Chapter 113 Here Comes Lunch

The crown prince and the second prince have become filial sons these days, Cheng Rijie stays around in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, serving his father's soup and medicine.

Looking at it suddenly, I thought how filial the crown prince and the second prince are!
In fact, everyone knows it well.

The two spent time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, needless to say, everyone was worried that if they left, their father would die.

The two brothers didn't feel at ease to take a step away, and stood guard in front of the dragon couch.I'm afraid that in case of that, when the time comes, they will sit on that throne based on their own influence and strength.

All of a sudden, the situation in the court was treacherous, and the two men fought openly and secretly.
From time to time, the princelings and the second prince's people were at loggerheads with each other, and even had to confront each other.

Emperor Hui'an couldn't be blamed for causing today's situation where brothers fight against each other.

Now that there is a crown prince and a crown prince, it is reasonable to reduce the influence of the second prince, or to stay away from the capital and become an idle prince who does not care about government affairs.

However, Emperor Hui'an's ears were soft, he listened to Concubine Gao's pillow talk, and left the second prince in the capital to fight against the power of the prince.

Emperor Hui'an was deeply afraid that he would end up like the previous emperors, and if he didn't wipe any of them, the throne would be taken away by the prince.He became a powerless overlord himself.

Nowadays, various memorials from all over the world are all sent to the political affairs cabinet, so busy that Wei Ziqian and all the cabinet members can't breathe, and bury their heads in the memorials.

On the desk in front of me is an excerpt from the prefect of Suzhou, which shows the drought in Suzhou.

Suzhou is originally a place with little rain. At this time of year, almost all parts of the country are rainy in autumn, and Suzhou is no exception.

Why is there a drought this year?
As the saying goes, spring sows and autumn harvests, and there are more than a month, that is, when one grain of millet is sown in spring and ten thousand seeds are harvested in autumn.

This season is very important for the crops planted in the field.Otherwise, when it comes to the autumn harvest, half of the harvest will be considered good.

Even so, farmers did not pay enough exorbitant taxes.

Not to mention the one-year rations for the rest of the family. What awaits them is to sell their sons and daughters and go out to beg for food.

As a result, Suzhou will be in chaos.

Now the imperial court should have dispatched officials to clear up and guide, and even do a good job in post-disaster rescue, instead of quietly doing nothing, which is abnormal. If it is not for the inaction of officials, it will be the loss of the memorials passed to Beijing. blame.

This matter still needs to be discussed with Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Households after taking back the booklet and discussing it with his subordinates. The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters.

Wait for Yang Shangshu's memorabilia to be presented to the superior and to the emperor for decision.

But, where does the emperor decide now?
At that time, the cabinet can only discuss it, and then submit it to Prince Chen Rui.

I hope he can stand up at the critical moment, and the people of Suzhou are in dire straits.

"Wei Yi, hurry up and send the notebook to Yang Shangshu, and let him finish the regulations within a day." Wei Ziqian frowned, and greeted Wei Yi who was waiting in the tea room outside.

At this moment, a thin voice came from the door of the Political Affairs Hall: "Prime Minister Wei, the head of your family has brought lunch."

"Ok?"

The head of the family delivers lunch?
How can it be?

This has never happened since he became an official.

"Yes, Lord." Wei Yi from the outside agreed, and took the food box from the little eunuch and brought it in.

Wei carried the food box to the coffee table on the side, and reached out to open the sturdy mahogany food box. There are three layers in the food box. The top layer is sea bass and water shield soup and eight-treasure tender tofu, and the second layer is spinach and caviar in sesame sauce. Stir-fried lily with celery, the third layer is a bowl with a crabapple flower-shaped bowl cover to cover the staple food.

Wei Yi looked at Wei Ziqian, who was sitting on a red sandalwood armchair working, and saw him frowning and staring at the food box without saying a word.So he took the initiative to lift the lid of the last bowl, which was still hot when touching the edge of the bowl. Immediately, an appetizing strong fish fragrance wafted out.

Well, it's glutinous rice porridge and fish soup.

Needless to say, it was lunch brought to him by his little wife.

My heart felt like a young man, bursting with ecstasy.

"Go to the gate of the palace quickly and see if the young mistress has left?"

Wei Yi: "Yes!"

With a smile on the corner of Wei Ziqian's mouth, he ordered and washed his hands in a copper basin beside him.

Although it's not time for meal yet, smelling the aroma of meal, I feel hungry inexplicably.

The most important thing is that the meal was brought by his little wife, which can be described as loving food, which even whetted his appetite, and he couldn't wait to enjoy it.

When Wei Ziqian was about to sit on the short stick and pick up the chopsticks, he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and said, "I'll go in person."

Wei Yi was still worried that someone from unknown origin would send it here, and he was afraid that people from the opposing camp would poison the food, so he planned to test the poison first!

Unexpectedly, it was the lunch brought by the young lady. No wonder Grandpa is in a good mood, smiling like a nympho, no, smiling like a stunned young man.

It was the first time for Wei Yi to see his master smiling like this, and it was really shocking.

However, since the emperor fell ill, Cheng Rijie has always been dignified and cold, devoting himself to working hard for the court.

Only when he got home, did he see his frowning furrowed.

Only the young mistress can let him put down the endless tedious official duties for a short time and let him relax.

Wei Yi hastily gathered up the folder Wei Ziqian put aside, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, closed the door behind him, and quickly followed Wei Ziqian out.

When Wei Ziqian hurried out from the corner gate of the palace gate and came to the place where the carriage was parked, Xia Sichan had just left.

When Wang Lin saw that his master was coming, he thought he was going out.

He hurriedly said, "Master, where are you going?" As he said, he went to untie the horse's reins.

"It's nothing." After Wei Ziqian finished speaking, he restrained his searching eyes.

After changing his eager expression just now, he lowered his eyes, and Shi Shi suddenly left.

In fact, Wei Ziqian also knew that he was making an empty trip.

The imperial palace is not any other place, officials and family members can come in and out at will.

He just took a chance to see if he could see his little wife.

"Eh?" Wang Lin was surprised.

Wei Yi suppressed his smile, untied his horse Gray Rabbit from the reins, led it out, and got on the saddle.Holding the rein in one hand, waving the whip in the other hand, with a "snap" in the air, the driver.
He ran straight to the Yamen of the Household Department of Changsheng Street.

······
After Xia Sichan delivered her lunch, she also knew that the palace was not a yamen, so she was not allowed to enter it at will.

"Uncle Ma, go to Baoqing Tower." Still boarded the carriage, turned his head and left.

"Okay!" Ma Guichun agreed, then turned the horse's head and drove towards Changsheng Road with a rumbling sound.

Changsheng Street is worthy of being one of the busiest streets in the capital. This street not only has many government offices, but also many shops.

There are not only the thriving Zuixian restaurant and the largest Fengyuelou Huayuelou, but also the jewelry shop Baoqinglou, Yuansheng jewelry shop and several rouge and gouache shops.

Not to mention Xiangyuzhai and Zhenxiu Pavilion, the snack shops that women love to eat.

Therefore, except after the curfew, this street is crowded with people at any time.The bustling traffic is a bustling scene.

 Wei Ziqian: It's better to be a little wife!Since he started his official career, it was the first time that someone brought him meals.
