Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 353 Disobedience
The King of Liao thought he had tricked Yun Hao, but he didn't expect that the emperor was looking for Yun Hao not because of water sources, but because he wanted to transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River.

The surrounding areas of the capital were hit by disasters, and no grain was harvested. The disaster was even more serious than the last time. The imperial court had to transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River to alleviate the food shortage in the capital.

However, the river dried up and became impassable, making transporting grain and grass a huge problem.

Taking the dry road will consume exponentially more manpower and material resources.

But this food had to go. The emperor thought about it and decided to send his most trusted Yun Hao to the south of the Yangtze River to transport food. "Jingyao, I have decided to send you to the south of the Yangtze River to transport food to relieve the food shortage in Beijing."

When Yun Hao heard that he was going to the south of the Yangtze River, he immediately declined, "The birth of Clumsy Thorn is imminent and I can't leave. Please ask your Majesty to send another capable person."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said, "Your wife is giving birth. I will send the imperial doctor and Wen Po to take care of her. You only need to go to Jiangnan to transport grain without worries."

"Your Majesty, this is Zhuojing's first child. If I don't stay by her side, she will feel uneasy. I really can't rest assured. Please be considerate of my difficulties and choose another person." Yun Hao spoke firmly, without flinching. .

"A man who is a dignified man and is already a third-rank official in the court, how can he be so affectionate as a son and daughter?" the emperor reprimanded him with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, there are many capable ministers in the court, and I am not the only one who can take on this important task. I sincerely request your Majesty to select other talents to relieve the shortage of food in the capital." Yun Hao made up his mind not to go, even if the emperor demoted him.

The emperor sighed. He knew that Yun Hao's worries were not unreasonable, and he could not ignore Yun Hao's personal affairs. "That's all, you get up. I understand your difficulties, and I will no longer force you. I will send another Others went to Jiangnan to transport grain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise." Yun Hao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.

"Please resign." The emperor waved his hand.

Yun Hao stood up, saluted, and retreated.

Then, the chamberlain came in and obeyed the emperor's order to summon another minister to come and see him.

Yun Hao left the palace and hurried back to the mansion. When he saw Zhao Wangshu taking a nap on the recliner, he showed a gentle smile, walked over, squatted down beside her, and gently touched her bulging belly.

Zhao Wangshu was awakened by his movements, opened his eyes and saw his gentle smiling face, and smiled: "You're back."

"You have been feeling sleepy recently. Please ask the imperial doctor to come into the house and take a look." Yun Hao said with concern.

"It's like this in the later stages of pregnancy. I asked the imperial doctor." Zhao Wangshu handed him his hand, "Help me up."

Yun Hao carefully lifted Zhao Wangshu up and asked her to sit upright. He then took the small brocade stool on the side and sat next to her. "Is the child good today?"

"You're very good, you didn't make a fuss, oh, this brat can't stand praise." Zhao Wangshu took a breath.

She was almost certain that there was a boy in her belly. He was kicked so hard that it hurt her stomach.

"You bastard, be good. Don't kick your mother. If you don't obey me, I'll spank you when you are born." Yun Hao touched her belly and said seriously.

"Don't hit my son." Zhao Wangshu immediately protected him.

Yun Hao couldn't laugh or cry, "Madam, a loving mother often loses her son."

"You mean I can't educate my son well?" Zhao Wangshu glared at him, "Meng's mother moved three times, and her mother-in-law got tattoos. The key to educating a child well is the mother. Are you questioning my ability?"

Yun Hao waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't dare, don't dare, my wife is wise, brave and capable, so she can teach children well."

Zhao Wangshu then snorted with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to touch his belly, "Son, did you hear that your father praised me? We two have to live up to each other, and we can't let your father look down upon us." "I have never looked down on you, Madam. ." Yun Hao laughed.

The couple chatted for a while, and then it was time for dinner. After dinner, they went for a walk as usual, but Zhao Wangshu had a big belly and his body became heavier. After walking not far, he said: "I'm so tired, I don't want to leave." ”

"I'll carry you back." Yun Hao hugged Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu put his arms around his neck and said, "You have to hold me firmly. If you throw me, you will be in trouble."

Yun Hao smiled, hugged Zhao Wangshu tighter, and walked steadily towards his residence.

Two days later, Yao Shanzhi came to visit Zhao Wangshu with a large basket of water chestnuts, "Yue'er, you are really married to a good man."

"Why did you suddenly express such emotion?" Zhao Wangshu asked in confusion.

"You don't know?" Yao Shanzhi asked in surprise.

"What do you know?" Zhao Wangshu frowned, "Stop playing riddles and speak quickly."

"Your Majesty wanted your Lord Yun to go to the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain, but your Lord Yun refused and said he wanted to accompany you." Yao Shanzhi said simply.

"Really?" Zhao Wangshu looked worried.

"Don't worry, His Majesty did not blame him. You are pregnant and need Mr. Yun to accompany you. You should not have arranged for him to go out on errands." Yao Shanzhi appreciated Yun Hao's move.

"However, His Majesty asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain. He must have valued his ability. If he refused, would it affect his future?" Although Zhao Wangshu was happy that Yun Hao could stay with him, he was worried that Yun Hao would anger the emperor. .

Yao Shanzhi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, His Majesty is a wise king and will not blame Mr. Yun for such a trivial matter. Moreover, although Mr. Yun refused this mission, his usual performance and political achievements , Your Majesty sees it all. As long as he does good things, he will have a bright future. "

After hearing Yao Shan Zhi's words, Zhao Wangshu's uneasiness completely dissipated. She smiled softly: "Gardenia, thank you for telling me this."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Yao Shanzhi took Zhao Wangshu's hand, "What's delicious today?"

"Bring the water chestnuts, let the cook make a stir-fried meat with water chestnuts." Zhao Wangshu suggested with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Yao Shanzhi nodded in agreement.

The two chatted wildly, and at noon, the maid brought in the dishes.

The fried meat with water chestnuts exudes an alluring aroma that makes people salivate.

The combination of the glutinous texture of the water chestnuts and the deliciousness of the pork belly made Yao Shanzhi eat it and praised it profusely, "This dish is so delicious. I have never thought that water chestnuts can be fried and eaten like this."

"This is Jiangnan stir-fry." Zhao Wangshu held the cup and drank some water. The weather was hot and she always felt thirsty.

"It would be great if I had the chance to go to Jiangnan." Yao Shanzhi has eaten several dishes from Jiangnan, and they all tasted very good, which made her yearn for Jiangnan even more.

"There is a chance." Zhao Wangshu smiled sweetly when he remembered that Yun Hao had promised to take her to Jiangnan.

Yao Shanzhi stayed in Yun Mansion until the beginning of the Youshi period before leaving. When she left, she took a box of water chestnut cakes with her. She smiled and said, "I originally brought water chestnuts for you to eat, but I brought back so many."

"I received your message." Zhao Wangshu smiled and motioned to Luzhi to send her out.
