I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 27
Eunuch An trotted to Chongyi's side, and softly persuaded, "Your Highness is not in good spirits today, why don't you go pay your respects to the imperial concubine at another time, so as not to let the imperial concubine get angry with you."
"If Your Highness is struggling, you can just take a nap in Liangyi Palace. The imperial concubine would like your Highness to stay longer in Liangyi Palace." The eunuchs of Liangyi Palace squeezed in front of Eunuch An after hearing this, "Besides, the imperial concubine's heart and mind are all about His Highness. , Seeing His Highness, all illnesses will be cured."
Chong Yi agrees to see Concubine Mu Gui, even if the servants of the East Palace almost stare out their eyes, it is useless.
While waiting for Chong Yi to change, Song Peiyu who was ignored lazily yawned.
He thought about going out of the palace now, and there was still time to buy Ye Shi's favorite dim sum.Aunt Liu's newly made jewelry is too old-fashioned, so I stopped by to see if there are any new items in the shop that are elegant and chic.The mahjong I found in the carpenter's shop a few days ago is almost ready, and I just sent it to Mrs. Song, and I can still eat in Mrs. Song's yard at night.
Song Peiyu thought very well, but he really couldn't stand the entreaties of the servants of the Eastern Palace, and he was also very curious why the servants of the Eastern Palace avoided the noble concubines and concubines of the Liangyi Palace like snakes and scorpions.
Seeing that Chong Yi had no intention of objecting, he followed Chong Yi silently.
As for the eunuch of Liangyi Palace who was full of conflict and resistance.
His thoughts were not within Song Peiyu's consideration.
After leaving the East Palace, Song Peiyu followed the people in front of her and walked north. The scenery became more and more desolate, as if it was a building that had been abandoned for many years and was regarded as a haunted house.
If you grow some food and vegetables here, you won't have any sense of disobedience.
It wasn't until after passing through the large garden and crossing a hanging flower gate that the scenery gradually returned to normal.
Song Peiyu lightly hammered her stiff legs twice, she was quite sure that Emperor Yonghe didn't want to see this Concubine Mu.
Even the palaces where the three nobles live are next to Emperor Yonghe's Qinzheng Hall, but Concubine Mu Guifei's Liangyi Palace can't wait to be separated from Yonghe Emperor's Qinzheng Hall by the entire palace.
If Emperor Yonghe or Concubine Mu wanted to see each other, they had to pass through the haunted house first.
When Song Peiyu entered the door, the first thing she saw was the navy blue cushion on the floor, and she knelt down on it with kindness, "My humble servant pays my respects to the imperial concubine and empress, and my empress is blessed and safe."
Concubine Mu Gui and Chong Yi stared at the back of Song Peiyu's head at the same time, Chong Yi bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Concubine Mother."
Similar to Chongyi's voice, but much plainer and sharper, came from above Song Peiyu's head, "This is Zizhi Shaoyin, the concubine of the Song family, who was appointed by His Majesty personally? I don't know what's so good about you. I can be Suzaku's only companion."
Song Peiyu knelt on the spot politely, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps His Majesty has seen the same characteristics in Weichen as His Highness, and thinks that Weichen and His Highness can chat together."
The stagnant atmosphere froze in an instant, and after a while, Concubine Mu Gui gritted her teeth and said, "Then tell me, what about you deserves to be compared with my son?"
"Your Majesty?" A weak female voice sounded, but there was no follow-up.
Song Peiyu didn't look up, he didn't know what kind of eyebrow and eye lawsuit Mu Guifei and her court lady were doing, he was thinking about more serious issues.
Is Concubine Mu Gui not out of her mind?Will it be passed on to the third prince?
It's too embarrassing for the speech machine front to be slapped back by the junior.
Even if Concubine Mu Gui didn't know the special bond between him and his eldest brother, the relationship was far more than the usual eldest brother and younger brother.It should also be thought that if he could get the concubine son of a third-rank honorary officer from Emperor Yonghe at the age of 15, his status in the Song family would definitely not be a little transparent.
Contemplating to no avail, Song Peiyu chose to fulfill Concubine Mu.
Before leaving home, his brother went to Tianhuju on purpose to tell him away, "In the eyes of His Majesty, the entire Mu family, except for Mu Qing who was raised by him since childhood, is a thorn in the flesh. '
That being the case, the more he offended Concubine Mu Gui, the more Emperor Yonghe felt that there was nothing wrong with choosing him as the third prince's companion.
"Returning to the imperial concubine, I was always caught and humiliated by people when I was young. I have accumulated some experience of tolerance and peace of mind, and I can just share it with..."
"!"
Song Peiyu keenly caught the sound coming from the sky, and dodged to the side without hesitation.
It is tempting to be able to catch Concubine Mu Gui, but it is far inferior to his life.
"Your Highness!" The palace man let out a shrill cry.
Song Peiyu suddenly raised her head, just in time to see bright red traces falling along Chongyi's hand holding half a teacup.
Chong Yi let go of his hand and let the remaining half of the teacup fall to the ground. He casually took the handkerchief that Song Peiyu handed over and held it in his palm. He calmly looked at Concubine Mu Gui who was still in a rage, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Mu? Go back to the East Palace to treat the wound."
Concubine Mu Gui took a deep breath, "Okay! You are really my good son who was born in October!"
Song Peiyu clenched her fists and leaned tightly behind Chong Yi, ready to drag Chong Yi away at any time.The madness in Concubine Mu's eyes was too terrifying. He could play games with Mu's daughter, but he couldn't reason with a madman.
The most difficult thing is that he can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
Concubine Mu Gui took two steps in Chong Yi's direction, seeing that Chong Yi's posture had not changed at all, she calmed down, turned around calmly and walked to the other table, without warning, she reached out and overturned the entire table.
The palace people in the room rushed to see if Concubine Mu Gui was injured, and cried out, "Your Majesty! This is the meal you prepared for His Highness with your own hands, why did you throw it away?"
Song Peiyu's face turned green, and she stepped on Chongyi's shoulder to look over, fearing that Chongyi's injury would add to the injury. Seeing that there was no oil stain on Chongyi's lapel, she felt relieved, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, let's go first. Let the imperial concubine calm down?"
If he had known that Concubine Mu Gui was so crazy, he would never have provoked her.
There was a chuckle in his ear.
Song Peiyu looked up suspiciously.
Chong Yi still showed his usual expressionless appearance.
Song Peiyu was about to say something more when Concubine Mu Gui suddenly looked up, two lines of tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, "Are you born just to restrain me? Ever since you were born, His Majesty thought I was old and decrepit, so came to my room The days are getting fewer and fewer. Now because you are not capable of being a prince, and I, as His Majesty's wife, cannot be a queen."
"It is said that children are the sins of mothers, but you are not willing to give me half of the blessings. Even if you only let me go a little bit better, I can still see the hope of living. Otherwise, in such a dark day, I would be alive again." What's the point?" After speaking, Concubine Mu Gui took out a pair of scissors out of nowhere, and was about to poke her neck when she raised it, but was stopped by the palace servants around her desperately.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The grey-haired old mother knelt and crawled to Chong Yi's side, reaching out to grab Chong Yi's robe, "Your Highness, please take pity on your poor lady, she doesn't want to treat you like this, she just feels too bitter. Yes, if you raise your hand a little, the empress can have some hope, after all, the empress..."
Song Peiyu couldn't listen anymore, kicked the old nanny's shoulder, and blocked Chong Yi behind her.
Seeing here, what Song Peiyu still doesn't understand is that Concubine Mu Gui's life is not going well, relying on being Chong Yi's biological mother, she wants to force Chong Yi to agree to her unreasonable request by crying, making trouble and hanging herself.
Let this old nanny finish her sentence, and what is waiting for Chong Yi must be Concubine Mu Gui's "hope to live".
"The imperial concubine is suffering from hysteria, can you also suffer from hysteria? Not only did you not report it to His Majesty immediately, but you went to the imperial physician to see it, and you didn't reveal anything to Your Highness." Song Peiyu looked coldly at the servants who wanted to rush up, "If you are injured, Your Highness, the noble concubine has a noble status and is His Highness's biological mother, His Majesty will naturally punish you lightly, how many brains do you have!"
In the silence of the audience, the laughter behind Song Peiyu was particularly abrupt.
Chong Yi stretched out his hand to pull away Song Peiyu who was standing in front of him, walked slowly to Mu Guifei who was extremely embarrassed because he was too involved in the scene, and squatted down, his tone was calm, "I said a long time ago, you are my biological mother, you Just say what you want me to do, there is no need to make myself so embarrassed, I have been misunderstood and got hysteria."
Concubine Mu Gui's hand holding the scissors suddenly tensed, then relaxed again, looked deeply at Chong Yi, and said in a hoarse voice, "You will do whatever I say?"
Chong Yi still said, "You are my biological mother."
Concubine Mu Gui let go, and the scissors fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but she herself resumed her aloofness from the beginning, "Mu He is not suitable to be your companion, why don't you just enter the court directly."
Chong Yi remained silent, as if he was listening to Concubine Mu Gui seriously, but also seemed to be in a daze.
Concubine Mu Gui looked at Chong Yi silently for a moment, but after all, she didn't have Chong Yi's patience, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mu He is your cousin, and you must have an honorary officer above Zi Zhi Shao Yin to be worthy of him." Status. If your father is not willing, give Mu He the vacancy that you plan to give to Mu Qing after the next year, Mu Qing is the best at taking care of people, and can be your other companion."
"I'm just a prince, and I can't decide the affairs of the court." This time Chong Yi responded to Concubine Mu Gui, but it was not the answer that Concubine Mu Gui wanted.
'Snapped! '
After being slapped, Chong Yi remained motionless.
Concubine Mu Gui shook her hands and looked at Chong Yi arrogantly, "Trash!"
Song Peiyu opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.
He stared dumbly at Concubine Mu Gui lowering the conditions like a charity, demanding that Chong Yi must give Mu He an honorary officer to directly enter the court.
Then, because Chong Yi didn't meet her request this time, he punished Chong Yi to kneel in the yard until dark before leaving.
It was only then that Song Peiyu realized that the navy blue cushion was not prepared for him, but for Chong Yi. No wonder Concubine Mu Gui had such hostility towards him despite seeing him for the first time.
Song Peiyu had no doubt that if he hadn't come with Chong Yi, Concubine Mu Gui would not have allowed Chong Yi to stand up from the beginning to the end.
The proud imperial concubine left like a rooster fighting for victory, with her head held high and her chest held high.
The servants in her palace were not as courageous as hers, they huddled together like quails in a messy flower hall, not daring to look at Chong Yi who was kneeling in the yard.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the palace people specially took out a new cushion and put it behind Chongyi, without thinking about it, they knew it was a place for Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu endured the thought of kicking the cushion away, and sat aggressively on the cushion. For the first time, she did not hide any emotion from her true feelings to Zhongyi, "Are you stupid?"
Chong Yi blinked his eyelashes like butterfly wings, and his tone was no different from when he faced Concubine Mu Gui, "She is my biological mother."
Song Peiyu covered her beating heart, gritted her teeth and said, "She really let you die, so you will do the same?"
"No." Chong Yi was very calm, but unfortunately his words only made Song Peiyu even more mad, "My biological father wants me to live, I can't live half and die."
No help, bury it.
Zhao Guo has such a future monarch, and he can also be buried together.
Song Peiyu calmed down for a while, and decided to persuade Chongyi from a different angle, "Concubine Mu Gui only wants to use you. What she said was all lies. Her falling out of favor with His Majesty has nothing to do with you. Without you, she would not even be a noble concubine now."
Chong Yi remained silent. After a long while, unable to withstand Song Peiyu's urging eyes, he nodded reservedly, "I know."
"Then why are you still willing to be manipulated by her?" Song Peiyu clenched her fists inexplicably.
Chong Yi still said, "She is my biological mother."
Song Peiyu was able to stand up, kicked the cushion with one kick, turned around and left.
If he didn't leave, he would be charged with assassinating the prince.
After a while, Song Peiyu suddenly appeared from behind Chong Yi, silently pulled Chong Yi's injured hand, carefully cleaned the wound and applied medicine.
Chong Yi raised his eyelids to look at the shadow on the ground. He could recognize Song Peiyu's footsteps and knew that the other party had not left the yard from the beginning to the end.
In the back hall, Concubine Mu Gui drank the tranquilizing medicine while being served by the maid, and asked with cold eyes, "Is he still kneeling?"
The female officer almost bent her neck to her chest, fearing that Concubine Mu Gui would have a whim, and asked about Song Shaoyin again, but her voice was feigned cheerfulness, "Your Majesty personally gave the order, and when His Highness didn't obey it, she was kneeling upright in the yard."
Concubine Mu Gui snorted coldly, and said impatiently, "I'm going to sleep, and when that wicked barrier kneels down, I'll tell him to go, and don't come to greet me again. If he can't do anything well, why would he have the face to see me?" ?”
The female officer raised the corners of her mouth stiffly, following Concubine Mu Gui's flattery with a few good words, left and right are inseparable from Sheng En Zhiwei, the third prince is filial, and when Concubine Mu Gui's breathing became even, the female officer retreated silently.
After a long time, two lines of tears flashed across the corners of the eyes of Concubine Mu Gui, who was supposed to be asleep.
Everyone, including her father, thought that Chong Yi was the most filial, and she held Chong Yi firmly in her palm.I also want to persuade her not to be so harsh on Chong Yi, if she is willing to treat Chong Yi better, then the child will be more willing to go through fire and water for her.
Only she knows how guilty she is every time she faces Chong Yi.
She couldn't feel half of the admiration that other people swore in Chong Yi, but only felt the coldness and indifference that seemed to have no boundaries.
As a mother, Concubine Mu Gui can be sure that Chong Yi has no mother-child affection for her.His kindness to her is like a monster deliberately following the rules he laid down in order to achieve his goal.
Once the monster changed his mind, Concubine Mu Gui felt that Chong Yi could calmly face her humiliation and orders at any time, and calmly slit her neck with a dagger without even shaking his brows.
Every time she achieves her goals with Chong Yi, Concubine Mu Gui will fall into deep self-doubt and fear, lying on the bed and slowly recalling the details of getting along with Chong Yi.
He kept saying that no matter what, he would listen to his mother.
But once she wanted to attack the people around him, she would always encounter resistance.
But everyone felt that he was submissive to her.
……
The more she thought about it, the more intense Concubine Mu's fear became.
Today she really wanted to kill that monster, but she knew that she couldn't do it, otherwise neither her father nor her husband would let her go.
No matter how fearful she was in her heart, Concubine Mu Gui could not show the slightest bit, let alone take half a step back.
She has no way out, Chong Yi is the only bargaining chip she can hold, only seeing her 'influence' on Chong Yi, Emperor Yonghe and her good father will see her in their eyes.
Otherwise, all that awaits her is a silent death.
If everything could be done again... Concubine Mu Gui wiped away the tears from the side of her face, she really fell asleep this time.
In the dream, she saw the child who had just reached her knee height, staring at her with black and white eyes that seemed to be able to see through people, and called her 'mother'.
From that day on, Song Peiyu no longer deliberately wanted to have a good relationship with the third prince.
He goes to class on time every day and goes home at that time, completely ignoring the ups and downs of the classroom and the third prince sitting beside him.
Song Peiyu felt that she needed to calm down, at least to understand how bad he could accept the Third Prince.
If he feels disappointed with the third prince today, tomorrow he feels that the third prince can save him again.
Not only is he irresponsible to himself and the third prince, but also irresponsible to the Song family and the Zhao country.
During the time of trying to calm down, the matter of Mu He also settled down.
Mu He appointed Zanzhi Yin, the fourth-rank official, and made up the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites.
Song Peiyu couldn't figure out whether His Majesty had a deep meaning in making such a decision, so he let his temper go, and brought two altars of good wine brought from Lihua Village to Xianyang to find his second brother, asking him to take care of the new official Mu Langzhong.
The only good news during this period was that when the first heavy snow fell, the off-season vegetables in Song Peiyu's hot spring village had grown vigorously, and the output was more than enough to supply the Song family, and some could be given away as a favor.
Song Peiyu was overjoyed, and deliberately picked a day when everyone was not going to school or going to work, set up a pot in Tianhuju, and invited his brothers to come and have fun.
Song Jingming and Song Jingjue were just about to grow their hair free, so they came uninvited when it was still daylight, and touched Song Peiyu's bed directly. Song Peiyu, who was so angry that he had finally slept in, chased the two of them with disheveled hair. .
When he was about to run out of the house, the chattering and funny Song Jingjue looked at Song Jinyu outside the door without warning, and froze in place.Song Jingming and Song Peiyu behind him were not polite, they bumped into each other one after another, forcing Song Jingjue, who had already braked successfully, into Song Jinyu's arms.
So when other people came, what they saw was the picture of three people sitting together with sad faces being tested by Song Jinyu.
Song Wu laughed straight away, "Aren't you ashamed to be afraid of taking homework tests at such an age?"
Song Jingming cooperated to cover his face with his wide sleeves, and said with a wry smile, "Recently, I have spent so much time on the account books of the household department and the banquets of the Lu brothers, that I didn't realize that I haven't read books for many days."
Song Jingjue rubbed the back of his head and questioned from his soul, "I'm going to Jinwu Guard in the next year, and I'm already doing errands, why do I still need to study?"
After hearing the words, everyone turned their attention to Song Peiyu. Song Wu smiled and put Song Jingjue's shoulders, and looked at Song Peiyu with malicious intentions, "They all have excuses, so what can I say if the raccoon slaves study in the East Palace all day?"
Song Peiyu didn't panic at all, she opened her mouth and said, "Fifth brother always treats me as a fool, who goes to the East Palace to study?"
Everyone was stunned, and then roared with laughter, making fun of Song Peiyu.
Song Jinyu closed the book in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, "With what you said, the test in the book will be avoided in the future, and you still can't slack off in other aspects."
The three little ones didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Song Jinyu, and solemnly stated that they had been taught, but their faces were inevitably tinged with excitement because of Song Jinyu's praise.
On weekdays, brothers who are busy with their own affairs gather together, and what they talk about most is the affairs in the court.
Even if Song Peiyu didn't let everyone come to eat fresh pot, they would find other reasons to get together.
It's just that there were no three little ones to participate in the past.
Song Peiyu's green vegetables received unanimous praise, and bandits like Song Wu wanted to bring Song Peiyu's Zhuangzi along with him. Fortunately, Zhuangzi was all greedy, so Song Wuyi didn't succeed.
While talking, the topic turned to the Ministry of Rites. The newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Rites will set Chongyi's court dress as the standard of ordinary prince's dress.
On the day Chong Yi got the clothes, Song Peiyu was there, and she was also the first person to see Chong Yi wearing a court dress.
Chong Yi just thought it was an extra piece of new clothes, and didn't take it to heart at all.
Emperor Yonghe was not very satisfied. The evidence is that since then, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites has been repeatedly reprimanded by Emperor Yonghe.
The useless minister of the Ministry of Rites finally managed to figure out the emperor's will once by himself, and left all the business to Song Er, and he saw Tian'er's trouble with the servant of the right.
"Why does Xie Shilang have to go against His Majesty's wishes?" Song Peiyu was very puzzled.
From the point of view of Zhao Guo's stability, even if Emperor Yonghe didn't like Chong Yi, all the ministers should do their best to carry Chong Yi.
And through Song Peiyu's in-depth observation of the East Palace, at least so far, the relationship between Emperor Yonghe and Chongyi is very harmonious. As a representative of father's filial piety and kindness, there may not be as many good things in the Palace of Qinzheng of Emperor Yonghe as there are in the East Palace.
The general trend and the intention are so obvious, Xie Shilang is too stubborn.
"Recently, Your Majesty has received some particularly interesting memorials, and you can't help but share them with me." Song Jinyu smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeves slowly, "Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie will join hands, and please Your Majesty to enrich the harem. And Urge Your Majesty to marry His Highness a wife as soon as possible, and even list the candidates."
Song Er's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she began to think about the girls of Song's age.
It's a pity that his sister Fang is younger, so she is destined to have no chance with the princess.
Song Jinyu looked at the silent brothers and shook his head with a smile, "You don't have to think about it, Your Majesty will not choose a wife for His Highness in recent years. We want to be His Majesty's concubines, but we can't afford the dowry."
Everyone only thought that Song Jinyu was joking. Since ancient times, they had never heard of the reason that the emperor had to pay the dowry for the concubine's family. They were not convinced if they said that the Song family could not afford the dowry.
The smile on Song Jinyu's face faded, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty clearly marked the price, [-] shi for the fourth concubine, [-] shi for the concubine, [-] shi for the concubine, [-] shi for the noble, and [-] for the beauty. Stone grain."
Everyone was astonished, the Song family really couldn't afford this food.
Only aristocratic families that have taken root in Youzhou can afford it, but whether they are willing to do so is another question.
"Of course they are willing." Song Er sighed, and said to Song Peiyu, "Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Heyday is empty, and there is only one seedling of His Highness, who has a chance to give birth to a prince. What is a hundred thousand stones of grain? If you can get the Phoenix Seal , even if it is doubled ten times, they are still willing."
Only then did Song Peiyu realize that he unconsciously expressed the question in his heart.
After asking all the questions, Song Peiyu simply took advantage of his own family to ask clearly, "Then His Majesty is willing to... sell himself for these food?"
"What are you talking about?" Song Jinyu smacked Song Peiyu's forehead with a palm, but Song Peiyu exaggeratedly fell on Song Jingming on the other side of him.
Song Er, who was sitting across from Song Peiyu, also showed a look of disapproval, "The raccoon slave walks in the East Palace all day, don't be so outspoken."
Song Peiyu clasped his hands together and repeatedly begged for mercy, promising not to have any wrong thoughts, so he was let go.
"Your Majesty can't do anything about it. All the food that can be caught in your hands has been sent to the front line these years." Song Jinyu leaned on the chair, playing with the empty wine glass with one hand, looking at the void, and said after deliberation, "From your Majesty Since becoming emperor, the price of grain in the market has tripled. Now that spring plowing is imminent, His Majesty can’t even get out the seeds that are lent to the refugees so that they can settle down.”
The people at the table also fell silent, they were all officials in the court, and they all saw how difficult the previous court was.Song Jingming, in particular, will go to the household department to be a doctor after the next year. He has been looking through the account books of the household department recently. The figures on it make Song Jingming extremely anxious. The new habit of thinking recently is to take stock of private treasury.
To say that Emperor Yonghe had no money at all would not be a problem, after all he started his family as a martial artist, he smashed the barriers of Tuyuhun royal court in one fell swoop, most of the Tuguhun royal family's centuries-old collections fell into the hands of Emperor Yonghe.
In those years of confrontation with the Yan State, Zhao Jun also broke through the city in Yizhou. The Yonghe Emperor's military law strictly forbids soldiers to disturb the people, but the Yan State government is not within the scope of the people.
However, the gold and silver treasures and brocades and silks in the hands of Emperor Yonghe could not solve his urgent needs.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, how could the Emperor Yonghe, the majestic king of a country, put a price on the status of concubine and concubine?
"Can't you go to Weiguo or Liangguo to exchange some food?" Song Peiyu whispered.
Song Jinyu patted Song Jinyu's back and told him, "At least two years, Wei Guo and Liang Guo will never let a large amount of grain flow into Zhao Guo."
The matter of food made everyone at the table silent, and they didn't recover their initial enthusiasm until they left.
Song Peiyu went to the study and took out the small box he brought out from Lihua Village. Inside were rice papers that he had sorted out several times.
For three years, Song Peiyu planted all the seeds he could find in the five acres of land specially used for experiments, planted them in the simplest way of controlling variables and recorded the data.
Song Peiyu discovered an exceptionally high-yielding bean seed, which was bought by Yinbao in Yang County and bought at a large price from merchants in Yanzhou.
When buying the seeds, the businessman repeatedly assured that his bean seeds were smuggled out from King Chen's Zhuangzi, and that the fine seeds bred secretly in Yanzhou had at least two to three times the yield of common bean seeds.
Whether the businessman told the truth, Song Peiyu didn't know, but the seeds the businessman sold to Yin Bao were indeed unusual.
Using the scientific planting method deduced by Song Peiyu, the beans of Yanzhou bean are extremely plump, almost twice the size of the local bean in Lihua village, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing eight times.
You must know that Song Peiyu planted local bean in Lihua Village with scientific planting methods, and the highest yield was three times that of ordinary local bean planting.
Originally, Song Peiyu planned to teach the people in the Zhuangzi the various seeds brought from Lihua Village and the methods that had been summed up in the spring of next year, so as to see whether the varieties with amazing yields in Lihua Village would be uncomfortable in Xianyang.
Now Song Peiyu has changed his mind and asked Yinbao to bring the seeds brought back from Lihua Village to the hot spring village. He can't wait to know whether these seeds can still have the high yield in Lihua Village.
The next day it was time to go to school again, Song Peiyu didn't care what happened to the young master of the other family, and changed from riding a horse to a carriage as early as the first snowfall.
The old man who taught them has become more and more immortal in just a short time, and he doesn't take the worldly dust in his eyes.
Song Peiyu originally wanted to stick to it for the sake of the old man's dwindling beard.
However, as soon as Lu Jihe in front of him arrived at the school, he hugged the mink-haired gauntlet and lay down on the ground.
Originally, Lu Jihe was in the center of the second row, but after a few days of class, he switched places with Sheng Tairan who was sitting in front of Song Peiyu.
The reason has nothing to do with Song Peiyu, it's purely because he found that some teachers can't help getting wet when they are giving lectures.
Next to Chong Yi's seat, Song Peiyu's familiar servant, Lai Fu, slipped in swiftly, holding a lot of things that made him unable to see the way clearly.Before Chong Yi took his seat, the chairs and table were already covered with glossy black wolf fur. Lai Fu even had time to stuff Song Peiyu with a hand stove wrapped in white fox fur.
What's more, when Chong Yi sat down with a sleepy look, his hands were empty, he didn't even bring his pretend textbooks, and he immediately fell down on the wolf skin like Lu Jihe.
The atmosphere was too strong, and Song Peiyu couldn't help it.
And if he is the only one who is still working hard in this corner, wouldn't it be more obvious that Chong Yi and Lu Jihe don't respect their teachers?
As a good companion and classmate, Song Peiyu certainly wouldn't be so scheming.
When he woke up, the old man had disappeared, only Song Peiyu and Bo Yang were still in the school, and the others didn't know where to go to find out.
Song Peiyu stretched, and threw the cold hand stove back on Chongyi's table, the muffled sound attracted Bo Yang to look over.
Song Peiyu raised a smiling face and said, "I brought some delicious snacks, Brother Bai, come to try too?"
Unexpectedly, after Bo Yang thanked Song Peiyu, he chose to refuse.
Song Peiyu could understand Bo Yang's embarrassment in being like a white wolf in a pack of gray wolves, so he voluntarily quit the school after chatting about some interesting things that had nothing to do with the previous dynasty.
The next class is rhythm, so I can't continue to catch up on sleep, and Song Peiyu has a little talent for Guqin and is quite interested. Before class, I always have to change clothes and smell incense, and adjust my state first.
The incense is the bamboo incense that Song Peiyu concocted herself when she was free.
The smell is very faint, except for Song Peiyu herself, the only way to smell it is when she is next to him.
Until then, Song Peiyu felt that his day had officially begun.
It was just sleepwalking before.
Walking briskly towards the school, Song Peiyu suddenly saw that the plum tree in the yard was already covered with flower buds.It happened that some thin snow fell in the middle of the night last night, and when I saw it suddenly, it seemed to have already bloomed.
Such a perfect beauty really caught Song Peiyu's attention, and he couldn't help but go to the tree alone to take a closer look.
It's just that Song Peiyu didn't expect that there were other people behind the tree.
Looking back at the single footprints on the snow, Song Peiyu was neither advancing nor retreating.
On the other side of the tree, Luo Yong was in a worse mood than Song Peiyu.
The word "cousin" made Luo Yong stiff and his face darken.
However, he came today with the instructions of his grandma, and no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to finish his sentence, "It will be good for you if my cousin becomes a successor. Anyway, the relationship between the Luo family and His Majesty is there. It won't change if you don't succeed, it's better than having a new queen who is backed by a big family is less of a threat to your cousin."
Chong Yi stood opposite Luo Yong with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't tell what he thought of Luo Yong's long speech just by his expression.
Luo Yong mustered up his courage before he dared to look up at Chong Yi's expression, and then immediately looked away.
Since he was a child, he has been very afraid of this cheap cousin who acts like a good guy.
After waiting left and right for Chong Yi's response, Luo Yong couldn't help shouting, "Cousin!"
Chong Yi raised his eyelids, his black pupils were facing Luo Yong's eyes, "Huh?"
Luo Yong was cowardly for a second, but he was unwilling to show timidity in front of Chong Yi. He tried to act nonchalantly, trying to imitate Chong Yi's expressionless face, but ended up with a stiff face, "Did my cousin hear me?"
Chong Yi's eyes stayed on Luo Yong's face, "Mmm."
Luo Yong became even more nervous, and couldn't help blinking wildly, "What do you think, cousin?"
This time Chong Yi finally did not say another word, he said to Luo Yong, "This is not something I should consider."
After getting this answer, Luo Yong felt a little relieved.
But grandma's explanation had to be done, so Luo Yong lowered his eyes and stared at the vermilion bird pattern on Chongyi's boots, so that he could retell what his grandma told him imposingly, "Your Majesty, five years after my aunt's death, I just remarried, and I don’t want to confer on the imperial concubine after ascending the throne. It can be seen that I still miss my aunt in my heart. My cousin and my aunt are relatives, and they are [-]% similar in appearance and habits. When your majesty sees your cousin, you will be relieved to miss your aunt. .As a son of man, His Highness should not only think about himself, but also consider his father."
Song Peiyu, who was still wondering whether to advance or retreat, happened to hear Luo Yong's words.
"You are so loyal to think about His Majesty, why don't you go and say this to Your Majesty in person?" Song Peiyu came out from behind the tree, and looked at Luo Yong who still had a fierce face with a sneer in his eyes, "Are you afraid that you haven't spoken yet?" After finishing speaking, His Majesty proposed to play the board?"
Luo Yong never expected that he would bump into someone even though he purposely found a remote place to block Chongyi.
But quarreling, as long as he can quarrel, he has never lost the battle.
"Who did I think was eavesdropping? It turned out to be Song Qi. Did Shaoyin from the third grade let you taste the sweetness? You have been thinking about some shady things all day long." Luo Yong said, looking at it pointedly To the old plum tree behind Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu felt from the bottom of his heart that Luo Yong was reincarnated in the wrong place, and he was able to beat him up so confidently, his face looked like Concubine Mu Gui.
The anger that I had endured at Concubine Mu's place the day before yesterday was also drawn out. There was a bunch of slick civil servants in the family. Song Peiyu opened his mouth to retort, "I came to greet His Highness when I saw him from a distance. It is my duty to be a companion. I just don't understand It's because of breaking through some nasty deeds that it becomes shameful."
"Who are you calling dirty?" Luo Yong was furious.
Song Peiyu straightened the jade pendant on her waist slowly and smiled.
Luo Yong's brain is not very bright, but his intuition is very accurate. He immediately sensed Song Peiyu's silent contempt, and became even angrier, "Short Song, what do you mean! Do you want to be beaten?"
Song Peiyu froze with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Luo Yong expressionlessly.
Since going to school, height has become an unspeakable pain in Song Peiyu's heart.Not to mention the young men who are about the same age as him, even the eldest princess who is two years younger than him is taller than him, not to mention that their girls have various hairstyles.
In order to grow taller, Song Peiyu specially asked someone to go to Zhuangzi to catch a milk-producing ewe and raise it in Tianhuju. She had to drink goat milk every morning and evening, and secretly stretched her muscles and bones in the dead of night.
"Song Shaoyin, Mr. Luo." The little eunuch in a blue robe looked timidly at the two of them, and reminded, "The teacher who taught the class is already waiting outside the school, and you two are the only ones who haven't arrived yet."
The teachers boasted that they had nothing to do with these distinguished students, and they couldn't face this fact, so they set an invisible rule.After all the students are seated, the teachers will enter the school, otherwise they would rather stand outside the school than go in, in order to maintain the last dignity of the teachers.
Song Peiyu and Luo Yong fell into contemplation at the same time, suddenly looked up and looked around, and said in unison, "Where is Your Highness?"
The little eunuch in Tsing Yi took two steps back in fright, but dared not answer, and said in a crying voice, "Your Highness has already sat down in class, waiting for the teacher to come to class."
Luo Yong snorted coldly, and ran away suddenly. When he was about to run out of Song Peiyu's sight, he deliberately stopped and made a face at Song Peiyu, "I'm going back to class first, Shorty Song, hurry up and move your short legs!"
Just when a gust of cold wind blew, even flower buds and light snow rushed to Song Peiyu's face.
"Ahhh~"
Chong Yi slapped twice in a muffled voice
"If Your Highness is struggling, you can just take a nap in Liangyi Palace. The imperial concubine would like your Highness to stay longer in Liangyi Palace." The eunuchs of Liangyi Palace squeezed in front of Eunuch An after hearing this, "Besides, the imperial concubine's heart and mind are all about His Highness. , Seeing His Highness, all illnesses will be cured."
Chong Yi agrees to see Concubine Mu Gui, even if the servants of the East Palace almost stare out their eyes, it is useless.
While waiting for Chong Yi to change, Song Peiyu who was ignored lazily yawned.
He thought about going out of the palace now, and there was still time to buy Ye Shi's favorite dim sum.Aunt Liu's newly made jewelry is too old-fashioned, so I stopped by to see if there are any new items in the shop that are elegant and chic.The mahjong I found in the carpenter's shop a few days ago is almost ready, and I just sent it to Mrs. Song, and I can still eat in Mrs. Song's yard at night.
Song Peiyu thought very well, but he really couldn't stand the entreaties of the servants of the Eastern Palace, and he was also very curious why the servants of the Eastern Palace avoided the noble concubines and concubines of the Liangyi Palace like snakes and scorpions.
Seeing that Chong Yi had no intention of objecting, he followed Chong Yi silently.
As for the eunuch of Liangyi Palace who was full of conflict and resistance.
His thoughts were not within Song Peiyu's consideration.
After leaving the East Palace, Song Peiyu followed the people in front of her and walked north. The scenery became more and more desolate, as if it was a building that had been abandoned for many years and was regarded as a haunted house.
If you grow some food and vegetables here, you won't have any sense of disobedience.
It wasn't until after passing through the large garden and crossing a hanging flower gate that the scenery gradually returned to normal.
Song Peiyu lightly hammered her stiff legs twice, she was quite sure that Emperor Yonghe didn't want to see this Concubine Mu.
Even the palaces where the three nobles live are next to Emperor Yonghe's Qinzheng Hall, but Concubine Mu Guifei's Liangyi Palace can't wait to be separated from Yonghe Emperor's Qinzheng Hall by the entire palace.
If Emperor Yonghe or Concubine Mu wanted to see each other, they had to pass through the haunted house first.
When Song Peiyu entered the door, the first thing she saw was the navy blue cushion on the floor, and she knelt down on it with kindness, "My humble servant pays my respects to the imperial concubine and empress, and my empress is blessed and safe."
Concubine Mu Gui and Chong Yi stared at the back of Song Peiyu's head at the same time, Chong Yi bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Concubine Mother."
Similar to Chongyi's voice, but much plainer and sharper, came from above Song Peiyu's head, "This is Zizhi Shaoyin, the concubine of the Song family, who was appointed by His Majesty personally? I don't know what's so good about you. I can be Suzaku's only companion."
Song Peiyu knelt on the spot politely, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps His Majesty has seen the same characteristics in Weichen as His Highness, and thinks that Weichen and His Highness can chat together."
The stagnant atmosphere froze in an instant, and after a while, Concubine Mu Gui gritted her teeth and said, "Then tell me, what about you deserves to be compared with my son?"
"Your Majesty?" A weak female voice sounded, but there was no follow-up.
Song Peiyu didn't look up, he didn't know what kind of eyebrow and eye lawsuit Mu Guifei and her court lady were doing, he was thinking about more serious issues.
Is Concubine Mu Gui not out of her mind?Will it be passed on to the third prince?
It's too embarrassing for the speech machine front to be slapped back by the junior.
Even if Concubine Mu Gui didn't know the special bond between him and his eldest brother, the relationship was far more than the usual eldest brother and younger brother.It should also be thought that if he could get the concubine son of a third-rank honorary officer from Emperor Yonghe at the age of 15, his status in the Song family would definitely not be a little transparent.
Contemplating to no avail, Song Peiyu chose to fulfill Concubine Mu.
Before leaving home, his brother went to Tianhuju on purpose to tell him away, "In the eyes of His Majesty, the entire Mu family, except for Mu Qing who was raised by him since childhood, is a thorn in the flesh. '
That being the case, the more he offended Concubine Mu Gui, the more Emperor Yonghe felt that there was nothing wrong with choosing him as the third prince's companion.
"Returning to the imperial concubine, I was always caught and humiliated by people when I was young. I have accumulated some experience of tolerance and peace of mind, and I can just share it with..."
"!"
Song Peiyu keenly caught the sound coming from the sky, and dodged to the side without hesitation.
It is tempting to be able to catch Concubine Mu Gui, but it is far inferior to his life.
"Your Highness!" The palace man let out a shrill cry.
Song Peiyu suddenly raised her head, just in time to see bright red traces falling along Chongyi's hand holding half a teacup.
Chong Yi let go of his hand and let the remaining half of the teacup fall to the ground. He casually took the handkerchief that Song Peiyu handed over and held it in his palm. He calmly looked at Concubine Mu Gui who was still in a rage, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Mu? Go back to the East Palace to treat the wound."
Concubine Mu Gui took a deep breath, "Okay! You are really my good son who was born in October!"
Song Peiyu clenched her fists and leaned tightly behind Chong Yi, ready to drag Chong Yi away at any time.The madness in Concubine Mu's eyes was too terrifying. He could play games with Mu's daughter, but he couldn't reason with a madman.
The most difficult thing is that he can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
Concubine Mu Gui took two steps in Chong Yi's direction, seeing that Chong Yi's posture had not changed at all, she calmed down, turned around calmly and walked to the other table, without warning, she reached out and overturned the entire table.
The palace people in the room rushed to see if Concubine Mu Gui was injured, and cried out, "Your Majesty! This is the meal you prepared for His Highness with your own hands, why did you throw it away?"
Song Peiyu's face turned green, and she stepped on Chongyi's shoulder to look over, fearing that Chongyi's injury would add to the injury. Seeing that there was no oil stain on Chongyi's lapel, she felt relieved, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, let's go first. Let the imperial concubine calm down?"
If he had known that Concubine Mu Gui was so crazy, he would never have provoked her.
There was a chuckle in his ear.
Song Peiyu looked up suspiciously.
Chong Yi still showed his usual expressionless appearance.
Song Peiyu was about to say something more when Concubine Mu Gui suddenly looked up, two lines of tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, "Are you born just to restrain me? Ever since you were born, His Majesty thought I was old and decrepit, so came to my room The days are getting fewer and fewer. Now because you are not capable of being a prince, and I, as His Majesty's wife, cannot be a queen."
"It is said that children are the sins of mothers, but you are not willing to give me half of the blessings. Even if you only let me go a little bit better, I can still see the hope of living. Otherwise, in such a dark day, I would be alive again." What's the point?" After speaking, Concubine Mu Gui took out a pair of scissors out of nowhere, and was about to poke her neck when she raised it, but was stopped by the palace servants around her desperately.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The grey-haired old mother knelt and crawled to Chong Yi's side, reaching out to grab Chong Yi's robe, "Your Highness, please take pity on your poor lady, she doesn't want to treat you like this, she just feels too bitter. Yes, if you raise your hand a little, the empress can have some hope, after all, the empress..."
Song Peiyu couldn't listen anymore, kicked the old nanny's shoulder, and blocked Chong Yi behind her.
Seeing here, what Song Peiyu still doesn't understand is that Concubine Mu Gui's life is not going well, relying on being Chong Yi's biological mother, she wants to force Chong Yi to agree to her unreasonable request by crying, making trouble and hanging herself.
Let this old nanny finish her sentence, and what is waiting for Chong Yi must be Concubine Mu Gui's "hope to live".
"The imperial concubine is suffering from hysteria, can you also suffer from hysteria? Not only did you not report it to His Majesty immediately, but you went to the imperial physician to see it, and you didn't reveal anything to Your Highness." Song Peiyu looked coldly at the servants who wanted to rush up, "If you are injured, Your Highness, the noble concubine has a noble status and is His Highness's biological mother, His Majesty will naturally punish you lightly, how many brains do you have!"
In the silence of the audience, the laughter behind Song Peiyu was particularly abrupt.
Chong Yi stretched out his hand to pull away Song Peiyu who was standing in front of him, walked slowly to Mu Guifei who was extremely embarrassed because he was too involved in the scene, and squatted down, his tone was calm, "I said a long time ago, you are my biological mother, you Just say what you want me to do, there is no need to make myself so embarrassed, I have been misunderstood and got hysteria."
Concubine Mu Gui's hand holding the scissors suddenly tensed, then relaxed again, looked deeply at Chong Yi, and said in a hoarse voice, "You will do whatever I say?"
Chong Yi still said, "You are my biological mother."
Concubine Mu Gui let go, and the scissors fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but she herself resumed her aloofness from the beginning, "Mu He is not suitable to be your companion, why don't you just enter the court directly."
Chong Yi remained silent, as if he was listening to Concubine Mu Gui seriously, but also seemed to be in a daze.
Concubine Mu Gui looked at Chong Yi silently for a moment, but after all, she didn't have Chong Yi's patience, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mu He is your cousin, and you must have an honorary officer above Zi Zhi Shao Yin to be worthy of him." Status. If your father is not willing, give Mu He the vacancy that you plan to give to Mu Qing after the next year, Mu Qing is the best at taking care of people, and can be your other companion."
"I'm just a prince, and I can't decide the affairs of the court." This time Chong Yi responded to Concubine Mu Gui, but it was not the answer that Concubine Mu Gui wanted.
'Snapped! '
After being slapped, Chong Yi remained motionless.
Concubine Mu Gui shook her hands and looked at Chong Yi arrogantly, "Trash!"
Song Peiyu opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.
He stared dumbly at Concubine Mu Gui lowering the conditions like a charity, demanding that Chong Yi must give Mu He an honorary officer to directly enter the court.
Then, because Chong Yi didn't meet her request this time, he punished Chong Yi to kneel in the yard until dark before leaving.
It was only then that Song Peiyu realized that the navy blue cushion was not prepared for him, but for Chong Yi. No wonder Concubine Mu Gui had such hostility towards him despite seeing him for the first time.
Song Peiyu had no doubt that if he hadn't come with Chong Yi, Concubine Mu Gui would not have allowed Chong Yi to stand up from the beginning to the end.
The proud imperial concubine left like a rooster fighting for victory, with her head held high and her chest held high.
The servants in her palace were not as courageous as hers, they huddled together like quails in a messy flower hall, not daring to look at Chong Yi who was kneeling in the yard.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the palace people specially took out a new cushion and put it behind Chongyi, without thinking about it, they knew it was a place for Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu endured the thought of kicking the cushion away, and sat aggressively on the cushion. For the first time, she did not hide any emotion from her true feelings to Zhongyi, "Are you stupid?"
Chong Yi blinked his eyelashes like butterfly wings, and his tone was no different from when he faced Concubine Mu Gui, "She is my biological mother."
Song Peiyu covered her beating heart, gritted her teeth and said, "She really let you die, so you will do the same?"
"No." Chong Yi was very calm, but unfortunately his words only made Song Peiyu even more mad, "My biological father wants me to live, I can't live half and die."
No help, bury it.
Zhao Guo has such a future monarch, and he can also be buried together.
Song Peiyu calmed down for a while, and decided to persuade Chongyi from a different angle, "Concubine Mu Gui only wants to use you. What she said was all lies. Her falling out of favor with His Majesty has nothing to do with you. Without you, she would not even be a noble concubine now."
Chong Yi remained silent. After a long while, unable to withstand Song Peiyu's urging eyes, he nodded reservedly, "I know."
"Then why are you still willing to be manipulated by her?" Song Peiyu clenched her fists inexplicably.
Chong Yi still said, "She is my biological mother."
Song Peiyu was able to stand up, kicked the cushion with one kick, turned around and left.
If he didn't leave, he would be charged with assassinating the prince.
After a while, Song Peiyu suddenly appeared from behind Chong Yi, silently pulled Chong Yi's injured hand, carefully cleaned the wound and applied medicine.
Chong Yi raised his eyelids to look at the shadow on the ground. He could recognize Song Peiyu's footsteps and knew that the other party had not left the yard from the beginning to the end.
In the back hall, Concubine Mu Gui drank the tranquilizing medicine while being served by the maid, and asked with cold eyes, "Is he still kneeling?"
The female officer almost bent her neck to her chest, fearing that Concubine Mu Gui would have a whim, and asked about Song Shaoyin again, but her voice was feigned cheerfulness, "Your Majesty personally gave the order, and when His Highness didn't obey it, she was kneeling upright in the yard."
Concubine Mu Gui snorted coldly, and said impatiently, "I'm going to sleep, and when that wicked barrier kneels down, I'll tell him to go, and don't come to greet me again. If he can't do anything well, why would he have the face to see me?" ?”
The female officer raised the corners of her mouth stiffly, following Concubine Mu Gui's flattery with a few good words, left and right are inseparable from Sheng En Zhiwei, the third prince is filial, and when Concubine Mu Gui's breathing became even, the female officer retreated silently.
After a long time, two lines of tears flashed across the corners of the eyes of Concubine Mu Gui, who was supposed to be asleep.
Everyone, including her father, thought that Chong Yi was the most filial, and she held Chong Yi firmly in her palm.I also want to persuade her not to be so harsh on Chong Yi, if she is willing to treat Chong Yi better, then the child will be more willing to go through fire and water for her.
Only she knows how guilty she is every time she faces Chong Yi.
She couldn't feel half of the admiration that other people swore in Chong Yi, but only felt the coldness and indifference that seemed to have no boundaries.
As a mother, Concubine Mu Gui can be sure that Chong Yi has no mother-child affection for her.His kindness to her is like a monster deliberately following the rules he laid down in order to achieve his goal.
Once the monster changed his mind, Concubine Mu Gui felt that Chong Yi could calmly face her humiliation and orders at any time, and calmly slit her neck with a dagger without even shaking his brows.
Every time she achieves her goals with Chong Yi, Concubine Mu Gui will fall into deep self-doubt and fear, lying on the bed and slowly recalling the details of getting along with Chong Yi.
He kept saying that no matter what, he would listen to his mother.
But once she wanted to attack the people around him, she would always encounter resistance.
But everyone felt that he was submissive to her.
……
The more she thought about it, the more intense Concubine Mu's fear became.
Today she really wanted to kill that monster, but she knew that she couldn't do it, otherwise neither her father nor her husband would let her go.
No matter how fearful she was in her heart, Concubine Mu Gui could not show the slightest bit, let alone take half a step back.
She has no way out, Chong Yi is the only bargaining chip she can hold, only seeing her 'influence' on Chong Yi, Emperor Yonghe and her good father will see her in their eyes.
Otherwise, all that awaits her is a silent death.
If everything could be done again... Concubine Mu Gui wiped away the tears from the side of her face, she really fell asleep this time.
In the dream, she saw the child who had just reached her knee height, staring at her with black and white eyes that seemed to be able to see through people, and called her 'mother'.
From that day on, Song Peiyu no longer deliberately wanted to have a good relationship with the third prince.
He goes to class on time every day and goes home at that time, completely ignoring the ups and downs of the classroom and the third prince sitting beside him.
Song Peiyu felt that she needed to calm down, at least to understand how bad he could accept the Third Prince.
If he feels disappointed with the third prince today, tomorrow he feels that the third prince can save him again.
Not only is he irresponsible to himself and the third prince, but also irresponsible to the Song family and the Zhao country.
During the time of trying to calm down, the matter of Mu He also settled down.
Mu He appointed Zanzhi Yin, the fourth-rank official, and made up the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites.
Song Peiyu couldn't figure out whether His Majesty had a deep meaning in making such a decision, so he let his temper go, and brought two altars of good wine brought from Lihua Village to Xianyang to find his second brother, asking him to take care of the new official Mu Langzhong.
The only good news during this period was that when the first heavy snow fell, the off-season vegetables in Song Peiyu's hot spring village had grown vigorously, and the output was more than enough to supply the Song family, and some could be given away as a favor.
Song Peiyu was overjoyed, and deliberately picked a day when everyone was not going to school or going to work, set up a pot in Tianhuju, and invited his brothers to come and have fun.
Song Jingming and Song Jingjue were just about to grow their hair free, so they came uninvited when it was still daylight, and touched Song Peiyu's bed directly. Song Peiyu, who was so angry that he had finally slept in, chased the two of them with disheveled hair. .
When he was about to run out of the house, the chattering and funny Song Jingjue looked at Song Jinyu outside the door without warning, and froze in place.Song Jingming and Song Peiyu behind him were not polite, they bumped into each other one after another, forcing Song Jingjue, who had already braked successfully, into Song Jinyu's arms.
So when other people came, what they saw was the picture of three people sitting together with sad faces being tested by Song Jinyu.
Song Wu laughed straight away, "Aren't you ashamed to be afraid of taking homework tests at such an age?"
Song Jingming cooperated to cover his face with his wide sleeves, and said with a wry smile, "Recently, I have spent so much time on the account books of the household department and the banquets of the Lu brothers, that I didn't realize that I haven't read books for many days."
Song Jingjue rubbed the back of his head and questioned from his soul, "I'm going to Jinwu Guard in the next year, and I'm already doing errands, why do I still need to study?"
After hearing the words, everyone turned their attention to Song Peiyu. Song Wu smiled and put Song Jingjue's shoulders, and looked at Song Peiyu with malicious intentions, "They all have excuses, so what can I say if the raccoon slaves study in the East Palace all day?"
Song Peiyu didn't panic at all, she opened her mouth and said, "Fifth brother always treats me as a fool, who goes to the East Palace to study?"
Everyone was stunned, and then roared with laughter, making fun of Song Peiyu.
Song Jinyu closed the book in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, "With what you said, the test in the book will be avoided in the future, and you still can't slack off in other aspects."
The three little ones didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Song Jinyu, and solemnly stated that they had been taught, but their faces were inevitably tinged with excitement because of Song Jinyu's praise.
On weekdays, brothers who are busy with their own affairs gather together, and what they talk about most is the affairs in the court.
Even if Song Peiyu didn't let everyone come to eat fresh pot, they would find other reasons to get together.
It's just that there were no three little ones to participate in the past.
Song Peiyu's green vegetables received unanimous praise, and bandits like Song Wu wanted to bring Song Peiyu's Zhuangzi along with him. Fortunately, Zhuangzi was all greedy, so Song Wuyi didn't succeed.
While talking, the topic turned to the Ministry of Rites. The newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Rites will set Chongyi's court dress as the standard of ordinary prince's dress.
On the day Chong Yi got the clothes, Song Peiyu was there, and she was also the first person to see Chong Yi wearing a court dress.
Chong Yi just thought it was an extra piece of new clothes, and didn't take it to heart at all.
Emperor Yonghe was not very satisfied. The evidence is that since then, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites has been repeatedly reprimanded by Emperor Yonghe.
The useless minister of the Ministry of Rites finally managed to figure out the emperor's will once by himself, and left all the business to Song Er, and he saw Tian'er's trouble with the servant of the right.
"Why does Xie Shilang have to go against His Majesty's wishes?" Song Peiyu was very puzzled.
From the point of view of Zhao Guo's stability, even if Emperor Yonghe didn't like Chong Yi, all the ministers should do their best to carry Chong Yi.
And through Song Peiyu's in-depth observation of the East Palace, at least so far, the relationship between Emperor Yonghe and Chongyi is very harmonious. As a representative of father's filial piety and kindness, there may not be as many good things in the Palace of Qinzheng of Emperor Yonghe as there are in the East Palace.
The general trend and the intention are so obvious, Xie Shilang is too stubborn.
"Recently, Your Majesty has received some particularly interesting memorials, and you can't help but share them with me." Song Jinyu smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeves slowly, "Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie will join hands, and please Your Majesty to enrich the harem. And Urge Your Majesty to marry His Highness a wife as soon as possible, and even list the candidates."
Song Er's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she began to think about the girls of Song's age.
It's a pity that his sister Fang is younger, so she is destined to have no chance with the princess.
Song Jinyu looked at the silent brothers and shook his head with a smile, "You don't have to think about it, Your Majesty will not choose a wife for His Highness in recent years. We want to be His Majesty's concubines, but we can't afford the dowry."
Everyone only thought that Song Jinyu was joking. Since ancient times, they had never heard of the reason that the emperor had to pay the dowry for the concubine's family. They were not convinced if they said that the Song family could not afford the dowry.
The smile on Song Jinyu's face faded, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty clearly marked the price, [-] shi for the fourth concubine, [-] shi for the concubine, [-] shi for the concubine, [-] shi for the noble, and [-] for the beauty. Stone grain."
Everyone was astonished, the Song family really couldn't afford this food.
Only aristocratic families that have taken root in Youzhou can afford it, but whether they are willing to do so is another question.
"Of course they are willing." Song Er sighed, and said to Song Peiyu, "Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Heyday is empty, and there is only one seedling of His Highness, who has a chance to give birth to a prince. What is a hundred thousand stones of grain? If you can get the Phoenix Seal , even if it is doubled ten times, they are still willing."
Only then did Song Peiyu realize that he unconsciously expressed the question in his heart.
After asking all the questions, Song Peiyu simply took advantage of his own family to ask clearly, "Then His Majesty is willing to... sell himself for these food?"
"What are you talking about?" Song Jinyu smacked Song Peiyu's forehead with a palm, but Song Peiyu exaggeratedly fell on Song Jingming on the other side of him.
Song Er, who was sitting across from Song Peiyu, also showed a look of disapproval, "The raccoon slave walks in the East Palace all day, don't be so outspoken."
Song Peiyu clasped his hands together and repeatedly begged for mercy, promising not to have any wrong thoughts, so he was let go.
"Your Majesty can't do anything about it. All the food that can be caught in your hands has been sent to the front line these years." Song Jinyu leaned on the chair, playing with the empty wine glass with one hand, looking at the void, and said after deliberation, "From your Majesty Since becoming emperor, the price of grain in the market has tripled. Now that spring plowing is imminent, His Majesty can’t even get out the seeds that are lent to the refugees so that they can settle down.”
The people at the table also fell silent, they were all officials in the court, and they all saw how difficult the previous court was.Song Jingming, in particular, will go to the household department to be a doctor after the next year. He has been looking through the account books of the household department recently. The figures on it make Song Jingming extremely anxious. The new habit of thinking recently is to take stock of private treasury.
To say that Emperor Yonghe had no money at all would not be a problem, after all he started his family as a martial artist, he smashed the barriers of Tuyuhun royal court in one fell swoop, most of the Tuguhun royal family's centuries-old collections fell into the hands of Emperor Yonghe.
In those years of confrontation with the Yan State, Zhao Jun also broke through the city in Yizhou. The Yonghe Emperor's military law strictly forbids soldiers to disturb the people, but the Yan State government is not within the scope of the people.
However, the gold and silver treasures and brocades and silks in the hands of Emperor Yonghe could not solve his urgent needs.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, how could the Emperor Yonghe, the majestic king of a country, put a price on the status of concubine and concubine?
"Can't you go to Weiguo or Liangguo to exchange some food?" Song Peiyu whispered.
Song Jinyu patted Song Jinyu's back and told him, "At least two years, Wei Guo and Liang Guo will never let a large amount of grain flow into Zhao Guo."
The matter of food made everyone at the table silent, and they didn't recover their initial enthusiasm until they left.
Song Peiyu went to the study and took out the small box he brought out from Lihua Village. Inside were rice papers that he had sorted out several times.
For three years, Song Peiyu planted all the seeds he could find in the five acres of land specially used for experiments, planted them in the simplest way of controlling variables and recorded the data.
Song Peiyu discovered an exceptionally high-yielding bean seed, which was bought by Yinbao in Yang County and bought at a large price from merchants in Yanzhou.
When buying the seeds, the businessman repeatedly assured that his bean seeds were smuggled out from King Chen's Zhuangzi, and that the fine seeds bred secretly in Yanzhou had at least two to three times the yield of common bean seeds.
Whether the businessman told the truth, Song Peiyu didn't know, but the seeds the businessman sold to Yin Bao were indeed unusual.
Using the scientific planting method deduced by Song Peiyu, the beans of Yanzhou bean are extremely plump, almost twice the size of the local bean in Lihua village, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing eight times.
You must know that Song Peiyu planted local bean in Lihua Village with scientific planting methods, and the highest yield was three times that of ordinary local bean planting.
Originally, Song Peiyu planned to teach the people in the Zhuangzi the various seeds brought from Lihua Village and the methods that had been summed up in the spring of next year, so as to see whether the varieties with amazing yields in Lihua Village would be uncomfortable in Xianyang.
Now Song Peiyu has changed his mind and asked Yinbao to bring the seeds brought back from Lihua Village to the hot spring village. He can't wait to know whether these seeds can still have the high yield in Lihua Village.
The next day it was time to go to school again, Song Peiyu didn't care what happened to the young master of the other family, and changed from riding a horse to a carriage as early as the first snowfall.
The old man who taught them has become more and more immortal in just a short time, and he doesn't take the worldly dust in his eyes.
Song Peiyu originally wanted to stick to it for the sake of the old man's dwindling beard.
However, as soon as Lu Jihe in front of him arrived at the school, he hugged the mink-haired gauntlet and lay down on the ground.
Originally, Lu Jihe was in the center of the second row, but after a few days of class, he switched places with Sheng Tairan who was sitting in front of Song Peiyu.
The reason has nothing to do with Song Peiyu, it's purely because he found that some teachers can't help getting wet when they are giving lectures.
Next to Chong Yi's seat, Song Peiyu's familiar servant, Lai Fu, slipped in swiftly, holding a lot of things that made him unable to see the way clearly.Before Chong Yi took his seat, the chairs and table were already covered with glossy black wolf fur. Lai Fu even had time to stuff Song Peiyu with a hand stove wrapped in white fox fur.
What's more, when Chong Yi sat down with a sleepy look, his hands were empty, he didn't even bring his pretend textbooks, and he immediately fell down on the wolf skin like Lu Jihe.
The atmosphere was too strong, and Song Peiyu couldn't help it.
And if he is the only one who is still working hard in this corner, wouldn't it be more obvious that Chong Yi and Lu Jihe don't respect their teachers?
As a good companion and classmate, Song Peiyu certainly wouldn't be so scheming.
When he woke up, the old man had disappeared, only Song Peiyu and Bo Yang were still in the school, and the others didn't know where to go to find out.
Song Peiyu stretched, and threw the cold hand stove back on Chongyi's table, the muffled sound attracted Bo Yang to look over.
Song Peiyu raised a smiling face and said, "I brought some delicious snacks, Brother Bai, come to try too?"
Unexpectedly, after Bo Yang thanked Song Peiyu, he chose to refuse.
Song Peiyu could understand Bo Yang's embarrassment in being like a white wolf in a pack of gray wolves, so he voluntarily quit the school after chatting about some interesting things that had nothing to do with the previous dynasty.
The next class is rhythm, so I can't continue to catch up on sleep, and Song Peiyu has a little talent for Guqin and is quite interested. Before class, I always have to change clothes and smell incense, and adjust my state first.
The incense is the bamboo incense that Song Peiyu concocted herself when she was free.
The smell is very faint, except for Song Peiyu herself, the only way to smell it is when she is next to him.
Until then, Song Peiyu felt that his day had officially begun.
It was just sleepwalking before.
Walking briskly towards the school, Song Peiyu suddenly saw that the plum tree in the yard was already covered with flower buds.It happened that some thin snow fell in the middle of the night last night, and when I saw it suddenly, it seemed to have already bloomed.
Such a perfect beauty really caught Song Peiyu's attention, and he couldn't help but go to the tree alone to take a closer look.
It's just that Song Peiyu didn't expect that there were other people behind the tree.
Looking back at the single footprints on the snow, Song Peiyu was neither advancing nor retreating.
On the other side of the tree, Luo Yong was in a worse mood than Song Peiyu.
The word "cousin" made Luo Yong stiff and his face darken.
However, he came today with the instructions of his grandma, and no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to finish his sentence, "It will be good for you if my cousin becomes a successor. Anyway, the relationship between the Luo family and His Majesty is there. It won't change if you don't succeed, it's better than having a new queen who is backed by a big family is less of a threat to your cousin."
Chong Yi stood opposite Luo Yong with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't tell what he thought of Luo Yong's long speech just by his expression.
Luo Yong mustered up his courage before he dared to look up at Chong Yi's expression, and then immediately looked away.
Since he was a child, he has been very afraid of this cheap cousin who acts like a good guy.
After waiting left and right for Chong Yi's response, Luo Yong couldn't help shouting, "Cousin!"
Chong Yi raised his eyelids, his black pupils were facing Luo Yong's eyes, "Huh?"
Luo Yong was cowardly for a second, but he was unwilling to show timidity in front of Chong Yi. He tried to act nonchalantly, trying to imitate Chong Yi's expressionless face, but ended up with a stiff face, "Did my cousin hear me?"
Chong Yi's eyes stayed on Luo Yong's face, "Mmm."
Luo Yong became even more nervous, and couldn't help blinking wildly, "What do you think, cousin?"
This time Chong Yi finally did not say another word, he said to Luo Yong, "This is not something I should consider."
After getting this answer, Luo Yong felt a little relieved.
But grandma's explanation had to be done, so Luo Yong lowered his eyes and stared at the vermilion bird pattern on Chongyi's boots, so that he could retell what his grandma told him imposingly, "Your Majesty, five years after my aunt's death, I just remarried, and I don’t want to confer on the imperial concubine after ascending the throne. It can be seen that I still miss my aunt in my heart. My cousin and my aunt are relatives, and they are [-]% similar in appearance and habits. When your majesty sees your cousin, you will be relieved to miss your aunt. .As a son of man, His Highness should not only think about himself, but also consider his father."
Song Peiyu, who was still wondering whether to advance or retreat, happened to hear Luo Yong's words.
"You are so loyal to think about His Majesty, why don't you go and say this to Your Majesty in person?" Song Peiyu came out from behind the tree, and looked at Luo Yong who still had a fierce face with a sneer in his eyes, "Are you afraid that you haven't spoken yet?" After finishing speaking, His Majesty proposed to play the board?"
Luo Yong never expected that he would bump into someone even though he purposely found a remote place to block Chongyi.
But quarreling, as long as he can quarrel, he has never lost the battle.
"Who did I think was eavesdropping? It turned out to be Song Qi. Did Shaoyin from the third grade let you taste the sweetness? You have been thinking about some shady things all day long." Luo Yong said, looking at it pointedly To the old plum tree behind Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu felt from the bottom of his heart that Luo Yong was reincarnated in the wrong place, and he was able to beat him up so confidently, his face looked like Concubine Mu Gui.
The anger that I had endured at Concubine Mu's place the day before yesterday was also drawn out. There was a bunch of slick civil servants in the family. Song Peiyu opened his mouth to retort, "I came to greet His Highness when I saw him from a distance. It is my duty to be a companion. I just don't understand It's because of breaking through some nasty deeds that it becomes shameful."
"Who are you calling dirty?" Luo Yong was furious.
Song Peiyu straightened the jade pendant on her waist slowly and smiled.
Luo Yong's brain is not very bright, but his intuition is very accurate. He immediately sensed Song Peiyu's silent contempt, and became even angrier, "Short Song, what do you mean! Do you want to be beaten?"
Song Peiyu froze with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Luo Yong expressionlessly.
Since going to school, height has become an unspeakable pain in Song Peiyu's heart.Not to mention the young men who are about the same age as him, even the eldest princess who is two years younger than him is taller than him, not to mention that their girls have various hairstyles.
In order to grow taller, Song Peiyu specially asked someone to go to Zhuangzi to catch a milk-producing ewe and raise it in Tianhuju. She had to drink goat milk every morning and evening, and secretly stretched her muscles and bones in the dead of night.
"Song Shaoyin, Mr. Luo." The little eunuch in a blue robe looked timidly at the two of them, and reminded, "The teacher who taught the class is already waiting outside the school, and you two are the only ones who haven't arrived yet."
The teachers boasted that they had nothing to do with these distinguished students, and they couldn't face this fact, so they set an invisible rule.After all the students are seated, the teachers will enter the school, otherwise they would rather stand outside the school than go in, in order to maintain the last dignity of the teachers.
Song Peiyu and Luo Yong fell into contemplation at the same time, suddenly looked up and looked around, and said in unison, "Where is Your Highness?"
The little eunuch in Tsing Yi took two steps back in fright, but dared not answer, and said in a crying voice, "Your Highness has already sat down in class, waiting for the teacher to come to class."
Luo Yong snorted coldly, and ran away suddenly. When he was about to run out of Song Peiyu's sight, he deliberately stopped and made a face at Song Peiyu, "I'm going back to class first, Shorty Song, hurry up and move your short legs!"
Just when a gust of cold wind blew, even flower buds and light snow rushed to Song Peiyu's face.
"Ahhh~"
Chong Yi slapped twice in a muffled voice
