Heaven

Chu Palace, Xihe Palace...

Jing Mingyu was bidding farewell to Jing Mingrui.

Jing Mingyu explained to his younger brother in detail how he received a secret edict from Jing Yu some time ago, how he heard that the capital had changed and traveled thousands of miles to control the situation, and how he sought Jing Mingrui as the regent.

Jing Mingrui nodded while listening.

When it came to dealing with government affairs, Jing Mingrui suddenly raised his head and asked, "Let Prime Minister Xiaolu handle daily affairs, and you don't express any opinions on anything. Who taught you the idea?"

Jing Mingyu was startled: "Did I do something wrong?"

Jing Mingrui smiled and said, "It's so right!" Although he has to be busy for a while now to deal with the backlog of official affairs, it is much easier than cleaning up the mess for the other party.My elder brother is not good at all things that require brains. Jing Yan, who once hoped to cultivate his skills, has a lesson in this regard.

Jing Mingyu said with a silly smile: "It's your sister-in-law's idea. You know, she has the final say in my house. Before leaving, she twisted my ears and warned me, saying that if I dare to approve a word on the memorial, don't even think about it." Enter her door again. Hehe—”

Jing Mingrui secretly laughed at the fact that his elder brother made no secret of being afraid of his wife.

Jing Mingyu looked at the person on the dragon chair with expectant eyes: "..."

Jing Mingrui raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else?"

Jing Mingyu bowed his head: "Uh...it's fine."

Jing Mingrui waved his hand: "If you have nothing to do, go back first. I will personally go to the south gate to see you off tomorrow morning."

Jing Mingyu hesitated to speak, secretly looked at the person across from him, and kept his feet on the spot.

Jing Mingrui suddenly smiled as if he had realized something, "I did a good job this time. You must make persistent efforts when you go back, and help me guard southern Xinjiang well."

Jing Mingyu finally received the long-awaited personal praise from his idol, and immediately felt satisfied, so he left the house with a smile.

When Jing Mingyu walked to the door, he saw Ji Kongqing walking in this direction.

"Fifth brother and sister, you seem... very energetic today?" Jing Mingyu looked at Ji Kongqing suspiciously.

"I think it's because elder brother is in good spirits on happy occasions?" Ji Kongqing joked with a smile seeing his excited face.

"Is that so?" Jing Mingyu muttered suspiciously.He touched his head, wondering if it's really because he's in a good mood that everything looks different?He looked up, indeed, the sky looks a little bluer today too?

After greeting Jing Mingyu, Ji Kongqing walked into the hall.

He came to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor the reorganization of the Beijing-China Three Battalions.Jing Mingrui had some ideas about the rearrangement of the personnel and equipment of the Liewu, Tianshu, and Shenwei battalions long before he took the throne.In the past few days, Ji Kongqing has been busy making plans for this matter, apart from leading troops to practice in the Liewu Camp.

Looking at the person who was wearing a fiery red tight-fitting leather armor, and his eyes were as bright as stars, Jing Mingrui's mood seemed to brighten up all of a sudden.It seems that since the wine tasting meeting, Ji Kongqing's mood suddenly improved?Although he thought about it several times in private, he didn't come up with a reason, but this did not prevent Jing Mingrui from being delighted by his change.

Ji Kongqing put the file on the case, looked sideways at Jing Mingrui and said, "I've been standing all day, are you going to give me a chair to sit down and talk?"

Jing Mingrui laughed: "You've been busy for a long day, so you can just pick up whichever chair you see from me. You can use the one under my buttocks if you like."

Ji Kongqing swept around, frowned at the large table, and raised his finger to the inner room: "Let's go inside and talk, if you can spread the things out, give me a couple of your royal snacks by the way .”

In the inner room of Xihe Palace, there is a large kang for temporary rest. There are always snacks and snacks on the kang table. Jing Mingrui is so busy these days, he often eats something in it to satisfy his hunger, and then leans on the kang. Take a break for a while.

Jing Mingrui nodded in agreement with the other party's proposal.He keenly noticed that Ji Kongqing seemed to like to talk with him very much these days, and hated the sense of distance between the two of them?Could it be because he became the emperor, and he felt that he and him were no longer as close as before?Jing Mingrui secretly decided that he must take care of this close friend, no matter what happened, the relationship between the two of them should be the nephew playing the lantern—as usual!

Ji Kongqing explained her latest plan to the other party.The Liewu and Tianshu Second Battalions have been reorganized and reorganized, with a force of about 12 and [-] respectively. They will be responsible for Chu's foreign wars as front-line combat forces.Soldiers who were eliminated from the Liewu Camp and still have combat effectiveness, the Shenwei Battalion and the defenders in various places re-counted their numbers and adjusted their establishment.Weed out those who have basically no combat effectiveness, disarm and return to the field, and give them resettlement.

Jing Mingrui was generally satisfied with the plan, and mentioned a few different factions of many generals.The two got together to discuss for a long time, and finally made a preliminary plan.

"Didn't you say you're hungry, why don't you eat?" Jing Mingrui felt a little hungry in his belly, and then he remembered why the person who asked him for snacks just came in and just talked about business and forgot to pad his stomach?

Ji Kongqing carefully looked at the four sets of dim sum in front of him in turn, and frowned: "I've never eaten 'Queen's' dim sum, and I don't know which one is better. If I pick one I don't like, I'm sorry to say no. After eating, I won't have an appetite to eat anything else later, hey—" He sighed, looking very distressed.

Jing Mingrui thought to himself, did you not eat dim sum in the palace when you were in Jing country?Or is there a big difference in flavor between the north and the south?Jing Mingrui doesn't have much research on food, so he eats a few mouthfuls of delicious food, and if it tastes bad, he can satisfy his hunger.But he didn't want to ask about Ji Kongqing's past in Jingguo Palace, so he smiled and took an egg yolk pastry that he had eaten yesterday and thought it tasted good, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ji Kongqing just wanted to have some gossip and jokes with Jing Mingrui.In fact, every dim sum on the plate was made small and exquisite, and he would have no problem trying a little of each.

Seeing the hand that was handed to him by the other party, Ji Kongqing froze for a moment, opened his mouth involuntarily, looked at Jing Mingrui's hand, and swallowed a whole egg yolk crisp without chewing.Fortunately, this piece was not too big, so it didn't choke him.Ji Kongqing clicked his mouth, it seems that he bit something just now?

Jing Mingrui couldn't help laughing and said: "My God! You are really hungry. If I didn't react in time, I would have given you two fingers as a snack."

Ji Kongqing realized what he had bitten, and immediately blushed, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

The two laughed together for a while.In fact, it was mainly because Ji Kongqing wanted to change the subject, but Jing Mingrui refused to let him go.

Jing Mingrui suddenly remembered the pile of business outside, and started to have a headache.Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving for a while, he decided to bring in the memorial and read it while chatting.

Ji Kongqing and Jing Mingrui discussed the contents of the memorial together. He had learned a lot and memorized it by analogy, and he could often give Jing Mingrui a lot of constructive advice.

It was like this until late at night, and finally finished all the affairs that were going to be dealt with that day, but Ji Kongqing still had no intention of getting up and leaving.

Jing Mingrui couldn't figure it out. The people who came to see him today seemed to be expecting something. Unfortunately, Ji Kongqing's mentality was completely different from that of Jing Mingyu who put all emotions on his face. He really couldn't guess at once. Get out the other person's mind.

Ji Kongqing walked around for a long time and finally couldn't help coughing: "What do you think of my outfit?"

Ji Kongqing seems to pay special attention to dressing these two days?Jing Mingrui didn't know what he was like in Jing country before, but since he came to Chu country, he always dressed plainly, why did he suddenly act uncharacteristically?

Ji Kongqing was originally extremely beautiful, a bit indistinguishable from male and female, but a scar on the left side of his face added a lot of vigor, making him look much more masculine.Sure enough, a man with a scar is more manly!Jing Mingrui sighed, he thought to himself that he still has scars all over his body now, but it's a pity that he can't take off his clothes casually to let people appreciate his masculinity.

Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time, Ji Kongqing couldn't help being a little discouraged. Even Jing Mingyu could tell that he was dressed differently than usual, so why didn't Mingrui respond at all?Sure enough, appearance is no longer a temptation for a person who looks extremely evil?

Jing Mingrui suddenly patted the table: "I've been meaning to say it for a long time, red really suits you! I've never seen anyone look better in red than you."

Ji Kongqing's eyes lit up after being praised, and he continued to look at Jing Mingrui expectantly.

Jing Mingrui was immediately depressed, didn't he just want me to praise his clothes?He racked his brains and couldn't think of a reason.

"Yes, I just like red to look festive." Ji Kongqing reminded with a smile.

Festive? !

Jing Mingrui wished he could slap himself to death with one palm, how could he forget about it?Seeing that Ji Kongqing was in a bad mood before, he still wanted to use this to make the other party happy!As a result, when I got busy, I left it behind.

"You wait here, I'll be right back!" Jing Mingrui jumped up, and swept out with lightness kung fu.

Ji Kongqing was dumbfounded, why did she run away, she just wanted a word of blessing from him!

"Happy birthday!" Jing Mingrui came back very quickly, he handed a palm-sized long box to Ji Kongqing as he said.

Ji Kongqing's heart warmed, she took the box and opened it to have a look.

It is a set of twelve wooden bookmarks.Various flying birds of different shapes are hollowed out and carved on it, which is really exquisite.

Ji Kongqing looked up at Jing Mingrui.

Jing Mingrui proudly said, "I carved this myself!"

Ji Kongqing was overjoyed, and looked at it carefully again: "Hmm...is it a picture of a hundred birds?"

"It's a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix." Jing Mingrui corrected.

"Where is the phoenix?" Ji Kongqing turned it over in confusion.Didn't see it?

"Give the picture of a hundred birds to little phoenix, and you will naturally become a hundred birds chasing the phoenix." Jing Mingrui laughed out loud.

Although Ji Kongqing was happy in his heart, he made a look of gnashing his teeth after being tricked by him: "Little Rui, I heard that there is a new work of 'Water and Fire', in order to make good use of your gift, I decided to buy it and read it to you right away." listen!"

As soon as Jing Mingrui heard the name of this extremely vulgar romance writer, the big smile on his face immediately turned into a wry smile.

In the five months since Jing Mingrui ascended the throne, Ji Kongqing has always maintained a good mood, spending time between the barracks and the palace.

However, a piece of military newspaper in July suddenly broke the peace in Danyang City...
