Chapter 1088 Sounds Like a Threat
These words seemed like a threat, but Xiang Zheng understood that they were actually His Majesty's warning to her.
Today, the Great Xia Dynasty is teeming with talented individuals, whether they are born with exceptional talent or cultivated through hard work.
The academies His Majesty established throughout the country played a significant role in the past.
It will be extremely difficult for the Xiang family to catch up.
"As long as Your Majesty speaks up, I will gladly oblige."
Liang Chongyue was only thinking about it, because she didn't know what the future held for this world.
Few dynasties can remain glorious forever.
Those blueprints are easy to obtain, but construction requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
It's exhausting and wasteful, but it will also accelerate the development of the times.
Yes, but it's really unnecessary.
The tides of time are always swift; one cannot become fat in a single bite.
Many things that seem like rewards in life are actually the ones that ruin people.
"Alright, take me inside and have a look."
This plum garden is even more unique, hundreds of times better than the previous one.
It's clear that Xiang Zheng put a lot of thought into this.
"What does Your Majesty think?"
"Very good. I intend to entrust you with the task of renovating the Imperial Garden from now on."
Liang Chongyue genuinely thought it was beautifully built, and Xiang Zheng also had excellent taste.
"It's just a matter of His Majesty's word; many of these craftsmen were specially granted to me by His Majesty."
The pavilions and towers are all beautiful.
Putting everything else aside, Xiang Zheng is really good at making money off women.
"Such a beautiful place will certainly keep you busy for a while."
Using the construction of this place as an excuse, the Xiang family can keep quiet for a while.
Plum blossom wine, plum blossom stuffed meat.
Liang Chongyue thought Xiang Zheng would take her here to have a long chat about life.
As soon as she sat down, the barbecue was set up.
"Are we really going to have a barbecue in such a beautiful place?"
Xiang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
“It’s well-ventilated here. If Your Majesty feels cold, we can go inside.”
However, Xiang Zheng noticed that His Majesty was not dressed as warmly as before when he went out today.
Perhaps the problem of feeling cold has gotten better?
"Not at all, I just find it has a unique charm."
Xiang Zheng immediately perked up when she realized that His Majesty understood her.
"The place where His Majesty is currently staying is not for sale; the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital can only stay in front."
Xiang Zheng pointed in the direction they came from.
The scenery there is also beautiful.
It's not much worse than where Liang Chongyue is now.
"That's a real plum garden. Besides plum blossoms, there's only grass on the ground. But there are flowers blooming here all year round. I planted them specially."
Xiang Zheng owns almost all of her businesses in Beijing, and each of them has a piece of land that she doesn't sell.
It's beautifully decorated; just looking at it makes you feel cheerful and happy.
It was also a spiritual sanctuary for Xiang Zheng in the capital.
Over the years, whenever Xiang Zheng was unhappy, she would go there to stay.
And because there were so many such places, her family couldn't find her for a while.
Before this little haven existed, Xiang Zheng would go directly to the palace to complain when she was wronged.
Then she gave Xiang Zheng some advice, which Xiang Zheng then carried out upon returning.
This back and forth has become a habit for them.
"And you don't have to worry about the smoke from the flowers and plants when you have barbecue or hot pot here."
As soon as Xiang Zheng finished speaking, Liang Chongyue saw someone carrying a hot pot.
"I just finished my breakfast and came here."
Xiang Zheng paused in her hand as she picked up some meat, and looked at Liang Chongyue as if to confirm the truth of her words.
Liang Chongyue nodded at her.
Xiang Zheng slapped her forehead; she had been so busy lately that she was in a complete mess.
I forgot about His Majesty taking his annual leave.
Preparations are still being made according to His Majesty's usual schedule.
"Then let's not eat for now. Your Majesty, let's go fishing. There are many peach blossom fish in the Taiye Pond in the palace, but I raise plum blossom fish here."
Liang Chongyue wasn't hungry, so Xiang Zheng had someone come and take everything away.
He took Liang Chongyue's hand and walked towards the pond.
A tent was thoughtfully set up by the pond; it didn't look big, but it was windproof.
"Did you set this up temporarily today?"
Liang Chongyue pointed at the tent and shook his head directly at Zheng.
"How could that be? I never intended to open this place to the public. I must have anticipated His Majesty's possible visit and prepared it long ago."
Xiang Zheng patted the tent.
"The original plan was to build a platform out of wood, but after looking at the blueprints, I wasn't very satisfied. This tent isn't temporary; it is indeed a temporary tent."
"Once the new blueprints come out, I'll have someone dismantle this tent."
Xiang Zheng now has money and free time, and can do whatever she wants.
Liang Chongyue tested the tent's sturdiness and found it to be quite good.
"The fishing rod and bait are inside."
Liang Chongyue and Xiang Zheng sat by the artificial lake, fishing.
There was a brazier burning inside the tent, so it wasn't cold.
Xiang Zheng didn't want to wait any longer, so she had someone bring meat and put it on the fire pit to roast.
This will make it easier for her to eat later.
Liang Chongyue looked down and smelled the smoky odor on her body. She would probably have to take a good shower when she got home tonight.
The smell on his head must be quite strong.
"I heard that Minglang has arranged a small gathering with three girls from the Jiang, Li, and Xue families today?"
Xiang Zheng wouldn't go looking for trouble when things are perfectly clear.
Liang Chongyue also took the opportunity to subtly inquire about this matter with Xiang Zheng.
"Yeah, I went to your territory?"
Xiang Zheng handed the freshly peeled orange to His Majesty.
"Naturally, I only found out about this because you went to my place, but it seems that many people probably know about it now."
Liang Chongyue recalled how efficiently Xue Wan packed her things that day.
This is no longer just something we knew; many intelligent people had already guessed it.
"So Your Majesty intends to bring Ake along?"
Liang Chongyue looked down at her hand holding the orange pulp; it was fair and slender.
The hands that once accompanied her in studying and practicing swordsmanship are now peeling oranges for her, their fingertips still dripping with orange juice.
"You want Ake to go?"
Xiang Zheng nodded to Liang Chongyue without any hesitation.
“If Ake doesn’t go, my original plan will have to be postponed. Actually, Ake has been practicing martial arts at home all these years and can come back from Taihang Mountain at any time.”
Xiang Zheng laid bare her ambitions before His Majesty.
Liang Chongyue deliberately remained silent for a moment, her eyes reflecting only Xiang Zheng's image.
"can."
Upon hearing those two words, Xiang Zheng stuffed the orange in her hand into her mouth.
Liang Chongyue only had one petal in her hand. Looking at Xiang Zheng's mouth, which was stuffed full, she smiled helplessly.
"This isn't sweet enough. I'll get His Majesty a sweeter one."
Xiang Zheng said everything, leaving Liang Chongyue speechless, but she had gotten used to it.
"This is sweet, Your Majesty, please try it."
Liang Chongyue put the first piece that Xiang Zheng handed her into her mouth and didn't find it sour at all.
It's obviously very sweet.
