Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 77 Departing Huainan
Luo Qing smiled dryly and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Your Highness, you can't hide this matter, and besides, you don't need to hide it. You are the prince of a country, and it is normal to have several side concubines. What's more, those side concubines The concubine was chosen by the empress dowager for you."

"Just do what Gu said. No matter who chooses those side concubines, only one concubine is enough in Gu's palace." Yu Xuanzhen's eyes darkened, imperceptibly a little more deterrent.

Luo Qing's back stiffened, and he quickly responded loudly with the sword in his arms, then turned around and confessed to Chi Hai.

Yu Xuanzhen looked down at Zhezi in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold.

The memorial was written by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It said that the grains in Huainan had not been harvested last year. Since the spring of this year, the price of grain in Huainan has doubled several times.

Food is too expensive, and the people spent all their wealth to buy some food, but the price of food is still rising, so that people can no longer afford food.

It was the time when the crops were green and yellow, and with the lack of rain this year, even the seedlings could not grow well, and it seemed that it would be difficult to harvest grains for another year.If things go on like this, by this autumn, the whole of Huainan will probably be in a wilderness, and the people will definitely flee to other places and be displaced.

After closing the memorial, Yu Xuanzhen felt extremely heavy.

In the fall of last year, there were officials playing, and the imperial court also sent officials to Huainan for disaster relief. 20 taels of relief money, plus hundreds of thousands of stones of relief food, were enough for the people to survive the disaster year safely, but why did this spring become like this? situation?

Local wealthy merchants in Huainan have repeatedly raised grain prices, why did the governor of Huainan never care?Among them, there must be some ulterior secrets.

He was frowning and thinking, when outside the main hall, Ji Ziling came hurriedly, stopped at the bottom of the steps, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the person you sent to follow up with Master Yang has returned, saying that Master Yang has been murdered and silenced. The person who has never shown up."

"There is no need to pay too much attention to the results that have been expected."

Yu Xuanzhen said calmly, and said with a sigh of relief: "Let's ignore other things for the time being. Tomorrow, you set off to Huainan to help Gu investigate the matter of Huainan merchants raising food prices."

Ji Ziling pursed his lips, frowned and said, "Your Highness, you are going to get married in the future, can you wait for your highness to get married before your subordinates leave?"

"Ziling, do you still remember the great enemy of your Ji clan?" Yu Xuanchen frowned deeply, staring at him.

Ji Ziling lowered his head and frowned, secretly clenched the sword in his hand, and said in a heavy tone, "Blood and deep hatred, Ziling will never forget it in this life."

Yu Xuanzhen's expression softened a little, and he took a deep breath and said: "In the future, Gu will definitely let you return to Hanyuan Kingdom to rehabilitate your Ji family. Gu is still a prince now, but the unification of Kyushu has always been Gu's wish "Ziling, you will be Gu's right-hand man, I don't want you to delay the business because of unnecessary things."

"Zi Ling understands."

Ji Ziling's heart tightened, he frowned and nodded, "Early tomorrow morning, my subordinates will set off for Huainan, and investigate the matter as soon as possible."

Yu Xuanzhen frowned and nodded, raised his sleeves, lowered his head and continued to read the booklet.

Ji Ziling pursed his lips, and felt a deep sense of loss in his heart.Even if I have thoughts that I shouldn't have, I still want to watch Yu Xuanzhen marry the concubine with my own eyes.

Although, in his opinion, Xia Ningxi's brutal and disrespectful woman is really not worthy of the position of Princess of the Eastern Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Early in the morning, while Xia Ningxi was sleeping soundly, someone stood at the door and knocked on it non-stop.

She turned over, covered her head impatiently and shouted: "Don't disturb me to sleep, you wake me up at this time. Isn't the wedding held at dusk?"

Standing outside the door was a line of maids holding trays, and the lead bride had a few peach-red silk flowers on her hair, and said with a smile: "Miss San, although the wedding will start at dusk, you always have to prepare earlier. The servants will dress you up and make up, and it will be almost noon. The prince is getting married, and the colorful chariot will always go around the city. How can it be done if you don’t make preparations earlier. "

Slowly lifting the quilt, Xia Ningxi rubbed her hair and sat up, exhaling out of boredom, pointing her finger at Bai Luo who was nestled at the end of the bed: "Come here."

Bai Luo stood up and looked at her, jumped in front of her, and asked, "Sister Xia, do you have something to explain?"

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, leaned over and put her ear next to Bai Luo's, said a few words in a low voice, and the light in her eyes flashed away.

Bai Luo blinked, tilted his head and asked, "Are you sure, King Cheng would do this?"

"He hasn't shown up for a few days, so he must have other ideas. After much deliberation, the best idea is to do this. So, you must take care of Xia Muyao, and absolutely don't let anyone take her away. "

"Well, I'll go right away." Bai Luo nodded solemnly, immediately turned into a burst of white light, and flew away from the window.

Xia Ningxi got up leisurely, put on her clothes, walked to the door and opened her mouth, and glanced at the trays held in the hands of a row of more than a dozen maids, wedding belts, golden hairpins and jade butterflies, exquisite jewelry, and several other styles The pure gold pearl phoenix crown is gorgeous in color and exquisite in workmanship.

Xi Niang saw that she finally opened the door, but her face was still sleepy, she smiled awkwardly, and asked: "Miss hasn't washed yet!"

"Isn't it just a marriage? Do you need to be so nervous? Take your time." Xia Ningxi shook her sleeves disapprovingly, turned around and walked into the room.

Xi Niang hurriedly arranged for someone to prepare hot water, first dismissed everyone, helped her take a bath, put on the bright red and beautiful wedding dress specially arranged by the prince, and then helped her to the dressing table and began to dress up .

Xia Ningxi still looked unmotivated, leaning on the back of the chair absent-mindedly, letting Xi Niang and the maids toss her face and head, not bothering to lift her eyelids.

Today was the prince's wedding, Xia Muyao finally went out and walked along the corridor towards the front yard.

Bai Luo followed her invisibly, walking forward quickly.

From the back garden to the front yard, we passed a secluded place, but today Xia Ningxi got married, and the whole Hou Mansion was full of people coming and going, and there was no mention of where there were fewer people.

Bai Luo couldn't help but feel that Xia Ningxi's worries were unnecessary, there were people everywhere, who would dare to rob the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion openly.

Just as he was lost in thought, the servant girl who was beside Xia Muyao suddenly stopped in her tracks, with a sneering smile on her lips, she raised her elbow, and hit Xia Muyao's back of the neck heavily.

Xia Muyao frowned, her whole body went limp, and she fell crookedly to the ground.

The passers-by found it strange, so the servant girl hurriedly supported her in her arms, and asked pretendingly: "Miss, are you feeling unwell? I will help you back to your room." While speaking, she walked towards the mansion with Xia Muyao Go to the back door.

Bai Luo's heart was shocked, and he quickly raised his vigilance and followed closely.
