Hua Qingxue looked at Li Jingnan and then at Fu Tingye. For a moment, both men looked strange.
Perhaps this is a subtle political trade-off between those at the top and those at the bottom.
Although Fu Tingye made a decisive decision, such an approach could completely allow Li Jingnan to kill his nine tribes.
But Li Jingnan actually chose to be patient. Although he was adapting to the situation, he had more helplessness.
Hua Qingxue sighed secretly, stretched out her hand to pull off a piece of fabric from her clothes, and carefully bandaged Li Jingnan's wound: "This is the only thing we can do now. When we go back later, we can put some wine on it to disinfect it."
"Okay." Li Jingnan nodded.
Hua Qingxue reached out and held his hands, wanting to comfort him, but then she realized that Li Jingnan's palms were cold and had no warmth at all.
I couldn't help but feel more pity in my heart.
"What is this?" Li Jingnan's eyes fell on the baggage beside him, seemingly changing the subject unintentionally, but actually he didn't want Hua Qingxue to worry anymore.
Some emotions are bound to be too sensitive and are better hidden.
"That's the School of Science admissions flyer that Liang Wensheng prepared for me. What do you think of it, Your Majesty?" Hua Qingxue's attention quickly shifted, and she became excited as soon as she mentioned the School of Science.
Li Jingnan looked serious, with a smile on his lips: "Not bad, not limited to men and women. Anyone who is interested in joining can sign up. The quota is 50, and admission will be based on merit."
"Yeah." Hua Qingxue nodded: "You don't accept girls in your orthodox teaching. This is actually a waste of resources. In fact, many girls are as smart and creative as boys, like the Iron Lady, Mrs. Thatcher, and There is Marie Curie... where we are, she is famous all over the world."
Li Jingnan raised his eyebrows: "Madam? What a weird name, why have I never heard of it?"
"Uh..." Hua Qingxue came to her senses and quickly changed her mind: "It's not important, it's not important. Anyway, as long as girls are well trained, they can be very powerful."
Li Jingnan rolled his eyes at her and did not dwell too much on the previous question: "Just like you, she is also a very powerful girl... person."
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Am I not a girl?"
"You..." Li Jingnan looked up and down with disgust, and looked in the direction of Fu Tingye with a vague look in his eyes: "I know very well whether you are a girl or not."
"This... you little devil!" Hua Qingxue understood instantly, her white face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to cover Li Jingnan's mouth: "That's not possible! Absolutely not!"
What I said was a bit against my will. Well, it was only once, and it wasn’t complete. Count it with your hands...
"Mrs. Si Bing, do we still need to go higher?" Xiaodouzi suddenly interrupted the two of them: "Why do I feel that we are about to fly out of Shengjing?"
"Ah? Damn it, damn it, I forgot about this." Hua Qingxue hurried over to adjust. Just then, she was busy chatting with Li Jingnan, letting Xiaodouzi take care of the fire. They had already risen to the troposphere, and were blown away by the monsoon. original direction.
She quickly adjusted and lowered the altitude, and the hot air balloon finally returned to the correct direction.
The people in Shengjing City became excited and noisy early in the morning because they saw the hot air balloon. Until now, the streets and alleys were still talking about it. Unexpectedly, everyone discovered that the hot air balloon was back.
Not only are they back, there are two more people on top.
Suddenly, another round of commotion boiled over.
"Li Jingnan, look at how much your people love hot air balloons." Hua Qingxue shouted to Li Jingnan with a smile.
Li Jingnan smiled at her, still letting Xiaodouzi act as a human bench, and stood up to take a look. Sure enough, under the morning sun, the entire Shengjing City was in full view. People came to the streets one after another, looking up at them, and everyone's face was filled with joy. With excitement and excitement.
Seeing that he was happy, Hua Qingxue couldn't help but remind her: "Be careful, don't stretch your body out too much. This is an altitude of a thousand meters? If you fall, I can only use a broom to sweep it up." .”
Li Jingnan turned back and glared at her: "What kind of metaphor are you talking about? Why does it sound weird?"
"Your Majesty, what Mrs. Si Bing means is that you... no, no, if any of us falls, we will be smashed to pieces." Xiaodouzi answered volubly below.
Li Jingnan kicked him in frustration: "I told you to talk too much."
"I know my mistake." Xiaodouzi felt extremely aggrieved.
While taking care of the fuel, Hua Qingxue looked at him. The corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy. She almost wanted to hum a song in joy, but what happened to the sudden cold air next to her.
She turned her head in surprise and met a pair of cold eyes, with a smile frozen on her face for a moment.
"General... what's going on?" Hua Qingxue stiffened and deepened the smile on her face, pretending that she didn't understand anything.
Fu Tingye narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at her, turned around and gave her a big hug on his back.
Are you angry? Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Could it be that... the general is jealous
Hehe, who asked you to do that to Li Jingnan, let me let you be jealous for a while.
Hua Qingxue had to admit that after seeing Li Jingnan, the balance in her heart naturally tilted towards Li Jingnan.
"Your Majesty, I will start to lower the altitude now so that the hot air balloon can approach Suzaku Avenue. Then let's send the leaflets down, shall we?"
Li Jingnan got off Xiaodouzi's back and nodded: "Okay."
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Just as they were preparing to distribute leaflets, the sound of thousands of people coming together to pay homage suddenly came from below.
Hua Qingxue couldn't believe her ears. She came to the edge of the railing and took a look. Wow... it was so spectacular.
The people on the entire Zhuque Avenue, including the people in the alleys inside, as long as they were within sight, all knelt on the ground and bowed to them.
"Hey, the people below are so far away. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to see the people on top of the hot air balloon. And ordinary people have never seen Long Yan in their lives. How do they know that Li Jingnan is up there?" Hua Qingxue expressed confusion. .
Xiaodouzi also nodded and found that what Mrs. Si Bing said was very reasonable.
"People don't know it, but there are always people who know it." Fu Tingye found that he could finally insert a sentence, which was not easy.
Ever since this annoying Li Jingnan came up, Hua Qingxue and him had been immersed in the world of two people for a long time. Her husband-to-be... was really helpless.
"Huh?" Hua Qingxue followed Fu Tingye's gaze and saw that there were not only common people on the street, but also several officials wearing official attire. It turned out that they recognized the emperor.
"The Prime Minister Zuo is also on the street." Li Jingnan's sharp eyes immediately discovered that the old figure among the officials was not the Prime Minister Zuo.
"Everyone, please lie down. There is no need to be polite. I am here to experience this new invention, the hot air balloon, with Mrs. Si Bing." Li Jingnan loudly ordered everyone to get up, and by the way, he wanted to learn about the name of such a huge creature.
"Hot air balloon." The common people talked to each other: "It's another new invention of Si Bing's wife."
"Mrs. Si Bing is so powerful. With Mrs. Si Bing here, why worry that our country of Qi will not become stronger."
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Si Bing is great!"
Hua Qingxue felt happy after listening to the people's praises. She took the opportunity to distribute the enrollment flyer: "Everyone, take a look. This is the enrollment brochure of our School of Science. If you have children of the right age at home, you can send them here for study and training. , the purpose of our School of Science is that if young people are strong, Qi will be strong!"
The people below were almost moved to tears, deeply shocked by Hua Qingxue's slogan.
"If young people are strong, Qi will be strong! Mrs. Si Bing has Qi in her heart and cares about Qi. She is really a blessing to Qi and good news to the people!"
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Si Bing descended from Sirius and was sent by God to assist our country of Qi. This is God's will, God's will..."
Everyone praised it, and the next moment they rushed to grab the enrollment flyer. The literate people helped others read out the content on it. Everyone was even more happy and excited when they heard that girls could also be sent to study.
Almost every household is preparing to send their children there. Being able to study with Mrs. Si Bing will immediately become an honor that will shine on the eighteen generations of our ancestors.
The left prime minister and several officials were not just strolling around, but they chased the hot air balloon out when they spotted it early in the morning.
But he didn't want to see something even more incredible, Fu Tingye actually brought the emperor out. For a moment, it was unknown what happened in the palace. Whether the queen mother took the initiative to release the young emperor, or was forced... leads to speculation.
"Master Zuo Xiang, now Fu Tingye and Si Bing's wife Hua Qingxue have all the glory, but they can't cover up the fact that they coerced and kidnapped the emperor!" An official whispered beside Zuo Xiang.
Another civil servant next to the Prime Minister also actively reconsidered: "Yes, Prime Minister Zuo, let's play Fu Tingye tomorrow morning. What he did was so blatant, and he didn't take the court and the Queen Mother seriously at all."
Prime Minister Zuo watched coldly as the emperor and Hua Qingxue distributed the enrollment flyers for the School of Science without saying a word, as if he had not heard the advice of his colleagues.
After a long time, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked back to his house.
The few remaining people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Soon, several people still chased after him and asked persistently: "Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Zuo, can you give us an idea?"
These people were personally promoted by the left prime minister for many years, and they can be said to be close confidants.
It's just that Zuo Xiang doesn't know that after training them for so many years, they are still as stupid as donkeys, and he is extremely disappointed in his heart.
"Prime Minister Zuo, are we all wrong?" One of the civil servants was impatient and unwilling to wait for the Prime Minister's reply.
Prime Minister Zuo glanced at him and then stopped: "You keep saying that Fu Tingye held the emperor hostage, but which eye saw the emperor being held hostage? If the emperor was held hostage, millions of people here didn't see it, but just a few of you saw it?"
"This..." Several people turned red when asked by Zuo Xiang.
It is true that holding the emperor hostage was the crime they wanted to impose on Fu Tingye, but this crime was so far-fetched that it had no basis at all.
