73. Chapter 73
"Mu Congjin, I'm not full, you give me buns to eat."
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
On the way to escort Mu Congjin's team, they rested in a hayfield, and Xiao Gao went to a nearby village to buy food, Xiao Gao bought a bun of buns according to the head, because he thought that Qian Luojin was a dignified young lady, and her body was small, and she only bought a vegetable bun for her because of the lack of food, so she had the above dialogue.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth has a really good temper, did you hear it, the Sixth Imperial Concubine still called His Royal Highness the Sixth by his name, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was not angry." Mr. Da Gao and Xiao Gao muttered about the husband and wife relationship between Congjin and Qian Luojin.
Xiao Gao took a bite of the meat bun in his mouth, and his eyes were obsessed: "Yes, if my future lady is as good as His Royal Highness the Sixth, give me all the buns." β
Da Gao glared at Xiao Gao: "Look at your appearance!" β
However, as a high-risk profession, although Yu Linwei is a civil servant with an iron rice bowl, he is rarely able to marry a wife.
"Mr. Wei, why do I feel that the farther south I go, the colder it gets?" Qian Luojin asked, and her junior high school geography teacher taught her that the further south she went, the warmer it should be.
Wei Zongbing had an expression of "what nonsense are you talking about": "The sixth princess laughed, of course, the farther south you go, the colder it gets, and when you get to Lingnan, I'm afraid that there will be snow everywhere." β
Qian Luojin closed her mouth, okay, they should live in the southern hemisphere.
Qian Luojin went all the way to the south, but Xie Mengxi went all the way to the north. Just after the autumn harvest, winter is coming, it should be the time for the people to store food for the cat winter, but Xie Mengxi saw groups of people displaced, their land or natural disasters no one cares, or the newly harvested grain was forcibly requisitioned as military food, compared to the small group of homeless people outside the city, there are countless homeless people here, and the further north you go, the more sad it is.
Xie Mengxi asked the magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain with a gold-lettered official talisman, but in more places, even the official warehouse was empty.
This country is so empty, Xie Mengxi can only be described as shocked in her heart, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, if she only listened to other people's descriptions, she would never believe that this country, leaving the rich land of Duzhong City, Jingzhou and Weiling, was actually a state of defeat, and the people were not living well.
Fortunately, this trip, Xie Mengxi came prepared, in addition to the subordinates and guards, she also hired a group of experienced farmers and craftsmen
Answer: Xie San.
Although Xie Mengxi is a woman, the people who received the help are grateful for Xie Mengxi's kindness, and they all respectfully call her "Xie Sanren." β
The name of the three Xie people spread all the way, and those who saw her knew that it was a young girl with a white veil and a light body, and she had never seen her, but she only heard this name and thought that she was a son on her career.
"Thank you for the three people, open the granary quickly, thank you for the three people, everyone has a home!"
There are also good deeds who make up a slip, and the children at the head and end of the village will sing songs and listen to the adults tell the deeds of the three great people.
Because she has to help the people along the road, she has to keep her promise to depict his "magnificent" rivers and mountains for the emperor, and she has to chant two poems to cultivate her sentiments in her spare time.
Even the people in Luozhou began to chant the name "Xie San".
"Do you think that Xie Sanren will come to our Luozhou?"
"If the three Xie people go all the way north, they will definitely come to us."
"Are you stupid and don't allow people to turn around? Do you have to go straight? β
"The three Xie people are all homeless, the prince is wise, we don't lack food or clothing here, Xie Sanren will definitely not come."
"Alas, it's a pity, I still want to see each other, I don't know if this Xie Sanren has married a wife, it just so happens that my daughter is still single......"
"Ahh
β¦β¦
Mu Yuanheng, the prince of Luozhou, who was in Luozhou, naturally also heard of the reputation of Xie Sangongzi.
Duzhong and his party, let Mu Yuanheng be reborn, originally heard that Mu Yuanheng was coming back, the people of Luozhou were in a panic, burning incense, worshipping God, closing their own pigs, cats, cats and dogs, and their children were tied to the house with hemp rope, and they almost put a seal on their door.
However, when Mu Yuanheng came back this time, he didn't do anything or make trouble, as if he was a different person, and the people of Luozhou privately said that the prince must have been possessed by the wild ghosts in Duzhong City.
Mu Yuanheng not only stopped bullying men and women, but also had the idea of benefiting the people.
The king of Luozhou is a good prince, diligent and loves the people, plus Luozhou's own natural conditions are excellent, although Luozhou is located in the far north, it has been built into a rich and stable place, Mu Yuanheng has lived in Luozhou since he was a child, and was held in the palm of his hand by his mother and the eighteen sisters above, if it weren't for the fact that he went to Duzhong and passed through many places this time, he didn't know that not all the people in the world are as happy as the people of Luozhou.
In order to help the homeless people outside the city settle down, the two of them want to teach the homeless people the craft of survival, where will the two sons and young ladies know how to understand the craft, thanks to Xie Erye leaving Xie Mengxi with a room full of books, all kinds of books, everything. Until now, Mu Yuanheng can't forget the scene of the two leaning on the thick trunk of the tree under the shade of the tree and flipping the book together.
I can't forget what Xie Mengxi said to him before parting.
"Be a good prince, if you are famous, I will hear it."
This sentence is the power of Mu Yuanheng's transformation, he himself feels that he has successfully reversed his image in the hearts of the people of Luozhou, and the people love him more and more, it is time to pass on his virtuous reputation to Xie Mengxi, right? Mu Yuanheng is still too naΓ―ve, the people of Luozhou live and work in Luozhou, who will go out? Mu Yuanheng's reputation can only be said locally in Luozhou.
Mu Yuanheng's own reputation can't be spread, but there is a person named Xie San who has spread his fame to his territory, Mu Yuanheng is not convinced with a capital letter, I don't know how many noses and eyes this person named Xie San has, is he handsome or cute? But one thing is certain, this Xie San is more famous than him, Mu Yuanheng is very unhappy, if this Xie San first spreads the reputation into Xie Mengxi's ears...... No, if this Xie San really dares to come to Luozhou, he will definitely be finished with "him".
It seems that Mu Congjinxuan's new route successfully avoided the ambush of the second prince, and it was safe and sound along the way.
With the funding of Qian Luojin, everyone eats the most expensive restaurant at every meal and sleeps in the most expensive inn at night, which is very happy, but unfortunately they don't dare to talk about it in front of the princess, otherwise these Yulin guards still want to visit the most expensive green house. It's just that there are gains and losses, and while getting material enjoyment, these single dogs have to watch the prince and the princess show affection every day, which is called spiritual dedication.
Xiao Gao has to muttered to Da Gao every day: "Da Gao, do you think I can marry a girl as virtuous as His Royal Highness the Sixth?" β
Xiao Gao said without thinking, "No." β
"Da Gao, I think you are very annoying."
"Why bother, I don't want to lie to you."
The further south you go, the colder it gets, especially when the south wind blows, the blades are the same, and the sour and refreshing ...... Of course, Qian Luojin, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't feel it.
Originally, it was already pitiful to be a single dog, and the Yulin guards who followed outside the carriage were going to be frozen into dogs, so Xiao Gao had the courage to discuss with Qian Luojin: "Princess, can you buy a carriage for us to sit in?" β
Wei Zongbing slammed an iron fist on the back of Xiao Gao's head: "You kid goes out without brains, let's also sit in the carriage, what if the assassin comes?" β
Da Gao was also shivering: "This is almost to Yuzhou, how can there be assassins." β
Qian Luojin also pitied them for not being easy, opened the curtain and said to Wei Zongbing: "Wei Zongbing, is there a village nearby?" β
"Yes, there's a town of Dongba further on."
"Okay, don't rush today, go there and rest, and then let the town slaughter a sheep, and invite everyone to eat stewed mutton to warm their stomachs."
The Yulin guards cheered, Qian Luojin is the goddess in their hearts, but unfortunately there are too few people, otherwise Qian Luojin's dream of establishing a women's republic may really come true.
Dongba Town is a remote small village and town, and there are only three sheep in the town, and two of them were eaten by Qian Luojin.
"Wouldn't it be too cruel for us to do that? plundering the people's rations......" Qian Luojin asked Mu Congjin with an uneasy conscience.
"No, your name is Lao Jun."
No matter what ridiculous things Qian Luojin does, Mu Congjin can find a positive reason, Qian Luojin can't help but think of Mrs. Xie and Xie Yanyuan, and always feels ...... Mu Congjin has a motherly love for her.
In a poor and remote town, there was not even a decent inn, so he had to use the prestige of Prince Mu Congjin to forcibly requisition the big house of the county commander's family, and a bunch of people set up two large pots of stewed mutton in the house, watching the hot white gas coming out of the pot, and a sense of happiness arose.
The identities are different, Qian Luojin and Mu Congjin use a pot alone, and more than 100 people from Yu Linwei are crowded to eat a pot, the scene is very chaotic, one by one grabs meat to eat, but it is also very lively.
Mr. Wei shouted in a rough and loud voice: "Are there any rules!" Lao Tzu eats first! β
"County order, please bring some wine, the soup is not enough to drink, and it is warm to drink some wine."
The county order was so frightened that he trembled, if it weren't for Mu Congjin's genuine royal family gold waist card, he would have thought that his house was occupied by a group of bandits.
"I'm going to help the county order carry the wine." Xiao happily followed the county order, with him, the wine cellar of the county order's house was afraid that it would be emptied.
Xiao Gao and the county order opened the door curtain and walked out of the house, through the gap, Qian Luojin saw the heavy snow outside, white and boundless, there was such a heavy snow here, I am afraid that it is cold in the middle of the city.
"Xie Menghua is pregnant, and I don't know if she has taken good care of her, there is not even an air conditioner here, and just burning coal is not good for her health."
Mu Congjin poked at Qian Luojin's head: "What should I say about you, a cabbage seller who also sells white powder, she is married to the Hou Mansion, can she freeze to death?" β
Qian Luojin covered her head: "I'm still married to the prince's mansion, and I'm not freezing." β
Mu Congjin smiled warmly: "Blame me, if this time is really lucky, I promise to use my life to support you, okay?" β
Qian Luojin also smiled, and was about to reply, when he suddenly saw the rag curtain at the door being lifted, and a bloody hand grabbed the curtain, and then a head poked in, his face was also bloodstained, and the armor of Yu Linwei had been pierced into a hole.
"Xiao Gao!"
Da Gao ran over to help Xiao Gao, but before he could help him, Xiao Gao couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, saying in his mouth: "Assassin...... Assassin ......"
This Yulinwei is well-trained, except for Da Gao who is still trying to restore Xiao Gao to his senses, everyone else is on guard and draws their swords.
Unconsciously, there was already a circle of people in black outside the house, and the people who came were not good, and they all seemed to be practicing their families.
"Protect the Six Princes, the Six Princesses!"
Qian Luojin's hand, which had finally warmed up with the fire, became cold again, and was tightly held by Mu Congjin: "Follow me, don't be afraid." β
Mu Congjin's hands were still warm, but Qian Luojin was still afraid, those people outside the house really wanted their lives.
The group of people outside was obviously sent by the second prince, there were a large number of people, when he decided to go to Lingnan, Mu Congjin knew the danger, not far to the northeast is Wuling, Wuling camp is all surrendered to the Weiguo Mansion, Mu Congjin expected to have this catastrophe, not surprised.
"Go to Litang, someone will answer you." Mu Congjin said to Wei Zongbing.
Wei Zongbing was an old man in the court, and immediately guessed the origin of the man in black, and said to Yu Linwei behind him: "A few of you will protect the prince and the princess to go to Litang first, and the rest will break off with me." β
Qian Luojin couldn't wait to grow four legs, she never wanted to drag her legs, she ran desperately, and she didn't wear too complicated clothes along the way to prevent this situation, only wearing open-bottomed knee-length skirts that were convenient for movement.
The second prince really let go this time, and directly transferred the people from the Wuling military camp, if it was the two princes' own personal guards, they would definitely not be the opponents of the well-trained Yu Linwei, but the Wuling camp is one of the few ever-winning military camps, and they are all brave men who survived with real swords and guns on the battlefield.
Mu Congjin pulled Qian Luojin to retreat in the direction of Litang, while thinking about the strangeness of this matter in his heart, he thought that the second prince would only send the personal guards he cultivated in private, those personal guards were not the opponents of Yulin Wei, he could at least survive to Litang safely, the second prince actually directly dispatched the Wuling military camp, and the emperor was blind? After the lesson of the last time, the second prince must not dare to be so reckless, is it ......
Mu Congjin gritted his teeth, couldn't the emperor do it? Not good, at this juncture!
The emperor's body is getting worse, and Dongliu wants to use the pill to lift the emperor's spirit, but it is useless, and he has taken a few golden pills one after another, except for stimulating the bleeding of the large intestine, there is no other effect.
It is still Concubine Li who is sick, but the queen is the queen after all, and she can't help but let her see the emperor if she wants to see her.
The emperor didn't want to see the queen, so he drove her a few times at first, but she still came over every day, and sometimes the emperor didn't bother to open his mouth to drive her away, so he let her go.
The queen marrying the emperor does not have the legendary sense of "desperate to marry a lover" like Concubine Li, the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, the two of them were right at that time, nothing more.
Change a new hot towel, the medicine should be hot, and the side of the bed will be fragrant with blue pear, because this fragrance smells sweet, the emperor said that it can dispel the bitter taste of the medicine, and the quilt should be lower, the emperor does not like to press the chest, and his hands should be placed outside the quilt...... The queen's movements are fast and in one go, it is not that she will not take care of the emperor, although she has not had the opportunity to take care of the emperor for many years.
The queen is the emperor's first woman, before Concubine Li Guifei married into the palace, but whenever the emperor had a headache and brain fever, the queen was waiting by the side, and she had served many times, these things, the emperor's preferences, she remembered.
The emperor still has his eyes closed, and he is asleep, he didn't deliberately pretend to be asleep, he just didn't bother to open his eyes, anyway, it was the queen who came, and there was nothing to see.
helped the emperor change into a new hot towel, and sat down the queen who was busy with work on the side of the emperor's bed, carefully not pressing the emperor's feet, looking like he wanted to get closer to the emperor but didn't dare to get closer.
It seems that the emperor is really asleep, if the emperor is awake, he will get up and scold her at this time.
He's old.
This is the queen's first impression after carefully looking at the emperor's face, at that time, when she first married into the palace, she also helped him make a hot towel, he was very young at that time, so young that on the night of the wedding, he lifted her hijab and called her "sister".
Now that I think about it, I still want to laugh, how can a husband call his wife his sister, he was too nervous for a while to lose his mouth, but she remembered it for a lifetime.
"Sleep, wake up...... Penis. The queen said and gently patted twice on the emperor's brocade quilt.
After the queen left, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the place that was photographed by the queen just now, those memories had long been dusted in the place he didn't care about the most, full of dust, and he didn't think about it.
It was the second day of the candle night in his cave room, he was really the most useless prince, no wonder his father didn't like him, because he was too nervous in the cave room, he was seriously ill, and the poor queen was at his bedside the day after marrying into the palace.
That's how she was then, patting him gently like a child.
"Sleep, wake up...... Penis. β
The emperor was thinking about it, and the chief eunuch cautiously entered the house: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is here and waiting outside the door." β
Zhang Chengyu, the celebrant of ceremonies, is a close confidant of the emperor and has been responsible for drafting the emperor's secret decree, and the emperor summoned him to draft the holy decree of making the second prince the crown prince.
The chief eunuch waited for a long time, and the emperor did not reply.
"Your Majesty?"
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, let him go back first. β
