I was a prince in ancient times

It was raining heavily in spring, and the road on the official road was very difficult to walk. The money delivery team was delayed for several days on the road.

It was already March when they arrived in Yicheng, and the wasteland had almost been reclaimed, and the refugees who had nothing to do were organized by Fengzhi County to build reservoirs and official roads.

The construction of the official road and the construction of the reservoir are different from the previous projects. For this reason, Xie Anlan selected some handy young guys from the refugees, and specially trained them on how to adjust the concrete and pour the concrete.

Xie Anlan himself was a layman, so he told a few people what he knew, and they had to slowly figure out the rest.

Fortunately, the cheap cement is not afraid of them rushing. The concrete that was poured at the beginning was still gelled unevenly. After a few more attempts, it gradually improved.

After teaching one by one, the reservoir engineering and road engineering are advancing by leaps and bounds every day.

By the time the money delivery team arrived in Yicheng, the half-mile journey had already been paved.

The carriage was driving on a gentle road, there was no mud, no sudden puddles, and no pebbles here and there blocking the road. The comfort of walking on flat ground allowed them to drive in muddy water for more than half a month. Suddenly felt a kind of happiness.

Even the horse couldn't help flicking its tail comfortably, driving unhurriedly on the silver-belt-like concrete road, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves, it was extremely leisurely.

There are even quite a few merchants who came to do business, not in a hurry to enter the city to sell their goods, but stuck around the construction team, tirelessly watching their construction, without blinking their eyes, as if they never got tired of watching.

Occasionally, curious people would ask the construction team what was used to build the road, and the construction team did not shy away from saying that it was the cement newly developed by the imperial court.

When they asked if they could buy it, the construction team asked them to go back and ask the county magistrate.

Half a mile of concrete road was crowded, and the journey slowed down, but no one was impatient. The horse walked slowly, and they slowly looked at this novel road.

When they entered the city and could no longer see the concrete road, many people still felt lost.

They even couldn't stop thinking in their hearts, it would be great if the world followed this kind of road in the future, and they would no longer have to endure the muddy and bumpy pain.

Thinking about what the construction team said, the concrete road will be built all the way to the imperial capital, which instantly made many businessmen think about it.

Although the road only leads to the imperial capital, it can pass through many counties in the middle. When the road is repaired, they will go back and forth to do business on this road, and maybe they can also see the prosperity of the imperial capital.

Although there are many businessmen in Yicheng, many of them have never been to the imperial capital. In the past, the Shangao road was far from convenient, but now there is a cement road, so there is no such scruple.

Such an easy road, if you don't finish the trip, you will feel that you have spent your life in vain.

The money delivery team followed the merchant's ass, squeezed all the way into the city, and came straight over when they found out where Prince Chen was staying.

Xie Anlan was directing workers to carry out construction in a demolished residential area in the city at this time, and rushed back immediately after hearing the news.

"My lord." The people who came to give the money were a few people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when they saw Xie Anlan, they immediately knelt down and bowed.

Xie Anlan saw that they were all dusty and had long since lost the glow they had when they were in the capital, so she waved her hand and excused them.

Ask the servants to open the side door so that they can enter the house to rest quickly.

"Thank you, my lord." Although they were exempted from kneeling, they still thanked them honestly.

Just after the ceremony, when he was about to pull the carriage into the house, a small black carriage suddenly ran out in front of the house.

It looked gray and dusty, the carriage and horses were covered with mud, the horse stopped and shook its body lightly, a lot of mud splashed on the bodies and faces of several ministers of the interior.

The servants were dumbfounded and looked at the pony carriage with strange expressions.

If they remembered correctly, they also saw this carriage vaguely on the road, but it didn't appear frequently enough that they didn't pay attention.

Now it seems that this carriage clearly followed them all the way.

"What's the matter?" Xie Anlan had already turned around and was about to enter the mansion. Seeing that a few people were unmoved, she turned her head and asked.

Before a few people answered, I saw a thin, unkempt, disheveled boy of twelve or thirteen years old who jumped out of the carriage, rushed to Xie Anlan's face, hugged his arm, and howled with tears in his eyes, "Wow—— —Uncle Emperor—I can see you.”

When the child cried, two huge teardrops slipped from the eye sockets, leaving two extremely ugly marks on the dusty little face.

The child's voice sounded familiar, but Xie Anlan couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Fortunately, several servants reacted very quickly, and greeted tentatively, "It's His Royal Highness."

Xie Anlan suddenly remembered that this was not the first small creditor he had when he crossed over. Since he hadn't seen him for a long time, he almost forgot about this person.

Xie Anlan lifted his wailing head buried in her arm, carefully checked his eyebrows and eyes, and after not admitting his mistake, he was relieved and asked, "Mingyi, why are you here?"

Xie Mingyi raised his head pitifully, with moisture in his eyes, blinked, and shook off the tears that stuck to his eyelashes, before hesitatingly said, "Uncle... I... I took my sister away from home... run away gone."

After speaking, he looked at Xie Anlan anxiously.

"Huh?" Seeing his appearance, Xie Anlan had already guessed most of it. After hearing what he said, she frowned and said puzzledly, "Why did you take your sister with you when you ran away from home?"

"I..." Xie Mingyi flinched, a little hesitant to tell Xie Anlan the truth.

Xie Anlan frowned, broke free from his grasped arm, and said solemnly, "If you dare to lie to me, I will immediately send you back to the imperial capital."

Xie Mingyi was honest now, lowered his head, and reluctantly said, "My sister has just reached the age of [-], and my mother is about to choose a husband for my sister. I don't want my sister to marry, and it happens that my sister doesn't want to marry, so I will take With my sister, I have come to seek refuge with you, Uncle Huang."

Facing Xie Mingyi's bright and expectant eyes, Xie Anlan rubbed his swollen forehead, he didn't know where he gave the child the illusion of his reliability, and made him travel thousands of miles to rely on him.

After this accident happened, Xie Anlan couldn't question the brat at the gate, so he had to arrange people into the house first.

Xie Mingyi saw that Xie Anlan agreed to take in their siblings, so he happily went to lead his pony carriage.

After entering the house, Xie Mingyi's elder sister, Xie Mingrui, slowly climbed out of the carriage, and bowed to Xie Anlan, "Mingrui, thank you for taking care of the emperor."

Xie Anlan saw that both siblings were dressed in rough clothes, so she couldn't help asking, "How did you get here all the way?"

The two and a half-year-old children were spoiled and spoiled, and there was no adult to look after them, nor did they have maids to wait on them. It was unknown how much they would suffer along the way.

I don't know if it's worth it to suffer so much just to vomit with my parents.

Xie Anlan's eyes fell on Xie Mingrui's little girl who was not as tall as her chest, and she was taken aback.

Are you going to get married before you finish growing up?

Xie Mingyi was being well-behaved this time, and replied honestly, "We came here with a few servants who came to deliver things to the emperor."

Xie Anlan looked at the servants again, and the servants looked at me, I saw you were at a loss for a while, and after a long time, the leader came out and replied, "We did see the carriage of the late son and the princess, But along the way, I didn't see the figure of the prince and the princess."

After saying that, several servants knelt down together with Xie Anlan, "Please punish the prince, it is the negligence of the slaves that caused the son and princess to suffer such a great crime."

Xie Mingyi hurriedly said, "My sister and I deliberately avoided you. It's only strange if you find us. Get up and don't blame you."

"Thank you, sir, for understanding." After the servants thanked Xie Mingyi, they still knelt on the spot and did not dare to get up.

Xie Anlan didn't care about them, although he knew that they could not be blamed for this matter, but the dignified son and the princess followed them, and as royal servants, they didn't even notice, that was their negligence.

Kneeling is already a very light punishment, if other princes are here today, it is very likely that their heads will fall to the ground.

"You two are smart enough to follow them to find me." Xie Anlan withdrew his gaze and looked at the two siblings who were obediently being scolded standing beside him, with a bit of sarcasm.

Knowing to follow a few servants, if there is danger on the road, they will not ignore it.

"But how do you two know that these servants are here to look for me?" Xie Anlan's eyes flashed with doubt.

Such an arrangement should not be something that their two children can control.

Xie Mingyi raised his head and smiled awkwardly at Xie Anlan, "I overheard my father and mother arguing in the study to buy the emperor's uncle's cement in the study, and secretly followed the servants of the mansion to know."

After hearing this, Xie Anlan frowned even more, "What does your father buy cement for?"

"I don't know." Xie Mingyi shook his head blankly.

On the contrary, there was a smart servant at the bottom who knew the situation and took the initiative to explain Xie Anlan's confusion, "Your Majesty, this is arranged by His Majesty. The villains came this time to give you the money to buy cement."

As he said that, the servant took out a bank note from his underclothes and presented it to Xie Anlan, "A total of 20 taels, except for the 10 taels given by His Majesty, the remaining 10 taels are the other five. It was made by a prince."

At this time, Xie Mingming seemed to think of something, and turned his head and said, "By the way, I heard my father and mother quarreled and said that they should give money to the emperor's uncle, so that the emperor's uncle can't hold his head up in front of the emperor's aunt. Why does the emperor have no money?" Will you be unable to lift your head in front of Aunt Huang?"

The child's big eyes were full of doubts.

Xie Anlan, "..."

Fortunately, Xie Mingrui learned some housekeeping skills from Princess Huainan at home, and soon understood the meaning, and grabbed his younger brother in time.

Covering his mouth, she smiled apologetically at Xie Anlan.

Squeezing the bank note in his hand, and hearing what Xie Mingyi said, Xie Anlan understood no matter how stupid he was.

This is his six elder brothers subsidizing him secretly by buying cement.

I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, but at the same time I was a little moved.

After all, their seven mothers and concubines fought a lot for the throne back then, and now it is extremely rare to let go of their prejudices and lend a helping hand to him.

As for eating soft rice or something, he pretended he didn't hear it.

During the silence, Lu Chengjia also rushed over. He was not in the mansion today, he was dealing with things outside, and he didn't know about the two brats.

"Your Highness." Seeing Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjiao called softly.

The two siblings, Xie Mingyi and Xie Mingrui, saw Lu Chengjiao's eyes lit up, their mouths seemed to be covered with honey, and they called out sweetly in unison, "Aunt Huang."

"Auntie?"

The first time I heard this name, Lu Chengjiao, I was still a little uncomfortable, so I asked for it.

Xie Anlan explained with a smile, "The two children of the eldest brother's family had some trouble with the family and ran out secretly."

After Lu Chengjie listened, he noticed that the clothes on the two children were wrinkled, and their originally fair faces were also gray.

Immediately ordered the next person, "Go and prepare some clean clothes for the prince and the princess, and prepare hot water for the prince and the princess to take a bath."

Then Lu Chengjiao looked at the two children softly, and asked softly, "Are you hungry, do you want to prepare some food?"

In an instant, there were water lines in the eyes of the two children. They had never traveled far, and it was just a whim to run away from home. There was no food prepared in the carriage.

He didn't have a lot of money with him, and he suffered a lot of hunger along the way. He finally found Uncle Qi Huang, and before he could say he was hungry, he was asked a lot of questions.

I had no choice but to start answering hungry.

Now that I heard Aunt Qihuang's gentle words, the grievance in my heart could no longer be suppressed. The two children pulled one of Lu Chengjiao's sleeves, sniffed, and said with red eyes, "Aunt Huang, you really good."

After careful calculation, Lu Chengjie was no older than them, and he felt a little awkward when he heard the words of the emperor's aunt and the right of the emperor's aunt.

But the seniority is put here again, and it is not easy for them to call elder brother.

As for the name uncle...

Lu Chengjie felt that it was not as good as Aunt Huang.

Simply no longer entangled in addressing issues.

With Lu Chengjiao's order, the servants quickly prepared clothes and hot water.

Let the two little ones go to take a bath and change clothes first, and then tell the kitchen to cook some porridge that is easy to digest.

Fearing that the two children have been bumping on the road for so long and their stomachs are weak, it is better to raise their stomachs for two days, and then eat slowly and selectively.

Lu Chengjia considered everything that could be considered, but in the end he was still worried, so he asked Lu Chuyi to go to the city to invite a doctor with good medical skills to take a look.

In this case, if there is a small problem on the road, it can be treated in time.

Seeing that Lu Chengjie was busy with the two children, Xie Anlan felt sour in his heart, and asked uncomfortably, "You like children so much?"

Lu Chengjiao was still thinking about what he hadn't arranged, and suddenly heard what Xie Anlan said, thinking about it, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Highness, this is your nephew and niece, the prince's son of the Yong Dynasty, the Princess, If something good or bad happens to us, how should His Highness explain to Prince Huainan?"

"That's right." Xie Anlan squeezed the banknotes in her arms, thinking that just now Xie Mingyi said that the eldest brother and his wife had quarreled over giving him money.

Just because of this friendship, he has to take good care of his two nephews and nieces.

After touching the money, Xie Anlan thought of everyone saying that he was a softie.

I don't care either.

He took out a bank note from his pocket and handed it to Lu Chengjiao, "This is the money for cement from the elder brother, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, and the sixth brother. When you look back, you can see how much cement you should give them." How much cement to give."

"Then the rest of the money?" Cement is really worthless. A catty of cement is only about two or three Wen, but His Highness sells it for ten Wen, which is already considered a huge profit. And more than half of the shipping cost.

"Look at the flowers, you can build roads and bridges, you can build bridges and bridges, if you can't spend them all, you can exchange them for silver for nothing. In short, as I said, the money in the Chen Palace will be yours and it will really be yours. Take care." Xie Anlan has said this many times, but it seems that Lu Chengjia has not yet entered the state, and he always has to discuss everything with him.

Perhaps Xie Anlan spoke very seriously this time, after Lu Chengke listened to it, he took the money and really stopped asking.

Soon, the two children came out of the bath.

Not to mention, they are worthy of being the heirs of the royal family. Without their disheveled appearance, the two children are both slim and handsome.

You can tell at a glance that they are not from ordinary people.

"Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang."

As soon as the two children came out, they saw that Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia were already waiting for them to eat in the main hall.

The good royal upbringing did not make them jump up when they saw food because they were hungry, but waited silently after seeing the ceremony.

"Come over and have a meal. You don't have to abide by those red tapes even if you're not an emperor." Seeing that the two children were already hungry and secretly swallowing, Lu Chengjie stood aside restrainedly and smiled.

After receiving Lu Chengjiao's words, the two children quickly came to the dining table, picked up their own bowls and chopsticks, and ate quickly and politely.

"Slow down, you've just been hungry, so you shouldn't overeat." Xie Anlan saw that although their eating movements were elegant, but the movements were fast, she knew they were hungry, and kindly reminded them.

Only then did the two slow down, and one of them stopped eating after eating two small bowls of rice porridge.

As soon as they finished eating, Lu Chuyi also brought a doctor over.

They are usually pampered and pampered, but fortunately they are young and have a good foundation. Even though they endured hunger and starvation all the way, they did not hurt their bodies, but they are a little weak and lack of energy and blood. It will be fine after a while.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, both Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjie breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating, the stomach is no longer hungry, and there is no need to rush on the road in fear. Once the body and mind are relaxed, the comfortable environment makes the siblings lean against the table and chairs and take a nap.

Afraid that Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia still had questions to ask, they dared not sleep.

The two looks of wanting to sleep but not daring to sleep, finally moved Xie Anlan's heart with compassion, and waved his hands impatiently, "If you want to sleep, go to sleep. If there is anything to do, we will talk about it when we are full."

It was said that the two of them went back to their rooms to rest under the leadership of the servants, as if they had received some kind of amnesty.

"What does Your Highness plan to do about this matter?" Lu Chengjiao asked after he had left.

Xie Anlan sighed slightly, "What else can I do, eat and drink well, and send them back to the imperial capital when they recover."

Speaking of which, Xie Anlan recruited a guard, and asked him to find someone to hurry back to the capital and tell King Huainan that the child was with them.

The bear boy is disobedient, and he doesn't know how many people he will implicate.

It really made Xie Anlan guess that the two children disappeared in the imperial capital, and the entire imperial capital was shaken three times.

At first, Princess Huainan didn't think that the two children were going to leave home by themselves. She thought they were abducted by human traffickers, so she entered the palace and begged His Majesty to send three armies to hunt down human traffickers throughout the city.

As a result, the capital city was turned upside down and no one was found, so I felt something was wrong.

After going back to the house to check, they found some clues, and learned that the two of them ran away from home in order to escape marriage, and they might have been hundreds of miles away from the imperial capital. Princess Huainan was very angry.

After finally waking up, what greeted her was a burst of insults from Huainan King.

After waking up for less than a moment, he was angry again.

Fortunately, the two children were not abducted, and they could be found by following the traces.

The person Xie Anlan sent to the imperial capital to deliver the message came back in less than half a day, and the two groups happened to meet on the road.

After knowing that the prince and the princess were safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and sent a few people back to deliver the letter, and the rest followed back to King Chen, staying to look after the prince and the princess.

Now it's all right. Originally, this small mansion was surrounded by 1000 guards on three floors and three floors outside. It has already divided this area into a restricted area. All the streets are blocked.

"What are these things?" Xie Anlan rubbed her swollen forehead as she watched the alleyway outside the mansion full of armored and majestic soldiers, feeling a headache.

When Xie Anlan had a headache, the spies placed in the city by the Grassland Department to attack him also had a headache.

They have been squatting in Yicheng for three months. The eldest prince said that he would capture the king of Chen alive, but the residence of the king of Chen is surrounded by so many people every day, not to mention people, even a fly. Can't fly in.

Moreover, Chen Wang didn't go out very much on weekdays, and he always brought hundreds of people with him when he went out, and there was nothing he could do with just a few of them.

Before they could come up with a solution, they suddenly saw a thousand more soldiers coming from King Chen's office, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Not to mention what the spies thought, Xie Mingyi and Xie Mingrui, the two siblings, recuperated for a few days and regained their senses. In this border where no one is guarding them, it is strange to see everything.

For a while, I sneaked into the saddle workshop to watch the workers making saddles, and then followed Feng Zhixian and others to the dam to watch the shocking scene of tens of thousands of people building the reservoir at the same time.

If you have nothing to do, you can follow behind Lu Chengjia, disguise yourself as a man to meet various businessmen, or follow Xie Anlan to see the first pure cement restaurant in Yicheng that is under construction.

After a few days, the two siblings were excited from head to toe, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

However, these can only make them feel excited, and they will calm down after experiencing the novelty. It is another thing to really confuse them.

"Uncle and Aunt Huang, don't you sleep together at night?"

After dinner, Xie Anlan took them for a stroll around the house to digest food.

It happened to be March when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. The original owner was a leisurely person who surrounded a small flower garden in the garden behind the house.

It can also enjoy flowers and digest food, killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing Xie Mingyi's words so suddenly that he couldn't tell whether it was a child's words or intentional words, both Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao made a wrong step.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Xie Anlan looked at him strangely.

"My mother taught me that husband and wife should sleep together. Uncle Huang, you don't have little Aunt Huang. It's fine if you don't live in Aunt Huang's house on weekdays. Why don't you live in Aunt Huang's house on the first and fifteenth day of the new year? This is disrespect to the emperor's aunt." Originally, Xie Mingyi had no idea about the issue of sleeping, but Xie Mingruigen seemed to be a fine person, yesterday was fifteen, and he deliberately ate less food, deliberately leaving time for the two of them to spend time together.

As a result, after eating and eating, the two went back to their respective rooms to sleep as usual, the siblings couldn't help muttering.

In their house, no matter how busy the father is and how much he likes his aunt, he will definitely stay in the mother's room on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The mother said that this is the respect that the father has for her, otherwise it means that the father completely hates the mother , Even the last affection between husband and wife is not kept.

But after getting along with the emperor's uncle and aunt these days, they don't feel that there is no relationship between them.

Xie Anlan glanced at him, "Kids should not interfere with matters between adults."

"I'm not young anymore, and I'll be able to marry a wife in two years." Xie Mingyi was a little unconvinced and said angrily.

"Well, why are you still playing with a childish temper and ran away from home when you're not young? Is there anything you can't discuss with your mother?" Xie Anlan sarcastically said.

Xie Mingyi bowed his head and said nothing, and broke up with Xie Anlan.

Although Xie Anlan didn't take these words to heart, when he was sleeping at night, for some reason, they would pop up from his mind from time to time and stab him, making him toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep.

In the end, not knowing what was going on in his mind, he picked up his pillow and walked out of the room by a strange coincidence. Before he could take two steps, he saw Lu Chengjie who was also walking towards him with his pillow in his arms.

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled in the moonlight-drenched corridor.

The author has something to say: Everyone is great, you guessed it right again.
