Song Yuanhuanzhi

Qi family
Qi Liangzuo was sitting with Lan Xianfu drinking tea.

Lan Ranfu tasted the tea carefully, then sighed, "Your tea is good, more fragrant than the tea in Jian'an County."

Qi Liangzuo smiled and said, "You don't have to tease me. I heard that you specially set aside two yards a year ago to store tea. Zi Ke is a good son-in-law, and he is very filial to you."

Lan Lanfu quickly waved his hand and explained: "The rumors in the market are not credible. They were all prepared by Lan'er in Jian'an County. Didn't I also send someone to bring them to you all to taste? How can there be such exaggeration in the rumors? .”

Qi Liangzuo lamented: "People's words are terrible. From ancient times to the present, how many people have been harmed by such pointless rumors."

Lan Ranfu raised his glass, "I understand what Brother Qi said, don't worry."

Qi Liangzuo also raised his glass, and the two of them took a sip of tea.

Lan Lanfu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Today, the court suddenly mentioned the matter of establishing a prince..."

There was a cold look in Qi Liangzuo's eyes, and he said something in a flat voice that was not in line with his current status and temperament, "Those dirty things will only use these dirty tricks."

Qi Yuansang was able to be targeted by Zhou Jing in the first place, in addition to the influence of the Qi family, there was also Qi Liangzuo.

A person who is highly regarded by the emperor is naturally first-class in ability and planning. Would such a person not be able to see the conspiracy today?

The answer is obvious.

Lan Lanfu's voice softened, "Is Your Majesty really fast..."

Qi Liangzuo knew what Lan Ranfu had left unfinished.

This matter is just as Lan Xianfu guessed, His Majesty's health is indeed getting worse day by day.

At most it can last for a year or two.

"If it is true, establishing a crown prince must be put on the agenda." Lan Ranfu said.

Qi Liangzuo: "It would be great if it were really that easy."

Lan Ranfu snorted coldly, "What a good plan. When the Emperor's health appears, they will immediately push the Qi family to the forefront."

"Even if your Majesty..., the princes are still young, and they are all eldest princes in terms of direct descendants and elders. There is no need to jump out at this time."

Qi Liangzuo lowered his eyes.

Since the Fan family dares to bring this matter up, there is a certain certainty that His Majesty will be suspicious of this matter.

The Fan family knew more about His Majesty's condition than he imagined.

The Fan family's hands were stretched too far, so Sonny could only be more careful in the palace.

Fengyi Palace

The four corners of the hall were burning with silver charcoal, and the whole room was warm.

Xiaoyao stood at the edge, with a lingering sadness between his brows.

Qi Yuansang was not wearing any outer robe, and was pacing back and forth on the plush carpet with his bare feet.

She had already received the news about the discussion in court today about establishing a heir apparent. Based on her understanding of Zhou Jing, he would definitely be wary of herself and the Qi family.

In the beginning, it was just because of the absurd conclusion that Song Huan had not appeared in his dream that he ended up like that. Neither she, Zhou Chen, nor the Qi family could take the risk.

Qi Yuansang thought about the news from Jiang Chao, pursed his lips, and sat down. Xiao Yao quickly stepped forward and presented the warm tea.

Qi Yuansang signaled her to put down the tea and said: "For Jiang Chao to agree to the other party, the beginning of spring is the best time. This is only this opportunity. If it is gone, next time..."

There may not be a next time.

Xiaoyao nodded heavily, "Yes."

When Xiaoyao was about to leave, his peripheral vision fell on the few white hairs on the back of Qi Yuansang's head, and he felt panicked.

It has only been a few years since the young lady entered the palace, and she is only a few years old this year, but she has already had gray hair.Thinking of the days when I was free and happy outside the palace, how wonderful it would be if I didn't enter the palace.

Xiaoyao lowered his gaze. Now, it was too late to think about anything.

Xiaoyao went to the old place to pass on the plan.

When I came out, I was shocked. I subconsciously wanted to remind the people in the room but I held it back.

Xiao Yao was worried in her heart, but she looked calm on her face. Over the years in the palace, she had also developed the skill of keeping her expression calm during the ups and downs, "Eunuch Li, why are you here when you are not with His Majesty?"

The people in the house heard the noise and hid quickly.

Eunuch Li looked at Xiao Yao and said nothing nonsense, "Does Aunt Yao know what happened in the court today?"

Xiaoyao's eyelids drooped slightly to conceal his mood, and then he pretended to know nothing and asked doubtfully: "Chaotang? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. What happened in the court that I, a palace maid, should know?"

Eunuch Li sighed and said, "Go and find out."

Xiao Yao nodded ignorantly.

When Eunuch Li was about to leave, he turned around and said, "By the way, Fengyi Palace needs to be more cautious these days."

Eunuch Li left after saying these vague words.

Xiaoyao was in a complicated mood. Eunuch Li was His Majesty's man, and now he came to remind himself.

Could it be...

Is it to leave a way out for himself?
Xiaoyao didn't think deeply about it. In any case, it was just fine that he didn't notice the situation.

……

Jian'an County

Song Yi and Yu Yi invited several representatives who participated in the road construction to come to the road.

Before the frost has melted, the employed people are already working hard to cultivate the land.

One hoe after another.

Although everyone was physically tired, they were not mentally tired. There was no numbness on their faces, and occasionally you could still see smiles on some of their faces.

Compared with the numbness during the corvee and the lifelessness of waiting for death, the current scene is considered relaxing.

Everyone was led by the yamen who led the team to a temporary shed built by the roadside. This was a temporary kitchen. Because the kitchen had to be demolished and rebuilt as the road was being opened, it was very simple.

There were several stoves piled up with stones, and the cracks in the stones were blocked with mud to prevent insufficient firepower. There were several large pots on them, and the aroma of the large pots of food was wafting out of them.

Everyone walked to a simple dining table that was slightly dusty with yellow mud.

Song Yi casually patted the stool with his hand and sat down, with a casual and open look, and then Yu Yi followed suit and sat down.

Yu Gangyi and other people from other families looked at each other. Although everyone felt disgusted in their hearts, with Song Yi as the prefect and the general magistrate, they would not be sensible if they continued to find fault. They could only endure the discomfort in their hearts and sit down. , this time is probably the only time that these young men have been so wronged.

Yu Gangyi looked at each of them struggling to dig the road, and boasted: "I didn't have such an opportunity to see the Ningde road before, but now I see that Master Song has really taken both sides into account."

The Peng family next to Yu Gangyi said: "It provides us with the opportunity to make money, and it also allows the people to increase their income. It kills two birds with one stone. It's wonderful, wonderful, hahaha."

The Peng family laughed until their voices lost their confidence and they could only stop talking in embarrassment.

Song Yi smiled and came to the rescue, and said: "Master Peng is right, and I have indeed had this idea. It has been said since ancient times that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, so I don't want fish and bear's paws, only fish." Fins and bear bones can always be put to good use, right?"

Yu Yi's smile paused, and then returned to normal.

Yu Gangyi and the others were also stunned. They had only heard that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but they had never heard this statement from Song Yi. In the end, it was Yu Yi who reacted the fastest to lighten up the stagnant atmosphere. .
