Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Plan Begins

Yu Xuanji was slightly stunned, squirmed her lips, and finally did not make a sound, but took the purse from Xuanyuan Hao's hand, then took out the needle and thread, embroidered it a few times, and handed it to Xuanyuan Hao again: "The color just now was a little monotonous, so it's a lot better." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, he looked at the purse in his hand, and was slightly stunned: "Lotus? ”

"Hmm." Yu Xuanji replied in a low voice, without saying too much.

Xuanyuan Hao's eyes lit up, and the curvature of his lips became bigger and bigger: "I like it!" After a pause, his voice softened, "I'll leave first." ”

In the next second, Xuanyuan Hao disappeared.

Yu Xuanji bit her lip and sighed, the handkerchief in her hand was already full of wrinkles, slightly smoothed, and a lotus flower was embroidered on it......

Yu Xuanji didn't know why she suddenly embroidered a lotus flower on Xuanyuan Hao's purse, the lotus flower was her favorite flower, because she felt that her heart was full of darkness, and the lotus flower was so pure and immaculate, therefore, she liked the lotus flower and envied the lotus flower out of the mud without staining.

Therefore, among Yu Xuanji's items, there are lotus marks.

Sighing deeply, Yu Xuanji only hoped that Xuanyuan Hao didn't know that the lotus flower was her favorite flower, otherwise, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

How could Xuanyuan Hao not know Yu Xuanji's habits?

At this time, Xuanyuan Hao's face couldn't hide it, and when he returned to Wanhualou, he saw that Murong Yu was not as sneering as usual, but walked over, and the bright smile made Murong Yu slightly stunned, and then a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao didn't speak, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Murong Yu became more and more puzzled, and suddenly noticed the purse in Xuanyuan Hao's hand, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but quip: "It's just a purse, or did you ask for it, and you were so happy?" ”

"You won't understand." Xuanyuan Hao sat on the Taishi chair beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip lightly, and let out a satisfied sigh.

After a few days, nothing happened, and Yu Xuanji was also clean for a few days.

"Miss, it's a lot cooler." Bao Yue walked in, holding a cloak in her hand, and carefully put it on for Yu Xuanji, "Summer has finally passed." ”

Yu Xuanji smiled and responded, "Yes, autumn is coming." ”

"Well, in a few days, it will be the day when the second lady will get married, but I heard that the eldest lady of the military department is in very bad health, and she asked for a simple wedding, so that the wedding of the second lady will be much simpler." Baoyue regretted for a while, getting married is a woman's lifelong thing, but it can't be grand, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Yu Xuanji hooked her lips and smiled, she naturally wouldn't care about other people's affairs.

"Miss!" Baoqing hurriedly walked in, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, "Miss, there is a large area of locusts in the north, and the particles are not harvested, hey......"

"Oh?" Yu Xuanji pondered for a while and remembered the day, "It's today." ”

"Miss?" Baoqing and Baoyue glanced at each other, both saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes, and shouted in unison to express the doubts in their hearts.

Yu Xuanji shook her head and looked at Baoqing: "Send a message to the Eighth Prince, you can act!" ”

Baoqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood and left quickly.

On the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chu looked at the people below with anger on his face, and said coldly: "The locusts are menacing, you don't have a way?" ”

"The emperor is angry!" Everyone knelt down.

Emperor Chu was so angry that he couldn't do it, this group of rice buckets knew that it was on paper!

Chu Hongze glanced at everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and slowly walked out; "Father, the sons are willing to take out the grain and dedicate it to the people of the north, hoping to do their best!"

Hearing Chu Hongze's words, Emperor Chu's face softened a lot, and he nodded: "Well, you have a heart." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver tickets to buy grain and transport it to the north!"

"The minister is also willing!"

"The minister is willing!"

The crown prince and the others also expressed their meanings, but Chu Yuze stood in place, frowning as if thinking about something.

"Eighth brother, ...... you" Chu Hongze glanced at Chu Yuze and said lightly, "Now that the people in the north are infested by locusts, shouldn't the eighth brother also do a little bit?" ”

Chu Yuze raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chu: "Father, the sons and daughters don't have much savings, they are really ashamed, and the food is only enough for the people in the palace to eat......"

"Humph!" Chu Zhaonan snorted disdainfully, "Eighth brother, it's not right for you to say that, we don't have much food and silver in our hands, and we are just trying to find a way to help the victims, and the eighth brother is too impersonal and cold-blooded!" ”

Chu Hongze's lips hooked up a hint of a smile, and he also said: "Eighth brother, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people like this?" ”

"Brother Eldest Emperor, Brother Third Emperor, I didn't mean that." Chu Yuze seemed to be very embarrassed, his thin lips pursed into a line, looked at Emperor Chu, saw that there was no displeasure on Emperor Chu's face, and said slowly, "Father, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings rewarded by the emperor in the son's mansion, and the son-in-law is willing to auction ......."

"Auction?" A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Chu's eyes, "What is an auction?" ”

"The so-called auction is bidding, whoever pays the highest price can buy this item, this is also the fastest way for the son to think of to raise silver, and I hope my father will forgive me!" As he spoke, Chu Yuze lifted his robe and knelt down, his face full of guilt and self-blame.

Chu Zhaonan snorted disdainfully, standing aside and raising his head proudly.

Chu Hongze frowned, he always felt that Chu Yuze's appearance was too abnormal, and then he looked at Emperor Chu, but saw a smile on his face, and suddenly, he understood that the secret way was not good, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"The emperor doesn't have to be polite, get up!" Emperor Chu said lightly, but everyone present could hear the relief in Emperor Chu's tone, "I have counted all the money I gave you, it turns out that all the Qing family saves a lot on weekdays, otherwise they would not have taken out so much silver at once." ”

Then he looked at Chu Hongze, and his tone became more and more cold: "Hongze also knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and he actually knows how to hoard food!" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Chu Hongze quickly knelt down, his palms were full of sweat, hoarding food and saying that it was nothing, but if the emperor mistook him for any rebellion, the consequences would ...... Thinking of this, Chu Hongze hit a spirit.

"Get up, forgive me for not daring!" Emperor Chu snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Chu Hongze hurriedly got up, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The ministers all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to make a sound, but Chu Yuze was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly sighed that Yu Xuanji had touched his father's character clearly!

The look in his eyes turned slightly, and Chu Yuze arched his hand and said: "Father, since the locust plague has always existed, we must find a way to eliminate it, and we can't let it plague the people again!" ”

"That's what the emperor said!" A hint of appreciation flashed in Emperor Chu's eyes, and then he looked at everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, who can solve my doubts?" ”

After hearing Emperor Chu's words, everyone's heads drooped more and more, and Emperor Chu's eyes crossed a trace of displeasure, and he snorted coldly: "Tomorrow I will definitely know the solution!" Retreat! Emperor Chu was furious, and left with a pair of long sleeves.

"Congratulations to the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

After Emperor Chu's figure completely disappeared, everyone slowly got up, with a trace of sadness on their faces.

"Lord Yu, what can you do?" A minister walked up to Yu Zhiyuan and asked flatteringly.

Yu Zhiyuan frowned, and his heart was also very anxious, but his face was calm, and he said lightly: "I don't have a good way, after all, I am a military attachΓ©, if you say that it is nothing to let me go on the field to kill the enemy, these things, I don't understand, I don't understand!" ”

"Hey, how is this good, if you can't think of a way tomorrow, maybe the emperor will be angry!" When the minister heard this, he shook his head, very helpless.

The other ministers around Yu Zhiyuan also showed sad expressions.

Chu Hongze walked out behind Chu Zhaonan, and when he saw Chu Yuze on the side, he smiled coldly and sneered: "Eighth brother is really prescient!" ”

"Oh? What did the Third Emperor Brother say? Chu Yuze stopped, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked slowly.

"The eighth brother knows it!" Chu Hongze said coldly.

Chu Yuze also put away his smile and said slowly: "If it weren't for the Three Emperor Brothers' eagerness to show themselves in front of their father, they wouldn't have been able to ride a tiger, but the Three Emperor Brothers' food is really a lot, could it be said that the people in the Three Emperors' Mansion are particularly edible?" After speaking, without waiting for Chu Yuze to answer, he arched his hand towards Chu Zhaonan, "Brother Emperor, I'll go first." ”

Looking at Chu Yuze's back, Chu Hongze's face instantly darkened.

Chu Zhaonan said disappreliantly: "What are you arguing with him?" ”

"The eighth brother's mind is really gloomy." Chu Hongze said lightly, and then looked at Chu Zhaonan, "What can the eldest brother do?" ”

Chu Zhaonan shook his head, glanced around, and frowned slightly: "Fifth brother?" ”

Chu Hongze lowered his eyes and said slowly: "The fifth brother has gone to the toilet." ”

"Well, forget it, let's go drink, let's go!" A trace of boredom flashed in Chu Zhaonan's eyes, and he pulled Chu Hongze to walk towards the flower building, Chu Hongze's eyes flashed a trace of disgust, but his expression was still respectful, "Brother Emperor, I won't go, my father will naturally not embarrass you if he likes you, but I'm different, I still have to go back to find a good way to get rid of locusts." ”

"Don't worry, if your father wants to blame you, this prince will naturally speak for you!" Chu Zhaonan said disappreciatively, patting his chest, as if he was very righteous.

Chu Hongze immediately showed a grateful look: "Thank you, eldest brother, even so, I have to prepare to avoid what the eighth brother calculates." ”

"It's fine." Chu Zhaonan nodded, "That prince left first." As he spoke, he strode out.

Chu Hongze looked at Chu Zhaonan's back, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and his eyes were full of disgust, he Chu Zhaonan was just a little better-born, besides, what else could compare to himself!

Unwilling, too unwilling!

Chu Hongze clenched his fists tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

Chu Ruize pulled his pants, came out of the toilet, saw Chu Hongze's back, showed a smile on his face, walked over quickly, just took Chu Hongze's unwilling gaze into his eyes, and looked at Chu Hongze's gaze with a "groan" in his heart, saw his brother's figure, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

When he looked up again, he regained his old hippie smile again, and walked over with a smile: "Why is the third emperor brother still here?" What about the eldest brother? As he spoke, he looked around, as if he was really looking for Chu Zhaonan.

Chu Hongze restrained his feelings and said with a smile: "The eldest brother went out to drink, is the fifth brother going?" ”

"Forget it, I'd better go back and make up for sleep, the third emperor brother is at his disposal!" Chu Ruize said and yawned and left.
