Chapter 354: She remembered it
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat TranslationBy the time Xiao Hanzheng reached home, it was already past dinner time.
Shi Qingluo served the hot dishes, she also hadn’t eaten yet.
The two of them ate together before holding hands and taking a walk in the empty space at the backyard.
No one could eavesdrop on their conversation in such a low voice.
As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Dumby rushing over with a group of large and small geese of all colors.
Shi Qingluo touched Dumby, who had stretched his head over to be rubbed by her hand.
“As expected of a goose that can open a harem. My goose is really strong.”
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the jet-black and shiny Dumby, who was very different from the rest. “Yes, its head is unique among geese.”
Standing together with the other large geese, Dumby’s entire body was much bigger.
Seeing Dumby stretching his head towards the purse at her waist, Shi Qingluo couldn’t help but laugh.
Shi Qingluo patted its head. “My goose, I think you should lose some weight.”
Perhaps it was because of the spiritual water, or perhaps it was due to a mutation in its own species, but her goose was really too different from the rest.
The color and appearance of his fur made him look more and more like a black swan.
It gave off a sense of nobility, but he was still a big black goose.
When Dumby heard that, he immediately shook his head wildly.
He didn’t want to lose weight.
Then, he jumped a few steps away and nimbly jumped around in front of Shi Qingluo to show that he was very flexible and didn’t need to lose weight at all.
His wives liked his big and tall appearance.
Seeing him displaying his body shape, the geese all surrounded him and cried out in excitement, as if they were praising his good figure.
Shi Qingluo was speechless. “Is this called ‘beauty in the eyes of the geese’ ?”
Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Maybe.”
His little wife’s description was really unique.
Shi Qingluo grabbed a few handfuls of specially made goose food from her purse and threw them over. “Alright, stop jumping. If you don’t want to lose weight, then so be it. I see that you are indeed quite agile.”
Dumbly ate a few of them nimbly and ran over to rub against Shi Qingluo’s arm.
Mummy was the best.
The other geese and goslings also ate them and happily chirped a few times.
Shi Qingluo took out a few more and fed them to the bigger geese. “Go and keep an eye out. Don’t let anyone get close to your mummy and daddy.”
The big geese’s senses were very sharp.
As long as someone was within a hundred meters, they would definitely notice them.
Only then did Dumby lazily bring its harem and children around the courtyard as if they were patrolling.
Xiao Hanzheng knew that “mummy” meant mother, and “daddy “meant father.
He had never dreamed that he would be the father of a big goose…
Dumby led its family members on patrol, and Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo’s hand as they walked and told her about what had happened in the palace.
Shi Qingluo was stunned when she heard it.
“So Zhuo Jun has such an identity.
“No wonder she intentionally showed displeasure and hostility when she met me for the first time.”
If others disliked her, of course she wouldn’t like them either.
Now that she knew that Zhuo Jun was pretending, she didn’t hold a grudge against her.
Instead, she felt that a woman like her was brave and resourceful.
“Her life since she was young has been quite miserable. No wonder she wanted to break away from other’s control.”
It was also unfortunate to meet such a mother.
She had been living in utter hell since young and had not gone astray.
This meant that Zhuo Jun wasn’t narrow minded.
Otherwise, she would be able to make herself autistic.
She snorted again. “King Jin really thinks that he can actually get Zhuo Jun involved with you such that what’s done cannot be undone if she didn’t manage to get you on board.”
King Jin, she remembered it.
Xiao Hanzheng was also very disgusted with King Jin.
“He is too self-righteous.”
He really thought that he knew more about men.
“Let’s go to the northern border this time and try to bring him down.”
In his previous life, King Jin had rebelled and fought with the imperial court’s army for quite some time.
When a war began, the commoners and the innocent soldiers of the two armies suffered.
Even if they wanted to raise the butcher’s knife, it should be to the outside world, not to those within their nation.
King Jin had really been completely corrupted by power.
He sighed, “It’s fortunate that when the late emperor appointed the crown Prince, his mind was still clear and he did not allow King Jin to become the emperor.”
Otherwise, even if he was not as tyrannical as the emperor in the previous dynasty, the lives of the people would not have been so good.
King Jin was not a king who would work hard for the country and the people.
He was also very narrow-minded and did not listen to other people’s advice.
He would not assign his subordinates with tasks that commensurate their abilities.
He was far inferior to the current emperor.
Shi Qingluo was actually quite lost for words regarding the previous emperor. “But he indulged King Jin’s ambition and pampered him so much that he became self-centered.
“If the previous emperor had not given the northern border to King Jin as a fief and sent his beloved consort and King Jin to the fief before the current emperor ascended the throne, this situation wouldn’t exist today.”
Back then, that beloved consort must have had a lot of pillow talk.
Therefore, the late emperor was afraid that the current emperor would make a move on his beloved consort and his son, so he sent them away.
If the intention was to send them away, then just send them away.
He even gave them so many forces that could create resistance with the emperor.
This was too much.
The current situation might not have been within the late emperor’s expectation.
However, he still doted on his beloved consort and his beloved son, and he did so even if there were hidden dangers.
So the late emperor was actually quite a jerk.
He treated his wife, the empress, as a jerk.
After making use of her family to ascend the throne, he sent his true love, who he raised outside, into the palace to annoy his wife.
He treated his people as jerks too.
After building Daliang and indulging King Jin for his own selfish desires, he wasn’t afraid that the people would once again fall into the abyss of war.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “The late emperor is indeed not clear-headed in this aspect.”
Because they were in an open area and Dumby was guarding them, they spoke freely.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Then it seems that we will be going to the northern border soon. Let’s make some preparations soon.
“Oh right, should the glass’s recipe be presented to the emperor before we go to the northern border?”
Their nation’s treasury was currently tight on budget and facing internal and external problems.
Without money, there were many things that could not be done.
If the emperor had his people to build glass, not only could they sell it at a high price within Daliang, but they could also sell it at a high price in the western regions and exchange it for other things.
It was very beneficial to stabilize Daliang.
With money, they could improve their weapons and equipment.
They would not lack food and grains, and they would have an advantage in the battlefields.
Born in a peaceful country, Shi Qingluo really did not like war.
If she could do more, she would.
It could be considered a virtue.
Perhaps after she passed away here, she could return to the modern world.
She came to this world after passing out from exhaustion in the modern world.
She did not know if she died suddenly, or if she just passed out and did not wake up.
Moreover, presenting the formula to the emperor was beneficial to her young husband.
From the way the emperor was acting, it did not seem like he would kill a donkey after the grinding was done.
Moreover, their family did not lack money at the moment.
What they lacked was a golden thigh.
Then whose golden thigh was thicker?
There was no one else besides the emperor.
If he wanted to hug it, he had to hug the thickest thigh.
Only then would he be able to live a more stable life in the future and not have to be afraid.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll go and present the glass formula in the next few days.”
