The princess of time travel is not stupid

Chapter 29

The officials who were discussing affairs in the court were rewarded with a meal by the emperor at noon, and they were all very grateful.In the Palace of Mental Cultivation, Prime Minister Liu Siyu, Song Guogong Song Manxiang, Tai Fu Wanmin, Minister of War Yang Yanyu, Minister of Officials Zhao Yuan, after a hasty meal, they were still worrying about this matter.

According to the practice of previous years, the floods are easy to treat, but the later plagues, pests and diseases, as well as the reconstruction of ordinary people's houses, and the taxation and people's livelihood issues involved in the harvest of crops and grains are difficult.The last flood was seven years ago, and it was finally eased, and here it is again.

Everyone is having a headache.

After being so busy at night, there was a specific plan, which made everyone disperse.

"Your Majesty, this banquet..." Li Hui came to ask.

The empress frowned when she heard the words, Qing Wu hurriedly said: "Leave them all, the emperor is tired."

"Decree to cancel all banquets this year, not to have fun in the capital, and pray for the people who have passed away." When the empress spoke, no one disagreed. She rested for a while in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and hurriedly passed the plan submitted by the ministers. Go over and over, circle the feasible ones, and finally ask the imperial pen officer to copy them into the memorial for tomorrow's use.

After finishing all the work, she pinched the bridge of her nose and glanced at the sky, "What did they say?"

Qing Wu said: "Song Guijun withdrew the banquet, said that the harem should also be an example when the people are in trouble, and spread the word that everyone should not be extravagant or brightly dressed, and he himself went to the small Buddhist hall."

The empress nodded, "Call the children to have a look."

In previous years, the Tianshou Festival's family banquets were held in the Changchun Palace, and the court hall was held in another Wuying Hall, which had nothing to do with the harem.This year is also the same. Those who can show their faces basically come to the Changchun Palace. It can't be said that they are dressed up, but it can be seen that they are all carefully selected clothes.

One by one gathered there to chat and laugh. Of course, Xia Mi's generation would not join in the fun unless they were summoned, so they all sat in the left side hall of the Changchun Palace, and there were teas before meals. Mainly, it's not Xia Mi's taste, so she didn't eat two.

Xia Mi, who had returned to Xige Hall, had just sat down and had a sip of tea, when Bai Ming told Mother Zhao that it was the Holy Majesty who canceled the family banquet, so that's why she came back early.

"But what's the matter?" Mother Zhao asked.

Both Xia Mi and Bai Ming shook their heads, without any clue.Zhao Momo didn't ask any more questions, and reached out to take the scroll in Bai Ming's hand, "Hey, didn't the master say to give you that silk-wrapped agate plate? What is it?"

"Oh, it's more thoughtful to write a picture." Xia Mi said casually.

Zhao Nanny nodded, "Yes, this is better than jewels. What is the master's writing?" She was about to open it to have a look, when a little maid rushed to tell the emperor's oral order before going to Changchun Palace.She glanced at Zhao Mama, who understood, stuffed the reward into the little maid's hand, and said, "I don't know why? The second princess just came back from there."

After receiving the money, she would naturally say a few pleasant words, the little maid smiled and stuffed the money into her cuffs, and said: "The emperor will go over, I guess I will also meet the masters."

Afterwards, Xia Mi had to go again, and Bai Ming took the scroll and left together.

The eldest princess Xia Mi was conferred the title of Prince Chun when she was an adult, and the clothes she wears are somewhat different from Xia Mi's white body.The light red dress seemed to support her rosy complexion.

However, Xia Mi's silent arrangement in her heart may also be due to the nourishment of love. She is the only one married here, so she didn't specially entertain her husband, Qi Yang, alone.

Xia Mi finds it very interesting. In modern times, they are all half-year-old students. At most, they have a puppy love in adolescence, and they have already married here.

"Sister looks at the princess and smiles, don't you also want to find a beauty?" Seeing Xia Mi's smile, Xia Qian followed her gaze and couldn't help making fun of her.

Xia Mi nodded, "I saw the ruddy complexion of the eldest sister, and I think that after marriage, it will be happy and happy. I am so lonely and we are naturally envious." After that, she turned her head to look at Xia Qian, "Speaking of which, I heard that my sister's house recently How do you feel when you enter the place?"

Speaking of the people in the third room, the Lord is really not in a hurry with her father. Dong Meiren sees that the eldest is married. Although there are still three years before Xia Qian becomes an adult, she can't wait. There is still a second child in front of her. The emperor has been married for many years and hasn't made any appearances, not only the Queen Feng, but also everyone in the harem.

Therefore, when Song Guijun gave birth to the eldest princess, he heard that the emperor was very happy.Needless to say, the rewards, even if Song Guijun, who is still a beauty, directly jumps two ranks, and is promoted to noble, what kind of honor is this?Later, when he gave birth to the first prince, the empress was not so happy, but she was also the first prince, so he was promoted from a nobleman to a beauty.

None of the later children could make the emperor so happy, even the first princess born of Queen Feng.

Dong Meiren was interested in this point, and selfishly felt that if the youngest got the emperor's eldest grandson first, then he would definitely win the emperor's favor.It was only then that three people were stuffed into the third child's room in one breath.

And there is only the princess in the eldest house, not even a servant.

Uh, there isn't a single one in Xia Mi's house.

After hearing this, Xia Qian didn't want to talk to her anymore, and turned her head to talk to someone else. The eldest princess looked over, and she always seemed to stay out of it during the years of getting along, "Second brother, you should find someone who knows how to be warm and cold. How about I talk to my father?"

"Eldest sister's kindness, I appreciate it," Xia Mi said unhurriedly, "It's just that I still feel that I am young, how can I take responsibility."

Xia Wu just shook her head slightly, why didn't she feel that she still had a lot of things to do, and she even felt that she was young, didn't she also get married by the emperor's favor?The sons and daughters of the royal family enjoy all the glory, but they can't afford it.

"It's so boring just sitting here and chatting, why don't we think of ways to have fun?" Zheng Ni suggested.

After hearing this, Xia Mi gave her a playful look, the two of them met their eyes, and the latter quickly avoided her.It is common for many people to find ways to make it lively, but it is a bit unexpected that Zheng Ni, who seems to be gentle and quiet on weekdays, is the one who proposes.

When the emperor passed away, he naturally couldn't forget these hostesses, and he had to show the mighty kindness of the emperor together with his own daughters.

After staying here for less than an hour, Xia Mi felt physically and mentally exhausted, so why not play games with them?Forget it, she still wants to live for two more years, not the kind where the brain cells are exhausted and die.

"What are you playing? Don't play wine orders, I can't tell some people." Xia Qian squinted at Xia Mi beside her. There is nothing under the cover of sleeves.Xia Qian jumped up and pointed at her, "What do you mean?"

Xia Mi who opened his mouth wide was stunned for a moment, then slowly closed his mouth, and asked her innocently, "What do you mean?"

"You yawn at me." Xia Qian pointed at her and then at herself.

Xia Mi was even more confused, and asked, "So?"

Xia Qian: "You...you...you don't respect me."

The tone of these words made Xia Mi yawn lazily again when he heard this, and plucked his ears indifferently, "Sorry, I didn't listen to you just now."

Xia Qian was so angry that she almost rolled up her sleeves and wanted to do something, but the instigator sat there calmly, looking at her with one hand on the back of the chair, and said earnestly, "Third brother, you have such an irritable temper, you have to go out You will suffer in the end. No matter how bad your temper is, you can’t stand a long knife. This world is so beautiful, how can you be so irritable? Isn’t that wasteful?”

Xia Wu burst out laughing, and then the others laughed too, even Qi Yan couldn't help it.After being stared at by Xia Qian, she stopped smiling.

"What are you talking about, it's so lively." The empress heard this while walking outside the house, following Xia Wu's laughter, she walked in slowly, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, very dazzling.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

The empress walked to the high seat and sat down while saying no courtesy, and asked with a smile: "I heard you laughing again before I came in, what are you talking about?"

Xia Qian squinted at Xia Mi, stepped forward to act coquettishly with the empress, and revised what happened just now to the empress, who gently stroked her back, "Well, what the second brother said makes sense, so irritable It's really wrong, I have a share." Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xia Mi, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xia Qian went all out to boast to the Empress about a treasure she had found and presented it to her as a congratulatory gift.

"I have a heart." The empress said lightly, and then let everyone present their gifts. "I have noticed everything that has been put into consideration, and everyone has a reward."

"Thank you mother~"

Xia Mi also followed the crowd and presented gifts, "I don't have much money, so I offer a pair of words to express my heart."

The Empress hummed, but felt that she knew how to think about it this year, instead of just picking something out of the library.Which of those things was not given to Queen Feng by her?

"The teacher in the study room praised you for your good handwriting, open it and have a look." The empress said.

The little maid next to her had already stepped forward, took the scroll in Xia Mi's hand and slowly opened it, and there was a big birthday written in countless birthday characters.However, when the Empress saw the initials, she frowned slightly.

Qing Wu noticed that the emperor's expression seemed displeased, and wanted to stop it, but the little palace lady let go of her hand, and the whole picture jumped in front of her eyes, she gasped, and couldn't help but look at the second princess.

Before Xia Mi could say anything nice, she heard the empress scolding: "Presumptuous!" He picked up the teacup by the table and threw it on the ground, causing everyone to kneel down in fright.

"The emperor calms down." Qing Wu hurriedly went to follow her back, and let the empress, who had accumulated anger in her chest and felt unwell, let go, "Go, go back to Xige Palace, don't take a step without my order!"

Xia Mi didn't even know what happened, so she was kicked out. Bai Ming, who was standing outside, saw that she came out early, made a noise just now, and there was a faint voice of anger, "Master?"

It was getting dusk, and two stars were faintly twinkling.

She raised her head slightly, but she didn't feel how hot the night was. Faced with the emperor's sudden rage, she just felt a cold sweat break out from behind her back, and she didn't know where she was wrong at all!

"Bai Ming," she called softly, "Maybe, she will just die of old age in the palace for the rest of her life."

Bai Ming slightly covered her mouth with his hand, and whispered in her ear, "Master, this is still in Changchun Palace."

Yeah, why did you forget all of a sudden?Xia Mi looked ahead, walked down the steps step by step, her back was straight, but she was a little staggering.Looking at Bai Ming, the corners of her eyes felt sour. She didn't know what happened inside, but she could guess that something must have happened to the master, so she came out first.

Walking all the way, Xia Mi was wondering what went wrong. The empress got angry when she saw the writing. Could it be the writing?There is definitely no problem with the birthday character, this is the most conservative birthday character, so you can’t choose paper, it is always in the palace, no problem!

Only... the composition of the word longevity!

Thinking of this, Xia Mi couldn't help speeding up her pace, walked back to Xige Hall in three steps at a time, and gathered all the people in the hall. She looked at everyone with a cold face and said: "Sige Hall Starting today, I will be grounded."

Everyone was in an uproar, even Bai Ming was shocked!

"Master, what's the reason?" Bai Ming asked.

Xia Mi looked at her amusedly, and asked each word with a pause: "Why? You don't know?"

Bai Ming knelt down on one knee, "I don't know."

"Then I'll tell you." Xia Mi looked at her, "After reading my words, the emperor became furious and grounded me. What do you think is the reason?"

Bai Ming raised her head suddenly, and bumped into Xia Mi's calm eyes.This was also the first time that everyone saw Xia Mi being indifferent to Bai Ming, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

"Master..." Bai Ming wanted to say, but Xia Mi raised her hand to stop her. She stopped looking at Bai Ming and asked Mother Zhao, "What taboos does the emperor have about calligraphy and painting?"

Zhao Mama thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but Shao Yao seemed hesitant to speak, Xia Mi half-closed her eyes, "Say!" Her voice was not loud, but she was not angry.

Shaoyao immediately knelt down, "Master, this matter... I have heard this matter from people when I was a rough envoy in the Changchun Palace. I don't know if it is true." She briefly explained the matter, and Zhao Madam Mammy just remembered, Xia Mi saw the expressions of everyone, "If there is any way, you can go out, Xige Palace is the second cold palace."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the house, and before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Mama, who followed in knowingly.

"How much do you know about this?"

Mother Zhao stood with her hands down, "It's true." Back then, Empress Feng was bestowed with poisoned wine on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. Ten days before that, it was Tianshou Festival. Big birthday, for the emperor.Zhao Momo was guarding the second princess in Xige Palace and did not follow. It is said that the emperor was very happy at that time, and he praised Queen Feng for her heart, and rewarded a lot of gold, silver and jewels.No one ever thought that favors come and go quickly.

What happened afterwards, Zhao Mama didn't know either.

"That word was written by the old slave who was serving Empress Feng," Zhao Momo said mockingly, "I'm too old to remember so many things. If Shaoyao hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it." After finishing speaking, she said Confused, "Master, why did you remember to write so many words? This is no small matter."

Especially when there is an emergency.

Xia Mi took off the hairpin from her hair, smiled slowly at herself in the mirror, "Yeah, why did you write this word? Oh, isn't it what others want?"

Zhao Momo's face was heavy after hearing this, "Master means..." She gradually connected a series of seemingly unrelated things together, and couldn't help shivering. "That's... who..." The one who encouraged the master to write birthday characters?Mother Zhao suddenly remembered that when the last few days of Tianshou Street were approaching, the master was in the study with Bai Ming.

white tea...

Bai Xin...

The three princesses...

"I'm tired." Xia Mi moved her neck, only to hear a rattling sound, she really felt tired.He lay down on the bed and fell asleep without taking a shower.After Zhao mama went out, Xia Mi turned over and lay down on her side, curling herself up into a ball, but she still felt a little cold. This summer... was colder than last year's winter.

It was as if a hole had been stabbed in my heart, and the wind was blowing, no matter how tightly I hugged the quilt, it was useless.
