Speaking of which, when she finally gained power and could command the world, she more or less had a dream that was as simple and practical as the emperors, generals and ministers of ancient and modern times.
He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.
She had achieved the former by herself, but the latter... she didn't want to talk about it.
It’s not that there are no beauties, on the contrary there are many.
But she seems to be born with the ability to easily see whether the person in front of her is sincere, and sitting in her position, there is really not much sincerity.
And she didn't want to give in.
As time went by, I became tired, and the desire to be drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman faded away.
Compared to those relationships that are constantly being sorted out and messed up, work makes her happier.
Opening up territory and expanding the territory, ruling the Qingming Dynasty, everything gives people a sense of accomplishment.
But it's not so absolute to say that she had never been tempted in her previous life.
It's just the emperor's thoughts that are not enough for outsiders to understand.
She never even talked about the people closest to her.
But at this moment, Jiang Lingxi raised her hand to hold her heart, which was suddenly beating fast.
Even if it's just a silhouette.
After a few breaths passed, she put down her hands and walked towards the blooming crabapple tree.
He Zhu subconsciously wanted to lift his heels, but before he could take a step, Xia Zhi grabbed his sleeve with one hand and then dragged him in the opposite direction without a doubt.
He could only be dragged back to the outside of Nanyuan, "Brother Xia?"
"Sir and Madam are talking about something, so let's not disturb them for now. Sir will call us if he has any instructions."
He Zhu looked back and could vaguely see Jiang Lingxi walking up to the boss through the gaps between the flowers and trees.
Although it was a bit far away, it would be a bit inappropriate to sneak into such a scene.
"Then I will sort out the work that I will report later."
Xia Zhi: "Okay, would you like a cup of tea?"
"Let's have coffee."
Xia Zhi gave him a look that said, "Why are you still ignorant?" and turned around to prepare.
He Zhu scratched his head. He didn't know that Brother Xia's tea was all good, but he just didn't know the quality. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. He might as well drink the coffee he was used to drinking, so as not to waste everything.
Jiang Lingxi walked to the opposite side of Shen Yunqing and saw the cushioned low stool at her feet. She knew at a glance that it was prepared for her.
After sitting down, her eyes fell on the face of the person in front of her and she frowned.
Without him, this man not only wore white clothes that made her subconsciously miss him, but also wore a white mask on his face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, slightly narrowed eyebrows, and a sharp inner edge.
The whole person seemed a little careless and a little weak.
It seems that he is really sick!
"Drink tea."
Jiang Lingxi lowered her eyes and saw the slender fingers under the white sleeves holding a beautiful transparent glass. The orange-red tea was slightly rippling and was handed to her.
Black tea is mild and warm to the stomach, suitable for drinking before meals, and it is quite hearty.
She couldn't help but relax after taking a sip. This was the best tasting tea she had ever had after waking up.
Because of this, before telling the purpose of her trip, she prepared to express some concern for the person in front of her, "Before I came here, my assistant said that you are feeling a little unwell and are recuperating. Is it a bit serious?"
Seeing that she was even wearing a mask, she couldn't help but think so.
Shen Yunqing's eyes, which were slightly drooped, couldn't help but raise.
He had been deliberately not looking at the face opposite him, but the voice of concern he just heard made him a little more impulsive.
When he looked over, he replied: "It's the flu. It's not serious. I'm afraid of contagion."
Jiang Lingxi held the glass and nodded suddenly. After drinking the tea in the small cup, she put down the cup and met Shen Yunqing's eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the air in Nanyuan seemed to stop flowing for a moment.
Until Jiang Lingxi looked away as if nothing had happened, nodded and commented: "The tea is good. If I knew you were still feeling uncomfortable, I wouldn't have come here today, mainly because I couldn't see anyone when I looked for you last time." So don't blame her for being like this. Persistence!
Of course, these words were meant to be polite, and she didn't care whether the other party heard it or not.
Shen Yunqing's fingers curled up unconsciously under the table. When he spoke again, his tone was still calm. The slight hint of nervousness was almost imperceptible, "I was on a business trip last time. You said on the phone that you wanted to see me if you had anything to do. Talking, don’t know what it is about?”
But Jiang Lingxi heard it. Although she didn't know why this person was a little nervous, it didn't affect what she was going to say next, "Actually, I have always had a question, which has been bothering me for too long. Why did Mr. Shen help me in the first place? Did you get a marriage certificate from me on this condition?"
She asked this question not only for herself, but also for the original owner.
It's just that the original owner couldn't solve the problem until he left.
It's okay, she's here to help now.
"because……"
Jiang Lingxi poured herself another cup of black tea and pretended to be listening.
Shen Yunqing's somewhat hoarse voice sounded even deeper and ethereal through the mask, "More than half a year ago, I was advised by an expert that Miss Jiang will be the one in my life."
"boom!"
The bottom of the glass made a soft sound when it came into contact with the table because the person who put it down had a little force.
Jiang Lingxi's eyes widened slightly. See if I believe it or not.
As a result, the other party was not to be outdone and responded with sincerity in his eyes.
The exchange of looks just now could barely be described as a thousand-year glance, but this time it was a real confrontation.
Shen Yunqing: What I said is true.
Jiang Lingxi: I don’t believe it!
But as time passed, Jiang Lingxi said: "..."
This feeling of competition always feels a bit familiar!
Until a gust of wind blew over, and the blooming crabapple tree above the two of them swayed in the wind. After a moment, the crabapple petals fell from the branches. Seeing that one of them was about to fall into the teacup at hand, Jiang Lingxi quickly reached out to catch it, and heard the sound from the other side. The person coughed repressedly, and the somewhat stiff atmosphere relaxed slightly.
Jiang Lingxi held the crabapple petals that fell in her hand, "At least make up a reason that can convince me!"
Shen Yunqing pressed his knuckles against his itchy throat, "Forgive me for the reason why I can't tell you."
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
This makes it very difficult for her!
In the final analysis, it was the original owner's family who was short-handed, and the original owner also agreed to settle the family's debts at the cost of getting a marriage certificate with the person in front of him. During this period, the other party did not use coercion or inducement.
To put it bluntly, it is a transaction that both parties are willing to do.
She really couldn't force Shen Yunqing to tell the real reason.
But if she didn't understand the other party's purpose of doing this, she couldn't help but think about such an unresolved matter in her heart.
There are still things in this world that she can't solve!
But after much deliberation, I still have no idea.
There can't be any torture!
Shen Yunqing's eyes touched Jiang Lingxi's frowning eyebrows, and his eyes closed slightly. After a moment, he spoke softly in a weak and forbearing tone: "I know that it is a bit unkind to take advantage of others' danger. If so, if Miss Jiang is looking for someone in the future, To the person I love in this life, I am willing to terminate my engagement with Miss Jiang, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on, is that okay?"
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
She was speechless at this moment, and wanted to just pull off Shen Yunqing's mask and ask this face: What are you trying to do?
