Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 504: Heavy Snow (2)
"Mom, can't we wait for Dad to have dinner together?"
Sister Xuan's voice is tender and sweet.
Before Lu Mingyu could say anything, Brother Jue glanced at his sister with disgust: "Dad is busy with business, how can he accompany us to dinner every day."
Sister Xuan is also a stubborn and stubborn little girl. She pouted and said, "Dad answered me in the morning and will definitely come back. I will wait for Daddy to come back with me."
Brother Jue thought about it and said, "My mother is pregnant, so she can't help being hungry. You wait for your father to come back, and I will accompany my mother to eat first."
Sister Xuan nodded: "Alright!"
Lu Mingyu was amused and chuckled.
After a year, Brother Huang and Sister Xuan jumped up a bit. It is very interesting to look at imitating adults to speak everywhere.
Sister Xuan was detained in the house for a few days and couldn't go out to have fun. I want to go out and have a look.
Lu Mingyu said something to stop her: "Sister Xuan, the snow is too deep outside and it's extremely cold, don't run outside."
Sister Xuan is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid of her own mother. Lu Mingyu glanced over, and Sister Xuan stopped immediately, and turned her head obediently back. However, a small mouth is pouted.
Qiyun hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Sister Xuan and coaxed: "When the snow stops, the servant will let someone clean up the snow under the porch. Then, go out and build a snowman."
Sister Xuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Qiyun replied with a smile: "Of course it's true, when did the servant lie to you?"
Brother Jue immediately put his head close: "I want to build a snowman too."
Qiyun said with a smile: "Of course, the two little princes each build a snowman. You can also use snow to build rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. You can build whatever you like!"
The two children were coaxed to the fullest of joy.
Lu Mingyu watched this scene with warmth in her heart.
At this moment, Li Jing stepped forward.
Lu Mingyu stood up to greet him, reaching out to brush the snow off his shoulders.
Li Jing restrained his thoughts, held Lu Mingyu's hand, and sighed in a low voice: "This is the biggest snowfall in ten years. Although the snow scene is beautiful, it is a great experience for the common people. natural disaster."
When Lu Mingyu heard this, she frowned and took a deep look at Li Jing: "My father sent you to leave Beijing for disaster relief?"
Just a guess.
Li Jingjing nodded: "Pi County and Zheng County sent urgent reports to Beijing, and the snowstorm was severe. The emperor ordered me to go to Zheng County to preside over the disaster relief, and Li Hao went to Pi County. I want to go to the military division of the five cities and urge the soldiers to clean up the official roads."
"I discussed with Zizhan and the others just now that Zhao Rui will stay in the East Palace, Zizhan Zhouli and Li Yan will go with me to Pi County. We will leave in two days."
In such a case, as the Prince of Wei, you should be the first to charge.
Emperor Yongjia did not detain Li Jing in the capital, but sent an errand. It can be seen that although he is dissatisfied with the indifference to the East Palace, he has finally taken care of his dignity.
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and said, "I'll pack your luggage for you tomorrow. I'll take care of everything in the East Palace. You can go to Pi County as an errand. Don't worry about our mother and son."
Li Jing stretched out his hand and touched Lu Mingyu's growing belly: "Don't work too hard, take care of your baby. You can get there in three days from Pi County. If everything goes well, I'll be back in less than a month. ."
Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed.
Brother Jue and Sister Xuan approached, and the two of them burrowed into their father's arms together.
Li Jing cheered up and hugged his children with a smile. Both of them were heavy and well-dressed, and it was not easy to hold one of them. Not to mention holding two together.
However, the two children especially liked being held like this, head-to-head and face-to-face, giggling.
Listening to the crunchy laughter of the children, Li Jingxin was almost melted, and smiled and kissed the little faces of the children: "I'm hungry! Let's go, let's have dinner together."
Sister Xuan let out a coquettish sigh, and stretched out her little hand to wrap her arms around her father's neck. Brother Jue was not to be outdone, and reached out to hug him.
Li Jingle laughed.
Lu Mingyu also pursed her lips and smiled.
……
Early next morning, the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.
Li Jing and Lu Mingyu brought their children to Jiaofangdian to greet them.
Queen Qiao was very distressed when she saw the children's little faces were red from the cold, and said angrily: "In this weather, just stay in the East Palace, why did you come here to ask for peace? What if you fall and freeze? What to do? And you, the snowy road is slippery, what are you doing walking around? Taking good care of your tires is the greatest filial piety to this palace."
Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "The children have been bored in the East Palace for a few days, and they are going to come out early. The snow stopped today, and I happened to take them to Jiaofang Palace to spend most of the day. I happened to be bothering my mother to take the area, so I also It can be light for half a day.”
The Queen Qiao was very happy, and immediately smiled: "You just go and rest."
After a few jokes, Queen Qiao instructed Li Jing again, such as "be careful when gliding on the road in cold weather" and "take care of your body when you are on business", etc.
Li Jing was quite patient and responded with a smile.
The fourth prince personally went to the military division of the five cities, ordered 3,000 soldiers, and spent two days and two nights clearing the official roads inside and outside the city.
The eldest prince spent two all-nighters in the household department, accompanied by the upper and lower households on duty.
In the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar new year, the crown prince Li Jing led the officials of the East Palace and a thousand guards of the East Palace to leave Beijing for Zheng County. The third prince, Li Hao, led five hundred personal soldiers, another prince, Changshi, and two aides, and set off for Pi County.
The concubines in the harem also became nervous.
Concubine Meng sent people to visit the eldest prince every day at the Ministry of Housing.
Concubine Qin was also thinking about the Fourth Prince~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing that the Fourth Prince had not entered the palace for several days, she was sent to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to deliver a letter. When the fourth prince entered the palace, he looked at it a few times and felt distressed: "What are you busy with recently? Why are you black and thin?"
The fourth prince is not only black and thin, but also has red eyes. At first glance, it seems that he has not slept well for many days.
The fourth prince sighed: "The official road has been cleaned up for two days and two nights. In the past few days, I have led the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division to patrol around the capital. I found that dozens of people's houses were covered with snow. The house collapsed, and there were a dozen or so beggars who were frozen to death by the roadside. There were also some gangsters who were making troubles around the snowstorm... These days combined, they slept for more than a dozen hours."
Concubine Qin's eyes were red: "Open your mouth and let the people from the military and horse divisions of the five cities do these things. A dignified prince, what do you do with this fun?"
The fourth prince's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "At this time, it's important to help the people. I will take the lead, and those soldiers can't be lazy. I know that my mother and concubine love me. However, in this case, I don't have to do it in the future. I've said it. I'm the Prince of Great Wei, and it's right for me to do my best for the court and the people."
Concubine Qin: "..."
