MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 507 turning point
Chapter 507 Turnaround
The news that Concubine Wen was pregnant soon spread to the inner palace.
Emperor Ren hurriedly went out, picked up Concubine Wen and was about to go to her palace. The Queen Mother hated her so much, but there was nothing she could do now.
Criminal?
What about the baby in her belly?
What if the crime is not punished?
Where should the majesty of the Queen and Queen Mother be placed?
For a time, it was very difficult to get off the tiger.
The old nun beside her did not dare to say anything at will, so she could only stand quietly. In the inner hall, the queen was still crying out of breath, which made people moved.
Back in the palace, Concubine Wen rested for a long time before she woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Emperor Ren sitting in front of the bed, looking at her excitedly.
She was a little confused. Wasn't she going to be slapped? How did you come back to the palace?
“Your Majesty…”
“You should lie down quickly. You are pregnant and you don’t know how to take good care of yourself. What should you do if you hurt the fetus?”
“Dragon fetus?”
Concubine Wen lowered her head and caressed her still flat belly. Does that mean that the child in her belly saved her life?
Thinking of this, I am really happy for myself.
The two children came at the right time. He already had a second prince who was deeply loved. If there was another prince, it would be uncertain who would win in the harem.
Although the queen now holds the eldest prince, the eldest prince is not very smart and is far behind her second prince. If he accidentally follows in the footsteps of his younger brother, it will be hard to say.
Thinking of this, I felt happy.
But he still had to pretend to be worried and defend himself a few more words.
“I really don’t know. If I knew, I would not stop the queen’s palace servants. I really just hope that your majesty can rest for a while. Now...it’s all my fault.”
While talking, he cried sadly. Emperor Ren was naturally distressed about losing a son, but at the moment, Concubine Wen still had another child in her belly, who might also be a son, so that could comfort him to some extent, so he spoke to comfort him.
"Okay, I know what you mean. I need to be more careful in my behavior in the future. The queen is the queen after all. It is really hard to lose the third prince now. You should behave yourself these days, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty doesn't say anything, but I know it. I don't dare to be arrogant anymore."
As he spoke, he got into Rendi's arms. His charming look made Rendi distraught.
If it hadn’t been for the loss of a son just now, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to make up my mind again.
Soon, the news of the death of the third prince spread throughout the Jin Dynasty, and Prince Ding and his wife who were far away in Jinling City also received the news.
For this reason, Divine Doctor Zhang does not find it strange.
He had seen the third prince from a distance once. At that time, he felt that he might not die soon. Unexpectedly, he really died at such a young age. This royal family is indeed a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. It is scary. Very.
When Feng Jinyao heard the news, she also felt it was a pity.
Childish and innocent, he could obviously live happily in this world, but he chose to join the royal family, and he had to sleep underground at a young age.
As if he felt her emotions, Ding Wang Xiao Tingyi walked to her side, reached out and touched her tall belly and said.
“This king will not let anything happen to you.”
These words are like reassurance, making people feel at ease.
Feng Jinyao also nodded. She had never doubted his words.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will take good care of myself and my children, but I have something to trouble you.”
"What?"
Feng Jinyao handed over the letter sent by her aunt Lin. Xiao Tingyi understood it quickly after reading it and said after a while. "This is not difficult. Yang Xu's wife is from Shuzhou, and she must have many contacts with the Wen family. Maybe you can find out by asking her."
Hearing this, Feng Jinyao felt relieved.
Just wait for the news from Southwest.
Looking up, she saw Xiao Tingyi's face, which had not relaxed since her second brother came back, so Feng Jinyao asked.
“Is the locust plague a difficult matter?”
“Well, the locusts are moving too fast. I thought it would take a month to cross Zhejiang Province, but it has only been less than half a month, and the counties bordering Zhongzhou are already suffering.”
Nowadays, people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are rushing to harvest food. However, when there is not much food in the first place, the trouble caused by locusts is even worse.
Just relying on the Chi family and the Min family, plus the money raised by the wealthy merchants, can solve the problem for a while, but not for a lifetime.
If the people are hungry, trouble will happen again.
The court, which finally calmed down, will cause trouble again?
Feng Jinyao couldn't bear to see Xiao Tingyi so worried, so she told the plan that her second sister-in-law was preparing.
Xiao Tingyi’s brows furrowed even more tightly, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
“If you rely solely on government officials, you won’t be able to defeat it completely, but if all the people are involved, it’s a good idea.”
If the people want to participate, they must be fully prepared.
One is to overcome everyone's fear of the locust army, and the other is that the locusts after being bombed can really fill their stomachs, so that maybe they can gain everyone's approval and participate in it.
The latter one is easy, but the former one is a bit difficult.
“Your Majesty, I have seen beekeepers. The gauze they wear can block even small bees. Perhaps it can block locusts.”
Hearing this, Xiao Tingyi's eyes lit up.
Immediately send someone to find the beekeepers and take their screens over for a look.
As expected, wearing this thing, if nothing else, makes me feel much more comfortable.
So people stepped up to build this gauze.
Some are used for people's clothing, and some are used for catching locusts.
On the other side, Xu Mingyue studied the matter again and again, and also asked many people in the fields. They all said that during the famine years, they had even eaten live insects, let alone fried ones.
So, this method was implemented on a small scale in a certain county.
Who knew the result was unexpectedly good? The fried locusts were sprinkled with salt and chili powder, making them delicious and crispy.
Although he looks more ferocious, when he is hungry, no matter what kind of food it is, as long as he can satisfy his hunger.
So, after this method became feasible, it was promoted in the hardest-hit areas.
Coupled with the gauze prepared in advance, the frightening locust plague was soon alleviated to a great extent.
The news was quickly sent to the capital, and Emperor Ren praised Feng Jinlin and his wife for coming up with this idea.
“Hahaha, you are worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law of Mr. Xu Ge. Such a move that benefits the country and the people is really a good idea that only they can think of.”
The courtiers standing below were naturally happy to support him and talk.
The Feng family is in a hot spot right now, and no one will throw cold water on it.
