After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 43
Yuan Miaoyi was startled, and then pushed the window open so that Nanguan could jump down.

"Is the young Marquis looking for me?" When Yuan Miaoyi was practicing calligraphy, Aunt Cui and the others would not usually come in and disturb her, so Yuan Miaoyi let Nanguan in with peace of mind.

Nanguan took out the tea leaves wrapped in layers from his arms and handed them to her: "This is the purple bamboo shoot of Gu Zhu, who is newly promoted this year. Mr. Hou Xin got it from the palace."

Yuan Miaoyi was a little dumbfounded. She thought Nanguan had sneaked into the Marquis's residence to find her for some urgent matter, but she didn't expect that he was just here to deliver tea to her.

It's no secret that she loves drinking Gu Zhu Zisun. You can find out by just asking around.

Every year, Yuan Lingheng collects Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots from Zhuangzi and sends them to the Marquis Mansion. This makes the shopkeepers of several trading houses look for some good tea first if they want to ask for help.

Nanguan delivered the things and felt that the task had been completed, so he left.

Yuan Miaoyi never liked being in debt to others, but since she met Xiao Yunyue, she has owed him a lot of favors one by one.

Although she had saved him in Futian Village first, Yuan Miaoyi felt that she had already paid off when Xiao Yunyue mentioned Yuan Lingheng to the emperor later.

After all, when she rescued Xiao Yunyue, she did have the intention of paving the way for Yuan Lingheng.

Later at the Hua Chao Festival Lantern Festival, Xiao Yunyue blocked the fallen lamp stand for him.He extended his hand outside Jiyun Temple, and later sent people to track down the mysterious old man in Shu on her behalf.

Although she knew that this kind of thing was because Xiao Yunyue liked her, it was difficult for Yuan Miaoyi to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Seeing that Nanguan was about to leave, Yuan Miaoyi quickly stopped him: "Sir, please wait."

Then he took out a bag of tea that was also wrapped in the cupboard: "I don't know what the young prince likes to drink. This is the tea I made myself a few days ago. Please help me bring it to you."

A few days ago, the orchid grass that Yuan Miaoyi raised began to bloom one after another, so Yuan Miaoyi took some and mixed it with green tea.She tasted it herself and thought it tasted good, so she asked someone to send some to Yuan Lingheng.

Yesterday Yuan Lingheng wrote a letter saying that the tea tastes good. If there is still more, I will send more.

Although I don't know what Xiao Yunyue's taste is, at least it is her intention.

Nanguan nodded, put away his things, and then jumped out of the window. In the blink of an eye, no one was in sight.

Yuan Miaoyi closed the window and turned around to see the tea leaves on the table.She sighed and put away the bag of Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots.

Here, Xiao Yunyue had just returned home after discussing the border issues with Ding Guogong, when Nanguan fell in front of him from the eaves.

Xiao Yunyue was already used to Nanguan not going through the main entrance. When he saw this, he just asked him: "Have you delivered the things?"

Nanguan nodded: "The crown prince's share hasn't been sent yet. Do you think we'll let our firm take it to Runzhou?"

Xiao Yunyue thought of the conversation he had just had with his father and frowned: "Let's leave it alone for now. I guess Ziyu will have to change places again soon."

Nanguan nodded and handed the bag of tea that Yuan Miaoyi gave him to Xiao Yunyue: "This is the tea made by Mrs. Yuan Er herself. She asked me to give it to you."

Hearing the name of his sweetheart, Xiao Yunyue relaxed his brows and reached out to take the paper bag.

Through the oiled paper, Xiao Yunyue could also smell the aroma of orchid in the paper bag, which was very similar to the aroma on Yuan Miaoyi's body.

He remembered that he heard Yuan Lingheng accidentally mention during a chat that his sister liked to grow flowers and plants, especially orchids, so he asked Nanguan: "Do we have a business in southern Yunnan?"

Nanguan was a little confused, but he still said: "Yes." Xiao Yunyue then said: "Let them find a way to get me some pots of orchid. Don't use the ones that are common here in Shengjing. The rarer the better."

After hearing this, Nanguan knew who it was for. He said yes, then turned around and went out.

On the second day, after the morning meeting, several decrees were issued in the palace.The most eye-catching thing is the canonization of the fourth prince Yan Xuanche as the King of Chu, and the canonization of the fourth prince's concubine as the Princess of Chu on the same day.

Yan Xuanche also became the first prince among the princes to be canonized as a prince.

There was a lot of discussion in Shengjing for a while. It seemed that the incident a few days ago did not affect His Highness the King of Chu.Among all the princes, the emperor really loved this son the most.

Compared with this incident, the subsequent tightening of border markets, the addition of several items that were not allowed to be changed, and the transfer of officials in several states were not so eye-catching.

After all, Bianshi was originally a new policy implemented after Emperor Jingyuan ascended the throne and expelled Rouran, and there were some changes from time to time.As for the transfer of officials, it is even more commonplace and nothing worthy of attention.

Except for a few well-informed ministers and some people with a keen sense of smell, almost no one in the capital paid attention to the following decrees.

When Yuan Miaoyi heard the news, she was playing chess with herself.

She was an excellent chess player, but no one in the Yuan family talked to her except Yuan Lingheng, so she often looked for chess records to entertain herself.

Yuan Miaoyi was not surprised by the news that Yan Xuanche was crowned king. After all, there were rumors about this matter at the beginning of the year.What's more, she had known that what happened a few days ago would not be able to shake Yan Xuanche's position in the emperor's heart.

What she was more concerned about was the emperor's subsequent decrees.

Yuan Miaoyi's uncle had implemented the New Deal in Jingzhou for several years, so she was familiar with the border market.

In the border market, except for the transportation of copper and iron to the grassland, other things such as salt and tea are not strictly prohibited.

But this time the new decree not only tightened the quota of salt and tea, but also stipulated the quantity of silk.

Yuan Lingheng also received the order and was transferred from Runzhou to Jizhou. Although his position remained unchanged, the emperor ordered him to concurrently serve as the city magistrate.

Yuan Miaoyi played with the chess pieces made of warm jade in her hands. Although her eyes were looking at the chessboard, she kept thinking about these decrees in her heart.

Jingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou are the important border areas of Dayan, facing directly the barbarians outside the pass.We have always been like-minded, sharing prosperity and loss.In the edict issued this time, there were changes in all three places.

Since Yanbei expelled Rouran, except for the promotion of the governor of Jingzhou to the capital, there have been no official transfers in the remaining two places.

Recalling that not long ago, the emperor transferred the former Beiding Jiedu envoy back to Shengjing, granted Cheng Xingbo the title, and allowed him to be raised in the capital, Yuan Miaoyi had a guess in his mind.

I'm afraid the border is not peaceful again.

Beiding Jiedushi was in charge of Jizhou and Shanzhou's border troops.

Cheng Xingbo, the former governor of Beiding Jiedu, was old and was no longer able to do anything in the army.As for the new one who took office, I heard that he was originally transferred from the Youzhou Army and had made great achievements many times.

Based on various inferences, Yuan Miaoyi can almost conclude at this time that there may be another war at the border at the latest in late autumn or as early as late summer.

Just when she was thinking about whether to write a letter to her brother, Aunt Cui suddenly walked in quickly from outside and said: "Girl, the medical order was urgently summoned in the west hospital in the morning, and the news just came out. It said, Aunt Liu, there is something wrong. Pregnant."

"I know." Yuan Miaoyi responded lightly, and the chess piece in his hand landed steadily on the chessboard.

A chess game has just reached the middle of the game.
