Li Chisu boarded the dragon boat with two maids, Zhao Qi and Xiao Shiqing had already entered the cabin, only He Changzhou was waiting for them on the deck.

He Changzhou swept away his slumped attitude in front of Zhao Qi just now, and stood with his sword in his arms. He was slender and tall, youthful and energetic, with a dragon and a phoenix, but his face was not very good-looking.

Li Chisu met his undisguised contemptuous gaze, and said with a smile: "Why does General He look at me like this, but I accidentally offended the general in Beijing without knowing it?"

He Changzhou sneered, glanced at the two maids behind Li Chisu, and sarcastically said: "King Zhaonan is indeed the same as the rumors say, he is accompanied by beauties wherever he goes, and the dragon boat is no exception."

Li Chisu turned his head slightly, "Xiaoyu, Suhua, General He is praising you as beauties, and you haven't thanked the general yet."

"No need." He Changzhou stepped forward, patted Li Chisu's shoulder with his scabbard, and said coldly, "So what if it's you, you're not worthy at all."

After He Changzhou finished speaking, he left, leaving the three master and servant staring at each other.

Xiaoyu wondered: "Master, when did you offend this young general again?"

Li Chisu pressed his folding fan to his chin, thoughtfully, "I'm curious too."

An internal official greeted him and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to drink tea in the boat."

Li Chisu nodded, and said to the two maids: "You guys are waiting for me outside, I'll go and tease... go and greet the emperor."

Zhao Qi invited Li Chisu to drink tea, mainly because he wanted to ask the question that was so embarrassing and important that he had to ask it.However, Xiao Shiqing and He Changzhou sat on both sides of him, and he couldn't find a chance to speak.

"Brother Prime Minister, do you have anything else to do?" Zhao Qi asked tentatively.

Xiao Shiqing said: "It's never too late to see Li Chisu is busy."

"……Fine."

The internal officer led Li Chisu in, and before he saluted, Zhao Qi said, "I don't need to be a hypocrite, I'll give you tea."

Li Chisu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He looked Zhao Qi up and down, "Is your Majesty getting fat?"

Zhao Xi almost spit out a sip of tea, subconsciously blocked his stomach, looked at Li Chisu with resentment in his eyes, "I have gained weight recently."

The corners of Li Chisu's mouth fluttered, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, the emperor is very lucky."

Zhao Qi complained in his heart, what a blessing, do you want this blessing for you?

Xiao Shiqing took Zhao Qi's reactions into his eyes one by one, took a sip of tea, and said, "I heard that the prince has stayed in Jiangxia for three days."

Li Chisu said: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the Prime Minister."

"You have been away from the fief for several months, why didn't you return to Nanzhou immediately after leaving Beijing, so as to calm the hearts of the army and the people?"

Li Chisu smiled leisurely, "The civil and military officials in Nanzhou are different from those in the northern region. When the master is not around, they can do whatever they have to do, and they don't have to worry about the safety of the master. Don't talk about it for a few months, as long as the emperor says something, I will leave you alone." A year or so is not a problem."

What's the use of keeping you for a year or so, let you watch the dragon egg be born?Zhao Qi rolled his eyes, and said: "Since you are the prince of Nanzhou, what kind of words are you always wandering around outside, you should go back as soon as possible."

"The emperor's lesson is," Li Chisu wondered, "it's just that I didn't marry the concubine, and when I returned to Nanzhou, I would be reprimanded by those old ministers. The thought of it gives me a headache."

He Changzhou sneered: "Oh, at this time, you still want to marry the princess?"

Li Chisu was slightly surprised, "At this time? Is there anything wrong at this time?"

Zhao Qi gave He Changzhou a "shut up" look, and said: "I am the emperor, not your father, what's the use of you shouting in front of me all day long that you can't marry a princess, how can I change you into a princess?" Won't the princess do it?!"

Li Chisu chuckled, "What the emperor said is that for such a thing, the girl still needs to be willing."

Zhao Qi's face became even more stinky, "The girls don't want it either."

Xiao Shiqing suddenly said: "Enough."

As soon as Prime Minister Xiao opened his mouth, the emperor obediently shut up, let alone the other two.

"The king cannot leave the fief for a long time," Xiao Shiqing said indifferently, "within two days, please set off to return to Nanzhou."

Li Chisu's eyes darkened, and he soon returned to his usual flirtatious and frivolous, "Is the emperor also meaning this?"

"Must," Zhao Qi said to the prime minister's brother, "what the prime minister means is what I mean."

The smile on Li Chisu's face faded, "I obey the order."

For the next time, Xiao Shiqing stayed with Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi never found a chance to ask Li Chisu.

At noon, the dragon boat finally landed in Jiangxia.The difference from Cangzhou is that although the officials in Jiangxia lined up to pick them up, they all looked embarrassed and sallow, as if they hadn't had a full sleep or eaten a whole meal for several days and nights.

Pang Dai, the prefect of Jiangxia, was a thin man in his 40s. Standing at the front, the hem of his official uniform was covered with wet mud and his hair was messed up.He kowtowed to Zhao Qi and said: "Pang Dai, the prefect of Jiangxia, leads all the ministers of Jiangxia to welcome the Holy Majesty."

Zhao Qi asked curiously, "Where did Aiqing come from, and how did she make herself like this?"

Pang Dai said ashamedly: "I'm afraid the emperor will make fun of me if I say it."

Zhao Xi said: "Don't worry, I have received professional training, and generally speaking, I don't know how to laugh." Unless I can't help it.

Pang Dai twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was saving the emperor's palace just now."

"You mean, my palace was also flooded?"

"It rained heavily for days, and the Huai River burst its embankments in many places, and most of the city was flooded. Even though the emperor's palace is located on a high ground, it was hard to escape."

"That's true." Li Chisu said, "I have only stayed in Jiangxia for three days, and I have to change places every day. Now there are only a handful of places in Jiangxia City where people can live."

Pang Dai said: "But don't worry, the emperor, I have found a new place for the emperor to live in. It is a century-old inn in Jiangxia. This inn..."

Zhao Xi didn't have the time to listen to these nonsense, he looked at Xiao Shiqing, "Prime Minister, my palace is like this, don't the people in the city..."

Xiao Shiqing patted Zhao Qi's waist calmly to show comfort, "The emperor will go to the cave to rest first, and I will go to the bank of the Huai River myself."

Zhao Xi said: "I will go with the prime minister!"

Xiao Shiqing didn't even think about it, "No way."

"Why, I also want to see how serious it is."

Xiao Shiqing glanced at Zhao Qi's lower abdomen, "It's not safe for you there."

"But……"

Xiao Shiqing: "Pang Dai."

"The subordinate is here."

"Escort the emperor to the inn."

Zhao Qi felt a little angry again in helplessness, and complained in a low voice: "My brother completely ignored my opinion again."

Xiao Shiqing was slightly taken aback, "You..."

"Forget it," Zhao Qi said depressedly, "Brother, go, I'm leaving."

Xiao Shiqing came back to his senses and nodded lightly: "Your Majesty, be careful on the road."

Zhao Qi left with a little resentment.Jiang Dehai was about to follow, when he heard Xiao Shiqing say to him: "Persuade the emperor."

Jiang Dehai smiled bitterly, "I try my best."

Zhao Qi took the ministers and concubines... oh, there were no concubines, and took a carriage to the inn where he was staying.On the way, it started to rain again, and it tended to get bigger and bigger. Zhao Qi was a little worried, "Brother Prime Minister, did you bring an umbrella?"

Jiang Dehai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, whoever does not have an umbrella will not be without an umbrella."

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell on the carriage, making a muffled sound. "It's raining so hard, it's useless to hold an umbrella."

"That's why the prime minister didn't let the emperor go with him." Jiang Dehai worried the old lady's heart, "Many places in the Huai River have broken banks, and the terrain is dangerous. Now the emperor is pregnant again, how can he go to such a place."

"But he didn't know that I was pregnant, so he didn't let me go, probably because he was afraid that I would cause him trouble." Zhao Qi's greatest advantage is that he has self-knowledge, "But I am really useless. If I go, I will hinder him. alright."

Jiang Dehai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must never say such words! You are the Son of Heaven, how could it be useless!"

"Okay, you don't need to comfort me." Zhao Qi coaxed himself, and said with high spirits, "Although I can't come to the scene in person, there are still many things I can do."

When he arrived at the inn, Zhao Qi didn't rest for a moment, and asked Pang Dai about flood control and disaster relief.

Zhao Qi: "How many breaches are there now?"

Pang Dai: "Going back to the emperor, there are twelve places in total, and five places have been filled in. These ministers have written them down in the memorial."

Zhao Qi frowned: "As the emperor, I'm really busy, and I don't have time to memorize the content in your notebook. What about the remaining seven places?"

Pang Dai: "I have ordered people to repair the embankment overnight, but the rain continued..."

Zhao Qi had a serious face: "I'm sorry Ai Qing for this disaster, but I still want to point it out. You have a big responsibility. You are Jiangxia's prefect and have lived in Jiangxia for decades. Why didn't you plan ahead?"

Pang Dai was wronged: "Your Majesty, I have taken precautions, but this year's rainy season is ten times better than previous years."

Zhao Qi: "Then you must...you have to solve this problem."

Pang Dai was helpless: "I want to solve it, but the tools needed to repair the embankment have never been enough."

Zhao Qi: "You can buy it."

Pang Dai: "But the government's disaster relief money has already gone to the victims first, and the government is really stretched..."

Zhao Qi said decisively: "Buy!"

Pang Dai: "???"

Zhao Qi sighed: "At the end of the day, it's not your fault, it's all my fault. My biggest mistake is to let you make a mistake."

Pang Dai and other officials knelt on the ground, "I don't dare, my majesty, I made a mistake—"

……

After nightfall, the rain still showed no signs of abating.

While arranging his luggage, Xiaoyu teased his master: "It's all right now, I didn't catch up, and I was sent back to the fief in a disgruntled manner."

Suhua asked: "Does the lord really want Nanzhou?"

Li Chisu turned the folding fan in his hand, and said casually: "If you don't answer, you are resisting the order, and you will lose your head."

Suhua didn't believe it: "Is the prince willing to leave like this?"

"Of course I'm not reconciled," Li Chisu said leisurely, "I don't dare to expect anything else, but before I leave, let me kiss Fangze at least."

"Kiss Fangze?" Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Isn't that considered extravagant?"

Li Chisu tapped Xiaoyu's head with the handle of his fan, "Little girl, don't be too harsh, otherwise you won't be able to marry in the future."

Xiaoyu blushed, "Whether I can get married or not, the prince doesn't care!"

The three masters and servants were talking, and Xiao Songzi, who had finally recovered from his seasickness, knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's invitation."

Xiaoyu was surprised and said: "It's so late, why is the emperor looking for the master?"

Li Chisu smiled, "That's right, what does the emperor want me for?"

Zhao Qi showed kindness and power to Jiangxia officials, and he didn't have the energy to take care of his "private affairs" until midnight.He Changzhou wanted to meet Li Chisu with him, but he sent him away with reason and emotion.

When Li Chisu arrived, Zhao Xi was the only one in the house.

Zhao Qi changed into normal clothes, and his face looked a little tired, but in Li Chisu's eyes, he was still an alluring little beauty - if only the little beauty didn't look at him so sharply.

Li Chisu saluted Zhao Qi with a smile, "See Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi let out a "hmm" and sat up straight.

"Is the Prime Minister not here?"

"He hasn't come back yet."

Li Chisu said: "No wonder - General He isn't there either?"

Zhao Qi frowned, "I'm talking to you, but you keep asking others what to do."

The corner of Li Chisu's mouth was smiling, showing a graceful and graceful appearance, elegant and peaceful. "What the emperor said is, don't mention them, only mention the emperor and his ministers." He took a step forward, and looked at Zhao Qi with his water-shearing eyes, "Then, why did the emperor summon his ministers to face the saint alone late at night? ?”

Zhao Qi first made a wave of mental construction for himself, and slowly said: "I ask you, what did you do to me on the night of the palace banquet?"

Li Chisu suddenly smiled, "So the emperor is still struggling with this matter."

"It must be entangled," Zhao Qi said angrily, "or let someone eat it up and get away with it."

"Eat it clean?" Li Chisu was a little surprised, "Is the emperor talking about me?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhao Qi said with a condensed face, "tell me exactly what you did that day."

Li Chisu's thoughts returned to more than three months ago.

During the palace banquet, he was called to the Imperial Garden by an unsigned letter, but the person who wrote the letter did not show up for a long time. He waited for a long time, and when he was about to leave, he ran into a private meeting with Duke Huai and Rong Tang.He doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, let alone Duke Huai is still one of his players.He left after watching the excitement, and it was completely dark at this time.

The road in the palace was complicated, and without anyone leading the way, he unknowingly took him to the vicinity of Yonghua Palace, and saw a person walking out of the palace, which could almost be described as fleeing.

He recognized that person as He Changzhou He Xiaojun, a young hero with a reputation far and wide, what happened to make him so flustered?

Driven by curiosity, he walked into the palace and found that there was not a single maid and eunuch inside.He thought of the rumors he heard not long ago: the emperor dotes on his male favorite Rong Tang very much, and in order for Rong Tang to recover from his illness, he gave up his bedroom.But even if the emperor is not living in the Yonghua Palace, the precautions should not be so lax.

The inner hall was lit, and although the door was closed, it was not locked. He pushed it lightly, and the door opened.

Through layers of curtains, he saw a person on the bed, rolling over and over, looking extremely uncomfortable.He stepped forward, saw the person on the bed clearly, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

Half of the emperor's dragon robe was taken off, his shoulders were exposed, and there was a clear tooth mark on it; his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were hazy with tears, and his lips were shining brightly. With the emperor's appearance, his breathing accelerated for a while, and it was hard to hold on.

The emperor seemed to be very hot, he kept pulling the dragon robe on his body, and looked at him with wet eyes: "Help me, help me take off..."

"Really want me to help you?"

The emperor nodded with a sob.

"But I haven't taken off the dragon robe yet," he said with great interest, "The emperor will teach me?"

The emperor's long hair scattered on the pillow, shaking his head indiscriminately, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Don't teach? Then I can only take my time." With dexterous fingers, he took off the dragon robes one by one, "The emperor sent this to the door himself, so I can't blame me."

"Um……"

When he took off only his underwear, a familiar scent hit him.He raised his eyes in shock, "The smell on your body, this is..."

He had only smelled this kind of fragrance on the little mute girl before, and he only found it refreshing and intoxicating.He deliberately ordered someone to look for it, but he searched all over the capital and couldn't find this kind of spice. Why did it appear on the emperor?

He carefully looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the emperor, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became, and gradually overlapped with the face in his impression, he couldn't help but burst out laughing - that's how it was.

The little beauty on the bed was still not good after taking off her clothes, and grabbed his hand to prevent him from leaving.There was a faint blush on the fair skin, and the corners of the eyes and brows were even more gorgeous.

Since the emperor is his little dumb girl, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

However, just when he was determined to tear the "little dumb girl" to pieces, a cold voice sounded behind him: "What are you doing?"

Li Chisu returned to his thoughts, concealed the last scene, and told Zhao Qi the truth.

Even though he had already made mental preparations, when he heard this with his own ears, Zhao Qi's face turned pale and he was furious, "You took off my dragon robe, and then what?"

"Then..." Li Chisu's expression was ambiguous, "Naturally, he used his body to relieve the emperor."

The remaining blood on Zhao Qi's face was gone - he guessed right, how could it be Xiao Shiqing, it was this beast!

Li Chisu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the minister will be responsible to the Emperor."

Zhao Qi thumped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I, no, need, need!"

"No need?" Li Chi Suqi said, "No need, why did the emperor investigate this matter in detail?"

Zhao Qi said coldly: "Because I want to tell you that your cub is gone."

Li Chisu: "...Huh?"

Darker and darker.Xiao Shiqing returned to the inn feeling cool, most of his black clothes were wet, and the internal officials had prepared hot water for him to take a bath.

He asked, "Is the emperor asleep?"

"I fell asleep half an hour ago."

Before Xiao Shiqing could take off his outer robe, Fu Zi came to see him, "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Doctor Zhang has arrived."
