Chapter 284: Gaze
Thirty guards stood outside the gate of the plum garden, and they were all stunned when they saw Emperor Guangen walking out of it with Shen Xizhen in his arms, but none of them dared to speak, and made a way out of the way.
Emperor Guangen first put Shen Xizhen on horseback, and then flew up, sat behind her, hugged her waist with one hand, and grabbed the reins with the other, and drove away.
Thirty guards immediately followed.
In the forest not far from them, there was a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the departing figure of Emperor Guang'en, and there was no joy or sorrow.
At the end of the year, it is time to prepare the annual reward for the ministers, and Emperor Guangen and the ministers are also busy.
However, due to the good harvest of the people this year and the good security of the country, there were basically no major accidents. Emperor Guangen's heart was very happy, so he immediately ordered a banquet to be held to invite the heroes to the palace for lunch a year ago, which could encourage these heroes in person, and secondly, he also planned to tap a group of talents to join the think tank.
In the past few years, the personnel of the think tank have gradually aged, but many young people do not have the conditions to join the group, so Emperor Guangen tried his best to recruit talents.
He also figured out that guΓ² took the opportunity to collect more mentions of statecraft from elites from all over the world.
After this banquet, the voice that Emperor Guangen heard the most was - Renji.
Governing the world with benevolence is people-oriented, so that we can win the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, it's that simple.
However, to truly promote benevolent governance, it is not only necessary to be good to the people, but also to be wise and good. Therefore, Emperor Guang'en, Shen Xizhen and the think tank of Xi Guo discussed together for three days, and finally issued a series of benevolent policies.
For example, the overthrow of torture, tax reduction, the establishment of charities, the promotion of policies for the benefit of the people, the fight against corruption, universal health care and education, the protection of women and children, the establishment of pension funds, the establishment of clean government institutions, etc.
As soon as everyone's decision was reached, Emperor Guangen immediately began to deploy. Carry it out one by one.
This style is the same as that of his father, Emperor Guangzhao.
Shen Xizhen smiled.
By the time all the policies had been implemented, it was already the spring of the following year.
Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen went to Lingxi Island for a vacation as originally planned.
Lingxi Island is located in the west of the Xi Kingdom, and there is still snow in most places at this time, but the sunlight is as clear as a mirror, and it is warm to see people's hearts.
There was still a thin layer of snow on the grass where Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen were lying and looking at the sky, but the green grass was also stubbornly probing under their weight, looking extremely vibrant.
The peach blossoms in the yard are in full bloom, and the bees are flying happily in it. Shen Xizhen, who was standing under the flower tree, was both emotional and gratified.
Everyone else only lived for one lifetime, but she traveled to this time and space to live for another thirty years.
Fate gave her thirty more years to live. and let her marry the person she loves the most after going through the ordeal, and such a legendary thing has now happened to her, so the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that God treats her very well, and tears of gratitude flowed down.
Emperor Guangen, who had walked around the house, walked towards her. Saw the tears in her eyes. Hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong?" With that, he took her into his arms.
"It's nothing, if only we could stay together." Shen Xizhen snuggled tightly into Emperor Guangen's arms and said.
Emperor Guang En smiled, he knew that they had a 50% chance of being together forever, and the Xuanji Daoist had already agreed to help him with this.
But of course he wouldn't tell Shen Xizhen openly, he wanted to surprise her at that time. So he smiled and said: "Maybe we also have the opportunity to be together forever, life is so mysterious, and since you can travel here, the future technology will be more developed." There are a lot of things that may take a new turn. β
Shen Xizhen was also greatly encouraged when he heard his words, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes." We should all look with confidence that is, are you hungry? The concubine is going to make you something to eat, right? β
"When you say that, I suddenly feel hungry, okay, I'll help you." Then I went into the kitchen with her.
In this way, they spent an unforgettable ten days on Lingxi Island.
During the day, they look at the mountains, the sea, the flowers, and the lake together. At night, they enjoyed the joy of fish and water, and they were so happy that they couldn't help blushing and heartbeat when they woke up the next day.
When they returned to the palace, the two of them looked much better than before.
They immediately threw themselves into the work.
A month later, Shen Xizhen found out that she was pregnant.
Most people were very happy, but Du Qiniang was a little worried, she held Shen Xizhen's hand tightly and said, "You are already weak, and Princess Changrun is only five months old, can you survive it?" Do you want to ask for it again in another year? β
Since she is pregnant, of course Shen Xizhen will not want it, not to mention that Emperor Guangen is not willing to do it.
So Shen Xizhen smiled and comforted Du Qiniang: "Mother, please rest assured, my body is fine, I want to give birth to the child as soon as I am young, I have agreed with the emperor that I will not let me give birth again after I give birth to this." β
Du Qiniang shook her head in disbelief: "Queen, you are too naΓ―ve to think, you don't know the virtue of men, what if you get pregnant again?" β
Shen Xizhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, we have our own way." β
"You can't use drugs that hurt your body." Du Qiniang said uneasily.
"Don't worry, you don't need to take medicine." Shen Xizhen hurriedly said, but he was embarrassed to say more.
Du Qiniang didn't ask again.
When she was pregnant with this child, Shen Xizhen did not have the slightest pregnancy reaction, so she still went to the Zichen Hall every day to help Emperor Guangen deal with political affairs.
She also took the time to go to the Thousand Buddha Caves, where she meditated for three days.
On her fingers, she was still eleven years away from returning to modern times.
So now when she looks at every scene and thing in Xiguo, she will feel a deep reluctance in her heart.
She also often looked at Emperor Guangen quietly when he was buried in work, looking at his tall figure, graceful silhouette, and his serious and stern face.
How can a man be so good-looking? And he is also his own husband, not only having children with him, but also being devoted to himself.
He is really a rare good man in the world.
She was so happy that she didn't know how to describe it, and she didn't want to take her eyes off him for a long time.
Emperor Guangen could meet her gaze at every turn of his head.
That gaze was full of affection, which made him indulge in it instantly, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"What? Have you never seen such a handsome man as your husband? Emperor Guangen asked jokingly.
Shen Xizhen nodded busily and said, "Yes, in the eyes of the concubines, the emperor is indeed the most handsome man." β
Emperor Guangen walked up to her side and lovingly took her into his arms. (To be continued......)
