Chapter 933 Spring Ploughing

This year's rain came earlier than in previous years. It was just spring, with lightning and thunder, and the drizzle of rain arriving as expected.

Brother Lu packed his things carelessly. He had nothing to pack, and a grown man was not used to doing this, so he quickly lost his patience.

He threw things on the bed and heard the sound of rain outside. Brother Lu went to close the window. A cold wind blew. He turned around and found that the door was open, and there was a wet person standing at the door.

Brother Lu frowned slightly and stood looking at the man. The man looked at him and then entered the door. Wet footprints were left on the ground, and the dagger emitting cold light flashed away.

Blood splattered everywhere, soaking the window and leaving a red silhouette.

Tao Zhen sneezed and closed the window. Pei Zhan put a piece of clothing on her. Tao Zhen sat on a chair and listened to the thunderstorm outside: "Brother Lu said he was leaving the capital."

Pei Zhan was not surprised, he was just a little distracted looking at the dark window.

Brother Lu disappeared. Tao Zhen thought he had left the capital quietly, but when Pei Zhan went to see the situation, he felt that was not the case.

Brother Lu didn't pack up his things. He either left in a hurry, or was taken away in a hurry, or...

Either way it's not a good situation.

He didn't tell Tao Zhen about this, fearing that she would worry.

During the spring plowing, the queen organized a blessing ceremony to pray for good weather this year. This was the emperor's first spring plowing blessing since he ascended the throne.The queen attaches great importance to it. The nobles in the palace will go out of the palace and randomly select a field. The men sow and cultivate while the women weave and embroider.

In Tao Zhen's opinion, it is nothing more than a pastime for the upper class. Just like the leaders who go to inspect in modern society, wearing clean leather shoes and walking in the fields, taking photos, and expressing condolences to the farmers who are facing the loess and back to the sky is a way to experience the sentiments of the people. After returning home, the newspapers and news will praise the leaders. As for the farmers, who cares? They have to farm the land when they have to, break their sweat into eight petals, and continue to live their lives.

She really, really didn't want to have anything to do with these people in the palace. Unfortunately, if she didn't want to, there would always be someone to let her do it.

This year they chose several plots of land around the capital, all of which belonged to ordinary farmers. However, because Tao Zhen had a farm, the queen discussed with her that they should go to her farm to have a rest on the way back to the city, and take a look at the strawberries and watermelons. How to grow it.

Tao Zhen had no choice but to agree to the Queen's modest request.

So for the next time, she was preparing how to receive these nobles. The father-in-law from the palace's internal affairs office was also there to ensure that the nobles would not be neglected that day, and there were also guards coming to inspect.

Sun Feihang was a little nervous when he saw this scene. After all, he was a fugitive who was afraid of crime and absconded. Tao Zhen also took this into consideration and asked him and Wu Yong to hide while she and Lin Shu took care of the rest.

Finally ready, Tao Zhen was very irritable. He didn't know what these noble people were doing, just like the leaders who came to inspect in elementary school. Every time they came, there was no benefit. They had to clean up in advance. It was better not to come to inspect at all. Everyone should be purer towards each other.

Of course, only Tao Zhen had this idea, while the others were very nervous and excited.

Those were the emperor and the empress. They would be able to see the emperor and empress for the rest of their lives, and they would brag to their ancestors after their death. They were all prepared to welcome the people in the palace.

Tao Zhen "..."

Okay, just be happy.

Tao Zhen thought that the emperor was just fooling him, but he didn't expect that he actually went to the fields to plow the fields. The emperor changed into a farmer's short shirt, his hair stood up, and worked in the fields. The princes in the imperial city had all left the capital, and only When the sixth prince came back, he worked with the emperor. He gave up before walking around, patted the dirt on his body and sat under the shade of a tree on the edge of the field.

Because of the bad reputation of His Highness the Sixth Prince, the emperor's concubines and several accompanying ladies took the initiative to stay away from him.

Tao Zhen also wanted to leave him, but the sixth prince's eyes were like scanning lights when he saw her, and he greeted her very familiarly.Tao Zhen "..."

In fact, it’s perfectly okay to pretend not to be familiar with it.

Tao Zhen laughed dryly.

Wei Qingluan puffed up her belly and said with a smile: "Mrs. Pei knows Prince Qi?"

Tao Zhen smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking that if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute.

"I've seen him." Tao Zhen obviously didn't want to continue this topic, but Wei Qingluan refused: "His Royal Highness King Qi has been away from the capital, and this is the first time I have seen him. When did Mrs. Pei see him?"

Tao Zhen said, "I've met you before, but I can't remember when I met you. But she looks familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere. I heard that she came to the capital not long ago and entered the palace, so I think so." I saw it wrong."

Wei Qingluan's face was a little gloomy, and he stared at Tao Zhen. Tao Zhen was suspicious: "Your Majesty, your face is not good. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask Pei Yuan to come over and take a look?"

Only then did Wei Qingluan remember what Pei Zhan did. She just felt unhappy with Tao Zhen and impulsively criticized her. But when Tao Zhen moved Pei Zhan out, she felt a little regretful.

The queen glanced at Wei Qingluan calmly: "Ning Bin is pregnant, so it's better to go in and rest for a while to avoid fetal movement."

Of course Wei Qingluan didn't want to. The time she had in contact with the emperor was limited. Although the emperor was kind to her and gave her the best things, if he didn't come to see her, she would be pregnant and her temperament would inevitably change. This time, she prayed and followed her. I came here just to meet the emperor and spend more time with him.

Now that the emperor is still working in the fields, where can she go back?

The queen glanced at her with a sneer and said nothing more.

But if she didn't say anything, the other concubines would have something to say, and they would all talk against Wei Qingluan, and Wei Qingluan was naturally not to be outdone.

A group of people were chattering. Tao Zhen found it interesting at first, but then became a little irritated. She said something to the queen and left.

The weather today was good, not too hot. Several clan members were also working in the fields, but soon they collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone couldn't bear it and hid in the shade. Only the emperor followed a few farmers to sow seeds over and over again.

Everyone gradually stopped talking, and those who had rested enough joined in again.

Tao Zhen watched for a while, looking for Pei Zhan, and found him sweating profusely in the field on the other side.
Tao Zhen “…”

You are an imperial physician, what kind of loyalty do you show?
The only time Pei Zhan went to the fields was in the vegetable garden behind the house in Yanbei, but that was completely different from this.

Why are you working so hard? Just be a stupid boy.

"Pei Zhan!"

Tao Zhen felt a little distressed, the emperor's targeting was too obvious.
