21 Virgin 14
"I haven't seen Mu Xun for a long time, but I've grown so big. ”
"Yes, it's Sister Xian's niece, this looks a bit like a sister's shadow. ”
"The concubine is getting more and more beautiful when she sees Mu Xun, and I think Sister Xian must have been so radiant back then. ”
"My sister can't speak, I said, Sister Xian is also the best harem now. ”
Concubine Xian listened to the compliments a lot, and her heart did not fluctuate, but Feng Muxun was different, she was young, and she was a little fluttery when she heard the praise, but fortunately, she didn't show her thoughts, and praised the concubines while being humble.
Just after a short period of joy, the hall suddenly quieted down, and the eyes of the concubines suddenly shifted to the door, and they all showed amazing expressions, the reaction at this moment was the real reaction they didn't hide, seeing this appearance, Feng Muxun suddenly realized the falsehood when they just complimented themselves.
She turned around in confusion and anger, and the people outside the door were Sui'er and Chen Qinghuan.
Chen Qinghuan carried the light on her back, the light and shadow in front of her flickered, her eyes flowed, and she smiled slightly to say hello to the girls, obviously owing her body, but her figure was neither humble nor arrogant, with a shallow smile on her face, but she had a temperament that rejected people thousands of miles away.
The ladies are very friendly to her, and when they see her, they all care about the current situation, compared to Feng Muxun, who was left out, she seems to have fallen from the clouds to the ground, Chen Qinghuan was held by the stars, and she was forgotten.
The two young masters who had just entered the palace next to him had not seen Chen Qinghuan yet, and they had only seen it for the first time, and it was only now that they came back to their senses, "This person from the Western Regions is really different from us, I thought I was already very beautiful, but I didn't expect that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world." ”
Chen Qinghuan was talking about the left and right, Feng Muxun pinched her nails into her palms to calm down, she gritted her teeth, squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to say hello, "I've seen the princess, I've seen the county lord Qinghuan." ”
"Mu Xun, are you here too?" Sui'er was a little surprised, and she was very happy when she grabbed her hand.
Feng Muxun nodded and said, "My aunt asked me to come, and I haven't been in the palace to look for you for a long time, thinking that I just want to catch up with you today." ”
"Okay, you'll sit next to me in a moment. Sui'er pulled her to the front, but Feng Muxun stopped, looking embarrassed: "The county lord ......"
Sui'er held Chen Qinghuan with her other hand, "What's this, you sit on my left, you sit on my right." After saying that, leading the two to sit down, Feng Muxun smiled gently at Chen Qinghuan through Sui'er, and Chen Qinghuan only felt a chill.
A room of beauties of warblers and swallows, finally came to the man, Yan Xiaolun and Yan Shanying met at the door, so they entered the hall together, and the eyes of the two looked for a figure at the same time, and finally fell on Chen Qinghuan at the same time.
"Sui'er, Qinghuan. Shanying walked quickly, and when he got closer, he found Feng Muxun next to him, "Muxun." ”
Feng Muxun got up, and his every move was extremely gentle, "Brother Lun, Brother Shanying, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Hmm. Yan Xiaolun said a syllable to say hello, and then naturally sat down next to Chen Qinghuan.
Feng Muchun was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Yan Xiaolun had already sat down, he opened his mouth and wanted to let Brother Shanyin sit next to her, but he didn't expect Yan Shanyin to go to the seat next to Yan Xiaolun, who was farther away from him, and sat down, Feng Muxun was stunned again, clenched the fist in his sleeve, and sat down with a smile.
Sui'er chatted with her about the current situation, but her mind was always on the three people next to her, only to see Xiaolun and Shanying talking and laughing at Chen Qinghuan, Sui'er interjected a few words from time to time, several people were happy, she was like an outsider on the edge. I knew that it would be better to sit next to my aunt, at least I wouldn't be left to dry like now.
As the melodious and light music came out of the musician's hands, almost all the people were seated, and the eunuchs outside the hall spoke loudly, and the emperor and empress appeared together and went to sit down in the middle.
The hall was quiet, and everyone got up and said a New Year's message, and the queen said gently: "You can all speak well, and you can't think about it in the New Year." ”
Yan Xici picked up the wine glass, and the rest of the people immediately raised the wine glass, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have two great happy events in Yanguo, one is that Concubine Shu is happy, and she will add another son to Shu." ”
Speaking of this, everyone tacitly nodded like Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu also touched her stomach and stood up to salute everyone.
Yan Xici paused for a moment, and then said: "There is another good news, it is the good news brought by Shenmutang, Shenmutang has made a new breakthrough in technology, which has been promoted to various factories in Yancheng, and it will be widely used in the lives of the people in the near future, at that time, the industrial technology of my Yanguo will far exceed that of other countries." ”
Yan Xiaolun looked at Chen Qinghuan in surprise when he heard this, he knew that her credit was indispensable, and the joy in his shining eyes couldn't be hidden, the corners of Chen Qinghuan's mouth rose, she didn't speak, but he looked proud.
Yan Xici should still have something to say, because he didn't mention the great hero of Qinghuan County at all, but he didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning this matter again. Chen Qinghuan felt a little strange in his heart.
The musician played the music again, and the palace ladies presented a rich Chinese New Year's Eve meal one by one, when the empress suddenly said: "Double happiness is a great thing, but the concubines also know that Zhuhuai has caused a famine, and the imperial court has distributed a lot of food to help the victims, so although it is Chinese New Year's Eve today, I have not done too much luxurious decoration, and I hope that the sisters in the harem will set an example, so that it can also calm the hearts of the people." ”
"Yes. The concubines agreed.
Yan Xici patted the armrest of the dragon chair, his face was dark, "The queen is reasonable, and she is doing a good job." His complimentary expression looked like he was angry, "Because of this famine, I've been worrying a lot lately. ”
The hall was quiet again, and everyone waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
Originally, the food distributed by the imperial court was enough for the refugees to eat, but most of the people in Wanyun pretended to be refugees to receive relief food, and the officers and soldiers could not distinguish between the people of Wanyun and the real refugees, so they had to distribute food as usual, resulting in insufficient food, and now a group of refugees have starved to death. ”
Such a heavy topic made the originally happy Fengluan Hall a little gloomy and bleak, and the ladies didn't dare to talk nonsense, and they didn't know what to say if they wanted to.
"I asked the ministers to find a way to solve it, but they are stupid and dull one by one, and it is useless at all, so what is the use of me raising them. Yan Xici's tone was flat, but there was a needle hidden in his sentence, "Good win, Xiao Lun, you are my son, you say, is there any way." ”
A cauldron fell from the sky and covered the two of them, Shanying didn't change much on the surface, but he couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat, and Xiao Lun pondered and seriously thought about the solution. Chen Qinghuan looked at Xiao Lun with sharp eyes, only to see that his brows were furrowed, thinking that he must have been stumped by this question, indeed, he couldn't think of how to distinguish between refugees and ordinary people after racking his brains.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the two princes, and no one looked at Chen Qinghuan, so she whispered quietly: "Mix rice with chaff." ”
The voice was very small, and there were only four short words, Yan Xiaolun couldn't hear it clearly, and while pondering what she said, he turned his head slightly to look in her direction.
Chen Qinghuan straightened his body, gently grabbed a handful of candied fruit on the table in front of him, and then threw it into the cup where the wine was poured.
Yan Xiaolun glanced at the wine that fell into the candied fruit, then at the clean wine, and recalled the words that he didn't hear clearly just now, and after a while, it suddenly became clear that it was rice mixed with bran.
If a glass of wine is mixed with candied fruit, it can still be drunk, but the county lord will not drink a glass of wine mixed with candied fruit because he is reluctant to waste a glass of wine. Regardless of how to distinguish between the people, starting with the grain means that the people who have no need to eat and clothe will not receive such food if they mix unclean things into the food, so that the real victims of the disaster can have something to eat.
Yan Xiaolun raised his head and said: "Back to my father, my sons thought that all the rice sent out was mixed with sand or bran, and it was extremely difficult to distinguish between the sand and rice bran in the rice, and ordinary people were not short of food, so naturally they would not grab such food from the refugees." ”
Chen Qinghuan lowered his head and smiled, and gave him a thumbs up under the table. There was an uproar in the hall for a while, and even Yan Xici was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that this problem, which had stumped the ministers, would be solved by Xiao Lun at once.
"Good. Yan Xici slapped the dragon chair twice in a row.
The atmosphere eased instantly, and Concubine Shu was the first to smile: "The third prince is really smart, and he can share the emperor's worries at a young age." ”
Concubine Xian was extremely unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't see it on her face at all, and said with the same smile: "It's time to let Yuanchen, the elder brother, learn from the third prince." ”
Feng Muxun originally looked at Yan Xiaolun with admiration, and immediately lowered his head when he heard his aunt's words.
The queen nodded several times with satisfaction with Yan Xiaolun, and was overjoyed. Xiao Lun secretly looked at Chen Qinghuan for a second, there was gratitude and surprise in his eyes, and a little smugness, Chen Qinghuan smiled bitterly, thinking that only he could understand his unrelated prompts.
"Xiao Lun, what you said is good, since this is the case, I decided to let you go to Wanyun to solve the problem in person, and after you go, teach those officials well, teach them how to be officials, how to do things, and how to solve problems. The last sentence is full of resentment.
Yan Xiaolun got up and knelt down, "The son of the minister received the order, and he will not pay the trust of his father." He just wanted to tell his father that this was a hint given to him by Qing Huan, but he didn't expect his father to give him this task directly.
This topic is over, the hall is lively again, Xiao Lun approached Chen Qinghuan and whispered: "I will tell my father that this is your idea in a while." ”
Chen Qinghuan shook his head, "No need, you can solve the problem well, if the emperor knows that this is not the way you came up with, do you think he will be happy." ”
"I ask you, how did you come up with this?"
Chen Qinghuan smiled mysteriously, "What I see from the book, you don't usually read enough books." ”
Is it still written in the book? Yan Xiaolun touched his head and wanted to speak, Chen Qinghuan took a bite of food and ate it, and stopped talking to him.
After the meal, the palace maids withdrew the meal, re-served snacks and wine, Yan Xici was in a very good mood, and suddenly came to the interest, let the two beauties who had newly entered the palace perform a dance, and the beauties who received the order were very excited, and came to the center of the hall to pose well.
At this time, Concubine Xian had a flash of inspiration and interjected: "Your Majesty, only dancing is not fun, I remember that Mu Xun is very good at the piano, why don't you let her accompany her two sisters to cheer up?"
