Chapter 322: Pretty Fertility
"You, can you deal with the bandits?" The bloody man stared at Xiao Jiuyue's extremely beautiful face. It was obvious that she was a young lady who had never done any housework. If she could deal with the bandits, all the bandits in the Eighteen Villages would have died long ago.
Xiao Jiuyue wasn't surprised at the distrust that emanated from the bloody man. She curled her lips slightly and said, "I can't deal with those bandits, but I know someone who can."
The light in the bloody man's eyes flickered on and off.
Xiao Jiuyue looked him over and continued, "You must be a villager from nearby, right? I heard there are over 2,000 bandits in the Eighteen Villages. Just a small villager like you, do you think you can defeat them?"
"You said those officials in the county are shit, and there are also officials in the prefecture and other prefectures. There must be someone who can deal with this group of bandits." Xiao Jiuyue didn't live in the village for a long time, only two or three days, but she knew the harm that the bandits did to the village.
Most of the villagers don't talk to outsiders. Unlike Fu'an Village, the people here seem to be unable to see the light. Young women and girls over ten years old in the village are almost invisible!
"If the imperial court really wanted to suppress the bandits, how could they not do so?" The Bloody Man said bitterly, mentioning these corrupt officials. "My sister was kidnapped by bandits, my mother died at their hands, and my father, uncle, and everyone in the village all died at their hands. We were thirteen people in my family, and now I'm the only one left!"
The bloody man's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of hatred. There were many people in their village who were in the same situation as their family.
"So many?" Xiao Jiuyue was also shocked when she heard this number. She said, "The villagers in this village are not so scary!"
"Heh." The bloody man sneered. He was so excited that he vomited blood again. He wiped his lips nonchalantly and said, "Who gave us a small salt well in our village? Although it doesn't produce much salt, those bandits..."
Xiao Jiuyue was silent. Hu Yi's family had encountered a terrible disaster because of the salt well incident. Hu Yi was the only one left in the Hu family. Unexpectedly, the same tragedy happened in a place far away in Xiangcheng.
It is a crime to hide the wall!
"The thing in your hand should be able to deal with the bandits, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't keep coming to you." Xiao Jiuyue spoke again. Later, when Jin Wen came back from collecting herbs, he ran into the bandits looking for the blood man again. Jin Wen decided to go all out and took some effort to lead his husband and the bandits to another road.
"If you give your things to the wrong person, they will be of no use at all." Xiao Jiuyue reminded.
"I know who to give it to." The bloody man pursed his lips, the blood on his lips was horrifying, his eyes were firm, as if he knew clearly who he should give it to.
Xiao Jiuyue wanted to ask more, but the bloody man said, "I only give it to those I want to give it to. You guys, don't waste your time on me." There are so many lives in their family. If he gave it to others, who would seek justice for them?
"Then you should take good care of your injuries." Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything else. She simply stood up, walked outside and ordered, "Jinwen, guard well."
"Yes." Jin Wen responded.
It was late at night. Xiao Jiuyue stood in the yard, looking up at the dark clouds covering the moon. The thick dark clouds obscured the bright moon.
"Miss, it's cold." Lianxin took the cloak and put it on her.
"Lianxin, tell me, if everyone can have enough food to eat, there will be no bandits, right?" Xiao Jiuyue murmured. There were more than a dozen people in a family, but in the end only one person was left. How sad is that?
If most people in a village were like that bloody man just now...
Just thinking about this possibility, she felt that these bandits were really evil. She could understand that they were forced to become bandits for a bite to eat and a little food, but she could not accept that they relied on their strength and numbers to bully the unarmed people who had nowhere to appeal.
The bandits in Jiutou Mountain Village are different from the bandits in Shiba Village. The bandits in Jiutou Mountain Village are just looking for food, but what are the bandits in Shiba Village looking for?
"It would be great if there were no bandits in the world and everyone could have enough food to eat." Lianxin prayed sincerely.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced sideways at Lian Xin who was praying devoutly and said, "Yes, there will be a day when everyone will have enough to eat, live and work in peace, and not have to worry about being bullied."
"That's great." Lian Xin was so excited just thinking about that scene.
…
"Your Majesty, today is the Qiqiao Feast in Donglin County. There are a lot of people on the streets. People from the entire Donglin County and nearby areas will come here to play. It is very lively. On Ruqin Lake, the breeze blowing on the pleasure boats is very comfortable, and the scenery is also very beautiful." Qiao Huilan came to find Bai Miaoyun enthusiastically.
"My mother has arranged a flower drum opera on the pleasure boat. Would you like to go and see the fun?" Qiao Huilan looked at Bai Miaoyun with a smile. She had been talking to her mother all night last night and had completely cast aside her shyness. So what if she was the prince's concubine? She was still better than an ordinary family's wife!
"Then let's go and take a look." Bai Miaoyun responded, leaning against the couch.
Qiao Huilan immediately stood up and said, "Then please pack up first, Madam. I'll go talk to my mother and get the carriage ready and make all the arrangements."
"Yeah." Bai Miaoyun responded and watched Qiao Huilan go out happily. The maid Zhu Hong was kneeling on the ground, using marigolds to dye her toenails.
"The Qiao family is quite fertile." Bai Miaoyun put her finger on her forehead. During the days in Donglin County, the prince went out for something, so Bai Miaoyun lived in the home of the Qiao County Magistrate. The Qiao family had two daughters, Qiao Huilan and Qiao Huiwen, one was passionate and the other was as quiet as a chrysanthemum.
"Your Majesty, you are still young and will be able to get pregnant soon." Zhu Hong raised her eyes and said comfortingly.
"Zhu Hong." Bai Miaoyun's hand fell on her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with disappointment. She said, "I've been in the Eastern Palace for such a long time, and I haven't been able to get pregnant since my last miscarriage. This time, I finally begged His Highness to take me out on this tour. If I still can't get pregnant, will I still have a chance when I return to the Eastern Palace?"
"Yes, His Highness likes you very much." Zhu Hong carefully dyed her toenails.
"Like?" Bai Miaoyun chuckled, looking at Zhu Hong and shaking her head: "Silly girl, my mother said that love is the most unreliable. Today she likes and pampers you, but tomorrow, she can turn against you. I understand Qiao Huilan's little thoughts."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only high branch she can climb in her life." Of the two girls in the Qiao family, Qiao Huilan looks innocent, but what she is thinking is all written on her face. She likes His Royal Highness.
"Qiao Huilan's mother gave birth to seven children: five sons and two daughters. Although she didn't carry two of her sons, her fertile body is truly enviable." Bai Miaoyun's lips curled slightly. "If I can't get pregnant, she can get one..."
"Your Majesty, are you going to..." Zhu Hong's pupils shrank slightly. She quickly stood up and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she said, "Your Majesty, you are still young. Why are you so anxious?"
