Xia Xuanqi lowered his eyes and looked at his hand held by Xiao Zhaoxue, but at this moment his mind had already turned several corners. If he took her back to the Xiao family, if her father and brother saw him, Or if she falls into the eyes of others, she may also encounter rumors.
Originally, because Xiao Zhaoxue looked so similar to Ming Ruoxie, and they both had heart-warming snow-white skin, he knew that there was no chance between him and Ming Ruoxie, so he wanted to drag Xiao Zhaoxue over as his replacement. .
"Anyway, he doesn't have a concubine yet, and she's not married yet.
¡°Anyway, he has always felt that after sitting on the throne, he can only marry his sweetheart, so who is not married to him? Anyway, he doesn¡¯t have a sweetheart yet.
As for Xiao Zhaoxue, as long as she doesn¡¯t have a sweetheart, she will not suffer any loss if he promises her the most luxurious and luxurious life after marrying him.
But now looking at her pure and sincere heart, being so anxious for her family and brother that she forgets everything, and looking at the baby fat that has not faded from her delicate and innocent face, he feels that she may not have tasted feelings yet and cannot represent him. If there is no such thing in the future, bringing her into an environment like a harem now may not be what she wants.
And he still wants to use her as a substitute, which is really unfair to her.
Although he has walked through a pile of bones and experienced strife from the royal family, Xia Xuanqi is still upright and upright.
Thinking of this, he took out his hand, retreated into the carriage, and said to the guard driving the carriage, "Hurry up and get into the city."
"yes."
Xia Xuanqi glanced at Xiao Zhaoxue and said, "Sit tight, the carriage is not slow."
"Xiao Zhaoxue was a little confused at this time. When she heard his words, it was as if she had heard the instructions, and she responded stupidly, "Okay."
And sure enough, he immediately got into the carriage.
The carriage galloped in, and Ming Ruoxie's carriage followed behind. Just now, their carriage was already side by side with Xia Xuanqi's, so the slightest move between the two of them made Ming Ruoxie He and Sikong Ji saw it.
"Xia Xuanqi really doesn't want you to help you take a look?" Sikong Ji still feels that Xia Xuanqi behaved very strangely this time, and the shadow guard next to him occasionally looks at Ming Ruoxie when he appears. They were all a little weird, looking like regrets, and a little bit impatient, which made Sikong Ji wary.
"He already asked me to show it to him. Isn't it too late?" Ming Ruoxie opened the curtain with one hand and looked at the situation in Hansai City.
After hearing what Xiao Jian and the others said just now, she was already mentally prepared. Sure enough, after entering the city, she saw that every door of the house was closed, there was no sound at all on the street, and there were no people in the street. There were some items left behind, such as baskets, handkerchiefs, and fans. It was probably because the water bandits scared everyone when they invaded the city. The things they dropped when they fled in panic and haste are now all there. No one dares to come out to pick it up yet.
The whole place is desolate.
The houses here are made of stone and wood, which are actually sturdier than those in other places. However, these houses have a sense of desolation and decay. The whole city does not seem to be beautifying, it is just streets and alleys. In the alley, there are very few flowers, plants and trees. What I occasionally see are bare branches with yellow leaves all over the ground.
"There are several rivers in Hansai City that divide the city into three parts. There are many bridges, and many people have boats at home. You can also make a living on the rivers, such as boat cruises. Hanging two rivers When the lanterns are turned on, there are some teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the strait. There are people telling stories, playing music, and singing songs. It is no worse than Jiangnan, and the city comes to life."
Sikong Ji slowly said this to Ming Ruoxie. He had already had this idea as soon as he saw the terrain of Hansai City. Unfortunately, when he came to the city in person, he found that it was really much worse than imagined. .
Such a good city and landform were wasted.
"Water bandits are rampant. Who has the leisure to do business, and who has the leisure to go on a cruise and listen to music?" Ming Ruoxie disagreed this time, "Besides, Dazhen must be prosperous and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. , A city must have such an atmosphere of joy and enjoyment, otherwise if you just think about drinking, listening to music and going on a boat, you will be exhausted sooner or later."
Sikongji was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ming Ruoxie was definitely not the kind of little girl who would look at him with shining eyes no matter what he said, admiring and telling him that His Highness King Jin could think of these things, it was really amazing.
She has her own opinion.
And, what she said is right.
Sikongji laughed, "My Ruoruo is right,He is more thoughtful than me. Yes, Dazhen's country must be prosperous and stable so that the people can enjoy themselves in peace. "
"When we are truly prosperous and stable, we have to be prepared for danger in times of peace. We must not lose our wolf-like nature. No one can live in peace for a hundred days, and no country can have peace for a hundred years." Ming Ruoxie said seriously.
She also had to let Sikong Ji know that if he really took down Dazhen, sitting on that seat was not the end, it was another starting point. It was not easy to govern a country well.
"Yes, Wuji will keep the princess's teachings in mind and never forget them." Sikong Ji held her hand. "From now on, the princess will always be by Wuji's side and remind me all the time."
"Bah, you are more than ten times more thoughtful than me. Stop pretending, I just said that by the way." Ming Ruoxie glanced at him sideways, "Also, if I say these things too much in the future, you You will get tired of hearing it. Maybe by that time, you will like those women who have been looking at you with admiration, treating you as heaven and earth, and thinking that there is nothing wrong with you. Maybe at that time It will put me in limbo."
"Nonsense." Sikong Ji knew clearly that she was joking, but he squeezed her hand slightly and said seriously, "I'm not such a superficial person, didn't I say that? I don't want anyone but you. I don¡¯t need women¡¯s worship to get that sense of satisfaction and pride. He who has a strong heart has his own faith.¡±
After saying this, he saw Ming Ruoxie looking at him with light in her eyes, just like the little girl I just mentioned looking at him with admiration in her eyes.
Sikongji¡¯s heart felt like an electric current hit him, and he was a little numb.
He found that he had never thought of seeing such a look from her, but when she looked at him like this, the satisfaction and joy in his heart almost made him swallow up what he just said.
If it¡¯s her, he really needs it!
"Aji, what you said is so good!" Ming Ruoxie held her face in her hands and winked at him.
Sikongji came back to his senses from the momentary electric numbness, and felt that she was naughty again, so he couldn't help laughing. "If I really put you in the cold palace -"
"Oh, then I will throw you into the eunuch." Ming Ruoxie said matter-of-factly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
