Today, when the court went down late, when the ministers left the palace, whether they were on horseback or in soft sedan chairs, they found that there were very few refugees on the street.
While escorting the porridge and steamed buns for disaster relief out of the city, the Flying Tiger Army told the refugees that they would concentrate on distributing porridge outside the city in the future.
The Flying Tiger Army has great prestige among the people.
Dongxiang Hou kept his name incognito for fifteen years. He robbed the imperial court and occupied mountains as bandits to rebuild the Flying Tiger Army. Who mentioned that Dongxiang Hou didn't praise him as a hero?
When the Flying Tiger Army spoke, they trusted them from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if there is no porridge and steamed buns, just a word from Feihujun, more than half of the people will follow.
Without the cover of refugees, those villains with ulterior motives will naturally be at ease.
After returning to the mansion, Duke Chongguo was so angry that he couldn't stand still.
I thought that causing turmoil in Kyoto would teach the emperor and Dongxiang Hou a lesson.
? As a result, the emperor¡¯s edict of guilt caused the people to praise him for his literary talent, and the Flying Tiger Army lured those refugees out of the city, and donated 20,000 taels to win the hearts of the people.
On the contrary, it was him who took in 20,000 taels and still got nothing.
For the same donation of 20,000 taels, people will only remember Dongxiang Hou who was the first to donate, not Chong Guogong!
Changchun Palace.
Concubine Li Gui was leaning on the couch, listening to the report of the previous dynasty by the palace servants.
Hearing that Dongxiang Hou took the lead in donating, those ministers followed suit and donated a lot of money.
Concubine Li Gui is angry.
She just wanted to do this yesterday, and Dongxianghou had already done so.
Since all officials have donated, there is no reason for those wives of ministers to enter the palace to donate again.
No one is happy to scrape two layers of skin at a time.
A good chance to please the emperor just missed.
Concubine Li Gui was depressed.
But someone is more depressed than her.
The queen also wanted to take this opportunity to drive a wedge between Concubine Li Gui and those noble ladies, but Dongxiang Hou disrupted the whole situation.
Dongxiang Hou didn't have many friends in the court, he didn't care about offending others.
If he was afraid of offending others, he would not have been a bandit in Qingyun Mountain for fifteen years.
What's more, he is the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and he is the most trusted person of the emperor.
He pinched Chong Guogong and stepped on him, who would dare to fight against Dongxiang Hou?
The Marquis of Dongxiang doesn't need to curry favor with anyone.
However, Concubine Li Gui was different, she also pointed to win over all the officials to help the third prince win the position of heir.
But obviously, Concubine Li puts pleasing the emperor first.
Of course, this is also true.
Most officials act according to the emperor's preferences. If the emperor has the heart to support the third prince, even if Li Guifei offends half of the ministers in the court to death.
Those ministers had to find a way to please Concubine Li Gui and the third prince.
The queen was annoyed, "I think it will be very difficult for me to get things done with Dongxiang Hou's family here."
Nanny Zhou laughed and said, "Empress, why do you care what Dongxianghou does? Dongxianghou is hers, and it won't prevent Concubine Li Gui from offending those noble ladies."
The Queen gave Zhou Nanny a sideways look, "Is Concubine Li Gui so stupid?"
Mother Zhou chuckled, "Isn't it all up to the Queen?"
Concubine Li Gui has only been in charge of this harem for so long, it is wishful thinking for her to cover the sky with her hands.
Concubine Li Gui has the heart to hold a banquet to raise donations, so she will pass on the word.
When the time comes, Concubine Li Gui will have to recognize it, and she will have to recognize it if she doesn't.
The queen wanted to understand this, and said with a smile, "Let's do it this way."
Zhenbei Wangfu, side entrance.
Lu Qiao came in with her bag.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper woman checked the baggage, made sure there was nothing wrong with it, and let him go after a handful of sour plums.
Lu Qiao dared not speak out.
When walking away with the burden in his arms, he gave the doorkeeper a hard look.
She walked on the front foot, and a servant girl came in on the back foot, and went straight to the peony courtyard.
The master of Nanzhang County is looking at the account books.
The servant girl entered the room, but she didn't dare to disturb her, she stood far away.
Hongying found out, looked at Nanzhang Princess and said, "Princess, Cai'er is back."
Princess Nanzhang looked up, "Did you find anything?"
Cai'er hurriedly said, "This servant has been following Lu Qiao, she bought sour plums and pastries, and also bought a few embroidery samples, which seem to be made for children to wear."
"Afraid of being checked by the gatekeeper, she hid the embroidery pattern in her bosom."
Princess Nanzhang frowned tightly.
The last time it was Caiju who went out, this time it was Luqiao.
Different maids bought and watched the same things.
Last time I suspected that the sour plum was bought for the crown prince, this time when Luqiao returned home, she did not go to Chen Xiangxuan.
Could it be that Mrs. Chi is happy?
This is impossible.
These days, the prince has not been to Qingqiu Garden again.
The maid sent to watch Qingqiu Garden didn't find anything.
"Only watched things that children like?" Mother Zhao asked.
Cai'er shook her head, "That's not true, Luqiao also bought two hairpin flowers for herself, visited a lot of stalls, and drank a bowl of mung bean soup on the street."
Thinking of the maids in Qingqiu Garden who can go shopping.
She followed out, but could only stare at her, the servant girl couldn't help feeling jealous.
Mother Zhao waved her hand, and the maid stepped back.
"Let the servant girl keep an eye on me," Nanzhang princess said uneasy.
Qingqiu Garden.
Luqiao entered the house carrying a bundle, her body was cats, and her steps were very light.
It's very cool in the room, especially for Lu Qiao, who has been basking in the sun for half a day, it's so cool that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Magpie took the bundle from Luqiao, and Luqiao said, "Madam is still awake?"
"Not yet," Magpie said.
"It seems that I didn't sleep well."
Luqiao sighed.
It seems that after she had a private conversation with Mrs. Chi the day she beat the Crown Princess, Mrs. Chi never had a good night's sleep.
I don't know what went wrong.
Caiju asked, "Did the gatekeeper bully you?"
"I took a handful of sour plums," Luqiao said.
Luqiao took out the sample paper hidden in her bosom, but a cry of grief came from her, and her hands shook in fright, and two sample papers fell on the ground.
"No!" Madam Chi shouted.
The voice was a little hoarse, but it was hard to hide the grief.
Magpie hurried to the bed.
There were tears in the corners of Madam Chi's eyes, and the pillow was wet.
"Ma'am, are you having nightmares again?" Magpie said distressedly.
Madam Chi's body was cold.
She dreamed of the day when Donglin Palace was beheaded again.
It has been a long time since she had such a dream.
After talking to Shi Zifei that day, for several days in a row, as long as the corners of his eyes were closed, he would dream.
Young Master Zhao.
Will Zhao Xu, the son of Prime Minister Zhao in Nanliang, be his elder brother's orphan?
Back then, Zhao Xiang's younger sister and elder brother were engaged, and the marriage was imminent, but suddenly something happened in the Donglin Palace, and the marriage ended without a problem.
Zhao Xiang's younger sister, who was supposed to be her sister-in-law, married Ling Wang and gave birth to a son ten months later.
That child is the son of Prince Ling.
No matter what, it was not her eldest brother's child.
Madam Chi looked at the veil in a daze.
How much she wished that there was still a bloodline alive in the Donglin Palace.
Tears can't be wiped clean.
Magpie felt distressed when she saw it. No one knew what Mrs. Chi thought of, but it must be something that made her sad.
A few maids comforted Mrs. Chi with each other.
"Madam, if you have any revenge, you can tell the prince, and the prince will definitely avenge it for you," said Xi Que.
Madam Chi smiled wryly.
Even though Zhenbei Wangfu is powerful in Daqi, it can't control Nanliang's affairs.
Now she just wants to know how Zhao Xiang's family is doing.
Throughout the afternoon, Mrs. Chi was in a bad mood, fearing that she would get pregnant, so Magpie gave her an anti-fetal medicine.
In the evening, the weather was not so hot. Thinking that Mrs. Chi hadn't gone out for a long time, she proposed to go for a walk.
Looking at the colorful flowers in the garden, I feel a little better.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the fetus in your womb.
It was these words that moved Mrs. Chi, and she left Qingqiu Garden.
Walking around in the garden, I feel much better.
But no one could have expected that after Mrs. Chi became pregnant, her sense of smell would become more acute, and she would not be used to smelling the purple orchids in the garden.
The purple orchid is elegant and fragrant, refreshing.
The maid wanted to bring a pot back to Qingqiu Garden, but Madam Chi suddenly vomited after smelling it.
Mrs. Chi ran to the rockery and vomited.
The servant girl followed her closely, looking around outside, fearing that someone would look at her.
