good wife

Chapter 497 This is punishment (1)
Yuan Xi didn't get out of the car, but said through the curtain: "Concubine Yue is free! Concubine Lao Yue came out to greet her personally, but the concubine was tired all the way and her health was a little sick. Let's go directly to the city."

After hearing this, Princess Yue smiled instead of anger!It stands to reason that they are juniors. Although he is a prince of the royal family, King Yue has always been valued by the emperor and has a heavy army in his hand. Even the emperor and queen treat them with courtesy!But now Prince Ping and Concubine Ping put up a spectacle in front of her!

Concubine Yue's face was full of smiles, "Concubine Wang is actually not feeling well, she should go back to the house to rest earlier." After speaking, she turned sideways and took a few steps back.

With Concubine Yue's concession, all the officials and family members also retreated, and a path was opened, asking Ping Wangfu's carriage to go first.

Both Jingyi and Yuanxi were sitting in the carriage and couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the people outside.You must know that after the incident in Pingqiu County, the reputation of King Ping and Princess Ping has spread throughout the entire Fengcheng, and even Dayuan!So this time when King Ping and Princess Ping returned from Pingqiu County, all the officials did not need to be informed by Fu Xiang, so they all went to the gate of the city and waited early.It can be seen that after this incident, they have truly admitted that King Ping is their master from the bottom of their hearts!

Concubine Ping was worried about the people in Pingqiu County, so she went to Pingyang Town, where the wind and sand were most severe.And King Ping even lowered the price of all the grain stores under his name to the lowest level at a critical juncture!It even allowed some other grain merchants to get compensation after the price reduction!The ultimate beneficiaries are the people!It's the entire city closed!

In the face of this incident of driving up grain prices, the prince never punished a grain merchant from beginning to end. Except for Master Sun, who was short of money in the Pingqiu county government treasury, other officials were not affected!Such a problem-solving method, speed, and final results are beyond the imagination of all officials and common people.

What made the officials who closed the city even more admirable was that King Ping's method was so effective, and it was quickly reported to the court.The emperor also imitated King Ping and quickly started to implement it in various places in Dayuan.This also makes the food price in Dayuan slowly stabilize!However, the emperor took thunderous measures for several days in a row, and dismissed all the personnel in several important positions in the household department and the official department for investigation!A new batch of people was reactivated.

This move quickly spread throughout the north and south of Dayuan!No one thought that a farce of driving up food prices would end so easily!It was even unexpected that the emperor would use this to get rid of many elites from King Ming and King Jin and re-support newcomers!In the end, it is impossible to know who benefited behind this farce.

"Yue Zhengyang!" After the carriage passed by, there was a hundred guards following closely behind.And behind the guards, there is a noble young man covering his face with a fan!At this time, the noble young master heard this coquettish shout, his handsome face collapsed, he put away his folding fan, got off his horse and said: "Mother Concubine!"

Concubine Yue looked at Yue Zhengyang who had an aggrieved face, and then looked at his originally fair skin, it turned out to be slightly brown at this time, and there was a tired look between his brows!Concubine Yue, who was originally full of anger, now saw her own son like this, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had, it turned into a pet!

Concubine Yue moved lightly to Yue Zhengyang, seeing that her son had lost a lot of weight, her eyes turned red, and she choked up, "Yang'er! My good boy! These days, I have suffered!"

"Concubine Mother!" Although Yue Zhengyang always wanted to avoid Concubine Yue, but it was his mother after all, how could he not miss her?Now seeing Princess Yue's distressed face, her heart twitched, and her eyes turned red, "I'm fine! Concubine Mother, let's go back to Prince Ping's Mansion first! Let Prince Ping and his wife cook us something delicious and treat us well." you!"

Princess Yue burst into tears when she heard Yue Zhengyang's indecent tone, "You child! You are always out of shape!" After speaking, she pulled Yue Zhengyang to the side of the carriage with one hand, "Come on, let's ride back with mother Prince Ping's Mansion, let's have a good talk, mother and son!"

Yue Zhengyang's mother and son got into the carriage, and along the way, Princess Yue kept asking about her relatives, without mentioning anything about Yue Zhengyang's marriage!Yue Zhengyang's heart beat a little!In the old city, when the concubine mother saw her, she would definitely mention her marriage first, what happened today?Could it be that he thought about it and left him alone?

After a while, Concubine Yue's carriage caught up with the carriage of Prince Ping's Mansion, and followed closely behind.

"Yuanxi, it stands to reason that Concubine Yue is considered your elder. Even though she is your adoptive mother, she is still the concubine of Yue Wang! Yue Wang is highly valued by the emperor, why don't you get off the carriage? , and don’t let me go down? Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing for Princess Yue?”

Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "Yiyi, it seems that your stay in Pingqiu County is not satisfactory during this period of time! Why is your brain so hard?"

Jingyi glared at him angrily when she heard the words, "What are you talking about? Why is my brain not working well? Am I thinking of you too? Aren't you showing off in front of Concubine Yue! Do you have prejudices?"

Suddenly, Jingyi's voice paused, and she gave Yuan Xi a embarrassed look, "That! I understand now. Did you do it on purpose?"

Although it was a question, but in this tone, it was mostly affirmative!

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "You! I finally understand again!"

Jingyi cleared her throat and said: "Didn't I just wake up? My mind is still a little messy! You just want to create the illusion that you reject Princess Yue thousands of miles away? But this doesn't make sense! After all Yue Zhengyang is your Martial Minister, although it is said that it was issued by the emperor's decree, but Yue Zhengyang has indeed done a lot for you! Who in this closed city doesn't know that Yue Zhengyang is your right-hand man?"

"That's right. I just don't want to get too close to Concubine Yue in front of people! After all, her identity is different from Yue Zhengyang. Yue Zhengyang is about the same age as me, and we can talk about everything. It's nothing unusual to become friends Yes! But Concubine Yue is different! In a sense, her attitude can sometimes be understood as the attitude of King Yue! Besides, her identity and I are there! If I am too eager for her, I’m afraid Interested people will think that I am deliberately trying to please Princess Yue, that is, trying to please King Yue in a disguised form! If this gets out, it will be very bad!"

Jingyi shook her head, "There are always too many scruples in talking and doing things! Too tired!"

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "It's okay! If you're tired, I'll leave everything to my husband!"

Jing Yi looked at Yuan Xi's eyes that were as bright as stars, shining brightly!As if by magic, Jing Yi's entire soul was sucked in!Looking at such a pair of charming eyes, Jingyi can't move her eyes away!
Yuan Xi whispered: "Yiyi, if you look at me like this again, I will think that you want to tear my husband apart!"
