Chapter 728 Must Reward
Looking at the convoy in front of her that seemed to have no end in sight, Qin Chuchu grinned at the man beside her.
This is too grand a ceremony. I'm afraid there are more than a few thousand people. This is not a war, so there is no need to bring so many people.
"No problem."
The man glanced at the convoy in front of him, put his arm around Qin Chuchu's waist and asked her to get on the carriage.
After what happened last time, we must be extremely careful for Chuchu's safety.
The outside world is not like the Far North. There are spies everywhere. If Chu Chu really makes a mistake, it will be too late to regret.
"But this is also..."
Qin Chuchu wanted to refute a few more words, but the housekeeper Liu interrupted her.
"Princess, please get in the car with peace of mind. We can also use these people. If there are any saplings that you like, please bring some back."
Although I also feel that bringing so many people is a bit too much, but since it is the prince's request, I naturally have to obey.
"Oh, all right then."
Qin Chuchu glanced at Butler Liu. Since he said so, she had nothing to say.
Just one look at the long convoy and I still feel that this is too big a scene.
But the young men were quite happy, for there were five of them in one carriage, and there were ten thousand of them in all.
We are usually busy at the base and haven't been out for a long time, so we are all quite excited.
Once the convoy left the far north, the road became more difficult to travel on.
Although it had been sunny for a few days, some of the bumpy dirt roads still had water in them, and even those without water had two deep ruts left by the wheels.
Qin Chuchu leaned against the car window, stretching her neck to look back from time to time.
"Your Majesty, why are there so many carriages?"
I really don't know when there were so many carriages in the house.
"We rented it at the market to transport small dishes to the capital."
The man leaned over and put his arms around Chuchu's waist, intending to pull her into his arms.
It’s a pity that Chuchu refused and kept looking out the car window. She didn’t come out for a long time because she hadn’t seen enough.
"Are these the side dishes we donated?"
Qin Chuchu took another look at the convoy behind. Although there were many cabbages as seen before, it seemed that they could not pull so many carriages. She wondered if they had rented too many carriages.
"Yeah." The man tucked a strand of Qin Chuchu's hair behind her ear and smiled a little cunningly.
These carriages are not enough. We are now waiting for my father to send another carriage over.
At this moment, in the capital, after several days of forced donations, merchants from all over the country barely donated 500,000 taels.
Together with the donations from court officials in the court, they barely raised three million taels.
The funds have been fully allocated to various places for disaster relief, except for Qingzhou Prefecture and the Far North.
Today, Qingzhou Prefecture and the Far North are admired in the Dayu Kingdom and are prosperous areas in everyone's mind.
I heard before that King Chen only donated some vegetables, and many people wanted to use this to cause trouble.
But later when they heard that the donation was tens of millions of kilograms, they all shut up.
Everyone knew that the bok choy in the hot pot was a rare thing. Even if it was only one or two cents per pound, it was several times more than what they donated, so no one took advantage of the issue anymore.
The emperor has been in a very good mood these past two days. Not only has the disaster relief funds arrived, but the people will soon have food to eat again. He feels very happy every time he thinks about it.
After leaving the court, he had no time to review memorials and went straight to Concubine Jing's courtyard to find Xiaohua.
Concubine Jing had just finished breakfast and was putting on makeup when she saw the emperor coming back happily.
"Why are you back?"
Seeing how happy this old man was, I guessed what was going on.
But she was also very happy in her heart, especially after hearing that her son donated so many vegetables, she felt even more proud.
Seeing Xiaohua glaring at him, the emperor was so happy that he came over directly.
He snatched the hairpin from Nanny Jiang's hand and threw it aside.
"Don't rush to clean up, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, he took Xiaohua's chubby hand and went straight to the inner house.
“………………”Madam Jiang.
“………………”Madam Su.
The two looked at each other. What was there to understand? They both wisely retreated.
"Why are you pulling me?"
Concubine Jing struggled to break free from the emperor's big hand and glared at him with dissatisfaction.
Knowing him, I could already guess why he came back.
Seeing Xiaohua's knowing look, the emperor put on a serious expression.
"I came here to talk to my beloved concubine about Chen'er's affairs."
"What's wrong with Chen'er?" Concubine Jing's eyes lit up.
I thought this old guy was going to do something bad again, but looking at his serious face now, it seems that he really has something to say.
"Don't be impatient, my dear. Let's sit down and talk."
Concubine Jing let the emperor pull her. She originally wanted to sit at the table, but he pulled her to the head of the bed.
But thinking about listening to Chen'er's story, I just let him do it.
Seeing Xiaohua so obedient, the emperor was very satisfied. He held her in his arms, his hands moved restlessly, but he started talking about business.
"The vegetables Chen'er donated this time are enough to feed the people for a long time. My beloved concubine has really raised a good son."
Although these words may be meant to flatter, they truly come from the heart.
Chen'er really solved his worries. Although the people now have food, they can't even eat wild vegetables due to years of drought.
Now, every family can get a batch of vegetables, which is far more practical than giving them silver.
Hearing the emperor constantly praising his son, Concubine Jing was also very happy and felt that her face was shining.
Just when I was about to say something, I realized that my clothes had been undone by this old man at some point.
Just as he was about to scold her, the emperor smiled shamelessly.
"My beloved concubine has truly raised a good son. I must reward you."
As he said that, he pushed down with great force and let down the bed frame. After a while, a sound that made people blush came from inside.
I've been in a good mood recently, and my need for this has become stronger.
But the Queen's palace was in a state of despair. When she heard that the deposit her son had paid for the vegetables he had ordered would not be returned, she was so angry that her head started throbbing.
"What did you tell them?"
She looked at her son with dissatisfaction. He was becoming less and less reliable. He had lost hundreds of thousands of taels in one go. It hurt her to think about it.
Seeing that his mother was angry, Han Mulei lowered his head and said nothing. After all, he was the one who messed up the matter, and he was still angry.
I thought I could make a lot of money from this batch of vegetables, but in the end I didn't make any money and even lost the deposit.
But I managed to stop the loss in time. Fortunately, I didn't transport the vegetables back, otherwise I would have lost everything.
Whenever I think of the vegetables donated by Han Muchen, I can't suppress my anger. So many people were sent in vain.
Not only was the greenhouse not damaged, but people were injured and in the end my uncle had to clean up the mess.
Looking at her son's cowardly appearance, the queen became more and more angry. Suddenly she remembered something and looked up at him again.
"Didn't they say Princess Chen was coming back?"
