After the divorce, the prince suddenly plotted against me

Chapter 337 Like, Song Yao

Three days later, in the early court, civil and military officials were still discussing the drought in Yongzhou.

This time, no matter what was said, the Ministry of Households had to subsidize it with money.

Huidi has one head and two big ones, and they use the money from the treasury to subsidize them!How do the troops on the front line fight?

At this time, Jun Yan stood up and proposed:
"My son thought that if we could excavate and drain the lower reaches of the Xunjiang River, and let the tributaries flow into the heart of Qi County, the people of Qi County would be spared the suffering of drought."

As soon as this remark came out, Jun Wuxian immediately raised an argument:
"The prince said it lightly. Do you think that digging and drainage is a small project? Do you know how much money and time it will cost? When your drainage is over, the local people will almost die!"

Jun Yan said slowly, "Brother Huang, you might as well study the map if you have time. The Xunjiang River is not far from Qi County, and it is dug in the lower stream. As long as it is done properly, it only takes half a month to guide the river water into the abdomen."

Jun Wuxian didn't expect that the prince, a scheming bitch, would have such a plan, so he felt a slap in the face, stomped his feet angrily, snorted at a volume that everyone could hear, and turned his head away.

Jun Shengze took a step forward at this time, and said in a personable manner, "Seventh brother's idea is good, but Yongzhou has a huge terrain, and relying on the lake in the belly of Qi County alone, I am afraid that there is no way to solve the drought in Yongzhou."

Jun Yan, "Solving one place is one place, otherwise it will be a drop in the bucket just relying on the imperial court to open granaries to relieve disasters."

"The seventh brother seeks profit for the people, but—"

Jun Shengze said, "Father, my son was lucky to befriend a capable man and stranger from Yan State the day before yesterday. He said that the drought in Yongzhou is because the father sits in the capital and sacrifices every year, so that the spirit of the real dragon envelopes the capital, and the people of Yongzhou The sacrificial ceremony has not been held for many years, which caused the wrath of the heavens."

"I ask for your order, and I am willing to perform a ceremony of praying for rain for the people of Yongzhou."

Jun Changge sneered, "Coincidentally, the seventh brother also has the idea of ​​praying for rain for the people of Yongzhou. The seventh brother is the crown prince conferred by the father himself, and he was raised by the father's side since he was a child. Why don't the seventh brother handle this matter?" Let the people of Yongzhou know that His Majesty Dayong has not given up on them."

Once he said this, the expressions of all civil and military officials changed.

If this matter is done well, it will definitely gain a reputation among the people, but high risks come with high benefits.

Who can guarantee that if you ask for rain, it will rain?
If you can't do it well, and you say it again, isn't it self-defeating?

Don't say that the emperor blames it, but even among the people, the reputation will be hard to hear.

Huidi thought over and over again, neither of these two sons is a fuel-efficient lamp.

They are all sluts who came to grab his throne.

Dissatisfied in his heart, he waved his hand and said:
"You are all my sons, no matter who goes, I don't worry. Since you have the idea of ​​benefiting the people, why don't you set off together in seven days. Whoever can solve the drought in Yongzhou first will go west and take over as my supervisor after my year. country."

Let's fight, fight, kill one is one.

Jun Yan clasped his hands and said: "My son and minister will live up to the entrustment of the emperor!"

Jun Shengze: "My son takes orders."

Morning after.

Jun Yan and Jun Changge walked out of the hall.

At this time, the maidservant beside the queen came over, "Your Highness, the empress has a request."

"Go ahead alone."

After Jun Yan finished speaking to Jun Changge, he walked towards Jiaofang Hall.

As soon as he entered, Jun Yan felt that the surrounding atmosphere was very condensed.

He saluted respectfully: "My son, please greet the queen mother."

The veil was lifted, and Empress Chu walked forward slowly, "I heard that you are going to solve the drought in Yongzhou with the second prince today."

Jun Yan: "There is indeed such a thing."

"Who is going to pray for rain? Are there any real capable people around you?"

"My son intends to go with the Crown Princess, she..."

Empress Chu interrupted him: "I'm talking to you about the affairs of the court, you don't want to talk about this woman in everything! She is a bit clever, but she is not omnipotent. For such a big matter as asking for rain, a troublemaker Not good, the people of the Li people will look at you and the royal family to see the jokes of Bengong, I can't afford to lose face with that stupid woman of yours!"

"My son and Yaoyao are one. Even if something goes wrong, it will be my son's face. How can I embarrass my mother and concubine? Besides," Jun Yan said indifferently, "I earn my face, not someone else. of."

"You bastard, you're trying to disobey—"

"Empress!" The old mother beside Empress Chu gave her a quick wink, "Disobedience is a serious crime! You can't say the wrong thing in a moment of excitement! It will ruin the mother-child relationship between you and His Highness!"

"I see that you were stunned by that woman!"

Although Empress Chu did not say that she was disobedient, her tone became more and more cold: "Before you were with her, you did everything safely and beautifully, but now? Not half as capable as your brother. This trip to Yongzhou is related to the supervision of the state. Great power, if you can't even earn this, what is the use of my palace supporting you?!"

"If I had known today, I should have cultivated A Jue well. If he devotes three percent of his energy to the court, he will be many times better than you!"

Every word of contempt and disdain is like a sharp knife, piercing Jun Yan's heart fiercely.

Cold and ruthless, it makes people's internal organs churn.

It hurts and feels numb.

Jun Yan pursed his lips, "The queen mother is in good health, and she will surely live a long life. If that is the case, I might as well add a younger brother to the minister, so that he can teach her, and fulfill the queen mother's lofty ambitions."

"You—" Empress Chu was so angry that she blushed about the matter of the old mussel giving birth to pearls, "Get out of here!"

"Farewell, son."

Jun Yan withdrew from Jiaofang Palace.

But the inexplicable depression lingering in his heart lingered for a long time.

Eunuch Ma looked at the prince in fear, "His Royal Highness, are you going back to the prince's mansion?"

"Go to Babaozhai."

He ordered a piece of Hetian jade at Babaozhai a few days ago.

This piece of Hetian jade has a warm white luster, is the size of a palm, and is extremely beautiful.

When sending someone to look for it, Jun Yan wanted to carve a white magnolia hairpin and earrings for Song Yao.

Jun Yan took out a knife and sat on a chair to carve. This is not an easy task.

He almost used [-]% of his internal energy, and it took him half an hour to finish.

The fist-sized Hetian jade was carved into a favorite ornament of the daughter's family.

A smile appeared on Jun Yan's pale face.

Her fingertips rubbed lightly on the white magnolia, her dark pupils were filled with almost crazy affection.

He leaned over, his lips fell on the hosta, and kissed lightly.

quite a while.

The man's throat rolled, and an incomprehensible sigh overflowed, and he lowered his voice almost muttering, "I like it, Song Yao."

Jun Yan stepped out of the threshold.

Raising his hand, he beckoned Xiao Xiazi who was standing by, "Send it to your master.

When Xiao Xiazi took it, his eyes changed slightly, "Master, your hand is injured."

Jun Yan wrapped the fingertip cut by the knife on the handkerchief, wiped off the blood on it, and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter."

"Pass this to your mistress first."

Xiao Xiazi nodded quickly.

Jun Yan went back to the wing room of Babaozhai to apply medicine to his fingers. He didn't want Song Yao to see the scars on his fingers.

*
In the Prince's Mansion, Song Yao was sitting beside the desk, with his right hand resting on his cheek, his eyelids sinking little by little.

Ban Xia stood at the door and stretched his neck to look out, muttering softly, "His Royal Highness gave the gift, why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that there is something delaying?"

She waited for a while, but still couldn't wait for the prince.

Turning his head to look at Song Yao, he saw that Song Yao was in a daze, with the white magnolia hairpin on his head crooked, and he almost fell asleep.

Ban Xia hates iron but not steel, "Aren't you worried about His Royal Highness?"

"I've done the math, he won't have any bloodshed."

"Your servant doesn't mean that. I mean, there are too many goblins in the fox now. Aren't you afraid that he will be caught by other people?"

"But I'm so hungry that I don't have the energy to go out and look for him." Song Yao clutched her stomach and cried.

Ban Xia was so distressed, "If you bear with it, the prince will come soon."

Saying that, let Xiao Xiazi go out to have a look.

Xiao Xiazi ran out of the hall all the way, and saw the figure of the prince and his party. He was about to go up to the ceremony when he suddenly heard a woman's singing not far away.

He couldn't help but pause.

Not only Xiao Xiazi, Jun Yan not far away also heard the woman's voice.

That voice is gentle and affectionate, like the Ru Nong soft language of Jiangnan, it sounds very small and gentle.

Jun Yan's footsteps stopped, and he couldn't help but listened to God.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiazi in the distance screamed inwardly that something was wrong, this must be some little vixen seducing His Highness the Crown Prince!
Judging by the prince's appearance, he must be cheating.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Xiazi is under Ma Gonggong's command, but the princess treats him well, he hesitates again and again, and decides to follow up to see if he can make the prince return to the right place.

The closer you get, the clearer the singing becomes.

Wait for Jun Yan to step forward.

The woman who sang turned her head.

Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Xiazi could clearly see the woman's face, she was Liu Meiren!
Liu Meiren did not expect to run into His Highness the Crown Prince here, and immediately knelt down in a panic, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince! I didn't know that the Crown Prince was here, but I offended His Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive me!"

Her voice was already soft, but compared to Wang Meiren's seductive appearance, it was even more fairy-like, and she couldn't bear to reprimand her.

Jun Yan asked her to stand up.

Liu Meiren was wearing a goose-yellow long dress, and the thin white gauze skirt was attached to her body, which made her figure more slender and weak, and coupled with that lovely and pitiful expression, it made people's hearts flutter.

It was the third time she met the prince, and every time she saw it, her chest would vibrate, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak.

At this moment, her cheeks are flushed, she is shy and timid, and the lust is still welcome, which makes people want to stop.

Jun Yan asked, "What are you singing?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the concubine sang a minor tune from Yangzhou."

"Your ancestral home is Yangzhou?"

"Yes."

Jun Yan was silent for a while, Shi Suiyao's mother was also from Yangzhou, and when he was young, he hummed many folk tunes to him.

Immediately, he took a step forward and locked his eyes on the other party's small, white face.

Xiao Xiazi's heart skipped a beat.

It's over.

This look!This look!
The old saying is good, don't stare at a woman in a daze, no, the prince can't help but fall in love with her!
What about the princess?
Xiao Xiazi was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and was about to rush out to hit Liu Meiren, but he never thought that the next moment, Jun Yan raised his hand and pinched her neck, and said coldly: "It's Mrs. Xi who taught you to sing!" The song? Did someone in your mother’s harem give you pointers? Do you think you can handle Gu with the little master-servant affection you used to have?”

Liu Meiren's tiger body shook, and then the smile froze on her face.

Here, why not follow the script?
Thinking of Shi Suiyao's previous exhortation, he quickly lowered his head and said,
"What is His Highness talking about? I don't quite understand."

"The prince's mansion doesn't need slaves who can sing. Know your identity, go back to your bedroom, and run out to sing and dance in the middle of the night. Gu thinks that you want to meet and perform as a performer, and I will send you off."

Liu Meiren imagined many ways for the prince to react when he heard her singing, but she never thought that he would be so impatient with her.

In fact, it was Song Yao who sang the song last night.

Jun Yan was already a little wary of this song, Liu Meiren stayed up most of the night and sang it, what should the little girl do when she hears that she feels inferior and irritable?
What's more, this person is not good.

Jun Yan waved and told Eunuch Ma, "Go and tell Mrs. Xi..."

After he exhorted.

Day two.

Liu Meiren came to apologize to Song Yao, "The concubine did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would pass by here," she lied and said, "Although the Crown Prince boasted that my concubine sings well, there will never be anything redundant about her." The idea. I just want to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.”

Song Yao's face darkened, "He really praised you for singing well?"

"Could it be fake?" Wang Meiren swore from the side.

Song Yao snorted coldly, "He's gone too far. The Palace of Losing Money took care of the inner house for him. It's all a mistake to pay. I can't take care of the inner house anymore!"

Wang Meiren's eyes lit up.

He quickly put on a worried expression, "That's not okay, Crown Princess, there are only a few of us in this inner house now, if you don't care about it, what will happen to this inner house?"

Song Yao said angrily, "It's fine to change someone to take care of it, anyway, I won't serve you anymore."

After finishing speaking, his eyes flicked across the face of the white beauty Wang Meiren.

Wang Meiren couldn't hold back, and hinted frantically, "It's better to be a concubine—"

"Liu Meiren, come with me to the bedroom, I have something to explain to you."

Song Zhao dropped these words.

Liu Meiren was taken aback for a moment, then calmly followed Song Yao away.

Wang Meiren was stunned in disbelief.

*
"Crown princess, do you have anything to explain to my concubine?"

Liu Meiren lowered her head.

She knew that Song Yao was not easy to deal with, so she was a little wary.

Song Yao took out a ledger, put it in Liu Meiren's hands, and said, "Liu Meiren, I am very optimistic about you. From today onwards, you will be in charge of this inner house."

Liu Meiren was astonished, joy flashed through her eyes, and she humbly refused, "But I can't do it as a concubine, I come from a humble background..."

Song Yao waved her hand, "No, you can do it. When you learn it, I will make you a side concubine. You and I will work together to secure His Highness's heart."

Liu Meiren seemed to be hit by a pie falling from the sky.

But she tried her best to control her excitement, and said reservedly, "I am very grateful to the Crown Princess for her trust, and I ask the Crown Princess to give you more instructions in the future."

Song Yao pretended to praise Liu Meiren a few words, and took out the golden step Yao from the dowry and gave it to her.
