361, the prince begged for rain
Liu Qiqi turned her head to look at the prince, "The people in this town are very poor, and it's already good to have enough to eat." ”
The prince didn't say anything, and began to eat.
Eating chicken nuggets bigger than a child's fist, with a nest head that pulls his throat, the prince is really difficult to swallow, so he just eats two bites and then stops eating.
Liu Qiqi was different, and explained while eating, "Eating some coarse grains occasionally is good for your health." ”
"And this crookedness?"
"You see that all the people who eat big fish and meat all day long are either sick here or uncomfortable there, and then look at these people who eat coarse grains, they are in great health one by one."
The prince felt that it was crooked, and it was indeed so, and under the coaxing of Liu Qiqi, he ate a nest head.
After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she hiccups with satisfaction.
While touching his stomach, he said, "It's delicious!" "Coarse grains are very expensive now, and only people in this era think they are not good things.
It is not a good thing in the eyes of the prince, and for the poor people, it is a luxury to be able to eat enough.
By the time the prince and Liu Qiqi got into the carriage and were about to leave, their subordinates had already brought the results that the prince wanted.
Hearing that, the prince deliberately let the carriage pass through the crowd, and when he saw the yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, his heart was also deeply touched.
Liu Qiqi leaned on the carriage window, looked at the people outside, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Ma Zhi County is a confused official, but the people of Qing County can be fed and clothed, and then look at this place, they are all malnourished, and they feel pitiful.
After walking for a while, I learned from the mouths of the people that this place was dry all the year round, the annual grain output was not high, and the taxes paid were the same as elsewhere, which caused today's situation.
Just as he was thinking, an old man passed by, hungry and fainted on the road.
Soon there were a lot of people around.
The carriage was forced to stop.
They heard more foul language.
Some scolded God for not opening his eyes, and some scolded the emperor for being mediocre and incompetent, and didn't even give them a meal of food and clothing.
When Liu Qiqi heard this, her eyes subconsciously looked at the prince.
The prince's face was not good-looking.
Pursed a mouth tightly and said nothing.
Liu Qiqi was worried that the prince would not be able to control his actions against the people, and she deliberately had no chance to attract a good reputation for the prince.
Fortunately, the prince was able to calm down, and only when someone took away the hungry old man, and someone enthusiastically gave him a bite to eat, did the old man come back to life.
After the carriage drove over, Liu Qiqi spoke, "I thought you would do it!" ”
The prince glanced at her and did not speak.
Liu Qiqi explained, "I don't blame them, these people are really pitiful, they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, but they are wrong, all this is not decided by the emperor, nor is it God's partiality, deliberately not raining, so that the fields are dry, and the harvest is almost non-existent." ”
The prince smiled, "Do you really think I'm going to do it?" ”
Liu Qiqi shook her head, "I have nothing to do with them, seeing them like this, I just feel pitiful, you are different, you are angry, I will be afraid!" ”
The prince snorted and laughed, "Why didn't I think you were scared. ”
Liu Qiqi deliberately didn't answer, leaned over, and said, "Prince, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, do you want to?" ”
The prince raised an eyebrow.
"You go and ask for rain, as long as there is a heavy rain here, it can solve their drought, and then the people here will remember your good all their lives, if someone has the eyesight, give the prince a book of all people, it will be recorded in history!"
The prince was moved by Liu Qiqi's words.
Asking for rain in a dry place is sure that it is not death?
"Don't worry, I've calculated for sure, tomorrow afternoon, there will definitely be a downpour here, and then you just have to make a show, and such a good thing will fall on your head."
"You're counting?"
"Hmm." Liu Qiqi has a weak heart, can it be said that it is said by the system?
The original words of the system are that the prince is the Son of Heaven, and the son of the Son of Heaven begs Lao Tzu, and this bit of face is still there.
Liu Qiqi couldn't open her mouth to say this, so she could only say it in this way.
"I'll try it at the main hall!"
"Trust me, I won't lie to you."
Sun Shuo felt that the crown princess was bragging, Yu Dai and Qing Dai felt that the crown princess was lying again, and believed that the prince would not believe it, but what they didn't expect was that the prince agreed and decided to stay in this place for one night tonight.
Hearing this, Sun Shuo couldn't be calm, and tried his best to tell the prince not to do stupid things.
It's a pity that he didn't have the courage to say what the prince decided, what Sun Shuo didn't expect was to let Zhao Kai and others, who had already left, cooperate.
The prince didn't have their worries, and after they found an inn to stay, they left someone to protect Liu Qiqi, and he left with Sun Shuo and others.
He is the crown prince, he is a royal family, there is never a shortage of food and clothing, the thought of the child's expression because of a piece of chicken shocked his heart, and because of the old man who fainted from hunger, he decided to see what was going on in this place.
Liu Qiqi saw the prince going out, she was not worried, she drank tea comfortably and read the script.
Yu Dai wanted to open her mouth several times, but she didn't have Chunbi's courage, so she could only endure it.
Qing Dai asked while pouring tea, "Princess, will it really rain at noon tomorrow?" "She'd seen the cracks in the dry land.
"It stands to reason that it will."
"Reasonable?" Qing Dai's face turned pale, and the prince had already believed it.
"The prince is the prince, the prince begs Lao Tzu for something, and Lao Tzu should give his son this face."
"What does the crown princess mean as long as the crown prince comes forward?"
"Sort of!" Qing Dai didn't get a positive answer, thinking of the princess's past style, she definitely wouldn't joke about it.
Yu Dai kept her worries to the bottom of her heart.
Evening.
Seeing the prince come back with a bad face.
Yu Dai chuckled in her heart.
Seeing Sun Shuo's bad face again, he knew that there must be something inside.
As a maid, I dare not deviate, I can only do my duty as a maid.
Bring the meal, quietly stay by the side,
The prince looked at the food, he had no appetite, and saw Liu Qiqi eating wowotou, very fragrant, thinking about the people's situation explored today, he couldn't accept it, under the emperor's rule, there are still places that are so poor.
I think it doesn't rain here, the harvest in the fields is not good, and many people are desperate.
Some people leave their hometowns to seek refuge with relatives, and some people can only buy and sell their daughters just for a full meal.
Thinking that they were living a life of fine clothes and food in the capital, I suddenly felt that I shouldn't be!
After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she looked at the prince, "Don't be like this, with you, everything will be fine." ”
The prince hoped so.
The prince picked up the head of the nest and ate it, but it was still difficult to swallow, thinking of those people, who didn't even have this to eat, he felt that it was not so unpalatable.
Sun Shuo and the others quietly ate their nests.
Because this is an inn, there is not much to eat, and because the people here live a really hard life, they cherish what they eat.
Day 2.
Liu Qiqi was still sleeping in the inn when she heard the lively movement outside.
Listen carefully, it is the prince who wants to ask for rain for this people.
Hearing this, the people were all excited.
The prince is coming, which means that the emperor has not forgotten them.
Rain!
It's a big deal for them.
They haven't seen rain for a long time because of the perennial drought.
The last time it rained was a long time ago, and it was only a few drops.
If the prince comes, he will succeed in praying for rain.
