"It's been more than May, and the King of Xiang and they all went to Shandong and Henan, and they haven't heard anything happen so far, is it a mistake?" Yang Rong was puzzled.

"Who knows, but I hope that the prophecy of the town of the country is wrong, so that the people will not suffer."

Xie Jin continued, sighing and saying.

"Although we are doing things for Your Majesty, how can we guess God's affairs accurately and take care of them?"

But at this moment, Yang Shiqi noticed that there were people in the yard, stood up and said, "Who is it?" ”

The person who came was a little eunuch, he bowed down and walked into the lobby of the cabinet, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty invited the three bachelors over, saying that the General Administration Department received the report from Shandong and Henan. ”

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

After so many days, I haven't heard anything about the locust plague, and today I suddenly came to report it, and the three guys had a bad premonition.

Yang Shiqi suddenly looked worried, touched his beard and said, "I have to go and take a look." ”

………………

In the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, the gardener was busy changing the pergola designed by Cheng Yuan, changing the flowers of the season, lying in the courtyard and looking at the script.

This kind of day is too comfortable, quiet, no one comes to disturb him, Cheng Yuan feels that he has lived a retirement life in advance.

The sound of "da-da-da" sounded, and Cheng Yuan saw Steward Liu running into the door: "Boss, Your Majesty has sent someone to ask you to enter the palace immediately, saying that there is something to discuss." ”

Cheng Yuan's eyes rolled slightly, What can be the matter, it's almost dark, it must be urgent.

After thinking about it, he entered the bedroom and changed into his official robe.

"What's wrong?"

"If there is something in the palace, I will enter the palace immediately."

"Come back early, I'll wait for you."

"Hmm."

After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he took his official hat and walked out of the door quickly, there was a carriage parked at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Cheng Yuan signaled that his entourage did not have to follow.

He chose his horse and rode into the palace.

Lanterns were lit on both sides of Ying Tianfu, pedestrians wandered around the city, and the temperature in May was quite suitable.

Cheng Yuan hurriedly entered the palace and was taken directly into the imperial study by Liu Yi.

All of a sudden, the imperial study was boiling like a frying pot, and the town of Guogong came, and they all had people to discuss.

"Cheng Yuan, this is Shandong's report, take a look." Zhu Di handed the song to Liu Yi, the chamberlain.

Quickly browsing the report, Cheng Yuan's face changed suddenly, The thing in this report is a sign of the beginning of locusts, and the duck should be transported over immediately, and the medicine for spraying insecticidal eggs has been prepared.

Zhu Di was worried: "How many sweet potatoes do you have in the greenhouse?" ”

"There are still 300 acres, which can already be excavated, and the minister immediately arranged manpower to go to Henan by land from Shandong by water." Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said.

Zhu Di closed his eyes, he didn't expect the locust plague to really appear, and he also had a headache, so he had to pin his hopes on Cheng Yuan.

"Cheng Yuan, then dig out all the three hundred acres of sweet potatoes and send them to Henan, Shandong, you prepare as soon as possible, if you escape the locust plague, I will definitely reward you." Zhu Di said firmly.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not need a reward, and being able to contribute to Shandong and Henan Prefecture is what the minister should do."

Cheng Yuan thought for a while, looked at Yang Shiqi next to him and Xie Jin: "Ask a few bachelors to help buy more ducks in the capital together." ”

Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong said: "Of course, I must contribute to the town of Guogong." ”

Zhu Di then sent a letter to Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and asked the king of Zhou to assist in resisting the locust plague in Henan.

Cheng Yuan is not worried, he has prepared sweet potatoes and ducks to ensure that the people of Shandong survive the locust plague and everything is under control.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Yang Xianzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen has selected two talents for Her Royal Highness Xianning, please decide." ”

Zhu Di said: "Let's do this matter for the queen, and by the way, let's investigate the life experience of the candidate horse." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at Yang Xianzhi, and suddenly felt very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know why.

Queen Xu's speed was too fast, and she chose two horses in just a few days.

Cheng Yuan, who was originally going home after leaving the imperial study, involuntarily followed behind Yang Xianzhi. He was also curious about which two were sent by the Ministry of Rites to Xianning.

But he couldn't pull his face to ask Yang Xianzhi.

Only tailgating.

Phew, this is not tailgating, he is saving Xianning's good cabbage from being arched by pigs.

On the stone table in the front hall of Xianning Palace, Cheng Yuan probed and saw that Xianning, who was "ordinary" but had very charming facial features, was holding two paintings and selecting.

Yang Xianzhi stood with a bow, waiting for Xianning to choose a portrait.

"The son of the head of the Ministry of Wu? looks beautiful. Xianning said with the portrait.

Xianning, you girl is still a face control......

"The queen said that Her Royal Highness would go to meet this Wu Gongzi tomorrow."

See you mother...... Cheng Yuan scolded.

But what qualifications do you have to ask her not to marry? It's me who rejected her, and I'm worried about her choosing a colt at this time.

Maybe this son of Chief Wu will be a good destination for Xianning, but as far as he knows, this Chief Wu of the Ministry of Officials bought and sold officials and did a lot of corrupt things.

Cheng Yuan thought about it, he still had to go to the greenhouse to arrange sweet potatoes and ducks, and An Cheng was still waiting for her to go back at home.

Cheng Yuan despised his own behavior in his heart.

However, reason is not at the end of the day.

…… But I have to remind her that she can tell her through Yang Xianzhi.

When he hesitated, several people walked behind him.

"Zhen Guogong? What are you doing here. Shang Yi of Xianning Palace behind him asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

This Shang Yi had a very loud voice, and Yang Xianzhi in the courtyard immediately ran out when he heard it: "Master? How are you here. ”

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "I...... Thinking about your mother's birthday, I came to you. ”

"Master, my mother's birthday has already passed."

Cheng Yuan: "......"

"Soul Town? Now that you're here, come in and sit down. Princess Xianning smiled: "Just sit down." ”

Xianning didn't call him any nickname like before, but was ordinary and couldn't see any emotion.

She is very sensible and well-behaved.

Cheng Yuan sighed, shook his head and said, "Back to His Royal Highness Xianning, I misremembered Yang Shangshu's mother's birthday, and there was nothing wrong, so I left." ”

He thought that when he turned around, maybe Xianning would stop him and say a few words.

Who knows, Princess Xianning just continued to smile and choose the portrait given by the Ministry of Rites, and did not cry and shout and scold herself as usual.

"Yang Shangshu, this palace thinks that the son of the head of the ministry is good, you tell the queen mother, then see him tomorrow." Xianning smiled with flowers.

Xianning ...... Marry the son of the head of the ministry?

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan felt a blockage in his heart, but what qualifications did he have to intervene, he could only comfort himself: how can my brother-in-law be with my sister-in-law, maybe the son of the head of the ministry has a good character.

But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, he still had to ask Ji Gang to investigate the head of the Ministry of Officials, Wu, and not let such a stupid and sweet girl be arched by pigs.

Yes, I'll go down tomorrow.

Cheng Yuan had more important things, so naturally he wouldn't think too much about this kind of blockage, and his steps quickly walked out of Xianning Palace.

Yang Xianzhi put away the picture scroll: "The minister will go to talk to the queen mother later, and the minister will retire." ”

He looked at Princess Xianning, who was showing off her flowers, and felt that this girl was very good, although she was willful, her essence was not annoying.

However, his master didn't like it, so he had to cheapen the son of the head of the ministry.

Yang Xianzhi then left.

Xianning glanced at the female officer beside him: "The palace is not feeling well, so you have to rest in bed, and you tell the queen tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

……………………

When Cheng Yuan went to the greenhouse with a concern, he saw Kuang Yu coming to him and saying that something had happened to the greenhouse outside the city.
