The steam engine cannot be rushed for a while, so Li Zhiyun can only put it aside temporarily and let the craftsmen slowly understand the technology. Whether he understands it or not, everyone must understand it together.
Harem, Changle Hall.
Li Zhiyun lay on the couch without any manners, and his feet were squeezed by the Queen herself.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"fine."
"She looks listless," said Queen Yang.
Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "I'm really fine."
I don’t know what’s going on lately. I’ve always been unable to get up my energy. It’s the same with dealing with government affairs. It’s also the same with instructing craftsmen to learn steam engine drawings a few days ago. I always feel that I have no motivation. After thinking about it, I can’t find a reason.
Empress Yang didn't ask any more questions, and instead pinched the emperor's calf pillar.
The couple chatted together and seemed very quiet and peaceful. Yu'er was changing the incense candles nearby. Seeing the emperor and empress acting like an old couple, she stepped back with a smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty, it has been some time since I came to see my concubine." As she said this, Empress Yang seemed to be able to hear some jealousy in her tone.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Did you taste it?"
"How dare I, my concubine?"
"That's it." Li Zhiyun said hehely: "I didn't expect that the virtuous and virtuous queen would also have thoughts about a little daughter, haha."
"snort!"
Empress Yang was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pinched the emperor's calf hard.
"Hiss~" Li Zhiyun said anxiously: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Queen Yang responded with a smile.
Li Zhiyun was speechless, and then said: "You just have a taste for it."
"I don't have any."
"You have."
"No."
"You have."
"No."
"Okay, if you don't, then I'll go." Li Zhiyun said and prepared to stand up.
"How dare you!" Queen Yang's eyes were full of evil.
Li Zhiyun couldn't help laughing when he saw her acting like that. Of course, Empress Yang didn't comply and quickly started to scratch him.
The couple looked like a young man and woman who had just fallen in love, and they began to fight in an inconspicuous manner.
"Okay, okay, okay, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"
After hearing this, Queen Yang let him go.
"Your Majesty, does he know that the sisters in the palace have been complaining a lot lately?"
"You'll know just by looking at it," Li Zhiyun said casually.
"Huh?" Queen Yang narrowed her eyes.
"Ha." Li Zhiyun quickly changed his words, "Don't be angry. What I mean is that with you in charge of the harem, I won't worry."
"Yes." Empress Yang nodded, and immediately advised: "Your Majesty, you should treat the rain and dew equally, otherwise you will only harm that Yuan Xiuyuan."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun sighed: "The fact that you can tell me this is enough to prove that you are my beloved wife."
Generally speaking, no woman would directly raise such a question. Now only Empress Yang would consider it for him.
Immediately afterwards, Queen Yang asked again: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to rest yet?"
"If I don't rest, I won't be sleepy."
"But I am sleepy."
Li Zhiyun: "..."
One night passed.
Political Hall.
Li Zhiyun yawned from time to time and seemed not to be in very good spirits.
"Your Majesty, didn't you have a good rest?" Du Ruhui asked with concern.
"No, no." Li Zhiyun laughed dryly.
Fang Xuanling's sharp eyes suddenly saw the lip prints on the side of the emperor's face, and she quickly whispered a reminder.
"Your Majesty, face."
"Ah?" Li Zhiyun touched his cheek strangely, "What's wrong?"
"have..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Liangzhong whispered in Li Zhiyun's ear.
Li Zhiyun was also quite embarrassed when he heard that the lip mark on his face had not disappeared. In fact, the reason why the mark did not disappear was entirely because he was bitten.
The other ministers also took a peek, and they all lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.
"Ahem." Li Zhiyun said seriously: "Fang Aiqing."
"I'm here."
"I see that you are loyal to the affairs of the state. In the memorial, you must have something to say, and you write everything carefully. This seriousness really makes me sigh."
"These are what I should do."
"So, for your seriousness, I want to reward you!"
Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed, hand in hand, "Your Majesty, as your Majesty's minister, I have your Majesty's trust and entrust you with state affairs. I dare not take credit. Please take back your sacred mandate."
"You are so humble." Li Zhiyun looked at the other prime ministers and said, "Look, look at it, Fang Xuanling is too humble."
Du Ruhui complimented him and said, "You are indeed humble."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "How about this, I will reward you with two beauties?"
"No, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling hurriedly refused.
"Why not?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"I cannot afford such a reward." Fang Xuanling did not dare to tell the truth and could only make embarrassing excuses.
"I said you should be rewarded, so you should be rewarded!" Li Zhiyun said seriously.
Fang Xuanling was about to cry but had no tears, so she repeatedly cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I already have a good wife in my family, but I really can't bear it. Please, Your Majesty, please give me a way to survive."
He had no doubt that if he promised the emperor today, he would be beaten to death by his wife when he returned home at night.
Li Zhiyun said: "Since I am a good wife, there is no need to worry. How can I say that I will give you a way to survive?"
"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling was speechless.
"Haha." Xue Shou couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"I didn't laugh."
"You keep laughing at me and never stop!"
"I think of happy things." Xue Shou pursed his lips and laughed.
"What's the happy thing?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Xue Shou lowered his head, "Chen...hahaha..."
"Hahahaha." Except for Fang Xuanling, everyone else couldn't hold back and laughed.
Fang Xuanling closed her eyes.
I knew it would be like this.
Li Zhiyun smiled and said with emotion: "Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, you are also my prime minister after all, how can you be afraid of your fierce wife!"
"That's right!" Xue Shou followed.
"It's not a fierce wife." Fang Xuanling said depressedly: "I have never thought of my wife that way."
"Look, here, he doesn't dare to tell the truth. Tsk tsk, Fang Xuanling, your incident may be written down in the history books in the future."
ah?
Fang Xuanling's expression changed, and she immediately said: "Your Majesty, the same seems to be true for Du Xiangguo."
Du Ruhui: "???"
"That seems to be the case." Wen Yanbo nodded.
Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling resentfully and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is a solemn place in the Political Hall. Please stop joking."
"Yeah." Li Zhiyun nodded.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Li Zhiyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, followed by others who also laughed.
Fang Xuanling: I can’t do this job anymore!
Outside the political hall, A-Zhen and A-Qiang looked at each other.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Qiang was puzzled.
Li Zhen listened for a while and said, "Fang Xiangguo is afraid of his wife."
"Is it true?" Li Qiang seemed to have heard some gossip.
"Really." Li Zhen nodded.
Then, this gossip spread out inexplicably, and the more it spread, the more it changed.
"You know, Fang Xiangguo is afraid of his wife."
"No, I'm afraid of my strong wife."
"Fart, what I heard was that I was afraid of my jealous wife."
"That's right, I heard that Fang Xiangguo doesn't even dare to take concubines."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
A few days later, Fang Xuanling came home from get off work and saw his wife sitting in the main hall with a stern look on her face.
"Madam, what have you cooked tonight?" he asked casually.
"Food?" Mrs. Fang sneered: "There is no food, but the strong wife has a lot of fists."
Fang Xuanling: "???"
"Wait, ma'am, what are you going to do?"
"A gentleman speaks with words but never with hands!"
Mrs. Fang was furious, "I am a woman!"
Crackling!
Fang Xuanling was beaten violently by his wife every day.
