After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 16 Fiancé
He really wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Qinghao, but he wanted to meet Zhu Qinghao and talk to him even more.
Zhu Qing'an was slightly stunned. She vaguely remembered that at this time in her previous life, Shen Shixin seemed to have indeed written a letter requesting to be the supervisor of the river construction.
Shen Shixin is kind and ambitious. One regret he had in his previous life was that he wanted to serve the people as a river supervisor.
Because the south suffered from severe floods every year, the empress dowager insisted on building rivers to drain water and benefit the people, despite opposition from many people.
But building a river channel is a lucrative job. If the officials in charge are honest and upright, it will be fine. But if the officials in charge have bad intentions, it will be a waste of money and manpower.
Zhu Qing'an still remembered that in his previous life, the person in charge of this matter was the official appointed by the current emperor. After the river was successfully built, heavy rains hit the second year, and the river dam was like tofu dregs. Many people lost their lives in the flood, and even the queen mother was privately cursed by the people.
Whenever Shen Shixin mentioned this matter in his previous life, he would feel depressed. If it were him back then, he would definitely not have embezzled.
"Building a river channel is a hard job. Mr. Shen, remember to bring some extra clothes. The people serving you should also bring some agile guards. Summer is coming soon, so you should prepare some herbs to repel mosquitoes!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.
What she said was so sincere and so ordinary that Shen Shixin was stunned for a moment, as if they were just a couple for many years.
But I have to say that Zhu Qinghao's care warmed Shen Shixin's heart.
After he and Zhu Qinghao got engaged, many people mentioned to him that Zhu Qing'an was the girl the Queen Mother valued the most, but she behaved in an unruly manner and was not a good candidate for a wife.
But now, Shen Shixin feels that those people are wrong. Zhu Qingan is virtuous and will definitely be a good wife in the future.
"Princess, you must take care of yourself, and... wait for me..." After Shen Shixin finished speaking, he quickly got out of the carriage.
When getting off the carriage, he almost fell accidentally, which made Zhu Qing'an laugh out loud again.
When Shen Shixin heard the silver bell-like laughter in the carriage, he panicked and quickly fled, taking one step at a time. He used to be a well-behaved man, but now he was like a young boy.
Zhu Qingan smiled calmly again, and had already made up his mind.
She had too many things to do right now, so it would be better to let Shen Shixin leave Ancheng and do what he had always wanted to do, and also save her aunt's reputation among the people.
After meeting Shen Shixin, Zhu Qingan felt a little relieved, but when she stepped into the Cining Palace, her heart became extremely restless.
If Shen Shixin is her salvation after rebirth, then her aunt is the person Zhu Qingan most wants to see.
The Cining Palace is full of majesty and there is no luxury at all. This is simply because the empress dowager is not a wasteful person in her daily life.
As Zhu Qing'an entered the palace, he immediately saw his aunt sitting at the top, looking down at a document.
In just a moment, tears flowed uncontrollably into his eyes, and even though Zhu Qingan tried his best to suppress them, his vision was still blurred.
Her aunt still looked the same as Zhu Qing'an remembered.
The empress dowager was dressed in a black robe embroidered with an intricate pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix. Her wide sleeves flowed freely on both sides. The only thing she wore on her body was a pair of shining oriental pearl earrings on her ears.
Empress Dowager Zhu Lingyao had a graceful and dignified appearance, with a straight back. Her eyes contained not gentleness and coquettishness, but a firmness and composure that was different from that of an ordinary woman.
The Queen Mother was indeed different from ordinary women, not only because she was the most noble woman in the world, but also because her talent, knowledge and even insight were no less than those of men.
When the late emperor was still alive, the empress dowager sat firmly on the throne of empress and advised the late emperor to be diligent and love the people.
Therefore, when the late emperor passed away, he passed the throne to the young third prince and let the empress dowager rule the country from behind the scenes. Over the years, the empress dowager has reformed the laws to benefit the people, making the Xuanlong Kingdom appear peaceful and prosperous.
"Qing'an is here?" The Queen Mother put down the document in her hand and waved to Zhu Qing'an with a smile.
Just one sentence made Zhu Qing'an unable to hold back.
She was the aunt who loved her the most in the world. She was the aunt who coaxed her to eat when she was a child, the aunt who taught her calligraphy when she was young, and the aunt who took care of her all night when she was sick.
"Aunt!" Zhu Qing'an just opened her mouth and burst into tears. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something and only silent sobs came out.
"This child..." Seeing Zhu Qing'an crying so painfully, the Queen Mother hurriedly walked down from her high seat and hugged Zhu Qing'an in her arms.
"Aunt knows that you have been wronged. Don't worry, I will not forgive them!" The Queen Mother wiped Zhu Qing'an's tears familiarly, and her usually majestic voice was filled with gentle comfort.
Zhu Qing'an cried for a long time, and her aunt, who was always busy, stayed with her for a long time without showing any impatience.
Zhu Qing'an felt the warm body temperature of his aunt, and truly knew that his aunt was still alive and well in this life, and he felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill in his heart.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and even her makeup was smudged. Palace Master Guan helped Zhu Qing'an fix her makeup. When Zhu Qing'an returned to the palace, she had calmed down a lot.
"You're so grown up, but you still have the same crybaby personality!" The Queen Mother reached out and pulled Zhu Qing'an to sit beside her, her tone full of doting.
"No matter how old Qing'an is, he is still a child in front of his aunt!" Zhu Qing'an leaned against his aunt and acted coquettishly.
The Queen Mother laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Over the years, the heavy burden of political affairs has made her breathless, and she has also had to face the temptations of others. The empress dowager has been worried every day, but only in front of Zhu Qing'an can she truly relax.
"Okay! As long as your aunt is here, you can be a child forever!" the Queen Mother agreed.
Zhu Qingan looked at her aunt. She knew she wasn't lying. In her past life, when her aunt was around, she had lived a carefree life, even oblivious to the immensity of the world. So in this life, she was determined to make sure her aunt lived a long life.
"Your Majesty, I've already warned you. As for the Imperial Concubine, I've already asked her to copy scriptures!" The Queen Mother stroked Zhu Qing'an's hair and sighed, "They dared to hurt Qing'an like this. I will make them pay a heavy price. However..."
If it were in the previous life, Zhu Qing'an might not have understood that there are things in this world that her aunt cannot do.
But now, Zhu Qing'an understood that her aunt had her own difficulties, and it was already a rare achievement for her to be able to do this.
"Aunt, Qing'an understands everything!" Zhu Qing'an held her aunt's hand. "Your Majesty is wary of you, and the Imperial Concubine is only following His Majesty's orders. If you have any dirty dealings with His Majesty at this moment, it will surely cause unrest in the former dynasty!"
When these words were spoken, the Queen Mother's eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
Over the years, the Queen Mother had taught Zhu Qing'an a lot, but Zhu Qing'an was too well protected and too naive. Now, Zhu Qing'an's words made the Queen Mother look at him with new eyes.
"Qing'an has grown up!" The Queen Mother said with relief. She did not doubt anything. She just thought that Zhu Qing'an had grown up and knew how to look at the situation after the consequences of the previous dynasty.
How could she have known that her beloved niece, who had experienced life and death, would not have made any progress.
