Feng Liao's sixth errand is to go to the five prefectures in southern Shandong to inspect the drought and disaster situation.
The five prefectures in southern Shandong haven't had much rain since last autumn. Up to now, it has become a situation where there is no harvest, and drinking water for humans and animals is difficult.
Emperor Chengtai hesitated for a long time before deciding to hand over this job to Feng Liao.
In fact, since Feng Liao "ate something unclean" last time, he didn't want Feng Liao to leave Beijing very much.
But the world is so big, all kinds of disasters will come and go.
As the king of a country, he must learn how to provide disaster relief, and must have a very intuitive and clear understanding of "what the disaster area looks like".
He wanted Feng Liao to be a qualified and capable emperor, so he couldn't let Feng Liao miss this lesson.
So in the end, after much deliberation, he handed over this job to Feng Liao with trepidation.
To be on the safe side, this time, he sent Imperial Physician Xu to accompany him, and asked Imperial Physician Xu to ensure Feng Liao's health.
In addition, he also increased Feng Liao's guarding force, and granted the Emperor Sword, Xu Feng Liao's right to cut first and then play.
When Feng Liao returned from receiving an errand from the palace, when she told Yong Ruo that she was about to go abroad again, she felt very reluctant.
"You stay at home and wait for me to come back..." Feng Liao let her sit on his lap, held her cheeks and said, "Wait until I come back to celebrate your birthday. Fifteenth birthday, it must be more grand."
The tenth day of August is Yong Ruo's birthday, and there is still more than a month left.
But Yong Ruo didn't seem to have heard his flag-like words, and just stared blankly at his face.
She suddenly felt: Compared with the day when Yuan Xiao first met, Feng Liao's temperament and appearance had changed significantly in this short half a year.
At that time, he was a pure, cute little boy.
But now, the lines of his face are a little more rigid, his expression is a little more resolute, and he already has the appearance of a man.
When did Feng Liao's appearance and temperament begin to change
She recalled it in her heart.
The change in appearance seems to have started when he went to Tongzhou to handle the case.
The change of temperament seems to have started from Tangquan Villa. There, Feng Liao really became a man and made up his mind to fight for the position of the emperor's heir.
She thought wistfully: people will always grow and change.
What made her feel extremely comforted was that the way he looked at her was still so sincere and pure, which moved her heart endlessly.
"Why don't you talk?" Feng Liao looked at Yong Ruo and smiled very gently, "Don't you want me?"
Yong Ruo nodded, but did not speak.
Not only was she reluctant, she was also worried.
She felt that even today, the emperor dared to send Feng Liao out of the capital because of his big heart.
Did the emperor think that those "unclean things" last time were really just "unclean"? Didn't Imperial Physician Xu tell him the truth
Or, the emperor felt... there was a reason why Feng Liao had to take risks
"I'm also very reluctant to part with you!" Feng Liao sighed softly, gently supporting her chin with one hand, and resting her neck firmly with the other hand.
His face approached her face little by little at an extremely slow speed. Then, their foreheads were against their foreheads, their noses were against their noses, and their breaths were deeply intertwined.
He closed his eyes, savoring the warmth and intimacy without distance.
"Ruoruo, I will miss you very much!" He murmured softly, "I want to be able to kiss you every day..."
His lips pressed against hers gently and with great nostalgia.
After sticking it for a while, he gently held her lips again, slowly rubbing and sucking...
The two kissed infinitely tenderly for a long time before stopping.
Feng Liao stabilized her breathing, and then hugged her deeply into her arms: "Ruo Ruo, I will miss you very much, I will miss you very much..."
"Rong Shen, I will miss you too!"
Yong Ruo blinked his sour eyes, made up his mind secretly, and whispered in Feng Liao's ear: "So, in order to prevent both of us from suffering from lovesickness, I decided to go with you!"
Feng Liao was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant by this.
He pushed her away from his arms at once, looked at her seriously and said, "What are you kidding?!"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious!"
Looking at him, Yong Ruo said calmly but firmly, "I don't want to wait for you at home! I want to go to Lunan with you."
"Don't be kidding me! I'm going to South Lunan to inspect the disaster situation, not to go sightseeing, so what's the point of taking you with me?" He felt that this matter was absurd.
Yong Ruo didn't allow him to refuse, and argued hard: "I'm not here to travel, but to take care of your daily life. A group of big men are not as careful as women after all; you have to think about important things outside, It is inevitable that there will be another time when a hundred secrets are neglected."
She sighed slightly, and said as sincerely as possible: "Rong Shen, I don't want to be stuck at home anymore, worrying about whether you will eat some 'unclean things' again every day, worrying about whether you will get sick again, and meet again. What danger... So, I'm going with you."
Feng Liao looked at her for a long time before she was finally sure: she was telling the truth, not joking!
"No!" He resolutely refused with a serious face, "Anything can happen in the disaster area, how can you, a weak woman, go there casually?"
"I am indeed a woman, but I am not weak. Although I am slightly younger than the prince, I have suffered more than the prince. I know how to survive in a harsh environment, and I can also bear the burden of running around Toil.
"Rong Shen, you trust me! Last time, I was able to travel more than a hundred miles in a day to take care of you in Jinfeng Town; this time, I can still follow you closely, not to fall behind, not to be burdened .”
Thinking of Yongruo's last feat of rescuing Jinfeng Town, Feng Liao couldn't say anything to refute.
Indeed, what she did was not something that ordinary weak women could do. And after she arrived in Jinfeng Town, she acted as if nothing had happened, which made him even more admired.
If it was something else, he might just agree.
But this time, he went to the disaster area to inspect the disaster situation.
It is said that some places in that area do not even have drinking water.
If he takes her with him, she will suffer a lot with him, and maybe even encounter great danger. As soon as he thought of this, he was reluctant to agree.
"It still doesn't work!" Feng Liao shook her head and found an excuse, "I'm going to inspect the disaster situation. If I take you along the way, I don't know how those guys at Yushitai will arrange me!"
"As long as the emperor and empress agree, the people at Yushitai will have nothing to arrange."
"How could the emperor and empress agree to this matter?" Feng Liao stared at her with wide eyes, with an incredulous expression on her face.
"If you don't try, how will you know if it's possible?" Yong Ruo looked at him very calmly. But I thought in my heart: After the emperor and empress know about it, it is very likely that they will agree.
"Are you determined to go?"
"That's right."
"But I am determined not to let you go!"
"Then I'll sneak behind you!" After traveling for so long, she hasn't tried the common routine of time-traveling women—running away from home!
"I will explain it to you: you are not allowed to go out after I leave."
Yong Ruo smiled sweetly: "My lord won't let me go out, can I still be prevented from getting sick? Can I not be allowed to go to Prince Ying's mansion to pay my respects to the concubine? In case I get sick, Princess Longqing will definitely come to visit me. When the time comes , I ask the princess to play the role of the emperor and empress, do you think they will agree with me?"
Feng Liao calmed down and thought about it, and felt that with Ruoruo's experience of saving Jinfeng Town last time and the theory of fate, the emperor and queen would probably agree, right
In their hearts, their nephew must be more important.
As for whether Ruo Ruo will be in danger in the disaster area, they don't care much. If Ruoruo himself said: Volunteer to take care of him in the disaster area, they should be very happy, right? Maybe instead you will feel that Ruoruo is sensible and general!
Seeing that Feng Liao's expression was a little loose, Yong Ruo decided to add anger: "Even if the emperor and empress do not agree, I should be able to go by myself? After all, I am not a royal family member or an official of the court, and I did not leave Gyeonggi without authorization." .
"I took the girl and the eunuch and quietly followed behind you, the censors probably won't be able to say anything gossip, right
"I just don't know, if there is no escort, will I encounter any danger in the disaster area? I heard that there are often refugees and bandits in the disaster area..."
Before she finished speaking, her lips were firmly sealed by Feng Liao's.
This time, Feng Liao's kiss was no longer lingering and delicate, no longer tender, and became domineering and fierce, with a complex taste of anger, anger, love and pity, as if she wanted to rub her away, Crushed, melted into his flesh and blood bit by bit, and then separated into a new her.
Yong Ruo kissed him without showing any weakness, with unprecedented enthusiasm. In the enthusiasm, there is a little hidden sadness and sadness.
This time, a kiss with complicated meanings quickly ignited a majestic passion like a prairie fire.
The two are evenly matched and do not give in to each other.
The fierce "battle" stretched from the chair to the bed...
By the time the "battle" was over, both sides felt a bit exhausted.
"Ruoruo, why are you so stubborn?" Feng Liao panted heavily, hugged her sweaty body, and couldn't help sighing.
"I'm rarely stubborn. Therefore, what I must insist on must be my unyielding bottom line. This is the case for learning to ride a horse, and it is the same for insisting on going to Jinfeng Town to take care of you. This time, it is also the same for wanting to walk with you."
She had a strong fear: if she didn't follow Feng Liao this time, would she never see him again
Who was the person who poisoned him last time, there is still no definite statement; no one knows who is behind the scenes.
She couldn't jump out and say to the emperor: Someone poisoned your nephew and wanted to murder him, so don't send him out of Beijing again!
She could only follow him out of the capital to block possible dangers for him, and hoped to use this to turn the guest into the master.
"Rong Shen, can you understand me? I really don't want to stay at home, worrying about you every day, but I can't do anything..."
Feng Liao sighed deeply: "Ruoruo, I have always wanted to give you the best life, so that you don't have to worry about everything, just enjoy watching the flowers and the moon, tasting wine and reading books every day. But now, I find myself Can't seem to do that..."
His expression was very sad: "This makes me feel very useless..."
Yong Ruo hugged him tightly: "You have given me the most sincere and purest feelings, allowing me to live a dignified life. I feel very happy now!
"Rong Shen, don't be too demanding of yourself! In life, how can you not worry about it? Even if you don't have serious things to worry about, you still have to worry about what dishes to eat tonight, what jewelry to wear tomorrow morning, what kind of jewelry is Zhang San's family?" Has the little daughter-in-law been born? It's time for the daughter of Li Si's family to get married..."
Feng Liao told her so much that she laughed, and finally felt a little more relaxed.
He was very helpless, very emotional, and very satisfied and said: "Okay! You won! I will tell Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang to let you go to Lunan with me."
The next day, Feng Liao went to the palace to report the matter, and the emperor really agreed.
Yong Ruo began to pack his bags.
Hua Rou knelt down and begged: "Let this servant go with Madam! This servant can ride a horse, so it won't be a drag on the schedule!"
Feng Liao was very happy, and Yong Ruo agreed. In addition to Hua Rou, Yong Ruo brought Jiao Zhu and other three eunuchs, if something happened, they would have more helpers.
