Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 568

Entering the palace tomorrow is obviously well thought out, and there is no need to doubt Princess Pingyang's wisdom.Xue Lang hugged her with a smile, kissed her, and said with a smile: "You know, no matter what you do, I will support you, as long as you feel better, just do it with confidence."

Princess Pingyang nodded, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and said nothing.Xue Lang told her the content of today's court meeting, and told her by the way: "The editor-in-chief of the newspaper has confirmed that you are the deputy editor-in-chief. I will ask Erlang to choose someone. After you leave the palace tomorrow, try to prepare for it. The meeting is not over yet, you should make preparations first, and when the court meeting is over and things are settled, I will be free to help you!"

"Ah."

In the past, the two of them must have fallen asleep at this moment. Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess slept late to wait for Xue Lang, and now she was a little confused. Leaning against him, her voice became weaker.

Xue Lang smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke her long hair, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and then closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep for a while, closed his eyes and thought about things for a while, and found that the more he thought about it, the more excited he seemed. There was a sign of insomnia, so I was so frightened that I quickly let go of my mind and didn't dare to think about it.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but I don't need to get up very early in the morning, because the princes of the court and His Majesty Li Er have to go to court early, Xue Lang can have breakfast at home, and wait for the palace to call.

"Water slave!"

When eating breakfast, Shui Nu was scolded by her mother. As the child grew older, he didn't like to eat egg yolks very much.When eating, she and her younger brother Tan Nu were together, and she often stuffed her own egg yolk into his bowl while adults were not paying attention.

The fat younger brother doesn’t know how to speak yet, and every time he grinned at his elder sister with his millet teeth, and then, holding his own spoon, he dug hard into his mouth, unaware that he was as fat as a small meat ball, anyway, it was delicious I tried my best to stuff it into my mouth.

Every morning for breakfast, you have to fight wits and courage with your siblings, take care of your elder sister not to be picky about food, and control your younger brother not to eat too much accumulated food. , every morning must be as busy as a war.

After breakfast, I accompanied the children for a walk in the garden to digest food. After about the time, Princess Pingyang entered the palace. Xue Lang didn't wait long, and was introduced into the palace in a short while.

Continuing with yesterday's topic, the number of participants was smaller and more targeted. Everyone spoke freely, and together they improved the plan Xue Lang proposed yesterday, and at the same time assigned management personnel for the settled affairs.

It was dark again before returning home, and when he left the palace, Xue Lang, who was wearing a thin jacket, couldn't help shivering, he looked up at the night sky, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see a single star, it was a cloudy sky Is it going to rain?It would be nice if it rained!At least it can alleviate the drought in Guanzhong.

With this matter in mind, she didn't sleep well at night, and she didn't know when she would fall asleep. Princess Pingyang slept well all night. Before she woke up, Chuxue came in outside, stood still outside, and said in a low voice : "My lady, it's frost, and the weather is cold, my lady, wait a minute, wait for the servants to prepare fur clothes."

Before Princess Pingyang could speak, Xue Lang had already sat up: "Cool the temperature and frost...Ah Choo!"

Before he finished speaking, he sneezed loudly!
Princess Pingyang was startled, frowned, and asked with concern: "But did you catch the cold?"

Xue Lang moved, rubbed his nose, and said, "It's okay, it's probably because of the sudden exposure to cold air, which is irritating, and I didn't catch a cold! I'm usually in good health, so I wouldn't catch a cold in such a short time!"

It's not a sub-healthy dead house that doesn't exercise in modern times!
Princess Pingyang looked at him, told him to lie down, tucked him in the quilt, and asked the servants to come in with a fur coat, and they got up and changed.

Xue Lang put on his fur coat, and after washing, he still held a small hand stove in his hand. He went outside to have a look. The flower beds outside were originally green, but now they were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

The servant who cleaned the yard saw Xue Lang running out, and immediately saluted. Xue Lang asked, "Is the water frozen?"

"Back to the son-in-law, there is a thin layer of knots on the side."

Xue Lang nodded, waved his hands, and asked the servants to continue working, but his own brows frowned.Princess Pingyang had finished dressing, and came out to see Xue Lang standing under the eaves, frowning, and said, "It's so cold, why are you still standing in the wind? Be careful of catching a cold!"

Xue Lang said: "You want to enter the palace today, go eat first, I won't eat, go out and have a look. It's cold in the spring, I don't know what's going on outside, I'll go outside the city to have a look, you can go into the palace after eating!"

After saying that, she walked out without looking back, Princess Pingyang knew she couldn't stop him, so she only had time to order the servants who followed: "Bring some hot food, and let the prince-in-law cushion him on the way."

"Here."

Xue Lang got into the carriage, ate three eggs, took a sip of hot water, and rushed out of the city without going anywhere, and went straight to the field——

On the ridge of the field, some greenery has just emerged in the field, and at this time, without exception, they are all covered with a layer of hoarfrost.Xue Lang only asked for a rake to be brought up for him, went straight to the grass, and carefully pulled it around. After a while, he collected a bunch of frozen locusts that hadn't grown wings yet and were in a nymph state.

He ordered people to put it on, but he didn't stop in a hurry. Around Chang'an City, regardless of whether it was east, west, north, or south, they went around in a circle, and there were frozen nymphs everywhere.

Xue Lang didn't care about the soaked shoes and robe corners, and after turning around, he directly ordered to enter the palace, bringing with him a bunch of frozen nymphs.

When Xue Lang arrived at the palace, just as he was about to invite the palace servants to pass on the news, the palace servants already said with a smile: "My son-in-law, just now everyone sent someone to the mansion to tell you to enter the palace, but the people in the mansion said that you woke up early in the morning. I have left the city, everyone has been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly, son-in-law!"

Xue Lang nodded, and went directly to the main hall of the Lizheng Hall under the leadership of the palace servants.In the main hall, Xiao Li and other ministers were discussing matters, and the discussion was about yesterday's disaster relief.

Seeing Xue Lang coming in, Li Er was about to speak, when he saw his robes covered in mud and soaked, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Why is Youyang in such a mood?"

Xue Lang said: "Return to Your Majesty, when I woke up this morning, I heard that it was frost, and even the edge of the lake at home was covered with a thin layer of frost. It seems to be the cold spring."

"It's cold in the spring?"

Xiao Li was born in a wealthy family, how could he understand this.Xue Lang had no choice but to explain roughly: "Daochunhan means that it is already early spring, the temperature is rising, and the temperature suddenly drops, comparable to winter."

Li Er nodded and asked: "Youyang left the city early in the morning because of the cold spring?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xue Lang opened the cloth bag he brought in, and Li Er looked up: "It's all locusts! This..."

The expression on his face looked a little surprised!
Xue Lang also laughed, and said: "That's right, because of the cold spring, the probability of locust plagues has dropped greatly! Chickens and ducks will continue to be stocked, and pay attention to monitoring. I predict that the possibility of locust plagues this year will be greatly reduced. Your Majesty may Let go of half of your heart!"

Xiao Li just showed a happy expression, Xue Lang paused, and said: "However, because of this frost disaster, the situation of the refugees in the city is even worse! There is no need to delay the disaster relief. Your Majesty, it is time to act." !"

Because of the sudden frost disaster, most of the worries about the locust plague have disappeared, but the problem of the refugees who gathered in the city due to the drought has reached a point where it has to be dealt with. There are incidents of people freezing to death!
The ministries of the imperial court act immediately!

Li Erdao: "Youyang, Wang Xian of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is embarrassing and has been taken away by me. Please take over the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs temporarily. How about it?"

Xue Lang is a very pragmatic person. After thinking about it, he nodded briskly and said, "Here! Disaster relief is the most important thing, let's get through the emergency first!"
