Chapter 331 Meeting the Grand Prince
Xue Qing lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside. At this time, the eldest prince Zhou Qian, wearing a brocade robe, walked in slowly. He was tall and straight, with a dignified demeanor. He walked to the front of the imperial desk and knelt down respectfully: "Your son greets your father."
The emperor raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to be polite."
Then, the emperor introduced Xue Qing to the eldest prince, "This is Miss Xia, who grows crops such as corn and potatoes, and has made a great contribution to the country's grain supply."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qing bowed to the eldest prince and said softly, "I greet the eldest prince."
When she raised her head and looked at the eldest prince, she was stunned. Zhou Qian saw surprise in her eyes, and then hatred. Zhou Qian frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts.
The emperor sensed something strange, glanced at Xue Qing, and said, "You may leave." Xue Qing bowed again, and was led out of the palace by the eunuch.
Outside the palace gate, Wu Yu was already waiting. He was dressed in a long robe and had a slender figure like a pine tree. When he saw Xue Qing coming out, he immediately went to greet him.
Seeing Xue Qing's bad face, Wu Yu did not ask any more questions, but just accompanied her to the carriage silently. Along the way, both of them were silent.
After returning home, Wu Yu finally couldn't help asking, "Qing'er, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Xue Qing was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "It's okay, I'll go back first." Then he turned and walked towards his yard.
The gold bestowed by the emperor was delivered to the general's mansion by the eunuchs in the palace.
Xue Qing returned to the yard, and found that the space had regained its entry and exit function since he didn't know when.
When I entered the space, the original owner was still lying there.
Xue Qing sat in the yard, looking at everything in front of him, pinched himself hard, and quickly let go. It hurt so much!
Not a dream.
When I saw the eldest prince today, I was shocked, filled with hatred, and the past came flooding back to my mind.
Xue Qing became more and more suspicious, was that really his memory?
The person whom I loved with all my heart betrayed and insulted me, and in the end, even lost his life.
Is it true that he and I are destined to be together in two lifetimes?
If I don't have any emotional entanglement with him in this life, will it rewrite the ending of another life?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I must not have anything to do with him in this life.
Annoying.
When she woke up the next day, Liu looked at Xue Qing's dark circles and said, "Qing'er, what happened to you? You look so haggard."
Xue Qing sat down at the table and said, "It's okay. The emperor rewarded me with 100 taels of gold yesterday. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."
Ding laughed at her: "Qing'er is too happy. What will we do if the emperor gives us something else?"
Xue Qing raised his eyes and looked upward: "It depends on what the reward is. What if it's a handsome man..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Yu came in with a dark face.
The breakfast was extremely depressing.
At this time, the Zhenguogong Mansion
Xia Xuelian was lying on the couch, and Xiaoqing reported to her what Wang Yong had found out: "Wu Yu from General Dingyuan's mansion was originally from Shilibao Village, Anyang. His mother was surnamed Liu, and his eldest sister-in-law was surnamed Ding. The woman was General Dingyuan's fiancée, named Wu Qing."
Seeing Xia Xuelian's face was very ugly, she couldn't help but tell the rest of the story: "Also... She planted a kind of crop on her farm outside Beijing, which was highly praised by the emperor and she was rewarded with 100 taels of gold..."
Xia Xuelian's pale fingertips trembled, and she picked up the water cup on the small table and hit Xiaoqing.
The cup brushed past Xiaoqing's shoulder and fell to the ground.
"Bitch" Xia Xuelian bit her back teeth.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing squatted down to pick up the debris on the ground, and ignored the scratches on her hands.
In the side room, Nanny Li, with a look of heartache in her eyes, applied medicine to bandage Xiaoqing's scratched hand.
"Mammy," Xiaoqing's eyes were gloomy.
"I understand." Nanny Li patted Xiaoqing's shoulder with pity.
Nanny Li waited Xia Xuelian to bed, and Xia Xuelian told her about Xue Qing's life experience; "Mammy, do you know who Xia Xueqing is?"
The nanny shook her head. "That was the daughter of my adoptive parents. When she was little, she was a little bit unruly, but she was very obedient to me and Mother Xia. But later, my adoptive parents married her to the Wu family. Not long after, she fell down the hillside and almost died. Mother Xia and I went to visit her. Her temperament changed drastically. She even beat and scolded Mother Xia. Mother Xia was really sad, and we stopped communicating afterwards."
The nanny said flatteringly: "This Xia Xueqing is really unruly. I think she must be jealous of the young lady's background and beauty."
Xia Xuelian felt relieved after hearing this, but she was puzzled and said to herself: "My sister has never been able to read since she was a child, how does she know all this?"
The nanny rolled her eyes and said, "In that case, could it be that he is possessed by a demon?"
Xia Xuelian's eyes lit up, and she looked at Mammy with a smile in her eyes: "Mammy, what do you mean?"
Mammy smiled awkwardly: "After all, she is your sister who has been with you for many years. I have no ill intentions."
Xia Xuelian held her hand and said, "Mammy, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now I think about it, my sister has become a different person since she fell down. She is ruthless and cruel. I remember that she had a bad memory when she was a child. She couldn't remember many things even if Mother Xia told her more than ten times. Now she suddenly knows how to farm. This is really incredible!"
The nanny looked at Xia Xuelian with an unclear look in her eyes. "I just don't know if Xia Xueqing would be in danger if the emperor knew that she was possessed by a demon! The emperor is most sensitive about such things."
Xia Xuelian whispered a few words into the nanny's ear, and then she fell asleep. This was the most sound sleep she had had in these days.
next day
At Youranju, some people were talking about Miss Xia Xueqing who was recently rewarded by the emperor while eating: "Have you heard that Miss Xia Xueqing is extremely smart. This time, Lord Duan, the Minister of Agriculture, said that the whole Zhou Dynasty will grow corn and potatoes in the future, and our people will not go hungry anymore."
"Yes, this Miss Xia Xueqing must be a fairy from heaven who has come down to earth."
A tall and thin man walked in from the door, sat next to the two of them, and said, "What do you know? You call her a fairy? I think she is possessed by a demon."
The two people who had just spoken glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that the two did not believe him at all, the tall and thin man continued, "Listen to me, this Xia Xueqing is from Anyang City, right?"
The other two nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Anyang City is very wealthy now."
The two looked envious.
The tall and thin man continued, "I have a distant relative who is from Anyang. It is said that although Xia Xueqing was a little willful, she was still filial. Later, she became a child bride to a man named Wu. She hit her head once and her temperament changed drastically. She became cruel and beat and scolded her own parents. Oh! I still remember that there was another snowstorm in Anyang two years ago, and several nearby counties were also hit by snowstorms. It is said that it was because Xia Xueqing was possessed by a demon, so God punished her!"
