Heaven

Su Qingshuang has no interest in this man in front of her. The second thing she hates in her life is such a handsome man with a cunning heart. This, this, this, is just like herself!

But since I offended my beloved younger brother, even he has to pay a price!

————————————————————————————————————

Jing Mingrui sat at the table alone, thought about it, and couldn't help but beat the table bitterly.

The wedding is approaching, no matter how hard he tries, Ji Kongqing just refuses to let go, as if he has made up his mind to accompany the empress to finish the scene.

To be honest, Jing Mingrui himself doesn't know why he insists on this matter so much.

According to his usual thinking, he touched his chin, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this matter from the layout point of view?

But my heart is not happy!

Every time I think of Ji Kongqing insisting on it again and again, although he clearly knows that there is no possibility of any intersection between him and Su Qingshuang, it is purely to ensure the successful implementation of the plan, but in Jing Mingrui's view, there are one thousand and ten thousand more appropriate ones. Method, why sacrifice your own little phoenix?

Big deal, I'll go by myself!

Jing Mingrui thought a little angrily.

He didn't want to admit that Jing Mingquan's remark that the Queen of Yue State was actually a bit like him had deeply aroused his sense of crisis.

The only good thing about this matter is that every time he talks about this topic, Ji Kongqing always smiles gently, as if letting him do whatever he wants?

Jing Mingrui has been improving his kissing skills through practice on Ji Kongqing these days.

Although he ended up with a kiss every time because he failed to hold his breath, he still enjoyed it.

Jing Mingrui was a little puzzled, why didn't Ji Kongqing have this problem?Or else open your eyes and take a peek at what he does next time?

It feels so good to be close to someone you love!

Although Jing Mingrui always feels a little dissatisfied in his heart every time after kissing, there should be a step closer, right?It's a pity that his skill of drawing inferences by analogy didn't seem to be brought into play this time.

He looked depressedly at Ji Kongqing's smirk every now and then, as if he was waiting for him to ask, so he decided not to ask him!

Anyway, when I get down the mountain, it's the same when I ask Jing Mingquan to settle accounts!

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of Jing Mingrui's mouth.

I am really on the edge of my head, if I can't convince Little Phoenix, I can give him a drudgery.

The huge palace was empty, only a futon was placed in the middle.

Su Qingshuang was meditating on it.

This is one of the queen's daily practices, listening to the will of heaven and man.

In order for the empress to calm down better, the entire Baizhang area around Tianyin Hall is strictly prohibited from entering or leaving.

Su Qingshuang felt a little disapproving, she had been sitting here like this for nine years, and she had never heard anything except the occasional cry of her own hunger.

So after the third elder stopped checking in and out, her sitting posture became more and more casual.

She was lying on the ground bored, propping her head on the futon with one hand, and playing with a wooden jigsaw puzzle with the other.

Suddenly, Su Qingshuang frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Who is there?"

Jing Mingrui swayed out from behind the pillar, while looking up at the layout of the hall: "Your place is well built."

Surprised, Su Qingshuang sat up, with an astonishing aura erupting from her body.

Jing Mingrui was unmoved at all.

He walked across to Su Qingshuang, sat down cross-legged, and muttered: "Why do you only have one futon here? What if a guest comes?"

Su Qingshuang was even more astonished, the other party was not affected by her coercion at all?You must know that your ability has almost doubled here!

She secretly exerted all her strength, but there was a smile on her face: "Visitors are never entertained in Tianyin Hall, why don't we talk in another place?"

Jing Mingrui shook his head: "It's very good here, no one is afraid of being disturbed. Although the ground is a bit hard, it is clean."

Seeing the faint sweat stains on Su Qingshuang's forehead, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "You don't have to try it, don't say that this is just a copy of the Heavenly God Palace, even if it is really in the Heavenly God Palace, your power can't suppress mine .”

Su Qingshuang's eyes lit up, she had vaguely guessed who was coming just now, that's why she didn't call for the guards.

Hearing that the first emperor of Chu, Jing Yan, did not have the blood of heaven and man, she guessed at first that Jing Mingrui was less affected by her own pressure because he did not have an engraving, so he could pretend to be relaxed on the surface.

Looking at it now, the new Emperor Chu may not be easy.

Su Qingshuang smiled, and put away her arrogance for a moment: "I didn't expect His Majesty to come here, Qingshuang is really disappointed."

Jing Mingrui glanced at her: "Did you really not think of it or did you deliberately pretend to be a fool with me here?" For some reason, he just found this woman disliked, is it really like repelling each other?

Su Qingshuang smiled lightly and said: "My husband and His Majesty have a long-term friendship, and it is reasonable for His Majesty to come to watch the ceremony, but I did not expect His Majesty to come alone."

Husband!

Jing Mingrui immediately furrowed his eyebrows, frowned and said, "Can't you choose another candidate for the emperor's husband? I think Su Qianxue is good." Anyway, according to the rules, you also have to be husband and wife.

Su Qingshuang raised her eyebrows: "Actually, if His Majesty is willing to replace you, the marriage between the two countries is not out of the question." Are you kidding me, you haven't settled the debt for kidnapping my brother yet!

"You're dreaming!" Jing Mingrui raised his eyebrows, "Ji Xi's men are probably coming soon, why don't you talk about marriage with him?" The last news he got before going up the mountain, Ji Xi mobilized 15 troops in one go, I'm afraid it's impossible to easily let go of Yue's fat.

Su Qingshuang laughed, what she hated most in her life was political marriage.If possible, she wants to end the marriage system of the Queen of Yue, and only marry one person in her life.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and showed a charming smile: "Actually, I also think that if you want to marry, you have to find someone as mature and stable as Mr. Ji, so that you will be more distressed. A man younger than yourself is still unreliable. "

Jing Mingrui was furious: "You are not allowed to think of him!" I'm only a fucking year younger than you!He secretly cursed Su Qingshuang in his heart that he would marry a man younger than himself in the future!

Su Qingshuang wondered: "Although I intend to submit to the state of Chu, I still need some protection. Why don't your majesty marry Qianxue!"

Jing Mingrui said decisively: "This is also impossible!" Are you kidding me, with that little boy?

Su Qingshuang sneered: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. It seems that we can't talk anymore. I might as well go to His Majesty Emperor Jing for reconciliation."

Although in her heart she is not optimistic about Ji Xi.The state of Jing is located in the south, and its people value culture over military affairs. The country has many disadvantages, and it is difficult to compete with the state of Chu.

Jing Mingrui confidently said: "When the capital of South Korea was captured, Jun Han begged for surrender with the jade seal, but Ji Xi wiped out all of them. If you surrender him, even if he doesn't kill you now, I'm afraid the future will be bleak. What's more -"

"What's more?"

Jing Mingrui paused and said: "When I destroy the Jing Kingdom in the future, you are afraid that you will return to my hands!"

Su Qingshuang was overwhelmed by his confident aura for a moment, and was speechless in a daze.

"But I can help you with another favor." Jing Mingrui said unhurriedly.

"what?"

"I can promise you that once the Yue Kingdom is attached, I will unconditionally support seeds, farm tools and enough food every year to ensure that no one will starve to death in the original Yue Kingdom. And within five years no soldiers will be drawn, and within ten years There is no land tax in the country.”

Chu State is not like other countries. Its elite troops are all recruited with silver taels. Only the second-line army and local defenses are drawn from the people according to the method of drawing one person from five households.

However, the proportion of the army in the Yue State was already very high. Jing Mingrui not only did not plan to recruit young men, but instead planned to disband part of the army and let them go back to farming to help resume production, leaving only the elite to supplement the Chu army.

Jing Mingrui knew that the foundation of the Yue Kingdom was weak, and it might take some time to recuperate.He already had a new source of food in the north, so he didn't care about the land tax.

What's more, he has been coveting the copper mines in the Yue Kingdom for a long time, and he can send a large number of people to mine them, which is much more valuable than a little food.

Hearing Jing Mingrui's assurance, Su Qingshuang was determined, straightened her body and bowed to Jing Mingrui, "That's very good, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the people of Yue Kingdom."

Jing Mingrui raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Su Qingshuang pursed her lips and smiled, "Qingshuang will definitely not let Your Majesty see Young Master Ji getting married to me."

Jing Mingrui immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Su Qingshuang sighed: "Actually, Young Master Ji's character and appearance make Qingshuang's heart flutter, but it's a pity that he already has his own heart. If he plans to choose another spouse in the future, Your Majesty must remember to send someone to inform Qingshuang! "

She actually thought that Little Phoenix would...!

Jing Mingrui gritted his teeth in secret, and said with regret on his face, "I'm afraid he already has a deep-rooted affection for me, and His Majesty the Empress may have to wait in vain."

Su Qingshuang finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "I don't think Your Majesty can marry Young Master Ji, why not let him have a good time this time?"

"How do you know you can't?" Jing Mingrui blurted out.

"..." Su Qingshuang smiled slightly.

Jing Mingrui took a deep breath: "I'm going first, I hope the queen will not forget what I promised just now!"

"Ugh--"

"All the good men in the world are with men." Su Qingshuang assembled the jigsaw puzzles on the ground into a heart shape: "When will I find a good husband?"

After thinking about it, she messed up the jigsaw puzzle and reassembled it into the shape of a sword.

"It's up to you."
