Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

After many investigations, it was basically determined that Daiyu and Zhou Hang were the active hands and feet of Duke Wanhua.She first excused that she was uncomfortable, and asked Han Yan to accompany her to stand by the pond, and then took the opportunity to poison, and then pushed Han Yan into the water.

Although Princess Wanhua was a little cautious, she was a young girl after all, her dim sum was not deep, and she left many clues.The clues they can find out, as the chief of the third department in charge of prisons and supervision, can naturally find out, but for some reason, the results of the case have not been announced for a long time.

It was only later that Daiyu found out that after Princess Fukang knew about the disaster Wanhua had caused, she went into the palace overnight to cry to the Supreme Emperor, and the heart of the Supreme Emperor's old father softened when he cried so much.The reason why Princess Wanhua was able to be safe and sound after such a big disaster was that the Holy Majesty and the Supreme Emperor reached a compromise.

The Holy Majesty raised his hand and let Wanhua go, and the Supreme Emperor escorted the crown prince in front of the officials.

In the end, only Wanhua was grounded, and the maids around her were all exiled.

No way, who let people have a princess mother, who let the Supreme Emperor still build it now.Not to mention that she was just poisoning someone, even if she burned down Miyagi, as long as the Supreme Emperor insisted on protecting him, Li Zhao would have nothing to do.

Zhou Hang went to the palace to meet his father on the second day of Daiyu's birthday, that is, the second day of February.When he didn't show up, Li Zhao was worried all day long, and he couldn't be in a hurry, because he was afraid that he would be wronged and suffer.He was also worried that he would reveal his identity accidentally, or be watched by someone at the moment, so he couldn't eat well or sleep soundly.

But when he saw Zhou Hang appearing in front of him safe and sound, even a little fatter and a little taller, apart from surprise, only anger remained.

For the first time in history, he ordered Zhou Hang to kneel down in a very stern tone, asking why he left without saying goodbye, and where he went these days.When he asked these words, he stared and gritted his teeth. Seeing that his eyeballs were blood red, Zhou Hang couldn't resist, so he had to kneel down.

Not wanting to make up a random reason to lie to Li Zhao, Zhou Hang said frankly, "I don't want to lie to you, so I can't tell you yet."

After hearing this, Li Zhao became even more angry: "Li Hang! This is your explanation! What do you mean you can't tell me now! You are really the emperor, and you have to say whatever I ask you!"

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly yell like this, Zhou Hang trembled subconsciously, looked up at his father, and said with a flattering smile: "Father, calm down first..."

"Calm down!" Li Zhao paced back and forth in the hall full of anger, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.Suddenly, he kicked a coffee table over and shouted: "My prince suddenly disappeared for more than two months. I sent people everywhere to find him but there was no news. Then one day he popped up and said that I was back, but I I can’t tell you where I went and what I did these days. Tell me! How do you let me calm down?!”

Li Zhao has always been a loving father in front of him, and it was the first time Zhou Hang saw Li Zhao get so angry.To be honest, his angry appearance is quite scary, and his sleeping anger is ferocious, very intimidating.But for some reason, Zhou Hang was not afraid at all.From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Hang lacked everything except his father, so he also developed an arrogant and conceited temperament.He didn't apologize to anyone easily, except for Sister Lin, but this time, seeing Li Zhao lose his temper like this, for some reason, he felt a little guilty.

"Father, I'm sorry..." Zhou Hang pursed his lips, raised his head and said, "My son is wrong..."

Li Zhao was full of anger. Hearing this sentence, for some reason, he seemed to have a feeling that he couldn't express it.Frowning, after a long time, he sighed and said, "Forget it, get up..."

Hearing this, Zhou Hang became obedient.Wei Xing'an was directing two young eunuchs to clean up the tea case kicked over by His Majesty the Emperor.As expected of the emperor's errands, they are well-trained and their hands and feet are very dexterous.This is not a big deal, the eunuchs who are used to serving people are very quick to pack their things, the key point is that these people are both quick and quiet, almost making no sound during the whole process.

Give Wei Xing'an a wink, signaling him to bring new tea.

Wei Xing'an understood, and immediately went out to bring a bowl of tea in person.Zhou Hang hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, and held it in front of Li Zhao with a smile.At that time, Li Zhao was already sitting in front of the imperial case to read the memorial after getting angry. Someone leaned over him very like a dog, and said with a smile: "Father just talked a lot, I must be thirsty now, drink some tea to moisten your throat .”

Li Zhao didn't take his eyes off the memorial, and tapped the table, signaling him to put it on the table.

Zhou Hang had no choice but to do so.

But the tea had been left for a while, and His Majesty did not see him enjoying it. Zhou Hang moved the tea bowl to His Majesty, and touched his hand again.Only then did His Majesty turn his head slightly, glanced at Zhou Hang, said "um", frowned, put down the memorial, and reached out to pick up the tea bowl.

Zhou Hang looked at him expectantly, meaning drink fast!

His Majesty the Emperor slowly lifted the lid of the bowl, first squinted and sniffed, then took a sip and frowned.

Zhou Hang asked, "How?"

His Majesty put down the tea bowl: "It's cold."

Zhou Hang quickly picked up the tea bowl and touched it, but it was cold.nonsense!Father Emperor, you don’t drink it on shelf, it’s no wonder it doesn’t cool after so long.It's no wonder that these words can't be said at the moment. After serving the old man to drink tea, he is still begging.

Passing the tea bowl to Wei Xing'an, Zhou Hang said, "Here comes the heat exchange!"

When the hot tea was delivered again, Li Zhaocai drank the tea under the service of his son, and felt that it was very beneficial, so this tone was completely smooth.Zhou Hang volunteered to grind ink for him again, Li Zhao said: "You don't know how to grind, so don't make trouble, let Wei Xing'an grind it, you read these memorials." Said and handed Zhou Hang a stack of memorials.

Zhou Hang: "..." It's so thick, I probably won't be able to read it all tonight.

"That...Father, can I discuss something with you before reading the memorial?"

"What's the matter?" Li Zhao put down the memorial in his hand and looked at his son, "Speak if you have something to do, and read the memorial if you have nothing to do. Don't waste time."

Zhou Hang wanted to use some opening remarks to draw out what he wanted to say, but after hesitating for a while, he said, "I heard...we are at war with Rongguo?"

"Well, then what?"

"Can I be a general too?"

Hearing this, Li Zhao didn't want to talk any more, but still looked down at his memorial, and just said lightly: "No!"

Zhou Hang felt that the emperor refused so simply because the quota of generals was already full.He settled for the next best thing and said, "Let's discuss it. It's okay to be a captain instead of a general." He watched Li Zhao's expression, and suddenly opened his mouth, "No way, don't tell me I'm a dignified prince. You can only be a soldier in the battlefield?"

Li Zhao raised his head: "You should give up your will to go to the battlefield, and take a good look at your memorial."

Zhou Hang said with resentment on his face: "Your Majesty, the greatest father in the world, can you really not discuss it?"

"Slick-tongued!" Li Zhao smiled and shook his head, "Don't think so much, it's not your turn to go to the battlefield as a crown prince."

Han Yan has lived in the Lin Mansion for the third day.For the past three days, Lin Daiyu sent people to take care of her every day, and Han Yan's mood and complexion improved a lot.Knowing that Hanyan's life would not be easy when she returned to Duke Lu's mansion, she didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Lin Daiyu didn't say anything about letting her go back.Until one day, Duke Lu's mansion sent someone to pick up Miss Er.This is already the sixth day in the Lin Mansion, Han Yan's body has completely recovered, and there is no reason to live in the Lin Mansion anymore, and Daiyu has no reason to refuse.

Although Han Yan is timid and cowardly, she is not stupid.She knew that Daiyu was really good for her, and no one in Duke An's mansion looked down on her.Although she was the victim this time, even though many people asked her again and again, she did not say that it was the elder sister who pushed her into the water.But since the eldest sister has murderous intentions, she will not let her go easily when she returns to An Guogong's mansion. She is deeply afraid that if she goes, she will go to hell.

Holding Daiyu's hand, Hanyan cried very pitifully.

"Miss Lin, please help me, I'm going to die once I get back, I don't want to die..."

Daiyu was a little soft-hearted by her crying, she sighed and said: "Even if I helped you push the man from the Duke of Lu's mansion this time, I can't push you this time, but you are from the Duke of Lu's mansion after all. Girl, I have no reason to keep you forever."

Han Yan said: "Miss Lin, I know you are kind-hearted, so you can push me this time first, I beg you..."

Daiyu also knew that Han Yan's going back this time might be a disaster. Although she didn't have any deep relationship with Han Yan, she couldn't bear to see such a flowery girl ruined.So she said that the residual poison of the cold smoke has not been cleared, her body has not recovered, and she still needs to observe for a few days, and she declined in the future.

But this is always not an option.Knowing that Lu Guogong's ancestral home is in Hongwu County, Shandong Province, and he is also a wealthy family in the local area. Lu Guogong's mother is nostalgic for her homeland. After the old Guogong died, she helped her spirit back to her hometown. Now she lives in the old house in Hongwu County. The old man keeps watch.Daiyu felt that it was just an excuse to say that she was nostalgic for the old land or guarding the spirit of the old Duke. The root cause was that Princess Fukang was too domineering, and Mrs. Tai did not deal with her.

Daiyu asked Hanyan if she would like to stay away from the capital and go back to her ancestral home. Although Hongwu County is located in a remote place, it is not as prosperous as the capital.But Mrs. Tai is Han Yan's real grandmother, so she won't abuse her.Moreover, the old house in Hongwu County is the base of Mrs. Tai. No matter how powerful Princess Fukang is in the capital, her hands cannot go there.If Hanyan really went to Hongwu County and won the love of Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai would naturally make a fuss about her marriage, and it wouldn't be too bad.

If Hanyan is willing to leave the capital and go to Hongwu County, Daiyu intends to help her facilitate this matter.If she is greedy for the prosperity of the capital and is reluctant to leave, that is her own choice, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it has nothing to do with Lin Daiyu.

Hearing this, Han Yan wept with joy: "Thank you Miss Lin, I am willing to go back to my ancestral home."

The sun and the moon rotate, and the time is fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the North Army has achieved a phased victory.Xiao Chenyu performed very well in this battle.During the great march, he led [-] elite troops into the enemy's territory for several hundreds of miles. They won successive battles and defeated Dingyang Emperor's elite soldiers. When they saw Xiao Chenyu's flag, they fled in all directions.Xiao Chenyu joined the army led by Qin Guang outside Mingzhu City, the capital of Rongguo. Mingzhu City is next to a lake. It is the most fertile place in the northern grassland, and has always been known as the pearl on the grassland.

After more than ten days of hard fighting, the army almost wiped out the remnants and scattered soldiers around Mingzhu City. Now Mingzhu City has become an empty city, and the time to break the city is just around the corner.

Holding the pond newspaper, Zhou Hang expressed deep regret for not being able to participate in the battle this time.

Li Zhao saw his son staring at the Tang newspaper sent by the border for a long time, sighed, and began his court training: "Hang'er, you are the prince, and you should think about how to govern the country well, instead of thinking about it all day long." It's the fights and kills."

"But if there is no war, there will be no peace at the border, and ordinary people will not be able to live well!"

"Wars are the general's business."

"The general obeys the emperor's command."

His Majesty the Emperor felt that there was an obstacle in communicating with his son, so he picked out a copy from a pile of memorials and handed it to Zhou Hang: "You should first study how to solve the severe drought in Shandong."

Zhou Hang picked up the memorial and fanned it, secretly thinking that it is only May, why is it so hot.

"Shandong?" He frowned.

Li Zhao nodded: "Shandong is facing another severe drought this year, and there will be no good harvests for this season's wheat. If the heavens don't send rain, there is no hope for next season's crops."

The memorial is full of scenes of how severe the disaster was, how difficult the people were, and how the crops withered.They are all difficulties, and there is not even a solution or a feasible plan. These officials are really serious. You have no idea to push all the problems to the emperor.

It's no wonder that the emperor often reads the memorial and gets furious, no one can bear it!

According to Zhou Hang's understanding, the reason for the successive droughts in Shandong is the lack of water conservancy facilities.To completely solve this problem, we must vigorously build water conservancy projects, divert water from the Yellow River for irrigation, and build farmland water conservancy facilities integrating storage, diversion, irrigation and drainage.Once the project is completed, it will not only prevent drought, but also prevent flooding.

Li Zhao felt that although Zhou Hang's idea was very good, it was still difficult to implement it.

It is not to say that the farmland water conservancy facilities will be built.It is a very professional project, at least, it must be carried out by a knowledgeable person.On the second day, Li Zhao specially ordered the ministers to discuss this issue in the court hall, and the ministers naturally agreed.

But the difficulty lies in who will be sent to build the project.

On that day, Li Zhao left the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to discuss matters, and asked him if the Ministry of Industry had such skilled craftsmen.

Although the Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction projects across the country, including civil and water conservancy projects, farming, and handicrafts, etc., during the years of Emperor Taishang’s rule, there were not many water conservancy projects. The main work of the Ministry of Industry is to build a palace and repair the royal ancestral halls and temples. and so on.It turns out that although there are many skilled craftsmen, most of them are old and do not have so much energy to do such a big project, and young people do not have the ability.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was very distressed, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and recommend three people.

One of them, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was older and knew about crafts, and the other two young people just made up for it.

Li Zhao immediately ordered someone to send the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.The servant's name is Zhang Xinghua, he is in his sixtieth year, he looks a little old, his ears and eyes are not working well.Li Zhao asked several times, but he didn't hear him. Li Zhao was anxious, and he was even more anxious. He kowtowed on the ground in a hurry, and said, "The old minister is dead, the old minister is dead, his eyes are blurred and his ears are deaf."

Li Zhao looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "This is the person you recommended?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he knelt on the ground in fright and said, "I'm guilty."

Li Zhao said coldly: "Go and call someone reliable!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry not only sweated this time, but was paralyzed to the ground in fright: "Report to Your Majesty, the talent of the Ministry of Industry is not sustainable, this one is... the most reliable, this Mr. Zhang He presided over the construction of water conservancy projects, and he built the open channel weir."

Li Zhao still knows about Mingqu Weir, which is between the southwestern hills.Before it was built, the downstream often suffered from floods. Later, the Emperor Taishang boldly used a scholar from a poor family to build the open channel weir. After the completion, the drought and flood were under control, and the downstream area was fertile and wild, with remarkable results.

At that time, he was less than ten years old. Once the Supreme Emperor summoned the man who built the canal. He saw it from a distance. He just thought it was a tall young man, and he didn't want more than 30 years to pass in a blink of an eye.Back then, the high-spirited young man turned out to be so fast-paced, it was really a teaser.

Li Zhao admired and cherished the minister who had benefited the common people.

"Wei Xing'an, give Zhang Shilang a seat!" Li Zhao said.

Wei Xing'an agreed, and moved the stool himself to help Zhang Xinghua sit down.The latter was flattered, and struggled to kneel down to thank him. Li Zhao said, "It's okay, it's okay, Zhang Aiqing doesn't need to be polite."

Because of Zhang Xinghua's poor hearing, Li Zhao deliberately amplified his voice.

After Zhang Xinghua heard this sentence, he still insisted on thanking him, and said in his mouth: "The rules cannot be broken."

The two communicated loudly like this.Zhang Xinghua said that if he is asked to build water conservancy, he will not be able to do it, because the skilled craftsmen are gone.Although he is also involved in water conservancy, he is not very proficient. When the canal was built, he only presided over it and put forward general renovation suggestions, but those skilled craftsmen were the ones who implemented it.

In the later period of the Supreme Emperor's reign, he did not pay attention to water conservancy construction. Now that there is a shortage of talents, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice!

Except for Zhang Xinghua, no one else in the Ministry of Industry has experience in new water conservancy projects.

For this reason, Li Zhao was very worried.

He shared the dinner with Zhou Hang, and after the food was removed, Li Zhao ordered Wei Xing'an to put out the desk.Zhou Hang stood still and did not leave. Li Zhao looked at him and said, "It's been a busy day today, and you are tired too. Go back and rest earlier."

Zhou Hang asked: "Father doesn't rest?"

Li Zhao pointed to the high pile of memorials on the desk and said, "These are urgent memorials, and we have to finish them today."

Zhou Hang curled his lips and said, "Everyone envies the emperor's nobleness and wealth, but the emperor is also a dirty job, and he can't retire?"

Li Zhao laughed and said, "Nonsense again!"

Zhou Hang walked to the desk, picked up a memorial, weighed it, and said, "Father, since you ascended the throne, the memorials that have been approved must be worth a thousand catties." Li Zhao pulled it from his hand and wrinkled, He said angrily: "If you want to help, just read those memorials. If you don't help, just leave. I don't have as much leisure as you."

Not saying to help or not to help, Zhou Hang walked up to Li Zhao and said, "I have one more thing to tell my father."

"What's the matter?"

"It's about building water conservancy projects."

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows to look at him, Zhou Hang smiled, and continued, "I think there is only one person, and he will definitely be able to complete this project."

Can someone build this project?Li Zhao became interested and asked who it was.Zhou Hang said mysteriously: "Father also knows about this person, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that he is not in the capital now, but there are some troubles, and even if this person is in the capital, he may not be willing to work for the father..."

Li Zhao fell into deep thought, raised his head for a long time and said, "You are talking about Sang Sheng, right?"

Zhou Hang nodded and said, "It's him."

Building a farmland water conservancy is nothing to Sang Sheng, but he and Li Xu don't know when Yunyou will return, and the water can't quench his thirst. Li Zhao feels that this is an urgent matter, and he can't count on that wandering Jianghu. Sang Sheng.

After unanimous discussions among the cabinet ministers, it was finally decided to make a list and recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the world, which might be more reliable.The imperial list was quickly posted, and the next thing was to wait and see, but no one dared to reveal the imperial list.

Since Zhou Hang returned to the palace, he has hardly been idle, either studying with Lin Ruhai, or accompanying the emperor to approve memorials.

It's so easy to sneak away to the Imperial Garden today, and meet the second prince again.After the Chinese New Year, under the plea of ​​the imperial concubine, the second prince was relieved of the confinement.But since then, he has become more jealous towards Zhou Hang, seeing Zhou Hang is like meeting an enemy.

The second prince taunted him around the corner, with an unruly expression, like a peacock.

Of course, Zhou Hang didn't suffer any disadvantages, the second prince's nose was almost crooked when he left.

Just as Zhou Hang was about to walk back, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him.He turned around abruptly, and saw a carrot head staring at him, seeing that he saw him, the little carrot head ran away. 】】

Zhou Hang went up and grabbed him: "Chengjie, why are you running? Am I that scary?"

"Brother Prince, please forgive me..." The fourth prince burst into tears, "I didn't mean to peek at you."

Zhou Hang rolled his eyes: "I didn't want to do anything to you, did you?"

"Really. Brother Prince, didn't you hit me?"

Zhou Hang was a little puzzled: "Who said I was going to hit you?"

Zhou Hang just asked casually, and didn't expect that someone would speak ill of him behind his back.Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince blinked and said, "Second Brother!"

"..." Zhou Hang smoked from his seven orifices, good second prince, you are betraying me in front of children, right?

There are still two days until the Dragon Boat Festival, and the birth of Yingchun is coming soon.While preparing things for the Dragon Boat Festival, Daiyu ordered Huier to pick out a lot of high-quality brocades in the warehouse, and made a few small clothes by herself, and prepared to send them to Yingchun at that time.

Zhou Hang is also in a good mood these few days, because his prince's east palace has been repaired, and he can move out on a good day.Seeing Zhou Hang's proud expression, Li Zhao said, "Although the East Palace has been completed, many furnishings have not yet been finished. Besides, the newly built wall has not yet dried, and it is very damp. It is better to let it air out first. You don't have to rush out. .”

Zhou Hang was in a hurry to move out of the palace, so it would be convenient to meet his younger sister Lin, so he would not listen to Li Zhao's words.

After thinking for a while, he said: "My son has already gone to see it, and the walls are almost dry. As for the decoration, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pick out some things and put them up. It's not too much trouble."

His Majesty the Emperor was a little hurt: "You want to leave as a father so much?"

Zhou Hang inexplicably felt goosebumps all over the place, he laughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "Father, don't you think this sounds, uh, a bit nasty..."

His Majesty the Emperor snorted, pretending to be received: "Let's go, let's go, if you don't want to stay..."

Zhou Hang: "..." Father, don't you think you miss a bitter woman very much now?

The question is why do you show such a resentful face to your son, it's very awkward, okay?

In the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom of wearing sachets to drive away evil spirits.Daiyu personally made three sachets this year, one for her father, one for Zhou Hang, and one for her father to present to the Holy Majesty.As for why Zhou Hang didn't give it directly to the Holy One?Isn't she and Zhou Hang not married yet? If Zhou Hang is entrusted to send her off, it would be suspected of being a private relationship.

Reciprocity, the emperor also gave Daiyu a sachet, and added a few bolts of fine brocade.

On the day of Duanyang Festival, the kitchen made a lot of zongzi, including candied dates, fruits, taro, bean paste, vegetarian and vegetarian meat.Lin Ruhai couldn't come back from the yamen, but it happened that two aunts came to talk, so Daiyu let them eat together.

Aunt Liu wore a new pink dress.She seemed to like this dress very much, and kept asking Daiyu if the color and pattern looked good, and Daiyu said: "It's very good for my aunt to wear this dress, and your complexion will be whiter."

Aunt Liu raised her head triumphantly, as if she was praised by people all over the world.

Daiyu asked again: "Does Aunt Liu like pink?"

Aunt Liu said: "Pink is the freshest and most beautiful color. Look at the peach blossoms on the trees in spring, aren't they pink?"

"Since that's the case, do I have something to give to my aunt?"

Aunt Liu was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

Daiyu said: "It's not a good thing. I just got a new batch of satin, which is an excellent material. Auntie knows that I don't like too bright colors, so I keep two pink ones. I just want to Who would wear it properly. It just so happened that I saw my aunt today, and I just remembered that the material is the best for my aunt."

Then he ordered Zijuan and Xueyan to open the warehouse to get it.Naturally, the two aunts couldn't treat each other more favorably, so Daiyu asked the other aunt to bring two horses as well.

After a short time, Zicuckoo and Snow Goose came back, holding two bolts of satin in each hand.

In Zicuckoo's hands are the two pink ones, and in Snow Goose's hands are two goose-yellow ones.

The two aunts saw the color and the material, which was much better than what they usually wear, and knew that it was made of internal materials, and they were overjoyed.Several people gathered together to discuss the fabrics, Huier hurried over and said that the Spring Festival had started.

Yingchun has been pregnant for more than nine months, and it was time to give birth, but Daiyu didn't expect such a coincidence that it would be launched on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.As Daiyu's status, it's not easy to go to the mansion to visit in person, but she was worried about welcoming the spring, so she sent Hui'er to bring two women and two maids to report the situation at any time, in case there was any danger, she would come here immediately. It's not too late to send Lingquan water there.

The two aunts were also sensible, and when they saw that Daiyu had something to do with her, they happily left with satin in their arms.

Yingchun started after lunch, and the child was not born until evening. It was a daughter.Huier came back when it was dark, Daiyu asked her how Yingchun and the child were doing, Huier said: "My cousin and my sister are all good, my cousin is very happy, and even rewarded the servants, even the servants got two Two rewards."

As she said that, she took out the reward money and showed it to Daiyu, with a smile on her face.

Fearing that she would lose a lot of heart on the way, she deliberately put the reward in her purse.It's not that she cares about these two taels of silver, she is by the girl's side, she has never seen any good things, and she has never won any good rewards, all of which are worth more than these two taels of silver.The reason why she carried it carefully was that she wanted to show it to the girl. The girl cared so much about the cousin girl, and she would be happy to hear that it was the cousin who gave birth to a daughter for the cousin girl.

"As long as the mother and daughter are safe." Daiyu smiled and said, "Since the silver is your reward, you can put it away. Besides, you have done a good job in this matter, and I will reward you."

Hui'er said: "I'll be happy as long as I don't smash slaves for doing things for the girl. How dare I ask for any reward?"

Daiyu said: "The girl rewarded you, you are not allowed to refuse."

Hui'er said: "Your servant obeys."

Daiyu then took off a bracelet she was wearing and rewarded her, and Huier took it flattered.

Then Huier said another thing, which made Daiyu feel a little sad.

When Yingchun was in the delivery room, her maids were waiting outside the delivery room, and Xiuju was naturally there too.In the second half of the day, everyone was tired, but they could still persevere, but Xiuju suddenly fainted.They helped her go down to rest, and invited the doctor to come to see her, but she was two months pregnant.It has been a few months since Xiuju was promoted as a girl in the house, and it is not surprising that everyone has heard about it.

What makes Daiyu sad is that Yingchun had just saved her life to give birth to a daughter in her husband's family, when she heard that Tongfang was pregnant, she might not feel well.And regardless of whether Xiuju's child is a boy or a girl, when she gives birth to the child, she will have to be raised as an aunt.

If Xiuju gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son, and Yingchun's status in her husband's family would be greatly affected.

Now Daiyu can only hope that Yingchun will be more open, and the most difficult to cure is the disease caused during confinement.

Besides, Yingchun knew about this and cried behind her back, but there was nothing she could do.Thinking that compared with other families, the husband is really good to me, which man in the world does not have three wives and four concubines?Concubine and concubine are very common things, not to mention that Xiuju is the maid I brought up since I was a child, and I am very respectful to myself.Her prostitution paperwork is in her own hands, so it is expected that it will not be disadvantageous to her, it is better than her husband being caught by an outsider.My top priority is to take good care of my body, strive to get pregnant as soon as possible, and give birth to a man who will inherit the incense.

After working for many days, Li Zhao finally gave Zhou Hang a day off.

Zhou Hang decided to spend this rare day well, he was going out of the palace to go shopping.It just so happens that this day falls on the fifteenth day, and the first and fifteenth day of every month is the market period in the capital. There are special vendors who sell hundreds of things at that time, and some ordinary people take out the idle things at home. Change money to spend.Before this time, there was a constant stream of people coming and going on all the streets in the capital.This is also the busiest and most fun time in the capital, and you can see many sights that you can't usually see.

Zhou Hang took Koizumi out of the palace, rode slowly, and planned to go shopping in the street first, and buy some rare and interesting things to send to Daiyu.I just left the Yamen where Dali Temple is located, and the market is already full of traffic, very bustling.Going forward, it is not convenient to ride a horse, and I almost ran into pedestrians several times.

He found a restaurant to store the horse there, gave the clerk a reward of two taels of silver, and told him to take good care of it and feed it the best fodder.

Here Zhou Hang and Koizumi Shi Shiran were walking on the street. They saw pedestrians and carriages walking in a mess. Some walked on the left and some walked on the right. It was very chaotic. Sometimes people collided with others, and people collided with carriages and horses. , which is easy to be congested and very unsafe.Zhou Hang secretly thought that it would be much better if the traffic rules were standardized like in modern times.

There were few people in ancient times, and there was generally no congestion at other times except for the market period.Therefore, there is no need to formulate so many rules and regulations like modern times, and there is no need for traffic lights, as long as it is stipulated that both pedestrians and vehicles should keep to the right.

Zhou Hang went shopping for a long time and bought several rare things.Lin Ruhai wasn't around, so he didn't dare to pay a visit, in case it got out, it would affect Daiyu's reputation.Although Zhou Hang is not an ancient person, and he doesn't care about that bullshit reputation, he doesn't allow others to say anything bad about Daiyu behind his back.Koizumi is a eunuch, and if he sent him to Lin's residence, even if people knew about it, it wouldn't matter.

After returning home, Zhou Hang told Li Zhao his idea about traffic rules.

After Li Zhao finished listening, he was silent for a while, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory and contemplation.Zhou Hang looked at him for a while, but couldn't see him speaking, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and called out, "Father?"

When Li Zhao turned his head, Zhou Hang was stunned for a moment. He saw his great and wise father's eyes turned red.This made him very surprised. He just said something about regulating traffic. He didn't say anything outrageous or sensational. How could the emperor have such a reaction!

But soon, he knew why.

Lifting his head, Li Zhao said sadly, "Your mother also said that..."

He was silent for a while, and then said leisurely, "I remember one time back then, when I went out with your mother, it was also at the big market, and she said the same thing."

Seeing how sad he seemed, Zhou Hang pursed his lips and asked, "Father, do you miss my mother?"

Seeing Li Zhao raised his head, Zhou Hang felt that he had asked an extremely stupid question.You can tell by looking at the expression, do you still need to ask this kind of question?Zhou Hang raised his head, squeezed out an unnatural smile, and said, "I think, why don't I?"

Zhou Hang didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment, as if it was inappropriate to say anything, after a long time, he let out an "oh" and didn't continue.Li Zhao was waiting for Zhou Hang to speak. After waiting for a while, he only waited for this word, so he had to speak by himself.

"Hang'er, your mother... how have you been these years?"

Zhou Hang thought for a while and said, "Very good." A strong woman in charge of a huge company, although she has no intention of remarrying, there are quite a few suitors, and they are all handsome men with good conditions.In addition to work, I usually go shopping and travel to amuse my son, and my life is quite nourishing.

Hearing what Zhou Hang said, Li Zhao felt mixed feelings.He thought that after such a long time, his son had revealed his wife's situation to him, but who would have thought that he would still use such words to perfuse himself.He is not young, he will be old in a few years, and he doesn't know when he will be completely forgiven by his wife and children.

Zhou Hang felt that this topic was not very good, and was about to change the topic, but Jia Yuanchun came over suddenly, saying that he was delivering fish soup to the Holy Majesty on behalf of the Empress Dowager, so Li Zhao disappeared.

After receiving the emperor's instruction, Wei Xing'an stood up straight, and shouted loudly: "It is said that Lady Jia has an audience—"

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Yuanchun was seen walking gracefully from the palace gate.She was wearing a peach-pink palace gown for a female official, with a few light green flowers embroidered on the skirt, and a gold silk eight-treasure hairpin on her hair, which was dazzling and dazzling, embellished with pearls and emeralds, and walked in with a smile, like a branch of flowers welcoming the spring. The peach blossoms of the wind are delicate and charming with a hint of charm.

Seemingly unexpected that the crown prince was also in the hall, Jia Yuanchun froze for a moment when he saw Zhou Hang. Although it was fleeting, Zhou Hang noticed it.Slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, watching Jia Yuanchun prostrating gracefully, Zhou Hang raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "Excuse me."

Jia Yuanchun looked at Li Zhao again, his beautiful eyes were delicate and charming, his cheeks were rosy and shy.

"The Empress Dowager heard that Your Majesty is working hard on the affairs of state here, so special people made fish soup. This is fish soup made from high-quality crucian carp. It has been boiled for two hours with a slow fire. It is very delicious. Crucian carp has The effect of invigorating the spleen and removing dampness, harmonizing the stomach, promoting blood circulation and dredging the collaterals, warming the middle and lowering the Qi, the Empress Dowager said that it is very good for Her Majesty to use it."

Li Zhao glanced at Jia Yuanchun, and said lightly, "Let it go."

I never thought that the emperor would have nothing more to say after just saying such a sentence, Jia Yuanchun was stunned.This stunned for a long time, until Wei Xing'an went to pick up the fish soup, she still hadn't reacted.Li Zhao looked up at her again, frowned, as if remembering something. "That's right!" He said, "Thank you on behalf of the Queen Mother, and say that the fish soup is delicious."

Although Li Zhao didn't drink any fish soup at all, it was obvious that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but who made him the emperor, Jia Yuanchun still said respectfully: "Your servant obeys."

Zhou Hang looked at Jia Yuanchun's leaving back, then looked at his father, frowning...

Li Zhao stared at his son and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

Zhou Hang didn't know why, but blurted out what was in his heart: "Father, are you really going to accept Jia Yuanchun?"
