Chapter 625 Praising the Prince
"Princess, don't worry. I just received the letter. According to the speed, it will arrive in the next two days!" Hua Qing handed over the letter sent by the carrier pigeon.
When Xiao Jiuyue saw the note saying they would not be back for another day or two, she suppressed her anxiety and said, "Hua Qing, if they come, they will come to see the prince as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Princess." Hua Qing patted his chest and assured.
night.
Xiao Jialing accompanied Xiao Jiuyue for dinner and said, "Eat more. You're too thin."
Xiao Jialing kept picking up dishes and pouring soup for Xiao Jiuyue, filling Xiao Jiuyue's bowl to the brim.
"Brother, if you take any more, there won't be room for anything in my bowl." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the food sticking out of the bowl helplessly, feeling warm in his heart.
"You're so thin, eat more." Xiao Jialing looked at her thin, pointed face and said, "Who else is as thin as you when pregnant? If your mother saw you like this, she would cry for three days and three nights!"
"No, please don't say that!" Xiao Jiuyue stopped talking immediately after hearing this and reminded him, "Brother, I'm eating. I'm going to eat myself fatter!"
Xiao Jiuyue was like a little hamster, holding the rice and trying hard to eat it.
"Don't worry about the prince. The people from the Flower Clan are here and they will definitely cure it." Xiao Jialing comforted her. He felt very distressed when he saw her trying hard to eat.
"Yes, it can definitely be cured." Xiao Jiuyue was also full of confidence.
"By the way, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and her belly is much bigger than yours." Xiao Jialing spoke of Cui Yao's pregnancy, his eyes tender as water, and said, "If you two were together, you would definitely have endless things to talk about."
"I feel a little sorry for my sister-in-law. She is about to give birth, and you are still running to Jiashui City." Xiao Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jialing looked at her and smiled, "Your sister-in-law urged me to come here. She said she has a midwife and maids to serve her. As a girl like you, you still need someone to support you here, Prince."
"Sister-in-law is just thinking about me. She doesn't even think about the fact that she's pregnant and can't leave someone by her side." Xiao Jiuyue could sense Cui Yao's thoughts even without seeing her. She said, "Brother, now that you've delivered the things, go back quickly."
"Maybe we can still get back before my sister-in-law launches the attack." Xiao Jiuyue urged, "Anyway, the battle with the Xijiang people is over, and the prince will wake up soon."
"No." Xiao Jialing shook his head and said, "How can I leave without seeing the prince wake up?"
"If your sister-in-law knew that I left after delivering the food, she would probably scold me." Xiao Jialing picked up some food for her from time to time and asked, "Your side in Xijiang has lost this battle. Will they make a comeback?"
"No." Xiao Jiuyue said firmly. She told him about General Mu Cheng and said, "I made a bet with General Mu Cheng that as long as the crisis in Jiashui City is resolved, he will agree to my request!"
Xiao Jialing: "What if he changes his mind?"
Xiao Jiuyue cleared her throat, blinked, and said, "I poisoned him."
"Poof!"
Xiao Jialing was originally worried that his sister was too trusting of others, but after hearing this, he was so shocked that he almost spit out the soup in his mouth.
He cleared his throat, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Yuer, you did the right thing. General Mu Cheng is a general of Xijiang. If you just let him go back and only trust his character, you will easily suffer losses!"
"Yes, if he keeps his word, I will send someone to secretly deliver the antidote to him, without anyone knowing. If he doesn't believe me!" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and said, "If there is no antidote, he will naturally come to me for help."
"As for the Second Prince of Xijiang, I plan to wait for Jun Lie to wake up and bring him back to Shengjing together!"
Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and said solemnly, "Jun Lie risked his life for the people of Jiashui City. He absolutely cannot be charged with treason!"
This crime can be charged against anyone, but not Jun Lie!
"The people of Jiashui City are all very grateful to His Majesty. When the time comes, I will teach everyone how to farm. I will have people from Mingzhou send us the cloth, cotton, and food we need."
"Not only Mingzhou, but also Xiangcheng and Hongdu. Once the news is spread, people all over the country will know about Prince Ling's deeds!"
Xiao Jialing reminded: "Your Shang family troupe can also write out the storybook, especially the one where the prince saves the people of the entire city!"
Xiao Jialing gave her some advice, saying, "Even good wine needs to be praised if it's not well known. What the prince has done should be praised by everyone!"
After all, not everyone can sacrifice his life to save the people like the prince did!
"Brother, your idea is the best!" Xiao Jiuyue had only thought about bringing the people to Shengjing before, and had never thought of this level. She said: "It's not enough for the emperor and the court officials to know, the people must also know!"
Xiao Jiuyue quickly ate her meal and said impatiently, "I need to write the storybook quickly and have the Shang family troupe rehearse it when the time comes!"
"No, let the Jiashui City troupe rehearse!" Xiao Jialing said, "I was confused before. The Jiashui City troupe is more likely to be believed."
"That's right!" Xiao Jiuyue also came back to her senses. When she quietly asked someone to convey this idea to the opera troupe, the opera troupes and storytelling teahouses in Jiashui City had already begun to talk about the prince's deeds.
"Well, my notebook is of no use." Xiao Jiuyue thought about the notebook she had written overnight, which would be of no use at all.
She drank tea and listened to the storyteller singing praises of Jun Lie's deeds. The ups and downs of his voice surprised Xiao Jiuyue.
"Princess, this is a good thing. It shows that the people of Jiashui City truly remember the prince's kindness in their hearts!" Luo Kui comforted with a smile.
Xiao Jiuyue nodded in agreement and said, "You're right, I should be happy!"
After returning to her residence, Xiao Jiuyue first went to see Jun Lie. He was still the same, lying on the bed as if he was asleep. She then went to find Hua Qing. Before Xiao Jiuyue could say anything, Hua Qing said, "Princess, I will go to the city gate to meet them. If they come, I will tell you immediately."
Hua Qing ran out in a flash, and Xiao Jiuyue reminded her to be careful.
"Where's my elder brother? He hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Jiuyue walked around but didn't see his elder brother Xiao Jialing.
"The prince has gone to teach the people how to prepare for the autumn harvest!" Dong Gui replied, "The prince said he might be back late."
"In the blink of an eye, it's almost autumn harvest time. Jiashui City is on the border, and we haven't learned any methods to improve farming there." Xiao Jiuyue had discovered before that the rice in the fields was not growing well. The thin seedlings looked underdeveloped!
"Don't worry, by next year, Jiashui City will be like grass, growing better and better!" Donggui said expectantly. Even the fields in Hongdu that were like that at the beginning are now producing a bumper harvest!
