Chapter 333
Chapter 333
Qin En couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and subconsciously covered her red cheeks with her hands. Queen Qin gently pinched her cute little face, her eyes full of doting and love, and she understood why others always pinched her face when she was a child - it turned out that children's faces were so soft and smooth to the touch!
Everyone cooperated very well. Before long, the whole place was cleaned up and spotless. Fu Yuan and Yue Xin were still busy sorting out the piles of gifts, the number of which was simply jaw-dropping.
"My dear, I think our storeroom may not be able to hold so many things! Why don't I go and clear out a room in the dormitory where the students used to live to store these gifts tomorrow?"
Yue Xin frowned as he checked the remaining items. Indeed, the warehouse was already filled with various duplicate gifts, and the space was really limited.
"Let's distribute the rest to the people in the alley!" The person who spoke smiled as he looked at the piles of dazzling items in front of him, then turned around and said to the person next to him.
"Come and take a look. Is there anything you like in here? You can pick one first. This way you won't have to move things around."
Fu Yuan looked in the direction the other party pointed, and saw that among the pile of items, many were priceless. If it were in the past, with his status and position, he would probably be terrified to even touch them, let alone accept them.
However, in recent years, due to the frequent need to clean up the warehouse, such situations have occurred from time to time. Only those objects that can be called truly rare treasures are qualified to be stored in the warehouse for safekeeping; and although these are also expensive, they are really not worth mentioning compared with the treasures in the warehouse.
Fu Yuan pointed at a few of the items and said, "These were sent by the Crown Princess herself. There is still room for them in the storeroom, so it's better to put them in there."
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to it. After all, since it involved something belonging to the royal family, everyone naturally dared not take it lightly. Yue Xin looked at it carefully and nodded slightly, indicating his approval. He pointed to an empty space in the corner and said, "Then put it here for the time being."
After finishing the arrangements, Yue Xin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Oh my, I'm really exhausted after working all day today! I'd better go back to my room and rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around, and after walking a few steps, he gently twisted his neck, making a few crisp joint sounds, as if he wanted to relieve his physical fatigue. Then he straightened his arms, stretched them upwards as hard as he could, and yawned loudly, as if to release all his sleepiness.
Yue Xin thought that it was finally his turn today, so he quickened his pace. He hurried back to the house, looking forward to what was to come.
However, when he opened the door, he found Qin Xingfu sleeping quietly on the bed. Yue Xin tried to make his footsteps as light as possible and walked to the bedside carefully, fearing that he would wake up his lover who was sleeping soundly.
After entering the room, Yue Xin first stood there quietly, gazing at Qin Xingfu's sweet sleeping face. After a while, he tiptoed to the bathroom, ready to take a bath to relax his body and mind. The warm water wrapped around his body, making him feel extremely comfortable and cozy. After bathing, Yue Xin quietly returned to the bedroom in loose pajamas and gently lay down beside Qin Xingfu.
Perhaps she sensed Yue Xin's arrival, and Qin Xingfu, who was originally half asleep, opened her eyes slightly. When she saw that the person in front of her was Yue Xin, a happy smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then, she stretched out her hands and hugged Yue Xin's waist tightly, burying her head deeply in his broad chest, like a boat looking for a warm harbor.
Seeing this, Yue Xin quickly patted Qin Xingfu's back with her gentle palms, and whispered some comforting words, just like coaxing a young child. Gradually, in this warm atmosphere, Yue Xin unconsciously closed his eyes and fell into a sweet dream.
At the same time, in the distant palace, Fusu had just finished a busy day of government affairs and dragged his tired body back to the palace to rest. Although his movements were as gentle as possible, the sensitive Queen Yan still woke up from her sleep.
"Your Majesty, you just came back. Are you tired?" Queen Yan asked with concern, and took the initiative to move to the side to make room for Fusu in the seat that had just been warmed up.
Fusu looked at Queen Yan with gratitude, then slowly lay down, stretched out his hands and hugged Queen Yan tightly in his arms. He gently rested his chin on the top of Queen Yan's head, feeling the slight coolness brought by her soft hair, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.
"It's still not as good as when I was young. Now I feel very tired. I want Qingque to succeed me so that we can spend more time together."
"Qingque is still too young. Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. He will have to work hard for another two years. He is having a hard time handling the things he has on hand now."
Everyone only sees how glorious that position is, but it is actually not easy to do. Even if you are a king who maintains the status quo, you have to take into account the interests of others. Every move will affect the interests of millions of people. Queen Yan's eyes are full of distress, and she feels that her husband and son are having a hard time.
"Qingque has grown faster than me. Zongzheng and his men have become more and more complacent in the past two years. Qingque handled the situation very well today."
"Huh? What happened?"
Queen Yan was no longer sleepy and wanted to hear the details.
"There is an uncle of my clan. He is a little confused because of his age. He wants to get involved in the Science City. The Science City has been making more and more money in the past two years. You know, most of the money here goes into our warehouse. I also strongly supported it in the early stage. We spent so much money in the early stage. They were unwilling to invest when Huiyuan proposed. Now they want to reap the benefits. Qingque refused at that time..."
In the past, those people often tried to deceive him, saying that Qin Xingfu abused his power for personal gain and that he must have embezzled money because of such huge expenses. They asked him to investigate thoroughly, but he firmly refused, and some of the money was paid out of Qin Xingfu's own pocket.
Queen Yan didn't like the people from those clans very much. In her mind, they were all a group of people who forgot their principles when they were only interested in profit. There were very few people like Qin Xingfu who were wholeheartedly contributing to the Qin Dynasty. But she couldn't get rid of these blood-sucking bugs.
"It's time to take good care of Zongzheng. He has been restless these years. Sigh... it would be great if everyone in Daqin was like Huiyuan."
Fusu lowered his eyes, his tone full of appreciation and vigilance.
"Huiyuan alone is enough to defeat thousands of troops. If there are more of them, I'm afraid we won't have the final say in this world."
Queen Yan knew what Fusu meant, thought about it and smiled.
"You are becoming more and more like your father."
Her suspicion grew stronger and stronger. After being married for many years, she seemed to be getting more and more tired and understood him less and less.
Fusu held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"After all, he is my father's biological child, so I have to consider a lot. I am tired, let's go to sleep!"
