Chapter 1257 She Doesn’t Want to Be a Demon Concubine
"You like the royal sister very much?"
The emperor took a sip of the cold drink beside him, which was scented bayberry.
The taste is sweet and sour, and the texture is pretty good.
"I just envy her."
Fusang knew that the emperor was suspicious, so he didn't say much good things about Jiang Wan.
While the two were talking, the emperor opened the window of the private room. They sat in the room by the window and had a clear view of the scene below.
The emperor suddenly said: "The regent is indeed good. He has made a poor place like Jiuzhou so prosperous."
"It is said that when we first came to Jiuzhou, many places in Jiuzhou were barren. It was the princess who led people to plant many high-yield grains and fruit trees."
The emperor had heard of these things about Fusang before. He narrowed his eyes and waved his hand gently.
A secret guard sneaked into the lobby.
He sat in the crowd and asked curiously, "Everyone, I also heard people talking about Jiuzhou a few years ago.
At that time, there were many wastelands in your Nine Continents. It was said that there was no grass growing during the famine years. But is that true?"
"My dear brother, you are from another place, right? Those are all old calendars."
"That's right. Ever since the prince came to our Jiuzhou, our Jiuzhou can be considered a half-rich place, right?"
"If the princess hadn't led us to grow high-yield crops and taught us to grow fruit trees, dry the fruits and make canned food, we wouldn't have the good life we have today."
"In the hearts of Jiuzhou people, the prince and princess are the gods who save the world. Without them, Jiuzhou would not be what it is today."
“…”
Talking about this, everyone was very excited and obviously very excited. The emperor upstairs narrowed his eyes slightly.
Fusang held his hand and said, "If the prince and princess can govern Jiuzhou well, it will be a good thing for you."
"Really?"
The emperor curled his lips slightly, and then heard the person he had arranged continue to ask questions.
"It's good that you are grateful to the prince and princess, and our current emperor is also a wise one.
Dafeng is now much stronger than its neighbors, and you have the confidence, at least the enemy countries dare not invade."
"No matter how wise he is, the emperor is far away. When we were starving to death, he was still enjoying himself in Kyoto."
"Bah, you don't want to live anymore, what nonsense are you talking about."
"My father and mother both starved to death. What is there to be afraid of? Royal family members, how can you understand the suffering of ordinary people like us?"
"Brother, he actually drank cold drinks and got drunk. I'll take him back first."
“…”
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, not daring to say anything nonsense. After all, there were some things that could not be said under the emperor's feet.
In the private room, Fusang advised: "The people were not talking about you, Your Majesty. You had not yet ascended the throne at that time."
During the famine, the old emperor was still in power. He was only thinking about staying alive and had no time to care about so many things.
"You are right."
The emperor smiled gently, "If it weren't for the regent and the emperor's sister, I don't know what Jiuzhou would be like.
The people of the neighboring countries are eyeing us covetously, and I am very happy that they are guarding the border for me."
Fuso felt his scalp tingling for some reason, not knowing whether what he said was true or not.
She felt that the emperor's feelings towards Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were too complicated.
On the one hand, he was grateful for their support and teaching, but on the other hand, he was full of fear of them.
She didn't dare say any more, lest she make the emperor even more angry with them.
This is what the people want, and it is indeed what Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan have done better.
The emperor no longer had the heart to continue drinking tea, so he turned around and took Fusang back home.
Jiang Wan didn't know all this. When Song Jiuyuan came back in the evening, Jiang Wan noticed that something was wrong with her expression.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan had a good relationship. She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him, so Song Jiuyuan told Jiang Wan what had happened to Dong Nuan Xia Liang today.
This is Kyushu, and their people are everywhere, not to mention that they are warm in winter and cool in summer.
"I'm afraid he is afraid of us."
This is not a good thing. Song Jiuyuan has finally settled down and does not want to cause trouble.
But...some things can't be avoided by just hiding from them.
"No matter what, we have to protect the children. No matter who it is, if they want to hurt my children, don't worry about my cruelty."
After Jiang Wan became a mother, she realized that children are the bottom line for a mother.
If the emperor really dared to emulate his father, Jiang Wan wouldn't mind having someone else rule the world.
"Don't worry too much. Being an emperor brings mixed feelings. Maybe he will consider our previous friendship."
Song Jiuyuan felt that the emperor was a contradiction, and he was afraid that he himself had not thought it through.
"No matter what, we have to set up defenses."
Jiang Wan sighed, "If it really doesn't work, let's leave Jiuzhou. The world is so big, there are plenty of places for us to stay."
With so many countries, Jiang Wan doesn't want to be a queen or princess.
"Well, I'll do as you say."
Tonight, Song Jiuyuan didn't even touch Jiang Wan, and both of them had trouble falling asleep.
Apart from them, I'm afraid only people like Song Qing who have experienced it can understand the feeling.
Mrs. Song also did not sleep all night. Song Qing comforted him, "It's just that our child is too outstanding, which makes people afraid of him."
"You're still joking at this time."
Mrs. Song was speechless. She was worried to death. She never wanted to go through exile again.
"Don't worry, the children will protect themselves when they grow up."
Song Qing said: "Besides, his foundation is unstable. He wants to consolidate his throne, so he dare not take action for the time being.
Let's wait a few more years until the kids grow up, and if he goes too far, we will be able to fight back."
"I hope so. I'll go see Li'er."
Mrs. Song was absent-minded, and no one in the palace had a good rest.
Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan were still paying attention to the emperor's movements.
These days, memorials were sent to Fuso's residence, and he seemed to be really committed to repairing his relationship with Fuso.
I'm going on a boat trip with Fuso in a while.
Accompany Fuso on an outing again.
He even went out for a stroll with Fuso.
After coming and going for more than half a month, he was not in a hurry to go back, but Song Jiuyuan was anxious.
That day he and Jiang Wan came specially when the emperor and Fusang were having dinner.
"Sister, why are you here?"
The emperor leisurely asked someone to prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. At this moment, he and Fuso looked like an ordinary couple.
Song Jiuyuan looked helpless, "Your Majesty, the letter from Kyoto urging you to return to Beijing has been delivered to me."
If I don't go back, Kyoto will be in chaos.
The emperor paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and Fusang said gently:
"You've been with me for so long, let's go back to Beijing first."
The emperor remained silent and said, "There is no rush for now, I am just going out for a few days to escape the summer heat.
There was no delay in reviewing the memorials, so they just can't sit still?"
He was obviously a little angry, and Jiang Wan didn't even know whether he was taking his anger out on Song Jiuyuan.
Hearing this, Song Jiuyuan remained neither humble nor arrogant and said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day."
"Your Majesty, the prince is doing this for your own good."
Fusang felt a little guilty, and even began to waver. She didn't want to be a demon concubine, so why not just follow him back to the capital?
