Eldest daughter

Chapter 457
The court hall in June is extremely lively, floods are serious everywhere, disaster relief and flood control are needed everywhere, and resettlement of the victims requires money, and Emperor Jing has only been on the throne for five years, and the treasury can not be called abundant. Boss increased his income by a large amount last year, otherwise, there would be no money for disaster relief.

Even so, Emperor Jing watched the large sums of money flow out of the treasury, and he couldn't help but have a gloomy face, just like Yan Luo.

But at this time, the censor impeached Cui Yuan and others, saying that they were working for nothing with their salaries, and the water was not cured, which caused floods in so many places.

Emperor Jing was on fire, so he smashed the impeachment paper on the head of the censor on the spot, scolding him that he was full and had nothing to do, and asked him to treat another one if he had the ability. , As a result, Emperor Jing put him in prison.

Emperor Jing had a censor attack in the court, so everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the emperor was on fire, and whoever bumped into him would seek death.

At this time, Wang Qing'er entered the Chaoyang Palace to greet the empress, and Pan Heng waited for a long time before leaving.

Not a day later, the empress asked the emperor for advice. Today, there are floods all over the country, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. As the mother of the country, she should set an example by herself. Great joy.

Xingchun offered Wang Qing'er a bowl of red date tea, and asked in puzzlement, "Your Majesty, why did you give this achievement to the empress?"

Wang Qing'er leaned on the pillow, took a sip of tea, and lazily said: "A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Sometimes, it is not a good thing for a person to be too top-notch. Because of the incident in Changle Town, I am already in a state of crisis." We are on the cusp of the crisis, if I take this merit again now, it will do me more harm than good."

Xingchun thought about it for a while, and said with sincere admiration, "Your Majesty is a reassuring one."

Wang Qing'er swept her stomach once and for all, and said, "I don't know if I'm relieved or not. I just think that this child will be born smoothly and live well."

Xingchun was silent.

"I'm really worried about the news about elder sister and brother-in-law. It's been too long." Wang Qing'er pursed her lips, her eyebrows were a little worried, and thinking of the impeachment of the censor surnamed Li, a gleam of coldness flashed in her eyes.

……
Wang Yuan'er started dreaming again, since the flood started, she never went to bed without dreaming.

That person rode his horse from the morning light, and the faint golden light of the morning fell on his body, which was coated with a faint brilliance. With a smile on his face, he jumped off the horse and held out his hand to her: "I'm back."

Suddenly, a huge jet of water charged horizontally, with the momentum of thunder, before his hand could reach hers, it swept him away without a trace.

"no no!"

Wang Yuan'er screamed and waved her hands, turned over and sat up.

"Second Grandma!" Qiutang had just entered the room with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, when she heard the scream, she immediately put down the tray and ran to the bedroom.

But seeing Wang Yuan'er sitting on the bed holding her heart and gasping for breath as if she had lost her soul, her complexion was pale and pale, her forehead was covered with a dense layer of fine sweat, which slid down her cheeks.

At this moment, she was like a ruined rag doll, Qiutang looked worried and called softly, "Second Grandma."

Wang Yuaner shuddered as if shocked, looked at Qiutang, grabbed her hand and asked, "Second Master, is Second Master back? Any news?"

Qiutang looked at her with pity, shook her head, and said softly: "Not yet, grandma has nightmares again?"

Wang Yuan'er lowered her hand like a puppet, and nodded blankly, the ominous premonition in her heart grew bigger and bigger.

"I dreamed about Second Master, dreaming that he was swept away by the water!" Wang Yuan'er said hoarsely.

How could she have such an ominous dream?

Is it like the flood, is it a warning?
Wang Yuan'er felt cold all over, her hands were wrapped around her arms, and her teeth were chattering.

"Grandma is thinking about it every day, and I'm too tired these days. The servant has cooked bird's nest porridge, would you like some?" Qiutang said softly after serving the porridge.

Wang Yuan'er nodded, and let her feed the porridge until the warmth fell into her heart, and she didn't feel so cold anymore.

"Second Grandma, Zhong Wei and his son are in the flower hall to report to Grandma." Xia He came in and bent his knees.

Wang Yuaner shivered, immediately pushed Qiutang's hand away, and said, "Wait for me to change my clothes."

Qiutang and Xia He hurried forward to serve her, waited for her to be familiar, and accompanied her to the flower hall.

Zhong Wei and his son were having tea, when they saw her, they quickly got up and saluted.

Wang Yuan'er waved his hand: "There is no need to be too polite, just tell me what news you have heard."

Zhong Wei said: "The servant heard that the second master went to Yunzhou one after another, and then to Tongzhou. Xiji Town in Tongzhou is surrounded by canals. It is said that one of the exits of the canal lacks an embankment."

Wang Yuan'er sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked, "Then the second master is in Tongzhou now?"

"This, the servant didn't find out." Zhong Wei scratched his head a little awkwardly.

Wang Yuan'er was a little disappointed, looked at Zhong Xiaobao, and asked with a smile: "What about you? What did you find out?"

Zhong Xiaobao tilted his head, and began to describe in detail the places he had been to in the past two days and what he had heard.

"...The slave is squatting at the gate of Honglifang, and I heard that Mr. Yang from Nanyang Hou's family said, whoever let him block the way of others, since he likes to block the road so much, let him go and never return." Zhong Xiaobao Frowning, he said: "Mr. Ma just said that the hands and feet must be clean. Don't lose the ground. The eldest son of the Yang family said that he would rather bully the mountain than the water. How many people who know how to shovel the water died in the water..."

Wang Yuaner's face paled upon hearing this.

Zhong Wei felt that something was wrong, and scolded him in a low voice: "Xiaobao, what are you talking about? What about Mr. Yang, what does it have to do with our second master."

"I first found out that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was originally reserved for Mr. Yang's brother-in-law, the fourth master of the Ding family, so I kept an eye on them and followed them to Honglifang to drink flowers and wine. " Zhong Xiaobao argued.

"The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. You've talked about flowers and wine, and you still haven't apologized to grandma." Zhong Wei's face changed drastically.

"Zhong Wei, you don't need to talk about him. Xiaobao did a great job." Wang Yuan'er waved his hand, blocked Zhong Wei's words, and looked at Zhong Xiaobao gently: "Did you hear it with your own ears? Did they notice you. "

"Of course I heard it with my own ears. I was young, and they didn't recognize me. They thought I was a beggar, and I even came forward to ask for money!" Zhong Xiaobao said proudly.

Zhong Wei glared at him, and said timidly: "Grandma, maybe these words are not aimed at Second Master."
After hearing this, Zhong Xiaobao felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and looked at Wang Yuan'er uneasily.

Wang Yuan'er smiled and said: "You are very right. After hearing what you said, you just have to rot in your heart. I know it well."

Zhong Wei quickly responded, Zhong Xiaobao also nodded, took out the green purse again, and said: "Grandma, the servant only spent two taels of silver, and there are eight taels left." "You still have it, go outside to listen to the news, Until the second master comes back." Wang Yuan'er said with a smile: "However, you have to hide it well, so that no one will find out that you are from the Cui family!"

"Hey, I'll save it for a slave." Zhong Xiaobao smiled.
"You guys go down first, go and call your grandma." Wang Yuan'er smiled and ordered.

The two retreated in response, and Wang Yuaner's face immediately sank.

"Grandma, is Second Master in danger?" Qiutang asked with a pale face.

Wang Yuan'er glanced at her, and said: "There is no shadow or evidence for this matter, don't talk nonsense, Lord, you will be fine, and you must come back in full."

These words, rather than comforting Qiutang, might as well comfort himself.
Qiutang's face became serious.

Grandma Zhong came in, Wang Yuan'er was silent, pointed her to sit down, and asked: "Mommy, you are also an old man in this mansion, are you familiar with Mr. Yang from the Nanyang Marquis Mansion? And the Nading family."

Grandma Zhong thought for a moment, and said: "This Young Master Yang married the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xinyang, and his sister-in-law, the third daughter of the Marquis of Xinyang, was sent to the palace, which is now Mrs. Jing, Mr. Yang's elder sister married the fourth master of the Ding family, and the uncle of the Ding family seemed to have a relationship with the current concubine, and then married the emperor as a side concubine for some reason..."

Wang Yuan'er's eyebrows were twisted into the word Chuan, Nanyang Hou's Mansion, Xinyang Hou's Mansion, Ding's House, and finally Concubine De.

The Ding family is related to the Marquis of Nanyang, the Marquis of Nanyang is related to the Marquis of Xinyang, and the Ding family has an old relationship with Concubine De, that is, the Lu family.

The roots are connected to the branches, and the branches are connected to the leaves. This series of connections, this Nanyang Marquis Mansion is also the line of Concubine De.So, the quiet and noble person who doesn't show the mountains or the water is also a descendant of the concubine De?

Cui Yuan said that the emperor didn't want the Ministry of Industry to be captured by Concubine De's people. Could it be that what Zhong Xiaobao heard was true?
He didn't write because he was involved in this palace dispute, was he framed?
Then the dream I had, could it be...

"Grandma..." Nanny Zhong called out twice.

Wang Yuan'er came to her senses in a daze, and said, "It's all right, let's go down, mammy."

Nanny Zhong bent her knees and agreed, and Qiutang went out with her. Nanny Zhong lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Qiutang, I think grandma's complexion is not very good. Look, do you want to invite a doctor?"

Qiutang was also a little worried, and whispered a few words in her ear. Nanny Zhong was startled, and said for a while, "Then please look at it, grandma, you are really lucky!"

Wang Yuan'er was lying on the couch in a daze, her mind was in a mess, why didn't she write to her, was it because of something happened, or was there something she wanted to avoid?
If something happened to him, as Zhong Xiaobao had heard, it was nothing new to lose his life in such a flood, and it was very convenient for others to do things.

Wang Yuan'er suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, with a dignified expression.

"Grandma..." Qiutang ran in with a pale face, pointing at the door with one hand, her lips trembling so that she couldn't speak.

Wang Yuan'er suffocated for breath, and looked towards the door, where Chen Shu appeared in a mess.

She stood up immediately.
"Second Mistress, Grandpa, she was washed away by the water, and I don't know if she is alive or dead." Chen Shu knelt down on the ground, crying.

Life and death do not know!

Wang Yuaner swayed and fell straight backwards.
