Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1083 Yes, Emperor Yuan Zhen is afraid
"Girl, it's bad!"

On this day, Ah Liu appeared in Bai Mingwei's house.

There was a strong smell on his body, as if he had been caught in a heavy rain and didn't have time to change his clothes. His body temperature dried the clothes, but left a strong stench.

When Bai Mingwei heard the words, his hands shook slightly, but he quickly calmed down: "But something happened in Jiangbei?"

Ah Liu said hurriedly: "When my subordinates and Lord Ling arrived at Jiangbei, it had been raining heavily for five consecutive days."

"Flash floods and heavy rains poured into the farmland, and all the rice ears were soaked by the rain. Now even if the dams are not destroyed, the endless farmland in Jiangbei will not be harvested."

"Lord Ling is staying in Jiangbei to prevent the dam from being destroyed and harming the people downstream. My subordinates are fast on their feet and will rush back to tell the girl the news."

Bai Mingwei, who was originally calm, fell into a deathly silence after hearing the news.

She was silent for a long time, and then she spoke in a hoarse voice: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters. Not long after this military disaster stopped, another natural disaster hit Dongling."

"Jiangbei is an extremely important food producing area. If there is no harvest in this field, how many people will starve to death in the coming winter?"

"Not only that, but without the tax revenue brought by this land, hundreds of thousands of people in the border areas will not have enough food to survive the winter."

Ah Liu's voice was also particularly heavy: "Girl, the country is about to perish and visions occur frequently. I'm afraid Dongling's strength is coming to an end."

Bai Mingwei did not respond to Ah Liu's words, and immediately issued an order: "Ah Liu, I want you to ensure that every envelope from Jiangbei reaches the capital smoothly."

"I will give you the right to mobilize the secret guards who are drunk today. You can mobilize as many people as you need. If any official knows and refuses to report, or if someone intercepts Jiangbei Zhezi, you must tell me."

Ah Liu took the order and went down.

Bai Mingwei leaned back, with a sad look on his face.

Years of war have long emptied Dongling's treasury.

There is no food stored in the granary either.

The imperial court was simply unable to provide relief for this disaster.

We need to plan quickly.

Otherwise, countless people will not survive the winter.

However, at this time, she became calmer.

Since receiving the news, she has done nothing except telling Ah Liu to do things.

……

At the same time, Xiao Chongyuan and Emperor Yuan Zhen met in the Imperial Garden.

The garden was heavily guarded, but only the prince was waiting on them.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was extremely polite to Xiao Chongyuan, and his words revealed his intention to become Xiao Chongyuan's father-in-law:
"My princess Lingyi is proficient in tea ceremony. How about letting her make tea for the regent?"

Xiao Chongyuan did not refuse: "Princess Lingyi makes tea herself, which is quite interesting."

Emperor Yuan Zhen heard Xiao Chongyuan's words and immediately gave the prince a wink.

The prince immediately ordered the young chamberlain to go and invite Princess Lingyi.

Not long after, just as Xiao Chongyuan and Emperor Yuan Zhen were exchanging greetings, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly blew over them.

The fragrance was mixed with a faint medicinal smell.

The strong smell of powder mixed with the smell of medicine, the resulting smell is really pungent and nauseating.

As soon as Xiao Chongyuan heard about it, he knew that the rotten-faced Princess Lingyi was here.

Sure enough, the next moment the soft voice of the oriole came out of the valley: "I've met my father, I've met the regent."

Emperor Yuan Zhen glanced at his daughter.

I saw Princess Lingyi wearing a thick veil, her whole head covered with only a pair of eyes exposed.

He looked a little unhappy: "What's going on with this look?"

Princess Lingyi explained: "Father, Lingyi is embarrassed to see her foreign husband, so please forgive me."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's purpose was not to let Xiao Chongyuan see how beautiful his daughter was. After all, Xiao Chongyuan was blind.

So he stopped caring and said: "Lingyi, you are proficient in tea ceremony, so I called you to cook tea for me and the regent."

Princess Lingyi responded respectfully: "I am honored to do so."

After saying that, the palace servant brought the tea set.Princess Lingyi naturally understood what her father meant, so she showed off her superb tea-making skills.

Not long after, the fragrance of tea filled the imperial garden.

Princess Lingyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Chongyuan. The coquettishness in her voice made people tremble in their bones: "Prince Regent, please use the tea."

The tea soup is clear yellow in color and overflowing with fragrance.

Xiao Chongyuan didn't need to look at it to know that this tea was excellent.

So he took it in his hand and said, "Thank you very much."

Princess Lingyi's eyes could overflow with water in an instant.

When Emperor Yuan Zhen saw this, he thought there was something going on between the two of them, and he smiled very happily.

This may be the first time in recent times that he has been overjoyed.

But Xiao Chongyuan's next words dashed his hopes to death on the beach.

But Xiao Chongyuan did not drink the tea, but put the tea cup on the table.

He said: "The king is here today for the important matter of my life."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was so excited that Princess Yi clenched her sleeves.

Xiao Chongyuan continued: "I like women who are capable. When the news came that General Zhenbei led his troops to recover the five cities in the northern border of Dongling and captured Moon City, I paid attention to her."

"Coupled with these days of getting along, I have a deep love for General Zhenbei, and it has reached the point where I can't let go. Therefore, I sincerely propose to your majesty to marry General Zhenbei as my wife, and I also ask for your permission."

When Princess Lingyi heard this, she clenched her fists tightly.

Those eyes were filled with tears of humiliation.

The smile on Emperor Yuan Zhen's face disappeared: "Prince Regent, what do you mean?"

Xiao Chongyuan raised his lips: "Is this king still unclear?"

Emperor Yuan Zhen leaned back and showed an impatient look: "Prince Regent, you will understand my hint just now."

"Since the regent has no intention, why did he still agree to my princess making tea for you? You accepted the princess's tea, but you have no intention of the princess. Where did you put my princess?"

Xiao Chongyuan sneered: "Didn't His Majesty make this proposal himself? I still think that this is your Dongling hospitality etiquette."

"As the regent of Western Chu, I asked Princess Dongling to make tea and serve her. Do you feel wronged by her?"

Princess Lingyi was so angry that she trembled all over and looked at her father aggrievedly.

However, Emperor Yuan Zhen did not continue to speak for his daughter.

But as soon as the conversation changed, the topic returned to Xiao Chongyuan's request for marriage: "Prince Regent, I can't take back my life easily."

"Since Bai Mingwei has promised Yuan Xun, the matter is finalized and cannot be changed. I hope the regent can be considerate."

Xiao Chongyuan put his hand on the tea cup: "Why should I understand your difficulties? This is a notice, not a discussion."

"It's best if you wish, then everyone will be happy. If you don't wish, I will kill Yuan Xun. If he dies, the marriage will naturally fall through."

Emperor Yuan Zhen asked: "For a woman, would the regent not hesitate to offend Bei Yan?"

Xiao Chongyuan asked, "Why did I offend Bei Yan? Yuan Xun is not the son of Emperor Bei Yan. So why did Bei Yan go against me for Yuan Xun? Against Xi Chu?"

"Persimmons are picky. If Beiyan becomes angry and insists on seeking justice for Yuan Xun, and Yuan Xun died in Dongling, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to find Dongling?"

"Liu Hong, if I can still come to see you now, it means there is some discussion. If you persist in your stubbornness, I don't mind sharing the barren meat of Dongling with Bei Yan."

After saying that, Xiao Chongyuan stood up, put his hands behind his back and left.

The moment he turned around, the tea cup turned into powder.

The tea soup mixed with glutinous rice flour instantly flowed all over the table.

Emperor Yuan Zhen and his daughter looked at his back, trembling all over.

One is angry, but the other is afraid.

That's right, Emperor Yuan Zhen was afraid.
