He could not find any flaws in the performance of the second prince and the fourth prince in the game. They seemed to be really not interested in this game.
The Sixth Prince actively participated in solving the problem, taking the lead and wooing him. So, the Sixth Prince was the one who wanted to kill the Seventh Prince?
However, looking at the sixth prince's performance this time, it doesn't look like it.
He moved out the cement that day. Although the Sixth Prince stared at him with complicated eyes, he did not notice the murderous intention.
His sixth sense has always been very accurate. He really didn't feel any murderous intention in the sixth prince at that time. Even if he snatched away the appreciation of the imperial edict in public, the sixth prince's mood has always been quite stable.
Unless he has superb acting skills, the sixth prince does not seem to be someone who would kill the seventh prince with the kind of heart he showed.
According to the seventh prince, regardless of whether it was the eldest prince or the seventh prince himself, there was no grudge against the sixth prince.
The Seventh Prince was selfless and had offended most of the civil and military officials in the court, but he had never offended anyone who was apparently close to the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince's mother's family, the Xu family, has a good reputation.
The sixth prince's mother-in-law is also a gentle person.
At least the seventh prince didn't find anything too dirty.
…
That’s all, let’s take it one step at a time.
He held Tao Zhu's hand and said as he walked across the east courtyard: "The Holy One named this new object today, plaster. He decided to make plaster in large quantities."
"I took the opportunity to mention your thoughts to him."
"My thoughts?" Tao Zhu looked at him puzzled.
"Don't you want to help others? Making plaster requires a lot of manpower. Therefore, I asked the Holy Father for you to be responsible for the recruitment of plaster workshops. How about it?"
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"...You asked me for a job?"
Tao Zhushui's eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He is a husband, Li Qiao actually asked him for a serious job in front of the Holy Sage?
"Yes, you are only responsible for recruitment, not daily management. You are so busy on weekdays and have no time to go to the plaster workshop every day."
"This is just a test of the waters. When your relatives from my hometown come and you have more free time, I will ask you for other errands."
After Li Qiao said this, he saw that Tao Zhu kept his round eyes in a state of shock. The more he looked at him, the more adorable he became, so he couldn't help but move forward and kiss his lips.
This kiss brought Tao Zhu back from his state of shock.
He immediately grabbed Li Qiao's shoulders with both hands, his handsome face full of excitement: "Then when will I go to work?"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Qiao's reply, he immediately held Li Qiao's cheeks and kissed Li Qiao's lips fiercely.
He loved this man so much!
Tao Zhu hadn't been so excited for a long time, and Li Qiao happily returned the kiss. Anyway, they were the only ones left in the main courtyard at the moment.
You kissed me and I kissed you for a long time, and the two of them finally got down to talking about business.
Tao Zhu can go to work in two days.
Sheng Hong always worked vigorously and resolutely. He wanted to build the road from Shengjing to Dingchun Garden first. Summer was coming and he couldn't stand the heat. He wanted to move to Dingchun Garden.
After building this road, we will build all the other roads in Shengjing City.
Shengjing can be regarded as his home. Many of the paths and alleys in Shengjing are dirt roads. When it rains, water accumulates, making it difficult to walk in the mud.
Although he didn't travel incognito on rainy days, he knew what it was like.
If every road in Shengjing City becomes smooth and free of water in the future, then he might go out for a walk on rainy days in the future.
The cement alarmed Sheng Jun, who had moved to Dingchun Garden to escape the summer heat and made a special trip back to the palace.
Sheng Jun rode his scooter back and forth on the cement path in the Royal Garden twice, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "It's just as you said, there is no bumpy feeling at all."
"No, if all the official roads are covered with plaster in the future, then even if you are eighty years old, you can still visit our prosperous country."
Sheng Hong said with a smile.
"I'm waiting for that day. But, you just gave Li Qiao an imperial edict?"
"This imperial edict of appreciation was originally intended to give you several grandchildren. If you want to be an emperor, you have to make sacrifices but cannot get material rewards. You can only lose money to support the prosperity of the country. Therefore, I will only praise and not give other rewards. .”
"Although Li Qiao unexpectedly won the first game, we cannot change our original intention."
Sheng Hong explained.
"That's right. Then Li Qiao will not be given a share of the plaster workshop?" Sheng Jun asked again.
"Here, he is a hero, but you can't let him down. As always, give him half of the profits."
"However, it will definitely not be profitable in the early stage. We must first build the roads in Shengjing City, conduct a large-scale inspection, and confirm that there are no problems before selling it to the people."
"Okay." Sheng Jun nodded and said, "It's good that you have added the power to exchange the iron coupon for the elixir to appreciate the imperial edict."
As soon as these words came out, Sheng Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "At that time, I also saw that Xu'er asked Li Qiao some sharp questions, and I was afraid that brothers would kill each other in the future, so I gave him such a power."
"The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I have to try my best to protect them."
"I hope they can understand my painstaking efforts."
"However, looking at Xu'er's performance, he should really admire Li Aiqing."
"It's good. Look at it this way, the young man Li Qiao gets along well with them, and there is no rift between them because of the close proximity between Li Qiao and Xiao Qi."
Sheng Jun looked satisfied.
In fact, he only believed that the seventh prince really appreciated Li Qiao at this time.
But let’s go and see.
As time goes by, people with malicious intentions will always show their little tails.

The author has something to say:
Chapter 182 Tao Zhu goes to work and Li Qiao goes with him
The cement workshop was temporarily built outside the city.
Sheng Hong converted one of his small villages into a cement workshop. The small village covers an area of more than 50 acres and is close to Shengjing City.
The workshop was built here to facilitate the construction of the road to Dingchun Garden.
Moreover, making cement requires the use of plant ash. If the supply of plant ash in the city is not available, it is also convenient to chop firewood from outside the city.
Plant ash is found in every household.
Plant ash has many uses. It can be used as traditional Chinese medicine to treat people's diseases, it can also be used to kill insects on crops, make fertilizer, or it can be spread into livestock nests and pens as a disinfectant.
However, although plant ash has a wide range of uses, every household can produce some every day. Therefore, before this, plant ash cannot be exchanged for money.
But now, Sheng Hong has posted notices at the city gate and in the city, saying that his cement workshop buys plant ash in large quantities for ten pounds a penny. People who have plant ash at home can send it to the cement workshop in exchange for money.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked.
ha?
Ten pounds of plant ash can be exchanged for one penny?
Then this must be replaced!
Many families in Shengjing City do not grow crops, so the greatest use of plant ash is gone.
As a result, plant ash can only be thrown away as garbage.
Now you can exchange money. Although you can exchange ten kilograms for one penny, and you have to carry the plant ashes to the outside of the city, a penny is still money.
Must change!
Sheng Hong's preparations for the workshop were extremely slow. As a recruitment manager, Tao Zhu was about to start work.
Li Qiao asked Sheng Hong for leave the day before Tao Zhu was to go to work.
"Asking for leave? What are you asking for leave for?" Sheng Hong looked at him curiously.
"When I return to the Holy Father, Mr. Weichen will have to work in the workshop tomorrow. It is the first time for him to do such an errand. Weichen is afraid that he will not be used to it, so he wants to give him courage."
Li Qiao explained with a serious look.
"..."
The corner of Sheng Hong's mouth twitched: "Of those people in the workshop, who can bully him? It's too late to flatter him."
Although the manager of the royal plaster workshop belongs to him, his official position is only seventh rank. How dare a seventh-rank petty official stumble into trouble for the husband of a third-rank official?
What a joke.
After hearing this, Li Qiao continued to explain without changing his expression: "That's true, but the workshop is a completely new environment for Mr. Weichen. Weichen wants to go and have a look, otherwise he won't feel at ease."
"...It's up to you."
Sheng Hong was completely speechless.
He has seen people who love their husbands/ladies, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Li Qiao treat her like a three-year-old child and go to work together to build up her courage.
However, Li Aiqing values love and justice so much, which is what he likes.
He likes such courtiers.
Although he looked disgusted but was satisfied at the same time, Li Qiao said again: "Then Weichen, please take three days off. I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to it for one day."
"?"
Sheng Hong had a question mark on his forehead and immediately pointed at him: "Did you want to be lazy, so you used your husband as an excuse?"
"Isn't it just recruiting people? You have to keep an eye on such a simple job for three days?"
"Of course not."
Li Qiao immediately explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen's husband followed Weichen from Sanliu Village to Shengjing, and has been Weichen's boss for many years. This is the first time that he has left Weichen and taken on responsibility in a strange environment. Da Ren, Wei Chen is proud of him, but he is worried in his heart."
