The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

When there was a drought in the four counties in the south, Luo Qinghan, who was still the crown prince, ignored everyone's obstacles and insisted on going south to ask for rain in person in order to solve the drought.

That decision seemed foolish and impulsive to all.

Even Wan Jun, who was still the prince's master at the time, thought so, and he even expressed his disappointment with the prince.

until--

The drought was resolved, and the prince returned successfully.

Only then did everyone know that they underestimated the prince's ability.

Wan Jun always remembered the scene when he was standing on the quiet and spacious Suzaku Street, welcoming the prince's return.

The prince at that time was younger and more immature than he is now.

But the firmness in his eyes never changed.

Wan Jun said slowly: "Actually, His Majesty knows very well that no one from an aristocratic family will support tax reform, including Weichen."

Luo Qinghan looked at him steadily.

"But you supported it."

Wan Jun smiled bitterly: "So Wei Chen has to pay for his actions."

After he finished speaking, he leaned on the desk and stood up with difficulty.

Eunuch Chang wanted to come forward to help him, but he pushed him away.

Wan Jun took two steps back, then fell to the ground again, with his forehead on the ground, and said word by word.

"Wei Chen Wanjun is old and frail, and is no longer able to serve His Majesty and the court. I beg His Majesty to be kind and allow Wei Chen to resign and return home."

Luo Qinghan's hand froze in place as he stretched out to help him.

For a time, needles could be heard in the imperial study.

After a long time, I heard Luo Qinghan asking.

"Why is this?"

There was endless bitterness in Wan Jun's voice.

"What Your Majesty wants to do is to fight against almost all noble families.

Weichen respects your courage and is willing to support you to turn your ideals into reality.

But Wei Chen is only a mortal after all, and Wei Chen also has his parents, wife, children and brothers.

There are too many worries on Wei Chen.

Wei Chen couldn't cut off these concerns, so he could only take the initiative to withdraw from this battle to protect himself. "

These words were so straightforward that Luo Qinghan couldn't even say a word of retention.

The teacher and student fell into a dead silence.

Luo Qinghan never thought that the first day he proposed tax reform, he would have to face such a difficult situation.

He opened his mouth and wanted to call a teacher, but he couldn't say anything.

In the end, he just spoke hoarsely.

"I need to think again."

Wan Jun stood up with the help of Eunuch Chang.

Wan Jun didn't seem to see the lonely look of the emperor, so he bowed his hands to him, then took the cane from Eunuch Chang's hand, and left the imperial study tremblingly.

He walked down the steps step by step.

There were already sedan chairs waiting under the steps.

Before getting into the sedan chair, Wan Jun looked back at the imperial study behind him.

There were mixed emotions in his cloudy eyes.

If he could be ten years younger, he would be willing to follow the emperor to give it a shot.

But now he is very old, and he is more than enough to do things.

Even if he continues to stay in the court, he will not be able to help the emperor, and may even become a gap for others to break through the emperor's defense.

Instead of slowing down the emperor's pace, he took the initiative to resign.

Wan Jun sighed deeply.

Heart is indescribable helplessness and despair.

...

In Yunxiu Palace.

Xiao Xixi was about to have lunch when she heard that the emperor was coming again.

She immediately got up and went out to meet her, and happened to meet the emperor who was walking this way.

Luo Qinghan stopped her from preparing to salute.

Xiao Xixi noticed that his expression didn't look right.

She took the initiative to take his hand, led him into the house, and asked.

"Have you had lunch?"

Luo Qinghan: "Not yet."

Xiao Xixi: "Then let's eat with me."

She asked someone to add a set of tableware, and let Drizzle cook two more dishes.

Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi sat down beside the food table.

Xiao Xixi asked while pouring soup for him.

"What happened to you again? Why are you so unhappy?"

Luo Qinghan looked down at the bowl placed in front of him and said softly.

"I brought up the tax reform at the court today, and many people expressed their opposition."

Xiao Xixi: "Isn't this expected?"

Luo Qinghan: "But what I didn't expect was that Taishi Wan would resign because of this."

Xiao Xixi was stunned.

She knew Master Wan.

When Luo Qinghan was still the prince, this old lady was his teacher, and the prince respected him quite a bit.

Luo Qinghan: "I know that tax reform is difficult, and I know that there will be many obstacles along the way, but I didn't expect that on the first day, Taishi Wan would draw a clear line with me."

In fact, it's not that he can't accept Wan Jun's resignation. After all, Wan Jun is already getting old and his health is getting worse and worse. It is a matter of time before he resigns and returns home.

What he couldn't accept was that Wan Jun chose to resign today.

As soon as he proposed tax reform, he received such a head-on blow.

Invisibly added a strong pressure to him.

Xiao Xixi: "Did you find that this road is harder than you expected?"

Luo Qinghan: "Well."

Xiao Xixi: "Then will you give up?"

Luo Qinghan: "No."

Xiao Xixi spread out her hands: "Isn't it enough? You won't give up anyway. What do you want to do? Try this Longjing Shrimp, it's refreshing and delicious, especially to your taste."

Luo Qinghan looked at the shrimp that was caught in his bowl, and was silent for a moment. In the end, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the shrimp and put it into his mouth.

Xiao Xixi looked at him expectantly.

"Is it tasty?"

Luo Qinghan swallowed the shrimp: "Not bad."

Xiao Xixi: "Eat more if you like it. Let me tell you, there is no trouble in this world that can't be solved by one meal. If there is, then eat another meal!"

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Does she think everyone is a foodie like her? !

After the two had lunch, Luo Qinghan didn't leave, he stayed and took a nap with Xixi.

There was a real husband, and the humanoid pillow was thrown aside by Xiao Xixi.

She slept with Luo Qinghan in her arms for a while, and soon woke up again.

She got up and touched the humanoid pillow.

Luo Qinghan asked, "What happened to you?"

Xiao Xixi: "You feel hard on your body. It's not comfortable to hold at all. It's better to hold a pillow softer and more comfortable."

As she said that, she brought the humanoid pillow over and hugged it into her arms, with a contented expression on her face.

Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.

Xiao Xixi didn't realize that someone was about to be overwhelmed with jealousy.

She lay back on the pillow, ready to go back to sleep.

Luo Qinghan reached out and pulled the pillow out of her arms.

Xiao Xixi looked at her in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Luo Qinghan grabbed the pillow roughly and asked coldly, "I can only choose one between me and it. Who do you choose?"

Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would tear up the pillow in a fit of anger, so he answered quickly.

"I choose you, I choose you! I must choose you!"

Luo Qinghan's expression softened slightly.

He threw the pillow to the ground and warned in a deep voice.

"You are not allowed to touch this pillow when I am here in the future!"
