All The Bigshots Love Me [Quick Transmigration]

This is not all flattery. These days, watching her teach the Little Emperor to read, watching her quietly encircle the people who serve in the Chongzheng Hall, and then listening to her say this method of water treatment, Lu Xingzhou knew that he had underestimated this Empress Dowager before.

Jiang Rui remained unmoved: “It’s just the wisdom of the predecessors and the public praise. Moreover, this method is simple to say. If it is really implemented, it will require a lot of financial and material resources. This is probably also a problem.”

Lu Xingzhou slowly showed a smile and said meaningfully: “Niangniang has already thought of a way for them. If those wastes can’t be done, the head on top is unnecessary.”

Jiang Rui stopped to say more, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

“Niangniang stay.” Lu Xingzhou stopped her with words, “The day before yesterday, someone gave this minister a clump of coral. The coral was bright in color and good in appearance. The minister felt that only Niangniang was worthy of such treasures and asked Niangniang not to dislike it.”

Not long ago, he said that he would send the Longjing of the Ming Dynasty to Jiang Rui and said something similar. But, Jiang Rui was able to notice the subtle difference. It seems that the contact during this period of time has indeed achieved some results.

She turned her mind and her face did not feel very interested: “Since it is a treasure, it is better for Gonggong to keep it for himself.”

Lu Xingzhou had a smile at the corner of his mouth. His words were soft, but they were faintly revealing that he could not be refused: “I hope Niangniang will give the minister a chance to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha1.”

Jiang Rui frowned slightly, revealing a little annoyance: “Then, please ask Gonggong to take care of himself.” After that, she left Chongzheng Hall.

Lu Xingzhou watched her walk away.

For some reason, in the past, he used to see her being angry, but he only found it interesting. But seeing her annoyed today, he does not seem to be completely happy.

He was out of his mind for a while. When he came to his senses, he asked Sanqi to send the coral to Chang’an Palace.

Jiang Rui returned to Chang’an Palace with her front feet and the corals on her back feet were delivered.

Sanqi was sent it politely and returned to Jiang Rui for greetings before leaving.

Hanyan said strangely: “Niangniang, don’t you think this Sanqi attitude is so strange recently? I have never seen him so polite before.”

Jiang Rui looked at the half-human-tall coral and said casually: “I guess I’ve become familiar with it recently.”

Hanyan was also attracted by the coral and did not have the heart to delve into it, “Do you want to distribute this to the other imperial concubines too?”

“No need.” Jiang Rui said.

She got it all by her abilities and it depends on her mood regardless of her abilities. She is still waiting for the coral to drop some branches to make jewelry.

“It’s great. This coral is so beautiful. If I score points, I can’t bear to take it apart. Niangniang was so generous before. I didn’t see them remember Niangniang well, so Niangniang won’t divide them in the future.”

Jiang Rui smiled and said, “You are a miser.”

Hanyan wrinkled her nose and said: “Really, we didn’t leave all the tea leaves last time, but I see the meaning of the imperial concubine and always suspect that we were hiding them privately. Niangniang, will they not be divided in the future?”

“Well, I’ll listen to you.”

After that, Jiang Rui went to Chongzheng Hall. She was still the same as before, only teaching the Little Emperor to study and did not take the initiative to talk to Lu Xingzhou.

On the contrary, Lu Xingzhou, after listening to her talk about the method of repelling water and attacking sand, occasionally talked to her about the progress of water control.

The two of them spoke more peacefully for a short while, but it did not take long for Jiang Rui to leave in anger.

Sanqi watched from the sidelines and felt that the Governor and Empress Dowager should be getting better.

Except every time the Governor spoke with the Empress Dowager, it ended with the Empress Dowager brushing her sleeves and leaving. Except that every time the Governor gave a good thing to the Empress Dowager, it seemed to be forced to sell. Except for the Governor, when Niangniang taught His Majesty to read, he would say something unpleasant to make people angry.

Well, apart from these, the two should be getting better… right?
