The King of Dongye sent food to Yuan Yao every month.
After three consecutive months of various boxes being transported from Dongye to Qianhua Palace, finally, someone couldn't sit still any longer.
Jiang Chengyan stormed into Qianhua Palace in a huff.
When the person came in, Yuan Yao was holding a piece of melon.
"Yuan Xiaoyao!"
Jiang Chengyan, holding the hem of his robe with both hands, strode into the hall.
"Second Prince?" Yuan Yao beckoned, "Come and eat some melon! These are freshly delivered melons from Dongye, they're sweet and fresh!"
As she spoke, she handed over a piece of juicy melon.
Jiang Chengyan looked at the melon and said with disappointment, "That night is so long and gloomy, it's like a piece of dog skin plaster."
People have been back for so long, yet they're still sending all this stuff to Daqi every day!
Do you know the saying, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to serve it"?
"I know," Yuan Yao said helplessly, "but the things have already been delivered, I can't just throw them away!"
Throwing it away would be such a waste.
Jiang Chengyan was getting impatient: "Then you're going to keep it?"
“Of course not!” Yuan Yao threw away the melon rind in her hand and clapped her hands: “Every month, as soon as Ye Changyou’s things are delivered, I have someone appraise them and send the money to Dongye.”
Convert the goods into silver?
This method is not bad.
"What if he doesn't accept it?" Jiang Chengyan was still very worried.
You won't accept it?
Yuan Yao frowned, stroking her chin, and said, "I need to think about this carefully."
Jiang Chengyan snorted coldly and muttered, "Of all the days, he's the one who knows how to fawn over everyone!"
Yuan Yao: "?"
She looked at Jiang Chengyan: "Second Prince, what did you say?"
Jiang Chengyan pursed his lips and said with a straight face, "I wanted to ask... how well you played the zither?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She almost believed it.
She looked at Jiang Chengyan: "Ye Changyou only sent me things on a whim. After a while, he'll get bored and stop sending them!"
"He better be." Jiang Chengyan snorted coldly.
Looking at Jiang Chengyan, who was young but had quite a temper, Yuan Yao chuckled: "I'm not angry, so why is Your Highness angry?"
The item arrived, and she took it.
She paid for both.
Ye Changyou really didn't want it, so she had Dongye's people save the money for him and give it to him in the future.
Moreover, every month, Ye Changyou manages to gather some rare items from the Great Qi Dynasty, such as seafood...
Yuan Yao even considered using the Imperial Guards who were transporting phytosanitary materials to Daqi in Dongye to transport seafood from Dongye to supply the capital.
However, in this era, without cold chain logistics and professional logistics, it is not easy to implement.
Disaster……
Seeing that Yuan Yao had her own ideas, Jiang Chengyan said nothing more.
However, after thinking about it, he was still a little angry: "Ye Changyou's actions make it seem like Daqi can't afford to support you and will eventually kidnap you to Dongye!"
Yuan Yao: "???"
Kidnapping children is illegal!
In her sweet, childlike voice, she said earnestly, "Don't worry, this little thing won't steal it from me! Don't overthink it!"
I heard that the Crown Prince went to see the Emperor and asked you to study with him every day after school.
The prince is much older than you, so you'd better work hard!
Speaking of studying, Jiang Chengyan gets a headache: "The Crown Prince is so much older than me, and he still checks my studies every day. It's so annoying!"
"His Highness is doing this for your own good!" Yuan Yao said softly, "Other princes would beg for this!"
Jiang Chengyan frowned, his face grim: "I don't know what the Crown Prince means."
"Since you don't know, then don't guess," Yuan Yao said with a light smile. "Just do what you're supposed to do, and that'll be enough!"
"Mm." Jiang Chengyan nodded.
The weather is getting hotter every day.
After the melons of June, the palace servants of Qianhua Palace eagerly awaited what fruits Dongye would send in July.
However, by the end of July, there was still no movement from Dongye...
That day, after school, Yuan Yao, because it was too hot, asked Yun Chan, Xie Zhi, Lin Xuan, and Feng Xun to go find Huai Rou and Huai Yao to eat ice cream at Si Shi Chun.
Springtime all year round.
It was terribly hot in the afternoon.
Ice blocks were placed in the main hall of the Four Seasons Spring Hotel.
Inside the private room, there was a large block of ice. Jing'er took a fan and sat down next to the ice, fanning herself gently. Soon, the room cooled down.
After finishing a piece of melon, Xie Zhi looked at Yuan Yao and said, "Hey, little Yao, Dong Ye hasn't sent anything this month?"
Yuan Yao was drinking iced porridge when she heard this, and pursed her lips, saying, "I don't know either!"
She has already prepared the money!
It's almost August, and the package still hasn't arrived...
Perhaps they were delayed on the way?
At this moment, Huaiyao snorted, "What good things could a small country like Dongye have?"
It seems Ye Changyou has nothing else to offer as a gift.
Lin Xuan sipped his iced tea, raised an eyebrow and asked Huaiyao, "Dongye didn't send anything, but I heard that Beidi did send you something."
"I heard that Haolie personally trained the eagle?"
eagle?
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, everyone else became extremely curious.
Apart from Huaiyao, who looked smug, Yunchan was the only one left, quietly drinking her chilled flower tea.
Huaiyao raised his head and puffed out his chest, proudly saying, "Haolie did indeed send me an eagle. He personally trained it for several months before sending it over!"
"Sister Huaiyao, will this eagle listen to you?" Yuan Yao asked, extremely curious.
In modern times, eagles are nationally protected animals, and she has only seen them on television.
She'd never seen a live eagle before!
"Of course!" Huaiyao's eyebrows lit up: "Just as obedient your glutinous rice balls are, so too will my eagle be!"
Yuan Yao's eyes lit up as she listened.
Haolie, you're so good to Huaiyao!
They even caught an eagle and brought it to her!
A spirited little prince of the grasslands, a lively and flamboyant little princess...
I've hit that spot!
It is too sweet!
"Ahem!" Huaiyao coughed. "That eagle is very obedient."
However, it was rescued by Hao Lie after being injured when it was young. After its injuries healed, it became too attached to people and could no longer survive on its own.
If the eagle had been hunted by Haolie, I certainly wouldn't have wanted it!
Eagles have wings; they should soar freely in the blue sky!
“Yes!” Yuan Yao agreed, “I’ve also been having people feed Tangyuan raw meat, intentionally cultivating its wildness.”
However, it acts like a puppy all day long.
I'm afraid it will never be able to return to the mountains in its lifetime..."
Thinking about it, she felt a little regretful.
Tangyuan is over a year old, and now she is quite large.
However, it spends all day cuddling around her, begging for meat, milk, and snacks every day!
Even though Yuan Yao wanted to release it back into the mountains, she couldn't put her mind at ease...
Speaking of glutinous rice balls, Yuan Yao couldn't help but look at Yun Chan.
In a few days, it will be Yunchan's ninth birthday.
Yun Chan had grown taller, but she looked even thinner, and her skin remained as pale as ever, almost bloodless.
Moreover, he remained sickly.
He sits there alone, looking like a snowdrift.
Mom fans are getting anxious...
At this moment, Feng Xun teased, "Yun Chan, did you go thieving again last night?"
Yun Chan, her hands tucked under her wide, snow-white sleeves, said calmly, "The heat has been intense lately, and I've been having trouble sleeping at night."
Insomnia?
Xie Zhi chuckled and said to Yun Chan, "What good stuff are you hiding? Show it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pulled her hand further into her sleeve: "There's nothing there."
"Is that so?" Xie Zhi narrowed his eyes, his smile widening. He reached out and took Yun Chan's hand. "I don't believe it."
"Stop fooling around."
Yun Chan raised her eyes, swept her sleeve, and dodged Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi's smile widened, and he shouted, "Yun Chan has hidden some good stuff! First come, first served!"
Today, he insisted on seeing Yun Chan's hand.
Otherwise, we will not let this go!
