Chapter 340: The Beautiful Wife and Concubine
"I understand how you feel." After helping Qiao Wenzhi put on her shoes, Feng Zhaoan's voice softened slightly, unlike when he said the reason just now, which was a bit irritable.
Then he explained that this woman had a sick mother-in-law at home, and she raised two chickens to lay eggs for her mother-in-law to take care of. She saved two eggs and hatched the chicks, and the family frugally fed them.
Recently, not only the mother-in-law and the child have become ill, but the woman is also afraid that others will say she is unfilial, so she wants to secretly hide an egg and cook it for the child to eat later, but who knows, this little girl will ruin it all
The woman was so angry that she reported it directly to the official.
After listening to Feng Zhaoan's explanation, Zhou Ming fell silent.
Both of them are poor people, so they can only follow the law. The little girl did steal, so she can only be severely punished.
Of course, it's just an egg, and the Yamen can save it, but if someone else encounters this kind of thing in the future and comes to the Yamen for help, will Feng Zhaoan take care of it or not?
If Guanba doesn't have the strength, just leave it alone, others will definitely have objections to the Yamen, thinking that Feng Zhaoan is just looking at others for information.
The court's disaster relief is only for emergency relief. In a really poor place like this, disaster relief is not a solution.
"It was me who spoke fiercely just now. I hope Master Feng will not care about it." Zhou Ming sighed and admitted that she was in a bad mood, and then she turned her anger on Feng Zhaoan.
"Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, and she is a blessing to the people." Feng Zhaoan shook his head and said.
In the future, Zhou Ming will become the mother of the country, and then the emperor and empress will work together to make the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Zhou Ming just twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, didn't say much, and returned to his room in silence.
After waiting for everyone to disperse, He Liangdi went to Qiao Wenzhi's house and said she was there to apologize for Zhou Ming, so that Qiao Wenzhi should not care about it.
Originally, I was very happy when I came here, but when I went out today, everyone was silent in a tacit understanding.
At night, just after Shen Qiuhe finished his dinner, Feng Zhaoan came over. The two chatted for a while outside, and Shen Qiuhe came in. "What my sister-in-law wants is for the second sister to follow us."
Everyone has seen the situation today. Feng Zhaoan is a good official, and there is not much money in the yamen. Qiao Wenzhi will not endure hardships if he follows him here. It is better to follow Shen Qiuhe and the others, and at least he will not have to worry about food and clothing.
Qiao Guxin frowned slightly, "What does Wen Zhi mean?"
"Of course she listens to her sister-in-law." Shen Qiuhe responded, because he was leaving tomorrow and had to settle down tonight. After that, he went out.
Qiao Guxin was wearing a cloak, standing in the house with the window open and looking outside, moving her fingers slightly.
But he didn't ask Qiao Wenzhi either.
Early the next morning, everyone got up and went on the road again. Now everyone was very worried when they mentioned the journey, but at least they didn't mention it before their eyes, and they could reach the fiefdom in seven or eight days.
His Royal Highness the Prince said he was sick all the way, and no one else had seen his face except He Liangdi who could get close.
Originally, this kind of thing should have been the most suspicious thing for Zhou Ming, but in the end, Zhou Ming didn't take it seriously at all. Anyway, she could say a few words to everyone, but she kept a respectful distance from the prince.
On the contrary, I felt that the prince's illness was really good, so he didn't have to pay attention everywhere, lest He Liangdi misunderstood that she was trying to compete for favor.
On the day they arrived at the fiefdom, Crown Prince Li personally greeted them. Originally, the fiefdom meant for them to live in the palace, but after all, Prince Li had already openly said that he wanted to establish himself as king. In this case, this was a visit to relatives as well as a talk.
The messenger of peace should live in the post house.
In response, Prince Li's crown prince Zhao Heng agreed.
"My cousin, the prince, has had a hard journey, so I will hold a banquet at the palace tomorrow to welcome him." Outside the carriage, Crown Prince Heng said pleasantly, but did not dismount, as if he only said a few polite words.
Shen Qiuhe looked around, and all the people coming and going seemed to be wearing rich clothes. It looked like a prosperous place, and there were many foreigners.
The riding whip held by Crown Prince Heng was inlaid with jade, and the tassels on his girdle were also made of gold thread. This Crown Prince's body was full of wealth.
Although Prince Heng is a boy, he has the appearance of a girl. He looks very similar to Princess Yuliu, but his eyebrows are a bit more enchanting than Princess Yuliu.
"Young Master Laoheng, but I am not in good health. I'm afraid it will take two days before I can say hello to my uncle." From inside the carriage, the prince's voice came weakly, followed by several coughs.
He Liangdi lifted the curtain of the carriage and came down, bowing slightly to Prince Heng, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, Your Highness has been injured by Fenghan from the hard work all the way. After a few days of rest, he will definitely go to the palace in person."
Prince Heng clasped his fists and said, "I heard that the prince's cousin is getting married. I guess this is the emperor's sister-in-law?"
He Liangdi's face changed slightly after hearing this. The people next to him quickly explained to Crown Prince Heng that this was He Liangdi.
After hearing this, Crown Prince Heng immediately snorted coldly, as if he was aloof and did not take He Liangdi seriously.
Zhou Ming sat on the carriage and took in the following scene. Even though the fiefdom was not as strict with rules as the capital, she did not believe that Crown Prince Heng would really know nothing about it. Besides, even if it was a courtesy, it should be done. You can guess He Liangdi’s identity.
Zhou Ming's face darkened. She gave in to He Liangdi at every turn, fearing that He Liangdi would misunderstand and hold a grudge. She didn't expect that Prince Heng would touch her bottom line as soon as they met.
Then he suddenly lifted the curtain and came down, "Does Prince Heng want to see me?"
As soon as Zhou Ming spoke, everyone looked away. Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Is the emperor's sister-in-law really lazy? She doesn't take care of her brother when he is sick, but he passes his responsibilities to his beautiful concubine?"
Zhou Ming raised his head fiercely and glanced at Zhao Heng coldly, "Is Prince Heng preaching to me? You can't be polite when you see me, and you don't have any moral rules. How can you have the face to do this to me?" Telling people how to behave? Noisy!"
"You!" Crown Prince Heng scolded Zhou Ming, gritting his teeth. He was really born into a general, and he was very reckless.
Zhou Ming rolled her eyes at Crown Prince Heng and ignored him. Instead, she went to support He Liangdi and said, "I won't be so angry after arguing with such a person. You have worked hard on this journey."
"This is what I should do." He Liangdi responded in a low voice, and then got on the carriage.
Shen Qiuhe drove his horse forward and walked to Prince Heng, "I'd like to trouble Prince Heng to give way."
"Chen Qiuhe?" Crown Prince Heng looked Shen Qiuhe up and down, then took a step back and said with a half-smile, "Help me, my dear Madam."
Shen Qiuhe turned around and glanced at Prince Heng, the riding crop in his hand moved slightly, and then snorted disdainfully.
Looking at the team drifting away, Prince Heng curled his lips and said, "Yu Liu has a good taste."
Shen Qiuhe is somewhat interesting, but I don't know what kind of person his wife is. To be able to hold Shen Qiuhe firmly in her hands, she must have the same fierce temperament as the crown princess.
His hand naturally dragged his chin, and his eyes showed a certain determination to win.
