Seeing Nan Yan's nervous look, Gu Tingqiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal, why do you need to deploy troops?"
"It's like this—"
Only then did Gu Tingqiu talk about what happened recently.
It turned out that when Zhu Feng asked him to build Beiping City, one of the big projects was to expand the city wall, because, according to Zhu Feng's plan, he wanted to expand the city of Beiping and move many people here.
In this way, the original city is too small.
Therefore, the city walls on both sides of the east and west must be pushed out. Naturally, the city walls must be built on the outside first, then the walls inside the city must be pulled down, and then the people must be moved there.
However, in the east of Beiping City, there are some deserted villages. Those villages are not really empty, but the people in those villages do not farm the land for a living, but manage some ancient industries.
For example, a funeral.
For example, engraving a stele.
This type of business, because it is unlucky, is avoided by everyone in the city, and these people have migrated to the villages outside the city. Over time, every village is a professional person.
Now, where the city wall is going to be built, they have to be moved away.
However, things are not that simple.
The officials who read out the official documents of the imperial court were beaten up by the villagers on the first day, and all the official documents were torn up.
After that, several officials were sent to deal with the matter, but the situation became more and more serious.
Among them, the village head of the village where the stele was engraved, led dozens of villagers to confront the government officials. These people carry stones every day, hold carving knives, and are physically fit.
Therefore, there was a commotion in the east of the city.
Nan Yandao: "Drop the troops, are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Exactly."
"Is it necessary to deploy troops?"
"Recently, people from several villages have been arguing with the government, and they are the most violent. We must follow their example, otherwise, other villages will follow suit, and the city will not be built."
"Oh..." Nan Yan nodded, and said again: "However, you don't need to go to this matter, uncle and father?"
After all, Gu Tingqiu is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the construction of the entire Beiping City. Of course, it is impossible for him to run away one by one for this kind of relocation of people.
Gu Tingqiu looked at Nan Yan, smiled and said: "I was seen through by the empress."
"..."
"Actually, Weichen also heard that the empress is back, so I specially took advantage of this to come here to see the empress."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Uncle has a heart."
Gu Tingqiu said again: "By the way, Weichen found some interesting shops in the east of the city, and specially bought some snacks for the empress."
Nanyan's eyes lit up when she heard that it was for food.
Gu Tingqiu waved to the outside, and the attendant who followed him walked in cautiously, saluted Nan Yan, and then put the things in his hand on the table.
Are some nicely packaged boxes.
Gu Tingqiu asked her to go over and open the box to see, there were indeed some fresh food inside.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes with joy.
Gu Tingqiu asked again cautiously: "I don't know if your wife likes spicy food or sour food recently?"
"..."
Nan Yan turned to look at him.
Then he smiled: "Bengong likes to eat sweets recently."
"ah?"
Gu Tingqiu was also taken aback.
He had only heard that pregnant women tasted sour and spicy, but sweet—what was that
But seeing Nan Yan's sly expression, he immediately understood that this imperial concubine did not plan to plan the future of the child in her womb so soon.
So, he said with a smile: "I'm talking too much. These ladies eat first. If you want something, just ask someone to order it, and I will deliver it."
"Please trouble uncle."
"Don't dare."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Shunzi came over to pass on the word that the emperor had let Gu Tingqiu pass, so Gu Tingqiu got up to say goodbye, and left the small courtyard.
Nan Yan immediately ordered Ran Xiaoyu impatiently: "Xiaoyu, quickly bring me something to eat."
Ran Xiaoyu gave her a blank look: "Your Majesty, isn't this Prince Yan's Mansion hungry for your food, why are you so greedy?"
"Hey, haven't you heard that pregnant women eat with two mouths?"
"..."
"I didn't eat much, maybe not enough for him."
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head, then went over to open a box of pastries and brought them to her, Nanyan wiped out half of the box with three blows.
In the evening, Zhu Feng came.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw those boxes piled up in the corner, took off his outer shirt and handed it to Ran Xiaoyu, and then walked to Nan Yan: "Gu Tingqiu brought it to you?"
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded obediently: "It's for food."
"..."
"Does the emperor want to see it?"
Seeing her so frank, Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head.
In fact, he himself knew that Nanyan and the current Gu Tingqiu would not engage in any private exchange, just ask.
This girl is very cautious.
He just said, "Don't eat too much."
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu hung up Zhu Feng's clothes, brought a cup of tea over, and said softly: "The emperor should take care of the empress, she ate most of the box of snacks sent by Mrs. Gu in one afternoon."
"Xiaoyu, you!"
Nan Yan stared at her furiously, with two words burning in her eyes.
traitor!
Ran Xiaoyu had a face as cold as ice, showing no fear.
Zhu Feng said: "Is that so? Well, Xiaoyu, help me keep an eye on her. If she eats too many snacks in the future, half of the dinner will be deducted for her."
"don't want!"
Nan Yan was so frightened that she almost knelt down for him.
As a pregnant woman, how can I deduct food
Does Prince Yan's Mansion really want to abuse a pregnant woman and starve her of food
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to laugh, but immediately agreed, and then went down to pass the dinner, Zhu Feng looked back at her, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty," Nan Yan said softly, "How can this be? The concubine is a pregnant woman."
"..."
"You can't starve pregnant women!"
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and twisted her face: "Are you hungry? Are you greedy!"
"..."
"The doctor said, you can't let you eat too much, especially sweet ones. If you grow too fat, it will be dangerous for you to give birth in the future, do you understand?!"
It turns out that giving birth is so troublesome, you can't be hungry, and you can't eat too much.
Nanyan pursed her mouth.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng was only trying to scare her, and he didn't really want to starve her.
The dinner was delivered, and it was still very rich. Nanyan ate two bowls, and under Ran Xiaoyu's cold gaze, she reluctantly put down the bowls and chopsticks.
After the meal, Zhu Feng still dragged him around in circles in King Yan's mansion.
Nan Yan hugged his arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and walked all the way. It was already autumn at this time, and the flowers and plants began to wither slowly, but the maple leaves above her head turned red.
In the setting sun, like a brilliant red glow.
Nan Yan reached out to pick it up, but she was too short to touch it even on tiptoe.
Zhu Feng on the side looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help laughing. As soon as he raised his hand, he picked a piece for her: "Take it and play."
Nan Yan smiled and held the maple leaf as if holding a flower.
Seeing her happy face, the corners of Zhu Feng's mouth couldn't help curling up.
But, at this moment.
Suddenly there was a popping sound above the head. Looking up, a gray pigeon flapped its wings, flew over the top of the head, and flew to the small courtyard of Nanyan not far ahead.
