Chapter 49
The news of the drought in Linzhou spread, and people in the imperial city were panicked. There were more and more refugees, and food prices also increased.

On the first floor, Bei Jinchuan and Bei Youchen sat facing each other.

The downstairs was noisy, many ladies and wives from aristocratic families came out to give out porridge, there were a large number of refugees, and beggars could be seen everywhere on the street.

Bei Jinchuan looked at the refugees downstairs, their clothes were ragged, their eyes were empty and numb, the porridge place was crowded with people, both adults and children.

"You still have a way to make those old guys obediently give out the silver taels for disaster relief."

Bei Youchen also heard about King Qi's magnificent achievements in the court early in the morning.

He had long been displeased with those guys. He searched for people's fat and people's ointment all day long, and each of them was rich and oily, but he shrank back at every critical moment, and each of them was a moth of the court.

"Oh, silver taels? The silver taels paid by those old guys probably won't be able to buy a cart of grain. The court said it nicely, and then they used one or two bags of grain to perfunctory the matter."

Bei Jinchuan's face turned slightly cold.

"what!"

Bei Youchen slapped the table angrily, he knew that these old guys would not pay money so obediently.

"How dare they?!"

Bei Jinchuan snorted coldly, "Why don't you dare, the price of grain is sky-high now, and a bag of grain is worth a thousand taels."

Bei Youchen choked, unable to refute.

He said the fact that the price of grain is now more expensive than anything else, and it is not surprising that a bag of grain costs a thousand taels.

But now Linzhou is in urgent need of food due to the drought, and the money paid by those old guys is not enough, how can they go to the disaster relief without even a carload of food?

Bei Youchen was worried.

"There is not enough food, so what are you going to do now? Do you need my help?"

Hearing Bei Youchen's worried words, he was slightly stunned. He grew up with this emperor uncle, and the relationship between the two said that they were uncles and nephews, but actually they were more like playmates.

The two of them grew up together. Although they said they grew up together, they didn't play together for long, nor did they have a deep relationship.

He went to the frontier when he was very young, and stayed there alone for six or seven years, no one cared about him, as if he was forgotten in the frontier.

He didn't have much nostalgia for the imperial city, but to his surprise, Bei Youchen was still very enthusiastic towards him, as if there was no barrier of six or seven years.

"No, I have my own way."

Bei Jinchuan's eyelashes flickered slightly, and he refused.

Bei Youchen was not surprised either, he knew this nephew's temperament, he was not good at words, and he liked to carry everything alone.

"Remember to tell me if you need it."

Bei Youchen picked up a glass of wine, with a sincere smile on his clean face.

Bei Jinchuan casually picked up the wine and raised a glass with him, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Ah."

Bei Youchen was serious for less than three seconds before returning to that hippie smiling face.

A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes are as tender as water. When looking at you, it seems that there is a little hook tickling the tip of the heart. From time to time, she winks at the passing maid, making the little maid blush with embarrassment.

Bei Jinchuan was not surprised by his behavior, and found it very boring. Just as he got up and was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a figure downstairs.

The little miracle doctor came very early.

Unknowingly, the eyes were stained with a smile, and even Bei Youchen who was beside him felt his joy.

Then Bei Jinchuan saw that someone's charm was not diminished, even Princess Yongjia came to see him off, the two were talking and laughing, Princess Yongjia seemed to give something like a purse to the boy, and someone just accepted it.

Heh, he dares to take whatever anyone gives him. He likes that ugly purse so much, and he's smiling so happily.

Haven't seen him smiling so happily when he was with this king? !The money-losing king has saved him so many times, you little heartless!
King Qi was unhappy, and Bei Youchen next to him was miserable. He could feel the air pressure on King Qi's body getting lower and lower, and his face became more and more ugly.

The smile on his face was so frightened that he stopped teasing the little girl, and even sat upright, looking like a good baby.

Just a joke, does King Qi dare to move when he is unhappy?He was in a hurry to go out today without an attendant, so he has no one beside him who can share the pressure for him.

Only Du Ruo also followed behind with a blank expression like his master.

He peeked at King Qi's face, seeing his face getting more and more ugly, he muttered in his heart.

Why is the eldest nephew becoming more and more unstable?Could it be that you don't have a daughter-in-law and hold back tight?
He followed Bei Jinchuan's gaze and saw the young man downstairs, and immediately understood.

I said, it turned out to be a little genius doctor, and the elder nephew kept his treasure tight, for fear that others would abduct him.

"I'm talking about Xiao Jin'er, the little miracle doctor is not your soldier, so why are you so strict? For a boy of sixteen or seventeen, it's normal for him to occasionally talk to a little girl when he's young... Hey, Where are you going?"

Bei Youchen was still talking endlessly there, when he looked up, he saw that Bei Jinchuan had disappeared.

He hastily chased after her.

Downstairs, Jiang Hou's master and servant are waiting for King Qi and then leave Beijing together.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yongjia would come to see him off.

Bei Jiuji looked at the young man in front of him, dressed in white, unparalleled in the world.

She also heard a lot of news about the young man in the palace, and she also knew that King Qi was assassinated. She is not stupid, she vaguely guessed it from the fact that her brother, mother and concubine were grounded.

Today, when I heard that the boy was leaving Beijing for Linzhou, she begged the teacher for a long time before finally agreeing to take her out of the palace.

The purse was rushed and finally dared to embroider it before the boy left Beijing, but she didn't have the courage to send it out when she met the boy's cold eyes.

"What's the important thing for the princess to come here?"

Bei Jiuji blushed, and timidly took out the purse hidden in the palm of her hand.

"This is?"

Jiang Yu looked at the purse made of fine brocade in front of him, with a little doubt in his cold eyes,

The purse was crookedly embroidered like a small piece of bamboo, and a wooden character was thinly embroidered with golden thread beside the bamboo.

Bei Jiuji saw that the boy didn't pick it up for a long time, so she was heartbroken and put the purse directly into the boy's hand.

"That... I picked it up on the road, and I gave it to you."

Bei Jiuji wanted to bite off her own tongue, what are they talking about! ! !

It's over, he wouldn't really think it was picked up on the road, but this princess embroidered it herself, woo woo woo~

Bei Jiuji maintained her calmness on her face and raised her chin slightly, but from the corner of her eye she kept secretly watching the boy's reaction.

Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, looking at the purse in his hand, he could still feel the residual warmth on it with his fingertips lightly touching it.

Touching the needle and thread on the purse, she could feel the hard work and dedication of the people who embroidered the purse.

Originally, she wanted to refuse, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the little girl secretly looking at her. The uneasiness in her eyes made her take back the words that came to her lips.

She bent the corner of her eyes and put the purse on her waist, "Thank you, Your Highness, the purse is very beautiful."

With a swipe, Bei Jiuji's face turned red, and her arrogance was instantly extinguished.

"No...you're welcome."

Pei Lanze watched coldly from behind, and the already cold aura became even colder.

"Is this why the princess begged me to take you out of the palace?"

The voice was cold, and the frozen Bei Jiuji suddenly recovered from her shyness, and looked at him with some guilt.

"That national teacher, I..."

She faltered and couldn't explain clearly, and then she saw Pei Lanze snort coldly and walk away.

She stood there blankly, looking at his retreating back, a little dazed, it seemed that this was the first time the national teacher was angry with her.

No matter how playful or mischievous she was before, the national teacher would not be really angry, but this time he seemed to be really angry.

Bei Jiuji felt overwhelmed for the first time.
