The words brought back the people who were so excited that they were dizzy, and everyone was a little uneasy.

The prince is right, only the Son of Heaven can call long live, they shouted like that when they were excited just now, if they heard it to someone with a heart and told the saint where they went, they would not be a rebel......

Seeing that everyone was aware of the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Xiao explained: "Everyone's excitement can be understood by this king, after a long time of disaster and famine, seeing that the Holy God sent food to naturally rejoice, everyone wants to express the Holy God's heart for the people, long live the wisdom, I think everyone can understand." ”

The steps were paved, and there were many smart people in the crowd, who nodded in agreement.

"What the prince said is right, what the big guy wants to say is the saint is wise!"

"Thanks to the Holy One, we can survive!"

The people who had returned to God also agreed.

But in the face of the loyal prince who gave them grain and grass and helped them cover up, the admiration and gratitude in his heart were indescribable, the mountains were high and the road was far away, the emperor didn't care about them, and it was the prince who was wronged and suppressed who really helped them.

It is rumored that Prince Zhongshun was stripped of his military power and official position, and was even beaten in public by the Holy Lord on the Jinluan Palace, for a trumped-up crime. Now the prince is still dedicated to speaking for the saint and thinking about the people, but the sincere heart of such a benevolent and righteous person has been trampled on in every way. The people all felt that it was not worth it.

"Lord Wang." At this moment, the gates of the old capital were opened, and a man of the same age as the old man in his regular clothes and a dark gray cotton cloak walked quickly with a group of entourage.

"Yun Yancai, the prefect of the old capital of Xiaguan, see the prince."

Everyone behind Yun Yancai also saluted.

Where can the dignified prefect make a big salute, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug each other, "Lord Yun doesn't need to be polite, it was the king's mistake that disrupted the order of the old capital, and I ask Lord Yun to bear more." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Yun Yancai's eyes.

There are several sayings in the old capital generation, some say that Prince Zhongshun kills people without blinking, and some praise him for loving the people like a son. No matter how many rumors there are, it is not as direct as the real experience of seeing people.

He didn't know anything else, but being a prince was an opportunity to be a man, and the name of benevolence and righteousness outside was not necessarily a false name.

Now that I see it, I find that this person is really good at life.

The dignified prince, in front of his small prefect, was so polite, gave him enough dignity, and earned enough goodwill in front of the people, it was really true, he was a wonderful person.

Yun Yancai respectfully returned the salute, stretched out his hand sideways to make a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "The prince is really too polite, it is late for the lower officials to greet him, the prince, please enter the city." ”

With his head bowed, he walked in front with Qin Yining, and a group of people followed him into the old capital.

Looking at the familiar streets, after several wars and famines, the old capital is no longer as prosperous as when Qin Yining returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning of the year, and now it is the coldest time of the year, and the falling snow has paved a snow-white layer on the roof, street, and wall, and it is gray everywhere, which makes people feel cold and lonely.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have prepared the prefect's yamen, please don't dislike the princess and move to the yamen to rest?"

"Thank you, Lord Yun, for your kindness. However, this king has already ordered people to come and make preparations, and the humble Jing mother's family has a house here, and she has not lived in it for a long time, and this king plans to accompany her back to see. ”

"I see, the princess is from the old capital, and the lower officials have forgotten it." Yun Yancai smiled and said: "If the prince has any orders, just open your mouth, and the lower officials will definitely do it for you." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled, "There is nothing else, Lord Yun is ready, the grain and grass purchased by this king in advance will arrive in the next two days, first use the grain brought by this king to make porridge, so that the people can eat a full meal first, and they don't have to be too stingy with food, and there will be food delivery from Ming'er left and right." ”

Yun Yancai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the next official will do it." ”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said: "In addition to fixed porridge sheds, such as broken temples in the city, abandoned houses with no one must prepare firewood for the homeless people to keep warm. The people who had families in the old capital could say that if they fled nearby, they would not even have a place to escape the cold during the New Year. ”

In fact, before their group arrived, the city had already disposed of a batch of corpses. On the outskirts of the city, where there is always smoke and dust, is the place where the corpses are burned. Just like when the earth dragon turned over, in order to prevent the epidemic, the corpse had to be burned.

Fortunately, after the outbreak of the famine, it gradually entered a harsh winter, and if we catch up with the middle of summer, I am afraid that in addition to the famine, the epidemic will be even more difficult.

Xiao Xiao and Yun Yan only told each other, and then went to the Qin Mansion with Qin Yining.

Yun Yancai had a master beside him who was not confused and dressed as a scribe, so he smiled and said, "How do you look at this prince?" Is it really the same as what Shopkeeper Qiu said? ”

"Whether it's the same or not, it's not like he's lying for the sake of the people. If it is fake, it will be able to perform the play so realistically along the way, and it is really not easy. ”

Yun Yancai led his subordinates to prepare according to what Xiao Xiao said.

Qin Yining returned to the Qin Mansion with Xiao Xiao.

They are in the capital, but Qin Yining has never forgotten to repair here. Although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, and has experienced famine, the shopkeeper Zhong Da has been in the grange of the old capital, and often comes back next to the people in the village to check, and let people look at the house carefully, because when she and Xiao Xiao and her party returned, the house was clean and tidy, as if they had only gone out for less than an hour and returned home.

The guards of the palace and the Jinghu guards stood in front of the palace gate, and as soon as Xiao Xiao ordered to open the door, the door of the palace was pushed open, and the shopkeeper Zhong Da greeted him with a group of familiar faces, and happily saluted Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao.

"See the prince, see the princess."

"Shopkeeper Zhong, please get up quickly." Qin Yining hurriedly stepped forward to help, and nodded to Lu Dehan, Liu Jiu'er and the others who looked excited behind Zhong Da's shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "It's great that you are all here, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?" ”

"Okay, all right, thanks to the princess taking care of us, we work on the Zhuangzi, and Ningyuan has also planted terraces, although the season is not good, but it is so self-sufficient that it can feed many people." Liu Jiu'er is still hearty, and she doesn't squirm when she sees Qin Yining.

Lu Dehan saw Xiao Xiao on the side, and at first he was a little restrained, but Liu Jiu'er and the woman were so open, there was no reason for him to be cautious.

It was Lu Dehan who also said bluntly: "It's really thanks to the princess and the shopkeeper Zhongda." During this time, not only our Zhuangzi, but also the workers in the factory under the princess were also well taken care of. ”

Qin Yining looked at the shopkeeper Zhong Da with a smile and said with a smile: "I'm busy in the capital, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so I often can't take care of here." The factory was shut down, and the big guys had nowhere to go, thanks to the shopkeeper Zhong Da to find a way. ”

The shopkeeper Zhong smiled and arched his hand: "Before coming out, the princess gave everything to the old man. Most of the workers in the factory are the victims who were rescued in the past, as well as the soldiers and family members who once followed the prince to fight and were disabled. It is precisely because of the prince and the princess that they have laid a good foundation that it is more convenient for the old man to act. ”

Qin Yining smiled and said, "You are still so modest. ”

Shopkeeper Zhong blushed a little, but he was happy in his heart. has followed Qin Yining for so many years, looking at the things she has done, the shopkeeper Zhong has never regretted it, and he feels glad that he has followed the right master.

"Lord, princess, the kitchen has prepared a meal, it's a cold day, the boat is tired, it must be cold and tired, or go to eat and rest first?"

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining did not shirk when they heard this, there was a huge Qin Mansion, and naturally everyone who lived with them, Bingtang, Jiyun, Hanxiao and Ziyuan followed Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao to Sydney Courtyard, and the rest lived wherever they liked. The shopkeeper of Zhong Da helped Huzi and Tang Xiu Zhang Luo, placed the accompanying Jinghu Guard and the palace guards, and placed the Blue Sky Alliance and the silver-faced spies, everything was arranged properly, and Qin Yining didn't have to worry about it.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao freshened up, changed into home clothes, and came to the Ming Hall of Sydney Courtyard.

There is a charcoal basin burning in the ground, the house is as warm as spring, and there are three plates of small pickles, a plate of salted fish, and the porridge is a thick mixed rice porridge.

The candlelight flickered, and under the warm light, everything seemed quiet and peaceful.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao sat down at the Eight Immortals Table and said with a smile: "I was just brought back by my father back then, and I lived here. ”

"I know." Xiao Xiao sandwiched a piece of salted fish with fish bones selected for Qin Yining, "I have seen you being bullied after you returned home." ”

Qin Yining remembered that she was thrown cold by Mother Jin next to the bamboo forest, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Now that things are wrong, and Mother Jin is no longer there, thinking of all the things when I was prosperous, I just feel embarrassed, the past cannot be chased."

Xiao Xiao took a big bite of porridge and smiled: "But the future is promising." ”

Qin Yining looked at the beautiful lying silkworm in front of him when he laughed, and the soft emotions he could only have when facing her, and his heart was very happy and moved.

"Yes, the future is promising."

After the two of them ate, Jiyun and Rock Candy withdrew from the table, and then retreated.

They all lived in Qin Mansion with Qin Yining, and now they feel like they are going home, their mood is relaxed, and even their steps are brisk.

Xiao Xiao dragged Qin Yining to the bedroom. The bedding on the bed was covered with hot pebbles.

"Let's sleep for a while." Xiao Xiao turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly unbuckled his belt, and looked at Qin Yining who was standing in front of him.

His eyes were deep, Qin Yining blushed when he was seen, and hurriedly grabbed his hand to take off his robe: "Don't, it's still early." ”

He raised his eyebrows.

Qin Yining's face became hotter and hotter, and with one hand, he fiddled with the blood jade gourd hanging from the corner of his skirt to press the skirt, and said with some hesitation: "And I can't serve you, my little day has been ten days late this month." ”
