peasant girl allure

Chapter 787
Shangguan Wanru asked Xiao'er why she came today, and it was the emperor's birthday at the end of the year, so she knew she had a lot to do.

"There's been a lot of things lately, and I don't have time to meet you for a good time. I'm pretty busy with things today, so I came here specially to meet you and send a bottle of pills to the imperial concubine."

The maid behind Shangguan Wanru paused when she refilled the tea after hearing this, then filled up the tea as if nothing had happened, and retreated behind Shangguan Wanru.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law?" Shangguan Wanru was a little surprised when she heard this. Isn't her illness cured?

When she and Du Yijin were daughters, they didn't have much contact with each other. After she got married, she fell ill. In order not to affect her recuperation, she didn't want to disturb her. The relationship can't be called close, but she also knew that her illness was cured.

"Your sister-in-law had a hard life when she was a child, and her body was weak. Recently, she caught cold twice, and her body suffered even more. Women are most afraid of catching cold, and the imperial physicians are helpless, so I gave her some pills to recuperate her body." Xiao'er Originally, she wanted to say that Du Yijin was just a bit chilly, and she would be fine after some recuperation, but she noticed that when she mentioned the pills, the maid's movements stopped, so she deliberately said it in a serious way.

"So serious? It's lucky to have you, otherwise our family would be broken! You are still the same as before, and your heart is better than anyone else." Shangguan Wanru trusted Xiao'er's pills quite a bit.

"Friends help each other, not to mention we are relatives now." Xiao'er said casually.

Shangguan Wanru nodded.

"Did Prince Nangong come back with you this time?"

"No, father is seriously ill, he has to be by his side." If she didn't want to help her husband, she would not be able to come back.

"Then you're going back to Nangong Kingdom after the Longevity Festival, right?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Wanru was reluctant to leave her parents, but she also cared about Gong Zixuan.

The servant girl behind Shangguan Wanru suddenly felt a movement in her heart. Although she was presumptuous, she still spoke: "Crown Princess, I don't know whether I should say something or not."

After hearing this, Xiao'er raised her head and glanced at her, then looked away indifferently, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea.

Shangguan Wanru saw her being so impolite in front of her natal family, she said without even looking at her: "Since you don't know whether you should say it or not, then don't say it!"

"But this matter is very important, it is related to the prince..." The maid hesitated to speak up to this point.

A coldness flashed across Xiao'er's eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you have anything to say, just speak up!" Regarding Gong Zixuan, Shangguan Wanru still paid more attention to it.

The servant girl glanced at Xiao'er before she said: "The servant girl heard that the prince's life was saved by the pills presented by Princess Rui. The servant girl thought that if Princess Rui could send another bottle of pills to the princess and let the prince give it to the emperor, the emperor's health will be good." I must feel that the prince's filial piety has moved the heavens."

The corners of Xiao'er's mouth turned up when she heard this, and she looked at her with a half-smile: "I don't know what kind of disease your emperor is suffering from, so how can you give me medicine casually?"

"Isn't Princess Rui's pills curative for all diseases?" The servant girl replied, looking directly at Xiao'er.

Shangguan Wanru's unmoved heart after hearing this is a lie. The emperor doesn't love the prince very much. If she can get the pill back and make him better, it will definitely change the emperor's view of the prince. But such a pill must be very sweet. It's precious, she can't ask Xiao'er for it.

"You have too many things to worry about as a maid! Come on, go down! You don't need to wait here! Xiao'er, don't mind my maid talking too much."

Xiao'er shook her head, and gave Shangguan Wanru a sorry look: "No, it's just that I only have one pill left, and I plan to keep it to save my life when I give birth in the future, so I can't give it away anymore. This pill It was also left to me by my master, who said that I can give it away, but I must keep one for myself, so I am sorry."

The people of Nangong Kingdom really tried every means to make their own pills!
After hearing this, Shangguan Wan said awkwardly: "It's okay, it's true that the servant girl's words made you feel embarrassed. In fact, Emperor Father has taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and he is getting better day by day."

Xiaoer nodded after hearing this.

The two talked about other things, but Shangguan Wanru hadn't recovered from the pain of losing her child, and she was not very interested in hiding the matter in her heart.

Seeing this, Xiao'er found an excuse to leave.

……

For the emperor's birthday, the Eastern Jin Kingdom and Nangong Kingdom all sent envoys, and there were people from Korea and other countries farther away.

They haven't been here for several years, and they were shocked to see the changes in Min Zeguo.

There are more bridges, more roads, and more new houses. The most important thing is that when walking on the street, the people smile more, and the school is thriving. What does all this represent?
Every envoy who came to celebrate his birthday felt very complicated when he saw these changes. This Min Zeguo is a few blocks away from their country.

And that zoo, that big circus, so many animals, how did you find them?How were those beasts tamed?And how to teach those animals to perform with humans?
At the palace banquet, foreign envoys also had no intention of watching the wonderful performance.

They all scrambled to ask the question in the emperor's heart.

……

"Your Majesty, why can the official roads of your country be repaired so quickly? I haven't been here for a few years, but this time it really opened my eyes! The carriage is walking on the road without any bumps at all."

Firstly, road construction requires money, and secondly, manpower and material resources are required. How much money will it take to repair so many roads and so many bridges?How did Min Zeguo become rich all of a sudden when he was poor before?
The emperor is very happy today, watching the envoys from other countries, all kinds of envy and praise towards his own country, it has greatly satisfied his vanity.

"Most of those roads were built by ordinary people on their own initiative. For those ordinary people who donate money and energy to build roads, the family will not have to pay road and bridge tolls on that section of the road! Sending out a labor force can save the whole family from paying road and bridge tolls. People They all enthusiastically signed up to build roads. Also, now as long as someone commits a crime, we don’t waste food in prison anymore, we give it to them..." The emperor talked about some things that are not secret in this dynasty, but foreign envoys He also told them the basic national policy that he didn't know.

After hearing this, everyone praised the emperor for his wisdom.

The power of one person is very little, and the power of a family is not great, but the power of getting families in the whole country to participate in road construction is immeasurable!
In the past few years, not only the main official roads in various counties and towns have been repaired, but even in some wealthy villages, the entire village road has been repaired!Every family lives in a new house.Of course there are not many such villages, but they do exist.

If it is said that some envoys were arrogant when they were sent to Min Zeguo in the past, but now that sense of superiority is gone.

Now it is the turn of Min Zeguo's envoys to be proud and elated when they visit other countries.

The palace banquet didn't end until very late, the emperor's mouth was dry when he talked about it, and his face stiffened from laughing!
