Chapter Seventy-Three: Overnight in the Study
However, Jiang Ning's thoughts were pulled back by Mu Jingzhao's words for a moment, his voice was deep, and there was a bit of indescribable excitement in it.
"What do you think?"
When Jiang Ning heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes and looked at the paper in front of Mu Jingzhao, but in a moment, it was already full of propaganda methods for the construction of the embankment.
From how it is implemented, how it is regulated, and the general content, each article is written in great detail.
Jiang Ning secretly praised herself, just looking at this plan, she could already feel that this plan was tightly organized, clear, logical, and feasible, and there was no room for correction at all.
After knowing Mu Jingzhao for so long, Jiang Ning seemed to have felt some of the shining points in this man for the first time.
second only to his face.
"How?"
Mu Jingzhao looked up at him cautiously, and his face, which was always calm and waveless on weekdays, rarely had a bit of excitement and caution unique to teenagers.
Such a look made her a little uncomfortable, the distance between the two was so close that she could even feel Mu Jingzhao's breathing that was too heavy because of nervousness on her face.
She naturally ducked back, "Good." ”
Mu Jingzhao smiled brightly, revealing a row of shiny teeth. That little bit of joy fell into his eyes like stagnant water, like pebbles entering a lake, splashing sparkling and bursting water.
"Really?" He seemed to be a little incredulous, and hurriedly asked again.
The discomfort on Jiang Ning's face deepened a little, and she stepped back a little more, "Really." ”
"Really?" Mu Jingzhao caught up with him reluctantly.
No matter how many times Jiang Ning repeated, he still asked happily.
"Really, really, really."
Jiang Ning was forced by him to retreat, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to hold Mu Jingzhao's shoulder, barely narrowing the distance between the two.
Mu Jingzhao was finally satisfied, straightened his waist and sat up straight at the desk again, "Okay, let's do it next, how to compensate the people." ”
Seeing that Mu Jingzhao was a little farther away from her, Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole person relaxed.
The night was getting darker, and in the distance, there was a sound of watching, Jiang Ning curled up on the chair, she opened her mouth and yawned, and her face was a little tired.
She held her cheeks and looked at Mu Jingzhao not far from her side, at this moment, he was still writing the paper with his waist straight, and the paper was already full of his beautiful handwriting.
Sometimes he pauses in his hands, his eyes meditate, sometimes his brows furrowed, and he writes slowly; Sometimes with a smile on his face, he waved his pen wantonly.
Is Mu Jingzhao a good emperor? Jiang Ning couldn't tell, this matter was not something that people like her could judge.
Faintly, she felt a little more unspeakable guilt in her heart.
This guilt stems from the fact that she has compassion for the enemy she believes in her heart.
She thought, her thoughts began to be chaotic, and in the chaos of thoughts, Jiang Ning fell asleep.
Mu Jingzhao, on the other hand, was in the excitement of relieving his heart knots, and he had exhausted the little sleepiness that was left.
I don't know how long I wrote, he stopped writing, moved his muscles twice, and then raised his head and exhaled a big breath, and then looked at Jiang Ning beside him with a smile.
"I'm done, do you want to-" he said, turning around, his voice quietly disappearing as it fell on Jiang Ning's sleeping face.
He looked at Jiang Ning, pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were soft like never before.
"Thank you for your hard work." He whispered this, as if he were talking to himself.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Mu Jingzhao simply stopped arguing with her, and only spread out the paper full of words on his desk with both hands and looked at it carefully.
As his gaze moved, the smile on Mu Jingzhao's face gradually converged.
His brows furrowed more and more, he lowered his head and sighed lightly, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Ning beside him, "I am really not a good emperor." ”
Jiang Ning slept very quietly, just clasped his arms with his hands, and the whole person was curled up, like a kitten who didn't want to show his belly in front of outsiders.
Mu Jingzhao was a little distracted, although he could feel that Jiang Ning's figure was not healthy and strong on weekdays, but at this moment, her whole body curled up on the chair seemed to make Mu Jingzhao realize that her figure was so thin.
His gaze slowly moved to Jiang Ning's face, her eyes were closed, but her brows were tightly locked, coupled with the extremely self-protective movements of her arms, which made her whole person look a kind of panic and helplessness.
And the small tear-like mole under her eyes added a bit of pity to her.
Mu Jingzhao hesitated a little, and slowly stretched out his hand towards Jiang Ning, and his palm paused not far from Jiang Ning's cheek, but finally landed on her forehead.
In that moment, Jiang Ning's whole person trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he took two steps back tremblingly.
Mu Jingzhao's palm broke away from her hair, and he froze in place a little helplessly.
He hesitated, waved his hand not far from Jiang Ning's cheek, and saw that she didn't react at all, only then did he realize that the other party had not woken up.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of undisguised pity.
Inexplicably, he thought of what happened to Jiang Ning in the past that Lin Zheng told him not long ago.
"How much did it take to become what I am today?"
His voice was very soft, and he didn't know if he was asking Jiang Ning or himself.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Ori Willow walked out of the house while squinting and arranging her clothes.
It is an unwritten rule in the palace to get up early every day to prepare toiletries and breakfast for your master.
Although Jiang Ning has always been an informal person, Zheliu will never forget the duty of a slave because of Jiang Ning's connivance.
She finally buttoned the best button on her clothes, and pulled the corners of her clothes, and when she didn't tear all the wrinkles open, the person had already come to the outside of Jiangning's dormitory.
Before preparing breakfast, she planned to enter Jiang Ning's dormitory to see if she had slept.
During this time, Jiang Ning was nervous and anxious every day in order to prepare a birthday banquet for Concubine Liu, and he hardly slept well all night, and it was common for him to stay awake all night.
Zheliu persuaded Jiang Ning countless times, but she really couldn't help much, so she could only tell her to pay attention to rest without pain.
Zheliu sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand, and was about to push open the door of Jiangning's dormitory and walk in.
As soon as she was about to touch the door, she saw that Mu Jingzhao had already cleaned up and walked out of the door from the study to go to the court.
I haven't slept all night, and Mu Jingzhao's spirit looks even better than Zheliu.
"The emperor is auspicious." Zheliu Shi Shiran gave Mu Jingzhao a salute.
Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly, looked at her standing at the door of Jiangning, and understood her intentions.
He spoke softly, "Concubine Ning is in my study, she slept late last night, you can call her later and let her rest a little longer." ”
