In the end, according to Bailichen's method, the drought temporarily relocated some of the people from Fengyuan County to other towns, which reduced the pressure here.

Knowing that their mother and wife could be properly accommodated, the remaining strong men became more and more at ease to work.

This Fengyuan County was originally mainly planted with rice, but because of the dry weather, the rice has already died, but fortunately, this time the imperial court has been prepared, so that Fengyuan County planted more cold-resistant corn.

"This is a newly discovered variety, which can adapt to the water and soil of the south than ordinary corn, but it takes a little more effort to plant."

When the news was sent, Bai Lichen still intended to test Mu Qing and showed Mu Qing, but he didn't expect Mu Qing to put forward an idea that made him feel a little surprised.

Fengyuan County is a large agricultural city, and there is naturally a lot of farmland, and the young and strong men who remain, or a small number of women who are willing to work, each gets a part of the planting land, and distributes the amount of food that can be obtained by their families according to the final corn harvest.

And the imperial court took one-fifth of this corn, and the remaining three-fifths were given to the owners of the farmland, and the remaining two-fifths were given to the cultivators of the farmland, so as to meet the needs of those rich and noble families, as well as the needs of the common people who could not eat.

Although there are still many things that need to be modified, in the end, the grain sent by the imperial court can not only be rewarded, but also properly resettle these people.

When the emperor received the news, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"It's strange that the two highnesses can come up with this method, in previous years, the drought-stricken treasury would lose a lot of money and food, not to mention, those victims could not be properly resettled, but now it is different, not only have the victims been resettled, but also a lot of food has been recovered from the treasury."

The ministers also spoke words of appreciation, praising the emperor for having two sons who were talented in heaven.

The news reported back did not say which prince came up with this idea, but the emperor's heart was still more partial to his third son, after all, the prince has always been inactive in the eyes of the emperor.

In order to compete for the credit of this time, the prince even directly returned to the capital one step ahead of Bailichen to report to the emperor about this time, intending to put the credit on himself this time.

Bai Lichen didn't say anything, just did things according to the rules, reported the drought to the incident, and finally had to do some work to deal with the aftermath.

"It's really thankless, and the emperor doesn't want to think about how the prince suddenly has such a great ability after so many years of mediocrity, and actually directly solved the drought? It's not that he robbed his brother of the credit. ”

Thinking of this, Mu Qing's heart was a little unhappy.

What she hated the most in her life was people who robbed others of their credit, but now that the prince was famous for the drought, it was not the best time to deal with him.

Mu Qing kept this incident in mind, and wanted to wait until he grabbed the handle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future before making some plans.

When the time comes, the new accounts and the old accounts will be settled together, and she doesn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can continue to be his good son in the eyes of the emperor!

The drought also made the third imperial concubine Mu Qing famous in the capital, Bai Lichen did not give himself credit, but reported Mu Qing's credit.

asked the emperor to reward Mu Qing with a lot of good things, which made Mu Qing a little puzzled, why didn't this Bailichen think about giving himself credit, but he gave her a lot of benefits?

She is just a third imperial concubine, even if she has a good reputation in the capital, she is just a woman, although Baili Country does not have a precedent of caring very much about a woman's body, but she is still a little puzzled in her heart.

It's just that now that the rewards have come down and the things that should be solved have been settled, Mu Qing didn't think about holding on to this matter.

After all, Bai Lichen is a much more shrewd person than her, and he will definitely not do anything that harms himself and others, but he is afraid that the prince will rob the credit, which is also deliberately connived at by Bai Lichen, and in fact, it will have no impact on Bai Lichen's big plan at all.

Although Bailichen is not recorded in the merit book like a prince, Bailichen can be regarded as meritorious in the end.

At least the emperor praised her, and the civil and military officials gradually felt that the third prince, who had recovered his body, had the capital to compete for power in the imperial court.

The more this happened, the more wary the prince became of the three princes, and several ministers in the court who stood on the side of the three princes were suppressed by the prince's subordinates.

Fortunately, these people are still loyal, even if their official positions have suffered a lot of fluctuations, but it is rare that they have always stood on the side of the third prince Bailichen.

"You've had a laid-back life."

The relationship between the two has become much better because of the drought, and the unpleasantness along the way has passed.

It's just that Mu Qing and Bai Lichen are getting busier and busier, one is because the Mu family seems to be interested in taking refuge with the prince recently, but the daughter is from the third prince's side, and she can't find any way.

The second is Mu Wan, after knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looked down upon by the emperor because of disaster relief, she wanted to marry the prince's mansion more and more, and even envied Liu Lingxi.

It's just that now the Mu family is just a four-grade Shangshu, and if you marry Dingtian, you are just a side concubine.

Thinking that Mu Qing was now the concubine of the third prince, and she was rich and noble, Mu Wan's heart became more and more jealous, wishing that Mu Qing would be pulled down from that position early.

"Qing'er, you prepare, your distant cousin's uncle will bring your cousin to visit his relatives in a few days."

This form is the son of one of Liu's brothers, although the family is still rich, but in the end it is a concubine, so Liu's has always looked down on this brother, and he doesn't even have a good impression of his son.

This kid Liu is a gambling and lustful person, don't talk about it if you don't learn or have no skills, I don't know how much family wealth has been ruined over the years!

"What are you doing to entertain them, but you just want to borrow money from your father, and you have lost face to your mother for no reason!"

Mu Wan said very dissatisfied, the Liu family over there still cared about her status in her mother's family, and persuaded her daughter in a good voice, but she didn't expect Mu Wan to have thoughts that she shouldn't have......

"Mother, aren't you going to have a banquet at home in a few days, if you take the opportunity to call Mu Qing back at that time, and put her with her cousin after she is stunned...... His Royal Highness the Third Prince will definitely divorce her! ”

Mu Wan's eyes were full of malice and ambition, even if it was impossible to marry the crown prince, but marrying His Royal Highness the Third Prince was also excellent, it was better than watching this Mu Qing show off his martial arts over and over again!

"Wan'er, do you really want to do this? You have to think clearly, this time the matter is not simple, if the master knows that in order to frame Mu Qing, we have done such a thing, the master will definitely not let us go. ”

After the previous incidents, the Liu family was a little afraid in his heart, because of the previous few farces, Mu Chenghai was a little disgusted with the Liu family.

Now even more of them went to the side of the aunts below, and if it weren't for the fact that the Liu family now has a big business, he would definitely be completely cold to himself.

"But mother, this Mu Qing uses her identity and status to show off her power in front of me every time, and even if she becomes the third princess, I haven't seen how she helps the family, didn't my father scold her last time."

Mu Wan cried and begged in front of the Liu family a few times, and the Liu family's heart was a little moved, so in the end, she couldn't make her daughter's pleading, and went to beg Mu Chenghai, saying that she hoped that this banquet would make Mu Qing come back.

"Master, didn't you say it some time ago, now there is an excellent opportunity for promotion, Lingxi is just a side concubine, and she can't get the love of His Royal Highness the Prince, but Mu Qing is a real third princess, plus His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been very embarrassed in front of the emperor recently, if you ask Mu Qing to help you say a few words......"

There is some truth in this, Mu Chenghai has been sitting in his current position for several years, and he has long been unwilling to continue to be a small scholar, so he immediately asked the little servant to send a post to the Third Prince's Mansion and asked Mu Qing to return to his parents' house to participate in this banquet.

Mu Qing is not a fool, she is reluctant to go, but she has also personally learned the mouth of Mu Chenghai and Liu, if she doesn't go, she may not be able to arrange it.

"Mother, do you really want to go back?"

Xin'er's tone was a little worried, she always knew that the old lady was very unkind to the young lady, and even tossed some unnecessary things to frame the young lady every time, so she actually hoped that the mother could refuse.

"There's no need to be so careful, if they really want to find a way to assassinate me, I just need to see the trick and hide from it."

smiled, and the expression on Mu Qing's face looked a little better.

Yes, Mu Wan and Liu's routines have been seen several times, what is there to be afraid of, it's just those skills.

Thinking so, Mu Qing went back to his parents' house without fear.

The three princes have never been restrained by Mu Qing's actions, and it stands to reason that if the concubine of the three princes wants to return to her parents' house, she needs to inform the three princes and get permission before she can go back, but Bailichen gave Mu Qing the maximum freedom, and she can go back if she wants.

So this time, she only sent someone to tell Bai Lichen, saying that she was going back to her parents' house to attend the banquet.

The Mu family's banquet this time was grand, and it was only said that it was to entertain the people of the mother's family.

"I've seen the three imperial concubines."

At the banquet, two strange men stood up and saluted Mu Qing, Mu Qing's heart was a little strange, he didn't know these two people when he was in the Mu family before, could this be the relatives of the Liu family?

"Niangniang, this is the eldest lady's brother-in-law, and the other son-in-law is his son, Niangniang had better be careful, I heard that this Liu Yu is very greedy for money and lustful......
