Chapter 212: The Little Prince
"You pay?" Zhang Yun's first reaction when he heard a childish child's voice was to mock, but when he saw who the person who spoke up, he closed his mouth, revealing a deflated and frightened expression.
He is the sister-in-law of the Zhang family, and his sister is the concubine in the palace, so he has naturally seen Ye Qiu's appearance, and he also knows a lot about Ye Qiu's style of acting, knowing that he is in a high position and a bastard, he didn't dare to say more, so he didn't kneel down on the spot, or Ye Qiu stopped him with his eyes.
"Little Guizi, give him two hundred taels." Ye Qiu said justice to Gui Gong behind him.
"No, no." Zhang Yun waved his hand again and again, how dare he ask for King An's money? Although I feel sorry for the white porcelain vase I finally bought, I can only count it today.
"It's only natural to lose money for things that break people's things, and I don't think this old man has any money to compensate you, so just take it." Although Ye Qiu is young, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he is not weak, seeing that Zhang Gongzi, who was still arrogant and domineering just now, was polite to him, and the onlookers present also guessed that Ye Qiu's identity was unusual, so they were all very quiet, silently watching this scene.
No one noticed that Li Laohan, who had been kneeling on the ground and weeping, secretly exchanged a look with his granddaughter Li Xiaolian.
Seeing Ye Qiu's strong attitude, Zhang Yun didn't want to take it, for fear that what he did not do well would provoke the anger of the little prince, until Zhang Yun and his entourage returned to the house with the silver, and King An didn't embarrass him?
"Thank you little boy, the little boy is so kind and virtuous that the old man can't repay it, I hope the little boy can look down on this girl and let this girl repay you as a cow and a horse." Li Laohan kowtowed to Ye Qiu, looking grateful.
"Ask the little boy to accept the slave maid, and the slave maid is willing to serve you for the rest of his life." Li Xiaolian's soft and weak mouth, with a white little face and crying with joy, was very pitiful.
"This old man Li is quite kind."
"Two hundred taels of silver, let this Li Xiaolian sell her body is also considered to be the old Li family's earnings."
"This little boy looks like he has an extraordinary identity, maybe the Li family will have great luck in the future!"
The sound of chattering came into Ye Qiu's ears, he knew that today's scene was arranged for him to be seen, it was nothing more than to let Li Xiaolian stay by his side justifiably, if he didn't go down today, maybe the other party would make some new moves, he decided that it was best to put people by his side and observe.
"What's your name?" Ye Qiu asked her with a small chin of flesh, obviously looking arrogant, but against his white and delicate little face, it looked very cute.
"The slave's surname is Li, and my family calls me Xiaolian." Li Xiaolian's voice was very good, and when she saw Ye Qiu asking her, she didn't panic, although she was soft and weak, her tone was gentle and respectful, Ye Qiu in her previous life was deceived by her kind face, and she had thoughts about the imperial brother that she shouldn't have under her constant provocation.
"You want to repay me?" Ye Qiu's tone seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Xiaolian hurriedly said: "The slave maid's family is poor, and she can't pay off the two hundred taels of silver, and I hope that the little boy will have mercy on the poor slave and maid and give me a way to repay it." ”
She looked sincere, not to mention a child, even Father-in-law Gui, who had a long-term vision behind Ye Qiu, couldn't bear it.
"Okay then." Ye Qiu agreed "reluctantly".
Immediately, Li Laohan and Li Xiaolian kowtowed to Ye Qiu with a grateful look, and the onlookers also dispersed one after another when they saw that things had developed to this scene.
There is only this pair of grandchildren left in the Li family, Ye Qiu simply let Li Laohan follow him, anyway, there is a lot of work to do in the imperial village, which will not starve him to death, and it will be convenient for his own people to keep an eye on him.
"What is this?" Li Xiaolian was speechless in surprise when she saw Ye Qiu get into a luxurious carriage after leaving the city.
Gonggong Gui smiled proudly at her: "Little Lian girl, you can be regarded as lucky, and you will be His Highness's person in the future." ”
"Your Highness?" Li Xiaolian opened her mouth wide, as if she was shocked by this sentence.
"It was our Royal Highness King An who just saved you." Grandpa Gui looked at her shocked expression with satisfaction, and proudly explained.
"Slave and maid thank His Royal Highness King An for his great kindness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." Hearing Father-in-law Gui's words, Li Xiaolian immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Qiu's carriage.
Gonggong Gui nodded with satisfaction, it seems that this Li Xiaolian is still sensible, and she may be able to serve the prince well in the future.
Li Xiaolian is a people's daughter, even if Ye Qiu personally accepted her as a slave, she couldn't take office immediately, and after she arrived in Huangzhuang, she was taken down by two grandmothers to be trained.
Huangzhuang is the private property of Ye Qiu given by Emperor Ye Ling, and the people in it are also his personal guards, although most of them obey the emperor's orders because of his age, but it does not affect Ye Qiu at all.
Ye Qiu didn't come to Huangzhuang simply to play, but to find an open opportunity to take out sweet potatoes, peppers and other things in the space.
Dachen has experienced five emperors, his imperial brother Ye Lingdi is the sixth, and the entire Dachen has also experienced the process of turning from prosperity to decline, and now it is in the period of decline.
Although his imperial brother Ye Ling was a good emperor who loved the people like a son, he had no choice but to make peace between the two emperors, Ye Qiu's grandfather and father, which made the entire Dachen Kingdom decline rapidly.
It is precisely for this reason that the ambitions of some people are fueled.
Five years later, Dachen will usher in a drought that is rare in a century, nearly half of the land has not been harvested, so that the people are full of resentment, and in addition to the rumors spread by well-intentioned people, his imperial brother's throne is even in jeopardy for a time.
Although he stabilized later, his imperial brother's body gradually collapsed because of this incident, so he collapsed after experiencing his betrayal later.
Ye Qiu didn't want to let the imperial brother go through the series of troubles in his previous life, but the drought was a natural disaster and it was irreversible, so he could only think of a way from somewhere else.
Sweet potato is a drought-tolerant, storage-tolerant, large-yielding and satisfying crop, as well as potatoes and peanuts, etc., Ye Qiu believes that as long as these crops are widespread throughout the country, even if it is a drought, the people will not starve to death.
As for wanting to grow chili peppers, it is Ye Qiu's selfishness, he is a person with a heavy appetite, since he came to this world, he has been thinking about hot pot, spicy chicken, chili fried meat and other dishes all the time, no matter how good the dishes in the palace are, he is tired of eating them.
"You're all waiting here, I'll go up myself." Ye Qiu instructed Xiao Guizi and the guards.
"How can this work?" Father-in-law Gui is in a hurry, what if something happens to the little prince?
"There are no beasts in the mountains, what are you worried about?" Ye Qiu glared at him, "Don't come with me, if you hear it, I will send you into the room." Ye Qiu threatened.
Hearing him say this, Gonggong Gui really stopped persuading them, without him, just because the prestige of the Yan Room was too great, only the palace people who made big mistakes were sent inside, and without exception, none of the palace people who went in could come back alive.
