The current situation was chaotic, and the ministers became more cautious. Today, when the court is in, there is a low air pressure above the court.
The emperor's face is still all day long, and the cowardly minister has already taken leave of absence under the pretext of being embarrassed.
The emperor was upset in his heart, so he simply stopped for three days, and there was nothing very urgent. Don't disturb him.
However, everything can be delayed, except that the disaster in Jiaodong County cannot be delayed. There are already thousands of refugees congested at the gate of the city.
The guards at the gate of the city are already excellent soldiers transferred from the army, holding weapons in their hands and guarding the gate.
The people came from Jiaodong County on the trek, and most of them died of starvation, exhaustion, and heatstroke along the way. After reaching the capital, they were stopped at the gate of the city.
Above the tower, the second prince had his hands behind him, looking at the ragged-clothed people of Jiaodong County underneath, shaking his head and sighing slightly. However, there was no trace of movement or pity on his face.
In his eyes, these people who have just experienced natural disasters, man-made disasters, and family destruction are nothing more than a group of humble ants.
The second prince turned his head to the little yellow door and said, "Look, a bunch of mud monkeys, how funny!"
Xiaohuangmen was born in a common people's home, and he entered the palace as a eunuch since his family was not good. He felt the same feeling when he looked at these frail people. Hearing the irony of the second prince, his breath was a little uneven. He adjusted his thoughts before flattering: "The second prince said that these people are humble and unworthy of mention. Your Royal Highness should go back to the palace to avoid staining your eyes."
Rao wanted to control his emotions again, Xiaohuangmen saw such a cruel scene, and heard the second prince's indifferent words.
Xiao Zhuo didn't hear the extraneous words of Xiaohuangmen, and waved his hand: "Don't you find it interesting to watch these ugly mud monkeys struggling?"
Little Huangmen followed the second prince’s sight and saw a thin young woman under her feet, crying and crying with her arms around an equally thin child. The child's body has become stiff.
The people around seemed to be used to such scenes, and they all sat on the ground indifferently.
Xiao Huangmen couldn't bear it when he saw it, and he hurriedly looked away.
The second prince looked at it for a while and felt bored, then shook his head and sighed: "I don't know if anyone will pick up the bones of these people. Don't defeat the big guy's interest."
The second prince stopped giving a look to the people, so he walked down the tower and took the sedan chair back to his mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, there was a sweet and greasy fragrance.
I saw a beautiful woman with a face like a peach blossom and a graceful posture coming up.
It is the second prince's favorite Rubei nowadays.
Ru Meiren Tingting came up curledly, her white and plump arms hooked the second prince's neck, and she said softly: "His Royal Highness has not come back so long after going out, so I have to wait for my concubine in the mansion in a hurry." The sound makes people feel so sad.
Rumei's life was beautiful and charming, and was tributed to him by the second prince's doorke. She was beautiful and tender, and gave birth to her tenderly, which was very popular with the second prince.
Everyone in the Second Prince’s Mansion knows that the mistress of the Second Prince’s Mansion, the granddaughter of the second prince’s servant, can hardly ask him
The child's like. I have been married for three or four months, and the number of times I have been with the second prince is only a handful. And Rubei, only half a month into the mansion, and the second prince have already entered and exited in pairs.
Wang Qinghan was in the room listening to the narrator's narrative. He heard that the second prince had returned, and when he came back, he would take the Rubei to listen to the drama, his expression was not moved.
The person in charge who is reporting is surnamed Li. When Wang Qinghan married into the Second Prince's Mansion, he married several houses and Zhuangzi, two of which were in Jiaodong County.
On the eve of the flooding outbreak in Jiaodong County, Guanshi Li happened to return to Beijing with his wife and children to live his old mother, so he escaped.
The fields in Jiaodong County were completely submerged by floods, and most of the food was damaged. Fortunately, since the house and Zhuangzi are newly built, the foundations are still stable, and only a few repairs are needed, and there is nothing to hinder them.
Wang Qinghan stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup. The bottom of the cup was empty. The maid quickly took the teacup from Wang Qinghan and poured hot tea for her.
However, when the hot tea was delivered, Wang Qinghan was reluctant to touch the cup.
Guan Shi looked at Wang Qinghan's face, and he had worked for the Wang family since he was young. Although she has rarely been in contact with this young lady, she has always heard of her brilliant and generous reputation. Guan Shi thought these were all exaggerations from the mansion. How much knowledge and cleverness can a young girl in her grade have? Seeing Wang Qinghan's calmness now, I believe those words a little bit.
It's a pity that such a lady with family demeanor was not liked by the second prince, and she was even provoked by the daughter of a small official's family.
I don't know what the young lady is talking about outside, it's probably not a good thing.
Guan Shi thought so, and retired respectfully.
He lived in the Second Prince's Mansion for the time being, and when he returned to his yard, he had to pass through the small garden of the Prince's Mansion.
Guanshi Li was walking along the gravel path when she heard the sweet voice of the woman, Guanshi Li couldn't help but stop.
Following the reputation, I saw a graceful beauty in a rouge dress walking among the flowers.
The brocade-like flowers bloom in clusters at the feet of the beauties, like the bright and colorful bright clouds on the horizon.
The beauty is as light as a butterfly, and the smile is so full that it makes people unbearable to look away.
Guan Shi thought of Wang Qinghan, his own lady is undoubtedly a rare beauty, but such a cold and elegant, will not attract the attention of men after all. A **** beauty like Rumei is the one that can most stir a man's heartstrings.
Even if Wang Qinghan was his master, Guan Li couldn't help but subconsciously determine that Rubei was better than the second prince's favor.
Rumei held the second prince's hand, and the two of them enjoyed the flowers with joy and laughter, and walked slowly to the backyard to listen to the play.
Guan Shi looked at that bright color disappeared, then dropped his head and turned back to his yard.
"That Rubei has been pestering His Royal Highness the second prince, and never came to you in the morning and twilight. It would be too inconvenient to put you in your eyes." The little maid said indignantly.
Wang Qinghan smiled calmly, "If there are no beautiful people, there will be other people. What use are you caring about?"
The little maid felt more and more sorry for Wang Qinghan. The girl was so beautiful and smart, she was so beautiful and her family could not make mistakes. Why did the second prince not want to step in
The girl's door stepped.
"Is it possible to let the Rubei step on your head? You should get rid of her when she has just entered the mansion and has not gained power. If you allow her to sit up, you will have no place in the hearts of the second prince. That's it. You don't know, the maids at the mansion are all trying to please the ru beauties, and don't look at who is the mistress of the prince's mansion." The little maid chuckled softly.
"What about the Rubei?" Wang Qinghan asked with a smile, "Without the Rubei, there will be other beauties with all kinds of charms. The second prince still has no shortage of beauties, but his prejudice against me will gradually deepen forever. It can't be bridged."
The little maid pursed her lips, and she didn't know what she wanted to say. After a while, she drooped and said, "Anyway, this beautiful woman is really arrogant and annoying."
Wang Qinghan smiled without saying a word, and looked down at the account book again.
At this time in the suburbs of Beijing, suddenly dozens of sturdy men wearing short hits came over in a carriage.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the man moved a box from the carriage.
The refugees from Jiaodong County, who were already too hungry for half of their energy, watched these people's movements, but sat limply on the ground, and didn't even bother to talk to them when they walked over.
But those men set up a stove in the open air and started a fire.
The refugees didn't know what these people were doing, they just watched with their eyes open.
I saw these people put up high flags, and a big ink-colored word on the bright red flag—
"Relief"!
Everyone's breath condensed, and then they got up with their hands and feet together, and the flow of people came up like a tide...
Xie Yong looked at the pavement built for disaster relief, as well as the people who were all dirty and unclothed. He only felt that the scene in front of him was shocking, and it made his heart feel as if he was severely tightened.
He once went to Jiaodong County, where the fields stretch for hundreds of miles and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is a good place for recuperation. It must have become a purgatory on earth now!
The emperor issued a ban, and no one can step out of the city gate.
Xie Yong couldn't leave the city, so he sent a letter to his servants in the village on the outskirts of the city, asking them to bring food and distribute food to the victims.
A young girl stood beside Xie Yong, and she was wearing a drapery hat. The breeze blows, and the tulle under the brim of the hat floats in the air against the wind, revealing a delicate chin. The girl is slender and long, standing on the tower quietly, who is it if it's not Xie Yunqing
Following Xie Yong, she watched the victims move closer to the shop. Everyone looked like a hungry tiger seeing the meat, their eyes glowing, and they stretched out and squeezed past.
Having prepared so much food, it is still far from enough.
For such a serious disaster, the emperor didn't care about it, and the courtiers even wanted to shrink themselves into the tortoise shell, relying only on their strength, it was just a drop in the bucket? How can we help so many refugees
Xie Yunqing thought about things, but didn't care about the surroundings.
She only heard footsteps approaching in her ears, turned her head to look, but saw Xiao Xuan, who hadn't seen them in a few days, walking towards them.
There was no smile on Xiao Xuan's face, and his gaze under the tower was serious and a little sullen.
Xie Yunqing knew why he was so angry.
"Is it ironic? That's how Da Zhou treated our fellow hand tribes." Xie Yunqing smiled, but Xiao Xuan's smile could be seen in Xiao Xuan's eyes, but he could detect a bit of shame.
