Chapter 172: Flood Relief Funds
This guy is really getting more and more evil!
With two potatoes, I paid the business directly, Lord Luo was in a good mood tonight, the things in this palace felt extremely sweet when I ate them, and Luo Shuangyi and the two of them, they drank so much!
Today's banquet, the main purpose is to appreciate things, the items are finished, the palace has prepared some songs and dances, and when the songs and dances are over, this banquet will be considered to be the end.
Some people were too drunk and wanted to leave the venue early, but they were stopped by the people in the palace.
The Queen Mother saw that the time was almost up, so she gave the eunuchs around her a look and asked them to guard the people.
Luo Shuangyi and Luo Wang Ye glanced at each other, and they both smelled a hint of conspiracy in each other's eyes.
"All of you are meritorious ministers of our dynasty, and every brick and tile of this country is closely related to you! Nowadays, the floods in the south are serious, and there are people who are starving all over the country, and they can't bear to mourn their families. ”
After a while, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly raised by two points: "However, the treasury is empty, and the mourning family is powerless even if it has a heart, so I hope that the ministers will help me to help me make a contribution to the country and the mountains and the society and contribute generously!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials on the spot all changed their faces, and they wanted to come to the palace to compete with each other, but they didn't think that they would go to a Hongmen banquet!
With the items just presented as evidence, the Queen Mother has a certain understanding of the financial resources of each official, and these people can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
The registered eunuch recorded on the side, but the queen mother's eyes never left everyone.
When he arrived at Lu Huaiyu, the eunuch changed his face again, and the ones registered on it were at least a thousand taels, but Lu Huaiyu took out only one hundred taels!
Lu Huaiyu glared at the eunuch: "What do you think this son is doing?" This son is an idle official, and with all this money, it has been a few months! ”
The King of Chu stood beside Lu Huaiyu and couldn't help but sigh again.
When it was the turn of King Luo's Mansion, Lord Luo looked at the one hundred taels on it, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, thinking that this was the palace, he couldn't help it.
Then he also took out a hundred taels from his money bag.
The eunuch looked at the hundred taels handed over by Lord Luo, and his eyes were about to poke at the silver ticket.
But Prince Luo didn't even leave the corner of his eye for the eunuch after paying the money, but turned around to look at Luo Shuangyi: "Yi'er, my father has given out all the money in the past few months, and from today onwards, I'm afraid I will wronged you to drink porridge with your father!" ”
Luo Shuangyi hurriedly cooperated: "Daddy, donate money for the people, and it's okay for your daughter to drink porridge!" ”
The people on the side thought that this Luo Wang Ye had handed over some sky-high wealth, but at first glance, it was only a hundred taels of silver, but he pretended to hand over his net worth!
King Luo, are you still embarrassed?
After all the people present were registered, the Queen Mother looked at the two hundred taels standing out from the crowd above, and was so angry that her nostrils almost smoked, and she glanced at the others who were all eye-catching ten thousand queens, and then the fire gradually disappeared.
"Hahahaha......"
endured all the way, and when the carriage was about to arrive at the gate of King Luo's mansion, Lord Luo couldn't hold back anymore and laughed directly.
"Yi'er, you don't know, it's the first time that your father and I have done such a heart-wrenching thing in front of all the ministers!"
Seeing the smile on Wang Ye Luo's face, Luo Shuangyi's mood also improved.
"However, you just looked at those two potatoes and praised them without changing your face, which is really admirable for your father!"
Thinking of the fact that she was talking nonsense with her eyes open in the imperial garden, Luo Shuangyi was a little embarrassed, but in the end, the last scene of her father's death also amazed her!
"Daddy, you're not far behind!"
The two looked at each other, and two hearty laughs rippled in the air.
"What's the happy event that happened, the prince is smiling so happily?"
Aunt Liu, who heard the news and went out to greet her, heard the laughter of the two, her expression was a little dazed, she couldn't remember how long the prince hadn't laughed like this, think about it carefully, since the prince entered the court as an official, the smile on his face will always be old Shen with a little restraint.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the father and daughter, Aunt Liu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Seeing Aunt Liu, the whole person of Luo Wangfu couldn't help but stick it up: "Madam, I have done a happy thing for my husband in the palace today, and I will tell you when I go back to the room in a while!" ”
Lord Luo drank wine in the palace, and at this time he was already a little drunk, and when he saw Aunt Liu, he couldn't help but reach out and hug her waist.
Aunt Liu trembled with fright, but she didn't dare to push him away, looking at Luo Shuangyi who was standing aside, her face was almost red, and she pushed her softly: "What are you doing?" My daughter is still watching! ”
Luo Shuangyi hurriedly took the little bird to bypass the two: "Mother, I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to the room to rest first, and Daddy will hand it over to you!" ”
When the words fell, he hurriedly disappeared from the two of them with a little bird.
Aunt Liu looked at the back of her daughter leaving in a hurry, but the temperature on her face couldn't go down for a long time, so she hurriedly called two little servants to carry Lord Luo back to the room.
After cleaning up a lot, Aunt Liu dismissed the next person, sat on the low stool next to the bed alone, and looked at the drunk person on the bed tenderly by a candlelight at the bedside.
The person on the bed was extremely dishonest, and somehow pulled her up together, Aunt Liu looked at him with a confused look, but she still couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't help but think of the picture of seeing him for the first time when she was young.
At that time, he was not a prince, and the first time he saw her, he smiled at her stupidly, and scared her into nightmares for several days!
"Madame......"
whispering in the dream, Aunt Liu stepped forward to listen, but only heard a few words intermittently: "Yi'er she...... Sure enough...... Like me! ”
In the low murmur, it is difficult to hide the affection and happiness.
——
"Miss, what should I do with this thing?"
Xiao Que held the potatoes that were returned from the palace, and looked at Luo Shuangyi blankly, it is estimated that only they Luo Wangfu and Mingyang Wangfu were returned as gifts today!
"Hold on, tomorrow, Miss, I'll fry you a plate of vinegared shredded potatoes, let's go to Wushuang Courtyard, add vegetables!"
After washing, Luo Shuangyi lay on the bed alone, tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.
About Luo Wangfu, about Luo Wangye, Aunt Liu and the old lady, at first, Luo Shuangyi only felt that they were all relatives of the original owner, so she had to be good to them!
But later, she began to try to slowly accept this kind of love, and treat them as her real relatives.
But after today's incident passed, Luo Shuangyi's heart was completely inhabited by a person who called "father"!
It turns out that having my father to protect me is such a happy thing!
Daddy loves her so much, and in the future, she must repay him well!
She was dazed and thought about the bits and pieces that had happened since the crossing, and sleepiness slowly set in.
When he woke up the next day, Luo Shuangyi really stir-fried the two potatoes returned from the palace, but fortunately, the size of the potatoes was indeed not small, Luo Shuangyi fried them all, and he was able to pretend to be four dishes!
sent a plate to each yard, and sure enough, Luo Shuangyi's shredded potatoes received unanimous praise, but the praise from the Frost Courtyard didn't know if it was true or not.
——
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Court.
"Your Majesty, the floods in the south have caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries for many days, and I ask the emperor to make a ruling in time!"
Prince Luo stood in the center of the main hall and reported to the emperor on the dragon chair about the disaster in the south in recent days.
He had written many excerpts before, hoping that the emperor could come up with a solution, or send personnel to the disaster-stricken area in time to deal with it, but every time he submitted the excerpts, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and after listening to the words of Prince Luo, his whole face sank: "King Luo, I already know about the flood in the south, I will deal with it, you give me a fold every day, you don't bother me, I'm annoyed!" ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Lord Luo wanted to admonish again, and the emperor got up directly and said, "I'm tired, today's court meeting is here!" ”
When the words fell, he directly threw down the ministers in the palace and returned to the harem.
Wang Ye Luo looked at the emperor's appearance of not being able to support the wall, and sighed deeply in his heart.
It seems that sooner or later this country will be shaken!
The ministers who were officials together couldn't stand it anymore, patted Prince Luo's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "King Luo, it's been so long, you still can't see the situation clearly?" Go home and think about it! ”
Along the way, Lord Luo was thinking about what happened at the reward banquet, that banquet, the palace received at least a few million taels of silver, but he didn't see the people in the palace for a long time, and distributed disaster relief silver taels to the south!
That money, maybe it has never been out of the palace at all, and the Queen Mother's so-called disaster relief fundraising is just an excuse to collect money!
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious this matter became, and he was troubled, so he hurriedly opened the curtain and said to the coachman outside: "Go to the household!" ”
Coming out of the household, Lord Luo's face turned completely black!
Sure enough, after the end of the reward banquet, the Queen Mother did not mention the disaster relief money at all, let alone send people to the disaster area to send any supplies!
Sooner or later, this black-hearted old woman will let the spittle of the people drown!
Lord Luo secretly cursed in his heart, but when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at King Luo's mansion.
"Lord Wang, Lu Shizi is already waiting in the main hall for a meeting!"
As soon as he arrived at the house, Uncle Zhou came forward to report.
Lu Huaiyu?
Lord Luo's eyes flashed, and he didn't want to see this person very much, but when he thought of the current situation of the victims in the south, he was afraid that he would have to discuss it with him, so he went with Uncle Zhou with a calm face.
Lu Huaiyu had been waiting in the main hall for a while, and when he saw Lord Luo coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and headed towards Lord Luo's luggage: "Lord Luo!" ”
Lord Luo raised his hand, "Sit down!" ”
"What are you looking for me?"
