Lady Changning

Chapter 78 Prediction (2)

He Lianbao looked angrily at Zimu who gave her the same answer.

"You didn't lie to me?" He Lianbao threatened, although she was not Zimu's opponent at all.

"No." Zimu didn't even raise his head.

"I don't believe it. You actually told me that you guessed it. You really think I'm a kid."

Still not looking up?It's really a big ice cube that Xi Changning can handle.

"Zimu, let me tell you, I am the lord of the barbarian, and you are also a barbarian, so I order you to tell me!" He Lianbao said with his hands on his hips.

"I only listen to her." Only Xi Changning said.

He Lianbao stomped his feet in anger, and ran out on his own after stomping, not bothering to talk about each ice cube.

The whole city was in panic because of the flood in the north of the Yangtze River, and the ministers were also frowning.All kinds of strategies are also offered, but it is hard to implement.

Now that there is a shortage of food in Jiangbei, the money for disaster relief will be lost if it is spread, because those merchants who have food at hand are extremely cunning, but fortunately there is Xuanjia, they really deserve to be called "the granary of the world"

It's just that distant water can't save nearby fire, not to mention that the Xuan family is still doing disaster relief, and the amount allocated to the court is already the upper limit.A talkative businessman once said that before the flood, a barbarian bought grain on a large scale.

All of a sudden, the signs of the court all pointed to the barbarian who bought grain.

"Do you have any ideas, dear ones?" The emperor asked

"Your Majesty, now we need to find out who this barbarian is. I heard that Hucheng Zifu is the biggest barbarian leader in the capital, and I think it is very likely that it is him." A minister in the court told what he had heard.

"I have also heard of Hucheng Zifu, but the young master of this Zifu is very cold. He does whatever he wants and never pays attention to others. It may be even more difficult to persuade him." Another minister Tell the truth.

None of the ministers in the court had ever met Young Master Zimu of the Purple Mansion in Hucheng, so no one could say anything about this errand, so they could only shake their heads in the end.

"Could it be that no one in my court can persuade him?" The emperor Longyan was furious.

The people below were trembling, and in the end they didn't know who stood up and told Prime Minister Xi to go.

Xi Jian frowned, this barbarian was made so mysterious by the people below, if it was really that easy to deal with, he would not be looking for him, and the people below who like to be competitive would not all go on their own.But because of face, he could only agree.

"Prime Minister Xi, I will leave this important task to you." The emperor's words were settled with a hammer.

If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not, you will be punished heavily.

The next day Xi Jian took his troops to Hucheng, but who knew that Master Zimu from the Zifu in Hucheng was not there.He answered like this for several days in a row, thinking that he is a dignified prime minister, if he was not afraid of messing up this matter, he would not let a barbarian act wildly in front of him.

Prime Minister
Xi Jian rushed into the hall angrily, and when he went there today, no one was there, so he knew that Zimu was playing tricks on him because he was not at home.

Seeing this, the eldest lady at the side stepped forward to comfort her, but Xi Jian was furious, catching anyone who displeased her, let alone the eldest lady who had disliked her earlier.

"Didn't you keep saying that your natal family is powerful, what about now? You're talking about why your natal family doesn't stand up in this situation?"

One sentence left the eldest lady speechless, because of the flood outside, there were piles of refugees, and even riots were caused, but the queen mother ordered the people in the court not to push forward at this time, and she knew why.

Xi Jian dared to say Da Furen so clearly because the Empress Dowager told those people not to come out, but let them mention his name on the emperor, not to punish the Da Furen, but also to warn him that without the Empress Dowager, he would Then nothing.

He was angry just thinking about what the queen mother did, so it was understandable to vent his anger on the eldest lady.

"Master, the concubine has retired." The eldest lady knew that she was unreasonable, so she didn't say much.

Xi Jian ignored the lady and drank the tea prepared by the maid on the table, brought it to her mouth and scalded her mouth again, angrily threw the cup on the hand, the maid was too frightened to say anything One sentence.

Xi Jian didn't want to live under the empress dowager's oppression. The empress dowager had indeed paved the way for his official career, but now that he is at his age, if he followed her temperament, he might not be able to help himself.

Tayue Pavilion

It was raining again, I really hated the rainy weather, Xi Changning showed a pair of big innocent eyes under the quilt.He Lianbao and Mingyu were massaging Xi Changning with one leg.The speed of other things in Tayue Pavilion is not bad, but this medicated oil is really good, and it will be gone in a blink of an eye, especially after it has been raining for more than a month.

"Why don't you let Zimu see Master?" As soon as He Lianbao returned to Hucheng, he heard the people in Hucheng say that there is an old man who wants to see Young Master Zimu every day, but Young Master Zimu would rather face the account book than have the heart meeting.

As soon as He Lianbao heard about it, he knew that Xi Changning must have asked Zimu to do this, but he couldn't figure out why.

"That's right, miss, you asked Master Zimu to help the master, so that everyone will be grateful to Hu Cheng." Mingyu said the most simple truth.

Xi Changning was very comfortable after being massaged, so he listened to the two of them talking on his mind.

"It's all good, but I have a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

As soon as He Lianbao saw the innocent light flashing in Xi Changning's eyes, he knew what Xi Changning was planning again. Except for his innocent appearance, nothing about Xi Changning matched this word, especially his heart.

"Just try your best, and you're not afraid that your father will lead the army to tear down the gate of Hucheng?" At any rate, it's Xiangye, with such indifference, after a long time, he will always get mad.

"If my father wanted to be condemned by the emperor, he would have demolished the city gate long ago, how could it be your turn to speak out?" Xi Changning wrapped the quilt tightly, even though it was summer, but his whole body was cold because of the rainy weather.

"It's just that Zimu's big ice cube listens to you. If Xiangye is not happy and dies, the emperor might want to trouble Zimu." He Lianbao said his psychological words.

"Wait a little longer, my father's patience is running out, and there will naturally be a chance when the time comes."

It's just that before Xi Jian was defeated, Xi Lin, the entrusted person, came first, but it was not Xi Jian but the prince who entrusted him.

"Changning, I didn't understand this matter, but the prince must have a reason for asking me to find you."

Xi Lin really didn't understand why he was asked to come to Xi Changning when so many ministers in the court could not think of a solution?Although he knew in his heart that Chang Ning was smart, but this was something that big men were worried about. If a young girl thought about it, what was there to think about?

"Hey! I will be teased to death by the prince sooner or later!" She was certain that she would make a move, but she showed up when she was forcing Xi Jian.

Could it be that the prince wants to reap the benefits?Forget it, being able to stabilize the prince is also good for the selection of concubines.

"Changning, do you really have a solution?" Xi Lin asked in surprise.

"Brother, why do you think the prince asked you to come? But I have to wait." Xi Changning didn't care about Xi Lin's surprise.

"What are you waiting for? Changning, don't try to fool me, so I can have an explanation." Xi Lin was also a little curious.

"I have a way to get Hucheng Zimu to come forward, but now this matter is brought forward by my father, and I have no reason to come forward."

After hearing Xi Changning's reason, Xi Lin sighed in his heart, maybe his father really paid too little attention to Xi Changning, Xi Changning was angry, this time he had the opportunity, Xi Changning would not waste the opportunity, this is to let Xi Jian do it himself Ask Xi Changning for help.

"If you really have a way, tell me what I can do? Those refugees are the ones you dragged on and suffered so much."

"Brother doesn't know, the refugees were driven out of the city by the officials of the capital city, and they were taken in by the Zifu in Hucheng. Who is delaying it?" Xi Changning calmly told the truth.

These days, people don't want to kill the world for themselves, and officials don't dare to stand up until there is a disaster. Naturally, the refugees are the ones who suffer, so it's hard to say who is delaying.

"I will report this matter to the prince truthfully." Xi Lin finally knew why the prince asked him to come to Xi Changning.

He himself felt that his abilities were far inferior to Xi Changning's.

When Xi Lin was about to leave, he followed his eyes and never raised his head to look at He Lianbao. This girl hadn't looked at him for a long time. Could it be that she was still complaining about the old lady?
It wasn't until Xi Lin left that He Lianbao lifted his buried head, alas, it really made her feel awkward. It was fine, but the eldest lady had to intervene, and now it made her feel so awkward.Seeing Xi Lin coming from a distance now, she dared to take a detour. Such days really won't last long.

The prince knew that Xi Changning had a solution, and it was not in line with Xi Changning's character to just sit back and watch. She would not give up on such an opportunity that could establish her status.To put it bluntly, Xi Changning is sometimes a bitch.

"Xi Lin, your younger sister is not as smart as you." The prince laughed.

"I'm ashamed. I have to obey what she said. Thinking about what she said later, I think the crown prince should come forward." Xi Lin couldn't laugh.

The prince put away his smile and his face was stern.

"If you live a comfortable life, people will rot."

In fact, he didn't want to intervene in this matter, so his opinions have always been in the middle of others, but his third brother is very radical, and he must also want to seize this opportunity.Some people think this time is an opportunity, but sometimes it is also dangerous.

"What will the third prince do?"

"The third prince visited many officials, and he must also take this opportunity to gain the support of the ministers." Xi Lin knew that the prince had good intentions.

The third prince looks like a spring breeze, but he has a different side in his heart.The prince deliberately didn't want the third prince to be so prominent, and he was afraid that the third prince would do something rebellious and immoral in the future, so he kept deliberately suppressing him, but he didn't know what the third prince thought.

"Prince, maybe you can explain to the third prince, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to solve it together?"

Because of the intrigue in the family, Xi Lin didn't want to see the prince and was disturbed by it.But when I asked about it, I felt that my words were really superfluous. The royal family is more complicated than the prime minister's mansion. How could it be as it appears on the surface?
"Sometimes commoners are happier than princes."

I hope the third brother can understand his painstaking efforts, and don't think about these things that don't belong to him, because a person like him has nothing that really belongs to him because he is a prince.
