Chapter XII
When I got home, I was just about to eat, and I ate the whole meal with a smile, and I was so happy that my appetite increased so much that I ate two bowls of rice. Aunt Song and Daddy thought it was strange, but when they saw me smiling, it wasn't a bad thing to think about it, so they didn't ask me. Actually, I can still eat it, but I thought that there was a big bag of pine cake in the house, so I simply put down my chopsticks.
In fact, I didn't dare to tell Daddy and Aunt Song at first that person was Chu Muxiu, that was His Majesty's younger brother, the dignified King of Tianyue, a real royal person, I don't know why Daddy didn't let me interact with the royal family since I was a child, I think Daddy has a lot of things hidden in his heart, but he never told me.
I went back to the house, sat in front of the mirror, and looked at myself repeatedly. I even wondered if my appearance was worthy of Chu Muxiu, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this, and I couldn't sleep when I laughed......
"Long live my emperor, long live." Every day on the fifth watch, all the ministers will enter the palace on time to discuss some national affairs.
Above the court, His Majesty is located in the dragon chair of the Ninety-Five, ten years later, he is already twenty-one years old, and he looks suave, and it is logical to set up his favorite Shen Suyi as the queen. Actually, I don't know what His Majesty's full name is, because except for the Queen Mother, no one dares to call His Majesty's full name, only that his surname is Chu, because he and Chu Muxiu are brothers. Later, I went to ask Aunt Song to find out that His Majesty's name was Chu Hanyuan, and Aunt Song also listened to my father......
His Majesty waved his sleeves, "All Aiqing will be flat!"
"What are you doing today...... Your Majesty stretched out his hand on the dragon case.
Daddy held the Chaowat in both hands, bowed his head and bent over, "Your Majesty, the drought in the north is serious, there has been no drop of water for several months, the rice grains of the border people have not been harvested, and there has been a famine. ”
"This ......"
Zhang Weizhi, the imperial historian, held the court like Daddy, "The minister thinks it's inappropriate, the border drought is serious, even if the people really don't harvest all year round, they can also plant other drought-tolerant grains and coarse grains to wrap their stomachs, and the treasury is not full, but it must be used on the tip of the knife." Moreover, the famine in the border areas has not yet been decided, and I wonder if anyone has deliberately spread rumors, and if this material is sent out, it will be clear to whom it will fall......"
"What does Zhang Yushi mean by this, could it be that someone in my south wants to swallow this Zhenliang material alone?" Daddy was anxious for a while, and refuted Lord Zhang regardless of the court.
Zhang Yushi looked fearless: "What is the prime minister talking about, you are the prime minister of a country, you are a high and powerful position, and the contemptible official position is below you, even if you give me ten guts, I don't dare to slander you wantonly!" ”
In the past few years, Zhang Yushi has relied on His Majesty's promotion to go smoothly, and he has been proud of the spring breeze in the court, and he doesn't take anyone in his eyes. Daddy is old, and he really can't help His Majesty, and people often chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that His Majesty doesn't let Daddy return to his hometown because he remembers the old feelings that Daddy assisted His Majesty before. Moreover, all the officials in the DPRK and China have their own little abacus in their hearts, and many people covet Daddy's high-ranking officials and are eyeing the position of prime minister......
"Don't argue, sixth brother, let's talk about it, how should this matter be decided?" His Majesty turned his head to Chu Muxiu, he couldn't just stand there in vain as a dignified prince, and he had to ask his opinion if he was doing so.
Chu Muxiu took a step forward: "What the two adults said is reasonable, but the younger brother agrees with what Prime Minister Nan said." Although Zhang Yushi said that the border people can grow other grains, but if you think about it, the border originally had sufficient water sources, but there was no rain in a few months this year, and that land was used to growing rice in paddy fields, and suddenly changed to other grains. What the people want is not the food for disaster relief, but a trace of His Majesty's care, the so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, and please make your own decision! Of course, Chu Muxiu knew that Zhang Yushi was in the same group as His Majesty, so naturally he couldn't help him speak, in fact, no matter who Chu Muxiu was today, he would say this.
"What the virtuous brother said is very reasonable, since the prime minister and King Yi have said so, I will definitely distribute the food and materials, as for which important minister in the court will go, I will consider it, and I will discuss it tomorrow morning." His Majesty has always complimented Chu Muxiu in front of everyone, and he wants to make the world feel that they are royal and harmonious, because the military power is in Chu Muxiu's hands, and to be honest, His Majesty does not dare to act rashly.
After the end of the early dynasty, all the officials withdrew from the hall one after another, and Zhang Yushi glanced at his father and left.
"Thank you so much just now, Your Highness, otherwise the old man would really not be able to get down the steps!" Daddy and Chu Muxiu walked out together.
"The prime minister doesn't need to be polite, who doesn't know what Lord Zhang is thinking, besides, what you said is reasonable, the pastoral cultivator just picked up a loophole and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha!"
"Your Highness is humble......"
"Master, master!" While chatting, I saw the butler hurrying over, panting and squatting with his hands on his knees.
"What's the butler's alarm, how did he chase here?" Daddy hurriedly asked the housekeeper Yu, not everyone can enter the palace at will, because the housekeeper Yu has the sign of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he gave the eldest brother of the guard a full five taels of silver before he fooled in.
"Oh, see Your Highness......"
Chu Muxiu waved his hand, "The housekeeper is so polite, why are you so alarmed!"
"Back to Your Highness, master, the kitchen in the house suddenly caught fire for some reason, the flame was majestic, the maids poured water with their lives, and the fire was not reduced by half, Miss, Miss She ......"
"What's wrong with Ah Candle, tell me quickly!" Daddy grabbed the cuffs of the housekeeper, and Daddy liked to grab other people's cuffs when he was in a hurry, regardless of men and women, just like the last time I ran away from marriage and he caught Mo'er.
Steward Yu lowered his head deeply, his face was almost touching the ground, and his legs trembled uncontrollably, "Listen, listen to Mo'er, Miss, Miss is still inside, I will enter the palace to find you in a hurry!"
"What are you talking about, this is a great ......" Daddy hurriedly visited Chu Muxiu, "Your Highness also heard it, the little girl is now in a sea of fire, and the family is in an emergency, so Nan will take the first step!" ”
Chu Muxiu blocked Daddy's way, "Hey Nan Prime Minister, wait a minute, I'll go with you!" ”
“…… Alright then, Your Highness, please come with me. Daddy was a little flattered, and felt that one more person would give him more strength, so he didn't say anything more.
"Ahem...... It's a lot of smoke, why can't this fire stop, I knew if I didn't know what to do with pine cake, it's really a crime in vain, Aunt Song, come and save me...... "The smoke in the kitchen is so smoky that I can't open my eyes, I squatted in the corner of the wall and covered my mouth and kept coughing, the whole kitchen is not lit anywhere, and the fire is getting bigger, I can't stop it at all, in fact, I can vaguely hear Aunt Song and Mo'er calling me outside, but they can't get in outside, and I can't get out inside." I couldn't help but be scared in my heart, afraid that I would die here, and then I would never see Daddy, Aunt Song, Mo'er, and Chu Muxiu again. Actually, I didn't like to cry, but the tears always fell dripping, and then I thought of my mother, although I have never seen my mother, but every time I am afraid and nervous, I will think of my mother.
I didn't know what kind of wind I smoked this morning, and I wanted to make Songhua cake on a whim, so I invited all the grandmothers in the kitchen out. I lit a fire in the stove by myself, and finally lit it, but I didn't think the fire was big enough, and when I heard that Mr. Storyteller mentioned that wine and oil can help the fire get bigger, I poured some pine oil into the stove violently, but I didn't expect a loud fire to ignite, and suddenly the fire burned higher than my body. I panicked and immediately splashed it with water, but I couldn't extinguish it, and in the end the water in the kitchen was splashed by me, and the fire was not extinguished at all, but it became more vigorous, and the sparks fell a little from time to time, so scared that I didn't dare to move......
"Ah Candle, what can I do about this, why hasn't the master come back yet?"
"Miss Jiren has her own natural appearance, Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless!"
Aunt Song stomped her feet in a panic, and Mo'er was praying to God and Buddha on the side, looking anxious, always looking at what was going on inside from time to time......
Daddy and Chu Muxiu hurriedly came, and Aunt Song ran to Daddy at once, "Master, you can be regarded as back, and His Royal Highness is also here!" ”
"How long has Candle been in there?"
"It's been almost a quarter of an hour!"
"Ah Candle...... "Daddy strides in and is about to come in and save me."
Butler Yu took Daddy's hand, "Master, the fire is too big?" ”
"How can I go, Ah Candle is still inside, and my daughter is still inside!"
Chu Muxiu touched the sword on his waist, "Steward Yu is right, the fire is too big, I'm afraid you can't save people, let me in!" ”
Daddy is worried that I am also worried about Chu Muxiu, "Your Highness's daughter's body, if it is a little missed, then it will be ......."
"It's okay, no matter how I say it, I'm also a person who has been on the battlefield, and I still have a bit of martial arts foundation, besides, I am young and hard-boned......"
"But ......"
"If you say one more word, your young lady will be in more danger!"
Daddy was so anxious that he actually knelt down for Chu Muxiu: "The old slave thanked His Highness first!" ”
My face was white with flour, but now it was black with smoke, and I couldn't imagine what the hell I was like now. Hearing the movement outside, I knew that Daddy must have come to save me, so I slowly stood up, opened my legs and tried to move away gently, but the room was full of white smoke, I wiped my eyes hard and couldn't see the road ahead, "Bang ......Dang" A burning pillar fell straight in front of me, I was so frightened that my feet suddenly became weak, you don't know that it was almost a little bit just now, if I took another step forward, maybe I would have to go down to see Hades.
After Chu Muxiu finished speaking, he rushed into the raging fire in the kitchen!
"Your Highness beware!" Daddy saw Chu Muxiu go in before he stood up.
"Master, this ......"
"I'm sure it'll be fine!"
Aunt Song is also as uneasy as Daddy, in addition to worrying about me, she also has to worry about Chu Muxiu, if something happens to him, our family will suffer......
