Princess Consort Is No Pushover

He held her hand tightly, hugged her into his arms, and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I hate King Xian because I hate Chu Yao and Wu Jiwu. I'm really afraid of losing you, so I'm so impulsive."

Now he didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Yun Ruoyue didn't push him away, but just let him hug him dully, "Don't worry, I even have your child, what can I think?"

Hearing these words, Chu Xuanchen's heart froze.

He didn't know what to say, so he hugged her tightly.

At this time, he raised his eyebrows, and saw a man standing in front of the window sill on the second floor opposite.

Through the candlelight, he saw that it was the Wise King.

Seeing King Xian's coveting gaze, he gave him a cold and warning look, then held Yun Ruoyue's small face in his hands, "Yue'er, I love you."

As he said that, he kissed her lips domineeringly, demanding from her lips and teeth like a predator.

Romantic fireflies surround them, twinkling like stars in the sky.

In the wing room on the second floor, King Xian watched this scene and clenched his fists tightly.

Is Chu Xuanchen demonstrating to him, showing off, or warning him?

He admitted that Chu Xuanchen had won.

He didn't want to watch this scene, so he closed the window coldly.

Yun Ruoyue didn't resist this kiss, she just stood there dumbly, allowing Chu Xuanchen to kiss her.

It took a long time before he ended this lingering kiss.

After it was over, Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue. Seeing her indifferent expression, he hurriedly changed the subject, "Yue'er, we have been digging the pond for five days, and the storage pond is about to bear fruit. Do you want to go and see it with me tomorrow?"

"Okay." Yun Ruoyue nodded quietly.

Chu Xuanchen immediately hugged her into his arms, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

-

That night, although the two did not quarrel again, the atmosphere between them became very dull.

Yun Ruoyue was polite to Chu Xuanchen on the surface, but in this politeness, there was a slight alienation.

Early the next morning, she and Chu Xuanchen went to the lower reaches of the Jiajiang River to check how the storage ponds were being dug.

As a result, as soon as the workers saw her, they started whispering.

"Look, Princess Li is here. It was her idea to ask everyone to dig a pond. I don't know if this pond is useful."

"Who knows, what can a woman know? She's not a high-ranking official, let alone water conservancy. She kept asking everyone to dig ponds, and she didn't know what kind of bad idea she came up with."

"I heard that within five days, the Jiajiang flood will reach Jiangzhou. When the flood arrives, our Jiangzhou will be submerged. At that time, we will lose our homes, and maybe we will all be drowned. This woman's idea is clearly disregarding human lives and not caring about the lives of ordinary people."

"If Jiangzhou is flooded, then Li Wang and his wife are the big sinners in our Jiangzhou. We ghosts will not let them go."

Hearing these words, Yun Ruoyue was not angry. She looked around and found that several ponds had been dug in the fields not far away.

Near the newly dug pond, there were three former ponds. After sweeping around, she said to Chu Xuanchen, "My lord, these old ponds also need to be cleaned up. We need to send people to dig deep and wide the pond, clear out the silt, and use it to fill those depressions. There are several small rivers near here. It will become stronger. This will make it easier to adjust and store and stagger the flood front. We also need to send people to strengthen the dams of the two upstream reservoirs, as well as the dams in other places.
