Chapter Thirty-Two: Miss Yun Don't Need to Be Self-effacing
Early the next morning, Xiao Zhuo came to see Yun Miaomiao.
"You don't want to go back?"
Yun Miaomiao looked at him very puzzled. It would be better to go back to the county office than to squeeze in here.
Under her intense gaze, Xiao Zhuo moved his face away in embarrassment, "I have my reasons. Just hide it for now. From now on, I will be your cousin. Do you understand?"
He looked arrogant and shy at the same time. He obviously wanted to ask for something from others, but he was still very stubborn.
"Okay, you are the prince and the eldest. You have the final say. When you want to go back, you can tell the younger one and he will take you back personally."
Xiao Zhuo's originally shy face became even more embarrassed after being teased like this, with a few touches of red on his fair and beautiful face.
He growled angrily, "You, you can't speak properly."
He is really a good and honest prince. With just a few simple words and a face like Hongchen's, he obviously doesn't know how to curse.
I heard from County Magistrate Zhao that the environment in the capital was not very good, and it was really rare for the prince to grow up to be so innocent.
"Okay, let me speak nicely. Your Highness, I still have something to advise you. Do you listen?"
Xiao Zhuo heard about the origin of the Yun family from Yun Su, and finally remembered that they fell into this place because of the royal family, but at their core they were still the same family of officials.
"Cousin, just say so."
Well, you're very welcome!
Yun Miaomiao did not agree directly, but took Xiao Zhuo back to the room. As a close sister, she had to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Zhuo.
"Your Highness, I am a rough man and cannot touch your court affairs. Let me put it bluntly. You are the prince. This flood may be your first experience. It is inevitable that you will not be able to accept such a scene.
, But what about the people? People have been experiencing this and being displaced all year round. You just experienced one incident. How much have those innocent people experienced?"
Xiao Zhuo's originally shy face turned cold and pale, and his expression became serious.
Yun Miaomiao paused for a moment and continued, "You are the prince now. No matter where you sit in the future, under you are the common people. In addition to floods, there are locust plagues, snow disasters, droughts, etc., scholars, farmers, industry and commerce,
Those farmers, meeting them once a year, is enough to tear the whole family into pieces. I don’t need to explain how important food is. You also know that if you don’t want to go back, have you ever thought that Magistrate Zhao is just a
A seventh-grade petty official, there are countless high-ranking officials above him who withhold food for various reasons."
"Many times, what they want is just a word. I'm not afraid of you saying I'm presumptuous. The emperor is jealous of you because you are so sharp. What if your sharp edge is so strong that even he doesn't dare to touch you? The suffering of these people, you
Is there a way to solve it? Are you still thinking hard about the food issue?"
Yun Miaomiao gave a general idea, and Xiao Zhuo had to think about the rest. He was Xiao Zhuo, not an ordinary person. He knew how to do many things better than himself.
Yes, he is the prince, and he has the power to control the world.
but...
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Miaomiao, and lightly opened his thin lips, "You said so much, do you want to drive me away?"
Yun Miaomiao choked up and immediately explained, "How could it be? I'm not that kind of person."
"That's fine."
What to do? Yun Miaomiao was confused, and then she heard Xiao Zhuo say those happy words.
"I'll go to the county government office with you."
"Okay, I'll accompany you there now."
Xiao Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her crisp movements.
Xiao Zhuo's things were all washed away by the flood, so there was nothing left to pack. Yun Miaomiao and Yun's father, Yun Mu, confessed to each other and took Xiao Zhuo to the county government office.
Yun Su wanted to go with him, but when he thought that his sister had sent Xiao Zhuo away, and without Xiao Zhuo around, no one would compete with him for his sister, so he lost his mind.
Yun Miaomiao took Xiao Zhuo into the county government office. When County Magistrate Zhao heard that Yun Miaomiao had brought someone back, his face immediately changed, he put down what he was holding and came out to greet him.
County Magistrate Zhao did not expect that Yun Miaomiao was so capable. It was incredible that he was able to find the person after such a long time.
Yun Miaomiao brought the person he had been looking for for more than half a month and brought him back the next day. Is there something fishy about this?
Thinking of this, Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but slow down his pace. Seeing him slow down, the officers and soldiers looked at him in confusion, "Sir, aren't you anxious to see Miss Yun? Why don't you leave?"
Magistrate Zhao pondered for a moment, "How long have we been looking for His Royal Highness?"
"It's the fourteenth day!"
"Yes." Magistrate Zhao's eyes were deep and thoughtful, "So many of us searched for fourteen days, but no one was found. Yun Miaomiao was just one person. After one day, we found him.
Already."
The officers and soldiers thought for a moment, "What do you mean, sir, that Miss Yun cheated?"
Magistrate Zhao did not answer and strolled to the hall.
In the hall, Yun Miaomiao and Xiao Zhuo were sitting on one side, lowering their heads and saying something unknown. When they heard the footsteps, they both raised their heads and looked at Magistrate Zhao.
With just one glance, all the doubts in Magistrate Zhao's mind just now disappeared.
That person is the prince!
County Magistrate Zhao quickly walked over and knelt in front of Xiao Zhuo, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Majesty did not protect me well, which is why Your Highness suffered."
Xiao Zhuo clasped his hands behind his back and said with a hint of coercion in his black eyes, "Magistrate Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with you, get up."
The solemn and inviolable look made Yun Miaomiao glance at him subconsciously. She had been too casual with him before, and she even forgot that his original identity was the prince of a country, respected by thousands of people.
Magistrate Zhao stood up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. Shall we go into the study to talk?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zhuo nodded and walked ahead.
He had lived in Magistrate Zhao's government office before, and was very familiar with the location of the study. Xiao Zhuo walked a few steps, then stopped, looked back at Yun Miaomiao, pointed at her, "You are coming too.
"
Yun Miaomiao was about to say leave, but was strangled in the cradle. With Xiao Zhuo's order, she didn't dare to disobey.
County Magistrate Zhao also glanced at Yun Miaomiao. It seemed that Yun Miaomiao was really quite capable, "Miss Yun, please come over here."
Yun Miaomiao looked at Xiao Zhuo who was walking away, and then at Magistrate Zhao. There was still some hope in her eyes, "Magistrate Zhao, can I not go? I don't understand what you are going to say."
"Miss Yun, there is no need to be modest. If you don't understand it, then you will be even less understanding when you are a subordinate. Miss Yun, please hurry up and don't keep His Highness the Crown Prince waiting."
Finally, Yun Miaomiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and went to the study room with Magistrate Zhao.
