Chapter 645: The Noon Sun, Set the Rules
What Daxia needs is a wise monarch.
Otherwise, the people will always be in dire straits.
"Teacher, if you really want to benefit the people of the world, you should sit in a high position and have power in your hands, so that you can do what you want."
These words hit Marquis Wuyang's heart like a heavy hammer.
He doesn't like officialdom, and even less does he like fighting for power.
However, it is also destined that one's words will not be taken seriously.
Thinking about it this way, he is really not as good as Ji Chuhe.
He seemed to live in a fantasy every day, entrusting his hopes to people with whom there was absolutely no hope.
But Ji Chuhe is the complete opposite of her.
She is taking action.
Using your own power to change the world.
Make the world what she imagined it to be!
Compared in this way, the gap between him and Ji Chuhe is huge.
"Teacher, a flat road is always easier to walk on than a mountain road, but a flat road can never lead you to the top of the mountain."
"You are right!" Wuyang Hou nodded in agreement, "Xiaohe, I will go with you on the mountain road you choose!"
Ji Chuhe's expression finally relaxed a little, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Teacher, believe it or not, Daxia will become what you want to see sooner or later."
"I believe it." Marquis Wuyang responded firmly.
……
The day for the Queen Mother to return to the imperial capital was finally set, and it was an auspicious day that the Emperor had the Ministry of Rites carefully select.
The procession of the Empress Dowager back to the capital was also very grand, almost catching up with the Emperor's departure. It seemed that only in this way could she wash away the shame of her leaving the capital in disgrace.
The imperial convoy had already traveled ten miles outside the city.
Chang Ru and her family stood at the city gate to welcome the return of the Queen Mother.
The weather was hot and the sun was shining brightly. After standing for a while, these people could not bear it anymore.
"The Tai*** should be here soon, right? Didn't they say they were already ten miles away an hour ago?" Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Yes, it stands to reason that the carriage cannot be so slow."
"If I keep standing like this, I feel like my face is going to get sunburned."
"I feel my face burning now."
These concubines have always lived a life of luxury and have never suffered such a hardship.
When Chang Ru heard these noises, she sent people to explore the way to find out where the queen was.
She then instructed the nanny beside her, "Go prepare some iced drinks. Don't let these ladies get too hot."
"My queen, the amount of ice we used today has completely exceeded the limit. We can't use up all the ice just to welcome the New Year, right? Summer has just begun, how are we going to get through the rest of the year?"
Chang Ru was a little embarrassed, what the nanny said made sense.
She turned around and glanced at the ladies and young ladies. They were all sweating profusely and waving their fans non-stop.
"My queen, why don't we wait for a while until the scouts come back? What if the Tai*** is not far away?"
"Okay, let's wait a little longer."
Ten miles away from the city gate, the Taiping Army's convoy had already stopped in a shady place to rest.
It's already noon, and Tai*** needs a nap.
Ma Hua was staggering and she couldn't sleep well.
The windows of the carriage where she slept were all open, and cool breezes blew in. She didn't feel any heat at all and felt very comfortable.
On the low table in front of the emperor were various fresh fruits and snacks, ready for the emperor to enjoy at any time.
The people sent by Chang Ru saw this scene from afar and hurried back to report.
When Chang Ru heard the news, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
The Queen Mother clearly knew that she had brought so many people here to greet them, yet she was still stalling for time, not caring at all about these delicate ladies standing in the midday sun!
Being too *** is intentional.
She really treats everyone equally and doesn't take anyone seriously.
Ji Chuhe was also among this group of people, and Mianzhu fanned her vigorously.
"Mianzhu, stop fanning me. Your clothes are all wet. I'm not that hot." Ji Chuhe looked at Mianzhu with concern.
Mianzhu changed his hands, not feeling tired at all, "It's okay, Madam, I'll keep fanning you, it will make you feel a little cooler."
"If you keep fanning me, your arms will break." Ji Chuhe simply snatched the fan away and fanned herself for a while, and asked Mianzhu to get closer to her so that they could fan together.
"Empress, where is the queen?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned around and looked at this person.
It’s Mrs. Cao.
In the folk, the aunt has to call her cousin.
The Queen Mother's niece-in-law.
Cao Jun's wife.
"Madam Cao, maybe it's too hot here in the imperial capital. Mrs. Cao suddenly feels unwell and wants to stop and rest." Chang Ru thought for a moment and responded softly.
"Today's weather is indeed a little hot, but I think there must be other reasons for Tai***'s sudden feeling unwell," Mrs. Cao added.
Everyone thought that Mrs. Cao knew some inside information through her connections, and they all looked at her, waiting for her next words.
"I think it's because of some people. Has everyone forgotten how the Queen Mother left the imperial capital? It's for this reason that the Queen Mother suddenly became unwell." Mrs. Cao stared at Ji Chuhe while speaking.
Everyone then understood what she meant.
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.
However, if the Queen Mother wants to deal with the Crown Prince's wife, she can wait until she returns to the imperial capital.
Why should they suffer together? They didn't offend Tai Xiao like Ji Chuhe did.
"Madam Crown Prince, you have caused so much trouble to everyone." Madam Cao said with a look of resentment.
After being exposed to the sun for so long, everyone was already in a bad mood. After hearing what Mrs. Cao said, they looked at Ji Chuhe with somewhat unfriendly eyes.
They felt that it was Ji Chuhe who caused them to be punished by Tai ***.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Crown Prince's wife go out of the city to welcome the Queen Mother? She can apologize to the Queen Mother, and we won't have to suffer with her." Madam Cao suggested again.
"Madam Cao, maybe the queen has already left. Please wait patiently for a while." Chang Ru was obviously protecting Ji Chuhe.
"Your Majesty, you don't know Taisuke's temper. If she hasn't calmed down, I'm afraid we won't be able to see her even if we wait until dark and sunset." After saying this, Madam Cao rolled her eyes at Ji Chuhe again.
"I also think what Mrs. Cao said makes sense." Someone else echoed.
"Even if the Crown Prince's wife goes to greet the Queen Mother, it may not calm her down. We need to let the Crown Prince's wife sincerely apologize to the Queen Mother. I think that will be effective."
The people around nodded in agreement.
Madam Cao was delighted to see more and more people agreeing with her, and immediately became more aggressive, saying, "I think an apology is not enough. The wife of the Crown Prince should apologize to the Dowager, so as to show the Dowager's sincerity."
