Chapter 20: Chance encounter with King Chen
"Wang ......" Meng Xuexuan opened her mouth in surprise, but when she saw Huangfu Chen making a silent gesture towards her, she immediately understood, "Wang Gongzi, why are you?" ”
Huang Fuchen chuckled, he thought he was wrong, but he didn't expect it to be her. Looking at her, why is she dressed up like this?
Meng Xuexuan noticed his gaze, smiled awkwardly, and didn't explain.
"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper immediately got up, nodded and immediately took out the hairpin himself, and got up with his heart.
The corners of Meng Xuexuan's mouth twitched, the shopkeeper of this force, the delicate hairpin was quickly packaged and handed over.
"Then thank you to the prince." Anyway, these princes and nobles have money, and Meng Xuexuan is lazy to excuse him.
was about to leave, but when Meng Xuexuan looked up, she happened to see two familiar faces, and they were walking towards them.
"What's wrong?" Huang Fuchen suddenly stopped and asked suspiciously.
"Xuan'er." Meng Xuexuan was praying that she would not be found, but her eldest brother came over.
Meng Xuexuan turned her head slightly, and saw Meng Yuxuan looking at her with a straight face, and was arrested, but next to the eldest brother was actually her fiancé Han Wangye, who was very hot, and at this moment he was squinting at the box in her hand......
It's a real accident, it can all happen.
"Big brother, what a coincidence, it turns out that you are also here!" couldn't hide, Meng Xuexuan had no choice but to walk out in a gloomy manner, and then bowed to Huangfu Han, "I've seen Lord Han." ”
Her fiancé, Huang Fuhan, glanced at her lightly before shifting his gaze to King Chen.
"If nothing happens, Xuan'er will retire." Meng Xuexuan also wanted to go around, so she made an excuse perfunctorily.
What's more, although she has a marriage contract with Huang Fuhan, she has not seen through this person so far. In one word, it is called unfathomable.
"Since you met, why don't you go up and have a cup of tea with this king, my future princess?" When Meng Xuexuan was about to retreat, suddenly the fiancé next to her invited her to go upstairs for tea with King Chen?
He looked at her, the scar that fell on her forehead, and his eyes were slightly surprised, but there was no trace at all. Is it really Meng Wenfu's conspiracy?
Shouldn't the two of them meet before they get married? What does Huang Fuhan want to do?
She guessed in her heart, but Meng Yuxuan couldn't help but lower her voice and said to her, "Xuan'er, why are you with King Chen?" Didn't I say I'll take you out later? Also dress up like this! ”
He looked at his sister's dress again, and his tone was reproachful.
"Who told you not to take me out, I had to come out by myself." Meng Xuexuan pursed her lips, Meng Yuxuan found a quiet room in the restaurant, and after everyone sat down, the brother and sister continued to talk in a low voice.
glanced apologetically at Huang Fuchen, and found that he was not dissatisfied with her little lie, but only slightly bowed. It seemed that he agreed with her doing this, and Meng Xuexuan relaxed her heart a little and smiled back and forth to show her gratitude. Suddenly, a hot gaze fell on her, Meng Xuexuan raised her eyelids, and found that Huangfu Han opposite was leisurely drinking tea.
Is it a delusion? Obviously, it was him just now......
"Lord Wang." Just as Meng Xuexuan was losing her mind, the entourage beside King Fang Caichen came back, looking at Huangfu Chen with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Huang Fuchen was still calm and asked, "Everything is done?" ”
The man replied: "Back to the prince, it was very good, but when we distributed it to the city gate just now, we heard that there was a grain distribution outside the city, and a large number of beggars poured into the capital. I'm afraid that there will be more homeless refugees in the capital tomorrow, and the number is quite large, and many of the refugees are strong men, which may not be easy to deal with! ”
"Has the famine come to the capital?" Meng Xuexuan also heard the man's report, she had just seen a lot of beggars on the street, she was also wondering, was it a member of the beggar gang? It turned out to be refugees.
Huangfu Chen also gathered his mind and said: "The third lady doesn't know, there has been a drought recently, and there is almost no harvest, which has led to a famine in many surrounding areas. ”
"I see." Meng Xuexuan finally understood why there were so many beggars in the capital, it turned out that most of them were from other places, "Why hasn't the imperial court allocated food to these refugees until now?" "It's already in the capital, it should be burned, eyebrows, the emperor still doesn't care about this? However, everyone understands that little thing in officialdom.
"The relief of the imperial court is also limited, not to mention that there are still many checkpoints, how many do you think will reach the hands of the people?" Huang Fuhan glanced at the ignorant woman in front of him.
"What the prince said is that Xuan'er is just a girl's family, and she really doesn't understand this. Then according to the prince's will, just sit back and let things deteriorate? She couldn't help but ask.
"Xuan'er!"
Meng Yuxuan found that her tone of voice changed and quickly stopped her, and he didn't know if he had offended Huang Fuhan because he was worried that she would lose his voice, so he had to explain, "The court naturally pays attention to this matter, but for the time being, I haven't thought of a good way to completely solve this problem." The imperial court can only alleviate the current problems, but natural disasters are inevitable, and even if they can solve the current problem, the people are estimated not to be able to plant the harvest this year. Even if there is a strong heart, it cannot change the status quo, and a large amount of labor is wasted. ”
This matter has already been mentioned in the early days of the DPRK, and the corresponding officials have been dispatched to deal with this matter. But the situation is far more serious than they thought, and disaster relief can solve immediate needs, but it is never a long-term solution.
Meng Xuexuan said speechlessly, in ancient times, it was really backward, and a small disaster caused a crisis that was helpless, and there was no modern equipment in a dilemma. secretly meowed at the eldest brother and frowned when he saw that he was also furrowed. Could it be that he said that he was serious and wanted to talk about this with Huang Fuhan?
Doesn't he just have to take care of his leading troops to fight, how can he take care of these up-and-coming messes as soon as he comes back! It can't be Huang Fuhan who threw the problem at him, right?
Meng Xuexuan had just thought of this possibility.
"In this matter, Lao Yuxuan will have a trip." As a result, Huang Fuhan spoke, and sure enough, it was so! Meng Xuexuan raised her eyebrows, this Han prince treated her eldest brother as a coolie, didn't he?
"The prince is serious, this is originally a matter for his subordinates."
"Big brother, but didn't you just come back? Is this going out again? "Meng Yuxuan has been back for a few days, is there no one in the imperial court, you must know that her eldest brother has only come back for a long time!
"Don't get in the way, I won't delay too long if I think of a way." The eldest brother comforted her, but soon looked embarrassed again.
"If you don't dislike it, big brother, Xuan'er has thought of a way."
