The steward of the Clothing Bureau finished her work and left. Concubine Xia was so tired that she rubbed her neck. The maid brought iced lotus seed soup to Concubine Xia to relieve the heat. Concubine Xia ate half of the bowl and felt much better. She just put the bowl down and the palace people outside
He came in and said, "My dearest concubine, Mrs. Cheng'an Bo Shizi is suffering from heatstroke due to the heat of giving porridge."
Concubine Xia's hand holding the bowl stopped, "Why are you so careless?"
Let her continue to serve porridge and not let her suffer from heatstroke. Why are you so honest? But this is not a bad thing. Suffering a little bit will make Old Prince Xin and Princess Xin feel more distressed.
After the palace attendant finished his report, he left. After a while, another palace maid came in and reported, "Concubine Xia ordered people to send many rewards to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, saying it was to appease the Jingnan Prince's concubine who was frightened in the palace.
"
Yunjia suffered a heat stroke. Although Concubine Xia was a little worried, her worry was very light. She was more concerned about whether Yunjia was trusted by the old prince and the old princess. But when the maid told Concubine Xia to reward Su Tang, Concubine Xia's face became very angry.
After a long time, "The virtuous concubine looks down upon the Crown Princess of Jingnan."
Can a person who didn't care about the frightened carriage or even falling off a cliff take the accident in the palace seriously? Not only did he go to see Concubine Qin Xian, but he also went to the imperial study to see the emperor, just to appease Jingnan.
It was just the guise of the Crown Princess to win her over. In the past, I really underestimated the ambition of the Concubine Xian. I only focused on guarding against the Queen and quietly allowed the Concubine Xian to become big.
Concubine Xia looked at the lotus seed soup on the small table, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Has the Crown Princess of Jingnan ever gone to donate porridge to provide disaster relief?"
The palace man shook his head, "After Mrs. Cheng'an Bo Shizi gave porridge, many ladies in Kyoto followed suit, but most of them only gave it for a day or two. Only Mrs. Cheng'an Bo Shizi did not give up for a whole day, not to mention the Jingnan Prince and Concubine.
She didn’t even go to the city gate to give out porridge.”
Concubine Xia's face turned a little colder. She had always loved Yunjia. If it weren't for the prince and concubine of Prince Jingnan, Yunjia would no longer believe that the old prince trusted the old princess. How could she be willing to let Yunjia go to the city gate every day?
He was given porridge and suffered from heat stroke and was carried back to Cheng'anbo Mansion.
The Crown Princess of Jingnan was lucky. The emperor loved her so much. He heard that she was almost burned in the imperial garden and even sent Eunuch Yuan to take care of her. The emperor was most worried about the refugee problem, but she refused to even show up.
Also, the Crown Princess of Jingnan is someone who even dares to offend the Queen Mother. With the support of Prince Xin and Prince Jingnan, there is no need to pretend.
Thinking of Yunjia crying and aggrieved in front of her, Concubine Xia's eyes flashed coldly. She didn't know what she thought of, and the corner of Concubine Xia's mouth curled up.
In the house, Su Tang was still busy drawing drawings. Xie Boting walked in. Su Tang looked at him and asked, "Why did you come back so early today? The temporary shelter for the refugees has been built?"
Xie Boting nodded, poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking, sat down opposite Su Tang. When he saw Su Tang covering the drawing, he reached out to take it, but Su Tang grabbed his hand and said, "Don't look at it."
After saying that, Su Tang quickly put the drawings away and put them in the box, as if they were afraid that Xie Boting would look at them.
Xie Boting wanted to say that he caught a glimpse of it when he came in. Although he couldn't see it very clearly, it was obviously a dagger.
Could it be that he was going to give him a dagger so that he could return the dagger that was as sharp as clay to his father?
Su Tang refused to show it, and Xie Boting stopped watching it. Su Tang said, "Are refugees still coming to Beijing in a steady stream?"
Thinking of those refugees, Xie Boting couldn't imagine how serious the drought was in the northwest. Xie Boting didn't say anything, so Su Tang knew that her question was nonsense. She couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that the northwest has been suffering from drought all year round, and this year is particularly serious. It's not the way to go on like this.
, the national treasury already has no money, and disaster relief every year makes things worse. Can’t the Ministry of Industry divert water to the northwest?”
Xie Boting looked at Su Tang, "Did you listen to your father-in-law?"
Su Tang was a little confused, "What does it have to do with my father?"
Xie Boting said, "In the past two days, my father-in-law made three inquiries, asking the emperor to open canals to divert water to irrigate the northwest."
After a pause, Xie Boting said, "This proposal is made every year, but there are many obstacles and it consumes too much manpower and material resources. The court cannot afford it at the moment."
Su Tang said, "Isn't this difficult? Now that there is no war at the border, you can definitely send more soldiers to open canals. Aren't you worried that you can't find a place to hide the iron cavalry? How about hiding them northwest?" This chapter has been completed!
