The warm spring breeze blew open the frozen earth, and the reservoir that was originally piled up like a hill by winter snow began to turn into a pool of spring water, although it was not yet the dry season, but it had already made the people cheer, as if they had seen the hope of a good harvest.

As long as there is no shortage of water, the problem of crops can be solved, and even the extra hardship is worth it.

Song Yang looked at the happy faces of the people, and his mood became happy, even if he had no political achievements, his heart was just as happy.

The people of the whole dry city are busy with spring ploughing, but those old men who are engaged in human trafficking business cannot sit still, and the grain hoarded at home has nowhere to sell, and it is a big loss to use it for rations.

And the people don't spend a lot of money to buy grain, so not many people will sell their sons and daughters for money, and their business has plummeted, not only is the number not as much as in previous years, but even the slaves they buy are also at a high price.

But the current dry city is not the past when Song Yang was alone in the town, if they want to make trouble, they also have to consider that the royal princess is still in the dry city, who has the courage to go against the heavenly family?

Whether these people are depressed or not, Song Xingchen and the others don't care, seeing that the spring ploughing is about to pass, Ruan Qinglian is still hesitating whether to return to Beijing, but the Ruan family sent someone over first to bring Ruan Qinglian back to the capital, but there is no news in the palace.

Zhou Jin secretly told herself that it was not her cousin who was heavy on sex, but that she was a princess, just like Song Xingchen said, all her whereabouts need to be decided by her father and queen mother, and she can only apologize in the future.

Different from Zhou Jin's careful thinking, Song Xingchen's brothers and sisters all found problems.

With the queen's love for Tang Tang, it should be common sense that Zhou Jin should be allowed to return to Beijing.

Even if there is no Tang Tang to get married, the emperor and queen should not let Zhou Jin stay in the dry city for so long, even if they have decided to let Zhou Jin marry Song Yang, this period of time together will become a criticism of Zhou Jin's reputation in the future.

"Big brother is worried about the situation in Kyori?" Pulling Zhou Jin apart, Song Xingchen sat opposite Song Yang and asked.

Song Yang put down the secret letter from the capital and said in a low voice: "The letter from the capital must be hiding something, I suspect that there may be a coup." ”

"Settle down?" Song Xingchen analyzed: "Concubine An's return to favor seems to be planned, and an ambitious person at An Xuyan must be tired of not mentioning letting the prince restore the identity of the prince when Concubine An is the most favored." ”

"This is exactly what I'm worried about, when I was in the capital, the prince already had the evidence of the heart of the An family, but that was only a part, and he couldn't fully grasp how many private soldiers the An family raised, let alone how many people were the people of the An family, so he kept holding on to the An family." Song Yang frowned and said, "But the rise of Concubine An is obviously a signal, and An Xuyan doesn't have much patience anymore." ”

"Since the eldest brother is sent as an official, don't worry about these things, now the people of the dry city have just had hope, the eldest brother still thinks about the follow-up things, and gives the people a stable life, this is the duty of the eldest brother as the prefect." Song Xingchen smiled lightly: "The second brother's temperament, the eldest brother knows best, if the prince's side has no chance of winning, the second brother will definitely transfer the family as soon as possible, and will also urge us to prepare the way back." ”

"I'm just afraid that your second brother will be reckless, and you must not do this unless you have to, otherwise the crown prince's ascension to the throne will be the beginning of the Song family's catastrophe." Song Yang said worriedly.

"Although the second brother-in-law is not an official in the court, I believe that the second brother-in-law will definitely supervise the second brother." Pouring Song Yang a cup of soothing tea, Song Xingchen chuckled: "Big brother, have you forgotten that Yelang has been absent recently?" He has the prince's dark power in his hands, and he must be solving the trouble for the second prince, as long as Yelang doesn't send back an emergency signal, it means that the situation in the capital can still be controlled. ”

"In this way, the eldest brother is too worried." Song Yang smiled.

"The eldest brother is not too worried, but it involves the royal family, and the eldest brother has to worry a little more even if it is for the princess, and the younger sister can understand. But please also keep in mind that although the princess is not involved in court politics, the princess's mind is delicate and sensitive in some aspects. After Song Xingchen finished speaking, he got up and paced around the room with his waist on his back, "Big brother has to learn to be a lazy person, didn't the old man say that lazy people have lazy blessings?" The eldest brother is just a courtier of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he will always be, as long as he does his duty as a courtier, it is enough, and some things have his own superiors to bother God. ”

Looking at Song Xingchen's quiet face standing in the sun, Song Yang suddenly had an epiphany.

Because of Zhou Jin's relationship, Song Yang has overstepped his rules many times, forgetting that he is just a courtier, worrying about the royal family all day long, once he is discovered by the superiors, it is very likely that he will be suspicious, and then he will really hurt the Song family.

The capital, the palace of the king of Rui.

Rui Wang Ye and Princess Rui are playing against each other, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the chess surface, but those who have played chess with Rui Wang Ye know that he is deliberately letting Princess Rui, otherwise he would have killed Princess Rui to the ground.

Maybe it's not to let it, just to play chess with Princess Rui, the picture is the fun of regretting chess, and there is no need to bother, which is why Prince Rui insisted on marrying Princess Rui and was the only woman in his life.

"If I think about it again, this move just now doesn't count." Lord Rui stopped Princess Rui's hand, and picked up the chess pieces he had just played very quickly, I don't know how many times he regretted the chess.

"If you regret playing chess again, go find someone else to play chess with you." Princess Rui glared, patted the chessboard and said: "The old rule, those who regret chess will be fined one or two silver, and they will pay the fine first before continuing." ”

"Forget it this time, this king only has a few dozen taels of silver left for pocket money this month, doesn't the princess want this king to advance next month's monthly silver?" Lord Rui looked at Princess Rui with grievances, like an old naughty boy, without any wisdom.

"If you want to advance, you have to have the silver for you, the income of the Ruiwang Mansion is not under my control now, and if my son and daughter-in-law don't come back, the money we will buy vegetables next month will be almost gone." Princess Rui's expression was even more pitiful, "I don't know if my good grandchildren are suitable for the environment over there, whether they can eat well there, I really want to send someone to pick them up." ”

"Wait a little longer." Lord Rui sighed.

Princess Rui knew what Prince Rui meant, but she missed her grandson, and she had no interest in playing chess at the moment, so she pushed the chessboard and said: "Forget it, don't play, I'll go to the treasury to see if there is anything good, send someone to send it to my good grandson, it has been a long time, and they have forgotten that there is still my grandmother in the capital." ”

"Go, go, go, if you're happy, send all the Rui Wangfu to the good grandson Ducheng." Rui Wang Ye said with a smile.

Zhou Feng, who was standing at the door, heard the conversation between the two, and knew that Princess Rui was deliberately leaving, so that he could give himself time to talk to his uncle.

"Aunt Huang." Zhou Feng nodded to Princess Rui.

"You're a father, why don't you know how to take care of yourself? It's only been a long time since I've seen it, and I've lost weight like this, and if your queen mother sees it, it will be so distressing. Seeing Zhou Feng, Princess Rui couldn't help but nag.

Princess Rui only has one son, Zhou Anxu, and it was not easy to give birth to her, so her love for Zhou Feng's brothers and sisters is no worse than that of her own son, but they get along more harmoniously.

"No matter what happens today, don't be in a hurry to leave, the imperial aunt will ask you to make some delicious supplements." Princess Rui made her own decision, and when she left, she muttered: "No, I have to go to the prince's mansion when I go back, and talk to the princess well, it is important to take care of my son, but I also have to take care of my man, or who will support you in the future!" Besides, if you catch a man, you have to grab his stomach, and what is the difference between raising your own man thin and pushing it to other women? ”

Zhou Feng shook his head helplessly, he didn't understand what kind of theory Princess Rui was, but he knew that Princess Rui's concern for him was true, and his heart was warm.

Lifting the hem of his clothes, Zhou Feng came to the flower hall and saluted Lord Rui.

"You are now the crown prince, and you don't have to salute when you see this king, don't you still want this king to salute you?" Lord Rui blew his beard, waved his big hand, and sat down.

"Uncle Huang laughed, the nephew is a junior ceremony, and it has nothing to do with identity." Zhou Feng smiled warmly, since he had a memory, he admired this imperial uncle the most.

Although Prince Rui always behaves indifferently and never shows his intelligence, from the representative of Prince Rui and the conversation of the emperor, Zhou Feng knows that the real schemer of the Great Zhou Kingdom is this imperial uncle.

And what Zhou Feng admires most about Lord Rui is not his wisdom, but his mind.

obviously has the opportunity to sit on the throne, but Prince Rui is really open-minded and knows who is more suitable to preside over the situation at that time, and would rather pretend to be crazy and stupid as long as the false title of the prince, but he lives more chic than anyone else.

The most trusted person in the world, Prince Rui is definitely in the first place.

"You don't have to be close, tell me, what is the purpose of your coming today?" Lord Rui snorted, "So many things don't do business, but you go to this poor place to drink tea, that's how you became a prince?" ”

was taught by Lord Rui, but Zhou Feng's mood became happy, only Lord Rui would not change his attitude because of his change of identity and respect for him.

However, Zhou Feng was almost choked by the tea, if the Rui Wangfu was poor and sour, his prince's mansion would be unsightly.

Out of brotherhood and guilt, the emperor will send a copy of any good thing to the Rui Palace, and his Prince's Mansion can't be compared at all?

"My nephew has something to ask for advice, and I hope that Uncle Huang can give me some advice." Zhou Feng was respectful, took out a post from his sleeve, and pushed it to Prince Rui, "Uncle Huang can recognize this person?" ”

"How did you find him?" Lord Rui frowned, his eyes fell on the name post, and he said in a cold tone: "This person is a descendant of a loyal supporter of the royal family of the previous dynasty, although he is talented, he refuses to enter the court as an official because of his ancestral teachings. When the king was traveling abroad, he had contact with him, and they admired each other at that time, but after knowing each other's identities, they never contacted each other again. ”

"Sure enough." Zhou Feng nodded clearly, but his expression became solemn, "This person's eldest grandson is now in the army." ”

"Impossible!" Lord Rui retorted: "How could his grandson be the general of the Great Zhou Kingdom? Unless ......"

Before Lord Rui finished speaking, his face changed greatly: "Feng'er, what else have you found?" Did you tell your father about this? ”

"Uncle Huang should not be excited, let the nephew be careful about this matter." Zhou Feng was very surprised, this was the first time he saw Rui Wangye's emotions out of control, obviously in Rui Wangye's heart, this friend who used to talk very happily has a certain weight in his heart.

At least in terms of talent, there are not many people who can admire Lord Rui.
