MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 75
Marhun was pondering why the prince taught him to see the granary, and when he heard the prince, he immediately said: "His Royal Highness, wait, there is an order from the emperor."
Prince and Rong Xin stopped together, the prince bowed, and Rong Xin knelt down with a collar.
I make offerings to the Buddha a hundred times, and save the dead souls of the common people."
Sure enough, Kangxi always disliked her. It was just a false peace before, and it was broken with a poke.
Three hundred times is really not a small number, and they have to copy them before they return to Beijing, so the prince returned to the place where he stayed and said: "It's better to be on the stage, my aunt and I Copy the Buddhist scriptures together.”
"I can't." Rong Xin was in a panic, but still firmly refused the prince, "Since the emperor punished me, it should be copied by me, but I'm afraid not much Time is always with you..."
Her tone was as usual, but for some reason, the prince could hear a hint of depression.
In the heart of the prince, his aunt has always been calm and indifferent, but he did not expect that this time out of the palace would teach him to see many different sides of his aunt.
Then he held back his smile and said, "Copying Buddhist scriptures is for the common people, and my aunt is for salvation. If I pray for the people's blessings to get through the crisis as soon as possible, my aunt should stop arguing with me."
He said so, Rong Xin naturally had to give in.
On the other side, Marhun, led by Jingxi, went to the armament grain depot in the Dai Prefecture.
Marcy had the emperor's decree, ordering him to take charge of the disaster relief as the imperial envoy, and the local officials obeyed his orders.
The officer who was originally guarding the granary taught so many people to keep an eye on it, but just stood there motionless and dared not move.
Not to mention Marhun, although the prefect of Daizhou had vaguely imagined it, it was the first time he had seen it for real, and there was no other expression on his face.
"This is..." Malhun looked at her brother in confusion.
Jingxi explained: "They are refugees hired by His Highness outside the city."
Marhun stared at the prefect of Daizhou and said thoughtfully, "Open the position."
The officers looked at each other, and it seemed that one of the leading officers secretly glanced at the prefect nervously. Seeing that he didn’t say a word and didn’t stop him, he asked with a trembling voice to “open a position with him” ".
The heavy warehouse door slowly opened, and there were densely stacked sacks with grain inside.
It stands to reason that there should be no musty smell in such a cold season, but the closer they are, the stronger the musty smell.
Marhun narrowed her eyes slightly, took out the machete from her waist, and inserted it directly into the middle bag, and the moment the knife was pulled out, black and yellow corn kernels of different sizes flowed out of the sack.
With the sound of the corn kernels falling to the ground, Maerhui's face darkened, she glared at the prefect of Daizhou, and loudly ordered the soldiers: "Bring all the bags down to me. Check them out!"
"Yes!"
Jingxi also called their people to help together, everyone removed all the sacks and opened them all, but except for the rotten rice in the outer layer, the inner bag was full of fine gravel soil Chunks, not grain at all.
Several granaries guarding the granary knelt on the ground and shivered, but the prefect of Daizhou, I don't know if it was the end of the day and knew that he was unable to return to the sky, so he bowed his head in silence.
After a long time, Jingxi never thought it would be like this. She was so angry that she grabbed the collar of the prefect of Daizhou and asked angrily: "You will give this kind of food to the front line. Do combat soldiers eat?!"
The prefect of Daizhou closed his eyes, kept silent, and let him do what he did.
& nbsp; "
Jingxi's arms were tightly bound, but her arrogance remained unabated, "Imperial official! I bah! This kind of person is also worthy!"
He is young and energetic, and he just doesn't care about it.
Marhun was also angry, but he was still rational, he waved his hand helplessly, and instructed the soldier he accepted: "The prince has indicated that he will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Daizhou mansion, and I am the imperial envoy. , the prince does not need to be here, send him back."
Jingxi couldn't break free, hummed heavily, and left the granary.
The prince's guards gathered around and asked, "Your Majesty, shall we withdraw now?"
"Didn't you hear that the prince is driving people away?" Jingxi looked back at the closed warehouse door and said, "Go! Go back and find the prince."
"What about these people?"
Jing Xi looked around and shouted loudly in a volume that everyone could hear: "The imperial envoy for disaster relief in Beijing has arrived, and today is the last day for all of you to be hired by His Royal Highness. In less than half a day, the wages are still correct, and in the future, you only need to follow the arrangements of the imperial envoy."
He said, he changed his words, and increased his volume, and said deliberately: "If the imperial dispatch has any ineffectiveness in disaster relief, just go to find His Royal Highness. , by no means ambiguous!"
When the refugees heard his words, they knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the prefectural yamen, "His Royal Highness loves the people like a son! His Royal Highness loves the people like a son!"
The people in the granary could hear the movement outside clearly.
After laughing, Marhui shook her head and sighed again, ordering the prefect of Daizhou to gag with a cloth and take him into custody.
On the other side, Jingxi took the people back to the prefect's yamen, and went straight to the prince's residence angrily. As soon as he saw the prince, he explained the details of the granary to the prince.
The prince was copying the scriptures, and when he listened to him, he held the pen tightly in his hand, as if he would throw the brush out at any time.
Rong Xin had already put down the ink stick in his hand, seeing this, he took the brush in his hand and gently placed it on the pen stand, "Prince, since you have already guessed, why should you be angry with such a life? ?"
"It's just because I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart." The prince slapped the arm of the Taishi chair with a slap, and said hatefully, "I hate him..."
Rong Xin hurriedly took his hand and complained a little: "Then you don't have to **** yourself off?"
The crown prince followed her movements with his palms up, his tone indifferent, "Auntie, I am measured."
Rong Xin checked it and found that it was only a little red, so instead of making a fuss about looking for medicine, he persuaded: "Tomorrow we will go back to Mount Wutai, so don't worry about it."
The prince took a deep breath and nodded: "I order the guards to make good repairs tonight and leave tomorrow morning."
When Jingxi heard this, he said anxiously: "No, His Royal Highness, let's just leave it alone?"
The prince has calmed down, picked up the pen again and wrote stroke by stroke, "I was not on duty at all, and I have no right to ask questions, so please take care of yourself."
Jingxi was not reconciled, and knew that His Highness the Prince had a point, so he could only leave in a depressed manner.
Rong Xin and others left after experience and said: "Prince, you are too eye-catching this time. After returning to Beijing, you should be more humble."
The prince continued to write after a pause, with a bit of argumentative taste: "I can accept punishment, but Huang Ma has always loved me, and I must understand that I can't bear the suffering of the people."
Rong Xin sighed, and did not say "the emperor is the king first and then the father", only said: "Even if the emperor will not criticize you, you can't be difficult in front of the civil and military officials. No? After all, there are too many people staring at you."
Before going down the mountain, they might have some hesitations in their hearts, but after saving the people, most of these hesitations disappeared.
The remaining half disappeared because the prince's love for the people resolved a crisis of public opinion.
In the early Qing Dynasty, there were many people in the early Qing Dynasty under the banner of "anti-Qing and Fuming" and "the third prince of Zhu". Financial resources will pacify Taiwan.
The people only want stability, but they don't really care who is in power.
However, the earthquake in Shanxi last year, and the snowstorm this year, only a few people spread rumors that it was Aisin Gioro and his son who brought the scourge. .
When they first entered Daizhou Fucheng, they vaguely heard this kind of remarks, but the prince was dedicated to disaster relief and moved quickly, the people were appeased, and they were not willing to make trouble at all, and rumors could not become a climate at all.
At the same time, the popularity of the prince rose rapidly among the people, Rong Xin felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know how to express it.
However, the crown prince had another understanding of what she said, "I have been taught by Huang Ama since I was a child, and my words and deeds were based on Huang Ama's model. , the people should praise 'the mighty grace of the emperor', not me alone."
The prince nodded, "I decided to stay in Daizhou for one more day to discuss with Maerhu, first, in the name of Huang Ama, use disaster relief materials to return the grain of the rich merchants, and then borrow How about making the banquet public, and then using my private property to make up for it?"
Of course excellent!
Prince's proposal is a multi-pronged effort.
For Rong Xin, as long as the prince is safe and full of wings, it is not a big deal to give Kangxi some popular reputation, of course he can do it.
Su Rongxin smiled and said, "I'll go and explain Jingxi."
She is really happy
But now the crown prince has gradually made his own calculations, and sometimes the gods will teach her to be amazing, and she is really at ease.
Seeing that the prince was so happy, she seemed to have lost her age suddenly, and suddenly there was a sourness in her heart, he stopped her, and said softly: "Aunt Lao instructs the guards for me, and then asks the prince of Marhu. Come on."
"Good."
Rong Xin ordered people to invite the Prince Marjun to come over, and only brought tea in once, and never cared about how the two of them talked, because she believed more and more that the prince would follow every experience , will get better.
On the second day, the prince entertained the rich merchants and squires who had borrowed food, medicinal materials, and clothing from him. Rong Xin also ordered the guards of the East Palace to send letters back to Beijing, and arranged for people to raise materials and send them over.
The next day, everyone marched in the morning light and rushed back to Mount Wutai, arriving in the early morning.
It was still dark when they returned to the palace, so they quietly went back to rest without disturbing the Queen Mother.
Lv Chen and Xueqing heard the movement, and when they saw the prince and Rong Xin, tears of excitement immediately flowed down.
The prince couldn't stand them like this, so he quickly walked into the bedroom after saying a word. Rong Xin said helplessly to the two of them: "Come on, don't you see that the prince is scared by the two of you?"
Lv Shen is still restrained, so he is not embarrassed, but Xueqing still said: "I know, I know that Your Highness and you will be safe and sound, but at first sight, I saw Can't stand it..."
Rong Xin first asked Lu Chen to arrange for someone to send water to the prince to wash up, and then took out the veil to wipe Xueqing's tears.
However, before her words of comfort came out, Xue Qing avoided her hand, covered her nose and mouth and said, "Miss, what does your handkerchief smell like?"
Rong Xin gave her a hand, and then tapped her forehead heavily, "It would be great if you can wash it off when you go out. Who else has a leisurely incense? You don't know the good and the bad."
"Blind worship is discouraged."
"The Lady—"
Rong Xin couldn't hold back, the corners of her mouth rose, "Okay, you can also draw a basin of water for me, and this will be over."
"Okay!"
Xue Qing went to do physical work briskly and energetically, Rong Xin couldn't hold back her drowsiness and yawned, she went back to the room and fell asleep without waiting to wash up.
Her body has acquired inertia over the years. After dawn, she is tired and still wakes up at the usual time.
Rong Xin felt that her face and hands were not sticky, guessing that Xue Qing wiped it for her, and thanked her after she left the house.
"What are you polite to me?" Xue Qing smiled, "His Royal Highness also got up. Are you going to go down with your Highness to greet the Empress Dowager later?"
Rong Xin nodded.
"I know you're definitely going." Xue Qing pushed her to sit down, "You are too tired these days, just sit and wait for the maid to bring breakfast to support your stomach, and you don't have to do anything else. ."
Rong Xin smiled and said, "Then there will be Miss Lao Xueqing."
The prince wanted to ask Ann to accompany the empress dowager for breakfast, but his eating habits have changed a lot these days. He may show that the empress dowager is worried, so he simply uses some cakes to support his abdomen , and then went to the yard of the Empress Dowager.
At this time, the Empress Dowager had learned of the Prince's return, and had been looking forward to it in the main hall. As soon as the Prince and Rong Xin came in, she immediately stood up on crutches and looked at the Prince up and down, " Thin…"
The prince bowed down to her old man and said with guilt, "Yinren is not filial, please worry about it."
"Get up, don't kneel."
The prince got up when he heard the words, and did not wait for the empress dowager to bow to help him.
The Empress Dowager did not ignore Rong Xin, she beckoned to call her to the front, looked at her carefully, and sighed: "Look at your face, it is a lot rough, but you need to take good care of it. How delicate it used to be."
Rong Xin couldn't help laughing and laughing, and agreed: "The servants will follow your instructions, they must be well maintained, and they will never be lazy."
She is a female official, and she is not ready to invite pets to anyone, nor does she care about her appearance, but these words come from the mouth of the Queen Mother and always make people want to laugh.
The Empress Dowager listened to her response and said with satisfaction: "That's right."
When the prince asked to resign from the class, Rong Xin still stayed with the empress dowager to tell her what happened after going down the mountain.
It's only been less than a month, but they have experienced a lot, and the prince has grown a lot.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager also sighed: "The Prince's perseverance and determination are better than many elders."
Rong Xin nodded in agreement.
Rong Xin smiled humbly, and said: "The servant is very frightened when he thinks about it now, but fortunately His Highness is safe and sound, otherwise the servant has not done his duty of persuasion, but the emperor has not punished him severely, and the servant will feel uneasy. "
"The prince's temperament is exactly the same as his emperor Ama when he was young. How can others persuade him if they want?"
But she thought it was right that the prince resembled Kangxi, but he was more like Nemin.
