"Are you wondering why I lied to my daughter-in-law?" Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Zhuang directly expressed Mu Qingge's doubts.

This is someone else's privacy, Mu Qingge instinctively wanted to shake his head, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded, since Mrs. Zhuang brought it up, she wanted to say.

"Because Cheng is not Ze'er's biological mother." Mrs. Zhuang said slowly.

Mu Qingge was stunned, she didn't expect it to be like this, she had always been strange that Zhuang Cheng, as Zhuang Ze's mother, should be the most suspicious. If she is not Zhuang Ze's mother-in-law, then there is a reason, no wonder Mrs. Zhuang has been avoiding her.

"Cheng's ancestral home is in the Tianshan Mountains." Mrs. Zhuang continued.

Tien Shan, in the far north. The fox grass comes from the bitter cold of the far north.

However, Zhuang Ze is the only child of the Zhuang family, and she is also raised in the name of Zhuang Cheng, so she should not treat Zhuang Ze like this. Moreover, even if you want Zhuang Ze's life, it seems that there is no need to go to such great lengths. Also, Mrs. Zhuang said that she couldn't tear her face with Zhuang Cheng now. It seems that he has concerns about Zhuang Cheng's family, and this concern is even more important than his grandson's life. Mu Qingge had many doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask them, after all, it was someone else's family matter. If Mrs. Zhuang doesn't say it, there is naturally a reason not to say it.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't say much more, and the carriage soon arrived at the Jade Dragon Temple.

The master of the Jade Dragon Temple is a middle-aged Taoist priest with fairy wind bones, and he seems to be very familiar with Mrs. Zhuang. When Mrs. Zhuang proposed to borrow the alchemy furnace, he did not hesitate and agreed directly.

After Mu Qingge thanked him, he asked Xia Yi to take the lime and clay he bought yesterday to the alchemy room.

After all, it is not something that belongs to this era, and Mu Qingge did not let everyone follow up to watch.

The raw materials were ground yesterday and directly put into the alchemy furnace for calcination.

After waiting for about an hour, Mu Qingge opened the alchemy furnace, looked at the cement clinker inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Qirui went to the prison of the Wucheng Mansion early in the morning to bring the prisoners out, and last night he found a suitable candidate according to the file records. He personally went to Lingyun Street in the east of the city, identified himself, and talked about the construction of the embankment. These poor people had never seen an official from the capital for several generations, let alone a prince, and they were immediately excited, and they expressed their willingness to build a dam. also knelt and kowtowed to Shang Qirui, thanking him for considering the people of Wucheng.

Shang Qirui was also moved by the enthusiasm of these people, the more people living at the bottom, the simpler the requirements. Those who can be officials often fail to meet even their simplest requirements.

The results of the morning were very good, everyone's passion was very high, the dealer was also very trustworthy, and there was no shortage of materials that he promised to send. The midday meal was also delivered early.

"Your Highness, if this continues, the embankment will be repaired soon." Hu Li was also enthusiastic watching on the sidelines, he didn't expect such a difficult thing to be solved so quickly under the dedication of the three princes.

Hu Li had empty ambitions in the past, but he was always looked down upon and couldn't display his talents. Unexpectedly, the third prince would personally come to him, talk to him about water conservancy knowledge, and bring him to Wucheng regardless of the ridicule of others. Before today, Shang Qirui and Hu Li only had the grace of knowing each other. But now, he already admires Shang Qirui from the bottom of his heart.

"If only it could go so smoothly." Shang Qirui sighed, he didn't know why, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

Knowing that Shang Qirui's trip to Wucheng was under a lot of pressure, Hu Li was about to comfort Shang Qirui, but he suddenly smiled very happily, and all his previous worries and fatigue were gone.

In surprise, he looked at Shang Qirui's eyes, and saw Mu Qingge looking at them and smiling happily.

As for Mu Qingge, Hu Li had already heard about it from the mouths of the two guards. Shang Qirui was seriously injured in the leg during the battle to recover Jincheng, and it was this Qin Ge and his master Ji Junyi who treated Shang Qirui's injury. According to the guards, they were scared of the injury on Shang Qirui's leg at that time. Doctor Ji has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is reasonable to be calm and calm in the face of Shang Qirui's injury. At such a young age, Qin Ge went to the battlefield for the first time, and when he treated Shang Qirui's wounds, he didn't even shake his hands. The two guards were full of admiration when they said it. Hu Li knew that there were many talented people in this world, and he also knew that the two guards who followed the three princes were more knowledgeable than himself. Therefore, he does not look down on his mother because she is young, but thinks that he can be unanimously praised by everyone at such a young age, which is very remarkable.

Shang Qirui had already stepped in front of Mu Qingge in a few steps and asked happily, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I went to treat the little prince of Zhuang, and I heard that His Highness was building a dam here, so I came to take a look."

Mu Qingge smiled on his face, but he sighed in his heart, Shang Qirui didn't seem to be a very unreasonable person. I really don't know how the original owner offended him, and he had to risk exposure to help him.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet." Shang Qirui asked a few words about the situation of Zhuang Xiaogongzi, and suddenly said.

"Thank me for what?" Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Thank you for your construction." Shang Qirui pointed to the person who was working, "I really don't know how your head grows, I admire you for coming up with such a good idea so quickly." ”

As he spoke, he also grabbed Mu Qingge's shoulders and rubbed her head.

Mu Qingge is now small and weak, and he can't break free from Shang Qirui's clutches at all, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, that's not necessarily a good idea." ”

I really didn't expect that Doctor Ji actually told Shang Qirui that the idea was his own.

"I said that it is good to mention yì, you can rest assured, no matter what bad things happen in the future, this mention yì has nothing to do with you." Shang Qirui assured.

The more Mu Qingge looked at it, the more he felt that Shang Qirui was not an unreasonable person, and couldn't help but ask boldly: "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?" ”

"What's the problem, you say." Shang Qirui proudly put his arm on Mu Qingge's shoulder and said without hesitation.

"Are you in such a hurry to rebuild the embankment because you know that there will be floods in Wucheng?"

Feeling the strength on his shoulders sink, Shang Qirui's eyes instantly became sharp when he looked at him, Mu Qingge already had the answer in his heart, but he said lightly: "Does Your Highness still look at the celestial phenomena?" It's amazing. ”

Shang Qirui breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughed at himself for being too cautious, relaxed his expression and said to Mu Qingge: "I won't look at the celestial phenomena, but someone will." ”

"I worship those who can see the heavens." Mu Qingge said in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Seeing that the people who were working had begun to prepare to do things, Mu Qingge said goodbye to Shang Qirui. Shang Qirui didn't stay long, but said that he would go to him after finishing this paragraph.

As soon as Mu Qingge returned to the carriage, he saw Xia Yi's expression was ugly. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Mu Qingge did not take Xia Yi and Su Mu Poria to see Shang Qirui, but their carriage was not far away, presumably Xia Yi saw Shang Qirui's actions just now.

"Cousin, it seems that you are very familiar with the third prince." Xia Yi finally couldn't help it.

"The relationship between the third prince and his brother is good, when I was in the capital, I occasionally disguised myself as a man to go out to play, and I just ran into it." Mu Qingge has a little headache, she has always disliked lying, because it takes countless lies to tell a lie. Sometimes, however, you can't tell the truth.

"The third prince doesn't know the identity of his cousin?" There was surprise in Xia Yi's tone.

"Yes." Mu Qingge only nodded, this is not a lie, Shang Qirui really didn't know that Qin Ge was Mu Qingge.

"Then I'll be relieved." Xia Yi muttered.

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak. Xia Yi suddenly said: "Cousin, I think you should not get too close to the third prince." ”

"What did my cousin say about this?"

"The third prince is the prince, and the royal affairs will be ruined if you are not careful. Especially, now that the reputation of the third prince is too high, this tree is not necessarily a good thing......" Xia Yi said as he saw Mu Qingge's face change, and he automatically stopped talking.

"Cousin Yi, I appreciate your concern for me. But, first, I don't have anything with the Third Prince. I am not helping the three princes, but the people of Wucheng. Second, the royal right and wrong are better to talk about less. Mu Qingge said lightly, this time he didn't mean to embarrass Xia Yi, but there were some things that he really couldn't say nonsense.

Xia Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, turned around and jumped to the front, and rushed to the car with the little guy.
