Proton Consort

Chapter 31

As the morning light came in, Hong Xin frowned, then opened his eyes, saw Xiang Xun who was still sleeping soundly, smiled silently, and gently covered Xiang Xun with the cloak on the back of the chair.Staring at it for a while, Hong Xin couldn't look away, and slowly reached out to caress Xiang Xun's cheek. Just like this, Hong Xin already felt extremely happy.

"My son-in-law, all the officials are here this morning, you need to preside over the overall situation together with the princess." The annoying eunuch came in twisting his waist, looked at Xiang Xun, Hong Xin, and a jar of wine several times, raised his voice, with a strange air of yin and yang, "Hey, the concubine's life is really chic. Would you like me to prepare sober tea for you? The princess is still waiting for you! You are very chic!"

Xiang Xun was woken up by such a high-pitched voice a long time ago, with two fingers pushing, the empty wine jar was smashed in front of the eunuch, the old eunuch was angry and frightened, his face turned blue and white.

"go out!"

The old eunuch tremblingly raised his finger to Xun, and then pointed to Hong Xin, "I have never seen such a righteous thing after doing something shameful, I have never seen it..."

"Boom!" The flying wine bowl cut off the hat on the eunuch's head, the old eunuch was still gnashing his teeth, but before throwing another bowl at Xun, he was already crying and fled out the door in fright.

In the East Palace, Wan Ming looked sleepy, and was being dressed by Xiao Wu and the maids. After one night, her eyes were full of exhaustion and haggardness.

"Princess, do you not have a good rest, your face is a little pale, is there any discomfort?"

The delicate light makeup can slightly cover Wan Ming's tired face, and Xiao Wu is worried about Wan Ming's body.

"It's okay, Xiao Wu, I'll ask someone to bring more quilts over later."

Jingdi is close to the sea, and the wind and cold at night are completely different from the scorching heat of the day. This is something Wan Ming did not expect, and it is difficult for her to adapt when she is new here.

"Princess, are you cold when you fall asleep at night? Damn Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was negligent..."

"Princess!!" The eunuch who had suffered from Xiang Xun scrambled and knelt down in front of Wanming, "Princess, the son-in-law has a bad style. Last night, I was with the woman I brought back from the street. We drank together until today. Morning. The slave kindly reminded the son-in-law to get up early, but was beaten out by the son-in-law, please ask the princess to make the decision for the slave!"

The court ladies looked at each other, Xiao Wu was pondering the truth of the eunuch's words, while slandering the eunuch in front of her for being clueless, no matter whether it was true or not, Wan Ming would lose face by yelling like this.

Wan Ming turned around and looked at the aggrieved eunuch, "Eunuch Liu, I will deal with this matter after I have seen all the officials. In addition, you should be careful in handling things and step down first."

Eunuch Liu's face froze, he didn't dare to complain any more, and bent down to kowtow.

"Princess", before sending one away, another one came, Wan Ming's premonition was not good, "Princess Qi, the son-in-law and the servant of the household department are fighting in the main hall."

It coincided with Wan Ming's worry, but Wan Ming didn't expect Xiang Xun to move so fast, and immediately rushed to the main hall.

Now the Minister of the Household Department of Jing Province is none other than Xiang Yin, the second prince who fled from the original Jing country and was captured.The person who murdered his father and rebelled and destroyed the country can still enjoy the salary of a high official, no wonder Xiang Xun is so angry.

He was punched three times by Xiang Xun head-on, and Xiang Xun's mouth was already covered in blood.Xiang Xun was not the one who knew he was wrong and didn't fight back, but his skills were not as good as others, so he couldn't hurt Xiang Xun.The guards of the original dynasty did not help either side, and regarded the fight between the two brothers as a good show.

"Xiang Xun, look at how they see us?!" Xiang Xun, who was grabbed by the collar by Xiang Xun, looked around, "They are reading a joke, we are two of us, we are fighting among ourselves, the happiest thing is them!"

Xiang Xun slapped Xiang Yun's shoulder with a palm. Xiang Xun's legs lost strength and he knelt down.

"Do you still care about people like you? Do you still have the nerve to talk to me about your own people and outsiders?! When you raised your troops to rebel, when you poisoned your father and forced the palace, when you surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty to express your favor , do you remember your last name? Do you still know that you are a human being?"

"Hehe, what about you?" Xiang Ting pressed his chest and got up, looking at Xiang Xun contemptuously, "The Yuan Dynasty appointed me an official, what about you? Prince-in-law, hehe, is the princess of the Yuan Dynasty beautiful? Do you overwhelm the country? You have become someone else’s son-in-law, and you still pretend to be aloof with dignity, and tell me the best of both loyalty and filial piety! Xiang Xun, let me tell you, no matter how brazen I am, I am no match for you. It’s my turn after you scold me all over! You’ve been more capable than me since you were a child, indeed, even the reward you got after becoming a traitor is bigger than me, what else can I say, huh?”

Xiang Yan approached Xiang Xun step by step, and punched Xiang Xun on the right side of the cheek, "Pretend to show someone who doesn't understand, isn't that what you want?"

Xiang Xun, who was making progress, made another shot but was blocked by Xiang Xun, and pushed a few steps away rudely.The arrival of Wan Ming ended the war that the two were ready to wage.

"My son-in-law, the reason why I invited the servant of the household department to come is because the land re-division in Jing province is imminent. Please don't obstruct me."

On the scene, Wan Ming had no choice but to say so.

Xiang Yin bowed his hand and bowed to Wanming. His flattering gesture was disgusting. Xiang Xun couldn't buy Wanming's account, "Just ask me about anything in the local area. I really don't know what idle people know about money and valley tributes." How much do you know about politics?"

"Heh", Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Xun and sneered, "I forgot, it's really a shame for someone who can rule the world in Jing Province to be a son-in-law!"

Wan Ming showed displeasure, and all the officials were left hanging in front of the palace for a long time. Wan Ming's tone became a little tougher, "The son-in-law followed the palace into the palace to discuss matters, and the servant of the household department avoided it."

Now the fights are over, and the people watching the fun are back. Right and wrong are not suitable for spreading rumors after all.

Because of the war, many people abandoned farming. They lived on planting crops, mainly eating rice and millet. The division and reorganization of farmland became a top priority.Anyway, this is a measure that can solve the food problem of the people. Xiang Xun, who knows what is beneficial to the people in Jingdi, will not keep silent, and Wan Ming is also relieved.

"The farmland in the east of the city has a sloping terrain with a steep slope. The land is washed away during the flood period, and the water is lost during the drought period. Therefore, the grain output cannot increase every year, and the people are also suffering. Therefore, it is particularly important to build reservoirs and dig ditches. Water, irrigation in dry season, the problem can be improved. Besides, the north of the city..."

"yawn!"

Wan Ming's soft sneeze interrupted Xiang Xun, Xiang Xun looked up at Wan Ming, Xiao Wu had already handed Wan Ming a silk handkerchief, "Princess, you may have caught a cold, or we can discuss it another day, go back and drink a bowl of ginger Soup drives away the cold."

"No need", Wan Ming's eyes were red, and she still motioned to Xiang Xun to continue, "What are the deficiencies in the land in the north of the city?"

Wan Ming's overly fair face had an unusual rosy color, she was wearing thin clothes early in the morning, and the cloak was brought by Xiao Wu later, she might really be sick.Xiang Xun pondered for a while before continuing with the previous words, slowing down his speech and paying attention to Wan Ming's expression from time to time.The ending was rushed, and it was impossible for Wan Ming not to notice it.

"And that's the end? What are your thoughts on reassignment?"

"I can't explain it for a while, I will write a notebook, and you and your ministers can refer to it."

Xiang Xun looked impatient and walked away.Xiao Wu persuaded Wan Ming to go back to the palace to rest, Wan Ming looked at every mark Xiang Xun carefully left on the topographic structure map of the city, and nodded.

Xiang Xun stayed in the study room where he stayed last night, and the person who found him changed from Hong Xin to Hong Shichang.

"Brother, I'm sorry, my little sister didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Hong Shichang was more serious, but Xiang Xun couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, after drinking two glasses of wine, my head is a little heavy, but it's not a problem."

"There are a lot of gossip in the palace, and I'm afraid that my little sister will bring you trouble."

Hong Shichang obviously heard the gossip in the palace, he was not worried about Hong Xin first, but cared about Xiang Xun's situation, this trust and loyalty, Xiang Xun regarded as priceless treasure.

"Brother Hong, don't worry, you won't be afraid of the shadow if you are upright."

"That is, that is," Hong Shichang nodded, "I believe in your character, brother."

Just as he was talking, a familiar face entered the door and knelt down in front of Xiang Xun, "Your servant sees your son-in-law, son-in-law."

"Fusheng?" Xiang Xun pulled up the person on the ground, "Why are you here?"

"Yes, it was the princess who asked them to release me. The princess said that the son-in-law lacks a caring person to serve me, so that the servant can take care of me according to your usual habits."

"She told you personally?"

Xiang Xun asked the question knowingly, if such words were conveyed by someone, the relationship between Wan Ming and Xiang Xun would lead to speculation.Presumably Wan Ming took Xiang Xun's anger at Eunuch Liu to heart, and Xiang Xun couldn't make a turn right now.

Ye didn't know why he came so early, from meeting Fu Sheng in the afternoon to now standing outside the East Palace Gate, Xiang Xun had spent several hours without realizing it.

When Xiang Xun wanted to step in, he heard a gentle and familiar male voice.

"Doctor, how is the princess?"

"Oh, don't worry, Master Ren. The princess has contracted a cold. She will recover after taking the medicine. I will write the prescription first, and then I will send someone to fetch the medicine."

Ren Baishui made a gesture of invitation, asked the old doctor to sit down, and called Xiao Wu over, "Xiao Wu, there are thousand-year-old ginseng in it, you can make tea or stew soup, so that the princess can nourish her body."

"Thank you, sir, for your concern." Xiao Wu looked at Wan Ming lying on the bed through the gauze curtain, "This is a foreign country, fortunately, there is an adult, and he invited the imperial physician and gave ginseng, otherwise the princess's illness would be so difficult. .”

Ren Baishui smiled, "And Lai Xiaowu, take good care of the princess and let her get better soon. If there is anything wrong, you can tell me again."

Xiang Xun seemed to have no need to go in, so he pursed his lips, stepped back and turned to leave.
