Chapter 8

Author: I am hopelessly handsome

It was night, and Liu Piaopiao was lying on the bed without any sleep.

The moonlight was like water, filling the entire floor softly. The atmosphere was so quiet, except for the sound of my own even breathing, there were only a few wisps of spring breeze passing by the window from time to time.

The windows were not closed tightly, and from time to time you could smell the quiet fragrance of flowers mixed with the new green grass. The fragrant smell made people clearer and clearer.

Liu Piaopiao simply put on her clothes and went to the garden. The scene at dinner was still vivid in her mind. Liu Yufu's gloating, Liu Wenlan's calmness, and Liu Yirong's lack of concern.

Why don't you care? As a minister, your daughter should be very frightened when she says something wrong. Although Liu Yirong's reaction was a little shocked, he didn't look worried at all, as if he knew that Lu Ji wouldn't care about this matter. Even though it touched the royal family

The reverse scale, but he doesn't care. Is he so confident in his position that he loses the caution of a courtier?

And Lu Ji's reaction was exactly what he thought. Although he was warned, he didn't care too much.

Liu Piaopiao still couldn't let go, because Lu Ji's hand never let go after that.

He was very irritable. Perhaps his lack of care was a reassurance for Liu Yirong. The defense was in his heart. If Liu Yirong's support was not needed now, then Liu Piaopiao's remarks today would be enough to push the Liu family to the forefront.

To be fair, Liu Piaopiao does not want the Liu family to repeat the same mistakes and be expelled to the edge of power. She is the daughter of the Liu family, even a concubine. Only Liu Yirong's status is stable, and she will have a backer in the future.

Should she take the initiative to show her kindness to Lu Ji? But if you think about it carefully, one of her daughters is not at home in the court, so her gesture of kindness will not be of any benefit to Lu Ji. She will not be able to do it alone when she dislikes the Liu family.

She has a good future, right? No matter how you think about it, Lu Ji is not a person who causes trouble for himself.

Unknowingly, I have reached the rockery, and the moon hangs high, like a piece of cake.

Liu Piaopiao stretched out her hand and made a gesture. Oh, it's really round.

What was she doing during the last Mid-Autumn Festival?

She wrote a letter to Liu Yirong. At that time, she had been rejected by Zhou Wenqing and was under house arrest in the courtyard. She had a serious lung disease and her coughs always brought out bloodshot threads.

The letter was written so sincerely that Liu Piaopiao's tears blurred out many ink marks on the letter paper.

"Father, the child wants to go home."

No reply was received, and Liu Piaopiao waited for a long time but no one came to pick her up.

The moon was so round and bright when I saw it in the yard that day, and now I don't even feel the slightest emotion when I look at it again. If I had to say it, Liu Piaopiao just hoped that she would not wrong herself every day in the future.

She climbed up to the rockery, and the pain caused her to grin. She found a flat place and finished the work. She looked down and saw a person standing on the back of the rockery. Her dark hair was hanging down, and she stood leisurely on the edge of the pond. She held a bamboo pole.

, not a single fish was caught for a long time.

Liu Piaopiao yawned as she saw this, who was so elegant that he went out fishing in the middle of the night.

She swung her calves, kicking the rocks and making the rocks snap. The man had his back to her, and even after hearing some noises, he didn't suspect that he was a monster or fox. Liu Pianpian watched as the man adjusted his posture and swung the bamboo pole further.

"Liu Piaopiao, you scared my fish away."

The voice sounded so familiar that Liu Piaopiao suddenly remembered who it was. Her foot slipped and she almost fell off the rockery. Fortunately, she hugged the stone tightly and used strength on her buttocks to finally sit up. Then she said with a guilty conscience:

"Did my maid scare away His Highness's fish?"

Lu Ji turned his head slightly and glanced, and Liu Piaopiao looked at him timidly.

"Don't be so formal, just call me."

Liu Piaopiao blurted out the word "Court Girl", but awkwardly changed her words after a moment: "I understand."

"Why aren't you sleeping, Your Highness?"

"You didn't sleep either?"

Lu Ji's side face was as flawless as jade. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, which really confused Liu Piaopiao's mind. She was a little uneasy, so she asked: "Did I make His Highness unhappy?"

"No, just admit the bed."

Liu Piaopiao still felt that he was unhappy, not because of herself. It was because of her old father who relied on power and was arrogant. Look, this is the person who keeps His Royal Highness awake. To a certain extent, the ministers are comparable

The beauty made it much more difficult for Lu Ji to sleep and eat.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Liu Piaopiao thought for a while and answered seriously: "I ate too much and I was exhausted."

Lu Ji remembered how Liu Piaopiao was sitting at the end of the dinner and no one was paying attention, stuffing food into her mouth one after another, just like a mouse.

It's her turn to hold on.

Lu Ji didn't speak, Liu Piaopiao didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere became silent. Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but regret, she should be walking around in her room, why would she come out if she had nothing to do.

But she didn't dare to leave. She stayed with Lu Ji as he stood here, sitting on the hard stone. Sitting made her butt hurt, and she couldn't help but sway from side to side.

Lu Ji suddenly asked her: "What do you think should be done about the flood in Yizhou?"

Can this be said?

Liu Piaopiao didn't know whether she should speak, but Lu Ji was not in a hurry. He fished leisurely and waited for Liu Piaopiao to speak.

After a while, Liu Piaopiao slipped down from the rockery.

She came to Lu Ji's side and knelt down half-kneeling in a supportive manner. She called herself a minister's daughter again, placing her status at a lower level.

"My daughter feels that the flood problems in Yizhou should be left to the officials of Yizhou to deal with them themselves."

"The imperial court allocated money one by one, but no results were achieved at all. The minister believed that it was not that there was no way to control the floods, but that there were people who gave and received privately, which made it difficult for the country to make money. Therefore, Yizhou needs a major change of blood. If officials sent from other places cannot be

Those who are familiar with the local conditions are prone to being squeezed out by the gentry. Therefore, the candidates are selected from Yizhou, and the officials who have no achievements are eliminated, and the imperial court collects plans to control floods. There will always be talents available in Yizhou."

Lu Ji put down the fishing rod, and Liu Piaopiao stood up at the right time, anxiously waiting for Lu Ji's comment. But the other party just looked at her, which made her tremble.

“Great idea.”

Finally coming to a conclusion, Liu Piaopiao let out a long sigh of relief.

"I wish I could help His Highness."

"I'll let Chang Qing handle this matter. What if the local officials don't obey orders?"

Why bring the problem to yourself again?

"Who dares to disapprove of His Majesty's majesty?"

Liu Piaopiao flattered her, and Lu Ji actually smiled. He stretched out his hand as if to pinch Liu Piaopiao's face, but took it back halfway.

"This world is dominated by aristocratic families, and Yizhou is the territory of the Song family in the south. If they are removed from their official positions at will, I am afraid that the impeachment of the prince will cover up His Majesty's Long Case."

This Liu Piaopiao did not expect that Lu Ji almost dealt with the aristocratic family with thunderous tactics after he came to the throne in his previous life. Therefore, Liu Piaopiao subconsciously ignored the matter of the aristocratic family. Now that he thought about it, it felt particularly difficult, so he looked at it with some expectation.

Lu Ji: "Then, Your Highness, how should we deal with it?"

The face in front of him was so cute that Lu Ji had the urge to go crazy, but because his hands were itchy, he still held back.

"What you said later is advisable. No matter how unbridled the family is, they will immediately know how to restrain themselves from this edict, and they will naturally push out people to deal with the flood."

Liu Piaopiao nodded: "That's good."

She believed in Lu Ji. When he ascended the throne and no longer had any shackles, he would sort things out one by one.

With his worries out of the way, Lu Ji should be able to sleep now. Liu Piaopiao became bolder and stepped forward and asked, "Can your Highness sleep now?"

Lu Ji shook his head: "Acknowledge the bed."

He looked at Liu Piaopiang. The girl's childish face was so frank and cute, her cheeks slightly puffed out, and her eyes were looking at him intently.

"You have done a great favor to Gu, is there anything you want?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes brightened even more. She moved around a little embarrassed, and finally twitched the corner of her mouth.

"I like everything His Highness rewards."

Lu Ji really thought carefully about what girls like, jewelry or rouge and gouache, or is it something he wants to buy?

Liu Piaopiao is a concubine, and her daily food and clothing expenses are definitely not as good as those of a legitimate daughter. I am afraid her monthly salary is also pitiful. Things given by the royal family cannot be sold at will, and even if they are given to Liu Piaopiao, they will not be able to help. Lu Ji

After touching myself, I finally found that I didn't have anything.

He took out a piece of gold.

For a moment, Lu Ji felt that Liu Piaopiao's sight was completely occupied by the gold. Standing next to the gold, he had become a decoration. If Liu Piaopiao hadn't coughed in time to pull Liu Piaopiao out of her thoughts, she would have been there.

Forgot about Lu Ji.

Liu Piaopiao raised her hands upward and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Ji was in a good mood and his tone became softer. He didn't notice at all that he was seeking Liu Piaopiao's opinion, and he was hoping to get a positive answer in a seductive manner.

"Liu Yufu will follow me into the palace tomorrow. Do you want to go and have some fun together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, I don't want to go."

Liu Piaopiao knew very well that entering the palace with her knowledge and character would only cause trouble. After getting the gold, Liu Piaopiao just wanted to settle on the shop as soon as possible. Rather than colluding with the powerful, she would rather do some small business on her own to achieve it.

Wealth freedom.

Liu Piaopiao didn't want to go to Luji, so she couldn't force her. She was just a little disappointed, and she didn't know why. In the final analysis, it might be because she didn't want to deal with the so-called marriage event.

The moonlight is so beautiful, but the person who is on the moon is not in a good mood.

Looking at Liu Piaopiao's carefree face, Lu Ji inappropriately thought about who she, Liu Piaopiao, would marry in the future.

She was probably the head wife of a minor official, who gave birth to a son and a half daughters. She spent her whole life treating each other as guests and raising eyebrows. She would never be like him, twisting and turning in intrigues, people don't want people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts.

"What are you worried about, Your Highness?"

Facing Liu Piaopiao's confused eyes, Lu Ji threw out the fishing rod again.

"It's time for you to go back to sleep, Liu Piaopiao."

This was to chase people away. Liu Piaopiao rubbed her nose, thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince was really thoughtful.

But what does this have to do with her?

She got gold, and when she bit it, there were deep teeth marks.

A happy life is simply waving to Liu Piaopiao, the wine shop of your dreams, here I come!

This night, Liu Piaopiao slept extremely soundly.
