​Imperial palace sweet love: Your Majesty, too dark!

It's all right.

It's getting late.

Xia Ruqing can't wait any longer.

Together with the elder brother and sister-in-law, they send away Er Niang and Cai Yang's carriage.

After chatting for a while, I took a look at my nephew Xia Chengze and left.

……

Zhao Junyao really can't spare time.

She is a woman with children, even if there is a dark guard, it is not convenient to spend the night outside the palace.

Therefore, only one day is more precious!

Out of the door of the Marquis's house.

Xia Ruqing's carriage went straight to the south of the city.

All the way.

Chen son curiously looks at carriage outside, in the eye is all curious.

"Mother Princess? Where are we going? "

Xia Ruqing rubbed his head and said gently.

"Guess what?"

Chen son looked around and shook his head.

"I don't know!"

Xia Ruqing laughed.

"You'll know later!"

Then she put her arms around his shoulder and asked.

"Chen'er, do you like the common people of the great Chu dynasty?"

Chen son that pair of thick eyebrows exactly like Zhao Junyao quickly one Lin, serious way.

"Of course I do!"

"It is said in ancient books that those who are emperors and kings should love the people like children!"

"My son's ministers are not emperors, but they dare not slack off at all!"

Xia Ruqing should have been serious, but she was amused by his small appearance.

He asked with a smile.

"So... Have you ever seen the common people?"

Chen son a Leng, shake a head to whisper.

"No!"

There's some guilt in my eyes.

Yeah.

Book cloud, old saying cloud, sir cloud

He has read so many books, but he has never seen them with his own eyes.

What's the difference between this and talking on paper?!

"The concubine will show you today!"

"As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. Let's go to the common people's home to have a meal. How about it as a gift for your fourth birthday?"

Chen son eyes instantly bright.

"Really?"

"Mother, is this true?"

Xia Ruqing asked with a smile.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes!"

"I like it!"

Chen son almost takes to cry a cavity.

He loves this birthday present so much.

Xia Ruqing was a little sad.

Heart said: this child, how and his father like, simply for the world's people hold broken heart!

If you become emperor in the future

Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!

Xia Ruqing shakes her head.

How can she think of it.

It's not a good job to be an emperor. If you can, you'd better not.

Her only hope.

Even her children can live a safe life.

……

An hour later.

The plain carriage stopped on a country road on the outskirts of the city.

At the end of the path is farmland after farmland.

Xia Ruqing removed all the precious hairpin rings from her head and changed into a white cotton shirt.

Chen son's also changed, inlaid the hat of bead jade, changed green cloth small round hat.

Clothes have also been changed into trousers and short shirts worn by ordinary people's children.

Purple month they also changed cotton clothes.

On the whole, it seems.

This is how a few foreigners came to Beijing and passed by.

Change clothes.

Xia Ruqing then took people out of the carriage and went to the farmland.

It's the end of October.

It's not spring ploughing or autumn harvest.

There are not many people in the fields.

Walk down the road.

All the crops in the field are sweet potato and taro.

Xia Ruqing grew up in the countryside when she was a child. Naturally, she knew her.

Chen son but...... a face is at a loss.

"Concubine..."

Xia Ruqing interrupted him.

"Call me Niang now!"

"Mother, what are these? Do you recognize it? "

Chen son immediately changes a mouth, a pair of big eyes seek knowledge if hungry.

"Of course I do!" She smiles.

"That dry stem is sweet potato. Its fruit is buried under the ground. You can eat it if you dig it out!"

She pointed to another piece of land.

"The white and green ones are cabbage, and the red ones are radish!"

"Oh

Zhao Qichen listened carefully and nodded.

Crops were scarce in ancient times.

A path down, on both sides of the children's farmland almost all of these.

Occasionally there are a few spinach, it is very rare.

Chen son some don't understand.

"Niang, why do they grow so many sweet potatoes but so few radishes and cabbages?"

Xia Ruqing looks at her son deeply.

I have this profound question in my mind.

He is worthy of being the son of the emperor's husband. His IQ is only four years old.

"Because, sweet potato can fill the stomach!"

"And radish and cabbage, is not to block the hungry dishes, they grow some enough to eat on the line!"

"Ah?"

Zhao Qichen was very surprised.

Xia Ruqing looked the same and nodded.

But I'm glad:

Fortunately, I brought him here, otherwise... He might have asked such a startling question as "why not eat minced meat"!

"Then... Are these just a few vegetables enough to eat?"

"It should be enough!"

Isn't this how people from poor families live?

She looked at the cabbages in the distance.

I remember in my mind when I was in modern times.

Grandma's family also planted a lot of radish and cabbage.

Every new year's Eve, grandma would prepare two large clay pots.

A pickled radish pimple.

A pickled cabbage.

Two pots of pickled vegetables are enough for her and grandma to eat for one year!

So

It should be enough!

Chen son however shakes head.

"Why don't they have more?"

"Isn't it... If you plant more of this, you won't be able to fill your stomach!"

Xia Ruqing nodded.

"Yes

"These lands should belong to farmers!"

"There are other people who don't even have these. They can only serve as tenants to the landlords. They are busy all year round, but they still don't have enough to eat in the end!"

Where there are people, there is society.

Where has there been no exploitation since ancient times?

Chen son's vision gradually coldness rises.

"Mother!"

"I still can't imagine!"

"How can I eat these vegetables for a year?"

Put it in the palace, even his meal is not enough!

Seeing the way he spoke, he felt worried about the country and the people.

She can't help laughing.

"All right!"

"Let's have a meal with a farmer later. Don't you know?"

Chen son frowns to nod.

Before that, he thought he was saving enough.

I didn't expect that it was too luxurious!

The group walked around in the field for a long time.

Finally found an old woman who was digging sweet potatoes in the field.

Xia Ruqing is about to step forward.

Chen son but first step forward to say hello!

"Good mother-in-law!"

The mother-in-law looked at her white hair, but she was very strong.

I think I've worked in the fields all year round.

She looked up.

See call her is a pink toot cool little boy.

As soon as I like it, I laugh.

"Ah! Good

"This little doll is so sensible!"

Looking up again, I saw three young women in cotton clothes.

The first one, the thin skinned one, is the most beautiful!

"Who is this lady?"

Xia Ruqing was dressed like a woman. That's why she asked.
