Chapter 341: Not as good as relative
"I know you're in a bad mood right now, and I'm not feeling well, and I didn't mean to bother you, but I did want to come and say sorry, I really didn't mean to......"
"If there is nothing important, please leave first, there are so many things in the city, I think you don't have so much free time to spend here with me." Murong Lin said one more word, and Feng Xiaoyue's face became gloomy.
This matter is undoubtedly a pain in Feng Xiaoyue's heart for so long, not only ruining the reason she has cultivated over the years, but even beginning to doubt her own psychology, but Murong Lin still has to pick it out so openly, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
There is no need to explain it at all, and there is no need for Murong Lin to distinguish whether it is intentional or deliberate, but Murong Lin can deal with so many complex and thorny disputes, but he can't turn a corner in this matter.
Feng Xiaoyue's angry chest couldn't help but rise and fall slightly, and then she didn't know if she was angry or she remembered something and felt shy, and a faint red appeared on her face inexplicably.
Such a cute appearance, and the serious posture she deliberately showed, just formed two extremes. Murong Lin was puzzled, and he didn't dare to think in a good direction because of guilt, so he had to obediently respond and express what he wanted to talk about in the most concise words.
The only one here who doesn't know anything and is an outsider, this can be regarded as sensing that something is wrong with the atmosphere, and knowing that he shouldn't seem to be here, he pulled Xiaoyun to pick up fruit under the tree outside.
"I was going to go out to inspect as usual this morning, but I saw Uncle Huang hurriedly coming to the door," Murong Lin was afraid that he would make Feng Xiaoyue's heart unhappy again, so he lowered his head and looked at the tea in the cup and spoke.
"You know that a character like Uncle Huang, one of the things that likes Xianyun Yehe Nanxiao the most is that she is so panicked must be very rare and tricky."
"King Han? Your Highness. Feng Xiaoyue paused, but anyone who had contact with Murong Xi and had clear ears and eyes could see that he was not an ordinary person, and it was impossible for him to be content with just being an idle prince who eats, drinks and has fun.
With the power accumulated behind him, if there was really something that threatened him, he would definitely not ask others to help, then this time there was only the idea that someone might be fighting the domain again.
"But is there any moth in the domain?"
"You guessed right." Murong Lin nodded, "I don't know where Uncle Huang got the news, I heard that the imperial court intends to collect the grain from various feudal domains for military supplies." ”
"Uncle Huang had already informed the palace of the news before he came, and my father was also convening people to discuss, and Uncle Huang didn't want others to come over and the news was unclear, so he came to our courtyard in person."
"You should be in charge of this matter, so why do you want to find me?" Feng Xiaoyue was at ease, but she still didn't understand Murong Lin's intentions. It shouldn't be possible for him to be so frizzy, just to apologize to himself for an excuse, so he rushed over.
Murong Lin looked up at her, his lips squirmed lightly twice unconsciously, and he spit out a few words, "The food side-"
"I see." Feng Xiaoyue had these words of reminder, and quickly thought about the reason, and quickly interrupted his later words, but she was a little disappointed in her heart.
"This matter is not trivial, a little careless, this is related to the livelihood of the people in the entire Yanwu Eleven City, it is absolutely impossible for us to make a decision between words, is His Royal Highness the King of Han still there now?"
"Yes, just sit outside." Murong Lin responded, "Originally, considering that the situation on your side might be special, I specially asked him to wait outside for a while first, so as not to disturb you." ”
"It would have been inconvenient if you had brought him directly earlier, but now that I've packed up, you can take me with you to meet him."
Feng Xiaoyue said "um", flicked her sleeves and got up and was about to go outside, but when she looked down, she saw Murong Lin sitting in place stunned, not moving.
"I can still distinguish between right and wrong, put aside personal grievances for the time being, and I will settle accounts with you in the future, why don't you leave now?" Feng Xiaoyue didn't need to think twice to know what he was thinking at the moment, and felt a light cough wake up Murong Lin.
Murong Lin somehow felt depressed in his heart, and because of her words, Shu Shu changed a lot, raised a relieved smile, and went to the small courtyard in front with her.
Murong Xi sat on a bamboo chair in the small courtyard, counting the small branches of the bare trees in front of him that only had a few young shoots, and knocking on the table, thinking about the adoption and distribution of food in his heart.
Just as he was calculating the number and approximate size, Murong Xi suddenly heard the footsteps of two people in his ears, turned his head to look, and happened to see Murong Lin and Feng Xiaoyue walking side by side.
Feng Xiaoyue had a lot of thoughts today, so she specially asked Xiao Yu to find this set of light blue clothes and press it so that she could continue to stay calm. And Murong Lin was not very happy, so he deliberately changed into the blue robe that he usually kept in the depths of the cabinet.
The two of them did not have any discussion, but the colors of the clothes complemented each other perfectly, Murong Xi only glanced at it, and then withdrew his eyes, only to feel that he was invisibly provoked, and his mood could only be worse than the two who came over.
As soon as he heard that he was both drunk last night, and he was sent back by Gu Zeyuan, Zhang Fengyu, and An Jing after repeated tossing and turning, Murong Xi unconsciously found that he seemed to have found something amazing.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Han." Feng Xiaoyue walked to the front and bowed politely, her tone was even more indifferent than usual.
It was the first time Murong Xi heard such a special greeting, and he swallowed back deeply the words that he was in an unhappy mood and wanted to ridicule Feng Xiaoyue for being his nephew and daughter-in-law.
"I haven't seen the princess for many days, and the princess's demeanor is still the same, but just listening to the tone of the princess's speech, it is colder than my title of the cold king."
None of the people present were so interested that they could appreciate Murong Xi's ridicule. Feng Xiaoyue only felt that Murong Xi in front of her seemed to be a different person, and Murong Lin had to frown and remind him.
"Uncle Huang, don't be joking, I called Xiaoyue here but I have something serious to say."
"I know, at first glance, the two of you are just as boring, as if it were such a monstrous event." Murong Xi sighed twice with a slight disgust.
From Murong Lin's tone, it can be heard that the two of them are afraid that they will break up unhappily, and they are really incompetent. Thinking of this, Murong Xi couldn't help but feel a little more happy at the moment.
"Murong Lin only told me about the imperial court's seizure of grain, but I haven't asked the specific details yet, can I ask His Royal Highness King Han to tell me what the reason is?"
Without Murong Xi's instructions, this place is also her own yard after all, Feng Xiaoyue sat down by herself, Murong Lin sat directly opposite her, and then a small servant came up to offer tea and snacks.
"Today, the emperor has made a lot of money and spent money, the treasury is already empty, and so many troops in the court need food and salary, where the domain is only at the time of festivals, the supply is not enough to fill, and the emperor will use this name to come out to levy."
Murong Xi leaned on the bamboo chair, twisted a piece of osmanthus cake with one hand, and was not in a hurry to eat it, but only used his fingertips to crush the cake into crumbs little by little and fell to the ground, attracting ants from afar to rush over to carry it.
Arranging the emperor's words like this, the princes of various domains dare not say it so clearly, and only a person with a special identity like him can say it so clearly.
"Is this the reason released by the imperial court, or did you guess it yourself, prince?" Feng Xiaoyue sneered softly, "For such a reason, can you trust it, prince?" ”
"Your Majesty needs to collect food everywhere, and this one reason is enough, where is the need for his subordinates to believe that what he said is true or false." Murong Xi shook the osmanthus cake stuck to his hand and put it aside, and then Liuyi took a wet handkerchief and came over to wipe him.
"If it's really because of this, you don't have to be so nervous." Feng Xiaoyue was noncommittal to Murong Xi's words, and only raised her head and looked at Murong Lin.
"The reason why they came to me is because most of the food is controlled by Qi Yuanwai, although I am useless, I can also contribute. However, even though I am a member of my own family, I still have to ask for my opinions, and I thank you for your frankness and thoughtfulness. ”
"However, in addition, the prestige of the royal palace in the eleven cities of the domain has accumulated a lot over the years, and the people's trust in the prince is also from the heart, and the imperial court does not want to cause public anger, so it will definitely not set a particularly high number,"
In this way, it is not difficult to get this food. His Royal Highness King Han, such a person who has seen a big scene, would he also come to the door in a hurry for such a reason? ”
After that, Feng Xiaoyue wrote the past with one look, and she could see Murong Xi who was acting quite freely. Murong Xi only smiled when he heard this, snatched the handkerchief in Liuyi's hand and wiped it himself, and then threw it on the table next to him.
"If the princess wants to have this guess, there is one over there. The princess can also continue to talk about it, what else is there to make a fuss about. ”
When the words landed, Murong Lin was inevitably a little uneasy and wanted to say something, but was pushed back by Murong Xi.
"The terrain of the domain is not good, and the people have to act according to the will of God if they want to barely survive, and the imperial court has not looked down on it before, so it has not been treated harshly, why is it abnormal this time?"
Feng Xiaoyue held the cup in one hand and clenched it into a fist with the other on her knee. "That is, the situation in the domain has improved, and the imperial court has known about it."
