When Luo Xiyao and the wives sent off the carriages of the queen and the princes and concubines, they never told the princess the reason.

However, a few days later, the empress asked someone to count the rice grains used for the royal family's porridge, and personally watched the people weigh the rice grains into the warehouse.

Afterwards, many carriages left at night and entered Prince Shanqi's mansion, in exchange for more brown rice to enter the palace.

And the Crown Princess finally understood why Luo Xiyao helped her, Luo Xiyao was to exchange brown rice for the fine grains in their hands!

Unpolished rice is the lowest grade of rice, and naturally the price is the cheapest, while the price of polished rice is different. The best tribute rice is even available for sale.

Rice is expensive in disaster years, even the price of brown rice is soaring.

The governor of Kyoto made great efforts to flatten the price of rice so that the common people could afford the rice in the shop, but...there was no rice in the shop, no matter how low the price was, it was useless!

The Eastern Qi Emperor already knew that the crown prince was roasted on the fire by Xungui, and he used the rice to serve porridge well. He also knew that the old mother falsely passed on the queen's oral order to let the female relatives also use the rice to serve porridge well.

First set up a trick to let the prince get involved, and then used the guilty conscience of the prince and princess to frame the queen, and even used the old mother to trap the queen mother in, but the courtiers and wives knew it was wrong, but they were afraid of the royal family's prestige and could not speak , In the end, refined grains can't last long, and brown rice doesn't exist.

The Eastern Qi Emperor wanted to know who used the old mother to intertwine to push the prince, queen, and him to this point, and to push the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to this point.

It's a pity that the old nanny hanged herself. When his people rushed over, they only saw her dead body hanging under the beam.

At this time, the brown rice from Prince Shanqi's Mansion became life-saving rice in the capital.

He Lan Linzhang was a little ashamed, and said: "Your Majesty also knows the family background of the minister. The minister has been in the Eastern Qi Dynasty for many years, and now he is returning to Mobei... Let alone return home, can't be underestimated? What's more, the minister brought Jiu Niang , if Mobei is not allowed to know that I have some family background, Jiuniang will have a difficult life in Mobei in the future. You know, it is marching and fighting, and it will take two months to travel from the capital to the border, not to mention the entourage of Chen's convoy So in order to save some flowers, I sent the housekeeper to buy brown rice early."

"So how much brown rice do you have in your house?" Emperor Dongqi asked.

"The team departs from the capital to Mobei, and the minister is calculated on the basis of half a year... When the minister asked people to buy, brown rice was still very cheap, so... just more, not less."

"Half a year?" Emperor Dongqi looked at the nervous Helan Linzhang standing in the hall, and asked: "There was no disaster at that time, how could you think that it took half a year for you to go to Mobei?"

He Lan Linzhang lowered his head even lower, his ears were red, and he said in a low voice: "Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang has only been to the capital city other than Pingcheng. When I escorted her to the capital, I didn't take her for a walk. shopping, so I thought, take this opportunity to take a walk with her and have a look." He was depressed, with deep reluctance, "I don't know if I will have a chance to come back in the future..."

Emperor Dongqi said: "Why is there no chance? After you take Jiuniang back to ask the Great Master to bless you, you will accompany your father. Your father has always been strong, even if he is sick, you can come back when he recovers." As for your brothers... If they treat you well, you will get along with them. If they bully you like you did when you were a child, you can write to me and I will be the master for you! When the time comes, you will have to ask your father and Great Master, they called you back but didn't treat you kindly, what exactly are they going to do? Could it be that they want to seriously hurt my heart by hurting you little husband and wife?"

"His Majesty……"

"You can be regarded as growing up beside me, and I raised you as my child." Emperor Dongqi said, "Don't worry, I will never let them bully you."

"If it weren't for the desolation of Mobei, I would like to leave my family behind." He Lan Linzhang said with red eyes, "Everything I have is given by your majesty. Now that Eastern Qi is in trouble, why don't your majesty give you the wedding gift and gift from you?" The dowry will be withdrawn for the time being, and when Dong Qi recovers in the future, you can send someone to send it to Mobei, and the minister will still have face."

Emperor Dongqi said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is the dowry for you? I gave Luo Jiuniang the dowry for you. Is the dowry for you? The dowry is for Jiuniang's parents! You made the decision in a few words, how to face her when you go back? Oh, I sent someone to make up the wedding gift for you. You have face, and I don’t want to lose face? Later, your father will find a reason to point my nose and scold me. He must be riding on a horse with a long knife and sneering, asking if this is how I treat my son?"

He Lan Linzhang hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Emperor Dongqi snorted coldly, "You leave the brown rice, and I will have someone supply you with the equivalent of fine grains. You must not be able to eat these grains, but who asked me to treat you as my own son? My son You have to be tricked by your father! If you don’t have enough, let people buy it along the way!”

The two of them had a deep affection for their father in the imperial study, and they made an arrangement for exchanging food. Emperor Dongqi asked him the date of departure.

He Lan sighed in Linzhang: "Qin Tian monitored the day, it's the end of June."

"Why are you sighing at such a young age? You don't have to lament your old age." Emperor Dongqi said, "At the end of June, there are not many days left for you to relax. After changing the rice grains, you should prepare well! At that time, Let the prince give you a ride."

"The son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall, how can I let the prince see you off?" He Lan Linzhang firmly refused, "Jiu Niang will not even do the ceremony, and I can't add chaos to your majesty and the court at this time."

Luo Xiyao spat out the grape skins, and said in a cool tone, "So no one will send us off?"

Helan Linzhang looked at her amusedly, "Which one do you want to send?"

"I don't want anyone to give it to me!" She said while eating, "I just think it's a pity that I didn't see the scene of your father-son love with fake eyebrows and fake gestures."

"The bride price and dowry given by the imperial court seem to be of high value, but most of them are flashy things, otherwise I wouldn't let you choose something that can be used to exchange money for flattery and food." Luo Xiyao snorted coldly, "Good one Loving father, if you know that there is not enough food to eat, you still don’t give some money to compensate. It’s not enough to take advantage of it, right? Now that so many places in Dongqi are suffering from disasters, let us buy along the way, who to buy with? And God? You can be so touched. Eye circles instead of sneering, I really admire you so much!"

"Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Although there are many flashy things given by the Emperor Dongqi, we got them without spending a penny. And even if we don't need those gold, jade, porcelain, cloth and brocades, Mobei and Ximan The nobles like it very much, and the things that come for nothing are worth a lot of money. Compared with these benefits, it’s nothing to bear a smile. And I told Emperor Dongqi that you asked me to intervene for you in the mansion. As for hairpins and ceremonies, he rewarded another box of jade hairpins, and I saw that some of them were from the previous dynasty, and they were good things."

"Oh?" Luo Xiyao became interested, "Where is it?"

"The queen still has a reward, so I sent it with the carriage for food exchange. If there is no accident, you will see it at night."
