Chu Ximo said, but he was afraid that she would not be happy, so he added: "But if you can get your great-aunt to come forward and talk about this, then it will probably work."
Yan Shiqing had really forgotten about Princess Anle. When she suddenly heard Chu Ximo mention it, she suddenly realized: "It's true, I will visit her when I return to Beijing!"
In Yan Shiqing's view, Princess Anle is very wise and an old woman with great wisdom. She looks at problems from a different perspective than people nowadays, and she thinks more profoundly than others, and she also has her status.
If she can be asked to come forward and help speak, then this matter will most likely be done. Besides, she cares so little about Xiao Nian'an, and she certainly can't bear to be taught to be a strict and stereotyped person at a young age.
Furthermore, while she was really thinking about Xiao Nian'an, she was also doing it for Da Chu's good.
Although Chu Ximo had asked Tongshan to prepare the things needed for Qingmu and Xiangtao to get married, Yan Shiqing got up early the next day and took Xiangtao to Pingxi City.
Only halfway, I bumped into Aunt Huo and Shaoyao, who had been running all the way and finally arrived.
Yan Shiqing briefly spoke to Nanny Huo and asked her to go to Tuofeng Town to find Chu Ximo, and then went straight to Pingxi City.
After more than two months of drastic action by Zhai, and with Chu Ximo as his support, Pingxi City was finally at peace.
Without all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, prices have dropped, and people's lives are much easier.
At the same time, because the canals in Jiangzhou and Huaizhou were open to water, they no longer had to worry about running out of water, which deeply stimulated them. As long as they had free time, the people would help dig the canals.
They are all afraid of living without water, and they are also afraid that their Pingxi City will be the next Antelope City.
In fact, it's not just Pingxi City. When Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo returned to Beijing with Nanny Huo and Shaoyao after Xiao Nian'an's second birthday, they passed through towns and villages along the way.
Everyone was very busy, and they were all busy building and digging canals.
I heard that Yaoxian County, which is closest to Jiangzhou, took the lead in digging the canal on that side. The people knelt down and cried and laughed on the day the water was opened. The scene was so spectacular.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 13th, and the group of people arrived in the capital.
During the flood season, Qingyang Prefecture and Wen'an Prefecture, which are the closest to Ningshou Prefecture in Hongwu, saw that Ningshou Prefecture, which had a canal connected with Dachu Huaizhong, was no longer affected by the disaster, and the people's harvest that season was not affected.
, the people in these two places went crazy and braved the heavy rain to dig canals.
Finally, before the rainy season stopped, the rivers and channels in Ningshou Prefecture were connected to each other, thus minimizing the disaster.
However, the rivers in Jiangzhou and Huaizhou have surged, so the people have no worries about running out of water. Therefore, until August, no one has died of thirst, and the paddy fields have increased by more than a thousand acres.
More than a thousand acres of paddy fields may be very small in the country as a whole. Each of the two prefectures only has 500 acres. But for Dachu, which has always had few paddy fields, it is already a lot.
This means that rice can be grown here in the coming year, and the output can be increased like that in Ruanjiakeng. At the same time, the revenue of the treasury will also increase accordingly.
The ministers of the DPRK have been paying close attention to these matters, especially the new emperor Chu Xixuan.
When he learned that Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo were returning to Beijing, he had already sent someone to greet them before they returned home.
In the Yanshou Palace, this was the first time Chu Xixuan saw Xiao Nian'an in the daytime. When he saw the little guy standing obediently next to Yan Shiqing, his eyes instantly softened.
When he proposed to make Xiao Nian'an the crown prince, he actually regarded Xiao Nian'an as his own son in his heart.
Although it is not said to be an adoption, there is actually no difference.
He and Chu Ximo have the same mother, and he cannot have any children, so he is naturally very close to Xiao Nian'an.
Yan Shiqing, Chu Ximo and Xiao Nian An just stood still. When they saw Chu Xixuan's eyes, they understood in their hearts, but they couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as he posed and wanted to say hello, he heard the voices of Chu Xixuan and Empress Dowager Jiang coming from above at the same time: "We are all members of our own family, no need to be polite!"
Yan Shiqing was not a pretentious person. She stood up straight after hearing this, but she also knew that the attention of the two people was on Xiao Nian'an, so she whispered: "Huaijin, the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's uncle send their regards."
!”
Along the way, Aunt Huo and Yan Shiqing taught Xiao Nianan how to greet the Queen Mother and the Emperor after entering the palace.
At this time, when the little guy heard this, he let go of his mother's hand, walked a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a sweet voice: "Greetings to the emperor's grandmother, uncle Huang.
Ann!"yyls
The little guy was only two years old in June. Seeing him kneeling on the ground in a small ball and kowtowing seriously made Empress Dowager Jiang very distressed.
"Great grandson of the Imperial Grandmother, come here quickly and tell the Imperial Grandmother to take a look!"
Empress Dowager Jiang has been looking forward to this grandson for many years.
Now that she finally saw the person and saw him kneeling on the ground, she felt extremely distressed. While she was talking, she didn't need the support of the people around her. She hurriedly walked down a few steps and picked up the little man herself.
Chu Ximo looked at the person in her mother's arms with hot eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just secretly thought that she would give him a good hug when she turned around.
He heard that Huai Jin was extremely intelligent and worthy of being his son-in-law.
The fourth son also gave birth to a son now, but he was not a legitimate child. Moreover, he had gone to see the child and found that the child was really not as clever as Huaijin at first.
Xiao Nian'an obediently let Empress Dowager Jiang hold her, but would look up at her mother from time to time.
Yan Shiqing glanced at Chu Ximo and signaled him to mention to the emperor that Xiao Nian'an was entering the palace after she turned seven. She looked at Yang Lulan who was standing next to Empress Dowager Jiang.
After the emperor and Chu Ximo left, Yang Lulan walked up to Yan Shiqing and said with a smile in her eyes: "Sister Shiqing!"
Yan Shiqing really liked Yang Lulan. Hearing her voice, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You can call me sister now, but what should I call you later?"
Yang Lulan's face turned red, she looked back at Empress Dowager Jiang who was teasing Xiao Nian'an, and said nothing.
Empress Dowager Jiang took the opportunity to say: "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm afraid I have something to say. The Ai family will take Huaijin to the imperial garden for a walk. You will stay here and have a meal together at noon."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and told Nanny Jiang to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more meals, and then left with little Nian'an.
When there were only two people left, Yan Shiqing took Yang Lulan's hand and said: "Sister Lulan, you have thought about it. You really want to marry the emperor as his concubine. Even if the emperor is sterile, you will not be able to have any children in your life."
Heir?"
When Yang Lulan heard this, her eyes were firm and she said: "I know what I want. Sister Shiqing, you don't have to worry about me. The emperor and I truly love each other. As for the heirs, it doesn't matter. What's more, even if the emperor can have children, my body is
