Outside the emperor's palace, Abao was waiting for Li Huang. When he saw Li Huang coming out, he stepped forward with a smile and asked: "Dad, did the emperor agree?"
When Li Huang saw his bright eyes, he knew that he must have other ideas, so he asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Dad is really confused about the style. The palace royals gave out so many valuable things, naturally they want to be favored by the emperor. Did the emperor say anything good that he wants to reward each palace?"
Bao asked with wide round eyes.
Li Huang was startled. He had never thought about this. He only wanted to sell these jewelry. As for how Li Xin could appease the palaces, that was Li Xin's problem.
"Dad, A Bao is very considerate. Just now A Bao asked Eunuch Fu to give each palace a jar of aged wine in the name of the emperor. It is estimated that each palace will send people to express gratitude soon!" A Bao was saying.
Then, I saw people from various palaces coming to the emperor's palace. After a while, Xiao Fuzi chased him out of the palace. When he saw that Li Huang hadn't left, he shouted happily: "Fortunately, Prince, you haven't left the palace yet."
, There is no need for this servant to leave the palace! People from each palace just now said that the wine is good, and the emperor also wants to try it, and asked the prince to send dozens more jars to the palace." [
Li Huang was startled, then agreed. Looking back at A Bao, he saw A Bao's eyes rolling around, with a smile full of success on his face.
Well, even if the emperor was relieved of the siege in this way, since the palaces had rewards, they couldn't say much. He immediately "touched" and "touched" A Bao's head and said: "As expected of a father and son soldier, A Bao did a good job.
, how about you go back and ask your mother to make a cake for you as a reward?"
A Bao shook his little head away in displeasure: "Dad, A Bao is not a child. He can be coaxed by just a cake? Don't default on the wine money!"
"Okay, all the business is done on Daddy's head, what a boy!" Li Huang was stunned, and then he understood what kind of "medicine" Abao bought in his gourd.
"Daddy has plundered so much gold, silver and jewelry from the harem, so this little wine money is nothing!" Abao rolled his eyes.
Li Huangyu said, this kid actually plotted against me, and immediately stepped forward to catch Ah Bao. Ah Bao giggled and ran, chasing after me. From a distance, the playful laughter of the father and son could be heard.
Not far away, Concubine Wu stood outside the palace with her personal nanny, her face was ashen, and she said solemnly: "I didn't expect that these two people would take advantage of me. If Li Huang can really help the emperor solve the drought this time,
The emperor will definitely trust Li Huang extraordinarily, and it will be even harder for Qian'er to ascend to the throne!"
The nanny said in a low voice: "I heard that the reason why the emperor is more tolerant of Chu Yiqing's identity as the former princess is because Chu Yiqing can solve the drought. If the drought can continue, the emperor will be angry, how can he tolerate it?
Chu Yiqing is this remnant of the previous dynasty?"
Concubine Wu's eyes darkened, and she ordered in a low voice: "Go to the palace and ask Jin Teng Jing to come in and see me!"
The grandma responded quickly.
An hour later, in Concubine Wu's Ziyi Pavilion, Prince Qian's adviser Jin Tengjing slowly leaned down to pay tribute to Concubine Wu.
"Counsellor Jin, please calm down. How is Qian'er's mood these days? Is he still calm?" Concubine Wu hurried forward and asked the palace people to sit down, then she asked politely.
"Compared to the past few days, the prince's temper has softened a lot. He only occasionally behaves violently. His eyes, which were originally able to barely see things, have been a bit rough in the past few days, but they have stabilized today. Please don't go too far, Concubine Wu.
Worry!" Jin Tengjing said quickly.
"It's my fault that this child is so restless. If I had found Counselor Jin earlier, Gan'er's eyes might have been able to see, and the treatment wouldn't have been so long and troublesome!" Concubine Wu endured. He couldn't help but sigh.
"The prince's eyes have been delayed for too long, but there is no chance of recovery. As long as the deer king's antlers are ground into powder and the spiritual spring water of the Water Dragon tribe is used as a medicine, there is still a great hope of regaining sight. It's a pity that Jin already obtained the Deer King's Horns three years ago, but the Holy Spring of the Water Dragon Tribe has never been found, so now the prince can only barely see. If he encounters repeated emotions, he will still be unable to see. !" Jin Tengjing said in a low voice.
"It's a pity that I missed Counselor Jin back then, and we only met five years later after we met each other. If Counselor Jin had appeared earlier, I wouldn't have listened to the charlatan's lies and married Qi Yunluo and come back in trouble!" When I think of the Qi family's corruption, The bribery had been investigated by Liu Hu, and Concubine Wu was filled with hatred. The position of the principal concubine was occupied by Qi Yunluo. Even if she married more women, how could a truly powerful woman be willing to succumb to the position of side concubine? Therefore, there are one hundred and eighty concubines and concubines in the mansion, but there is no one like Chu Yiqing who can really help Qian'er!
"Concubine Wu is never too worried. Everything is destined by God. If you go against the will, you will have to pay the price!" Jin Teng lowered his eyes and spoke calmly.
"I don't believe that God has destined Qian'er to live like this for the rest of his life. Counselor Jin, please help me Qian'er!" Concubine Wu looked a little excited.
Jin Tengjing stood up calmly and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to find the holy spring water. Jin received news before that someone knows the whereabouts of the holy spring water. Jin is planning to set off to find it soon!" [
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wu quickly said: "Then thank you to Counselor Jin. If you need anything, Counselor Jin just ask!"
Jin Tengkei smiled slowly.
Concubine Wu naturally knew what Jin Tengjing meant, and quickly asked her nanny to get a tray. The tray contained two large gold ingots, "I'm afraid Jin Tengjing will need a lot of money along the way. This is just a small thing, but also Please accept it, Counselor Kim!"
Jin Tengkei glanced at the gold indifferently, put the gold into his sleeves with an expression on his face, nodded to Concubine Wu, and strode out of the palace gate.
Concubine Wu sighed quietly. She knew that her two hundred taels of gold could not impress Jin Tengjing, but...
"Your Majesty, you have donated all your jewelry. Those two ingots of gold are the only silver in the palace. There is still half a month before the monthly silver is distributed. Your Majesty, everything in the palace has to be taken care of. What's going on? Okay?" Grandma stepped forward and asked worriedly.
"It's all my fault that I fell into the trap of Li Huang and Ah Bao and donated all my jewelry, head and face, otherwise... well, no matter what, Gan'er's eyes are a big deal, I'll just have to figure it out on my own! "While Concubine Wu was talking, she heard a guard outside the palace report that it was Qi Yunluo who wanted to see her.
"What is she here for? Is she here to intercede for her worthless father?" Concubine Wu was irritated and said coldly: "No, let her go back!"
The mammy responded quickly and left the palace. When she saw Qi Yunluo and Li Yan standing outside the palace, she said angrily: "The queen is in a bad mood, the princess should go back, so as not to cause trouble!"
Aunt Jin was just a nun, and she dared to talk to Princess Qian like this. However, Princess Qian was not angry, but she also begged in a low voice: "Aunt Rong is sorry, my family is still in prison now, and they need to be taken care of urgently." , 20,000 taels, 20,000 taels of silver can save the lives of my father and my family, Grandma Rong, please beg my mother-in-law for mercy!"
Aunt Jin became upset when she heard this. Does Qi Yunluo really think that this palace is the treasury? Speaking of which, the women in this palace have the most difficult life. They live by the emperor's preferences. The emperor If you like it, I will reward you more, and your life will naturally be easier. If the emperor doesn't like it, there will be no reward. In addition, which eunuch, eunuch, and maiden in the palace are not willing to take advantage of the inferior? Although Concubine Wu's status is high, because she is in the palace He is not favored here, and the emperor has received few rewards over the years. In addition, Prince Qian has to treat his eyes, see diseases, and take care of the court. This is a small amount of money spent? But this Qi Yunluo can do it at every turn. A few years ago, Concubine Wu came to the palace to ask Concubine Wu for money. Because Concubine Wu believed that Qi Yunluo could bring good luck to King Qian and cure his eyes, she naturally asked for as much money as possible and borrowed as much as possible. Some, occasionally sneaking out of the palace and selling off the items that the emperor had previously rewarded, which satisfied her anyway. In the past few years, after Concubine Wu knew that it was Liu Hu's plan, she couldn't even hate Qi Yunluo in her heart, so she was willing to give him anything. Her money? Now the Qi family is being investigated for corruption and bribery. Concubine Wu is in bad luck at the moment. It is difficult for her to give her money. She immediately said: "Princess, you should go back. This is the palace, but It’s not a bank, the princess only asked for 20,000 taels of silver, and her appetite is too big. To put it bluntly, the princess’s family members are not worth even 200 taels of silver, let alone 20,000 taels of silver!”
Qi Yunluo's face turned pale as she was snatched away by Aunt Jin. She bit her lips and begged in a low voice, but Aunt Jin ignored her and went straight into the palace door, asking the guards to close the palace door.
Qi Yunluo held Li Yan's hand and stood outside the palace gate, looking at the cold palace gate and crying softly.
Li Huang raised some silver and immediately sent a special person to Lucheng to prepare to dredge the river. At the same time, Chu Yiqing was also preparing to go to Lucheng. Firstly, he wanted to seize the time to breed seedlings, and secondly, he was afraid of Bai Niangzi, Bai Yu and others. Hearing the commotion, it caused chaos. As for the matter of renting land, Chu Yiqing left it to Mai Xiang. He ordered fourteen and fifteen to assist him, which gave Mai Xiang a chance to exercise.
Chu Yiqing was going to Lucheng, and Li Huang was now supervising the country, so naturally he couldn't leave. Li Huang was agitated and tried several times to persuade Chu Yiqing to stay in the other garden and leave the seedlings to others to do. If that didn't work, he would send Zhao The wheat was brought from Chu Han, but Chu Yiqing was still worried and agreed to go to Lucheng for only a few days to supervise people to raise the seedlings and then come back. Li Huang reluctantly agreed.
"Don't worry, dad. With A Bao by your side, mom will be safe!" A Bao said, patting his little chest.
Li Huang asked: "Are you going to Lucheng too? Do you want to go and have fun?"
Abao immediately shook his head and said: "Dad is busy with important things and can't take care of my mother, so of course I will take care of my mother on my behalf! Don't worry, dad, Abao will definitely protect my mother and brother!"
Seeing his serious look, Li Huang couldn't help laughing immediately, but after all, he still kept Chu Yiqing's body in mind and said again: "Why isn't Lei Ting back? Things should be almost done!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It really doesn't matter to me. It's been four months now, the fetal image has been stable, and I'm no longer unhappy. I just went to watch them grow seedlings. If the temperature and humidity are not controlled well, it will delay the big thing." Yes, I’ll be back in a few days, don’t worry too much!”
Li Huang could only nod, but secretly decided to finish the things at hand first, and if there was a chance, he would follow him to Lucheng secretly.
The emperor heard that Chu Yiqing was going to Lucheng to supervise the breeding of seedlings. He personally sent the chief imperial physician down to follow Chu Yiqing to Lucheng. He also wanted to hold a banquet for Chu Yiqing in the palace. Chu Yiqing was upset about this kind of situation.
, on the pretext of running out of time, he set off for Lucheng that day, and the emperor had to cancel the banquet. However, this would inevitably leave an arrogant impression.[
From the capital to Lucheng, it would only take three days if we traveled day and night. However, Chu Yiqing was pregnant now. Before leaving, Li Huangqian told Wan Lei Yuan that he could only go in the morning and evening. The weather was hot at noon and at night.
He had to stay and rest at all times, but Chu Yiqing had the season in mind, so he could not obey Li Huang's instructions. After leaving the capital, he ordered Lei Yuan to travel day and night. After several attempts by Abao and Yingrun, Chu Yiqing could not
Fortunately, Chu Yiqing was strong. When he arrived in Lucheng three days later, the imperial doctor checked his pulse and found that he felt no discomfort. Lei Yuan, Yingrun and others were relieved.
Lucheng can also be regarded as Chu Yiqing's second hometown. As soon as he entered Lucheng, he naturally lived in the Chu Mansion. He had no time to reminisce with the Hua family brothers and sisters and Lingdang Niang. Chu Yiqing first found Guo Huai and others. According to the previous
The estimated number of acres allowed him to raise seedlings. When Guo Huai heard that the number was so large, he immediately became worried and said hesitantly: "Madam, this number is really too large. There are not so many rice seeds reserved, and
This greenhouse is not enough..."
Chu Yiqing nodded and said, "I know there are difficulties, but the season waits for no one. You first make use of all the existing rice seeds and greenhouses, and I will figure out a way to do the rest!"
Guo Huai had no choice but to agree and start construction as soon as he got back.
Madam Lingdang made chicken soup and brought it in. She heard the conversation between the two. After Guo Huai left, Madam Lingdang put the chicken soup on the table and said sadly: "Madam, please pay attention to your health. You are two people now.
No better than before!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm in good health. It's just that I was busy raising seedlings when I came back. I forgot to ask you about Hua Qi's marriage."
Lady Lingdang hurriedly said: "It went very smoothly, because the two of them have met before, and they know everything about it. Although it is a little late, my wife has already gone to Magistrate Cheng to inform her, and the Xu family is also a reasonable family.
, and with Madame Bai as your guide, it will naturally go smoothly!”
Chu Yiqing nodded. The marriage he had arranged for Hua Qi was considered a match, so she felt relieved!
While they were talking, the Hua family brothers and sisters heard that Chu Yiqing had finished his work and hurriedly came to see him.
After some time passed, Hua Qi seemed to have grown a lot taller. Because he had reached the age of development, he had a light beard at the corner of his mouth. Hua Lin also became more and more beautiful, but Chu Yiqing was still so lively.
Regardless, he stepped forward to hug Chu Yiqing, but was quickly pulled away by the bell girl.
"Lin'er, Madam has a baby in her belly now. You can't be so rash. You must be more careful in the future!" Lady Ling Dang said quickly.
Hua Lin didn’t understand what it meant, so Ling Dang’s wife whispered in her ear and explained it, and then she shouted in surprise: “Aunt Chu, are you going to have a little brother? It would be great, if I could have another baby like A Bao.
Just the exact same little brother!"
Hua Qi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why, you don't dare to bully A Bao, but you still want to bully your little brother?"
Hua Lin's thoughts were suddenly exposed by Hua Qi, and he couldn't help but blush and said: "Brother always helps others bully me!"
Hua Qi smiled slowly and said, "Aunt Chu is not an outsider!"
Chu Yiqing was in a good mood when he saw them bickering, so he asked: "Qi'er, how are you doing with your reading?"
Hua Qi quickly bowed respectfully and said, "The reading went quite smoothly. I wonder if Aunt Chu still remembers Master Yan?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Remember, this is Master Yan who is your matchmaker, right? I remember he said that he opened an academy in the capital!"
Hua Qi nodded quickly and said: "Master Yan runs Tianque Academy, and almost every year the number one scholar comes from Master Yan's academy. A few days ago, Master Yan wrote a letter saying that he wanted me to go to the academy to study. I was hesitating in my heart.
, just in time Aunt Chu comes back, let’s help Qi’er come up with an idea!”
Chu Yiqing said with a smile: "You are already engaged, and you are not a child. You will naturally make your own decisions about future matters. But I think it would be good for you to go to the capital to study. Next year will be the election year. Go and make friends with people in the city early."
No matter how good a scholar is!"
Hua Qi quickly saluted and said: "Thank you Aunt Chu for the tip, Qi'er is going to the capital now. Qi'er heard that Aunt Chu has returned to the palace with the prince, so Qi'er went to the capital so that he can keep company with Aunt Chu!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "That's good, it also saves me from being bored there without anyone to talk to!"
"Aunt Chu, I'm going too, I'm going too!" Hua Lin couldn't help shouting, holding on to Chu Yiqing's arm, but his eyes kept glancing at A Bao sitting beside him, "I'm going too
, I will talk to Aunt Chu from now on!"
Chu Yiqing couldn't help laughing, and gently nodded Hua Lin's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can go too, but the capital city is not as good as Chu Han. There are many rules, right and wrong, you want
Just be obedient!"
When Hua Lin thought about being able to be with A Bao again in the future, he immediately nodded happily, how could he care so much!
