Half a day later.
The carriages of Liu Mingzhi, Qi Yun and his wife slowly stopped outside the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
"Xu."
Young Master Liu turned over and dismounted, looked at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum with complicated eyes, and sighed softly.
"well."
"Xu."
Liu Song jumped off the carriage directly, picked up the small stool on the carriage frame and placed it on the ground.
"Young ladies, we are here."
"OK."
Qi Yun gently opened the curtain on the carriage and stepped out of the carriage gracefully.
Immediately afterwards, the three princesses, Qinglian, Wenren Yunshu, Huang Lingyi and other sisters stepped out of their respective carriages.
Qi Yun walked to Young Master Liu's side with light steps, and turned to look at the groups of craftsmen coming and going at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, and the convoy coming in and out.
"Husband, has the construction of the imperial mausoleum started again?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the busy craftsmen at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, construction started again a month ago."
"Hey, I understand."
The third princess, Qi Ya, Ling Weier and other sisters, each holding a beautiful food box in their hands, walked to Young Master Liu's side and stopped.
Immediately, all the sisters, like Qi Yun, looked curiously at the craftsmen who were busy not far away.
The third princess withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Young Master Liu and asked softly: "Husband, are you the one who is building the mausoleum this time? Or are you accompanying the mausoleum?"
Hearing the curious question from the third princess, Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head.
"Hahaha, Hao Yan'er, to be honest, as a husband, I don't even know how the Ministry of Works arranged it.
You also know that as a husband, I rarely ask about these things. "
The third princess frowned slightly, and shook her head helplessly with her pretty face.
"You are so lazy.
The matter of the imperial mausoleum is so important, you don’t even know to pay more attention to it. "
"Hahaha, Hao Yan'er, as a husband, I say that you don't use people you trust, and you don't trust people you use."
"Fuck you, just make excuses for your laziness."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and walked straight towards the imperial mausoleum.
“Ladies, let’s not talk about this for now.
Let's go, let's go worship Tao Ying first.
Yun'er, help me carry my husband's food box. "
"Yes, I know."
Qi Yun responded with a sweet voice, turned around and took the two food boxes from the maid's hands, and quickly chased after Young Master Liu.
"Hey, here we come."
The rest of the beauties nodded their heads a few times in unison, and followed him with swaying steps.
"Yeah, here we come."
The busy craftsmen saw Liu Dashao and his wife walking towards the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. They quickly stopped their work and took the initiative to move out of the way.
Although they didn't know the identities of Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, Third Princess and his wife, they were not stupid.
Just from the way Young Master Liu, Qi Yun and his wife dressed, as well as the vague aura on their bodies.
They could tell that the identities of Young Master Liu and his wife were definitely extraordinary.
Either rich or noble.
Seeing this situation, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head.
Immediately, he shook the folding fan in his hand and walked towards an older craftsman, about fifty years old, with a smile on his face.
"Brother, you are polite."
The craftsman looked panicked, quickly put down the tools in his hands, and bowed to Young Master Liu with a cautious expression.
"Don't dare, don't dare, this gentleman is too old and too polite."
Liu Dashao nodded harmoniously, turned around and looked around at the craftsmen who were all staring at him curiously.
"Brother, you guys start work quite early."
"Sir, the sun has already risen so high. It's getting late. It's getting late."
Mr. Liu nodded slightly and continued to look at the situation around him.
"Brother, have you had breakfast before you start taking action?"
The craftsman looked stunned and subconsciously replied: "I've eaten it, I've eaten it all."
"How was your meal? Is the food okay?"
Seeing Young Master Liu asking such detailed questions, a look of vigilance flashed in the craftsman's eyes.
Pretending to be unintentional, he took two steps back and stared at Young Master Liu warily, looking up and down.
"Sir, who are you?"
Liu Dashan saw the craftsman's suddenly wary eyes, and realized that he had asked too many questions at once, which aroused his vigilance.
"Hahaha, brother, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."
After hearing this, the craftsman still stared closely at Mr. Liu, not letting down his guard at all.
"Really? So you are?"
"Brother, I am an official from the Ministry of Industry. I have been ordered to inspect the imperial mausoleum."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, a loud voice of inquiry suddenly came from not far away.
"Zhao Wu, what are you doing as a team? Why did everyone stop?"
When the craftsman in front of Young Master Liu heard the sound, he quickly turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw an official wearing a crimson official robe walking towards Young Master Liu and others with a frown on his face.
"Master He, we are not the little old man..."
Zhao Wu had just finished speaking halfway when the official in crimson official robes suddenly changed his face when he saw Liu Dashao and his wife and others standing beside him.
Immediately, he hurriedly rushed towards Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, the third princess and his wife and others.
"He Wenhai, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, comes to see Your Majesty, the Queen, and all the noble concubines.
Long live my emperor, may all my empresses live a thousand lives. "
When the craftsmen saw this situation, they looked stunned at first, and then they hurriedly knelt before Liu Mingzhi, his wife and others.
"The common people pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor and all the empresses.
Long live my emperor, may my empress live a thousand lives. "
Young Master Liu nodded slightly, smiled softly and held up his hands.
"Well, it's all free of charge."
Qi Yun, the third princess and the other sisters also raised their hands to signal.
"No gifts, no gifts at all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the craftsmen stood up one after another, looking at Liu Dashao and his wife and others, their faces were all filled with excitement that could not be described in words.
These are His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, and all the concubines.
Common people like me are actually lucky enough to see the current emperor, the queen, and all the noble concubines.
this! this! This is a matter of honoring the ancestors.
While Zhao Wu looked excited, his eyes were filled with fear.
I... I dared to question His Majesty the Emperor just now.
He, he shouldn't blame himself, right?
"Wenhai."
"I'm here."
"You came here early in the morning to supervise the work. You are quite diligent."
"Eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries are the duties of ministers."
"Hehehe, how is the situation inside the imperial mausoleum?"
"Your Majesty, all the craftsmen have already started work."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, nodded, and looked at Zhao Wu cheerfully.
"Brother, can you tell me now, how is your food?"
He Wenhai heard the question Liu Dashao asked Zhao Wu, and quickly looked at the craftsmen around him, and the expression on his face instantly became nervous.
Zhao Wuyi's expression tightened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...the common people...the common people..."
Young Master Liu looked at the nervous Zhao Wu and shook his head happily.
"Hahaha, brother, don't be nervous, I don't eat people."
"Your Majesty, grass people, grass people."
"Brother Zhao, can you tell me now what you had for breakfast?"
As Young Master Liu spoke, he glanced at He Wenhai with a faint smile.
"Brother, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. Just tell the truth."
He Wenhai noticed Young Master Liu's eyes, and his expression became even more nervous.
"Back to Your Majesty, steamed buns, steamed buns, gruel, and pickles."
"Steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, pickles?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"Can you eat enough with these breakfasts?"
"Okay, okay, all the food is taken care of."
Young Master Liu nodded silently, turned around and looked around at the craftsmen around him.
"What about you? Can you have enough to eat?"
"Your Majesty, we can all have enough to eat."
"Yes, yes, we can all have enough to eat."
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the breakfast we eat here is much better than what we eat at home."
"That's right, we can't bear to have such a good breakfast at home."
"Your Majesty, the big meat buns prepared for us by Mr. He and all the other adults are delicious. One bite will make your mouth full of oil."
He Wenhai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sincere answers from the craftsmen.
He was really afraid that the craftsmen would deliberately make him jealous in front of Young Master Liu because he often scolded them.
Now, seeing that all the craftsmen were telling the truth, he could finally relax from the heavy burden in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there are seven or eight kinds of pickles we eat here.
At home, the most we can do is eat some pickles made by my wife and other wives. "
"Your Majesty the Emperor, common people..."
Young Master Liu gradually put away the smile on his face as he listened to the craftsmen's answers.
"Isn't the breakfast you had at home even comparable to the breakfast here?"
"Your Majesty, how much can anyone eat for this morning meal?"
"Yes, yes, as long as you can eat enough."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and thought for a moment, then turned his attention directly to Zhao Wu.
"What about lunch? How was lunch?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is meat for lunch."
"Can I eat it every day?"
"Uh...this...this..."
"Tell it like it is."
"Your Majesty, I can have a meal every now and then."
"Really? You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
Zhao Wu tensed up suddenly and nodded hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, even if you borrow 10,000 courage from ordinary people, I would not dare to lie to you."
Then, he quickly raised his hand and pointed at the craftsmen around him.
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can ask them."
Before Young Master Liu could ask, the craftsmen around him nodded hurriedly at Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, everything Zhao Tou said is true."
"Your Majesty, Brother Zhao is right. When we were at home, we could have a meal of meat every now and then."
After Master Liu looked around at the faces of the craftsmen, he nodded with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! As long as you can have a meal of meat every now and then."
All the craftsmen looked at the smiling Young Master Liu and scratched their heads with innocent smiles on their faces.
They seemed to want to say something, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Seeing this situation, He Wenhai immediately waved his hand.
"Zhao Wu, why are you all laughing so hard? Why don't you thank your Majesty quickly?
Long live your majesty, your majesty. "
Upon hearing this, the craftsmen headed by Zhao Wu hurriedly saluted Mr. Liu.
"Your majesty is wise, long live my emperor."
"No gifts, no gifts at all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Wenhai."
"I'm here."
"The craftsmen have had a hard day's work. Don't always prepare the same meals for them. Occasionally give them a change of meals."
"Yes, I obey.
After I return, I will discuss these matters in detail with all your Lordships immediately. "
Young Master Liu nodded with a smile, raised his hand and patted Zhao Wu on the shoulder.
"Brother, keep busy, I'll go in first."
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty and all the empresses."
"The common people send you your majesty and all the empresses."
Young Master Liu waved his hand casually and walked straight towards the imperial mausoleum.
Qi Yun, the third princess, Xue Bizhu and other beauties immediately followed.
It took about two cups of tea.
The figures of Young Master Liu and his party appeared outside the first accompanying mausoleum.
"Sir, we are here."
Young Master Liu nodded sadly and walked straight towards the entrance of the mausoleum.
"Let's go."
Liu Mingzhi was walking when he suddenly stopped and looked at the cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the entrance to the mausoleum with a surprised expression on his face.
"Um?"
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"Yun'er, these two cherry blossom trees?"
Qi Yun looked at her husband's surprised expression, turned to look at the two cherry blossom trees in front of her, smiled and licked her red lips a few times.
"Last year, my sisters came together and got into trouble."
"What? Did it happen last year?"
"Yeah, yes, it was planted last year."
"Hey, on the anniversary of Tao Ying's death later in the year, when my husband and I came to pay her respects, I remember not seeing these two cherry blossom trees."
“Husband, maybe it’s because the cherry blossoms haven’t bloomed yet, so you didn’t notice these two cherry blossom trees.
Right now, these two cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and it’s hard for you, husband, not to notice. "
Young Master Liu nodded with a clear expression and continued walking towards the entrance of the mausoleum.
"That's true. To be honest, as a husband, I really didn't pay attention to these two cherry blossom trees at that time."
"How are you, stinky husband? Aren't my sisters very considerate?"
"Hehehe, Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, thank you sisters for your hard work."
"That's right. Sister Tao Ying is also one of our good sisters."
Young Master Liu slowly stopped, looked at the Broken Dragon Stone in front of him, squatted down with a lonely expression, and silently cleaned the dust on the low table.
Behind the Broken Dragon Stone is the silly woman lying in the coffin.
It is the regret of my life. (End of chapter)
