Chapter 279: War (3)

After listening to the content of today's quarrel in the court, Shen Wan said to Cui Shanggong: "Go and open the treasury, and take out all those jade Ruyi, gold and silverware, antique calligraphy and paintings." ”

"Mother, this is going to be ......"

Shen Wan said lightly: "The battle must be fought, and the victims must also be saved." ”

Cui Shanggong bowed: "Weichen understands. Then he went to open the treasury, took out all those things, and said to Shen Wan: "Even the queen mother has taken out these ladders, presumably those ladies in the harem will naturally donate one after another." ”

The corners of Shen Wan's lips rose slightly, and she smiled silently.

When the queen presented her body to the emperor through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the women of the harem donated money to help the victims of the flood. After some calculations, the value of these things turned out to be 400,000 taels of silver, enough to cope for a while. But it can't completely solve this flood.

With these silver taels, Xichen promoted a seven-grade official who was far away in Bingzhou to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, such a transfer is really too conjectural, but insiders know that this newly trusted Ministry of Industry Shangshu Qian Yi is a former protégé of Shen Xiang.

Qian Yi immediately rushed to the disaster area with the 400,000 taels of silver, and quickly brought the situation under control, and all the victims were transferred by the 10th day of July, and the local officers and soldiers stationed in the area were also organized to fight the flood and provide disaster relief.

The news soon spread to the capital, and the foreign court finally breathed a sigh of relief, even if the dreary weather in Kyoto did not make people feel too depressed. In addition, the western region is now temporarily resting, but the northern country is obviously superior, so Xichen and those officials will finally not feel too much pressure.

Another dusk after the rain, Xichen walked to the outside of the palace after finishing her political affairs, she hesitated at the door again, but this time she did not walk away, but stepped into the gate of the palace.

Shen Wan was holding Zhao'er outside to teach him to speak, she had no other hobbies during this time, except for teaching Zhao'er to speak. However, Zhao'er seems to be very dissatisfied with her, often ignoring her, and sometimes simply returning the favor with white eyes. Shen Wan was helpless by her, but Zhao'er has been seven months now, why is there no sign of making a sound, it's really anxious!

The exhausted Shen Wan almost raised her hand to surrender, when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, she thought it was Cui Shanggong, so she said helplessly: "Alas, why hasn't this kid spoken up yet?" Even the simplest fathers and mothers can't say it! I'm really in a hurry......" The person behind didn't react, she looked back with a bitter face, and what she saw was not Cui Shanggong, but Chu Xichen.

Shen Wan was stunned, stupidly didn't know what to do, Zhao'er in her arms turned her little face to Xichen, and actually laughed, and called out in a milky voice: "Father!" Although the voice was not loud and a little vague, Shen Wan and Xichen both heard it, and both of them were stunned.

Xichen was the first to come over and asked, "Did I hear it wrong?" Zhao'er...... He just ......"

Shen Wan almost cried with joy, shook Zhao'er and said, "Zhao'er, you call again, call again!" But Zhao'er quickly shut up and didn't make any more sounds, just opened her big round eyes and looked at the two of them funny.

After coaxing for a long time, Zhao'er just refused to speak again, Xichen and Shen Wan let out a long sigh, looked at each other, and then laughed helplessly.

After a long time, Xichen raised his hand and stroked Shen Wan's forehead, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?" Shen Wan's face was slightly hot, it was really strange, at this time, would she blush?

Xichen smiled mildly and said, "Thank you for relieving my worries, if it weren't for your help, how could I get the 400,000 taels of disaster relief silver!" Looking at Shen Wan's slightly red cheeks, she said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Shen Wan sighed softly, but tears also filled her eyes: "Alas, Your Majesty, between you and me, why do you need to say thank you?" ”

Xichen bent down, kissed her face gently, and whispered, "In addition to thanks, I'm sorry." ”

Shen Wan's tears suddenly welled up, holding Zhao'er in one hand, and Xichen tightly in the other, muttering: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm sorry......" He sobbed and couldn't speak, and the tears kept flowing until Zhao'er howled impatiently.

Xichen let go of her, looked at Zhao'er, and said with a smile: "This little thing is really torturous, let's go back to the main hall." ”

Helping Shen Wan to get up, Xichen personally hugged Zhao'er, and the two walked in together, Qingyue and the others saw the two people who came in together, and they were so surprised that they forgot to salute. It wasn't until the two of them walked into the inner hall that Qingyue and the others asked each other in a panic, "The ...... just now Is it the emperor? Is it the emperor? Oops, the emperor is here! The emperor is finally here! After a mess of panic, they finally regained their composure and began to prepare dinner.

Put Zhao'er back in the rocking car for the nurse to watch, Xichen personally pulled Shen Wan to sit on the edge of the bed, looked at it again and again, and sighed: "Wanwan has lost weight, it's all my fault." ”

Shen Wan shook her head with a light smile, but said in a resentful tone: "You snubbed me so much, it will be three months long to put me down!" That's it, but you're ...... I was so lucky with that girl! ”

Xichen lightly nodded her nose and said with a smile: "I thought my queen was broad-minded, but I didn't expect to eat this dry vinegar for no reason!" Hehe, let me tell you the truth, if she is a concubine, she is really an innocent child who doesn't understand anything. Although I said that I favored her, whether it was in the Qiangong or in Shen Mengxuan, I never touched her, at most I just slept with her in peace. ”

Shen Wan was taken aback and looked at him puzzled: "You guys are really just ...... What about her? ”

Xichen smiled and said, "No one has taught her this, and no one will take the initiative to tell her this, how can she understand?" Probably she always thought that this would be the case if she was pampered by me, right? ”

Shen Wan thought for a while, and suddenly sighed: "In vain, she has been burdened for so long...... Alas! In the harem, everyone is blushing at her," and then she smiled bitterly: "You really do a lot of love for her, even the pearl necklace that Xiao Wumian brought back, you gave it to her." I almost misunderstood you, too. ”

Xichen kissed her cheek again and said softly, "I'm sorry." If Wan Wan likes it, I ask her to come over. ”

Shen Wan pushed him away and said coldly: "I don't want it, what others have used ......"

Xichen pretended to be surprised and said, "When did Wanwan become so stingy? Shouldn't good things be shared? ”

Shen Wan was stunned, but said: "If it was before, I could have shared it with others very generously, but now, I don't want to share it with others anymore!" Love is selfish and does not allow for false sharing. ”
