Chapter 290 Naha is the real princess

The cotton planted in Yunchu has already bloomed, and the white flowers bloom layer upon layer on the cotton tree, which is very beautiful.

In another half a month, these flowers will turn reddish brown and gradually wither, leaving small green capsules called cotton bolls.

There are cottonseeds in the cotton bolls, and the fluff on the cottonseeds grows from the skin of the cottonseeds and fills the inside of the cotton bolls. When the cotton bolls mature, they crack, exposing soft fibers.The fiber is white or white with yellow, which is the cotton Yunchu needs.

Although cotton was droughted and flooded again by the bad weather this summer, God bless, neither of these two disasters caused fundamental damage to cotton.It's growing very well now.

Now that the cotton is blooming, it is the most important time for the management of the cotton field. Both Yunchu and Liu Rengui are willing to stay in the field and watch.

In fact, only this excuse allowed the two of them to leave Chang'an and avoid saluting Wu Mei at the grand ceremony where Li Zhi canonized Wu Mei as queen.

However, this kind of behavior is extremely naive, even if you avoid it this time, there will be another time, and you can't avoid it no matter what.

Hiding in the cotton field now, the greatness is just a kind of comfort in the heart.

Liu Rengui really disagreed with Li Zhi's making Wu Mei the queen, not because he was unwilling to salute Wu Mei.

Yun Chu knew that if he saluted Wu Mei now, he might face liquidation in the future, and this was the reason why he refused to stay in Chang'an City.

Even though their starting points are different, their unwillingness to enter Chang'an City is the same.

"When do you think the cotton will grow?"

Yun Chu couldn't remember clearly, this was the first time Liu Rengui asked him this question.

"It will take another month and a half. At that time, the bolls will bloom, and that will be the most beautiful time for the cotton fields."

"How much do you think the harvest in the cotton field will be different from what we expected?"

"Don't worry, everything seems to be going well so far."

"The Ministry of Rites has already started to build a high platform in front of the Taiji Palace, and at the same time, Qujiang has also started to ram earth to build an altar.

I don't understand, His Majesty is just a queen, why do you want to go to war so much? "

"I think it might be for Changsun Wuji."

Liu Rengui sighed and said, "Will Your Majesty really move Changsun Wuji? If you move him, it may shake the foundation of the country."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Compared with shaking the country, I think His Majesty cares more about monopolizing power."

Liu Rengui sighed and said: "Chu Suiliang arrived in Tanzhou with his whole family. Today, His Majesty issued an order saying that Chu Suiliang was disrespectful in the memorial and was once again demoted to Guizhou.

If His Majesty doesn't like Chu Suiliang, for the sake of his hard work for the Tang Dynasty, it's enough to let him retire and return to his hometown to settle down in peace. "

Yunchu sighed and said, "Guizhou is far from the end of Chu Suiliang's relegation."

Liu Rengui was taken aback and said, "Guizhou is already far away in the sky, where miasma and pestilence are rampant, and the land is remote and people are far away. Where else can we get it?"

Yun Chu said leisurely: "Actually, I really like this place in Guizhou. I heard people say that Guizhou's mountains and rivers are the best in the world. If I can go and see the scenery there in my life, it must be a great thing."

"You mean, Chu Suiliang's mentality is wrong?"

"That's right, since you have already failed, then pretend to be dead without saying a word, and wait for the chance to make a comeback.

He blatantly accuses His Majesty of wronging him, and I'm sorry for him. With His Majesty's temper, it would be strange not to relegate him to Aizhou. "

Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "Aizhou is in Jiaozhi, even if His Majesty is going too far, it is impossible to treat Chu Suiliang like this."

Yun Chu smiled slightly, and without refuting, turned his eyes to the cotton field again, and said in a low voice: "Actually, everything is fake. Now I only believe in things that grow in the ground, and only this thing is real. .”

Just when Yunchu and Liu Rengui were drinking tea in the cotton field like two vengeful creatures, complaining about the current affairs, Yu Xiurong, an official woman, was dressing up for the Empress Inauguration Ceremony.

Yunchu's rank is the sixth rank, and the rank of the life-long wife of the Tang Dynasty stops abruptly at the rank of the fifth rank.

Yu Xiurong originally thought that entering the Taiji Palace to participate in the grand ceremony was not her part, but this time, there was a decree, ordering the wives of officials above the sixth rank to also attend the ceremony.

The women of the Tang Dynasty were divided into the first-rank wife of the country, the third-rank and above were the county wives, the fourth-rank was the county lord, the fifth-rank was the county lord, and the sixth-rank was nothing.

Wu Mei's elder sister is Mrs. Wei Guo, her short-lived niece is Mrs. Han, and they are all first-rank Mrs. Guo, but Wu Mei herself is only a second-rank Zhaoyi.

According to the classification, Yu Xiurong is not qualified to bring Jin Buyao and Fengchai.

However, this is not a big problem for her, because the family has the crowns rewarded by the palace. Although these crowns are not as well-made as those at home, if she wants to wear them on big occasions, she can only bring the rewards. There are only these heads, which can be worn regardless of grade.

Compared with Yu Xiurong who was in a hurry, Naha seemed much calmer, because she could also go to Taiji Palace to participate in Wu Mei's empress ceremony, and Wu Mei personally invited her to go.

Of course, Naha still can't get Wu Mei's post, but the post is for Master Xuanzang, so, as the only boy next to Master Xuanzang, Naha will naturally participate, and she will also be in Xuanzang. After praying for the emperor and the empress couple, dip the willow branches in water to wet the uppers of the emperor and empress.

In July, Naha already ate melons. The melons she ate were delivered by old monkeys who had already gone to Hexi and entrusted Hu merchants on the way.

This is a new type of melon, with white skin and green flesh. It tastes crunchy, just like eating cucumbers. However, while maintaining the crispness of cucumbers, it is also sweet and fragrant.

Yu Xiurong, who had just washed her hair, smelled the scent of melon, and unceremoniously took away half of the melon she had eaten from her sister-in-law. After two mouthfuls of it, she tapped it on Naha's forehead.

"Why don't you think about my sister-in-law for such a delicious thing? She is pregnant with Liujia, so she just wants to eat some melon."

Naha roared and was about to run away, but Yu Xiurong said slowly: "Remember, the child in my stomach has the same surname as yours, so it's all right if you treat me badly, why don't you even treat your little nephew and niece? Are you distressed?"

Naha was pinched to death by Yu Xiurong. This kind of crispy melon is very rare. Even the old monkey only got eight of them for Naha, and she ate three of them in one go. He ate another one just now, leaving only For the next four, Naha brought them all back to Yu Xiurong.

Yu Xiurong asked Er Fei to wash one, and she carefully pulled out the seeds from the melon, took a bite of the melon, and said to Naha: "Tomorrow's grand ceremony, the maids are not allowed in, my stomach It's too big, it's inconvenient, after you serve Master Xuanzang, come over and help me to order, I think if it takes a long time, you may not be able to stand up."

Naha said angrily: "Tomorrow must be a crowded scene, otherwise you shouldn't go, you have such a big stomach, if something goes wrong, I'll see how you will explain to your brother then."

Yu Xiurong stroked his belly and said, "Why don't you go, your brother ran away, if I don't go, people think our family has something to say about the queen.

Besides, our family has a good relationship with the royal family, and there is a daughter born to the queen in the family.

It might be inconspicuous not to go to other people's houses, but if we don't go to our house, the queen might hold grudges. "

Naha watched Yu Xiurong gnaw the melon until it crackled, took a sip of saliva and said, "Okay, I'll come to you tomorrow after I finish my work.

Actually, I think no one will remember whether you will go tomorrow or not. After all, there are too many sixth-rank officials in the capital, and they have too many wives. "

After Yu Xiurong finished eating the melon, he pulled out a handkerchief from Naha's sleeve, wiped his mouth casually, then threw the handkerchief to Naha and said, "Anyway, you should come here earlier.

After attending the grand ceremony, we still have to go to the Imperial Medical Office, and ask Mr. Fu's family to help me feel the pulse.

When the time comes, you will accompany me. "

Ever since Yu Xiurong became pregnant, Naha, who had no status at home, could only nod her head in agreement. She really didn't want anything to happen to her little nephew or niece.

Seeing Naha leaving in a disgruntled manner, Cui blamed Yu Xiurong on the sidelines.

"How can a sister-in-law torture a sister-in-law like this? If there is a grudge between you, I'll see how you end up."

Yu Xiurong said lazily: "Naha is a child with a very good heart. All these years, because of his brother's liking, grandpa Shitou's pampering, and Master Xuanzang's protection, he refuses to use his brain when doing anything.

Think everyone is a good person.

It can't go on like this.

I also heard from my husband that Grandpa Shitou is going to the Western Regions this time, intending to destroy a country and give Naha a princess status.

Even though she is a princess of a small country, she will be considered to have a title that can be earned by then. "

Cui frowned and said, "Princess Fanbang's name doesn't sound good in the Tang Dynasty, right? Are there not many princesses brought from the Western Regions and grasslands these years?

I heard that there are many princesses in the Yeting Palace who dance for the nobles. A good Buddhist girl from the Tang Dynasty is ten thousand times more famous than a princess from Fanbang. "

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "I heard your husband didn't say that, Grandpa Shitou didn't just give Naha a princess name, maybe he would create a country with people, territories, and cities.

Then use the name of this country to explore the Western Regions, and fight against tribes or countries that refuse to believe in Buddhism. "

Cui said cautiously: "That is to say, Naha has only one title, so she doesn't have to go to the Western Regions to become the female king, right?"

"No need, this child has lived a very smooth and comfortable life until now, if she is allowed to develop such a carefree temper, she may suffer a big loss in the future.

As a sister-in-law, I naturally need to train her more. "

Cui said disdainfully: "I see, you just want to mess with Naha and eat melons, why did you say such a big bunch of truths?"

Yu Xiurong laughed loudly and said: "You don't know, bullying, bullying Naha, this hot day is easy."
