Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 560
Going all the way, finally came to Sleeping Phoenix Hall, Tong Xiaowu was busy, when he heard that Princess Mu was coming, he put down his work and came to the main hall to meet her.

"The concubine sees the empress..." Concubine Mu leaned down and bowed to her.

"Get down quickly, Princess Mu, why are you free today, come to see me in the palace?" Tong Xiaowu asked someone to prepare melon and fruit tea, and sat on the main seat by herself, while Xiao Mumu stretched out her hand to look for her. He hugged him.

"Empress, please help the eldest princess?" After saying that, Princess Mu knelt down on the ground again.

Tong Xiaowu hastily handed the child to the nurse on the side, and stepped forward to help her up, "Why did the princess say that, speak up if you have something to say..."

So Princess Mu told the whole story about how the eldest princess broke into the imperial study room this morning. She didn't say anything about Tong Xiaowu. She knew it was the emperor's taboo. If she did, she might return will be implicated.

"Empress, although the eldest princess is arrogant, she is definitely not a collaborator and traitor. Even if you lend her eight guts, she would not dare."

Although Princess Mu didn't say that this incident was related to Tong Xiaowu, but when she heard the word Zhi Minglin, she knew that this incident had absolutely something to do with herself.

"Princess, don't worry, I will go to the front hall to have a look..."

Tong Xiaowu said, but she felt very awkward in her heart. She knew that her experience in Zuili would be used by some people. She didn't expect to come so soon. She didn't know that Xuanyuan Yuchen heard about it How did you feel afterwards?

Would he despise himself? Although she hadn't done anything cheating, she had to admit that during the time she was drunk and away, she had made a lot of compromises and done a lot for them.

Although many of the things she did were aimed at making Zui Li worse, but if this matter got out, who would believe it?
Now I heard that there have been rumors in the market that when I was in Beizhou, I was not actually in Beizhou, but was snatched away by Zui Li.

It's just that everyone is afraid of the emperor's power now, and seeing that he treats them well, so they dare not speak out. I didn't expect the eldest princess to come forward today. She is stupid enough.

However, Prince Mu and Concubine Prince Mu treated her very well, and the eldest princess was the younger sister of Prince Mu's mother. For their sake, she naturally wanted to help her with this favor.

A group of people cheered out of the Sleeping Phoenix Hall. As soon as they left the entrance of the hall, they saw a few eunuchs standing there shivering. It had just snowed two days ago, and it was cold these two days.

They stood there, holding quilts in their hands, tightly wrapped in something.

"What are you doing?" Tong Xiaowu stopped.

When the eunuchs saw their master coming out, they knelt together!
"Back to the empress, these were sent by the emperor's servants. They were transported from Buzhou. These are plum blossoms, red plums, yellow plums, and white plums, all of them are there, empress." The old eunuch on the side said flatteringly, Smiles all over his face.

"It's cold here, empress, otherwise the servants will move this in!"

"How much does it cost to transport this tree here?" Tong Xiaowu asked in a calm tone, without any emotion.

"Mrs. Hui, this, this should be about 2000 taels of silver?" The old eunuch said.

"2000 taels?" Liukeshu is [-] taels. If she stays, this matter will spread throughout the capital, and many people may follow suit. It is time-consuming and laborious, but it will not benefit people's livelihood at all.

If you don't keep it, this flower tree will probably die if you send it back to Buzhou, but temporary cruelty is better than future troubles.

"I don't want it in this palace, take it all away, there are plum blossoms in the harem, and there are also plum blossoms in the temples outside the city, but they bloom a month later than in Buzhou, why bother with these useless ones, take them away..." After finishing speaking, Tong Xiaowu stepped up walk forward.

"Empress, this, this is the emperor's wish!"

"I don't want it if I don't want it. With this money, it's better to open Qinzhou's water storage kiln. Qinzhou has rainy winter and spring every year, and summer and autumn drought. Opening a water storage kiln can effectively solve Qinzhou's winter and spring waterlogging. I don’t know how many times better the drought in summer and autumn is, so what if I wait a month later for a plum blossom?”

Tong Xiaowu stopped and said this, then walked away again.

Princess Mu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Empress Empress Shengde, this method is really possible. In this way, it may solve the problem of crop failure in Qinzhou due to summer drought all year round. Empress, you are so kind!" Smart!"

Tong Xiaowu smiled, the two came to the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Yuchen was discussing state affairs with the minister, she stood outside and was not in a hurry to be informed, and said that it would be fine to wait a while.

The young lady standing outside listened to the words and did not move. After all, after what happened in the morning, the emperor also sent a message. There is no urgent matter and no one can disturb her.

So, at this time, a group of female relatives stood outside and waited.

Concubine Mu looked at Tong Xiaowu, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She became the queen of Xuanyuan, which is really a blessing for the common people.

However, for some reason, she never saw her smile when she entered the palace these few times. Although there were many polite smiles, the smile she used to have when she was a princess in Beizhou was gone.

Finally, when Eunuch Wu asked someone to fill the tea, he saw Tong Xiaowu and the others standing outside, and hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, the Empress is here, so I just waited outside, it looks like I've been standing there for a while! "

"Hurry up and let her come in. A few lovers will go back first, and this matter is settled." Xuanyuan Yuchen stood up and greeted her out.

Everyone didn't expect that the emperor came out to greet her personally, "Queen, why don't you let me know when you're here, come in quickly, Princess Mu is also here, come in!"

"Your Majesty..." Tong Xiaowu didn't go inside, and knelt on the ground on the spot. "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is a member of the royal family, please forgive me..."

When Xuanyuan Yuchen heard this, the expression on his face turned cold, "She had an affair with a foreign country and betrayed Xuanyuan, which is a capital crime, how could she be exonerated just because of the Queen's words, if that's the case, Will anyone in Xuanyuan be exempted from punishment as long as the queen speaks?"

After saying this, Xuanyuan Yuchen looked coldly at Tong Xiaowu in front of him. She is the queen and had to intercede for the eldest princess, but he is her husband. If he can't even protect her, then he is worthy to be her man in the future .

"The concubine knows that the eldest princess is not looking for Zhi Minglin for national affairs, but because of the concubine. This matter is the concubine's fault. The concubine is willing to lower her status and plead for the princess!"

"Queen..."

Xuanyuan Yuchen didn't expect that Tong Xiaowu would surrender his status in front of the new minister and Princess Mu?
