Chapter 687: Yangzhou Skinny Horse
The next day she woke up and went back to the house where her peers were held, who seemed to be numb and were not touched by what had happened to her, except for the sister who occasionally took care of her.
But even so, with the mother's order not to let her eat, the sister did not dare to disobey. Xia Nianyu could only wake up after a night of whipping, she was hungry for another day, and she woke up again, and the moment she touched the water, it was like a person who had lived in the desert for many days and finally saw an oasis, she held the kettle and hurriedly swallowed.
"Drink slowly, I said it a long time ago, don't tease my mother, as long as we are honest and have food and clothing, what's the bad thing."
The sister seems to have accepted her fate, and still or really thinks that living in the Qinglou is the best choice.
Xia Nianyu drank enough water, wiped her mouth rudely with her sleeve, and didn't say a word, she didn't think so, she was the princess of Dachen, how could the most noble woman in the world except for the queen mother fall to that pickled place.
"Where are we going?"
Regardless of the faint pain from the wounds on her body, Xia Nianyu sat up with the wall of the carriage, her eyes were red when she smelled the familiar red bean crisp, and she wanted to cry.
When she has the opportunity to return to the palace in the future, she will no longer dislike the dim sum made by the imperial chef is not delicious.
"I should be going to Yangzhou, and I listened to my mother's conversation, as if she wanted to send us to that place to learn something."
In the end, it's still the age of a child.,That's all I can understand.,In the eyes of this sister.,It's rare to be able to learn.,No matter what you learn, you always have a livelihood in the future.。
"Yangzhou?"
Xia Nianyu, the name of this place, had heard it in his father's mouth before, and it seemed to be a recital sent by the minister, and he had already known that he had listened carefully to it at that time, but now he has no impression at all.
"Hmph, what kind of learning things, this is to sell us and give it to that big family as concubines."
The girl who spoke was the oldest of these children, and she was also the most open-looking, and she showed her face several times in front of her mother, and she had more information in her hand than others.
They were all curious years, and when they heard her say this, they leaned over and asked a gossip.
Xia Nianyu couldn't really hear what he said, and only vaguely heard the word thin horse.
Skinny horses? Could it be that they were sent to Yangzhou specifically to raise horses?
Xia Nianyu didn't know, she wanted to know more, but her body was not angry, and she fainted again after a while as the carriage swayed.
……
Three days later, the depths of winter are approaching, and it is the time for all things to grow.
Dachen is a big agricultural country, this time of year is the busiest time for the imperial court, this year because of the disappearance of the eldest princess and more trouble, the city gate is blocked, causing panic among the people, and the minister reports the matter.
"Ridiculous! What if you open the city gate at this time and let the gangsters go?! ”
Xia Jingnian was so angry that he threw the recital on the desk, stood up very irritably, and made a gesture to dismiss the minister's recital, but was stopped by Su Xiang as soon as he took action.
"The saint is angry, what Li Shangshu said is reasonable, now it is the time of the harvest, and the traders below are going south and north to buy last season's crops, and continuing to close the city gate is only afraid that this year's business will be delayed."
Su Xiang took a step forward, folded his hands and lowered his head to persuade reasonably.
"Su Xiang's words are reasonable, but please think twice."
"The minister seconded the proposal, and I hope the saint will think twice."
Su Xiang took the lead, and the rest of the ministers knelt down and begged the emperor to withdraw the order of the city.
In order to find the eldest princess, the entire capital was in chaos, and the two of them did not hesitate to use all their forces to find the eldest princess regardless of the affairs of the court and the harem.
This is human nature, but Xia Jingnian is not only a father, but also the emperor of this great time, and he needs to put the country first and the family second.
"You, you, presumptuous!"
Everybody's pushing him, everybody's pushing him!
Xia Jingnian was angry, picked up the object around him and slammed it on the ground.
In the past few days, in order to find Xia Nianyu, Xia Jingnian can be said to have been personally involved, and it can be estimated that he has not slept for nearly five days, and the major events of the country and Ji Qiang's body have made him more worried and irritable.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, most of the people below were panicked, but for the sake of the people, they still knelt on the ground and did not threaten their lives.
Since Xia Jingnian ascended the throne, he has resounded all over the world as a holy monarch, although he is angry in his heart, he knows that what they say makes sense, and he can't give orders to anger, so he can only flick his sleeves and turn around and leave.
The prince was guarding outside the palace, and when he saw him coming out violently, he hurriedly followed, and did not dare to say more.
Unlike usual, when he got off the court, he went to Fengluan Palace, Xia Jingnian spent most of his time in Jinluan Palace, and only returned to Fengluan Hall at night.
This change, the people in the harem saw it in their eyes, and couldn't help but wonder if the emperor and queen had a dislike because of the eldest princess.
As soon as he returned to the Jinluan Palace, Fang Ping came over.
"On the sage, there is no news of the eldest princess in the entire capital, I'm afraid it's ......" Speaking of this, Fang Ping glanced up at him in embarrassment, and paused for two seconds before continuing, "I'm afraid the eldest princess is no longer in the capital." ”
Xia Jingnian had already thought of this possibility, leaned back with his eyes closed, leaned on the dragon chair and waved his hand exhaustedly.
"I know, do you know this news from the Fengluan Palace?"
"The subordinates rushed to report as soon as they returned to the palace, and they haven't been to the Fengluan Palace yet."
In the past few days, the queen's mental condition has been seen by everyone, how dare Fang Ping poke her heart at such a time.
"Okay, don't tell the queen for now."
Xia Jingnian rubbed his temples tiredly, he was too busy these days to take care of rest, and his mind couldn't turn around.
"Holy Lord, I don't see that your face is not very good, but do you want to pass the imperial doctor to take a look?"
The prince who had always been paying attention to this side proposed with some concern, he had not rested for five days, and Rao is saint couldn't stand it, not to mention that the saint was just a mortal fetus in the flesh, so how could he hold it.
It's just that the prince didn't dare to say it truthfully.
Xia Jingnian thought for a moment, and was about to nod when he heard a disturbance outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong! Mother, mother, fainted again! ”
Listening to Xi'er's voice, Rao has not changed his habit of babbling after entering the palace for so long, which is Ji Qiang's intimate protection at all times.
Xia Jingnian's ears and eyes were smart, so he naturally heard Xi'er's words clearly, and stood up suddenly, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost didn't stand firmly, until he helped the desk to get better.
This frightened Fang Ping and Wang Gonggong, and they were about to rush over, but as soon as they made a move, they were stopped by Xia Jingnian waving his hand, holding his forehead and frowning at Xi'er.
