Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 120 What is the relationship between them?
Sima Yu didn't come back for lunch, he didn't come back until evening, he entered the house with the cold air outside, took off his snow-covered cloak and handed it to Handong.

Qing Ge stood up to greet her, but Sima Yu walked up to her side and hugged her gently: "I'm cold, so sit still and I'll go to the stove to warm up. It's snowing outside."

Qing Ge turned around and sat down, "Is it snowing? Is it big?"

"It's not big, it's just some snow particles, but it looks like it's going to fall in the sky." Sima Yu changed into a loose robe and sat by the stove, warming his cold hands, frowning slightly, and sighed slightly after a while tone.

Sima Yu was thinking about something and sighed unintentionally, but it was very obvious to Qing Ge's ears. He couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "Is something bothering you? You came back late today, or is it because of the lack of water in the west?"

"Political affairs are naturally not optimistic, but this is not what worries me now." Sima Yu walked over and took Qing Ge into his arms, with warmth in his body, Qing Ge could not help but move into his arms, he hesitated After a while, he continued: "I told you not to be annoyed."

Qing Ge's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he went through bad things like cheating, going on an expedition, etc. in his head, and finally nodded and said, "Say it, I'm not angry."

Sima Yu rubbed his chin on the top of her hair, and said slowly: "The emperor let Qiu Zhenzhen go."

At first, Qing Ge felt that all his expectations had come to nothing, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly reacted, and said in surprise, "What?! Let it go?!"

"Don't worry." Sima Yu rubbed her soft hair again and again, as if rubbing a poodle with fried hair, "This matter is strange to say, you must never think that it is Wan'er's request."

"Princess Wan?!" Qing Ge's eyes widened slightly, but she suddenly realized, "She deliberately made me unhappy."

"She went back to the palace with great difficulty, and my father naturally obeyed her. She persuaded my father to say that although Qiu Zhenzhen has gone too far, the crime is not worthy of death, especially since her father is an important minister, so she must be more cautious. She suggested that I Divorce his wife and let Qiu Zhenzhen go back to her mother's house, it's punishment for the Qiu family to look so unsightly, and save Qiu Lingju's daughter's life, both sides are enough to appease."

"Death is not a crime?!" Qing Ge felt his head was going to explode, "Taking one of her life for my child's life is just taking one's life for one's life, what's wrong? Expensive?!"

Sima Yu looked grim: "That's exactly what I said. But it is obvious that Wan'er's idea is more in the favor of the father. He is bothering Qiu Lingju to come to plead for mercy every day, and he hopes that he can contribute to the drought. Naturally, it is the best way to resolve the drought." Okay. I really can't, so I have to agree, but fortunately, I can get rid of Qiu Zhenzhen, it's a good thing for me, her and you..."

"There is a vacancy for the crown prince, I'm afraid the father will come out with a moth." Qing Ge sighed softly, feeling that the road ahead is long and he doesn't know when it will end.

"Of course you are the princess, I would never accept it if it were someone else." Sima Yu said seriously.

Qing Ge tapped his forehead and said: "You forgot that I am still blind? That is definitely not the candidate for the Crown Princess in my father's heart."

Sima Yu frowned, kissed Qing Ge lightly on the forehead and said: "When you recover, I will bring this matter up with the emperor. Before you, marrying a wife and taking a concubine was just the order of the parents, and politics was the matchmaker. After you, I won't accept another person, and I will make my father die."

Qing Ge seemed to be able to imagine Sima Yu's resolute face and sharp outline at this time, and couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart.Fortunately, fortunately, the person she loves also loves her.

She clasped fingers with Sima Yu, raised her head and said, "Since this matter can only be settled in this way, let Lan'er give a message to Mr. Bian and Ziheng. It can be regarded as an explanation, after all, they also contributed a lot."

Sima Yu nodded, told Lan'er a few words and let her go.

This night was the first time Sima Yu wanted her after Qing Ge's illness, because he cared about her body very much, and was very considerate and tender.Despite this, Qing Ge still felt quite tired, and fell asleep after everything was over. Sima Yu stroked her sweaty hair behind her ears, and carefully looked at her red-stained face. She still remembered her tenderness when we first met She has a pretty face, chattering, and lively personality. Over the years, her face has become haggard and her temperament has become round. Before doing things, she always looks forward and backward, and is concerned about his status. endured.With soreness and regret in his heart, he couldn't help but kissed her on top of her hair, put his arm on her neck and held her in his arms, and finally fell into a deep sleep amid mixed feelings.

Qing Ge may have slept very soundly all night because of being tired. When she woke up the next day, the sun was already high, the heavy snow had fallen all night, and the warm winter sun covered the bed. She rubbed her eyes and stood up, only to hear something There was constant laughter and laughter in the room, as if she felt like a world away, she was stunned and shouted: "Lan'er!"

"Hey!" Lan'er responded, and sneaked in through the curtain, with a smile still on her face, seeing that Qing Ge woke up, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Mr. Bian has been waiting outside for a long time."

Qing Ge smiled wryly: "Why did you make him wait again? Hurry up and wash me up."

Lan'er smiled mischievously and said: "It's okay, I told Mr. Bian that my mother was tired last night and needs to sleep more this morning!"

Qing Ge choked, almost swallowed the mouthwash, finally spit out the water in a small basin, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lan'er was really annoyed when she saw her thin skin, so she curled her lips and said: "Your Majesty, what a shame! Shy, kidding, I dare not say that!"

Only then did Qing Ge put his heart back, glared at her, blushed and did not speak.It was not easy for Ren Lan'er to put on a pomegranate jacket for herself, put on her lip balm and came out, Qingge laughed and said, "Mr. Bian was kept waiting for a long time again."

"It doesn't matter what the empress is talking about." Bian Jiusi stopped talking with Handong, and got up to greet her.

"Seeing that you have a good chat? Jiusi is really popular with girls." Qing Ge teased him, and stretched out his wrist to let Bian Jiusi feel his pulse.Bian Jiusi's expression froze, and then he smiled again: "I'm not here today to feel the pulse."

"Oh?" Qing Ge also paused, and then put down his sleeves, "Mr. Bian didn't come here for a pulse check for the first time, it seems that there is something important?"

Bian Jiusi put his hands in his sleeves, took two steps and said, "I don't know if it's an important matter..."

There are still things that Bian Jiusi is not sure about, Qing Ge suddenly became curious, and said: "Let's hear it?"

"I heard from Lan'er last night that Princess Wan begged Qiu Zhenzhen, and Qiu Zhenzhen was released without charge and returned to her mother's house?"

"That's right, Sima Yu has argued hard, but the holy will is hard to change..."

"No, no, my lord misunderstood. I don't have any opinion on His Royal Highness. It's just that I felt weird after hearing about this incident last night, so I sent a signal to my subordinates outside the palace to monitor Qiu's mansion for me. I found something interesting. thing."

"Interesting thing?" Qing Ge turned his head and thought for a moment, "Isn't the Qiu family wanting to rebel?"

Bian Jiusi twitched his lips, and said with a smile in his eyes: "A civil servant can't afford to stir up such a storm, not to mention that my daughter is saved, so why take the risk. Of course not."

"Then I can't think of anything." Qing Ge spread her hands.

Bian Jiusi took two steps closer, and said with a secret expression: "Princess Wan secretly goes in and out of Qiu's mansion late at night, is it strange?"

Qing Ge was taken aback, opened his eyes slightly, and moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he was shocked for a long time before he said: "No way? I don't know what kind of relationship these two have, let alone Both of them are female relatives and need to go in and out late at night?"

Bian Jiusi showed concern and said: "According to my report, it is indeed the case. But I have no way of knowing what Princess Wan is going to the Qiu Mansion for. Whether it is a secret plot or condolences, it is hard to say. So I don't know if it is an important matter."

Qing Ge was also noncommittal, the two of them were silent for a moment, then Qing Ge said: "I will talk to Sima Yu about this, so that he can pay more attention to the Qiu family and Princess Wan."

Bian Jiusi nodded, and asked again: "Your Highness, have you been worrying about the drought in recent days?"

"Jiu Si also heard about it?" Qing Ge blurted out, and suddenly felt amused, "I made a fuss, you know the world's major events without leaving your home."

Bian Jiusi laughed softly, with a clear and warm voice: "Every time you see me, if you don't mock me, you won't be Yinyin."

"What ridicule? I'm just telling the truth." Qing Ge pretended to be stupid, "I also know that you are not only aware of the border drought, but also have a solution, but it's a secret."

Bian Jiusi clapped his hands and said, "Yinyin, Yinyin, nothing can escape you! But I'm not keeping it secret, it's just that no one cares about it!"

"I'm here to ask you now!" Qing Ge smiled.

"Ask for His Royal Highness?" Bian Jiusi asked.

"Of course not. Although I will definitely help him when I find out, I still have to ask the bottom line, and it has nothing to do with him."

"Since it was Yin Yin's question, Jiusi knows that he can talk all kinds of things." Bian Jiusi smiled and said, "The drought is not unsolvable. Once a river channel is opened in the mountainous area, the weather will turn warm within a month. Once the stream melts, it can be used as water; secondly, groundwater is dug out, and the underground water flow in the border town is rich. Do you remember the grass we used to weave grasshoppers when we were children? This grass is called sedge, and the ground where it grows is wet all the year round. It is a sign of abundant groundwater."

Qing Ge showed a sudden realization. Although she had no impression of this kind of grass, she still admired Bian Jiusi's erudition. She digested it silently for a moment and asked, "Then disaster relief...?"

"Drought disaster relief, firstly, the transportation of water is extremely difficult and the cost is extremely high, and secondly, silver is distributed layer by layer, and it is sporadic in the hands of local officials, and less than one out of ten benefits the people. It is all to fill the belly of corrupt officials in the middle, and then What's the use? As for emptying the treasury to pray for rain, it is not advisable to put the lifeblood of the country on the will of heaven. So in my opinion, it is only necessary to send an imperial envoy to go directly to the place with silver to supervise the digging of rivers and groundwater. Just get the job."

Qing Ge said: "That's right, that's right. Jiusi really has a good opinion!"

Bian Jiusi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that he is more familiar with the border town. If Qing Ge's memory is still there, he will definitely come up with the same method."
