Chapter 278: Guangyang City Chapter 6

"I said this during the day because of the situation, but what about tonight?" It seemed that they were going to talk for a while, so Elegy simply sat down next to the boy and sat shoulder to shoulder with him, which made the boy suddenly embarrassed.

His gaze dodged, looking cramped, "Gong...... Princess, how can you sit on the floor with someone like me? ”

"Do you feel out of place?" The elegy said the central meaning of the boy's intentions, she put her hands on her knees, half-propped her head with her hands, and looked at the little boy's dirty face, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." ”

"Ji Ye." The boy replied.

Elegy's eyes widened slightly, Ji Ye said a name that she didn't expect at all, and thought that the boy would call Shenma Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi and something like that, but I didn't expect it to be quite normal, "The name is very nice." ”

"This is what my father and mother asked the fortune teller to give me, Ye has a bright meaning, probably hoping that I will be a positive person."

"In that case, you should be a fair and honest person in the future, as your parents expected."

I don't want to, as soon as these words came out, Ji Ye's eyes darkened, although his father's wish was very good, it was a pity that what he had done since he was a child was the opposite of this name, and he didn't know if they would be angry again.

"Princess, why are you being so nice to me?" The boy changed the subject, he didn't want to dwell on his name.

"Well, I guess I feel like I'm sympathetic when I see you." Elegy looked at him and whispered.

"Huh? Your parents are dead too?! Ji Ye looked at her in surprise, but was rewarded with a fist by Elegy. The boy suddenly burst into tears of pain, but the elegy did not soften in the slightest, "Stupid, if you change someone and say such things, you will already be punished by the Nine Clans, and you will think about what you say in the future, don't blurt out everything." ”

Ji Ye nodded with tears in his eyes, and he only realized that the princess's parents were the ones who said it. Isn't it the emperor and empress? He just said something like that. It is indeed a big rebellion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Nine Clans are punished.

"Then how can the princess say that she is sympathetic to me?" Ji Ye covered his head and asked.

Hearing this, the elegy opened its mouth. But he never spoke. What do you want her to say about this? She is from another world. In this world, she has no real relatives for a long time, even in the former Xia Kingdom. Her siblings are still alive, and even if she returns, they won't recognize her as a traitor.

Thinking about it like this, there was a sullen and depressed piece in her heart, she smiled bitterly, why did she have nothing to do with herself?

She shook her head and smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just because I didn't say anything just now." ”

Ji Ye glanced at the elegy inexplicably, is every member of the royal family as nervous as this princess? Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Elegy.

"By the way, you said that Guangyang City is full of refugees now, and your parents and officials are not in charge?"

Ji Ye didn't know why Elegy suddenly brought the topic to this, but he still answered truthfully, "Lord Xie has been anxious about this matter, I heard that the granaries in Guangyang City have been emptied, but there are so many mouths to feed, where is enough?" ”

"Why didn't this matter be reported to the court? Let the imperial court allocate funds? Elegy was a little puzzled, when she was in the imperial court, she had never heard of anything happening in Guangyang City, this city was relatively small, and everyone almost ignored this small city.

Speaking of this, Ji Ye was a little angry, "What's the use of reporting?" The imperial court's disaster relief silver has never been enough, and I heard that it has been reported before, but how much money did it turn out to be? One hundred taels! There are so many people in Guangyang City, and there are only one hundred taels of disaster relief silver! I've heard that the people of the Imperial City eat more than a hundred taels of a meal outside! ”

"In other words, the silver allocated by the imperial court has been privately swallowed?" Elegy frowned, she had heard of this, but it was unbelievable that it was so outrageous.

"In short, since the first two experiences, Lord Xie no longer believes that the imperial court can save us." When Ji Ye talked about this matter, he bowed to a bitter tear to Lord Xie in Guangyang City, "Lord Xie is a good official. ”

"Will a good official make his local people unable to eat?" Elegy raised eyebrows.

As soon as she said this, there was a little sarcasm in her words, and when Ji Ye heard it, he was angry on the spot, he didn't dare to do the same thing as during the day today, but he could stare at the elegy with his eyes, "Don't you say that, Lord Xie!" ”

"Oh?" Elegy was a little surprised to see that Ji Ye was starting to be more serious, and at the same time began to admire that Lord Xie, obviously in the city he managed, the people were not happy, but he could make these people grateful to him, outsiders couldn't even say a word of gossip, this kind of ability to win people's hearts is not common.

Elegy waved his hand and smiled, "It's not that I don't understand the situation, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Ji Ye pursed his mouth, Elegy spoke so good-naturedly, his anger just now was like hitting a ball of cotton, making him feel quite powerless, he put his head on his knees, and said sullenly: "Since you don't know the truth, don't say that about Lord Xie." ”

He is still defending that person! Elegy became more and more curious about that Lord Xie and asked, "Is that Lord Xie really so good?" I think that a good official should not let the people in his own area be displaced and displaced. ”

"But it's not the adult's fault!" Ji Ye immediately propped up his head and retorted.

Elegy raised his eyebrows, "Since you keep saying that this is not Lord Xie's fault, then you have to say why." ”

"Guangyang City is not a rich place in the first place, the land there is barren, no matter what you plant, the harvest is not good, Lord Xie is also anxious about this matter, and has thought of many ways, but the effect is not obvious, plus this year's spring drought, a heavy rain came too late, and all the crops planted died, so there is no food now."

"I see...... "Elegy nodded, thoughtful.

"Now that the food is getting scarcer and less, we don't want to cause trouble to Lord Xie, and some people choose to leave independently, so this is not the fault of the adults, we are willing to do it!"

"You guys are really good to that Lord Xie, but it's disgraceful to rob people on the official road like this."

"This, this is also forced by the situation!" Ji Ye's face was embarrassed, "When you're hungry, you always do something extreme." ”

"Oh—" Elegy replied, but didn't say anything.

"Now you should know, Lord Xie is a good official, it's not that he doesn't want the people to be rich, it's just that the conditions don't allow it!"

"Although you say so, I still don't know what Lord Xie in your mouth has done to make you so happy and convinced."

Ji Ye was a little angry, "Lord Xie eats and sleeps with us ordinary people, compared with those squires and merchants, it's like a heaven and a earth, if he is willing to be greedy, he can live a good life like those people, but he didn't do this, but he mingled with us people, and cared about the people, isn't he a good official?" ”

"Uh...... Don't you be angry, well, Lord Xie is a good official, that's all right? ”

"Why do you feel that you are particularly perfunctory, princess?" Ji Ye was still a little depressed, he frowned and looked at her.

Elegy waved her hand disapprerovingly, "Princess Ben was born with this tone, she can't change it, just get used to it." ”

Ji Ye was depressed, he always felt that Elegy was not really reassuring to Master Xie, which made him a little anxious, but when she was about to say something, Elegy stood up, "It's not early, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

"Huh? Princess, you're going to sleep now? I still have nothing to say! Ji Ye was about to stand up, but was stopped by Elegy, "If you have anything to say tomorrow, children who sleep late can't grow tall." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ji Ye to speak, he jumped directly into the carriage.

As soon as she entered, she felt that something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her, and after her eyes adjusted to the dark environment, she saw that Ning Yuanxing was still sitting in the carriage.

"Why are you still here?" Elegy was very surprised, because men and women are different, if it is a night in the wilderness, it is usually in the elegy sleeping carriage, Ning Yuan traveled outside to sleep, and he could abide by it well before, what happened today?

Ning Yuanxing didn't answer the elegy's question directly, but just asked, "You seem to be very compatible with that child?" ”

"Kids?" Elegy blinked, "Oh, you mean Ji Ye, well, it's okay, it's quite an interesting kid." ”

"Interesting?" Ning Yuanxing heard the elegy describe Ji Ye like this, chuckled, and said, "That kid is quite rebellious." ”

He said that Ji Ye kicked over the food box during the day today, and it is still rare for someone to dare to do this to the princess, and the reaction after that was also unexpected, he was a different kid, and Ning Yuanxing's attitude towards him was not friendly.

"It seems like this......" Elegy also thought of what happened during the day, but, children, it's normal to be a little rebellious.

"By the way, don't change the subject, tell me, why are you here?" Elegy stared at him with displeasure, and if the two of them were seen spending the night in the same carriage tomorrow morning, God knows what rumors would spread.

"It's too cold outside, can't you come in and escape the cold?" Ning Yuanxing smiled slightly, with a little innocence in his tone.

Elegy was chilled by his appearance, she directly ignored the other party's face, and then leaned on the corner of the carriage and complained: "A big man is still afraid of the cold, I really convinced you, don't pounce on it at night!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned aside, wrapped the blanket tightly around his body, and closed his eyes. Fell asleep.

I thought she would strongly condemn it, but I didn't expect to compromise so quickly, Ning Yuanxing looked at her like this, and finally showed a smile of unknown meaning. (To be continued......)
