Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

A quarter of an hour later, the convoy began to drive slowly towards the outside of the village.

People in the village saw the convoy heading out of the village and stepped forward to take a look.

Chu Haochen followed his grandfather's instructions and sent two bags of grain to the village chief as a thank you.

"this......"

"Take it, this is to thank you for lending our group a place to rest."

The people in this small village were very simple and very grateful to Chu Haochen and his party. The village chief promised to distribute the food to all the families in the village.

They watched the convoy go very far before turning back.

Lu Qingqing was leaning in the carriage at this time, closing her eyes and concentrating. The Biyun sisters on the side looked at the scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that they were finally returning to the capital. The thrilling journey along the way...

"Both of them must have been frightened."

Lu Qingqing asked with her eyes closed and her red lips slightly opened.

Biyun glanced at Ruiniang, then smiled slightly:

"Nothing can be hidden from the master. The slaves are really scared this time."

Biyun slowly recounted the situation at that time, and Ruiniang's hands still trembled unconsciously when she thought of that scene.

She, a little village girl, had never seen this scene before, but her sister also said that she wanted to stay with her master, so she had to learn to overcome these things.

"Master, don't worry, from now on, slave..."

Before Ruiniang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Qingqing. She said in a soft voice that there was no need to worry that she would blame them for this. This kind of thing did not happen every time.

From now on, Biyun and Ruiniang would stay in the palace in the capital if nothing happened.

"Master, I still want to follow my master, and I hope that my master will give me this opportunity. Although I am not as good at protecting my master as Sister Ziyue and others, I will definitely protect my master in my own way."

Lu Qingqing slowly opened her eyes at this time, shook her head with a smile on her lips, and said that if she must stay with her, then she will help her take care of her three little masters.

Seeing Biyun's nervous look, she smiled.

I don’t know what happened to these maids. They were kept wild by me. Each one of them said that being left in the house was like holding a knife to their necks.

At this time, in the palace of the Four Princes in the capital, after a night of madness, Xiao Zihongye finally woke up. Looking at the red-scarred woman lying next to him, his face turned cold.

"Put on your clothes and get out."

Shi Qi actually woke up right now, but she would rather pretend to be asleep and just want to be by his side for a while longer, imagining that the man really cares about her...

When she heard Xiao Zihong's cold voice, she knew that His Highness had known that she had woken up. Then she slowly sat up, got out of bed in front of Xiao Zihong without any scruples, picked up the robe on the ground and put it on.

Xiao Zihong didn't even look at her again.

When he heard the sound of the door, Xiao Zihong slowly got out of bed, and the little eunuch outside came in to help him bathe and change clothes.

"Prepare the car, I am leaving the city."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will give you the orders now."

As he spoke, the little eunuch helped take care of the last bit of the robe, then leaned over and exited the room.

Xiao Zihong strode out of the room. The servants in the courtyard leaned down to salute. Facing this uncertain master, the servants in the mansion were particularly cautious.

He was afraid that he would offend his master by doing something wrong and disappear from the house the next day.

Xiao Zihong got on the carriage after leaving the mansion. The driver drove the carriage slowly towards the outside of the capital.

The secret guards who were watching outside the Fourth Prince's Mansion were also wondering where the Fourth Prince was going when he left the city early in the morning. His master had previously ordered that his every move be closely monitored.

Although the Fourth Prince's Mansion is very tight and there is no way to start, as long as Xiao Zihong comes out, he must keep a watch on him.

Xiao Zihong in the carriage suddenly opened his eyes and shouted to the driver outside, "Turn around and go to the palace."

The secret guard hiding in the dark didn't understand what he was going to do? Has he been discovered?

Xiao Zihong in the carriage gently stroked the string of sapphire beads on his wrist, with a sneer on his lips.

The carriage quickly returned to the palace, and Xiao Zihong went straight into the palace and walked towards his father's bedroom.

The emperor who had just left the court came to the palace of Concubine Jade.

"The emperor's health has been better recently. In those days, he was worried about bad ministers and concubines. If it hadn't been for the queen, the ministers and concubines would have..."

The corners of the emperor's lips curled up slightly, his eyes flashed, and then he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.

"Okay, okay, I know your thoughts. Come and give Concubine Jade a pot of South Sea Pearls and a handle of Ruyi."

When Concubine Yu heard the emperor's words, her resentful expression immediately changed to a joyful smile. She came to the emperor's side and bowed. The emperor gently supported her and pulled her closer.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Yu's charming eyes glanced over, and her voice was deliberately lengthened by three minutes, but she did not see the Emperor's eyes flashing slightly.

"Okay, come and sit with me."

After saying that, Concubine Jade sat next to the emperor, stretched out her hand to gently squeeze the emperor's shoulders, and asked from time to time if the emperor was still comfortable.

The emperor just hummed softly. At this moment, Xiao Zihong came outside the palace of Concubine Jade. The little eunuch outside the palace came to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Concubine, the Fourth Prince is here."

The expression on the emperor's face disappeared fleetingly, the light in his eyes flashed, he raised the corners of his lips with a smile and took Concubine Yu's hand, asking why Hong'er was so anxious that he found her here.

"Your Majesty thinks that the Fourth Prince is really in trouble, why not..."

Concubine Jade, who was still smiling and talking to herself, suddenly saw the emperor's eyes turn cold and immediately closed her mouth.

"Xuan!"

The little eunuch leaned over and exited the hall.

Xiao Zihong, who was standing under the verandah outside the palace, looked coldly at the little eunuch who came out and leaned over to come to him.

"Fourth Prince, the Emperor invites you."

Xiao Zihong took a look inside the main hall, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the hall.

When he came to the inner hall, he saw the emperor leaning on the soft couch. Concubine Jade accompanied him with a charming look, peeling the grapes one by one and feeding them into the emperor's mouth.

"My son, I have met my father and the imperial concubine."

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zihong with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Are you so anxious to find the Jade Concubine?"

Xiao Zihong raised his eyes and carefully looked at the expression on the emperor's face, but could not see anything strange, but just now...

"There is nothing serious about my father and my son. I am just worried about my father's health..."

The emperor smiled and said nothing, as if he was enjoying the feeding from his concubine.

"Father..."

Before Xiao Zihong could say anything, he heard the anxious voice of the eunuch in charge outside.

"The Emperor has an urgent message!"

The emperor immediately sat upright, glanced at his son in front of him and said solemnly: "You should go back first, I have other things to deal with."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall. At this time, the chief eunuch waiting outside the hall quickly waved his hand to put down the sedan chair.

After a moment, Xiao Zihong, who was leaning down to see off the emperor outside the back hall, stood up, glanced at Concubine Jade coldly, turned around and left.
