in this world, a brother who could love each other.

My original intention was just to protect his innocent head from being used as a memorial to the perishing Da Chen in this troubled world...

Just like my father expecting me to live in peace, I also want someone to be able to recall the silly appearance of childhood together when I am old...

I heard that when Feng Chaowen wiped out the kingdoms, none of the emperors who had sat on the throne for more than a decade or so were able to keep their heads.

In the past hundred years, the world has been in chaos, lords vying for the throne, bandits are everywhere, and the people are displaced. Those with lofty aspirations are like Uncle Yan, looking forward to the coming of a wise king, ending this turbulent war, and unifying the world; as loyal as a father, doing everything possible to protect the precarious Da Chen, knowing that the future is worrying; he can't help himself like Xiao Huang, standing at the pinnacle of power, unable to control his own destiny...

He is a puppet held in the hands of the Queen Mother, a reason for politicians to rise up, and a target that must be destroyed in the future... I can understand how helpless I am without telling it.

I touched the top of his head and promised with great emotion: "As long as you work hard, regardless of duck legs and goose legs, I will let the kitchen prepare them for you!"

He murmured, "How can I be so greedy..." Under my half-smile eyes, he blushed and stopped.

I feel that when I lived in Dachen Palace in the past, he spared no effort to take care of my diet, and would always leave me a share of what he liked. Now I can't be harsh, since the promise must be fulfilled, so I went to the kitchen Turned around and ordered a lot of food.

When I came back, Xiao Huang was still sitting in front of the two piles of firewood, and I taught the child earnestly: "Hard work is a virtue, An Er, you are too lacking in this virtue!"

After wiping away his tears, he saw that I was completely unmoved except for the promise of delicious food, so he just sat there and chopped firewood.

I was relieved and turned back to the front to look for Uncle Tong, quite satisfied with my short-term education of the little waste emperor today.

The sage said, great missions come from heaven to the people... I don’t know if there are any great missions, but I will help him to work hard, work his muscles and bones, starve his body, and it’s also for his own good!
Uncle Tong was sitting in the porter's room, when he saw me get up and saluted: "Cao Min sees the empress!"

I was shocked and stared at him like a monster. After realizing that he was not possessed by something unclean, I finally burst into tears: "Ehuang is from the palace, and I like these twists and turns the most." , Uncle Tong, you bully me too... If you keep doing this, I will run away from home..."

He hurriedly coaxed me: "Didn't I rehearse it beforehand, so as not to be in a hurry when I don't know how to salute, it will be troublesome."

I shook his empty sleeve and refused to let go: "The date is not fixed yet, do you think I'm annoying?"

He said with a straight face, "Yeah, I thought you were annoying, and I thought about marrying you. Girls from other families get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but you are fine. You are already 21, and His Majesty the Emperor is willing to marry you. "But the corners of her lips are curved, and even her beard is raised, showing a clear expression of joy.

For the first time, I felt that His Majesty the Emperor is actually not bad!
If I teach him that the An Er I took in is the Great Chen Abandoned Emperor... Thinking about that scene, I can't help but feel chills all over my body, and I decided to send Xiao Huang out of the house as soon as possible after he has been reformed through labor.

I whispered to Uncle Tong: "Does Daddy have a soldier talisman?"

Uncle Tong was stunned and puzzled: "Didn't you bury it?"

"Buried?" I don't know what the soldier talisman looks like.

Uncle Tong looked deeply shocked: "Why doesn't Xiaolang know the military talisman? The jade in the box I gave you the night before the master's burial..."

That strange-shaped thing is a soldier talisman?
I beat the bed board and couldn't stop laughing, my stomach hurt from laughing, and I fell on Uncle Chen's bed, laughing out tears.He patted me on the shoulder: "Xiao Lang..."

When he looked up, he looked at me in horror.

I put my arms around his remaining arm and asked softly: "Uncle Tong, do you still want to see war?"

He touched my forehead: "Xiao Lang, are you stupid? How can anyone like war? For the rest of his life, Uncle Tong only wants to see you live happily, have children, and grow old in peace."

The more I thought about it, the happier I was, and I promised again and again: "Definitely!"
