Chapter 440 No Harem Disturbance
Feng Aoqing didn't know why she had to step back when she saw the boat crashing straight into the slope.
The boat stopped only after the collision.
"The ground is uneven, I have experience." Yu Tingfeng said with a smile.
Feng Aoqing laughed to death as she watched the few people come down using Qinggong. Fortunately, they had some skills.
As soon as she got off the boat, Siyan started attacking Yu Mingchang with both her mouth and hands.
"How stupid! How stupid! How are we going to get back if we wreck the boat?!"
"Ouch! How would I know! You guys shouldn't paddle so hard! How would I know I couldn't stop? It's not a horse, just hiss!" Yu Mingchang touched his hurt hand and said helplessly.
When they got close, Siyan was about to come up.
"Okay, we are all fine and not hurt. Don't cry." Feng Aoqing stopped him.
But everyone looked at the two of them with tears in their eyes.
After getting on the boat, I heard from Yu Mingchang that they were washed into a tributary and then drifted to this village, which was far away from the main river.
Yu Mingchang took out some cold steamed buns from the bag on his back and handed them to the two of them.
They both shook their heads at him, indicating no.
"I know this is unfair to you two, but this is the best food I can find around here."
He told the two that they had nothing with them when they came out and were extremely hungry, so they found a farmer and the farmer made steamed buns for them with the little flour they had saved.
They also gave silver to the farmers, but silver could not buy food now, so it became more precious.
"Oh, keep it well. We will go to the farmer's house to deliver food later. We can't let others starve just because we feed you." Feng Aoqing said.
"Then why haven't you eaten for so long..."
"They are not hungry, but sister, I am hungry." Yan Xiao sat at the back and said to Feng Aoqing.
"What do you want to eat?" Feng Aoqing asked him.
"Ice cream."
"Ice cream doesn't fill you up! I think you're just greedy!"
"Hey, you'll feel full even if you eat more."
"What is ice cream?" Yu Tingfeng asked curiously.
During these meals, he ate a lot of delicious food that Feng Aoqing fed him. Although he felt that it was not as good as what she made herself, it was really delicious.
Then, everyone had an extra ice cream cone.
"Eat quickly, or it will melt if you eat slowly." Yan Xiao instructed the two newcomers who looked astonished.
"Oh." Yu Mingchang took a big bite and almost froze his teeth.
Everyone laughed as they watched him perform, neither spitting nor swallowing.
Seeing that they were tired and hungry, Feng Aoqing gave them some roujiamo to eat.
Originally, Yu Mingchang wanted to ask why the two of them were clean, but now he didn't need to ask anymore, because he knew the answer.
We soon arrived at the village where we borrowed the boat.
The villagers were afraid that their horses would get lost, so they took them to their own yards, tied them up, and fed them grass.
There was no food for humans, but there was food for horses everywhere.
They even brushed the muddy horses clean.
Only then did Yu Tingfeng realize that this was the only boat in their village. All the other boats were dispatched to deliver food and supplies and rescue people, leaving only this last life-saving boat.
Fortunately, Yu Mingchang and his team didn't spend much time, and there was no danger in the village.
Now that the boat has been returned, the villagers saw that it was loaded with many bags of food, including rice and noodles, enough to feed the villagers for a long time.
Yu Mingchang personally went to the family that made steamed buns to deliver food.
The family looked at Yu Mingchang carrying a bag of noodles stupidly, at a loss as to what to do and refused to accept it.
"Sir, it's just a few taels of flour, it's not that much, and you've already given so much silver."
"That's not just a few taels of old noodles, it's life-saving noodles. Silver can't be exchanged for food now, so just accept it! After the water recedes, you can use the silver to renovate the house." Yu Mingchang answered seriously.
Yu Tingfeng and Feng Aoqing did not go over, but watched from a distance.
He was quite touched: "It seems that I still need to go out more and see the suffering of the people before I know how to be an official and a king."
"I'm not trying to praise you! Of all the countries I've visited, yours is the best, both in terms of officials and people. The officials are capable and dedicated to the people, and the people are honest, upright, and trustworthy. They don't pick up things on the street and understand right from wrong."
"You are praising me!" Yu Tingfeng was a little proud.
"It's not just you who does the work. Zhu Mingbo has done more than you!" Feng Aoqing said with a smile.
"Who said that? Although I didn't go out before, I also got up early and went to bed late, and I was exhausted." Yu Tingfeng was not happy to hear this. He had been working without sleep since he was ten years old.
"That's right, mainly because you don't have a harem to bother you, so you really have plenty of time!"
Feng Aoqing was originally joking, but Yu Tingfeng answered seriously: "You are right, this is the biggest benefit that has allowed me to govern with peace of mind over the years."
"My royal grandfather was wary of my royal grandmother's maternal clan, and he couldn't handle the affairs of countless concubines' families. In the end, the Xiao family felt it was unfair and poisoned him to death. They also colluded with foreign enemies to seize the border city when Yuanwu was at its most vulnerable."
"Similarly, my father, the Emperor, was also bound by the harem and his maternal family. He was tied down and incompetent, and eventually caused more than a dozen sons to kill each other. My brothers never expected that the seal would fall into the hands of me, the youngest."
Feng Aoqing finally understood why he was so determined about this matter. He would not marry anyone, and no one should try to influence him with their mother's family.
Until he was strong enough to control everything.
Feng Aoqing gave up her identity as Zhao Jing Fenghua Jun because she understood him.
She has no maternal clan, she is just herself.
Yu Tingfeng looked at Feng Aoqing and said firmly: "From now on, there will be no more disturbances from the harem."
Feng Aoqing looked at him from the side.
He then said helplessly: "You are your empress, and I am my Emperor Yuanwu. Where does the harem come from? I can't have one, and neither can you!"
"So, we're going to have a long-distance relationship!"
Yu Tingfeng didn't know what a long-distance relationship was, but he understood the concept of being in different places, so he immediately shook his head: "That can't be possible. We need to think about this matter carefully. Besides, I have to make sure that both places are safe and secure before I can give it to you."
As he was speaking, Yu Mingchang came back.
They returned to the city by the same route.
When we were outside the city, everything was normal.
Yu Tingfeng knew that the method of blasting the dike to drain the water that Feng Aoqing had told him before had worked.
The two of them rode the same horse, and he couldn't help but hug Feng Aoqing in front of him tightly.
Feng Aoqing looked back at him, and he couldn't help but kiss her.
After the kiss, he whipped the horse forward.
Leaving behind his shocked subordinates.
"It's not in vain. We have to go through life and death together to know each other's true feelings." Siyan said with a smile.
"Finally, all the hard work has paid off." Yu Mingchang also looked at Siyan and smiled contentedly.
There were refugee camps in the open spaces outside the city gates everywhere.
When they reached the front of the camp, everyone recognized Feng Aoqing and came out to kowtow.
It turned out that everyone in the city knew that the two people were washed away by the flood.
Everyone also spontaneously searched along the riverbank and reported back every hour.
Everyone knows that if nothing is found, it is good news.
When they entered the city, except for the flooding near the embankment, there was no problem anywhere else.
Some refugees had already gone to the city to report it.
"Your Majesty, you are back!"
"Miss Feng, you're back!"
When entering the city, people were kneeling and praying on the roadside.
The voice of "God bless Yuanwu" resounded through the sky.
In the eyes of the people, if it were not for God's protection, how could their emperor remain unharmed in the flood.
"Listen, from now on, I can't call myself Yutian anymore, because you have become the sky."
Yu Tingfeng lowered his head and whispered in Feng Aoqing's ear.
