Chapter 175 The Sixth Prince VS the Tenth Prince
When Xiangying heard the news, she laughed out loud.
"Xiang Qianqian really learns everything, but she doesn't learn anything right."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiangying picked up the plump silkworms from the basket next to him.
She told the little ones: "In fact, silkworms can be eaten, but usually they are roasted silkworm pupae. I don't know what live white silkworms taste like."
"The most amazing thing about white silkworms is the silk they produce, which can be woven into beautiful clothes."
Xiang Yuanxiao's dark eyes lit up: "I remember that Master Chu once taught us a poem, 'Those dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm breeders.'"
Xiangying took out a piece of honey-glazed meat jerky and handed it over: "You're right, reward me with a little meat jerky."
Xiang Yuanxiao immediately showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, bad girl."
However, Xiangying did not expect that Xiang Qianqian did not know silkworms.
Is it really because he has always lived a life of luxury that he doesn't even have this little common sense?
Xiangying has so many silkworms, but to feed these little guys, he needs to find a lot of mulberry leaves.
Fortunately, when she left the palace, she moved whatever she saw, even dozens of trees, and kept them in the space.
Outside the building in the space, it was surrounded by lush trees. Xiangying walked around and finally found a mulberry tree.
She connected a water pipe from inside the storage building for irrigation, and set up silkworm racks under the tree, planning to feed them three times a day and wait for them to spin silk to make clothes.
midnight.
Xiangying lay in the tent hugging the children and heard footsteps coming and going outside.
She sat up, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and found that many people were looking for soldiers for water.
It's too dry here, and we've almost finished drinking the water we drank from the only creek ahead.
The soldiers shouted impatiently: "We have no water to drink, where can we get water for you?"
"Mother," Xiang Xiuxiu's baby voice suddenly came, "I'm thirsty too..."
Xiangying looked back and saw that the three little ones had not slept much.
She took out the water bag and said, "Didn't mother teach you that when you are thirsty, you should ask me for water."
Xiang Yuanlang sat up, his young face beginning to take on a handsome outline. He crossed his arms and said, "Big brother drank all of mine, and he didn't even let us say anything because he was afraid you would punish us."
Xiang Yuanxiao jumped up like a little dumpling.
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who gave it to me to drink!"
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi were both woken up and sat up rubbing their eyes.
Tao Xue yawned: "Your Highness Yuan Xiao did go to the bathroom the most times during the day today."
Xiang Yuanxiao was so angry that his cheeks puffed up and he glared at them. Finally, he just lay down and covered his head with the quilt.
"I decided not to drink a sip of water for two hours. Are you satisfied? Humph!"
Xiangying didn't say anything and handed his water bag to Xiang Xiuxiu.
Inside was the red date ice sweet milk that she had just drunk from the space.
The sweet taste of red dates combined with the freshness of milk brings a cool taste on hot summer nights.
"Wow, it's delicious and sweet!" Xiang Xiuxiu took two sips, her eyes sparkling.
She handed it to Xiang Yuanlang and asked him to try it too.
Xiang Yuanlang also said it was good.
Xiang Yuanxiao, who was lying nearby, immediately pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
Xiangying smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Dazai doesn't want to drink, then Yuanlang and Xiuxiu can just split it."
Xiang Yuanxiao sat up suddenly, his delicate features on his fair face angrily saying, "Who said I don't want to drink anymore?"
"You just swore not to drink a sip of water for two hours."
"I don't drink water, but that doesn't mean I don't drink milk. Let me try it." He stretched out his little hand and was hit by Xiangying.
Xiang Yuanxiao felt a little aggrieved: "Why did you hit my palm? The teacher said that you should only hit your palm when you have done something wrong."
Xiangying said lightly with her red lips: "Because you haven't apologized to your brother yet, Yuanxiao, it's wrong for you to snatch your brother's water."
She would prepare drinks of various flavors for the three little ones every day, either milk or scented tea.
Xiang Yuanxiao is a little greedy. He rarely steals his sister's food, but he always bullies Xiang Yuanlang who doesn't care about things.
Xiangying decided to take this opportunity to teach the little guy a lesson.
After all, Xiang Yuanxiao is good at everything. When they encounter danger, he knows to stand in front of his younger brothers and sisters.
But his habit of snatching food is too overbearing.
Xiang Yuanxiao lowered his head and spoke in a pitiful little voice.
"Second brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken your food and drinks and not let you tell the bad mother."
Xiang Yuanlang glanced at him and said, "I forgive you, brother."
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his chubby little hand and hugged Xiang Yuanlang: "You are the best, second brother."
Just when Xiangying was about to express his emotion about their deep brotherly love, Xiang Yuanxiao raised his little face with bright and dark eyes.
"Can you give me milk now?"
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi both laughed, and Xiang Ying was helpless.
The three cubs have different personalities. The eldest is smart, clever, and responsible; the second is calm and smart, and sometimes he is so sensible that he doesn't seem like a child; the third is cute and clingy, and is Xiangying's favorite.
No matter what happens when she goes to the capital of South Vietnam, she will protect these three little ones.
Early the next morning.
The exile team prepared to enter Meicheng.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw a group of people in official robes guarding outside the city gate.
When they saw Jie Chen's team, they hurried over.
The leader was the governor of Yizhou. He bowed and said, "Your subject, Lu Hong, greets... the deputy general."
Xie Chen was riding on the horse, frowning slightly, and looking down at him with narrowed eyes.
The governor of Yizhou should not know his identity.
"Lord Lu," Xie Chen got off his horse and took out his jade pass, "I have been ordered to escort prisoners from the Western Zhou Dynasty. I need to stay here and replenish my food and fodder."
Lu Hong nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the city has already made preparations for the deputy general's arrival, but I'm afraid that the food and grass supply may not be enough for the time being."
"I have already asked someone to dispatch someone from other counties, and they will definitely be sent to Meicheng within five days. I just need to trouble the deputy general to stay in my house and wait for the time being."
His overly respectful attitude made Jie Chen frown.
In front of so many people, Xie Chen did not ask the reason, but led everyone into the city.
Lu Hong actually took out half of his mansion and invited Jie Chen to stay on his bed.
The rest of the exiled prisoners were temporarily sent to a nearby parade ground, which was wide enough to accommodate so many people.
Xie Chen rejected Lu Hong's offer: "I will live in the parade ground with the soldiers and prisoners."
"Absolutely not!" Lu Hong was extremely frightened.
He looked around and the other officials stepped back voluntarily.
Finally, Lu Hong found a good opportunity to talk to Jie Chen alone.
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. The Emperor has issued a secret order, asking me to help you. He also said that you have worked hard on this journey and he misses you very much. He hopes that you will write back to him."
Jie Chen's eyes were cold, as if he had heard something ridiculous.
Along the way, his nominal father, the emperor, did send him many letters to express his greetings.
However, Xie Chen knew that he was very good at disguising himself. If he really cared about his son, he would not have been so cruel as to send the young Xie Chen to the Western Zhou Dynasty to be an insider.
"I'm busy lately, so I won't reply. Anyway, someone will report my situation to him." Xie Chen sneered and turned away.
Lu Hong hurriedly chased after him: "Deputy General, you can't live with them, this is against the rules..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smiling greeting came from behind them:
"Deputy General Xie, what a coincidence, you are here too?"
Xie Chen stopped and looked back.
Xiangying got out of the carriage and looked ahead.
The person who came was wearing a rose-red dragon robe and a golden crown on his head.
The man dressed like this must be a prince.
Xie Chen had come back to his senses, and he bowed and said coldly: "Greetings to the Sixth Prince."
The Sixth Prince smiled with his eyes narrowed, like a smiling tiger, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's been a long time since we last met, Jie Chen?"
Xie Chen's dark pupils were calm, but when the two looked into each other's eyes, everyone else felt oppressed.
Xiang Qianqian stood in the crowd, craning her neck to look.
Admiration was revealed in her eyes as she murmured, "This is the Sixth Prince of Nanyue..."
