Quick Wear: The troublesome female supporting role was locked up by the boss and cried
Chapter 162: The childhood sweetheart who deceived the sinister and powerful official (extra)
Qi Jingxiao and Ji Chutang have been married for three years.
beginning of summer--
The weather is getting hotter, and there is no air conditioning in this era. Fortunately, there are other ways to cool down.
Qi Jingxiao transplanted large trees with lush branches and leaves everywhere in the Regent's Palace, and it is nice to enjoy the shade under the trees.
She didn't even have to leave the yard.
There is a lush big tree in the yard. Hua Rui is married, but she still wants to come back to be with Ji Chutang, and Ji Chutang will naturally not refuse her.
Hua Rui arranged for the maid to place a bamboo rocking chair under the tree and brought a small table.
Two maids stood on either side of her, fanning her gently.
Huarui was holding a bowl of sour plum fruit soup, which had been specially chilled in well water. It was not only icy and refreshing, but also tasted amazing.
Ji Chutang likes it very much.
However, she had a stomach upset after drinking too much a few days ago, so Qi Jingxiao restricted her to one bowl a day and would not allow her to drink more than that.
Ji Chutang drank with a satisfied expression, but muttered in his heart: [I said that I would not be free after marriage. Even drinking summer desserts is restricted. What a miserable person...]
The system rolled its eyes: […You don’t know what’s good for you. ]
Just when Ji Chutang was immersed in arguing with the system, Qi Jingxiao came back.
Straight towards her.
Ji Chutang also saw it and was puzzled: "Isn't he on duty? Why is he back?"
Qi Jingxiao smiled slightly and said, "The most important things at hand have been solved. The emperor is very pleased and has released me. The summer is hot and long, so let me rest for a few more days."
After a pause, he continued, "Finally I have time to take you out to play."
Ji Chutang did not show the joy he had imagined.
Instead, he frowned and said, "You must do your job and fulfill your responsibilities. You must not disappoint the people who love you."
The smile on Qi Jingxiao's face froze for a moment. Ever since they got married, Tangtang had been pushing him along every day, fearing that he would become a corrupt and treacherous person.
Even his father Qi Muzhi was not as strict as she was in supervising him.
Fortunately, he also recruited a lot of people with business acumen, and he had a lot of properties under his name, enough for him to support his wife.
Otherwise, according to his wife's intention to make him a wise minister for all ages, wouldn't they have to eat coarse food every day? He didn't care, but he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer.
Although he listened to his wife's pillow talk every day, Qi Jingxiao did not feel bored at all. He just felt that what his wife said was right.
Qi Jingxiao skillfully took the silk fan from the maid next to him and gently fanned Ji Chutang with it.
Then he said helplessly: "Don't worry, madam. I will definitely remember to do practical things for the people and will not let you down."
"We are going to travel to the south of the Yangtze River these days. We are mainly using the excuse of traveling to investigate a case. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ji Chutang immediately thought of the prosperity of the Jiangnan region, the drizzle, the black-sailed boats, the fresh lotus seeds...
System: […The last one is the goal.]
Ji Chutang pretended not to hear.
Blinking her sparkling eyes happily, "Okay, okay."
In this way, Qi Jingxiao successfully realized his dream of many years and was able to travel with his wife and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
That's how his father is.
It was so much fun taking his mother around for fun.
Leave it all to Him.
He didn't have too many complaints. After all, Ji Chutang was in Shangjing at the time, so he naturally wanted to get back to Shangjing as soon as possible.
Ever since the two of them went out for the trip, the couple's relationship has become even closer, and her mother has become more satisfied and fond of her father.
This is obvious to all.
Naturally, he had long thought of taking Ji Chutang out for a trip.
It’s just that the new emperor had just ascended the throne two years ago, and there was a lot of work to be done, so he couldn’t find a chance to take Ji Chutang on a long journey.
It's almost just a visit to the counties near Shangjing.
Now I have found an opportunity to travel far away, so as to investigate the case, that is just a side job. After all, the emperor has already sent people over, and the investigation has been almost complete.
He used this excuse to take his wife out to play and to finish the matter so that he could return to Beijing to present it to the emperor.
……
The two of them went out together without much fanfare.
There was only one large and comfortable carriage in the mansion, followed by two or three other carriages. There were several guards accompanying them, as well as Hua Rui and two maids.
It's like just going out for a trip.
After leaving Shangjing, everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles.
Like a bird released from a cage.
For a long time in Fan Cage, he returned to nature.
I stopped and walked along the way, saw many local customs and cultures, tried various special foods, and also encountered some unfair things.
Naturally, it was solved easily.
All the way south, the two men traveled incognito and did not alert the local officials.
However, he also investigated the conditions of the people in various places along the way.
No extremely bad situations were found. The officials were not extremely honest, but they were not extremely evil and corrupt and exploited the people.
The people lived a stable life, the court had good policies, and taxes were light, so the people's lives were getting better and better.
Ji Chutang also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the reputation of the Regent among the people.
The people no longer have the indifference and silence towards the distant nobles, or are indignant about the rich living in luxury while the poor freeze to death on the streets.
When talking about the Regent, everyone would say that they heard that he was a good official and it was he who proposed the policy of light taxation and levies, which brought a good life to everyone.
There will also be discussions about the Regent's deeds in seeking benefits for the common people or making decisions for the common people.
Ji Chutang was very satisfied.
Although the system never reported the mission was successful.
But her pillow talk did have some effect.
This shows that she has not taken the wrong path and it is worth it for her to continue her efforts and supervise and encourage Qi Jingxiao. It is her duty to do so.
Qi Jingxiao: ...Thank you.
There is no rush to travel, but rather to experience it slowly, traveling like sightseeing.
If you come across a town you like, spend a few more days there.
It was not until March that I visited the Jiangnan area.
Qinghe County——
This time they went directly to the prefectural government without hiding their identities.
The original governor of this area was implicated in a major case. The case is now nearing its end, and the court has sent a new governor.
Therefore, there is no need to conceal your identity and conduct local inspections.
It is unlikely that corruption and other dirty things will occur in this area again, at least in the short term.
No matter how dumb you are, it is impossible for you to commit a crime in just a few days.
The governor learned that the regent was here in person.
I hurried over to meet you.
Afterwards, Qi Jingxiao and his party stayed in the prefectural mansion. The officials sent by the emperor to investigate the case prepared all the files and presented them to Qi Jingxiao.
Then they said goodbye, as they had other tasks to complete.
With the Regent submitting the files for them, they don't need to send their brothers who were investigating the case back.
This way they can complete their tasks more efficiently.
These files are very important and I dare not give them to others easily, but it is okay to give them to the Regent.
In the evening, the prefectural government held a welcoming banquet.
Many wealthy businessmen in the city and officials from nearby areas came to attend the welcoming banquet.
Singing and dancing make peace, cups are pushed and cups are changed.
Although Qi Jingxiao was impatient with such places, he did not leave. He seemed easy-going but dignified.
Ji Chutang sat next to him.
She was as obedient as a cat, eating quietly while Qi Jingxiao served her the food.
Very focused.
He didn't even watch the song and dance performance specially arranged for him by the prefect's mansion. The lead dancer was the prefect's daughter of marriageable age.
Knowing that the Regent has arrived at the mansion.
Hu Xiaoyue had an idea in mind, and after discussing it with her father, they came up with the following scene, the stunning dance.
I have always heard that the Regent is a handsome and outstanding man, who is extremely powerful and devoted to his partner.
She has always been fascinated by this and wanted to find a man like the Regent.
However, reality shattered her fantasy.
The Regent never even looked at her from beginning to end, which made Hu Xiaoyue very angry.
The dance was over and it was time to leave.
She was unwilling to give in, biting her lower lip and staying on the field, unwillingly speaking:
"Princess Regent, I heard that you and the Prince Regent are in love, but... but you haven't had any children in three years... you are ashamed of the Prince Regent. A woman shouldn't be too jealous. You should consider the Prince Regent."
Every sentence is pointing at Ji Chutang, saying that she is not worthy of being with Qi Jingxiao and should take a concubine for Qi Jingxiao or give up her position.
These words did not make Ji Chutang feel alert at all, he just raised his eyebrows.
She doesn't have to do anything to solve this.
The prefect standing by was almost scared to death, but in his heart he also agreed with his daughter's statement.
But Qi Jingxiao felt a sense of crisis.
With a fake smile, he squeezed Ji Chutang's hand, then turned around with a cold face:
"Miss Hu, you are really concerned about the affairs of my husband and me. Instead of spending time on this, you should study how to benefit the people. As a lady from a noble family, you are meddling in the affairs of other people's couples before you even get married. Is this the upbringing of your prefectural governor?"
These words were merciless and made Hu Xiaoyue's face turn pale, and also made the governor beside him blush.
Then I heard Qi Jingxiao say:
"It's not Madam's fault that she has no children—"
Before he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked and their hearts skipped a beat. The Regent exposed his own shortcomings. He is not capable of this?
Can they still walk out of this door today?
However, the regent continued, "Since ancient times, childbirth has been a matter of life and death for women, and contraceptive soup is harmful to women's health. I cannot bear to see my wife suffer, so I take men's contraceptive medicine myself, which does not affect our sex life and also prevents my wife from taking risks."
"This is a good idea. I am sharing it with you all. If you are willing to treat my wife well sincerely, you can follow my example."
The others understood, but they did not agree with Qi Jingxiao's idea.
There is no reason in the world for a man to take contraceptive pills. This is simply going against the will of heaven.
But even if I have a lot of complaints in my heart.
They didn't dare to reveal anything.
With a smile on his face, he flattered the Regent and his wife, saying that they had a deep affection for each other, like a couple from heaven and earth, a perfect match in heaven and on earth.
Since he knew that the Regent was a womanizer, he spoke highly of his wife and praised their relationship.
As expected, Qi Jingxiao smiled kindly throughout the entire banquet.
Although Qi Jingxiao knew what these people were thinking, they just thought he had a problem with his brain.
But he doesn't care.
He will eliminate any hidden danger that threatens Tangtang's life, even if it is his own child.
Anyway, he just wanted to be with Ji Chutang for the rest of his life.
Grow old together.
Children? I don't want them. They are not important, not as important as my wife.
