In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the festival of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty was closer to modern times than that of Beixin. www.biquge.info On this day, the common people will go out to see the lanterns and eat glutinous rice and sesame cakes.

Miao Zhi had already received another letter from Shuang Ningshi, and for nearly half a month, Yinan was busy hoarding food and loading trucks.

Miao Zhi did not take the liberty to tell Yuan Hongxuan the news, and only waited until the envoy of Yinan entered Beijing on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before she confessed the whole story.

"Zhi'er, how can you do this?" Yuan Hongxuan was a little angry, and he was very dissatisfied with Miao Zhi's assertion.

"Tell me, what did you ask your mother to ask for so readily did she agree to borrow food from TECO? Isn't it... Did she tell you to leave me? For this topic, Yuan Hongxuan was very sensitive in his heart, he stepped forward and vigorously took Miao Zhi into his arms.

"No, I didn't agree to any conditions, she is my mother after all, and she doesn't want to see me suffer in Dongyuan, that's why I'm so happy! You just have to rest assured to take it, don't worry about anything else, now the people of TECO are the first, Hongxuan, what do you say? A smile appeared on Miao Zhi's delicate pink cheeks, and her plain white hands covered the corners of the man's forehead, and her eyes were deep.

How could Yuan Hongxuan, such a shrewd person, be Miao Zhi who could be easily fooled by these words, he knew that he couldn't get the answer he wanted here in Miao Zhi, so he didn't open his mouth anymore and hugged her tightly.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Yinan ask to see you." Wang Fu stood outside the Moon Observatory Hall with his head down, and reported in a low voice.

"Got it, I'll be there right away. Let them wait for a moment in the council hall of the Xuande Hall. ”

"Let's go, after seeing the envoys of Yinan, I will distribute this grain they brought earlier to the hardest-hit places!" Miao Zhi raised her head from his arms, spoke softly, and looked at the handsome man in front of her with a smile.

Yuan Hongxuan nodded, and then flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the moon platform.

The answer that I can't get from Zhi'er will be clear after seeing the envoy of Yinan later.

In the political hall of the Xuande Palace, as soon as the little palace maid serving tea came out, several little eunuchs swarmed up.

"Caiyue, who's in there? Do you see it clearly? Why are there a few men in this envoy who still have scarves around their faces, and the gods are chattering, are they like this? ”

"Don't mention it, I didn't even dare to look up when I went to serve tea, let alone look at the appearance of the envoy. Don't talk about it here, the emperor should come in a while. If Wang Gonggong knows, it will inevitably be another punishment. The maid of the tea palace stopped talking, and only turned around and went to the pantry to make tea for Yuan Hongxuan.

After a short time, Yuan Hongxuan opened the curtain and entered, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that only one person was sitting in the hall, and the rest were standing respectfully with their heads bowed to the side, while the only person who was sitting had a fast face towel on his face.

Yuan Hongxuan couldn't help frowning, the suspicion in his eyes flashed, and then he walked quickly to the table and sat down.

"All the envoys are seated!" His gaze swept over the faces of the people below one by one, and he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

As soon as his words landed, the only person sitting turned his head and whispered to the few people beside him: "You all go out first, I want to talk to the emperor alone." ”

A few people bowed their heads in response, and they all bowed their heads and went out.

Yuan Hongxuan only watched quietly, not knowing what medicine this mysterious person was selling in the gourd.

The curtain was lowered, and several people went out one after another. The sitting man turned his eyes, and then said lightly towards Yuan Hongxuan: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yuan Hongxuan's pupils suddenly froze, and this voice, he recognized, was Miao Zhi's mother, Shuang Ningshi.

He got up and hurriedly spoke: "Why are you here in person?" ”

Even though Shuang Ningshi strongly objected to Miao Zhi being with her, Yuan Hongxuan still used honorifics at the moment.

Frost didn't feel the slightest surprise, she didn't beat around the bush, and looked straight into his eyes.

"Zhi'er wrote to me, hoping that I would lend me food to TECO to help you through this difficult time. I have already brought the 400,000 quintals in the early stage, and there are still 600,000 quintals on the way, which will arrive soon. ”

This million quintals of grain is undoubtedly the lifesaver of Dong Yuan, but Yuan Hongxuan thinks of these things, he only cares about what kind of price Miao Zhi used to get so much food.

"You won't give so much food to TECO for nothing, will you?" Yuan Hongxuan's tone was a little stiff, and he didn't care about her straight and straight gaze.

Shuang Ningshi looked away and didn't answer, she only picked up the tea cup in her hand, picked up the face towel and took a few sips, and then said slowly: "I plan to give you these grains, but I..." ”

"Nope." Before Shuang Ningshi finished speaking, Yuan Hongxuan refused, "These grains are borrowed by me Dongyuan, and they will be repaid in full in the future." But Miaozhi, I will never let her go back with you! ”

Shuang Ningshi only laughed lightly, then put down the teacup, and replied unhurriedly: "The emperor doesn't need to panic, I, a mother, just want to see my daughter before leaving." ”

In fact, Yuan Hongxuan couldn't ask anything at all in Shuang Ningshi, earlier, Miao Zhi told her that after this incident, she would inform her to pick her up in April this year at the latest.

Such an answer was unexpected by Yuan Hongxuan, his eyes drooped slightly, and the next sentence seemed to be deliberately said to her.

"Soon, I will marry Zhi'er, and I want Zhi'er to be the queen of Dongyuan."

"Oh, really? Then I'm happy for Zhi'er. The corners of Shuang Ningshi's eyes were slightly raised, but there was no trace of joy in her eyes.

"It's not early, it's hard to get on the road all the way, I have ordered the post house to prepare hot water for food, you go back and have a good rest!"

Since Shuang Ningshi didn't want to talk to him frankly, Yuan Hongxuan didn't want to talk about it anymore, even if his tone was very polite, but in the end, there was still some resistance in his heart, after all, she was very opposed to him being with Zhi'er.

The food Yuan Hongxuan brought by Shuang Ningshi and them immediately summoned the courtiers of all ministries and ordered them to quickly distribute it to the hardest-hit areas.

After arranging these, he felt a little exhausted, although the famine had dragged on for about a month, it really gave him a headache as an emperor. The TECO treasury is already stretched thin, and it is time to think about how to fill it, and now we can only pray that the next year will be a good harvest year, so that the people can be fed and clothed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a fireworks festival in the palace, and the palace people had dinner early and waited in the open space in the imperial garden. Miao Zhi didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, so she let the palace people in the moon platform go out for two hours of vacation and let them go out to have fun. (To be continued.) )
