Chapter 932 The Prince Regent's Little Princess 17
As soon as the regent was mentioned, the little emperor immediately glanced nervously at the door.
I don't know whether he was afraid that if Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Cao would arrive, or whether he was afraid of talking about him behind his back and letting someone know about him.
Gu Ruojiao thought it was the latter.
Jiang Li's words can be told to the original body, so she will naturally tell them to the little emperor, in order to make them fear him and get close to her.
So Gu Ruojiao pretended not to see the little emperor's nervousness, and said to herself: "Chaoyan thinks that the regent might actually know how to unlock this Luban box, because he has unlocked the nine-ring lock before."
This sentence immediately drew the little emperor's attention.
Just thinking of the regent's majesty and lukewarm attitude, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
Gu Ruojiao then persuaded her softly: "Your Majesty has some questions, and the Regent should answer them for you."
"But if the regent and the prince scold me for playing with things and losing my mind..."
"The Luban box is a machine box, not an ordinary plaything. Besides..." Gu Ruojiao said, "The regent is not a tutor. If you don't try to know how to know the regent, I won't be willing to answer your questions."
"This..." The little emperor was somewhat convinced.
He really wanted to know how the box was unlocked.
For this reason, I secretly hid the box under the quilt at night, and when I thought of how to solve it, I would take it out and turn it around.
But the little emperor was really afraid of the regent.
Then he begged and coquettishly, asking Gu Ruojiao to help him speak.
"Sister Huang, just do it and help the emperor brother."
Gu Ruojiao couldn't stand people acting coquettishly, so she agreed immediately.
Later, when Rong Tingyun came, he saw the sister and brother sitting precariously. When they saw it, they thought they were exchanging glances without knowing it.
Rong Tingyun: "..."
He twisted his fingers hidden in his sleeves.
He pretended not to know how to sit down and began to check the little emperor's homework.
From the corner of my eye, I saw the two siblings gesticulating back and forth, touching me once and touching you. I don’t know what they were planning.
Rong Tingyun squinted his eyes, closed the question book, and raised his head.
The siblings immediately sat upright.
Rong Tingyun: "Hexi County has suffered from drought for the past two years and there has been no harvest. Winter is coming now. What do you think should be done?"
This is just a temporary question.
The little emperor was unprepared. His scalp suddenly tightened and he stuttered out something he had read in a book but didn't quite understand.
And he looked at Rong Tingyun after saying: "So I think, maybe, the granary should be opened?"
"Opening the granary? Does Your Majesty know how many granaries are in Hexi County and surrounding counties, and how many people are there? If the granaries are opened, how many days can it last?"
Rong Tingyun asked several questions one after another, which directly silenced the little emperor.
"This..." He almost cried when he was asked, and looked at Gu Ruojiao as if asking for help.
But how could Gu Ruojiao, a girl from a boudoir, know this?
But she couldn't ignore the little emperor's request for help, so she bit the bullet and said: "Natural disasters can easily cause people to be displaced. Chaoyan feels that maintaining stability is the first priority... If the surrounding counties don't have enough food, maybe they can borrow money from other counties?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Rong Tingyun looked towards her.
"What if the counties also have insufficient grain reserves in their grain depots?"
Now it was her turn to feel her heart tighten and stutter: "If, if that's the case, maybe we can first get money from the treasury and buy grain from merchants?"
At the end, she subconsciously turned to Rong Tingyun for help, as if he would definitely help her.
Then the two siblings looked at Rong Tingyun, looking extremely well-behaved.
Even if he were a stern old lady, he wouldn't be able to scold these two pairs of innocent and flattering eyes.
