Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!
Chapter 919: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (82)
"Who doesn't know that His Majesty is cracking down on corruption?"
Li Siqi responded softly, "Give us a peaceful and prosperous Hanming Dynasty."
I believe that a peaceful and prosperous era, a time of national stability and prosperity, will eventually arrive.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is such a good talker."
The Empress smiled broadly, "What a sensible and good child."
"Yes, the Empress is right."
Emperor Ming of Han nodded and then asked Li Siqi, "I've heard that your glass has been constantly being modified. Tell me, besides being decorative, does it have any other uses?"
"They can be used as windows to block the cold wind. I'm planning to install transparent glass panes on all the windows in my house..."
Li Siqi didn't hide anything from him; she told him everything about the functions of the glass.
The more she spoke, the deeper and more profound Emperor Ming's gaze became.
I listened to everything she said.
Even the Empress listened with great interest.
When she finally heard that she had presented the formula for glassmaking to the Emperor, he was momentarily stunned.
He glanced at Emperor Ming of Han beside him.
His expression remained calm, and his tone was indifferent, "Are you really willing to offer this to me?"
I know that your glass shop is making a fortune every day.
"If you give me the recipe, it will definitely affect your business."
"fine."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "Although I like to earn money, I hope even more that the Ministry of Revenue can earn money."
Only when the Ministry of Revenue earns more money can it do things that are more beneficial to the people.
Your Majesty, I believe you will bring blessings to the people.
"You little rascal, you talk as if you know me very well."
Emperor Ming of Han made this seemingly joking remark.
The Empress was so frightened that her heart raced.
She was about to say something.
But then he heard the young maid in front of him say matter-of-factly, "Your Majesty, in fact, not only do I understand Your Majesty, but all the civil and military officials also understand Your Majesty."
Everything His Majesty does is for the benefit of the people.
His Majesty values the well-being of the people, and the people respect their sovereign.
Isn't it perfectly normal to know about the Emperor?
"What a sharp-tongued little girl."
Emperor Ming of Han laughed and looked at the Empress beside him, "Empress, you little girl keep flattering me."
If I cannot grant her a life of 'universal joy, peace and tranquility,' then...
Will this little girl complain that I'm too incompetent?
Li Siqi was speechless upon hearing this.
He immediately chose to get up and kneel down.
Your Majesty can make such a joke.
We also need to see if she can handle it.
"His Majesty is joking."
The Empress replied with a smile, "His Majesty has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the people of the world, showing utmost loyalty and courage. Who would dare to speak ill of His Majesty?"
"Yu'er is a good child; Your Majesty mustn't frighten her."
"That's not what I meant."
When Emperor Ming of Han saw the person kneeling down, his smile deepened. "Little girl, rise."
I have no intention of blaming you.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ming of Han gave her another sharp look. "Your parents should be arriving in the capital in a few days."
Your father has rendered great service, and I will reward him handsomely.
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
"You stay here and talk to the Empress."
Emperor Ming of Han stood up and said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, respectfully see you off!"
The Empress and Li Siqi rose at the same time to pay their respects.
Until the yellow figure disappeared.
After they both stood up, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
immediately.
Both of them were stunned.
Li Siqi reacted immediately, blushing as she bowed, "Your Majesty, this humble woman has been impolite."
"It doesn't matter."
The Empress was not angry; in fact, she chuckled.
He came up and looked her over again, exclaiming once more, "You're such a beautiful girl."
Fortunately, he's still young, otherwise the whole capital would have been in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, the capital was already bustling with activity because of me last time."
"Uh?"
The Empress was taken aback upon hearing this.
She quickly recalled her argument with Jia Baoyu and could no longer control herself.
They burst into laughter.
"You little rascal..."
The Empress smiled and pulled her to sit down, "No wonder the Jia family is unwilling to let you go."
However, the Jia family members are indeed not qualified.
They can't protect you.
"Your Majesty, it is not a matter of whether they can protect me or not."
Li Siqi explained softly, "It's just that I don't like people who have double standards."
I am just an ordinary person who likes making money and craving gold and silver.
Some people enjoy the conveniences that come with power and wealth, yet despise everything they enjoy.
It's as if talking about these rights is something to be defiled.
"I cannot tolerate this kind of person."
"You're right."
The Empress nodded with a smile, "Those who dare to say 'regard royal power and wealth as fleeting clouds' are the ones who enjoy such riches and honors."
An ordinary person would never say such a thing.
You don't need to take this kind of person seriously.
They're just a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites.
"Your subject understands."
Li Siqi smiled sweetly, "This humble woman thanks Your Majesty the Empress for your protection."
"You've been a bright child since you were little."
The Empress covered her mouth and laughed, "His Majesty has mentioned you to me countless times."
Besides, you lost your mother.
I will send someone to teach you.
To be honest, the relationship between you and me is quite close.
"Of course I will cherish you to some extent..."
……
They came out of the palace.
Li Siqi returned with a generous reward.
All the powerful and influential people in the capital knew about this news, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking.
Rongguo Mansion.
In Grandmother Jia's courtyard.
They finally received the news.
I can hardly believe this fact.
Why would Her Majesty the Empress summon Yu'er at this time?
Grandmother Jia frowned. "Has anyone heard that Her Majesty the Empress summoned her for some reason?"
"It hasn't been reported."
Lady Wang shook her head. "All I know is that she entered the palace for two hours and left with a reward from the Empress."
I heard the rewards this time are quite substantial.
"Next year is the triennial general election."
Jia Yuanchun slowly spoke, "I wonder if the Empress's request for her is related to next year's general election."
"general election?"
Grandmother Jia was stunned upon hearing this, and quickly frowned, "Every major election is for the eldest daughters of officials of the fifth rank or above."
Besides the emperor taking concubines.
The rest were all arranged marriages.
Now it seems that Yu'er's marriage is in trouble...
Her expression darkened as she spoke.
He had always wanted to bring his granddaughter's family into the family.
Now it seems there's absolutely no chance.
If the two families privately agree to a marriage and then report it to the Emperor, there might still be a chance.
Unfortunately, neither the Lin family father nor the daughter agreed.
She was only a grandmother; she didn't have the right to force anyone.
“Grandmother, my cousin Yu’er’s marriage is of course bestowed by His Majesty.”
Jia Yuanchun already knew her thoughts.
But deep down, I wasn't optimistic.
Besides, she knew that her cousin Lin disliked her younger brother who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
There's absolutely no way the two of them could get together.
