Chapter 174 The problem of food and grass
Lin Qingyan raised her head, her face full of confidence, and her voice was clear and firm: "The problem of food and grass."
Ling Yao narrowed her eyes, staring at Lin Qingyan who was kneeling on the ground. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "Then in your opinion, how should we solve this problem?"
Lin Qingyan seemed to have regained her usual cynical attitude. She smiled and replied, "Oh, there are so many ways to solve this problem! It just depends on what you plan to do, mother-in-law. Haha, it's getting late, mother-in-law. If I don't go back, Nian Xiao will probably be waiting anxiously." She yawned in the middle of the conversation, and then she stood up and prepared to leave.
Ling Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Go down."
"Yes." Lin Qingyan responded nonchalantly, then walked out of the room in a nonchalant manner.
Looking at her retreating figure, Ling Yao couldn't help but feel a little worried. Is she really capable of doing this? She even dared to say that it depends on how she does it...Okay, then let's see how she will perform when I get her a chance.
"Nianxiao Nianxiao, I'm back!" Lin Qingyan shouted happily, and jumped back to Ling Nianxiao's room like a happy little bird.
When she walked into the room, she found that Ling Nianxiao had already fallen asleep quietly. Lin Qingyan immediately lowered her footsteps, fearing that she would wake him up. She carefully closed the door, then went to wash up quietly, trying not to make any noise.
After washing up, she walked lightly to the bed and lay down gently, occupying the position Ling Nianxiao had specially left for her. When she lay down, she saw Ling Nianxiao lying on his side with his back to her.
She carefully turned sideways and put her hand on Ling Nianxiao's waist. At this moment, she felt Ling Nianxiao's body tremble slightly, so she pulled a little harder and pressed herself against his back.
Oh, it's so cool! Like a big ice cube, so comfortable. She raised her head, gently kissed Ling Nianxiao's delicate cheek, and then lay back down.
She quietly immersed herself in the faint body fragrance emanating from Ling Nianxiao. This unique scent made her feel extremely safe and happy.
Not long after, Lin Qingyan gradually fell into a sweet dream, enjoying the peaceful night with Ling Nianxiao.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. At the morning court, the ministers respectfully reported government affairs to the emperor, and the scene was very busy.
When the morning court session was over and everyone was leaving the court, there was one person standing there quietly, motionless, as eye-catching as a sculpture. This person was Ling Yao.
The newly appointed Minister of Revenue, Shen Xiulan, noticed Ling Yao's unusual behavior, walked up to her curiously, and asked softly, "Prime Minister, why don't you leave with everyone else?"
Ling Yao's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, and with a faint smile on her lips, she replied, "I still have some things to discuss with the Queen, so just wait a moment. You go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiulan nodded, then turned around and left with his other colleagues.
At the same time, Mu Yunsheng, who was in the side hall, heard the eunuch report that Ling Yao had not left yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she asked the eunuch to summon Ling Yao to the side hall.
When Ling Yao stepped into the side hall, she saw Mu Yunsheng concentrating on reading the pile of memorials without even raising his head. Ling Yao stood quietly by the side, waiting for Mu Yunsheng's instructions.
"Tell me something."
In fact, Mu Yunsheng already knew roughly the purpose of the other party's visit. It should be the thing that he entrusted to her yesterday, and now there should be some clues.
"Your Majesty, we have a solution." Ling Yao said.
Mu Yunsheng still didn't look up: "Go ahead."
However, after a long time, no sound came. She slowly put down the memorial in her hand and asked again: "Tell me. What is the solution?"
"I don't know either." Ling Yao answered truthfully.
"Bang." Mu Yunsheng suddenly threw the memorial onto the table with force.
"Are you kidding me?" Her voice was low and serious, and she exuded a vague aura of majesty.
Ling Yao showed no fear: "Strictly speaking, someone did come up with a solution to the problem, but she didn't explain it in detail."
After thinking for a moment, Mu Yunsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "He is your Ling Yao's son-in-law, Lin Qingyan, right?"
Ling Yao nodded: "That's right."
"Call her in." Mu Yunsheng originally thought that she was waiting outside the hall at this time.
Ling Yao replied: "She is not here."
"Tsk, you're just teasing me!" Mu Yunsheng frowned and stared at her with wide eyes.
"She's not here, so why don't you send someone to look for her?" Ling Yao pretended to be indifferent and deliberately ignored the expression on her face.
When the Queen's men arrived at the mansion, Lin Qingyan and Ling Nianxiao were still immersed in their dreams and had not woken up. However, they were soon awakened from their gentle sleep by the men sent by Xiao Ran.
Lin Qingyan knew that the opportunity had come, so she quickly got up and put on her clothes. When she turned around, she gently kissed Ling Nianxiao, who still had a confused look on his face.
"Baby, you should sleep a little longer. When my wife comes back, she will bring you some delicious food." Her tone was full of pampering, as if she was coaxing her son. After saying that, Lin Qingyan left in a hurry, leaving Ling Nianxiao alone in bed, continuing to enjoy the peace and tranquility.
Ling Nianxiao: "......" Who am I and where am I.
Soon Lin Qingyan arrived at the palace and was taken to a side hall.
"I am Lin Qingyan, a commoner, paying my respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Lin Qingyan brushed the non-existent dust off her sleeves and performed the proper salute of a woman.
At this moment, there were only two people in the side hall. One was Mu Yunsheng, who was sitting on the throne and was handling daily tasks.
The other was Ling Yao, who sat next to her and also helped with government affairs.
Lin Qingyan was slightly shocked. It seemed that her good mother-in-law had a higher status than she had imagined.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound above her head. Lin Qingyan did not get up or say a word.
Mu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ling Yao: Your son-in-law is more patient than I thought.
Ling Yao raised the corner of her mouth: That's right, don't you see whose son chose her?
The corner of Mu Yunsheng's mouth twitched.
"Stand up, come up and play a game of chess with me."
As the old saying goes, a person's scheming and planning can be seen from his chess skills. Mu Yunsheng also plans to test Lin Qingyan.
