The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
103. Lu Jing Yu Avoiding the Emperor
The long summer happened. In rural areas, the majority of farmers began to complain of difficulty getting water to irrigate their rice fields. If they lift the water from a distant river, they cannot. Eventually they could only accept the situation. It has also been reported to the palace for them to come up with a solution. But just like in previous years, the court would send the soldiers to help with their work and and send food.
But such a solution is not a long-term solution. After some time the soldiers will also be pulled back.
By the time the farmers began to resign, the waterwheel built at Heaven Lake was finally completed after spending a month making. But the results obtained did not disappoint. The waterwheel that Lu Jing Yu designed was very effective to help with the work of the workers on the plantation. This news soon spread throughout the capital. They went back to talk about Lu Jing Yu's unexpected abilities. The hope of the farmers is back.
They began to find out what is needed to make a waterwheel that apparently does not cost much because most are made of wood and bamboo that are still widely grown around.
The making of this waterwheel eventually became an example for building other waterwheels in large rivers for irrigation purposes. Xin Mo Yan and Xin Mo Yin as well as the workers who helped started to build one by one waterwheels in the villages. They used the same design after obtaining permission from Lu Jing Yu. With the existence of waterwheels, crop failure caused by drought can finally be minimized. Everyone praised Lu Jing Yu.
But this news only spread among the people. The troops had also retreated and had no idea what the citizens were doing. Palace officials only knew that the citizens made strange tools to irrigate their rice fields without knowing the story behind the creation of a waterwheel.

"Would you go there?" Pei Qin Yang asked Zhu Man Xie who asked permission to go to the palace to meet with queen Zhu.
"Mommy's been in a bad heart lately. I'll play sittar to make him happy." Zhu Man Xie replied while showing sittar being carried by his servant behind.
"Xie'er I hope you know your limits." Pei Qin Yang squinted his eyes. They have been fighting a lot lately. In addition to the matter of the concubine sent by the queen mother, Zhu Man Xie's ambition did not begin to look to make Pei Qin Yang feel uncomfortable. He has no desire to join the throne.
"What else can I do? If Your Majesty is willing to act I won't have to work hard either." Zhu Man Xie quickly flipped his body and walked with the servant behind him without heeding Pei Qin Yang's warning.
Pei Qin Yang looked at the back of Zhu Man Xie whom he was no longer able to recognize in these few months with nanar.
Time goes by quickly without feeling. Everything he saw in the past gradually disappeared and was replaced with a new one. The innocent Zhu Man Xie whom he married four months ago is in fact no longer seen at this time. Right now he did not even feel comfortable being by Zhu Man Xie's side. The wife he loved with all his soul. Even if it was during his schedule to come and spend the night with this perilous wife, he no longer had the urge to touch her and more often left Zhu Man Xie sleeping alone.
In order to maintain peace, she was forced to ask her concubines to drink a decoction to prevent them from conceiving her child before she became pregnant with Zhu Man Xie. Otherwise, with Zhu Man Xie's current nature, he was certain that Zhu Man Xie would not hesitate to obliterate his baby that was conceived by another woman. The peaceful future he hoped he would live with Zhu Man Xie, that innocent beautiful girl could only be an impossible dream to come true.
"What is it that His Majesty breathes heavily this early in the morning?" A beautiful woman sat in front of Pei Qin Yang. It was Mei Ling Ling. Wrong or concubine Pei Qin Yang. "Ling Ling is here, if there's anything that bothers the mind Your Majesty can tell Ling." Continue with a spoiled tone.
"It's okay. Get ready tonight. I'll see you."
"This is a blessing for Ling Ling. But Your Majesty, what if the Empress gets angry later? Shouldn't tonight be His Majesty with the Empress."
After Pei Zhong Min was sent to the border, Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi's life could be said to be going well. The content of Lu Jing Yu who already looked big made PEI Zhang Xi even more fond of him. It was not only Pei Zhang Xi who poured affection on Lu Jing Yu but also concubine Su who often sent aunt Gu to visit.
Ever since Lu Jing Yu found out that Pei Zhang Xi was punished with a board punch by the Emperor that caused Pei Zhang Xi to not be able to get out of bed for one week and only be able to walk normally after one moon, he still could not forgive his father-in-law and refused to meet. Even when the date was five that he should have come to salute, he always made excuses not to meet with the Emperor.
Today Lu Jing Yu went to the palace to meet concubine Su but again did not want to see the Emperor. Lu Jing Yu said that her stomach was a little uncomfortable and wanted to go home and rest as Eunuch Song told Lu Jing Yu that the Emperor called out to her.
"Huh! This couple is so arrogant." Pei An Long threw the cup in his hand upon hearing Eunuch Song's report. Eunuch Song who sensed Pei An Long's anger peaking couldn't do anything. It had been these three months that Lu Jing Yu had always avoided Pei An Long on purpose. If it was someone else then that person would have long since died.
"Did he want me to go see him and apologize? Who are they, huh?"
"Empress Rui has indeed gone too far with His Majesty." The voice of the woman who added oil to the fire was full of hatred.
"The Queen is pregnant. He has a temperament that's hard to guess." The emperor said calmly. It was very different from her who had just been angry.
"That's what makes Empress Rui even bolder. His Majesty spoils him too much. Look, Your Majesty can still defend him even though he just rejected His Majesty's call."
"There is no need to discuss this issue anymore. What's the queen here?"
Queen Zhu snorted in annoyance. But he could not fight him sitting in front of Pei An Long blatantly.
"There has been no celebration in the palace for a long time. What if we have a banquet?"
"Do you not remember that this was a long summer and the citizens. Forgetit. Then prepare a big banquet at the palace. Make sure everyone comes."
