Chapter 295: The Second Brother is Here
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Guifei, aren't you going to rest? Why did you come here at this time, but something? He held out his hand and motioned for the concubine to come over.
Jing Chuchu sat beside the emperor, listening to the pig-like sound outside, and suddenly felt a little relieved.
"The concubines are not stupid, those officials have no good intentions, and what purpose they have in their hearts has been written on their faces, if the concubines are still interceding for them, then it is the real public and private, which makes the emperor embarrassed, and the concubines are also selfish, but they don't want to let there be a few more jealous sisters in the harem, and they struggle every day to win the emperor's favor."
She is very calm, she doesn't like it and doesn't want to intercede for them, so naturally she won't do anything that makes her unhappy.
"You dare to love and hate, and you even feel disgusted by pretending, which can only show that these officials are really annoying, but I didn't expect them to have these thoughts, knowing that I have just arrived in Jiangnan, so I can't wait to stick to it."
"Your Majesty, the ministers are understandable for the emperor to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but this has not done anything, first sent people here, in the end it is a broken rule, if the people know that the emperor came to Jiangnan, and accept the gifts of the officials, it will definitely say that the emperor is absurd and unreasonable, originally for the sake of the people, to do things for them, in the end they are not good, isn't it a dilemma, these officials themselves do not have long eyes, then no one is to blame, a beating is a warning, so they put in the concubines This is not to let them eat and go around."
So there was a time when the news that the emperor came to Jiangnan spread far and wide, and even many people came to send their hearts.
Nangong Jinrun just sent people to stay at a distance and didn't let those people get close.
"It's dangerous here, the more people get closer, the more uneasy they are, the kindness of the people, I understand it, but I can't let them go to great lengths for me."
Although he was worried, he was also happy, at least the people welcomed him.
Jing Chuchu had nothing to do in the past two days, and he pulled people together to start making mouth seals, and there will only be more and more people who come here, and there will be more and more people who need mouth seals, and they must be fully prepared.
Lu Zhu rubbed his eyes and moved a bowl of stomach-warming soup.
"Niangniang, we have made so many seals, and we brought a lot of them when we came, which is almost enough for the time being."
She rubbed her sore arm, but fortunately she had already done it skillfully in the palace, so they did it quickly and well.
"That's right, that's enough."
For several days, no one was brought out.
"Niangniang, no one has died in it since I came, it seems that even the plague is afraid of our emperor, and if you want to cure it, it is just around the corner."
"Don't be happy so early, the emperor is here, naturally there are many people who are happy, and there are many people who are worried, those ministers have never been here since they were beaten by the emperor, just see if they will go back and think about it, if they do something excessive in the future, I say that it is the emperor, and even the palace will not let them go again."
At the beginning of the day, there was a little relief, no one was discharged, no one died, and no one died, which means that the plague is slowly being controlled, and the prescription that can treat the plague is getting closer and closer.
"Alas...... I only hope that this place can be peaceful and restore the quiet and tranquility of the past, they have suffered from a great flood, and they have just stabilized, and there is such a big thing, natural disasters and man-made disasters, all poor people. ”
She didn't have the slightest pity for the ministers and the beauties sent, and felt that they should be punished, and what they did was clearly an insult to the emperor's reputation.
But these people are different, they are just good people, because of a flood, there is no home, there is no place to live.
"Niangniang, the slave maid also thinks that those officials have been sleeping too much these days, and now, several days have passed, and I haven't seen any movement from them."
"Qiyu Guifei Niangniang, there is a minister outside who asks to see her."
Jing Chuchu tilted his head sideways, looking very cute, but there was a spurt of anger in his eyes.
"Why, if you can't deal with it, will the emperor hit the head of the palace with the idea?" She was thinking in her heart, how to rectify the minister who was not long-sighted?
"It's me!"
A majestic voice came, and Jing Chuchu immediately stood up: "Second brother, why are you here?" ”
She never expected that her second brother Jing Zhongqing would come here at this time.
"A few days ago, I received news that the emperor came to Jiangnan, but I didn't hear that you were also here, it was my father who sent someone to tell me the news, so I put down what I was doing, and came to see you non-stop, sister, you are really bold, you dare to accompany the emperor to the plague area, in the end, if you are not careful, you may lose your life."
Jing Zhongqing was very worried about his sister, and when he received the news, he hurried over.
"You and your father are here, although my sister is a concubine, she can never rest assured of you, so I came with the emperor to see you."
Jing Chuchu looked at the second brother with a dark face, thinking that he had been here for so long, and it was also windy and sunny outside.
"Second brother, the matter of building the embankment is also hard for you."
"It's okay, the second brother is only responsible for watching them don't cut corners, the court has allocated so much money, I know that the third brother's credit is indispensable in it, since it is all his own silver, then he has to be optimistic, and he can't let those people secretly put it into his purse."
Jing Zhongqing saw it very clearly, and he also understood that most of the money allocated by the imperial court was actually stripped off layer by layer if no one was watching, and there was not much silver that could be used to build the embankment.
"No wonder I heard the emperor say that he sent you over to supervise, anyway, it's all your own money, you have to take care of it, you must not let those people embezzle, it is not easy for the third brother to earn this money, there have been a lot of things in the palace recently, you and our general's mansion are about to supplement the palace, and the bottom is facing the sky."
She laughed self-deprecatingly, why did General Zhang's Mansion supplement the palace, she knew it in her heart, if it wasn't for her to make the position of the concubine more stable, she was the third brother who was as rich as her life, how could she have so much blood?
Jing Zhongqing first bowed in a proper manner, and then stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and gently patted her hair.
"Sister, the second brother has been patrolling outside, and he didn't have time to ask how you were doing in the palace? The emperor ...... to you"
She immediately answered: "Okay, of course, the emperor only brought his sister a concubine to Jiangnan, and the ministers came over to send beautiful women to the emperor a few days ago, but you also know that my sister is still thinking about waiting for the opportunity to see you!" I didn't expect you to be here. ”
She and her second brother hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they felt a little awkward and unnatural when they first spoke.
