The wife is the king of the palace

Lin Xu ignored Jin Qi's blinking eyes that had been staring at him all the time, and he also went to bed and lay down. During the movements, he flicked his fingers, and the candle lamp on the table flickered twice and went out.

When the darkness came, Jin Qi became more and more energetic, just because of the vague fragrance of pen and ink on Lin Xu's body beside him, and the faint body temperature on his body.

That bed was really too small, two big men lay side by side on it, their arms inevitably touched each other lightly.

Jin Qi's whole body was stiff, and he tried his best to ignore the existence of the people around him, but as Lin Xu's body temperature on his arms became clearer, his eyes widened and he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Lin Xu didn't seem to notice anything. After lying down for a long time, his breathing became calm and he fell asleep quickly.

Jin Qi knew that the person beside him was asleep, and his tense body finally relaxed a bit. He gently turned over and lay on his side, looking at Lin Xu who was sleeping next to him. Sharing the same bed for the first time.

It's just that this was the first time that should have been blushing and heart beating, but Jin Qi somehow felt a little awkward.

Because of this, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night, but Lin Xu slept comfortably, and he didn't look like he was sleeping with his sweetheart at all, or was it because Lin Xu was ruthless to him in the first place?

Jin Qi couldn't fall asleep at all, but after thinking about it, he didn't even feel sleepy.

When Lin Xu woke up the next morning, Jin Qi had just closed his eyes because he was tired.

After breakfast, the three of them set out on the road again facing Yudubai in the sky.The morning light is cold, which is especially refreshing in this midsummer season.

The guards were driving outside the carriage. Inside the carriage, Jin Qi glared at Lin Xu who was sitting across from him with scarlet eyes.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xu looked at the book in his hand without looking up.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Jin Qi asked dryly, but he couldn't sleep all night.

"Acknowledge the bed?" Lin Xu finally raised his eyes and glanced at Jin Qi who was clearly depressed.

"Some." Jin Qi gritted his teeth.He began to doubt whether Lin Xu did this on purpose.

It was early morning in midsummer, and it didn't take long for the carriage to drive out of the town before the sky brightened.The originally cold morning light gradually dissipated with the rising sun in the sky, and the air gradually became a little hotter.

Lin Xu's hometown is far away from the capital city, and his parents live in a slightly remote town, and it will only get more and more remote along the way.

In order to hurry, they did not take the official road, but chose a closer trail. There were not many people on the trail, and the road was quite quiet, so quiet that Jin Qi, who had not slept well, was drowsy.

The carriage drove out of the town and walked forward for a long time. At noon, there were suddenly more pedestrians on the road.

Jin Qi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and what he saw was a group of ragged beggars.To say they are beggars, it is better to say that they are refugees who came from begging along the way, because ordinary beggars do not deliberately move in groups.

When the refugees saw them, they immediately surrounded them one by one, hoping to ask for some food and water.The food is okay, in this kind of weather we rely on footsteps to move, and many people in the group are already so dry that their lips are cracked and they are about to suffer from heat stroke.

The guard was a little embarrassed, and opened the curtain to look at Lin Xu.

"Give it to them!" Lin Xu put down the book in his hand.

Hearing this, the guards stopped the carriage, brought out water and food, only kept some, and distributed the rest.

Lin Xu sat in the carriage and still looked at the book in his hand but did not go out. Jin Qi only took a look and then stayed in the carriage. After the guards distributed the things and chatted with them, they got on the carriage again and continued. Hurry up.

"They are all refugees from the previous drought. They had nowhere to go, so they begged here along the way." The guards drove the carriage while reporting the news they had just inquired about.

Lin Xu still stared at the book in his hand expressionlessly, and did not hear anything outside the window. Jin Qi only nodded when he heard the words, and did not speak.

Surprise appeared in the guard's eyes when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but look at Jin Qi more.

"What?" Jin Qi was bored.

Lin Xu really wasn't a good choice for a trip together. He didn't talk much, he had a restrained temper, and he didn't take the initiative to say a word along the way.Although Jin Qi is not a chatterbox, he still feels a little uncomfortable being suppressed by this person.

"It's just that you don't seem surprised, my lord, so my subordinates are a little surprised." The guard's tone was respectful. Jin Qi is the emperor after all, and he can't ignore his identity.

In this world, Jin Qi is probably the only one who can be regarded as an ordinary person just because he wears a dragon robe when traveling in Weifu.

"You think this should be surprising?" Jin Qi raised his eyebrows lightly, with a smile still on his face, but his eyes were a little colder.

Counting it, it has been less than half a year since the disaster relief work.

The drought happened at the beginning of the year, but it happened to be spring, but there was no rain at all, and many crops in the fields did not germinate at all. Naturally, the court could not ignore the serious situation, and opened warehouses to release more than half of the national treasury.

As the emperor, Jin Qi was not stingy on this matter at the beginning, and there was no shortage of funds that should be allocated, but now when he is traveling, he finds that the disaster relief that consumed more than half of the national treasury is still full of refugees.

He was not surprised by this, but the guard was surprised by it. It's not that Jin Qi couldn't understand his thoughts.

It's not that he doesn't know anything about the prince who was pampered and raised in captivity in the palace. He was familiar with the maids and eunuchs in the palace who were not favored since he was a child, and he has already seen through these things.

When the DPRK and China lend funds for disaster relief, [-]% of what is allocated from the treasury is deducted by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and [-]% is deducted by local officials, and then there are small children. I am afraid that less than [-]% can actually be sent to refugees.

He would be really surprised if there were no refugees left in the disaster relief.

But even so, he still had to call when it was time to call, just to send the remaining [-]% to the refugees.

"I'm sorry, it's my subordinate who is being presumptuous." The guard lowered his head, he put away the surprise in his eyes, but felt that Jin Qi was a little different from what he remembered.

Dayu didn't practice literary inquisition, so many people knew about Jin Qi's usurpation of the throne.Naturally, the guard had also heard of it, and since he had been with Lin Xu all the time, he knew more about this matter than ordinary people outside.

It is widely rumored that Jin Qi was cruel, ruthless, and ruthless. He poisoned and killed the first emperor for the throne, and killed Concubine Li who had raised him for many years and Concubine Li's eldest son when he usurped the throne.After ascending to the throne, he did not kill less people, otherwise, the court would not basically have no veterans of the former court.

The guards didn't dare to say what happened back then, but now there is a row of heads hanging outside the Golden Luan Hall, but the guards saw this incident with their own eyes.

He doesn't think it's against harmony to apply these words viciously, cold-blooded, and ruthless to Jin Qi, but Jin Qi doesn't seem to be the kind of emperor who only knows how to kill people.The guard glanced at Lin Xu again, vaguely understanding why Lin Xu said Jin Qi was a good emperor.

The guard put his mind away and continued to drive the carriage, but Jin Qi, who was bored, looked at Lin Xu.

The secret in Jin Qi's heart was that he was not of the orthodox blood of the Dayu royal family. He had never mentioned it to Lin Xu, and he had been hiding it from this man for more than seven years.

It is not easy to stick to this secret, especially in recent days, he always thinks about it from time to time.

"I ask you a question, and you answer it honestly." Jin Qi couldn't help but speak.

Lin Xu didn't answer, but just looked up at him, motioning him to continue talking.

"If, I mean if, if I am no longer the emperor, and you are no longer the prime minister, what do you think?" Jin Qi was a little nervous.

"What's the meaning of this question?" Lin Xu didn't raise his head, it was not the first time Jin Qi asked him this question.

"Of course." Jin Qi was a little stubborn.This question may be meaningless to Lin Xu, but it is very meaningful to him, just because he understands Lin Xu's character so well.

Although the outside world said that Lin Xu, the youngest prime minister in the history of Dayu, was unrestrained and unrestrained, but Jin Qi knew that Lin Xu was more capricious than casual.

He's the kind of guy you can say whatever you want

Well, he can easily make all the officials in the court scream with anger, and even the emperor and I dare to plot against him.

He has been in the human world from beginning to end, in his private courtyard, in his three-acre land, in his own world.

It's not that he doesn't have his own bottom line and persistence. On the contrary, he takes some red tape rules very seriously.

This point has basically never been absent from the early court since he entered the court as an official, and he would never use his power in court matters, even if he wanted to take out corrupt officials, he must have full evidence before he could do it.

It is precisely because he knows that Lin Xu likes those red tapes and rules, Jin Qi can't help but care.

Because according to Lin Xu's character, according to his character of valuing those dogmas and etiquette, if Lin Xu knew that he was not of Dayu's orthodox royal blood, and knew that his throne was not right, he would definitely help people of orthodox blood.

Lin Xu has this ability, so he can do it.

Lin Xu didn't answer. After reading for a while, he put down the book in his hand, opened the curtains and glanced at the extremely bright sunlight outside, and asked the guards to stop the carriage in the forest ahead and find a place to rest temporarily.

In this weather, they felt extremely hot sitting in the carriage, and the horses that had been running were already sweating profusely.

After a while, the carriage drove into the woods.The scorching summer mood was dispelled by the woods.

The carriage stopped, the guards unloaded the cart, led the horse to find water to drink, and ate some grass by the way.

Lin Xu got out of the carriage and skillfully set up the stove. Seeing this, Jin Qi went around to gather some firewood.

Seeing Jin Qi offer to help, Lin Xu nodded, seemingly relieved.

Jin Qi was not happy when he was affirmed, on the contrary, he was a little angry, "I used to support myself in the palace." Why do both of them feel that he can't live without the palace?

He didn't dare to say that he was easy to grasp these things, but the maids and eunuchs bullied him when he was young, so he always took care of himself.

Lin Xu nodded again.

Jin Qi became a little anxious, "I'm not someone who doesn't work hard, even if I leave the palace, I won't starve to death."

"Could it be that the emperor still wants to praise you?" Lin Xu looked at the firewood that Jin Qi helped gather.He didn't say a word from the very beginning, but Jin Qi kept talking all by himself.

Jin Qi opened his mouth, holding back his words but didn't know what to say, because the more he said, the more he responded to Lin Xu's words of praise.

Jin Qi glanced around, seeing that Lin Xu's guard hadn't come back yet, he hesitated for a moment and moved cheekily to squat beside Lin Xu to help light the fire.

"You haven't answered my previous question." Jin Qi was quite inquisitive.

"If you weren't the emperor, and if I wasn't the prime minister, then we would never have met each other from the beginning." Lin Xu was so entangled that he couldn't help it.

When Jin Qi heard the words, it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "I don't understand the style."

After a short pause, Jin Qi added viciously: "Has anyone ever told you that your character is really unlikable, and you might end up living alone all your life! There's no one to talk to you."

Jin Qi cracked the firewood in his hand, as if it was someone's neck.

"Don't bother the emperor to worry." Lin Xu said quietly.

Jin Qi bared his teeth, snapped all the firewood in his hand, and threw them all into the fire.

"Your question is meaningless. Now that you are the emperor and I am the prime minister, there is no such thing as what you said." Lin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a bit of impatience.

Jin Qi was endless, asking again and again.

"Prime Minister, Wen Tao and Wu Lue are extremely smart, and he can be Dayu's prime minister with or without me, naturally it doesn't matter." Jin Qi's face was slightly flushed when he saw this, and he was angry.

Lin Xushang clicked his tongue lightly, and before Jin Qi could react, he suddenly pulled someone over, and threatened in an extremely impatient tone: "Whether to be the prime minister is my business, as for the throne, I will allow you to Before you come down, you sit there for me."

Lin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly

Focusing, Sen Leng's gaze is like a snake's eyes, full of threats.
