my lord, please eat

When Mo Xingyun arrived at the palace, Gong Xiaoyong had already fallen asleep again.I drank a bowl of ginger porridge before going to bed, sweated, and the fever actually subsided a little.

After taking the pulse of the sleeping person, Mo Xingyun frowned slightly: "I didn't realize before that Xiaoyong's foundation is really weak. But considering his previous family, being so ingenious and kind is already extraordinary. I'll go back and prescribe some prescriptions to dispel cold and drive away evil spirits, and take the medicinal materials from the palace by the way. I think the fever will be gone by midnight. Don't eat greasy and spicy things these days, and if he's greedy, drink some clear chicken soup."

Xing Yihong nodded: "Wang Tianfu, follow Imperial Physician Mo to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine."

After seeing off Mo Xingyun, Xing Yihong wiped the sweat off Gong Xiaoyong's forehead again.With this movement, the sleeping person woke up.Gong Xiaoyong feels that the most painful thing for her now is not that her head is still a little dizzy, nor is she tired all over, but that her body is sticky with sweat.Unbearable pain! "Yihong, I want to take a bath."

Xing Yihong immediately frowned: "Nonsense! Why take a bath at this time. We'll talk about it when we're done."

"But it's so uncomfortable to be sticky. You can catch toads in the bed." Probably because he was still a little confused, and he didn't notice his tone and expression when he spoke.This slightly pursed mouth and soft tone are undoubtedly pure acting like a baby.

It's a pity that the prince is not in the good mood to appreciate it now. "It's over for a while. I'll just watch you here, and go to sleep."

Gong Xiaoyong pursed her mouth: "I guess the quilt will be rotten tomorrow morning."

Xing Yihong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I would like to smell even the smell of stinky tofu. Close your eyes obediently, do you want me to tell you a story?"

Gong Xiaoyong rolled his eyes at him: "Don't make fun of my smell of stinky tofu! Hey, it doesn't make any sense to you. I don't want to let you down, so I don't want to listen to your intrigue stories!"

Gong Xiaoyong's illness did not heal within two or three days as he had thought before.The fever subsided the next day, but it recurred twice. After six days, the fever was no longer repeated, but I was still weak and had to cough for a while before going to bed.

The cough medicine Mo Xingyun prescribed for him was very effective, but Gong Xiaoyong felt that he was a little refreshed after drinking it, and drinking it before going to bed really affected his sleep.I also didn't want to bother Mo Xingyun to run back and forth honestly.So he decided to boil a pot of autumn pear paste by himself.It is sweet and relieves cough and moistens lungs.

Hearing Gong Xiaoyong said that he was going into the kitchen to make medicinal soup, Xing Yihong's first reaction was to disagree.He is relatively free these days.Although there are still many things that have not been dealt with in the court, do they need to be done by themselves, not to mention that Xiaoyong is ill, the emperor also transfers the things that he does not have to do, but transfers them to someone else.It was hard for the two of them to be bored together all day, but this little guy actually said that it was too boring to be in the room every day, and he wanted to go to the kitchen to exercise his muscles.He still doesn't know that the kitchen is a place for exercise!

"Why are you so serious! Is this a metaphor? In short, I can't fall asleep after drinking the cough medicine prescribed by my second brother, and I don't want to trouble him to run back and forth all the time. It's like going to boil some cough ointment by myself. How about this, I'll write things down, you get someone to fetch them, and then we two go home and fix it?" It seems that it's really unreliable for the majestic prince to accompany me to smoke and smoke in the palace kitchen.And there are so many servants.It's better to go back to the space.The induction cooker is also better at controlling the temperature.

Xing Yihong was happy now: "That's about the same. You say I'll write, and then let them prepare lunch by the way, close the door and wait until evening to go out for dinner."

The best Sydney pears were just delivered to the capital yesterday, such as Ophiopogon japonicus, Mangosteen, Chuanbei, etc. Gong Xiaoyong and Mo Xingyun were also in stock when they were researching medicinal food, so it was very easy to find them.After a while the servant brought the things over.

When the visitor returned to the villa, the first thing Gong Xiaoyong did was to quickly change into her comfortable long-sleeved T-shirt. "Yihong, cut the pears for me."

The princess ordered, and the prince naturally obeyed. "I did hear that some places cook pears to cure coughs. Pears really have the effect of nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, but you have prepared these medicinal materials, are you cooking them together?"

Gong Xiaoyong laughed "hehe": "It is boiled with pear juice. You will know after a while."

The cut pear flesh and skin are squeezed for juice, and then boiled in a pot together with pitted red dates, shredded ginger, Radix Ophiopogon japonicus, Chuanbei and Luo Han Guo.After setting a time, Gong Xiaoyong moved the chair and sat by the window. "I used to like to sit here and look outside. Although my house is a villa area, there are not many people coming and going, but occasionally there are some nearby children running and playing outside the villa. There used to be an apricot tree in the yard next door. , those children will come to steal the fruit when it turns out. It’s a pity that there is a white mist outside now, and I can’t see anything.”

Coming to Gong Xiaoyong's side, Xing Yihong put his arms around Gong Xiaoyong's shoulder distressedly: "Do you miss home?"

Gong Xiaoyong smiled: "Aren't I just at home? There should not be many people like me who can live in another time and space and bring home with them."

Xing Yihong patted Xiaoyong on the shoulder.Although the little guy says his home is here, being homesick is not just a place to live.He knew that Xiaoyong's parents had died a long time ago, but it would indeed be a pity if he could not perform filial piety at the knees and pay homage to the grave. "So we have to cherish it even more. Otherwise, without waiting for Master, I will discuss the wedding date with Brother Huang and the Queen Mother tomorrow. I guess the date is right, and Master may come back soon."

Gong Xiaoyong was stunned for a moment, the two of them didn't discuss marriage for some days.He suddenly said it today, as if he was still in a hurry, and he was a little surprised: "Why are you in a hurry? Wouldn't it be good to wait for your master to come back? Didn't you say that he would not object?"

Xing Yihong smiled slightly: "But you also know that he must be unhappy about me marrying a man. If there is no date, he will feel that we are all waiting for him, and he will definitely come home late on purpose so that we can postpone the wedding. This kind of matter is decided by the queen mother and the emperor's brother, and has nothing to do with the master. Even if he is angry when he comes back, he has no reason to lose his temper with me. Moreover, he went to that place so remote that he might not be able to hear the news at all. It will take three or four years to come back, why don't we wait for him for so long?"

Gong Xiaoyong curled her lips: "Your master, what kind of apprentice are you!"

Xing Yihong laughed and said, "Of course, what kind of master there is, and what kind of apprentice there is!"

The pear juice and herbs that have been boiled for 10 minutes have thickened.Gong Xiaoyong hurriedly brought gauze and asked Xing Yihong to help, and the two cooperated to filter out the medicine residue.The pot that was originally full is now only two-thirds left. Gong Xiaoyong lowered the temperature a bit, and set the time for an hour. "Let's go back to the house and wait."

The two of them just returned to the bedroom to turn on the computer.There was a knock on the door.Immediately after, Wang Tianfu's voice came in. "My lord, there are people coming from the palace, the emperor invites you to come over."

Xing Yihong frowned, and Gong Xiaoyong was also a little depressed.However, the two of them hurried out of the space.Opening the door, Xing Yihong looked gloomy: "Did you say what's going on?"

Wang Tianfu also knew that the good thing (heavy fog) disturbed the prince and the future princess, but he dared not delay the emperor's order. "It seems to be about the flood relief in Longyu."

After hearing this, Xing Yihong immediately knew the outline of the matter.Then he turned around and said to Xiaoyong: "I'll go into the palace, if you're not feeling well, go back and lie down. Wang Tianfu, Xiaoyong, please don't knock on the door."

Wang Tianfu nodded quickly: "Yes. The servant knows."

Gong Xiaoyong was at a loss, but still knew that the emperor had serious business with Xing Yihong. "Hurry up, I'll have dinner when you come back."

It has been a month or so since the flood in Longyu. At this time, the rainy season has passed over there, and it is reported that the water level has dropped, so there should be no recurrence.The key is that the disaster relief funds have been sent to the imperial envoy, and the emperor asked the Ministry of Industry to send people to the field to investigate how to dredge the waterways or build dams.Logically speaking, if it was a matter of the disaster itself, brother Huang would not let someone call him into the palace right now.Then the only possibility is that something went wrong with the disaster relief fund.Because from the very beginning, he and the emperor wanted to test what the Qian family was thinking.Judging from this time... they seem to be disappointed.

Sure enough, when they got to the imperial study room, there were only two people left inside.The first one is Grand Master Jia Fengkun, who is also the queen's father, and the other is Jin Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.These two are the confidantes of the emperor's brother, plus himself, it seems that it is really as he expected.

After the etiquette was over, Xing Yice got straight to the point: "Fifth brother, you must have guessed what the purpose of asking you to come today is."

Xing Yihong said: "My brother guesses that there is something wrong with Qian Zhaozong's delivery of disaster relief funds."

Xing Yice nodded: "That's right. The person I secretly sent came back to report that the 10 taels of disaster relief money sent by Qian Zhaozong was exchanged for copper coins, and nearly [-] taels were deducted from it. It is estimated that it has not yet reached the hands of the people. Even the [-] tons of relief food has been swallowed up by half of the [-] tons of disaster relief food.

Xing Yihong frowned: "He is really courageous. To do such a big thing, it really costs money and life. How do you think the emperor should deal with them?"

Xing Yice said: "I have discussed with the two Qing families, and I feel that I should keep my face down so as not to startle the enemy. In addition, I will send a reliable person to escort the other disaster relief money prepared before, and distribute the relief food as needed. Then a group of officials and businessmen Arrest them all. After all, disasters for the people are the top priority, if we send people to investigate clearly now, I am afraid it will arouse public anger and make the situation worse."

Xing Yihong nodded: "What the emperor said is very true. If the younger brother guessed correctly, the emperor called the younger brother to come, because he wants to leave this matter to the younger brother, right?"

Xing Yice smiled and said, "This matter is none other than you, and I would never trust someone else [-]%."

Xing Yihong also smiled slightly: "For such a big event, my younger brother should take care of himself."

Back at the palace, Xing Yihong felt quite heavy.When he went outside to "travel" before, he really saw how miserable the people who were affected by the disaster were. He never thought that Qian Zhaozong would be so bold.Although in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor still favors Qian Meiren, but as a relative of the emperor and someone who has had contact with Xing Yichang, how could he be so stupid!But it's true, for a small servant of the household department, if his daughter can be favored by the emperor, he will naturally be overjoyed.Before, he could be more peaceful when he was not promoted. Now that he is suddenly promoted to two ranks and entrusted with the responsibility of imperial envoy, it is not too incomprehensible to want to make some money from it.This kind of corruption disaster, which dynasty and which generation can get less.It's just that you can't live by yourself.

Xing Yihong's trip this time was not too long. After all, when they decided to send Qian Zhaozong, they expected that this person might be corrupted, so another batch of food and grass had already been secretly escorted, and the relief funds There is also a preparation.Everyone hoped that these preparations would not be needed, but everyone was disappointed.

But this situation is not bad for Xing Yice.Firstly, it can get rid of the corrupt officials and profiteers on Longyu's side, and secondly, it can directly snub Beauty Qian without making fake plays.Recently, he has become more and more envious of the life of his fifth brother and third uncle, but he is the emperor without that blessing.In short, if there is one less woman, there will be one less.After taking the opportunity to rectify Chao Gang this time, it is estimated that no one would dare to put beauties in the harem for a few years.
