Helian Han frowned deeply, covered his right fist with his left palm, squeezed it hard until a joint cracked, and then released it. "She prefers the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo." When talking about her, he did not feel any joy, but became more irritated.

The eldest daughter of the Qian family refused to cling to him, a prince, and dared to speak her mind. She also often pointed out the deviations in his behavior. These actions made Helian Han unable to forget them, and at the same time made him even more upset.

The eldest daughter of the Qian family is very good, dignified, generous, gentle and kind, and she considers everything carefully. She even dares to blame His Highness the Ninth Prince for his mistakes.

Thinking of the few times he'd met that girl, and how Miss Qian had pointed out his faults, Helian Han couldn't help but touch the scar that separated his thick eyebrows. With this scar, he felt even more ashamed. Even more annoying!

"Forget it, I'd rather miss it than force it. I'd better go on my mission!" Helian Han tapped his hand with the memorial and said goodbye.

After Helian Han left, Helian Hao asked Su He beside him, "Did you notice that there was something wrong with Lao Jiu?"

Su He nodded, "I have also noticed that when the Ninth Prince mentioned the eldest daughter of the Qian family, he was particularly abnormal. He was more gloomy than usual, and his brows were never relaxed."

Helian Hao listened and nodded. Perhaps his ninth brother was right. That girl was not a good match for him.

From that day on, Helian Han, the new Prime Minister, talked to the ministers who had worked in water conservancy every day, but he never found a satisfactory solution.

Everyone knows that we need to plant plants, but the trees we planted this year or that year will be overturned again when the windy days of spring come and the roots haven't taken root yet.

Some people also suggested planting grass, but they couldn't find a kind of grass with roots deep enough to stabilize the river bank.

Some also suggested that closing the river to flush out silt would solve the fundamental problem, arguing that flushing out the silt in the river and lowering the water level would reduce the pressure on the riverbanks.

This suggestion is not wrong, but the river embankment must be built firmly before we can think about the next step of flushing and silting.

Seven days have passed, and different people have put forward various opinions, but none of them can solve the current practical problem, so it can be said that nothing has been achieved.

Helian Han thought about going to the river first to mobilize manpower and materials. No matter what, he should build the river embankment first to survive this summer's rainy season.

If this continues, the river embankment will not be repaired by the time the rainy season comes, and the capital city will really be flooded.

Helian Han was so busy those days that he forgot that it was the morning court. He ran to Desheng Hall to find his elder brother, wanting to tell his third brother that he would go to repair the dike first and deal with other things later, but he didn't expect that the morning court had not yet ended.

Seeing that his third brother was not there, Helian Han thought that it was almost time and the court was about to end, so he decided to wait for a while.

A little palace maid was clearing weeds in the west backyard and muttered, "The weeds are not big, but the roots are big." This was a very common thing.

These words drifted into Helian Han's ears. Helian Han, who was unable to find suitable plants to reinforce the embankment due to the strong wind, stopped when he heard these words.

I walked a few steps closer and asked, "Is this weed much stronger than other grass roots?"

The little palace maid said that the roots of reeds should be longer and stronger, and also said that the people would dig up the reed roots and sell them for money.

Helian Han stood there for a while and even thought of a countermeasure: he would call the local headmen and village chiefs and tell them to keep an eye on it and not allow anyone to dig. He would also divide the area into sections, and if there were fewer reeds in any section, that village would be fined with forced labor.

Helian Han left in such a hurry that he not only didn't listen to the little palace maid's words, but he didn't even remember what the little palace maid looked like.

But when the Ninth Prince entered Desheng Hall, Qinghe saw him from afar.

The tall and majestic Ninth Prince, who was of royal descent and had a fierce appearance, was the bright moon that illuminated her heart during the long and dark years when she was plotting to get close to the emperor. She had admired him for a long time.

She had seen the Ninth Prince when his face was unscathed. He was truly handsome and masculine, possessing the nobility of a royal family... He was the man of her heart.

She secretly had this thought in mind, but couldn't say it out loud. She couldn't even take a second look when she got close. She could only hide in a corner and watch from afar.

But today, she saw the Ninth Prince talking so much to a third-class palace maid who was tending flowers and plants.

That was something she would never dare to dream of, and it was an opportunity that was beyond her reach.

That little palace maid who was only third-class, far inferior to herself, what right did she have?!

It must be that the little bitch knew that the Ninth Prince was coming, and deliberately blocked his way to show off. That little bitch!

Qinghe was so angry that her teeth were itching.

She began to plan how to get on the dragon bed, while looking for an opportunity to teach that third-class palace maid a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the little palace maid named Wu Qing was actually arranged by Eunuch Su to enter Desheng Palace, and she couldn't move.

But it doesn’t matter. Just because I can’t move you for a while doesn’t mean I won’t be unable to move you forever.

Qinghe thought: If I find you doing that to Qiao Zong in front of His Majesty the Ninth Prince again, I will never let you go.

More than a year had passed. A few days ago, when Qinghe was delivering snacks to the emperor, she heard that the Ninth Prince was coming back. Her heart immediately began to beat fast. She could see the bright moon in her heart again. How could her heart not beat faster?

But when I turned around, I saw Wu Qing wandering around in the garden under the pretext of tending to flowers and plants. How hateful!

No, she can't be allowed to talk to the Ninth Prince anymore.

The next day, she found an opportunity and asked Wu Qing to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get writing materials. She followed Wu Qing and hit her hard with a stick from behind. However, she did not expect that this slut would come out of the path again. How could this be possible?

Qing He didn't understand what the problem was. She had clearly done it herself, hitting Wu Qing hard on the back of the head with a wooden stick. To make sure she was dead, she even felt Wu Qing's breath.

But an hour later, Wu Qing was standing in front of him, just with mud on her clothes, nothing else happened.

She originally wanted to find an opportunity to take action again, but unfortunately, fate was not on her side. Not only did she not have the chance, but that bitch also entered Desheng Hall.

He actually climbed onto the dragon bed!

The rage in her heart erupted and gushed out, almost completely devouring her sanity.

His face was twisted in fury, his eyes wide. Every nerve was stretched to the limit, ready to burst. His breathing was rapid, his chest heaving violently, and every breath was a curse squeezed out from between his teeth.

She simply couldn't bear to think about it. She was afraid that if she thought about it too much, it would destroy her gentle and kind-hearted personality that she had maintained for so long.

No, she can’t think about it anymore, she just wants Wu Qing to die!

*-*-*-*-*

Autumn is about to arrive and the rainy season is completely over.

Helian Han went to the Baihe River embankment on the windiest day in spring, and he took a detour to see it again during the summer survey of rivers in the suburbs of Beijing. There were no more trees uprooted by the wind on that section of the embankment, and the reeds protected the embankment very well.

Helian Han wanted to return to the capital to report to the emperor, but when he arrived at Desheng Hall, he found that his third brother was not in the East Warm Pavilion. He asked the eunuch waiting outside the door, "Where is the emperor?"

The young eunuch dared not say anything, and lowered his head and replied: "I don't know."

Helian Han sat down, thinking that if he waited for a while, maybe his brother would come back.

Qing He saw His Highness arrive at Desheng Hall, her heart pounding. She cautiously went up to serve tea and water, then calmly removed the snacks that were usually prepared in the East Warm Pavilion and presented him with a plate of snacks she had just made herself. She even said boldly, "Please enjoy your meal, Your Highness."

Helian Han didn't even glance at Qinghe. Apart from knowing that it was a palace maid who came in, he didn't see what she looked like.

The appearance of this palace maid reminded him of the person who told him about Lu Wei last time, but he didn't even ask her name last time. He should reward her something when he returns to the palace this time.

The little palace maid might still be tending to the flowers and trees, so Helian Han walked out.

Wu Qing had a lot of work to do watering the flowers, so she dug a long ditch running from beginning to end at both the north and south ends of the flower bed.

A ditch running east-west was also dug in the flower garden to connect the north and south sides.

Helian Han saw someone carrying water for the little palace maid who told him last year that reed roots were strong. The little palace maid still had her right arm hanging. He found it interesting and took the water and put it in front of the little palace maid.

Wu Qingxian hadn't noticed yet, and was still muttering, "Cui'er, go and Qingtian to help me water the flowers and trees in Desheng Hall. It hasn't rained for a while, and if it doesn't rain soon, I'm afraid it will be dry..."

He Cui saw that Wu Qing was still talking to herself, completely unaware that there was an evil spirit standing beside her. She was extremely anxious, fearing that the Ninth Prince would blame Wu Qing, so she secretly coughed dryly.

Just then Wu Qing finished digging the ditch on the ground and looked up——

The tall figure first gave her a strong sense of oppression, and then she realized that the person who handed her water was not Cui'er, but a man in martial arts uniform.

The man stood against the light without saying a word, but Wu Qing could feel the chill and ruthlessness from him that made others dare not approach him.

Wu Qing couldn't see his face clearly, but the aura around him was enough to show that he was a wolf!

After adjusting to the light, she could see the man in front of her clearly. He was definitely over 1.8 meters tall. Wu Qing was squatting and looking up at him. Oh my god!

He is simply a man who stands tall and upright, so majestic!

The scar from forehead to eyebrow is not scary, but rather adds to his heroic spirit. Men with scars are so handsome!

I praised him in my heart, how majestic he is, I wonder which general he is!

After Wu Qing adjusted to the light and the impact of the man, her vision gradually became clear.

The man has high eyebrows, deep eyes, three-dimensional features and a deep gaze.

He was wearing a narrow-waisted martial arts uniform, and the overall outline was as sharp as a knife or an axe, with no buffering at all, and there were undisguised edges and corners everywhere.

His aura was fierce and intimidating, and the scar made him look even more unapproachable.

This kind of appearance that most people would shy away from just happens to suit Wu Qing's aesthetic taste.

Absolutely! She wanted the little brother’s WeChat! Unfortunately, there wasn’t even a landline, let alone a mobile phone.

In her previous life, she also had a crush on this handsome guy who looked so repulsive at first sight. However, before she could start pursuing him, he was diagnosed with cancer, so everything stopped at just a glance from afar.

Wu Qing doesn't want to go through the regrets and sorrows of her previous life again. She can't die without having tasted masculinity. She must find someone she likes and fall in love with no matter what!

Helian Han reached out to help bring the water to the edge of the flower bed. Wu Qing's heart was beating wildly. If her throat wasn't so narrow, the water would have jumped out of her mouth.

But she still suppressed the feeling of tachycardia and numbness all over her body, and instructed the man to pour half a bucket of water into the ditch in the southwest corner and the northeast corner respectively.

Seeing the water flowing along the ditch dug by the palace maid and seeping into the soil, Helian Han's eyes flashed.

Despite his cold and stiff appearance, Wu Qing didn't refuse to help him at all. She liked him even more. What should she do? She wanted to ask for help online, but there was no WiFi in this place!

This man wore military uniform in the palace, and his uniform was different from that of ordinary guards. Wu Qing guessed that he must be the legendary secret guard.

She thought: "Okay, I understand. I will never ask you who you are or what you do in the palace. See how understanding I am!"

"Thank you for your help. Please wait a moment." Wu Qing stood up and ran into Desheng Hall. She found a plate of snacks on the low table of the Arhat couch in the east warm pavilion. She knew that this was a regular preparation for the emperor, and it would be replaced every day even when he was not there.

She didn't hesitate and took the snacks and was about to leave when she heard footsteps approaching. She glanced at the snacks in her hand and wondered if it would be considered stealing if someone caught her.

Even though she had taken it before, what would she say if someone found out?

His body acted before his brain, and he turned and hid behind the screen.

Just as she hid, she saw Eunuch Yu walking towards her step by step. Wu Qing's heart started to rise behind the screen. Did he discover her and come to arrest her?

Eunuch Yu walked very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was only two steps away from the screen.

Wu Qing's breathing stopped.

But Eunuch Yu walked along the edge of the screen and went straight to the imperial desk. Without sitting down, he took paper and pen and started writing.

Wu Qing watched as Eunuch Yu walked up behind her, almost standing back to back with her!

I thought to myself that it was a good thing that he didn't sit on the imperial chair to write, otherwise I would have seen it clearly.

At this time, Eunuch Yu was completely unaware and was writing seriously.

Wu Qing tiptoed out of the East Warm Pavilion with snacks in one hand.

She walked up to the man, holding up a snack with both hands, "Please have this, it's delicious, it's my thank you gift." She looked directly at the man in front of her without any concealment. She had to leave a good impression on such a handsome guy and make an appointment to meet him again.

Helian Han saw starlight in the eyes of the palace maid!

He just couldn't understand it.

How could this be possible? His undisguised hostility was so intense that most palace servants avoided him, and even the guards, who knew his identity, tensed up whenever he arrived.

But this little palace maid showed no fear or awe when she saw him.

When they met last year, she probably didn't know his identity. Not only was she not afraid of him because of the scar on his eyebrow, she also talked to him about reeds.

What was even more incredible now was that when she looked at him, there was not only fear in her eyes, but also light. Why?

Before his appearance was damaged, many women looked at him differently, but not with this kind of light, but with shyness and timidity.

He knew that she was interested in him, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

Because someone said that he is willing to accompany him to watch the sunrise and sunset and experience the cycle of the four seasons.

So he never cared about any gaze other than that person's.

After his appearance was damaged, those eyes that were originally shy when seeing him became frightened and timid.

And the woman who said she was accompanying him also looked away.

But he had never seen such light in the eyes of the woman looking at him. It was as if what she saw was a sea of ​​stars and the vast night sky.

Helian Han was confused. He looked at the palace maid's shining eyes and the snacks in her hands.

He doesn't usually like snacks...
