Xiao Yan stopped and glanced at him.

"What do you think of Yang Yixian?"

Xing Gao lowered his head and said, "Naturally, you can suppress as much as you can, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all staring at us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at the food box in Xiao Yan's hand, and suddenly became interested.

"Hey! My lord, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, isn't this the zongzi you brought us?"

"..."

Xiao Yan ignored him and went straight in.

Xing Gao put a cold face on his buttocks, and followed up resentfully.

Almost all officials from the household department at all levels were present, except Jiang Anqing, who presumably was unable to bear the pain of losing his son.

Xiao Yan sat on the main seat and drank tea.

"Presumably, you already know about the Sanwu, what do you think?"

Sitting on the right side, Yang Yixian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the household department is short of money now. A while ago, a lot of money was allocated for the locust plague, and the annual hunting is even more expensive. I am afraid that the local disaster relief funds will be suppressed again and again."

Xing Gao nodded in agreement, "The people affected by the disaster this time are very large, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

"Sanwu is a land rich in aquatic products. The hurricane has a great influence, and the silver has to be allocated. It cannot be suppressed again and again."

"But the household department really can't afford the money!"

Xiao Yan's eyes softened slightly, and he said: "The people's livelihood is so sad, it is true that we should not forcefully suppress the disaster relief funds, and we will make a conclusion after the emperor summons. Although the Ministry of Households can't provide much money, private fundraising can give it a try, everyone. What do you think?"

"That's what the lord said."

The officials of the Ministry of Finance said in unison.

After some discussion, the officials withdrew from the hall one after another and performed their duties.

After Xiao Yan reviewed the official document submitted by Yang Yixian, he opened the mahogany carved food box.

On the first floor, a letter was pressed against a crystal clear glass bead.

On the second floor, there are two zongzi that are not so good-looking...

Open the letter and take a look.

"Teacher, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It's a pity that I'm still under confinement, so I can't come out to meet the Taifu. It's a pity to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, enjoy the dragon boat, and eat rice dumplings. Therefore, I made two rice dumplings, one sweet and one salty. Please Taifu tasting."

Xiao Yan's deep eyes were dyed with a layer of tenderness, like the spring breeze blowing in March, melting the cold mountain peak.

The letter was closed and put in the sleeve pocket.

The slender palm picked up one of the green rice dumplings, gently peeled it off, and took a bite.

It's salty, soft and delicate, obviously salty, but he can still taste a touch of unexplained sweetness from it, as if the sweetness came from his heart.

Since childhood, he liked to eat salty rice dumplings, but his mother didn't remember that he liked salty rice dumplings. She always made sweet rice dumplings for him according to his brother's taste, and never took his liking to heart.

Later, the father wanted to choose one of the many heirs to go to the state of Chu. The person he originally chose was his younger brother, but because the queen mother was partial, he was replaced by him.

He left his hometown at such a young age and came to an ordinary family in Tingzhou. This family took good care of him at first, but the guards accompanying him reported the matter to his mother, and the family was ruined overnight. Tragic.

Perhaps during this period of time, although he couldn't see Meng Qing, he received letters written by her every day, and even made rice dumplings for him. This was the first time he felt that he was valued.

Xing Gao happened to come in to spoil the scenery at this time, he raised his eyebrows.

"My lord, you are eating alone behind our backs!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were red.

"roll."

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go!"

After all, Xing Gao ran away in a flash.

Not long after, an official hurried in and saluted.

"Xiao Shangshu, the emperor called urgently."

"understood."

He put down the zongzi, packed them up, and set off for the palace.

The road is bustling, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. There are sellers of rice dumplings, realgar wine, and dragon boat sugar paintings on the street.

Xiao Yan lifted the curtain and looked out, the pedestrians on the road were walking leisurely, clean and at ease.

Coincidentally, the words "Suiyunxuan" were written on the shop, without thinking about it, he said, "Stop."

Zhong Qing let out a long "Hoo--" before the carriage stopped steadily.

Xiao Yan got out of the carriage and walked towards Suiyunxuan. The business in the shop was booming, and the shopkeepers were diligent. Someone greeted him before he entered the door.

The guy looked at him left and right, Fengshen Xiuche had an extraordinary appearance, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Think carefully, yes!A few days ago, when the three princesses came to make trouble, it was this adult who came to persuade them!

Looking at it at the time, this gentleman's rank should not be low, he must be a high official.

"My lord, please come inside."

When he stepped over the threshold, the girls in the shop looked sideways, all marveling at his face.

"My lord, our family's rouge is the first-class rouge in Yujing. Do you want to give some to your wife or..."

Xiao Yan just glanced at the several types of rouge on the booth, and said, "I want those."

Seeing the business coming, the guy couldn't keep his mouth shut for joy.

"Okay, I'll ask the shopkeeper to wrap it up for you."

"Ah."

"Sit down a bit."

The man put all the rouge he wanted in an exquisite wooden carved box and handed it to him.

After Zhong Que paid, he followed Xiao Yan and left.

Qingluan Palace.

The courtyard was full of laughter and laughter, and many green leaves of the peach trees fell down, and the peaches were pink and tender when they matured.

Lingyu climbed the ladder to pick peaches, and threw all the peaches into the basket in Xiaonanzi's hand.

Meng Qing was playing Touhu with Yunhe and the others.

At this time, someone knocked on the glazed gate of Qingluan Palace, "Sister Lingyu!"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the door, and they stopped laughing.

Lingyu hugged the corner of the long ladder, jumped down from the ladder in twos and ran over.

"coming!"

She leaned into the gap of the glazed door, "But is there a letter from your lord?"

The eunuch shook his head.

"No, my lord sent this here, sister Lingyu opened the door."

Lingyu reacted swiftly, and removed the latch, opening a small gap.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"This is for His Highness, Your Excellency."

"Okay, Sheller!"

The eunuch left in a hurry after delivering the things.

Holding the big box, Lingyu staggered to Meng Qing step by step.

"This……"

Yun He looked it up and down, and said, "Your Highness, why is this very similar to Sui Yunxuan's box?"

"Xiao Luzi said that this was sent in by the adults for His Highness."

Meng Qing bent down to look at it carefully, and when she opened it, a dazzling array of rouge boxes were revealed, one layer after another, almost every color was used once, it was really beautiful.

Lingyu's mouth was almost stuffed with an egg.

"Your Highness, my lord has sent you all of Rouge's family. Have you used up all of it?"

Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.

Meng Qing said with a smile: "Let's lift it up to the sleeping hall."

"Yes."
