Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1047 Xia Shao
"Your Majesty Tian is right. Since it is a draft, the scope should be expanded and not limited to the capital." Wang Yibo thought about it seriously, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, since you have already decided to draft, why not expand it?" Is it the scope of the show girl?"

"Well," Xiao Yijin nodded, and sighed in a low voice, "As for Mr. Tian's proposal, I have one more explanation. I plan to include the merchant's daughter in the scope of the draft."

"This?" Wang Yibo suddenly hesitated, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the daughter of a merchant, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, has a very low status..."

"It's precisely because their identities are too humble, so I plan to raise their identities properly." Meeting his somewhat disapproving gaze, Xiao Yijin said firmly.

In the end Wang Yibo could only compromise.

"Since the emperor has already made a decision, the old minister will not talk too much."

"Ah."

At dusk, Fengluan Palace.

Tang Huanxi went to the kitchen to make rice dumplings.

"Is it delicious?" Tang Huanxi looked at Xiao Yijin who was eating elegantly, and asked with a smile.

"Mother's food is naturally delicious." Xiao Yijin smiled slightly, and soon the bowl of rice dumplings in front of her had bottomed out.

"I heard that you have adopted Mr. Tian's suggestion to expand the scope of the draft?"

"Ah."

"Why should the merchant's daughter be allowed to participate in the draft?"

"Mother, although we have had a truce with Xiliang for five years, the treasury of our dynasty has been as empty as ever in these five years." Xiao Yijin looked at her mother's eyes full of concern, and explained softly, "The dam in Spring City back then After the sudden collapse, I specially sent someone to count the treasury, I really didn't expect that a big country like my Dayong would be so poor!"

"But isn't there a lot of taxes in the annual report?"

"The Ministry of Households controls the national treasury, and Qian Kou, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, comes to me every day to think about poverty... Other departments, large and small officials' salaries, and all over the country need to build bridges and pave roads! Money is used everywhere, and my son didn't expect me This emperor is actually so poor!"

Xiao Yijin was full of bitterness and couldn't find anyone to confide in.

He simply told Tang Huanxi all the anxiety in his heart.

"Son, I didn't expect it to be so difficult for you!" Tang Huanxi patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It's just that the heights are extremely cold and the treasury is too empty. You have to figure out a way yourself!"

"Mom, I've said so much, and you're not going to support me?" Xiao Yijin couldn't help but smile when she saw the smile on Tang Huanxi's face.

"Ahem, your father doesn't even dare to hack my private treasury, how dare you?"

"Don't dare!" Xiao Yijin shook her head hastily.

After eating a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi, Xiao Yijin smiled contentedly.

The mother and son chatted for a while, and then Xiao Yijin reluctantly left.

"Since Your Majesty came back, His Majesty seems to be much more lively than before." Nanny Gui looked at Tang Huanxi, her voice full of gratitude, "It's a good thing you're back, Your Majesty."

"Yijin is a child who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." Tang Huanxi smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "However, according to my understanding of this child, he will not propose to marry the merchant's daughter for no reason. Being included in the primary selection list, there may be something hidden about this matter. Mommy, has Yijin ever had contact with any girl during the years I've been asleep?"

"This?" Nanny Gui frowned, thinking about it seriously, "I've never heard of it!"

"Did I guess wrong?" Tang Huanxi raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of doubts.

Another quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wuyou bounced into Fengluan Hall.

"mother!"

"Are you back?" Tang Huan happily hugged his daughter into his arms with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness, "How is it? Did you have fun with your father today?"

"Very happy!" Xiao Wuyou nodded hurriedly, then took out a sachet from her bosom and handed it to Tang Huanxi, "Mother, take a look, this is the sachet that sister Xia Shao gave me. Does it look good?"

"The pattern on this sachet is quite unique. It seems to be embroidered with peony flowers?"

"That's right, sister Xia Shao said that she was born when peonies were in full bloom, so her name was called Xia Shao."

"Wuyou, who is the sister Xia Shao you're talking about? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?" Tang Huanxi rubbed her little face and asked with a smile.

"Ma'am, this Miss Xia Shao is the jewel in the palm of Xia Hou, the head of the Xia Family of the Imperial Shang Dynasty. She is only twelve years old." Nanny Gui quickly explained with a smile, "Two years ago, Miss Xia Shao met the Emperor at the Great Buddha Temple. If you don't fight, you don't know each other!"

"It sounds like this is a very tortuous story?" Tang Huanxi grasped the key point sensitively, and then reached out and tapped Xiao Wuyou's nose, "It sounds like you have a good relationship with this sister Xia Shao? Then our Can Xiao Wuyou tell me the story of your eldest brother and Miss Xia Shao?"

"Of course!" Xiao Wuyou nodded hastily, "But the story must start two years ago!"

Winter two years ago.

A winter snow fell suddenly, dyeing the entire palace white.

Wuyou and Yiminghe missed their mother, so they pestered Xiao Yijin and made a fuss about going to the Dafo Temple to meet her mother.

At that time, Xiao Yijin really couldn't stand the entanglement of her younger siblings, so she went out of the palace in low clothes.

It's just that it's winter, and there's a thick layer of snow on the ground.

The carriage staggered forward and finally stopped halfway up the mountain.

In desperation, Xiao Yijin happened to get out of the car with her younger siblings and walk.

Stepping on the thick snow, keep moving forward.

But I didn't expect that something happened to Miss Xia Shao's carriage at that time.

Just as they passed each other, Xia Shao suddenly staggered and fell heavily on Xiao Yijin's body.

"and after?"

"At that time, the emperor's elder brother was traveling in a micro-clothes, so there were not many guards around him. When Xia's servants saw this scene, they immediately surrounded us. Fortunately, sister Xia Shao was kind and kind, and helped us out. .At that time, I didn’t know what happened to my eldest brother, not only didn’t appreciate it, but also taught sister Xia Shao a lesson, blaming her for not standing up properly!”

"Yijin has followed your father's lead in this point, a proper straight man." Tang Huanxi commented with a smile, "What happened later? What happened later?"

"Later we met Sister Xia Shao in front of the Buddhist hall. Sister Xia Shao picked up the sachet I was wearing, so she deliberately left it in the heavy snow and wanted to return the sachet to me. In the end, my elder brother scolded her for being too stupid... ...In the end, sister Xia Shao and elder brother got into a fight."

The battle at that time was quite fierce, so Xiao Wuyou still remembers it fresh.

"I said you are really a dog, a dog can't spit out ivory!" Xia Shao was also annoyed at the time, and pointed at Xiao Yijin's nose and accused angrily!
