Outside the east gate of Beijing, yellow dust flies on a dirt road

Hundreds of soldiers trotted out

Not far from Beijing, thousands of refugees living on the ground were numbly watching these new soldiers change their guards with the soldiers who had previously watched and forbade them to enter Beijing casually

This year, the wind and rain in the capital and the northerner places were relatively smooth, but to the south, there were floods at every turn, and the floods were hundreds of miles away, and it happened to be the season when the crops were about to ripen, and a large number of refugees flocked to it almost overnight

Summer has come, in order to prevent the plague, the refugees must not be able to enter Beijing, and many people with heads and faces in the capital have set up porridge sheds outside Beijing to make people congee, and the palace is no exception

A swaying carriage came out of the small door and slowly walked up the post road

The refugees were not allowed to go on the post road, and looking at this beautifully decorated carriage, they couldn't help but show envy one by one

They can only barely survive on the gruel that people give them every day, but these nobles in the capital can live a life of enjoyment, obviously they are all human beings, why are there such big differences in treatment

An old boy in the crowd who had read for a few years angrily brushed a rusty goatee and scolded: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

"Uncle him, don't say it," Lao Tongsheng's daughter-in-law carefully pulled the corner of his clothes: "If it weren't for these nobles' alms, we would have starved to death a long time ago, don't let people hear about it, and we won't be able to get food at night."

Because this uncle is a scholar's "boiling" and "cynical", their family is faintly excluded from the refugee group, and others don't like them, and this little daughter-in-law can't help but regret why she was obsessed with her heart and had to marry into their family

The people in the carriage had no idea what people were pointing at her

She lowered her eyes slightly, sat quietly on the carriage, and the string of smooth black and red ebony Buddhist beads she held in her hand swayed rhythmically back and forth as the carriage moved forward

The carriage traveled farther and farther and farther and gradually came to a pear blossom forest

At the intersection of the forest, there were two peasant guards with straw hats, and when they saw the carriage, they immediately stopped: "Stop here, this is the private property of Suigetsu Nunnery, and outsiders are not accepted."

"Inside is the lady from the palace, this is the holy master's edict to allow the lady to come to the water moon hermitage to incense," the coachman took out the oracle from his bosom and handed it to the two farmers

The two farmers were illiterate, but the Suigetsu Nunnery was an imperial hermitage, and if someone from the palace came to the incense, they would always inform them a few days in advance, and they would not come in such a hurry

However, they are not completely ignorant, and the seal granted to the royal seal above is not deceptive, and it should be true

"This ...... We went to ask the master inside, and the nobles were still bothered to wait here, "The two peasants can't be the master, and they want to go back and say goodbye."

At this time, the plain blue curtain was lifted inside, and a thin face with a bright style in the wind was revealed

"No need to go to the court, it's me who came back, I'm here to pray for the holy illness and pray in front of the Bodhisattva, you don't have to stop me," the woman said casually, looking at the two peasants

"Yes...... Isn't this Yan Niangzi?" these two peasants are figures with heads and faces among the tenant farmers of Shuiyue Nunnery, and they once saw Yan Shuyu who led the cultivation in Shuiyue Nunnery, and they recognized her immediately

"I'm a talented person," Yan Shuyu on the carriage brushed over the two peasants with sharp eyes, making them involuntarily stop

"Talent...... Cailiang, you can go in," the two peasants did not dare to block the way out of the way

When the carriage of the talented man walked away, the two peasants muttered, "So the holy dragon has a feint."

"Hey, what are you doing so much, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is in charge of things now," the other muttered

Not long after Yan Shuyu's carriage entered, a white-faced boy dressed as a eunuch riding a small donkey came in a hurry

"I'm tired of the two of us just now...... Is our master in......" The little eunuch seemed to be in a hurry, and said a word and gasped

"This father-in-law, your master is in."

"Has the master explained anything to you?"

"Didn't explain anything"

It seemed to ease up a little, the little eunuch raised his eyebrows on the donkey's back, sat up straight, and pinched his voice with his face high, and said: "Our master is from the palace, and she must have explained something to you, but you fools can't hear it, so don't hurry up and learn what our master said to our family one by one."

The two peasants looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes, this eunuch had a long nose to his eyes, and he really didn't take others seriously

However, the two of them couldn't afford to offend the two of them, and these palace leaders could only honestly learn everything to this little eunuch

This little eunuch smashed it, smashed it, and his mouth was full of smugness: "I'll just say, let's go back to the palace to do something for Niangniang" He said intoxicated, and then looked at the two farmers like two bedbugs: "You two remember not to talk nonsense in front of Niangniang, if you let Niangniang know that I came to ask you before I went to do something, be careful of your heads"

slapped the little donkey's buttocks, and the little eunuch left with a bang

The two peasants looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the little eunuch played, but they could probably guess that the little eunuch didn't want them to learn from the former Yan Niangzi and the current talent

The things in the palace are too lazy for the people to mix with them, and they just don't know

The little eunuch ran out four miles to a dense green gauze tent, jumped in, and after a while, he came out, and the clothes on the person were still the same as those of the same person, but they were replaced by ordinary little people's

The donkey boy walked for a while before arriving at the soup kitchen in the refugee settlement

The Yanwang Mansion and the Lingzhu Mansion were close to each other, and the porridge sheds of the two mansions were set up together

And the Zhongwang Mansion and the Lingzhu Mansion are in-laws, and the sheds of the two families are also connected together, and the three have just formed a triangle

At this time, it is not yet time to put the rice, but the water on the cauldron has already begun to boil, and the rice is ready to be served

Shui Mu has been helping the three towns near the porridge shed of the soup kitchen these days, and the little guy in the town came directly to Shui Mu and replied: "The prince inquired about the talented person in the carriage, and she said that she came to Shuiyue Nunnery to pray for the emperor."

His voice was crisp and pleasant, and it was a beautiful young man's voice, which was completely different from the eunuch voice when he communicated with the peasants

Shui Mu's brows furrowed tightly

"You go to the Yanwang Mansion and say," Shui Mu commanded

"Are you going to Beijing or Zhuangzi," the little guy asked smartly

"I went to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in Zhuangzi, and besides, I can't tell anyone else," Shui Mu hurriedly explained, and Yan Qingge couldn't let Yan Qingge know about this matter anyway

This matter was told by the eldest princess of Roufu, and asked him to inquire, just tell the eldest princess of Roufu

Ling Xiao learned in his ear every day that Yan Qingge's birth was not very good, and now the entire Yanwang Mansion was waiting for him, for fear that Yan Qingge would have some problems, and he would never let Yan Qingge bother and grudge with the Yanwang Mansion

Not long after this little guy left, Shui Mu didn't stay here anymore, and rode back to the capital directly

Ling Xiao saw Shui Mu coming back so early today and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"It's okay" handed his wife a relieved smile, Shui Mu asked Xiang Lingxiao: "Ask someone to prepare a gift, I'll go to Yuefu to have a look"

"Brother Shui Mu" Ling Xiao suddenly called again

As soon as Shui Mu turned around, he saw Ling Xiao with a sad expression on his face

The husband and wife looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while

"You...... Are you hiding something from me," Ling Xiao asked after working hard for a long time, his eyes were already red

Shui Mu's heart felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he took Ling Xiao in his arms: "What are you thinking about, I just don't understand something, I want to ask Le Gongzi"

"Father-in-law was like this before the accident, do you remember, the few people in the imperial court who grabbed the throne and the world was in chaos, and there was a flood in the southwest, and my father-in-law gave porridge to the homeless people, and then looked for staff everywhere, and then locked us up......" Ling Xiao said incoherently, but how could Shui Mu not understand

The damage caused to Ling Xiao by Shui Mu's father's incident was not ordinary, Ling Xiao was already pregnant for almost half a year, and the child was tortured and lost her body, and she has not recovered until now

When Ling Xiao mentioned this, the sense of urgency in Shui Mu's heart was even stronger, and he could also feel that the dark clouds above the capital were getting denser and denser

"I am me, I will not follow my father's old path," Shui Mu comforted his wife softly and held her in his arms: "Whoever is against me in the world can't be against me"

"I'm so worried about Roca...... Le Gongzi's father immigrated the most barbarians in Qingzhou, and Yan Xiaowang is the king of Qiu, and the barbarians listen to him the most, almost a hundred responses, Qingge is such an idea, praying mantis, catching cicadas, and yellow finches, I am so afraid, I am afraid of you...... Can you please stop associating with the people of Lejia for the time being?"

Listening to the murmuring and crying of his wife in his arms, Shui Mu stood upside down with hair on his back

She was obviously such a good sister with Yan Qingge, but now she said such words, how could his heart not be heavy

It was the first time he had heard his wife say such "truthful words" to him

Is it really going to change?
