Chapter 54: Approaching Her and Teasing Her
Huo Yubai bit her lip in pain, and looked at Si Jingmo quietly, the man's face was handsome and impeccable, and the tone of his speech was not good, but he showed concern for her.
She didn't know before that His Royal Highness King Jing was a warm man.
For nearly six years, he is more mature than he was back then.
At the beginning, the emperor was ready to marry her to him, but she refused, not only because of his noble status, but also because he was too young.
He was nineteen years old.
As a time-traveling person, a nineteen-year-old man is a teenager who has not grown up for her.
Now, the boy has truly grown into a man, exuding irresistible masculine charm all over his body.
It's heartwarming.
Si Jingmo noticed her gaze, and inadvertently raised his eyes, crashing into her focused eyes.
Looking at each other, both of their hearts seemed to be gently stirred by something.
Huo Yubai lowered his head in a panic.
Something flashed in Si Jingmo's eyes, and he continued to bow his head and smear the medicine on Huo Yubai, "Do you want to bandage it?" ”
"No, no, it's breathable, it's getting better quickly."
Si Jingmo pursed her lips and hummed, gently lowered Huo Yubai's trouser legs, and then helped her put her skirt down.
The carriage was quiet, and when there was no talk, the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.
There were a few "booms", thunder mixed with lightning, and heavy rain poured down, crackling on the walls of the car.
The temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees more, and it was a little cold in the carriage.
Si Jingmo's arms were folded and Huo Yubai was hugged tightly.
Huo Yubai's face was pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, the tip of his nose was filled with the clean and clear masculine breath on his body, he couldn't help blushing, his heart was bumping, and he carefully held his breath.
I was afraid that the man would notice something abnormal, so I didn't dare to look up.
Si Jingmo looked ahead, and when the wind rose, the curtain of the car was blown up a corner, and he could clearly see the heavy rain curtain on the street.
There has been a bit more rain this year.
The floods in the south have not yet been resolved, and the refugees are still waiting for help, while in the north, just a few days after the sunny day, thunderstorms began to flow again.
"Alas......"
Huo Yubai heard his sigh and raised his eyes in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that there is more rain, and I am worried that there will be another flood, which will not only suffer the people, but also ......
This year's harvest is not good, many places are exempt from taxes, and the tax collected by the imperial court is limited.
Disaster relief, embankment building, post-disaster reconstruction, coupled with the plague in some places, the consumption of medicinal materials is huge...... are waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds, and the imperial court can hardly afford it. ”
Huo Yubai is just a woman in the boudoir, and the major events in the world are not within her consideration, seeing that Si Jingmo is worried, she feels that it is not easy for them to be the prince.
"Didn't the imperial court think about asking officials to donate money for disaster relief?"
Si Jingmo pursed his lips, and coldness flashed in his eyes, "Usually, they are good officials who worry about the country and the people, and when they are asked to take money, they cry poor one or two." ”
Huo Yubai frowned, "People are selfish, and most of them are unwilling to do things that are not beneficial."
If the treasury is empty, it is advisable to investigate and deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and dismiss several officials who have taken serious corruption and bribery.
Then, in the form of official documents, remind those officials who have been corrupt and accepted bribes behind their backs and have not been investigated and punished to confess and be lenient, take the initiative to make up for the money they have embezzled and bribed, and not to blame for corruption and bribery in the past.
In addition, it is possible to advocate for people and wealthy households to donate money to the disaster area, as well as to donate food and clothing.
The list of donors and the amount of donations will be posted, and for those who donate a lot, let the court issue a document to commend them, and if they donate less, they will be rewarded orally.
Many wealthy people are not short of money and should be happy to use the money to earn a good reputation. ”
Si Jingmo listened quietly, staring at Huo Yubai, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
"What's wrong? I just said it casually, if I think it's wrong, then ......" Huo Yubai lowered his eyes, nervous because of his eyes.
"Well said." Si Jingmo's voice was low, and he looked at Huo Yubai seriously, "In the past, when I encountered some problems, I would tell Rujin to listen, not because I wanted her to give me ideas, but because I wanted to say it and feel more comfortable."
But every time, Rujin listened to her heart and would give me some advice.
In some ways, you're a lot like Rujin. ”
Huo Yubai was shocked, is this the case? She didn't even realize she was like this.
What had he asked her before? She couldn't even remember, and she forgot what she had said.
The reason why she would express her opinion was that she didn't want him to be distressed, even if her method was not suitable, she wanted to say a few words.
She thinks that she is still very different from Nie Rujin in the past, she is not surprised in the past, she speaks softer than in the past, she looks weaker, she is not as cold and arrogant as before, and she loves to laugh than before.
It's completely different, so to speak.
Si Jingmo was able to find Nie Rujin's shadow in her, it was really incredible.
"How can I compare to Miss Nie?" Huo Yubai smiled, "Let the prince see it." ”
"Well, you are different from Rujin, you don't have her self-confidence. In the past, if I said that Rujin was good and right, she would accept it all, and she would not be humble at all. Si Jingmo said, he couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, he liked her confidence.
The kind of confidence that makes the whole person shine, makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Huo Yubai was embarrassed in her heart, was she so thick-skinned in the past? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the case, and her innate sense of superiority makes her self-confident.
She is a standard Bai Fumei, a nobleman, backed by the queen mother and the emperor, two big trees, and a friend of the princess and princess, if she is not confident, she can't do it.
became Huo Yubai, and she learned to be low-key and humbled.
If you are too high-profile, you will be scolded to death.
"Lord Wang, do you think that Miss Nie is thick-skinned?"
Si Jingmo was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Well, there's a point, although it's thick-skinned, it's quite cute." ”
Huo Yubai: ......
After Si Jingmo smiled, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, took a heavy breath, and collected all his thoughts, "Forget it, don't talk about her, let's talk about you." ”
"Huh? Say what about me? Huo Yubai smiled dryly, "What does the prince want to know?" ”
Si Jingmo's deep eyes looked at her, with a serious expression, "When ordinary women see this king for the first time, they are either respectful, admired, or afraid and apprehensive, and the second lady doesn't have any of these, why is this?" ”
Huo Yubai's expression stiffened, and he didn't know how to answer, because they knew each other well, so they forgot to be respectful.
"Lord Wang, the little girl has never seen a big person since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to count etiquette, so she ......"
Si Jingmo's eyes darkened slightly, "I haven't seen a big person, I think I should be even more worried." ”
"Huh!" Huo Yubai smiled dryly and looked away, "Maybe the prince is too easy-going, which makes people feel cordial, makes me feel comfortable and relaxed." ”
"Easygoing, kind, comfortable, relaxed......" Si Jingmo muttered in a low voice, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, his big palm swept over Huo Yubai's face, met her flickering eyes, and approached her with a smile, "Second Miss, do you feel relaxed at the moment?" Well? ”
