Li Qinghuan

Chapter 38

Song Li walked down the steps and stood in front of him: "You look good, can't you see more?"

Ji Qing's eyes did not evade: "Of course, as long as His Highness is happy."

In the end, Song Li couldn't stand it any longer, and urged with a blushing face, "Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go."

Ji Qing: "Let's go. Did Ah Li come here on horseback?"

Song Li said unhappily: "Aren't you asking the question knowingly? How can I go so fast if I take a carriage."

Ji Qing smiled: "Let's go, I'll lead the horse for you."

Song Li put on a show and said, "Then there will be Lord Lao Ji."

Ji Qing raised his hand and flicked his forehead: "Let's go."

Song Li followed Ji Qing out of the yamen, a guard was already waiting at the door with a horse, Song Li quickly stepped onto the horse, Ji Qing held the rein firmly in his hand without saying a word, Really led the horse for him.

Song Li was so exhausted that he fell asleep lying on the horse's back in a daze before he could say a few more words to him.

Ji Qing walked and found that the people behind him were quiet. He looked back at Song Li, and found that Song Li had fallen asleep. He smiled and sighed, feeling distressed and funny at the same time, and slowed down calmly.

Song Li didn't know how long he had slept in a daze, and felt that the horse stopped.Before he could open his eyes, he heard Ji Qing calling him softly: "A Li, wake up, we are here."

Song Li lazily opened his eyes: "Is it there yet?"

Ji Qing nodded: "Here we are, come down quickly and go back to sleep in your room, or you'll catch a cold."

Song Li reluctantly dismounted from the horse, and muttered, "The horse's back is getting hot."

Ji Qing heard it funny, and rubbed his head: "Then you can't sleep on the horse all the time, right?"

Song Li thought for a while: "Yes."

Ji Qing brought Song Li into the door, and suddenly remembered that Song Li had been running around for days and wondered if he had eaten, so he asked, "A Li, are you hungry?"

Song Li touched his empty belly and nodded.

Ji Qing: "Then eat something before going to bed, okay?"

Song Li nodded: "Okay."

Ji Qing asked again: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Song Li's eyes lit up: "You do it for me?"

Ji Qing nodded: "What do you want to eat?"

Song Li said without hesitation, "I want to eat your cooked noodles."

Ji Qing couldn't help laughing: "You just love noodles that much?"

Song Li: "I'm just greedy for this one."

Ji Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll cook for you, you go to the main hall to rest first, I'll bring it to you when I'm done."

Song Li shook his head: "No, no, I'll follow you."

Ji Qing thought for a while, and there seemed to be a table in the kitchen, so he replied, "That's fine."

Song Li followed Ji Qing to the kitchen. The door was open, and there was still a servant cleaning inside. Seeing that it was Ji Qing, he hurriedly saluted, "My lord."

Ji Qing nodded: "You go out first, I'm going to make some food, and you can clean up later."

The servant was secretly taken aback, the lord didn't look like someone who could cook, so he asked, "Does the lord need help from the servant?"

Ji Qing: "No need."

Servant: "Slave leave."

The servant put down the work in hand and left the kitchen. When he walked to the door, he found that his lord was followed by a young master.

Could it be that it was made for this young man?The servant didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly left with his head down.

Ji Qing walked to the stove and started a fire familiarly.Song Li sat at the table and looked at him: "Master Ji."

"Huh?" Ji Qing smiled: "What do you want me to do?"

Song Li: "Heming."

Ji Qing looked back at him: "I am here"

Song Li smiled with satisfaction, and there was some joy in his smile, fortunately Ji Qing was fine.

Ji Qing kneaded the dough in his hand: "Why do you keep calling me?"

Song Li spread his hands together: "I am willing."

Ji Qing followed his words and said, "Just as long as you are happy."

Song Li: "What you said is so boring."

Ji Qing: "How can it be considered interesting?"

Song Li raised his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, it depends on your sincerity."

Ji Qing thought for a while, and said seriously: "You can call me if you want, I...willingly, it's a great honor."

Song Li smiled: "Are you really following me?"

Ji Qing kneaded his face and said, "Isn't that right?"

After a moment of silence, Song Li asked again: "Heming, why do you suddenly want to be an official?"

Ji Qing thought for a moment, half-truth and half-fake: "The business is already very successful, if I continue, I will have no fun in life. I have to find some new fun for myself."

Song Lihuai laughed loudly: "You can really do it, but it seems that you can do it when you think about it."

Anyway... after all, it won't be for me, right?

Ji Qing skipped the topic and asked, "Why did Ah Li suddenly accept the job of settling the refugees?"

Song Li's smile faded, and he said casually: "I just heard that they had been arguing for a long time at the court meeting and couldn't think of a solution. Thinking that my imperial brother directly assigned me this errand, it is hard to violate the king's order, and it would not be good for me to refute his face, so I can only bite the bullet and accept it."

Ji Qing said indifferently: "You have a special status, this job is a hard nut to crack, if you do it well, your imperial brother will inevitably be suspicious and jealous of you, and if you don't do it well, you will be infamous forever."

Song Li said indifferently: "For me, it's just a matter of asking for a clear conscience."

Ji Qing relieved: "Then you just let go and do it."

Song Li nodded: "Okay."

Ji Qing said again: "If I'm not wrong, your imperial brother must not have allocated much money."

Song Li was shocked and said, "How do you know?"

Ji Qing: "In the past two years, your emperor's brother has reduced a lot of taxes for the common people, and the national treasury is not going anywhere. In addition to the various large military and political appropriations last year, the national treasury has long been emptied. Where can I get the extra money? And it's huge. In a country, there are countless places to spend money. Now that there is a sudden disaster, it is more or less stretched to take out money for disaster relief. So I predict that the money he allocated to resettle the refugees must not be much. Take ten thousand steps back , even if he has extra money, he won't give you disaster relief, he doesn't want you to do things too well."

Song Li nodded: "What you said is exactly right."

Ji Qing: "What are you going to do?"

Song Li: "I asked Liu Yan to raise funds from rich private businessmen."

Ji Qing stopped what he was doing: "So you would rather find Liu Yan than me?"

Song Li shook his head: "That's not what I mean, it's just that I've troubled you too much, I..."

Ji Qing was a little angry: "I'm afraid you'll be in trouble?"

Song Li said anxiously: "Don't be angry, I went to look for you, I went to look for you when I was in Yudu, aren't you here?"

Ji Qing: "Okay, let me ask you, who did you find first?"

Song Li: "This...it's not important."

Ji Qing: "Tell the truth."

Song Li lowered his head: "Liu Yan."

Ji Qing nodded, without saying a word, lowered his head and continued kneading the dough.

Song Li: "I made a mistake Heming, don't be angry..."

Ji Qing still lowered his head, and said calmly: "I have raised the money for you to settle the refugees, and it will be delivered to you in a few days."

Song Li looked at him in surprise: "Heming..."

Ji Qing didn't say a word, and speeded up his hands, and a bowl of steaming noodles came out of the pot in a short while.Ji Qing put the noodles in front of Song Li: "Hurry up and eat, I'll send someone to take you around the yard to digest food after eating, and go to bed earlier."

Song Li nodded and asked, "What about you?"

Ji Qing: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Song Li nodded, took the chopsticks and ate the noodles.Ji Qing looked at him again, and left the kitchen straight away.

Song Li glanced at him leaving from the corner of his eye, and felt a little uncomfortable. He ate the same bowl of noodles that tasted the same as that day, and felt a little more bitter in his heart.

Song Li ate a bowl of noodles, asked his servants to inquire about Ji Qing's residence, and then strolled over by himself. He stood in front of Ji Qing's door, hesitated for a while, and then knocked on the door.

Ji Qing's voice sounded inside: "Come in."

Song Li took a deep breath and pushed open the door: "Heming..."

Ji Qing glanced at him indifferently, and said: "My lord, if you don't go to digest food, what are you doing here?"

Song Li froze in place, Ji Qing...calling him prince...

Song Li realized that Ji Qing was really angry, and it seemed that he was quite angry.

Song Li lowered his eyes and stood there pitifully.

Ji Qing: "Is there something else, my lord?"

Song Li remained silent.Ji Qing said impatiently: "The prince still has something to do, the minister is a little tired."

Song Li didn't say a word, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

As soon as Song Li left, Ji Qing felt a little annoyed for a moment, he was sad to see Song Li like that, why was he so fussy?So what to do really is not a big deal.

Ji Qing didn't know when he became such a petty person, he stood up while feeling annoyed, and walked to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Song Li.

Ji Qing: "Why are you standing here?"

Song Li raised his head and looked at him: "Don't be angry with me, okay? I'll definitely tell you first, okay?"

His tone was pitiful, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner.

Ji Qing's heart softened immediately, and he said softly, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Song Li: "Are you really not angry?"

Ji Qing smiled: "Don't be angry anymore."

Song Li: "Then you call me Ah Li."

Why is it really like a coquettish kitten?

Ji Qing smiled softly: "A Li, I really don't want to be angry anymore, but if you have anything to do in the future, you must come to me first, okay?"

Song Li nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Ji Qing: "It's getting late today, you should rest earlier, you will be busy tomorrow."

Song Li nodded: "Okay."

Ji Qing: "Then shall I take you to the guest room?"

Song Li stood there motionless, not knowing what to think, and suddenly said: "I...I still have a lot to say to you."

Ji Qing was confused, what did Song Li mean by this?Do you want to sleep with him?

Ji Qing pretended to be calm and asked, "Do I have to say it now?"

Song Li blushed and nodded.

Ji Qing quickly reacted: "Then you come in."

Song Li regretted it as soon as he entered the room... What are you doing?Brain pumped?Wouldn't it be inappropriate to say go back to sleep now?

Thinking of this, Song Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.

Ji Qing poured him a cup of tea: "Drinking is a waste of time, and I have business to do tomorrow, so let's just drink tea."

Song Li took a sip of the tea, and said without thinking: "It's better to drink without wine."

Ji Qing chuckled and washed away the embarrassment just now.
