MTL - I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating-Chapter 290 Zhao Zhao, sleep

  Chapter 290 Zhao Zhao, sleep

   "What's wrong?" Ji Zhaoqing blinked, with an innocent and cute expression.

  Shen Yao smiled without saying a word, and approached slowly, just when his lips were about to approach her red lips—

   "Ahem!" Qin Minghong, who covered his face with a fan, deliberately raised his eyebrows, and his tone was even more unabashedly joking, "I know you are newlyweds, but you should pay attention to the occasion anyway!"

   "Brother Qin?" Ji Zhao called out in surprise.

"Here, a wedding gift for the two of you." Qin Minghong put away the folding fan in his hand, and nodded to the servant behind him, who immediately handed the box in his arms to Ji Zhao respectfully .

   "Thank you, Brother Qin."

  Ji Zhao generously accepted the heavy-looking box, and smiled slightly.

   "By the way, Brother Qin hasn't had dinner yet, right? There are cold noodle in the kitchen, so I'll make you a bowl of cold noodle with sesame sauce?"

   "Okay." Qin Minghong readily agreed.

   In a quarter of an hour.

  Ji Zhao made a big bowl of cold noodle with sesame sauce, and also cooked a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and sour plum soup.

"fragrant!"

  Qin Minghong said with great nostalgia, "When I was in Fucheng, what I missed most was A Tao's craftsmanship."

   "If Brother Qin likes it, eat more."

"must!"

  Shen Yao, who was sitting opposite him at that time, drank a cup of herbal tea to dissipate the lingering anger in his heart, and then lowered his eyes and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace."

   "Why do I see that you don't welcome me?" Qin Minghong rolled his eyes at him angrily, "I've already hugged the beauty back, why are you still so stingy?"

   "You came here so late, what happened?"

  Shen Yao ignored the complaint in his tone, and asked in a deep voice.

   "Fucheng, the sky is about to change." Qin Minghong glanced back at the young man standing behind him, who retreated obediently and waited outside the door. Then he opened his mouth and said, "I heard that the salt transport envoys in the south of the Yangtze River were killed by Caobang people who smuggled salt. In the past five years, the salt transport envoys sent by the imperial court have basically never returned. Your Majesty was furious , ordered a strict investigation, and the person in charge of this matter is Sun Xiangnian, the magistrate of Yunchuan Prefecture."

   "I heard from my aunt that this is an opportunity that Sun Guifei tried her best to win."

   "There are even more rumors in Beijing that His Majesty wants to abolish the Empress and reappoint the Imperial Concubine as Empress."

  Qin Minghong said in a low voice, "Once Concubine Sun Gui becomes the mother of a country, it will not be easy to shake the Sun family."

  Shen Yao, who listened to the news quietly, remained calm.

   Qin Minghong didn't understand his indifference, "You don't seem to care about this at all? Don't you want revenge?"

   "Why don't you want to?" Shen Yao tapped on the table lightly, raised his eyes thoughtfully, and said in a calm tone, "It's just that I don't think revenge can be rushed. If you don't have the certainty of a hit, you must not take risks."

   It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

  The most important thing is that in this 'ten years' he has to learn to lie dormant, collect all the criminal evidence of the Sun family, and wipe them all out, let alone give him any chance to revive.

"Nowadays, the Sun family is full of flowers and blazing fire. If you want to shake it, it is tantamount to dreaming." Qin Minghong sighed in a low voice, "I had already contacted my uncle before I left Fucheng. The reason why the envoy disappeared has nothing to do with the Cao Gang."

"The Cao Gang has been operating a serious business these years. The so-called private sale of salt is simply nonsense." Qin Minghong silently clenched his fists, and said in a deep tone, "It's just two words under the official word, so the Cao Gang's People have no power to defend themselves, so they can only grit their teeth and take the scapegoat one after another, if those brothers in the Cao Gang didn’t want to support their families, no one would want to bear those unwarranted infamy.”

   "Brother Qin, will you take part in the scientific examination this autumn?" Shen Yao suddenly changed the subject and asked softly.

   "Huh?" Qin Minghong didn't think about this question, he was a little stunned for a while, and then he was silent for a while and shook his head.

   "Why not?"

   "I don't want to participate." Qin Minghong said bluntly, "I left Fucheng resolutely this time. First, I want to deliver a letter to you. Second, I want to leave for Jiangnan, and I want to help uncle."

   "As for the officialdom, heh." Qin Minghong chuckled, the contempt in his words was self-evident, "I once heard a saying that when turbidity becomes the norm, innocence will only become another crime."

"Brother Qin shouldn't think so." Shen Yao shook his head in disapproval, "Compared to the Qin family, I think Brother Qin cares more about your uncle. The uncle of the Qin family comes from the Cao Gang, but the Cao Gang is just a quack organization after all. If you meet those unreasonable officials, I'm afraid their life will be very difficult. So why can't Brother Qin jump out of this circle and think from the perspective of an outsider?"

"For example, if Brother Qin becomes an official of the Jiangnan court, can some policies be changed appropriately?" Shen Yao suggested softly, "What I am advocating is not self-interest, I just think that if Brother Qin is willing If so, it might be more effective to help Uncle Qin's family quietly in another way?"

   After chatting with Shen Yao for an entire hour, Qin Minghong suddenly realized.

   Some of the questions that have been bothering him have also been answered.

   "It's getting late, so walk slowly."

  Just when Qin Minghong was about to ask for a stay, Shen Yao directly dismissed his idea of ​​asking.

   "Why don't you clean up a guest room for Brother Qin? I see it's getting dark." Ji Zhao suggested with a smile.

   "Don't be afraid, Brother Qin has a carriage, and the speed of the carriage is very fast."

   "But the city gate has been closed long ago?"

   "It's okay, Brother Qin, as a family member of an imperial official, must have a pass."

   "Brother Qin, goodbye?" Ji Zhao obediently waved at Qin Minghong.

  Listening to the couple singing together, Qin Minghong had a decent yet polite smile on his face.

  But Ji Zhao tasted a bit of gnashing of teeth from his expression?

  Qin Minghong reluctantly got into the carriage—

   Standing outside the courtyard gate, Ji Zhao watched the carriage go away, and gradually withdrew his gaze, "Shen Yao?"

   "Zhao Zhao, it's time for us to go back to our room and go to bed."

   Hearing this sentence, Ji Zhao couldn't help trembling, and muttered something in a low voice.

   Can you just chat under the quilt for a while?

  The answer is obviously no.

  When a long-lasting cloud and rain first came to an end, Ji Zhao, who was already extremely tired, was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.

  Shen Yao fetched a towel, and gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks, feeling extremely distressed.

   "Shen Yao..."

   "Zhao Zhao, go to sleep." Shen Yao kissed her lips and said softly.

   In a daze, Ji Zhao had another dream.
