The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Song Yao felt that the assassination Xiao Chi mentioned must be that the dog emperor would send someone to assassinate Prince Wenxuan. It seemed that Prince Wenxuan had become a thorn in the dog emperor's side, otherwise, he would not have set his fiefdom in this place far away from the emperor.

Song Yao asked, "How many princes are there in the capital now?"

Xiao Chi said: "Three, however, these three princes have no power or ability. All the uncles who have some ability have been assigned to their own fiefdoms."

"Haha." Song Yao sneered, "I knew it!"

Song Yuanbai asked, "Prince Heng, can we live here now?"

Xiao Chi glanced at Song Yuanbai and said, "Okay, everyone come first."

Then, everyone followed Xiao Chi into the village.

When they arrived at the village, only Prince Wenxuan was there, and Zhao Lizheng had already left.

Xiao Chi brought everyone to Prince Wenxuan, and then introduced the identities of Song Yao and others to Prince Wenxuan.

Prince Wenxuan was called Xiao Heyu. He wore a moon-white robe with a fox fur cloak of the same color on the outside. He had his hair tied up and a crown on his head, and he looked as beautiful as a jade.

He exudes a gentle and elegant temperament.

Song Yao said, "Prince Wenxuan."

Xiao Heyu looked at Song Yao with his narrow eyes, "Miss Song, thank you for your hard work. Please follow me first."

"Thank you, Prince Wenxuan!" Song Yao said politely, then asked everyone to leave with Xiao Heyu.

They did not go to the room arranged for them, but came to Xiao Heyu's residence.

It is a wooden house surrounded by a bamboo wall. There is a piece of land in the yard on the left, but there is nothing planted in the land now.

Song Yao looked around and followed Xiao Heyu into the house.

There was another man in Xiao Heyu's room.

The man was wearing a dark robe. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very dignified. Sitting by the fire, he looked particularly dazzling.

Xiao Heyu said, "Beishu, let me introduce you. This is my friend Qi Mo. Qi Mo, this is my nephew Xiao Chi, this is Miss Song Yao, and this is also my nephew Xiao Yan..."

Xiao Heyu is a very easy-going and friendly person. He introduced all of them to Qi Mo.

Because there were not enough stools in the room, only Xiao Chi, Song Yao, E Yu, Xiao Yan, Song Yuanbai, Song Zizhou and a few others sat around the stove.

Above the stove, there is a round iron mesh, on which tea is boiled, and glutinous rice balls, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and persimmons are roasted.

When Song Yao saw this, she said, "Prince Wenxuan is so elegant, brewing tea around the stove."

Xiao Heyu was stunned at first, then he looked at Song Yao, "Let's make tea around the stove?"

Song Yao smiled and said, "Everyone is sitting around the stove with tea brewing on it. Isn't this just brewing tea around the stove?"

Only now did she realize that they didn't even know what it meant to brew tea around the fire.

But they only know how to do it, they just don't know the name.

Xiao Heyu heard Song Yao's explanation and smiled. "Sweeping the Fireside to Make Tea, this name has a very poetic meaning."

Song Yao said, "It's a pity that we are sinners now. Otherwise, in this kind of weather, I really want to enjoy myself."

"To the Emperor, you are indeed criminals, but to me, you are like old friends," Xiao Heyu said, "Please stay here for a few more days while I catch up with Bei Shu."

Song Yao said, "I want to, too, but the weather has been nice lately. I want to take advantage of this good weather and walk more. Otherwise, if it rains in a few days, it will be difficult to walk."

"Since you said so, I won't keep you here." Xiao Heyu kept a smile on his face.

"Okay." Song Yao nodded.

Song Yao had a question. Xiao Qiwu and Xiao Heyu were both Xiao Yan's uncles. Why were they so close to Xiao Chi but so unfamiliar with Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan is also their nephew, and she really can't understand it.

Seeing that the tea was ready, Qi Mo took the teacup and poured hot tea for them.

Although the weather has been good recently, the temperature is still very low, so it would be nice to have a sip of hot tea to warm your body.

After drinking tea, it was getting dark.

Then Zhao Lizheng came to Xiao Heyu's house and said that he had arranged accommodation for them and he would take them there now.

After Song Yao and the others thanked Xiao Heyu, they all followed Zhao Lizheng away.

After the Pingchuan earthquake, some people went to live with their relatives, some went to other places, and the rest came to Shili Village.

At that time, Shili Village was an empty village and all the people had left. Xiao Heyu brought the surviving people to Shili Village and settled down there.

There were a lot of people coming and there were not enough houses, so Xiao Heyu gathered everyone to cut wood and build houses. Now there are more than 300 people living in Shili Village.

Fortunately, there were some vacant houses among the ones built earlier. When Song Yao and the others arrived, Zhao Lizheng left these empty houses for them to live in.

Village Chief Zhao brought everyone in. Just as they were about to leave, Song Yao asked, "Village Chief, wasn't there a drought a while ago? Why didn't you flee the famine and instead settled here?"

Zhao Lizheng was about to leave, but when he heard Song Yao's voice behind him, he stopped and turned to look at Song Yao. Not only Song Yao was curious, but Song Zizhou and Song Jing were also curious, and they were all standing there.

Zhao Lizheng said, "All the previous villagers of Shili Village moved away because of the drought. Since there were so many of us, we couldn't move anywhere else, so we settled here. There was a severe water shortage at the time, so the prince took us to the mountains to find water. After searching for five days, we finally found a source deep in the mountains a hundred miles away. However, the water source was too far from Shili Village, so the prince followed us and carried water to the village one by one. Afterwards, we all dug a pond behind the village and carried water to the pond every day. That's how we survived here."

Song Yao and others were very surprised by what Zhao Lizheng said.

A hundred miles away, what's the probability of that happening? And they've been looking for water for four or five days.

It has to be said that not everyone can stick to this.

Xiao Heyu is such a good prince.

Song Jing asked, "What do you eat in winter?"

Song Zizhou said, "There was a snowstorm earlier, and there were flash floods everywhere. There was no way to buy food elsewhere."

Zhao Lizheng said, "We didn't buy any food. We just risked our lives to collect it after the Pingchuan City subsidence. The food we collected can last us for at least half a year, if not a year. We have also decided that when the weather warms up, we will cultivate the land in the village. That way, we will have food to eat next year and we can settle here permanently."

The idea is good, but if there is another drought this year, their lives will be extremely difficult.

They are all people who work hard to make a living, and Song Yao can't bear to discourage them.
