Chapter Ninety-Four: Disaster Relief
At ten o'clock in the morning, the new disciples had already started their morning exercises, and after a long time, there was no trace of Xiao Lingran, it turned out that she was talking to Wanqing about something.
"Where are you going this morning?" Xiao Lingran asked.
Wanqing immediately put her finger to her mouth and made a "shhhhh
"Yesterday, my father sent the head of the family and the senior brother into the palace to question, I don't know what to say, I heard that it was a big rage, no, do you want to call me and my brother back today!" Wanqing said helplessly, with these worries in her eyes.
"Okay, then be careful on your way." Since it was a private matter, Xiao Lingran didn't want to ask too much, so he turned around and went to train.
Think back to yesterday......
"Chuan Qingye's head Yi Qing is hereβ"
As soon as the words fell, a man dressed in white walked in slowly, the road had already been poured with holy water, and the incense was still rising on both sides.
In the splendid palace, the Holy Lord was talking to Yiqing about the locust plague.
"Venerable, what do you think are the signs of this locust plague? After all, my Tianxiang Kingdom has always been in good weather and rain, and I rarely encounter locust plagues, let alone such ......."
The emperor was a little worried, after all, he had always been feudal and believed in everything about immortals, and the head of the family in front of him had become an immortal, and he was even more respectful.
"When the deity was in retreat, he had calculated a hexagram, this year is not an auspicious year, and many business directions may affect the livelihood of the people of Li and the fortunes of the country......," Yiqing said lightly, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
When the emperor heard the words about the fortunes of the country, he immediately panicked and hurriedly asked: "But what did the widow do wrong to provoke the anger of the gods and condemn the kingdom of Tianxiang?" β
Yiqing took a sip of the tribute tea in the palace, and never touched it again, "Although the tribute tea is good, it is full of desire and power, forgive Yiqing for not being blessed, and taste the tea carefully......"
After he finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, why did the emperor not understand what he meant, so he wanted to leave him behind.
"Stop her...... Don't let her in. Several anxious voices came from outside the hall.
"Who is making a noise outside the temple?" The Grand Duke next to the Emperor asked openly.
"Father, it's a daughter!" A brightly dressed girl jumped in and walked in, presumably a princess too.
"Boss, why are you here at this time?" The emperor looked at the eldest princess and asked.
She found a place to sit down and replied, "Didn't I hear that my father was talking to His Holiness, and the relevant national society, so I came here to take a look~"
The emperor sighed helplessly and said, "Do you really care about the country, so you came to listen to our conversation?" β
She smiled shyly and glanced at Yiqing unabashedly, "That's natural, after all, Wanying is the eldest princess, so naturally you have to know more." β
"That's it, whatever you want." The emperor didn't bother to care about her, after all, since she saw Yiqing for the first time, she had fallen in love with him deeply, and every time she heard him coming, she had to rush over to see him as soon as possible.
"What did Father and Respect talk about?" Wanying asked curiously.
"Respect said that this year will be full of disasters and difficulties, and it will be difficult for the people of Li-" Your Majesty was also full of sorrow when he said.
"Why didn't my father prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, which should be to worship the heavens and pray for blessings?" Wanying said, shouting a piece of cake in her mouth.
His Majesty thought for a moment and replied, "You have a good idea this time, to worship the heavens, hoping that there will be fewer disasters this year......
"Come on, send an order, inform the heads of all factions, hold a ceremony to worship the heavens at the beginning of next month, let them prepare in advance, and this time it will be presided over by Qingye Gate-" The emperor said.
"That's very good...... There are a lot of affairs in the faction, Rong Yiqing retired first, if Your Majesty has any questions, you can always ask my eldest apprentice Fengyun. After saying that, this Yiqing turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
"What are you doing, why don't you invite Fengyun over quickly!" The emperor looked at the group of little eunuchs next to him who had no eyesight and said.
After a long time, this group of people invited Fengyun over.
"See Your Majesty's ......"
Seeing this person so gentle and elegant, the first impression of him was very good. His Majesty smiled and said, "You are the chief disciple of Venerable Yiqing?" β
Fengyun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood, it's just that Fengyun is the oldest disciple in the sect, so they are all used to calling me Senior Brother...... As for the chief, no one dares to call himself now-"
His Majesty nodded in understanding, and then asked straight to the point.
"I heard that you took the initiative to lead the team this time, did you encounter any problems in the process?" His Majesty asked, looking at him carefully.
"Hmm...... Yes. Fengyun replied unabashedly.
His Majesty's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then tell the widow quickly, did you encounter some evil spirit, or some god and man descended?" β
Fengyun looked at his sparkling eyes, shook his head awkwardly, and replied, "It's not ......."
"What's that?" His Majesty was somewhat disappointed.
"We passed through a village that was badly damaged, and as soon as we entered, the villagers wanted to attack us......
His Majesty sighed, "That's not a matter of choice, after all, the number of mobs has been changing these years, especially those remote villages...... It can't be disciplined! β
Fengyun shook his head again and explained, "It's not because of improper discipline, but because of ...... Because ......," he sipped.
"Why, you say?" His Majesty looked at him so hesitantly, but he became even more curious.
"It's because ...... About disaster relief funds and food ......" Fengyun was a little frightened after speaking, and cautiously looked at the emperor's expression.
"Peng!"
His Majesty slapped the table with a slap, causing everyone on the spot to kneel.
"Alas, Your Majesty, don't be angry, this slap hurts on the tip of your hand on the tip of the old slave's heart......" The Grand Duke and the public horse on the side came out with a rhetoric.
"Get out of the way!" His Majesty ignored his flattery and focused all his attention on Fengyun.
"Get out of here!" His Majesty gave the order, and everyone was separated by him.
"Now they're all gone, let's talk, but what's wrong with the disaster relief materials?" His Majesty asked.
Fengyun nodded and replied, "Exactly." The villagers said that they had waited for several months, but no silver taels or grain had been delivered, and they thought that the Holy God had abandoned them. β
"Abandon it, huh! I would like to know who is so bold as to dare to do anything with disaster relief materials, causing me to become such an unkind hypocrite! The emperor snorted coldly, and then said to Wanying next to him:
"Later, you will send someone to call Wanqing and Bai Ci back!" He watched as the princess commanded.
β¦β¦
Wanqing and Bai Ci had already returned to Fenglan City and were making carriages to the palace.
"Brother Huang, you said that my father made such a big fire this time and asked us to go back, what happened?" Wanqing sat in the carriage and asked Bai Ci next to her.
Bai Ci was holding his forehead to look at the street scene outside the carriage, this time he was in such a hurry that he forgot to say hello to Tu Ye and them.
"Brother Huang......?" Wanqing called softly.
Bai Ci reacted and turned his head to look at Wanqing, "Well, what's wrong?" β
Wanqing expressed helplessness and sighed.
"Maybe it's about disaster relief." Bai Ci said slowly, "I didn't go on a mission, so naturally I don't know too much. β
Wanqing just said "um" and ignored him along the way.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrivedβ" shouted the man outside the door.
"Wanqing, Bai Ci, you're finally back." The emperor greeted them with a smile, holding Wanqing in one hand and Bai Ci in the other, and led them to the seat.
"Tell my father about it, how are the Qingye cultivators?"
"Although it is hard, in order to grow better, we must also work hard and redouble our efforts." The white words can be said to be the answer of the class representative.
"Well, my son is just ambitious, not bad! What about you, Wanqing, tell me how you feel? The emperor looked at the cold daughter who was calmly drinking tea next to him and said.
Wanqing slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and said darkly: "Father, you don't want to show the deep love between father and son, if you have any questions, ask them quickly, we have to go back to training quickly!" β
The emperor's face stiffened, his little daughter spoke like a needle, he had already learned many times, but he didn't expect to guess his intentions all of a sudden today, so he didn't pretend to be there, and asked directly:
"I heard from your senior brother that there is a big problem with the disaster relief materials, but is there such a thing?" The Emperor asked, looking at the two of them.
Bai Ci replied decisively: "Erchen did not participate in this disaster relief, so I don't know much about it......"
"Why, your boss didn't ask you to help?" The Emperor asked, puzzled.
"Help? He was afraid that it would be too late for us to cause trouble, so he drugged us at lunch, so that all these new disciples fell asleep, and by the time they woke up, their task had already been completed! β
Wanqing was angry when she thought of this, and she used such a "despicable" means to calculate them, if she was afraid that they would cause trouble, why let them practice hard for seven days, and still run all the way over, is it difficult to rush the number of people and open a row?
"Then you don't know about these things......" The emperor was a little disappointed, and it seemed that he couldn't ask the reason from their mouths.
Wanqing smiled at this time and replied: "That's not all, my good sister Xiao Lingran is also a new disciple, but she is smart, she didn't eat the drugged meal, and secretly followed them." β
"Oh? Isn't the widow going to invite her? His Majesty looked at Wanqing and said.
"You don't have to be like that, you can just ask me if you have any questions." Wanqing patted her chest and said.
The emperor watched her so rough movements, and he didn't know who she had learned from.
