After Yingrun sent Mrs. Xu and her daughter away, she entered the hall and said with a smile: "Madam, you can see it. Mrs. Xu came here to apologize and talk. This time the handsome man returned to the capital, he attracted many young ladies in the capital.
I'm itching, Mrs. Xu is afraid that we will regret our marriage, after all, with our current power, Miss Xu Mansion is quite high-ranking!"
Chu Yiqing said calmly: "Of course I saw it, so I gave her the Dongzhu bracelet to reassure her! Although the Xu family is in decline now, the child Xu Yunxi seems to be gentle and virtuous, and has affection for Qi'er.
, I didn’t look at his family background at the beginning. It is much better than the philistine families in the capital today. Besides, this marriage has been decided a long time ago. A person must keep his word, how can he regret it!"
Yingrun nodded and said with a smile: "Others say outside that Madam kills without blinking an eye. In fact, all the servants in this mansion know that Madam is actually the most kind-hearted. If it were anyone else, who wouldn't be eager to find a good backer!
"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly. She naturally wanted to unite with more powerful people to lay a good foundation for Abao, but she couldn't take advantage of Hua Qi's marriage, which was Hua Qi's lifelong happiness!
Two days later, Mai Xiang came back with the fourteenth, fifteenth and others, and brought news that most of the rivers in the three cities had been dredged. When that day came, Chu Yiqing really couldn't bear it.
Unable to stop, Chu Yiqing took A Bao to the outskirts in person. Seeing the spring water mixed with the river water flowing in, irrigating the dry land, Chu Yiqing felt indescribably happy.[
"Madam, it's hot, please sit down and rest for a while!" Yingrun said quickly, leading Chu Yiqing and Ah Bao to sit in the shade, but Ah Bao couldn't sit still. Today he came out with Yayoi,
The two found a place with rocks, took off their shoes and socks, and started playing in the water.
Because the river was dredged, some young men and young ladies in the city came to watch the fun, but after a while they all got tired of it. Coupled with the hot weather, the number of people gradually became less and less.
"Fifth sister-in-law!" Suddenly, a soft voice sounded. Chu Yiqing turned around and saw Qi Yunluo leading Li Yan and a little maid walking over holding an umbrella, with expressions on her face.
With joy, she said, "I really didn't expect to meet my fifth sister-in-law here. I thought I was being deceived!"
As Qi Yunluo said this, he quickly walked over with Li Yan, stood in front of Chu Yiqing, bowed deeply, and then called Li Yan.
When Chu Yiqing heard her calling him fifth sister-in-law, others thought she was her close sister-in-law. He couldn't help but smile and said, "So it's the god's princess, and the god's princess is also here to join in the fun?"
Chu Yiqing sat there and said calmly without getting up. Qi Yunluo took the opportunity to ask the maid to take out the cushion and sat down. However, she was sitting on a cushion while Chu Yiqing was sitting on a bench. The two of them were close to each other.
, Qi Yunluo seemed to be inferior to others, but he didn't seem to mind at all.
"Stop following me. Look, isn't your brother Yi playing there? You go too. Didn't you say you want to play with your brother Yi?" After Qi Yunluo sat down, he urged Li beside him.
Yan.
Li Yan refused to go, his eyes were darting everywhere, looking restless.
Qi Yunluo smiled sheepishly and whispered something into Li Yan's ear. Li Yan's eyes immediately lit up and he ran towards A Bao.
Qi Yunluo laughed sheepishly again, his forehead was a little flushed, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "I heard that the fifth sister-in-law left the capital a few days ago. She just came back. I thought I would wait.
Fifth sister-in-law will take good care of herself and then go visit her again. I didn’t expect to meet you here today!”
Chu Yiqing didn't believe it was such a coincidence. The river stretched for hundreds of miles, but Qi Yunluo appeared here with Li Yan. Remembering what Qi Yunluo had begged her to do before, Chu Yiqing just said lightly.
Smiling, waiting for Qi Yunluo to reveal her purpose.
When chatting, Chu Yiqing just smiled and said nothing, and Qi Yunluo seemed even more embarrassed. In fact, she was not a sociable person, and she always felt that Chu Yiqing
Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts. Every time she came, she was cautious, for fear of being seen through by Chu Yiqing, so she became even more uncomfortable. But when she thought of her mission, she cheered up again.
His face was once again filled with smiles, and he turned around to see Li Yan, who had also taken off his shoes and socks, sitting across from Yayoi and Abao. He said, "Look, Sister-in-law Five. They are cousins after all. How much fun they have!"
"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Li Yan suddenly became unstable and fell into the ditch. She was startled and stood up quickly. Fortunately, Chu Yiqing came out with his guards, and immediately
A guard went to fish him out.
Li Yan was fished out all wet, his little face turned pale with fright, he pointed at Yayoi and cried, shouting: "It's him, it's him, it's him who pulled me down!"
Qi Yunluo was startled, and quickly looked at Yayoi, but then turned back and scolded Li Yan in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, did you slip down by yourself?"
Yayoi stood next to Po with a tight face, her face was calm, her head lowered, and she didn't speak.
Abao turned to look at Yayoi and asked, "What's going on?"
Just now, he was only looking at a toad on the opposite bank and didn't notice Yayoi's movements.
Yayoi lowered her head tightly and did not answer.[
Chu Yiqing's face became unhappy, and he stepped forward and asked again: "Yayoi, did you do it?"
Yayoi paused, gritting his teeth and saying nothing, his eyes full of stubbornness.
"Fifth sister-in-law, it may have been accidental. Don't blame this child!" Qi Yunluo didn't know Yayoi's identity, but seeing Yayoi dressed well and sitting and playing side by side with Abao, he thought he was from a certain family.
Young Master, afraid of losing Chu Yiqing’s face, said quickly.
Chu Yiqing knew that there must be a reason why Yayoi pulled Li Yan away, but in front of Qi Yunluo, she could not protect a servant, so she immediately ordered Shififu in a stern voice: "Fifteen, take Yayoi back and be careful.
Cross-examine!”
Fifteen took Yayoi away. Only then did Qi Yunluo understand Yayoi's identity. He felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't let it go. He had to take a piece of clothing handed over by Chu Yiqing and put it on Li Yan first, and then
He followed Chu Yiqing's words and took Li Yan to the car to change clothes.
Chu Yiqing was now very heavy and took the imperial doctor with him whenever he went out, so he quickly asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look.
"Mother, Yayoi wouldn't be so imprudent!" Seeing Qi Yunluo and Li Yan leaving, Abao grabbed Chu Yiqing's arm and said, "Don't punish him yet, I'll ask him later!"
Yayoi has been in the capital for a while, practicing with Ade and Abao every day. In addition, he is used to jungle life and his body is flexible, so he has made rapid progress. Today, Yu Xiaoyu, Chi Xuan and others After receiving Abao's instructions, he went outside to look for a shop. Abao then brought Yayoi out, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Chu Yiqing knew that Yayoi would not be such an ignorant person, but why didn't he refute? Li Yan was the only son of the sixth prince after all. If the sixth prince insisted on pursuing this matter, Yayoi might not be able to escape unscathed.
Chu Yiqing saw that Abao cared so much about Yayoi and couldn't bear his sadness, so he whispered: "I know this matter well, you go back first!"
Abao could only nod his head and got into the carriage with Yayoi.
Chu Yiqing frowned and walked quickly to her carriage. She saw that Li Yan had already changed his clothes, but his face was still pale, as if he was afraid of something, and his whole body was still trembling. Qi Yunluo kept He held the child's hand and said comforting words.
Zhang Yun checked Li Yan's pulse and bowed respectfully to Princess Qian. Then he looked back and reported to Chu Yiqing: "Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. I'm just a little frightened. Just drink some soothing soup." Got it!"
Chu Yiqing hurriedly asked Zhang Yun to go back to the mansion to prepare, and then whispered to Princess Qian: "Go to the Prince's Mansion first, don't let the child be frightened!"
Qi Yunluo nodded, turned away and wiped the corners of his eyes. His shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he was full of grievances.
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but frown. She was also a mother. If Abao was raped, she would naturally feel unhappy. But today's matter was really strange. She must ask Yayoi carefully when she goes back.
On the way back, Qi Yunluo kept carrying Chu Yiqing sideways. When he got off the car, his eyes were red. At this time, Chu Yiqing had to say: "Let the child go in and rest first, and have a drink." I’ll ask someone to ask Yayoi about the decoction and medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor!”
Qi Yunluo quickly shook his head and said: "Fifth sister-in-law, no need. Children are playing around, and I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. Yan'er's mother died early, and she has been in poor health since she was a child. She has not been affected by her father. With the royal favor, to be honest, although he has the status of the emperor's grandson, who in this world regards him as the emperor's grandson?"
Seeing that she was going too far, Chu Yiqing knew that she was probably holding her breath in her heart, so he immediately called someone here and asked, "Is there any news from the county prince?"
Just as he was asking, he saw A Bao enter the room, staring at Li Yan coldly, making Li Yan lower his head in fear.
"What, did Yayoi say it?" Chu Yiqing asked coldly. Qi Yunluo said it didn't matter, but he cried and cried all the way. I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go. If Yayoi did this, the Prince's Mansion would probably You must give Qi Yunluo some comfort.
"Mom, Yayoi said it's none of his business. My cousin slipped down accidentally. Maybe he was young and remembered it wrong. Let me ask him!" Abao said with a smile.[
Chu Yiqing nodded and saw Abao step forward and said to Qi Yunluo with a smile: "Sixth Emperor, please go sit over there first and I'll ask my brother!"
After hearing what Abao just said, Qi Yunluo looked a little unhappy. He seemed to have decided in his heart that it was Abao who wanted to excuse Yayoi, but after hesitating, he got up and got out of the way.
Abao sat down next to Li Yan and asked with a smile: "Brother, did you slip down accidentally? Yayoi told me everything, please think about it carefully!"
Li Yan kept his head lowered, as if he was afraid of Abao. After a long time, he suddenly nodded.
When Qi Yunluo saw him nodding, he immediately said angrily: "Tell me clearly what is going on. Don't worry, your mother is here!"
When Qi Yunluo said the last words, she straightened her waist a little. If it was Abao, she would naturally tolerate it and find a way to get more benefits, but Yayoi was just Abao's servant, Li
Even if Yan is no longer favored, he is still the grandson of the emperor, and there is no need to be afraid of a young servant.
Chu Yiqing glanced at Qi Yunluo strangely, couldn't help but smile and said: "Since even Yan'er said that he fell down, then the people on duty around him should be punished. It really shouldn't have happened just now.
Let him approach the river ditch alone. He is still so young, why is there not even a mother-in-law or maid around?"
Qi Yunluo heard the blame in Chu Yiqing's words, his face flushed, he stood up and whispered: "Fifth sister-in-law, since Yan'er is fine, let's not disturb Fifth sister-in-law, and
Please keep the five ships quiet about what happened today. If the prince knows about it..."
Qi Yunluo lowered his head as he spoke, with a look of fear on his face, and hurriedly pulled Li Yan away to go out.
"Let's let Dr. Zhang take a look again. Didn't Yan'er have been weak since she was a child? If something happens again in the future..." Chu Yiqing stopped her.
Qi Yunluo quickly said in a low voice: "It's summer, the water is not cold, and the ditch is not deep. Doctor Zhang just checked it. It's okay. Sister-in-law Five, don't worry! I'll go back first and wait for the change."
Come visit Sister-in-law Five again tomorrow!"
Chu Yiqing asked again: "Princess Qian, are you sure your grandson is fine?"
Qi Yunluo nodded and quickly took Li Yan out.
Chu Yiqing motioned to Yingrun to see him off.
After Yingrun left, Chu Yiqing looked at Abao and said softly: "Tell me, what is going on? Are you trying to excuse Yayoi?"
If Yayoi really did this, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to stay. Chu Yiqing didn't want Abao to always have such a troublemaker around him.
"Mother, do you believe A Bao?" A Bao asked seriously.
Chu Yiqing nodded.
"Then A Bao believes in Yayoi, so does my mother also believe in Yayoi?" A Bao's expression was serious.
Chu Yiqing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Abao then said: "Yayoi didn't have Li Yan, it was Li Yan who wanted me to get down, but Yayoi blocked him and he couldn't sit firmly and fell down by himself!"
Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened, Li Yan wanted Abao to go into the water? Why? The child was so young, it definitely couldn't be his own idea. Could it be Qi Yunluo's idea?
"Mother, Yayoi couldn't tell me the truth at the time, but later she told me everything. Mother, I believe Yayoi!" Abao tightened his face and said, "Mother often said that people in this city are sinister. It turns out it's true. Even Li
Even a young kid like Yan wants to do harm to me!"
Abao actually imitated Chu Yiqing's example and frowned, his face at such a young age full of sadness and anger.
Chu Yiqing stepped forward and hugged A Bao, and then he understood how Li Yan was scared when he saw A Bao, and why Li Yan changed his words in the end. Fortunately, she grasped Qi Yunluo's weakness and said She didn't take good care of him, so he let Li Yan fall into the ditch. She was afraid that Li Qian would be scolded if he knew about it, so she didn't dare to care about it anymore and left in a hurry.
Abao and Yayoi didn't expose Li Yan at that time. This kind of heart and resourcefulness were enough to make Chu Yiqing happy. Chu Yiqing hugged Abao and whispered: "Mother, please remember this matter. One day it will happen." Let these people who want to harm you suffer the consequences!"
Abao nodded and asked again, "Mom, Yayoi is still locked up in the woodshed. Look..."
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Let him out. He is hungry now. Go and bring him something to eat yourself!"
Yayoi has a forbearance that ordinary people don't have. With him by Ah Bao's side, Chu Yiqing will feel more at ease. She will naturally give this opportunity to Ah Bao and let him win over Yayoi.
A Bao nodded happily, clamoring for Xiao Long Bao, and skipped to the kitchen.
As soon as A Bao left, Chu Yiqing told Yingrun: "When I come back later, don't mention what happened today, you know?"
Yingrun hesitated a little and whispered: "Madam, the Concubine Wu sent people to poison Madam and the young master in the mansion, and Qi Yunluo sent a child to harm the young master again. Does Madam just want to let it go?"
"You have been with me for so many years, and your ability to endure is not as good as Yayoi's. Now that I have just come back, your foundation is unstable. This is what happened to Mrs. Cheng last time. If the Cheng family is really executed, it will only make Concubine Wu miserable. It's more fun than Li Qian, so why not let them go, and they will be grateful and can keep it for their own use in the future! We have no evidence about A Bao, and besides, that Li Yan is only a five-year-old child, who would believe it? Will he kill Abao? He can only know it in his heart. To deal with the people in Prince Qian's Mansion, we must seize a big pain point on them so that they will never have a chance to stand up!" Chu Yiqing said coldly.
Yingrun quickly agreed, her face full of shame.
Chu Yiqing looked at her and shook his head slowly. No matter how much Yingrun looked at her, she couldn't compare to Yingqian. Unfortunately, Yingqian was already seven months old and had a big belly. It was now difficult for her to walk. She could only let Yingqian Resting in the backyard, I didn't want to bother her with anything, and let her give birth to the child first.
After the river was dredged, water was diverted from the south to the north, and rice seedlings were soon transported from Lucheng. However, Zhao Maimai did not go back and personally led people to transplant the rice seedlings. With Zhao Maimai here, Chu Yiqing was completely relieved. Later he learned that this was Li Huang's idea made him feel particularly happy.
This rice has always been grown in the Luo Kingdom, and was only planted in Lucheng a few years ago. This year, it was actually grown in the capital, Pingliang, and Lucheng. Especially in a situation like a severe drought, if it can really survive and have a harvest, That was really a miracle. As a result, on the day of transplanting the rice, Emperor Li of Li State could not hold back his curiosity and led all the civil and military officials out of the capital in a mighty manner, heading towards the nearest suburb of the city. He went to a rice field in the country and wanted to see how the rice was grown!

Thank you Qiu Xin and Feifei for their persistence. By the way, here is Xiao Yao’s completed novel "The First Concubine: Your Majesty, You Are Doomed". It is very interesting. It is a pure female strong character. The heroine and
The heroine of Tianyuan is from the same modern organization, but her "personality" is completely different, okay?
