Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 641 The first place in the succession examination is questioned (3)
"My lady, why don't you sleep and wait for me?" He Jingyan came in and took off his outer robe, and sat half a foot away from Li Jingjing, with the smell of alcohol floating in the air.

Li Jingjing asked: "Grandpa brought His Majesty to us, what's the matter?"

He Jingyan then explained He Dong's purpose, and said, "Second brother and I, one is a red face and the other is a bad face, and we want to push this matter away."

"In such a cold day, His Majesty came to Jincheng to ask for help. How could we refuse?" Li Jingjing's face was calm, without the slightest anger.

Ever since she took out the seeds from the medicine mansion, she had imagined that such a day would come.

When Li Bing and He Yiyang came to Jincheng the year before last, He Yiyang didn't have the nerve to ask for seeds.This time He Dong came to Jincheng right after he left the court.

"If you can't push it, you have to." He Jingyan poured half a cup of hot water and handed it to Li Jingjing. Let's talk after confinement."

"The season of the year lies in spring. Your Majesty came to ask for seeds at this time, so that the people can plant them in the ground in spring." Li Jingjing said softly: "Your Majesty is not for himself, but for the people. My seeds, you I know, there are quite a few in the medicine mansion.”

The chill on He Jingyan's body dissipated, he stepped forward and sat beside Li Jingjing, hugged her fragrant shoulders, and said: "My lady, as long as you set this precedent, you will have to give seeds every year from now on. Have you ever Have you thought about how many fields there are in this dynasty and how many seeds are needed?"

Li Jingjing said slowly: "I will only give the Northland the seeds it needs." He also said: "The Northland is barren, and many people starve to death every year, which is worse than the former Longbei."

He Jingyan knows better than anyone how food-deficient the Northland is.

When he led the Huben Army to fight in the North, the local people were so poor that they had only one life left. In order to thank them for driving away the Huns, they couldn't get any food, so they could only kneel down and kowtow to give some water.

Li Jingjing watched He Jingyan sink into memories, and said softly: "You and grandpa have a deep affection for Beidi. This time, His Majesty came to beg in person. For the sake of the three of you, I have to give Beidi the seeds."

He Jingyan held Li Jingjing's little hand, and said: "My husband originally wanted to give half of the seeds from Longbei to His Majesty, so that you don't have to work hard, and Your Majesty can also get the seeds."

"Husband, don't worry." Li Jingjing suddenly laughed and said: "Last year you were worried about having no money, but at the end of the year you got so much wealth. Now you are worried about seeds, don't worry, I I'm in good health, I have seeds, and the Northland will get better."

He Jingyan heard Li Jingjing speak so optimistically, and said with a smile: "My wife is a great lucky star for my husband."

Li Jingjing stretched out her hand to caress her belly, which was not yet swollen, and murmured: "I want to do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for our baby."

He Jingyan lay down with Li Jingjing in his arms, and closed his eyes only when she fell asleep.

Compared to He Jingyan's worries, He Dong was much more worried.

He Dong was so tired that he couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed. He got up and reached out to knock on the wall a few times. Li Bing's room was next door.

Li Bing put on his coat and knocked on the door, saw He Dong sitting at the table frowning, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is worried about the seeds?"

He Dong sighed, and said, "Mr. who knows me."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. My Jing Niang is the most soft-hearted. You came in person, she will definitely not let you come in vain." Li Bing went to get a robe and put it on He Dong, then sat down and said: " Just stay in Jincheng steadfastly, and within three days, my Jing Niang will give you a letter of approval."

He Dong asked anxiously, "Why does it take three days?"

"There are so many seeds, Jingniang has to be ready to put them in a certain place." Seeing He Dong's brows stretched, Li Bing said, "Jingyan and Xiaolang are protecting Jingniang this time, so it seems that you, an uncle, have nothing to do with me. This grandpa is cruel."

He Dong hurriedly said: "Sir, it's my idea to ask Jingniang for seeds, and it has nothing to do with you. I'll make it clear to her tomorrow, so she must not misunderstand you."

He came to Jincheng to ask for seeds because he listened to the advice of his former secretary, Lin Bian.

In the next two days, Li Bing met Li Qubing's family and Qu Duo's family.

Accompanied by He Jingyan and Qin Xionghuang, He Dong inspected Jincheng Academy and Jincheng Academy, and made private visits to Huiyi District, disaster-stricken areas and villages in the outer suburbs.

When the royal family heard that He Dong had come to Jincheng, they thought that he would summon the patriarch, at least to see Concubine Wang Shu, but there was no movement, so they sent Wang Yanyu to Yan Wang's mansion to quietly ask Li Jingjing.

"Your Majesty came in a hurry this time and will leave soon."

Wang Yanyu returned to her mother's house and repeated the words exactly.

Seeing his grandfather Wang He's expectant face, Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "Grandpa, the princess is telling us tactfully that His Majesty will not come to our family."

Mrs. Yun glared at Wang Hezhi, and when her children and grandchildren retreated, she spat on the ground and cursed: "You still regard yourself as His Majesty's father-in-law? Go live your big dream!"

Her daughter came from a noble family, beautiful in appearance, skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Back then, so many talented scholars and celebrities came to propose marriage and wanted to marry their daughter as the main wife, and they promised not to take concubines.

Although her daughter has won the title of First Imperial Concubine now, what else is there besides this?
Alas, it is too late to say anything now.

Wang Hezhi saw Yun's angry face and walked away, his old eyes gradually dimmed.

He Dong only stayed in Jincheng for three days, and after getting approval letters from He Jingyan and Li Jingjing, he left very satisfied. Neither Concubine Wang Shu nor He Jingrong saw him.

When Murong Ying learned about this, she was secretly delighted.Although she and He Dong are old married couples, she still hopes that He Dong only has her in his heart.

Various cities in the north sent troops to Jincheng to collect seeds and saplings.The people in the north planted potatoes in the sand when they got them.The government in the north organized the people to plant turtle grass in the desert.

The people in the North used to respect and appreciate Li Bing and He Jingyan the most, but now there are two more people, namely He Dong and Li Jingjing.

The Deng family in the north contacted more than a dozen families and wrote a memorial to the court to reward Li Jingjing's unborn children.

In the blink of an eye, it was March, and the cities of Dingchao Empire held the county and government examinations held every three years.

He Jiye, who was only ten years old, won the first place in Chang'an County.

Li Yunfei, who has been named the prince of the county, also participated in the county examination. In the county examination where there are many students in Chang'an, he was No. 15 in the examination.In the past two years, he has been in the army, and he has not neglected his studies. This ranking is considered excellent.

Some people in Chang'an were not convinced, thinking that He Jiye was ranked first by the examiner because of Li Bing's honor, so they invited him to participate in the poetry meeting.

On this day, He Jiye and Li Yunfei wore the same style of purple brocade shirts and rode to the Plum Garden in the suburbs.
