good wife

Chapter 481 The Truth Comes Out (2)
King Ming's face froze immediately, showing an extremely embarrassing expression, "Mother, I also know that I shouldn't disturb the queen mother's purity rashly. However, I really can't think of a good way." After finishing speaking, a Liao Pao knelt down, "Mother, please give me your advice!"

The queen sat on the phoenix chair, straightened her upper body and said: "Get up. You are the son of this palace. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

"Yes! Thank you, Queen Mother." Duke Ming stood up, took a few steps forward, and stood with his head bowed.

"Rui'er, how many granaries have been lost through our hands?"

"After returning to my mother, there are a total of thirty or so."

"Well, in the past few years, your power has developed quite well. But where do you not need money? You need money to raise soldiers, and naturally you need money to win over courtiers. Also, Miao Jiang, who has been cooperating with us, also wants money from us. Don't worry, the queen mother will not ignore you. As for the granary, they should check it, so let them check it! After all, it is the emperor's order. Can you stop it?"

Upon hearing this, King Ming looked at the queen with some puzzlement.

The queen smiled lightly, and her red lips parted slightly, "Although it's not yet summer, but the weather is dry, and the soldiers guarding the granary are not careful, it's not impossible to start a fire or something." After finishing speaking, The queen picked up a cup of tea on the table and sipped it slowly.

When King Ming heard it, it was as if he was being empowered by someone carrying a pot. He came to his senses, and his face was filled with excitement and admiration.

The queen glanced at King Ming, but her tone was suddenly cold and said: "I heard that Min'er has been a little unhappy recently!"

King Ming was startled, a flash of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but his attitude was extremely respectful: "After returning to mother, Min Er had an argument with Su Su a few days ago, and actually pushed Su Su from the platform. Go on. Fortunately, there were servants present at the time. Susu was not hurt. Otherwise, how would the son-in-law explain to Qin Cheng? The queen mother, Susu is the concubine after all. Even if the son-in-law is partial to Min'er, he still has to take care of Susu identity!"

When the queen heard this, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, "Is there such a thing?"

"After returning to mother, Erchen didn't believe that Min'er would have the courage to challenge the princess openly, but at that time, he was in the flower hall in the backyard. Many servants in the mansion were watching. Among them, Erchen The nuns and eunuchs who have been with me since childhood. How could they lie?"

The empress frowned, and there was a look of helplessness on that originally noble and arrogant face, "Ruier, Miner is the daughter of your uncle's family after all, don't forget, she is not just a side Concubine! Behind her, there is the Duke Protector's Mansion! You'd better not participate in the fight between women in the backyard. As a man, the most important thing is to check and balance! Do you understand?"

King Ming bowed his head when he heard the words: "Yes! My son and minister would like to follow the mother's teaching!"

"Go on. The queen mother is tired and wants to rest for a while."

"Yes! My son is leaving."

King Ming came out of Kunning Palace, turned around and looked at the gilded characters on the palace, thoughtful!Thinking of the Min'er that the queen mentioned at the end, King Ming's heart felt depressed for a while!This Bai Min'er, originally thought that after what happened last time, she would learn to be more well-behaved, but unexpectedly, after being honest for a few days, she started to behave herself!It turned out to be a move against the princess?As a prince and the head of the family, if he can't report to the father-in-law, wouldn't it be a joke?Wouldn't it be cold to the heart of Prime Minister Qin who wholeheartedly supported him?
King Ming thought about how much Qin Xiang had helped him in the court since he got engaged to Qin Susu. With his support, the wind in the court had already favored him.And since he got married, because of Qin Xiang's advice behind his back, his errands have indeed become more and more smooth!Received the emperor's praise one after another!As for Duke Huguo's mansion, although it is said to be a century-old family, it has begun to decline in the past few years.Although on the surface there are constant rewards and favors from the holy family, but in the end it is the real power in his hands that is disappearing bit by bit.The emperor is worried about the Duke Huguo's mansion!
King Ming's eyes darkened, thinking that Duke Huguo's mansion is also his maternal ancestral home after all, and he relied on him when he was a child!Although the Duke Huguo's mansion is not as prosperous as before, it has deep roots!King Ming's thoughts changed, it seems that he should be walking around with the new Crown Prince Bai Fei more often!
Thinking of this, King Ming couldn't help speeding up his pace of leaving the palace.

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed.

A large number of people gathered outside the government office of Pingqiu County, as if they were eagerly waiting for something.

"Do you think the prince will come today?" Someone whispered.

"I don't know. It's uncertain! Who knows if the prince was injured or not?"

"Didn't you go to see it? There are a large number of elite soldiers guarding the granary! Think about it, if the granary is empty, why did you send a large number of elite soldiers?"

"That's right! I also think we were cheated!" Someone echoed.

"Then tell me, if the prince comes today, will he open a warehouse to release grain? To lower the price of rice in the grain store?"

"It's hard to say! After all, it's too early to harvest the wheat! If we just open the warehouse to release grain now, how will we live in the future?"

"That's true! In short, it's us ordinary people who are suffering!"

"By the way, have you heard? It is said that the price of food in the capital has risen even harder than here!"

"Really? How do you know?"

"I've also heard it from others. It is said that the lives of the people in the capital are harder than ours!"

In the crowd, you and I are discussing each other, obviously no longer the anger and anxiety of three days ago.Perhaps it was because Qingtian sent a large number of elite soldiers to guard the granary, which created an illusion for the common people, and perhaps it was because news from outside also came in.People have such an extremely wretched mentality, that is, when they are not as good as others, they always feel that God is unfair and the world is bullying him!And when they learn that someone's life is worse than them, they will secretly be happy in their hearts!Most ordinary people will have this kind of mentality, which has nothing to do with reading or birth.

On a sunny day at the border of Pingqiu County, he was wearing a blue robe today, and the eye circles were slightly blue, presumably because he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

"My lord, the prince's car is coming."

Sunny came out of the carriage and glanced at the carriage slowly approaching.The top of the carriage is made of gilt, and the whole body is made of 'promoting elm'. Although this kind of wood is not expensive, it is extremely strong and durable.It looks ordinary on the outside, and the material of the carriage is also very ordinary, but the carving and painting of this carriage are indeed extremely meticulous and elegant. Every carving, every corner, and every hanging decoration are all very particular. This is just the exterior of the carriage. Not sure how luxurious and noble it is inside!
