The Royal’s Little Lady

After Xiao Heng repaired all the fortifications of Liangcheng, he took his family to Jingyang.

Jingyang is really different from Liangcheng.

Jingyang’s streets are much more prosperous than Liangcheng, with numerous buildings and shops, and an endless stream of merchants. It can be regarded as the last bustling post in the Central Plains leading to the border.

Xiao Heng had already bought a mansion in Jingyang, about twice the size of Liangcheng, enough for a family to live in.

After the family was settled in Jingyang, Xiao Heng was less busy than before, but had time to accompany Ah Chen on horseback trips. Sometimes Gu Suier also took Xiao Awan with him, and slowly got to know some local ladies. Usually there were some contacts. Awan and Xiao Achen also had playmates, so I had a comfortable life. Not lonely than in Yanjing City.

Until this autumn, several counties in the Central Plains were hit by disasters, first floods, then locusts. I heard that the crops were not harvested. The people starved a lot because of this, and some people starved to death.

The emperor naturally opened a treasury to distribute food for disaster relief. As a result, the treasury is tense, and the food that can be distributed to the border will be tense. It is often here who waits eagerly for the rations and salaries from the court, but there is no luck there for a long time. When the food officer arrives, the green and yellow people don't pick up, making life difficult.

It is also now that everyone thinks of the self-sufficient strategy of growing food that Xiao Heng has set before, and realizes that it is really clever.

I also have some rations, and they don’t rely solely on the army’s salary, so they won’t be hungry and wait for the court’s rations like other armies.

But when I was full, the refugees always came over.

Xiao Heng took out the food he had previously hoarded and opened a warehouse for disaster relief. All refugees who came to Jingyang would give them alms porridge.

There are also troops stationed in other places. They really can’t open the pot. They went to Xiao Heng’s side to borrow food. At this time, it’s time to judge the situation. Some are just temporary difficulties and can be borrowed, and some are not good. Going on, after all, no one has a steady supply of food.

On this day, Gu Suier took Guizhi and accompanied the army to hand out righteous porridge to the refugees in the west of the city. She thought it was a good thing to do this kind of thing, so she let Ah Chen learn from her.

"Do you remember what your father taught you yesterday? Poor is to be good alone, and Da is to be good at the world." After taking a pot of porridge, Gu Suier went back to rest in the shed behind and planned to tell Ah Chen about last night poetry.

"Remember." Ah Chen is lacking in interest. He has naturally known this for a long time: "Zi said, people of the ancients will gain ambitions and benefit the people; if you have no ambitions, self-cultivation can be seen in the world. Poor people can only be good. , Da Zhe is good at the world."

Gu Suier looked at Ah Chen's impatient appearance, and couldn't help but teach: "Although you have been smart since childhood, you can't forget about it, but you can't be too arrogant, you know? Didn't your father say that you have no end to learn and work hard? Zhou, you have to correct your thoughts and not be too proud."

Ah Chen nodded obediently: "My mother said, I will never remember to memorize it so clearly in the future."

Gu Suier choked and stared at her son.

Originally, she was also a watery temperament, and she always spoke in a warm voice, but since this son is getting older and older, her temper has also grown. Listening to what he said, isn't it killing the popularity!

At this time Guizhi came over: "Manny, there is a general from Boye City outside, saying that he is in a hurry to see our Highness."

Gu Suier heard this and wrinkled her eyebrows. "His Royal Highness has passed to Yongcheng early today. If he is not here, let him wait. I will wait for your Royal Highness to come back and see you in two days."

Guizhi sighed: "Yes, I said the same, but the deputy general said that he has something important and that he must see today. He also said that he came this time, if there is no news to go back, I am afraid it will be them Boye is going to starve to death."

Gu Suier shook her head helplessly: "This seems to be a famine, but there is no way. Now that no one is short of food, everyone is looking for food in the palace. Then our frontier defense army will have to starve first, or not see it. it is good."

Guizhi looked outside, and whispered: "Then I will reject him completely, let him not hold any hope, and go back quickly, so as not to cause trouble to your Highness."

Gu Suier nodded: "Well, it can only be done like this. I can't soften my heart. Let's find a way. No one can care about the mouths of people in the world."

At the moment, Gu Suier cleaned up a bit, and was about to lead Ah Chen home. Who knew that after coming out of the temporary hayloft behind, he happened to see a young general holding a horse talking to someone not far away.

That voice faintly carried a familiar accent.

She turned her head and looked over subconsciously, and it happened that the young general also looked over here.

With eyes facing each other, they were all dumbfounded.

The young general was wearing a battle robe, holding a bay red horse in his hands, and seemed to be in a hurry because of his journey.

This is the most common picture, and Gu Suier is used to it.

But the difference is that this person's face was once quite familiar.

Shi Lei, this name was three or four years ago, in Gu Suier's mind, that is the future husband-in-law, the support for the rest of her life, and the hope of all her life.

Only now, she looked at this person's face as if she had passed away.

Shi Lei came today by the order of the City Lord General Boye. He must see Xiao Heng, the current five princes today, and ask Xiao Heng to give them some food.

If he can't see Xiao Heng and get food, some of them will starve to death.

When he rushed to the outside of Jingyang City, even though it was late autumn, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead and neck.

He took out his sweat towel and wiped his sweat indiscriminately, and then looked at the congee shed over there.

It is said that the current five princes built a porridge shed here to give congee to the refugees. He looked at the hot scene before him, thinking that the fifth prince is really a benevolent person, and he must be able to lend them some food to tide over this crisis, right?

He pursed his dry lips and raised his face to look at the sky.

Can you see His Royal Highness the Five Princes today?

As he was thinking, he heard some movement next to him, and turned his head to look at it unconsciously.

At this time, the cool autumn breeze brushed his sweaty neck, bringing him some coolness.

He looked over so casually, but saw a picture that he would remember for a lifetime.

A woman with a simple hair bun, standing there quietly and gracefully, casually led a little boy in brocade.

The dresses and dresses on the woman's body couldn't be more simple, but the whole body exudes a gentle and noble breath, and it makes people feel that this is a pampered noble person.

He joined the army when he was a teenager, and was later promoted step by step to the position of school general, which is quite promising.

In this way, he occasionally met some people with identity and their wives.

But none of the ladies he had met had the grace and dignity of the woman in front of him.

What made him stay there was a blank in his mind. The noble woman in front of him looked very much like his wife, Gu Suier, who had never had a door.

"Sui'er..." His lips were trembling, and his mind was empty. He didn't know what was going on, he even thought blankly, maybe it was just similar.

His Suier, who was bullied, had a big belly, and married a very old man.

When he came out of the house, he always wanted to find Sui'er, to find Sui'er, and if she really had a bad life, he would take her away.

It doesn't matter if she already has other people's children, this time he doesn't care about them anymore.

"Sui'er, you, are you Sui'er?" He grabbed the rein in his hand and stepped forward.

Gu Suier initially thought that she might have admitted wrong.

She remembered that Hu Tie escorted her parents home. At that time, Shi Lei was missing, and Shi's parents were making trouble for her parents.

I'm missing, I can't find it, I don't know where I went, but how come you stand here in a uniform, or dressed as a school general?

She thought she had heard it wrong, so she wanted to turn around and leave.

But just when she was about to take a step, she heard the person calling herself Suier.

The voice was low and trembling.

Although the wind was blowing, she heard it really.

A young school general who looked like Shi Lei called himself Suier.

She frowned and paused there.

Next to him, Xiao Achen raised his face and curiously said: "Mother, the general calls your name, does he know you?"

Shi Lei's expression was lifted when he heard this. He knew that it was indeed. This was Suier.

In a few years, Suier became what it is now.

He stepped forward: "Sui'er, it really is you! You, how have you been all these years-why are you here?"

He was so excited that he was about to catch Gu Suier's hand.

Seeing this, Ah Chen stepped forward, and his small body directly stopped him: "Hey, this general, what are you going to do? Why are you trying to catch my mother? You are a gangster, come here, give this person to me Take it down!"

Don't look at him soft and waxy, usually like a little baby boy, also naughty and loves to laugh, but once the face is sullen, there is really such a thing.

Ah Chen scolded so, and the guard next to him who had not dared to come forward huffed and came forward.

No matter who you are, even if you are a general, if you dare to bully your concubine, or offend the little emperor and grandson, you have to win.

"Sui'er, I'm Shi Lei, I'm your little stone brother!" Shi Lei hurriedly said.

Gu Suier looked at the familiar and stranger in front of him, and sighed lightly.

The one who should come is always coming.

She really didn't expect that after a few years, she would meet old people in this remote Jingyang city.

"Let him go, it's just a misunderstanding."

She said faintly.

After speaking, she found that her tone of voice was very similar to that of Xiao Heng.
