Song Runuan saw that the old lady's expression didn't seem to want to go deeper, so she didn't mention it again, and instead chatted with the old lady about something else. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for where Song Rulan went, to be honest, it has nothing to do with her, what's the point of caring too much, it's all a group of well-intentioned things that are treated as donkey liver and lungs.

Although talking to the old lady, Song Runuan remembered the secret passage in her room, asked for peace, and stayed for a while before leaving. The old lady wanted to keep Song Runuan for dinner in her yard, but Song Runuan politely refused, "Grandmother, grandson also knows that you feel sorry for me." But if you stay here to eat, I'm afraid that someone will say that you are biased. ”

"Eccentricity is eccentricity!" When Mrs. Song heard Song Runuan say this, her face turned blue with anger, "I feel sorry for my granddaughter, can I still allow others to put her beak?!" ”

"Yes, yes, you naturally don't care, but the Song family cares." Song Runuan immediately coaxed, "Runuan comes to ask her grandmother to say hello every day, and she will talk to her grandmother, rain or shine, okay?" ”

Hearing Song Runuan's words, Mrs. Song calmed down a lot and calmed down, "Who let you stay in the house rain or shine, you should stay in the house when it is windy and rainy, otherwise, what if there is an accident?" ”

Song Runuan showed a sweet smile, put her arm around the old lady, leaned on her shoulder and said coquettishly, "Anyway, I listen to my grandmother!" ”

Back in his small building, Song Runuan entered the inner room and sent everyone out.

I opened the door of the dark room, and then groped into it step by step, and when I opened the last stone door, a secret passage appeared behind it!

Looking at the stone steps of the black hole in front of him, Song Runuan had no intention of going down, and after a glance from a distance, he turned around and returned to the house.

Xia Jin came in at this time, "Miss, dinner has been prepared." ”

"Okay, let's go to dinner." Song Runuan bowed her head and walked out of the inner room with Xia Jin.

Dining is in the flower hall of the side room, and everyone's dining habits are different. Like the old lady's legs and feet are inconvenient, in addition to the family dinner, in addition to the family dinner, her own words, she also eats in the outer room, after all, this does not have to run too far.

Song Rulan and Chen basically ate in their own outer room.

Song Runuan doesn't like it, she still likes to eat far away from her inner room and study.

There are not many dishes on the table, one meat and two vegetables and a cordyceps flower stew, the meat dish is roast duck meat, plus two emerald green side dishes, Song Runuan feels that it looks more appetizing, after all, in such a hot weather, it is really not a simple thing to make people have an appetite.

The rice is steamed with corn kernels and sprinkled with black sesame seeds, which is a bit pleasing to look at.

Song Runuan smiled and praised, "It's hard, I have a heart." ”

"It's the duty of a slave." Xia Jin hurriedly saluted, with respect on her face, but she was excited in her heart.

Miss affirmed her achievements and began to really trust her.

For the future, she is also a little more sure.

Song Runuan at this end is still living her own little life, but there are big things happening in the court over there.

The scorching summer is the flood season. Heavy rains along the Yangtze River in central China have caused the water level to rise rapidly, and several embankments have been overwhelmed and burst. The central part of the country has always been the main grain producing area of Dafeng, and if something goes wrong, not to mention starvation, the grain tax revenue of the state treasury will be a big problem at that time.

The emperor naturally attaches great importance to it, after all, no one can watch their own money decrease.

However, the selection of this Qincha has become a problem, seeing that the princes are all adults, the emperor intends to let the princes go out to experience the experience, so this year's Qincha candidates are planned to be selected among several princes.

The eldest prince is naturally the first person to be elected, but unfortunately, just before the emperor was preparing to draft the decree, the eldest prince's mansion sent someone to report that the eldest prince was suddenly infected with a current disease, and he was bedridden at home, and he couldn't even come to the early dynasty.

The emperor stared at the eldest princess kneeling below, and only after a long time did he wave his hand and say, "I know, you can step down." ”

"Yes." The eldest princess lowered her eyebrows and exited the imperial study, and the maid helped the eldest princess and said, "Master, the slave and maid look at the emperor as if they don't believe it, will this make the emperor ......?"

"This is going to the central part, not to mention the dangerous road, which of those embankments is stable? Whether the emperor believes it or not, anyway, the goal is achieved. The eldest princess looked disdainful.

"Then, will the second prince ......?"

"What about the second prince, it doesn't have much to do with us. If he wants to go, let him go, and if he doesn't want to go, then continue to fight in the palace. "The eldest princess really doesn't matter, she expects that the second prince will definitely not go, after all, no one wants to die.

What's more, the emperor loves the second prince so much, so naturally he doesn't want him to take risks. Isn't the eldest prince the emperor's son?

Thinking about it this way, the eldest princess inevitably has grievances in her heart, because of the emperor's partiality.

At night, the Cao family went to bed, and while changing the emperor's clothes, he said, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that there was a big flood in Zhongzhou, but is it true?" ”

"Yes," the emperor nodded, "I originally planned to order Ren Hongsheng to be the messenger and go to Zhongzhou for me, but this kid ......" The emperor shook his head and didn't say anything more, but his expression was obviously annoyed.

Cao Shi observed the emperor's expression, hooked the corners of his lips to reveal a mocking smile, but quickly pressed it down again, and replaced it with a slightly heavy expression, "Today, the concubine saw Sister Shufei, and when she saw that her sister's face was not very good, she also asked a few more words, it turned out that the eldest prince was infected with a current illness and was bedridden, no wonder my sister has been haggard a lot these days." ”

Seeing that Cao's expression was heavy, it didn't look like he was lying, and he muttered for a moment, "Are you really sick?" ”

"How can this be fake?" The Cao family looked surprised, but then made a reluctant smile, "Even if the eldest prince wants to find a reason, he can't joke with his body, and seeing his sister's appearance, the concubine doesn't think this can be faked." ”

The emperor pondered for a long time and sighed, "Yes." After saying that, he stopped talking and planned to go to bed.

Cao Shi lay down beside the emperor and asked cautiously, "Now that the eldest prince is seriously ill, what ...... Does the emperor plan to let Hongxuan take charge of disaster relief? ”

This time, the emperor didn't reply so quickly, just patted Cao's shoulder and said softly, "Sleep, let me think about it again." ”

The ambiguous sentence made the corners of Cao's mouth hook in the dark.

Sure enough, two days later, the emperor decreed that the third prince, Shen Hongyuan, should be sent to Zhongzhou to take charge of disaster relief.

For a while, the entire court was in an uproar.
