Chapter 439: Come In, Let’s Talk About “Business”
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the third year of Su Ji’s reign, there was a drought in the northwest, and the people were in dire straits.
She sent a few officials to manage it, but they all returned with no success.
Su Ji had a terrible headache. She wrote letters to her best friend to rant about it.
She gave her a suggestion.
She said that the officials were not motivated because the rewards were not enough, so she asked Su Ji to increase the rewards.
The next morning, Su Ji informed all the officials that whoever could solve this problem could ask for any reward from her. As long as it’s in her power to do so, she would not go back on her word.
The officials looked at each other. This reward was indeed good, but the drought in the northwest was so severe that they dared not take on the task rashly.
In the high hall, the beauty behind the beaded curtain clicked her tongue. Seeing that the soft approach did not work, she wanted to use force. Then, at this moment, Prince Huai stood out.
Not only did he accept the decree, but he also set a deadline for himself. “I’ll solve the drought problem in the northwest before winter. ”
There was only one condition, and that was that Su Ji must keep her promise.
The court was in an uproar.
Su Ji smiled and said that if he was afraid that she would go back on her word, he could tell her in advance what reward he wanted from her. With the civil and military officials as witnesses, he would be at ease.
However, Prince Huai shook his head and said that he would tell her when he came back. He even said it was something that Su Ji could give him as long as she agreed.
Prince Huai went to the northwest.
A month later, news spread that Prince Huai was in charge of a large project.
Back then, Su Ji received the blueprint. The idea of diverting water from the south to the north was ingenious.
The South-to-North Piping Project was definitely nothing like the one in modern times, but it was still a great idea.
Su Ji also mentioned it in her letter to her friend and did not shy away from praising Prince Huai.
She remembered that her friend had once lived in Prince Huai’s residence, so she asked her what kind of person he was.
She wrote a long letter of about 1,000 words to describe Prince Huai’s character to su Ji.
Su Ji only had one thought after reading it.
Could it be that her friend liked Prince Huai?
Otherwise, how could she know him so well?
And every sentence was a compliment?
Su Ji asked her about it in the reply.
However, her friend never replied to her again.
Later, before winter arrived, Prince Huai successfully resolved the drought problem and returned triumphantly.
Su Ji summoned him and asked him what reward he wanted.
Even if he wanted her power, she would agree without blinking, as long as he didn’t take the gold in her vault.
The night was quiet, and there was only Su Ji and Prince Huai in the huge palace.
Prince Huai’s eyes, which were hidden under the mask, were as dark as ink. Unfortunately, just as he was about to speak, the soldiers outside the door reported that the army had invaded the border!
The reward for Prince Huai was put on hold. Later on, the kingdom was besieged on all sides, and the battle became more and more intense. Even Su Ji personally led her troops to fight.
Prince Huai helped her drive away the barbarians. When the war ended, he would ask for rewards from her.
When he returned to see Su Ji again, it was already too late…
[ “CEO Pei is amazing! My dad said that if water really flows out, the pressure will be quite high. It’s a real skill!” ]
[ “CEO Pei has the strongest brain!” ]
[ “It would be a waste not to have children with such good genes!!” ]
On the deserted island, the guests were still studying Pei Huai’s project.
However, from an angle that the drone did not capture, Pei Huai noticed that Su Ji was lost in thought.
The jade bracelet in her hand was shining brightly.
“Did you think of something?” Pei Huai asked in a low voice.
Su Ji’s gaze slowly shifted to him, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
These were memories that didn’t mean much in the past, but somehow she was affected by them now.
And the way Prince Huai looked at her during Wang Yun’s celebration party..
She seemed to know what kind of reward Prince Huai wanted from her.
For some unknown reason, Su Ji asked Pei Huai, “what reward do you want for contributing?
Pei Huai smiled and mouthed a word.
“You.” su Ji:
She looked at the bamboo pipes, which looked like a miniature version of the Northwest Project.
She was a little confused.
Previously, she felt that Pei Huai was like the reincarnation of her best friend. But now, she actually felt that Pei Huai was like…
After a while, Su Ji lowered her head dejectedly.
What a scumbag!
How could she be so trashy?
She must have inherited it from Su Cunyi!
In the darkness, Su Ji remembered that Pei Huai didn’t have a bed. There was too much work today, and she really didn’t have time to add an extra bed for
nlm.
She pointed at the men’s bed, “squeeze a little tonight…”
Wang Yi patted the space beside him and teased, “Huaihuai, come to me. ‘ Sleeping with Pei Huai felt like sleeping with a cold immortal being.
Su Ji knew that Pei Huai had never slept with anyone other than her, so he definitely wasn’t used to it. However, she couldn’t let him sleep at the women’s side either….
At this moment, Pei Huai took out the stack of vacuum bags from his suitcase. He took out the largest one and handed it to Orphie. Then, he asked her to lay it out.
Casar:
Who was he ordering around? Orphie was his maid!
No one could order her around except him!
The next second, Orphie replied with a red face, “yes, sir!”
Casar: ‘
The bag was opened, and it became several times bigger after the air entered.
It didn’t contain clothes, but a…portable tent!
Orphie quickly set up Pei Huai’s tent. Beside the two large bunks in the camp, a dazzling golden tent stood!
Not only could the tent shelter him from the wind and rain, but he also had his private space.
[ “The guests who are sleeping in the common bunk are crying!” ] [ “So big! How luxurious! It seems to be a two-person tent!” ] “Can’t you bring a few more?” Casar said resentfully.
Pei Huai replied lightly, “it won’t fit.”
Casar: ‘
Bullsh*t
Orphie left the tent. “Sir, I’ve put your luggage in. Do you need me to help you unpack?”
“No need, thank you,” Pei Huai nodded at her. Then, under the envious gazes of the guests, he entered the tent. Just as the others thought that he was going to zip up and rest, his gaze landed on Su Ji. “Come in, we have some business to discuss.. ‘
