Chapter 31: Go out for a walk
Until Lie Chang'an's wound healed and he continued to return to the court, he did not visit him in the side hall again.
Hearing that he had returned to the mansion after being injured, he only nodded lightly.
Jasmine looked at the princess's haggard face and sighed inwardly.
The princess was tempted for the first time, and she just liked the person who belonged to her heart, and with the princess's character of distinguishing between right and wrong, I am afraid that no matter how much she likes it, she will not rob someone else of something.
Since the assassin incident, the palace has been on increased alert, and General Chang'an, under the emperor's orders, also handed over the affairs of the military camp to the deputy general first, and he stayed in the palace to take up his post.
The assassins have not been able to find out what is behind it, but the drought in Lihuai County has become more and more serious, and the people have no harvest and a famine has begun.
The emperor has announced his will in the court, allowing various government offices to open warehouses and release grain at various passes along the road to Lihuai County, so as to relieve the worries of the people.
But after all, the grain reserves of the various prefectures are limited, so within half a month, the famine is getting more and more serious, and the granaries of the prefectures at all checkpoints have been written to report the urgency, and the people are begging along the streets, complaining, and the people are not able to make a living, begging the court for support.
So, after careful consideration, the emperor specially appointed the crown prince as the ambassador of the Qincha, and the army escorted 10,000 deniers of grain with the prince to Lihuai County to help the victims.
As for why the prince had to be appointed, it was because the disaster was serious, causing the people to live in a difficult situation, and there were many complaints, and when the prince went in person, he would definitely be able to appease the people, win the hearts of the people, and also establish a reputation for the prince to be considerate of the suffering of the people when he ascended the throne in the future.
When she learned that the prince was going to Lihuai County for disaster relief, she immediately ran to the East Palace and begged the prince to take her with her.
"Nonsense!"
Wei Chu has always doted on this sister who is a fellow mother, but when she heard her request, she couldn't help but be angry, "Do you think this is for fun?" It's nonsense! ”
"Why can't I go with me? I promise I won't cause trouble to my brother, okay? ”
Holding Wei Chu's arm, he tried to get by.
"My brother is on business, the road is far away, and there are people who are famine, there is no fun at all, what good can you do if you go?"
Wei Chu only wanted to go out of the palace for a while and was greedy for fun, so she could only comfort her patiently.
"I'm going."
The hometown is not still, pouting and saying, "I'm not afraid of boredom or hard work, so I want to relax." ”
For Wei Chu, this was an excuse for her to go out of the palace and have fun.
A little girl of fourteen or fifteen, with golden branches and jade leaves, brocade clothes and jade food, a collection of thousands of pets, what do you want, what troubles can you still need to go out for a walk?
"No, it's useless for you to beg me."
This matter is big, even if Wei Chu indulges her, it is impossible to follow her temperament.
"Humph!"
I didn't expect the prince's brother to be so difficult to speak this time, so he stomped his feet angrily, snorted coldly at him and raised his chin, "If you don't follow me, then I'll go to my father and let him give an order!" ”
"Okay."
Wei Chu saw her puffed face and laughed, "You go and ask your father, if he can agree, I naturally have nothing to say." ”
Just kidding, with her father's fear of melting in the palm of her hand, can she do such a dangerous thing as going to the disaster area far away?
But Wei Chu didn't expect that the emperor really agreed.
Although the emperor felt that it was too dangerous to go to his hometown like this, he also put on his face and angrily scolded his hometown for messing around at first, but in the end he couldn't resist the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the pearl in his palm, and he cried coquettishly, so he had to reluctantly agree.
What can be done?
His favorite daughter, as long as she wants, no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it for her.
