She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 299 Expectation

  Princess Ningyang was very pleased to receive the new year gift sent by Zhaowang.

  She asked about Zhao Wang's current situation.

   "I heard that Ji'er was sick recently. Is it serious? Have you been seen by an imperial doctor?"

  Gao Shan strictly followed the instructions of King Zhao, shut up.

   Seeing this, the princess Ningyang couldn’t help but frown: “Why don’t you answer if I ask you something? Could it be that Ji’er is very ill?”

   Gao Shan still did not speak.

  It wasn't until the princess Ningyang sank her face to sternly ask, Gao Shan had to speak.

   "Please forgive the princess. It is not the slave-maid who refuses to say, but the slave-maid refused to let the slave-maid say that the slave-maid dare not disobey His Royal Highness's orders, and I beg the princess not to embarrass the slave-maid."

  After speaking, he knelt down, as if he would rather die than obey the instructions of King Zhao.

  Princess Ningyang became more worried.

  Is it possible that King Zhao is really very sick?

  She immediately stood up: "Go, I want to go to the Zhaowang Mansion to take a look."

  ……

  Li Ji was not surprised at the arrival of Princess Ningyang.

  Because this is the result he wants.

  He opened his mouth to call to his grandmother, and then coughed with his head down.

  Princess Ningyang hurriedly ordered a cup of hot tea to King Zhao.

  Li Ji took the tea cup and drank two sips of hot tea, only then did he feel a little more comfortable in his throat.

  Princess Ningyang feels very distressed: "You have been sick for several days, why don't you get better?"

  Li Ji's voice is hoarse: "I feel better, grandma don't worry too much."

  Princess Ningyang sighed.

  "You are my only grandson, how can I not worry?"

  Li Ji: "It's also unfortunate that I just happened to be ill at this time, so that even the things the saint confessed could not be completed."

  Princess Ningyang: "Are you talking about repairing the Taimiao? Just leave those things to the second prince and the fifth prince. They are not young anymore, so it's time to have a good experience."

  Li Ji: "The second prince and the fifth prince still have too little experience. Taimiao is not an ordinary place. Someone must be watching to prevent them from not detecting any troubles."

  Princess Ningyang: “Don’t worry about this. Taimiao will be repaired almost every year. The Ministry of Engineering is very proficient in this matter, and there shouldn’t be any problems.”

  Li Ji: "I'm worried about the crowds, what if I don’t have long eyes and break things in the temple? It's better to put away the valuable things in the temple in advance."

  Princess Ningyang laughed: "What valuable things can be in the ancestral temple? You think too much."

  Li Ji said half jokingly.

   "But when I was a child, I heard some rumors that there were treasures hidden in the Taimiao. I was so young and ignorant at that time. I believed it true, thinking that if I had the opportunity, I would have to find it in the Taimiao myself."

  Princess Ningyang showed helplessness: "In the Taimiao temple, except for the memorial tablet, there is joss stick paper money. You must have been cheated by someone."

  Li Ji looked into her eyes and did not hear any sound from her heart.

  It seems that what she said at this time was all truthful.

  Li Ji stopped probing and turned to other things.

  Princess Ningyang hesitated and couldn't help asking: "Will you return to the town government office this year?"

  Li Ji was silent.

  Going back to Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, it means that he has to face Princess Rouwan.

  As long as he thinks of that woman, her eyes full of hatred will appear in his mind.

   He closed his eyes and whispered.

"No return."

  Princess Ningyang tried to persuade: "Your mother is just a son like you. If you don't go back, she can only spend the New Year alone alone, how pitiful."

  Li Ji spit out a word indifferently.

   "She doesn't need me."

  Princess Ningyang sighed: "Hey, my mother and son, how come this is the case?"

  Li Ji turned his head and looked out the window.

  Snowflakes are fluttering outside the window, the pine trees in the yard are covered with snow, and the branches of the pine trees are hanging down with ice lings of different lengths.

  His eyes are colder than those Bing Lingzi.

  When Princess Ningyang left Zhaowang Mansion, the snow stopped.

  She got into the carriage with the help of the maid.

  The carriage starts and returns to the original road.

  Princess Ningyang leaned on the soft pillow and closed her eyes to rest, and she couldn't help but remember the words that King Zhao had just said in her mind.

  Wang Zhao said that when he was a child, he had heard that there were treasures hidden in the Taimiao.

  She can't remember any treasures in Taimiao.

  She thought of another thing.

   There are rumors that before the emperor died, he had hidden something in the Taimiao.

  But Taimiao will be renovated every year. If there is something hidden inside, it must have been uncovered long ago.

   So, rumors are just rumors, and they can’t be true.

  ……

  Three days later, Taimiao officially started construction.

  The second prince Li Hao and the fifth prince Li Yan were present in person, and the groundbreaking ceremony was very grand.

  After careful recuperation, Li Ji's condition gradually improved.

   Seeing that the New Year is almost coming, the Fuzhong has bought a lot of goods, and the lanterns under the eaves have also been replaced with red.

  Flowers on a whim, cut a lot of window grilles and pasted them on the windows.

  After some dressing up, the whole palace looks beaming and full of New Year's atmosphere.

Since the death of his father, Li Ji has spent the years in the border gate every year. The conditions in the border gate are difficult. The so-called Chinese New Year is when soldiers gather to drink and eat meat. Every time many soldiers cry and drink and say they want Home now.

  Li Ji is probably the only one present who does not miss home.

  Because his family fell apart completely after the war five years ago.

  For Li Ji, the only meaning of New Year is to tell him that the old year has passed and the new year is coming.

  Flower Manman put a large bunch of red plum blossoms into the vase, turned to look at King Zhao, and asked.

  "How do you think these flowers are placed here? Do they look good?"

  Li Ji gave an objective evaluation: "Cheesy."

  The flower hummed: "What, how lively this flower blooms, and what a New Year atmosphere!"

   Then she didn't know from which corner of the basket she turned out a basket of persimmons.

  She used thin twine to string the red persimmons into a string, and wanted to hang them on the wall by the door, but her height was limited.

  She can only look at King Zhao with a look for help.

  Li Ji stretched out his hand to take the persimmon skewers, stretched out his long arms, and hung them up easily.

  Hua Manman admired his masterpiece and said with joy.

   "It's all right!"

  Li Ji raised his eyebrows: "You still believe this?"

  Hua Manman: "Believe it or not is not important, what is important is to ask for a good omen."

  In addition to persimmons, she also got a potted plant of a money tree and put it in the house, and threatened that the money tree can attract fortune. Putting it at home will make the family rich in the coming year.

  Li Ji sat next to her and watched her toss around.

  She is like a little bee, flying around, trying to decorate her and his nest.

  Looking at her cheerful little look, Li Ji suddenly had some expectations for the coming New Year.
