The White-haired Queen

Chapter 107 Hearing

Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "It's not about teaching, we can communicate and learn from each other. What books do you usually read?" The boatman hurriedly replied: "I have read "The Analects of Confucius", "The Great Learning", and some history books." "Well, these are all good books. However, reading is not just about rote memorization, but also about in-depth thinking and understanding of the principles contained in them." Wen Lanyue said softly.

At this time, Gu Changfeng interrupted and said, "Yue'er is right. If you can't understand the knowledge you read, it's just rote learning." The boatman nodded repeatedly and accepted the advice with an open mind.

As the night deepened, the lights on the lake became brighter and brighter. Wen Lanyue suggested: "With such a beautiful view, why don't we each compose a poem to help us enjoy the scenery." Gu Changfeng and the boatman agreed happily.

Soon, the three of them finished their poems. Wen Lanyue's poems were fresh and graceful, Gu Changfeng's poems were bold and unrestrained, and the boatman's poems were a bit simple, but they also had a unique charm. The three of them evaluated each other, and their laughter echoed on the lake.

When they reached the shore, Wen Lanyue spread her hands and made a "please" gesture to Gu Changfeng, with a faint smile on her lips and a mischievous look in her eyes, as if to say, "Well, it's your turn to pay the bill!"

Gu Changfeng smiled slightly, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply, as if hinting at something.

The boatman watched the two interacting and roughly guessed their intentions. He immediately smiled and said, "You two are really interesting people. Although this is our first meeting, we feel like old friends. It is a great honor to have a good chat with you today. Forget the boat fare, just consider it as a token of my appreciation for making friends." After that, he picked up the oars and prepared to row to the center of the lake.

However, before Gu Changfeng could speak, a dark shadow appeared beside them like a ghost. The shadow guard respectfully handed over a purse, and Gu Changfeng threw the purse onto the boat without even glancing at it.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. Please accept this boat fare. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will definitely continue our relationship." Gu Changfeng took Wen Lanyue's hand, turned around and left, his steps firm and graceful.

The boatman's voice came from behind: "My dear, the boat fare does not need to be so much!" But Gu Changfeng and Wen Lanyue had already gone away, leaving only a faint silhouette, disappearing into the distant night.

Wen Lanyue slowly raised her head and gazed at the bright moon hanging high in the sky on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In ancient times, industry was not yet developed, the environment was relatively pure, and the air was fresh and pleasant. Therefore, the moon and stars appeared particularly bright and clear in the night sky. The moonlight was like water, and the stars were twinkling, as if they could be picked with one's hand.

The autumn breeze blew gently, bringing a slight chill. Occasionally, a few dogs barked from afar, breaking the tranquility of the night. It was getting late, and Wen Lanyue said softly, "It seems that it is time to go back. I am going back to the palace."

Gu Changfeng nodded, showing his understanding, and responded gently: "Okay, I'll take you back to the palace." The two walked side by side in silence, without speaking for a while. After a moment, they seemed to have a telepathic connection and said at the same time: "I'll come to see you tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and the laughter echoed in the silent night.

Wen Lanyue shook her head gently and said with a smile, "I'd better go out of the palace to find you." A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes, and he immediately replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the palace tomorrow afternoon." Their agreement was as full of expectations as this beautiful night.

After receiving the original owner's memories, Wen Lanyue couldn't wait to go to the court to attend government affairs early in the morning.

Before this, the projects she had worked on seemed a bit too casual, lacking in system and overall planning. However, through the integration of the memories of the original owner, Wen Lanyue realized that she was fully capable of doing many things more meticulously and systematically.

At this moment, her heart was full of anticipation and confidence, as if she had seen a brand new situation unfolding. She was determined to make full use of this rare opportunity to show her true talent and wisdom.

After washing up, Wen Lanyue dressed up carefully, put on the gorgeous court dress of the empress dowager, and went to the court accompanied by her personal maid Honghe. Before this, she used to sit behind the side curtain to participate in the government affairs, but now she sat directly behind the main curtain to listen to the government affairs.

Prime Minister Zhang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, under Qi Shaojie's careful governance, the people's lives in Yuedi have basically returned to the level before the disaster."

The little emperor nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then said: "Yuedi has a lot of rain, so we must do a good job of dredging rainwater to prevent floods from happening again."

Next, the Minister of Revenue Pang Shouzheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the cement kang launched by Wenchuang Pavilion has been warmly welcomed by the market. I think this innovative product is worth promoting as a demonstration."

The young emperor thought for a moment and replied, "I have personally reviewed the memorial on promoting the demonstration of cement kangs. Let the Ministry of Works take charge of this matter."

Li Qiang, the Minister of Industry, immediately responded, "I accept your order."

……

Minister Pang continued, "The budget for Hengyue Shopping Mall has been arranged. According to past practice, will the Ministry of Revenue still be responsible for supervising related matters?"

The young emperor thought for a moment and then replied, "We don't have to follow the old rules this time. From now on, all matters related to construction will be handled by the Ministry of Works."

……

The Minister of Works suddenly realized that he had too many affairs and huge responsibilities on his shoulders, but at the same time, this also meant that he had greater power. However, faced with such important responsibilities, he found it somewhat difficult to figure out the emperor's intentions. Although there was a hint of confusion in his heart, he knew that he had to go all out and do his best to complete these projects in order to live up to the emperor's trust and expectations of him. He secretly made up his mind that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges were, he would firmly perform his duties and contribute to the country and the people.

The ministers in the court continued to report on various government affairs. Wen Lanyue sat there quietly, listening carefully to everyone's speech. She knew in her heart that as the queen mother, she needed to pay attention to national affairs at all times and seek the welfare of the people.

As time passed, the morning court ended. Wen Lanyue stood up and left the court, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that managing a country was not an easy task, but she was willing to do her best and work together with the little emperor to make the country more prosperous.
