When a passerby becomes a princess

It was not the first time for Liang Xi to go out to play in the palace. When he was a prince, he could occasionally get permission to go out to play in the palace in a sloppy way, but every time he was accompanied by a bunch of attendants and guards, he would always go out of his way wherever he went. A burst of commotion was caused, either kneeling down or running away.

This time he was finally able to wander around the street like an ordinary commoner, and occasionally bought two snacks, and ate them with Lin Qiu alone, which made the mothers who followed him turn pale with fright, for fear that Lin Qiu would Eat something unclean.

In the evening, they finally wandered to the Yanlin River in the west of the city, sat under a willow tree and waited for the sunset.

At the same time, Nanny Liu left from the side door of the General's Mansion, and brought a small jar of wine that was said to be stored by Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites; Empress Chu was furious because Liang Xi left the palace, and took the opportunity to deal with the two restless Madam Xing, who was staying at Jingliu Palace, stunned a little maid who was inquiring about the news with a knife in her hand. She wanted to carry it to the kitchen, but suddenly remembered that this was the palace, not her black shop, so she could only throw it against the wall in depression. go out.

As the sky darkened little by little, the crowd gradually gathered on the river bank, and some hawkers selling lotus lanterns set up stalls on the river embankment.

"After a while, the river will be full of lotus lanterns, which are very beautiful, but I only saw them once. Oh, by the way, there were a few big lotus lanterns that time." Liang Xi started talking non-stop since he sat down. The main reason is that Lin Qiu has stopped talking in the past two days, just like when they first got married, which made Liang Xi flustered inexplicably.The dough made by Lin Qiu turned around in Liang Xi's hands, just like his current mood.

Lin Qiu lowered his head, looked at the dark river, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth where Liang Xi couldn't see.

From the day he returned to the palace, he felt frequent bursts of dull pain in his chest, which was not painful but very uncomfortable. He knew how sick his body was, and thought it was just a physical problem. Until today, looking at Liang Xi because of his own Silent and flustered, turning around around him, even looking for something to say, the dull pain in his chest disappeared.

What he held in his hand was the maltose that Liang Xi bought, it would stick to his teeth when he ate it, but it was very sweet.He raised his head and glanced at the nagging Liang Xi, um, this feels pretty good.

Putting up the lights is naturally very beautiful, but I didn't wait for the last few big lights, because the guards sent by the queen found them, Liang Xi could only sit in the palace sedan chair with Lin Qiu honestly, under the guard's Escorted back to the palace.

A few days later, the Minister of Rites mentioned in the court hall that according to the laws of the Liang Kingdom, after the prince got married, he had to choose a poor county and be sent down for two years to serve as a local parent official, so as to understand the people's livelihood and prepare for the future succession. Now the prince Now that you are married, do you need to go out to practice?

"I didn't know there were such laws and regulations." Liang Honglie couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.No wonder he was surprised, none of the emperors and princes in the history of Daliang Kingdom cared for the people, not to mention understanding people's livelihood, they probably couldn't even tell the difference between wheat and rice.

Although Liang Honglie took the throne in an uprising at the beginning, he did not change the country name of Daliang Kingdom, and used the previous laws. After all, his surname was Liang, and he was originally from the royal family of Daliang Kingdom.

Sun Shangshu really wanted to tell the emperor that it wasn't his unfilial daughter, and he didn't even know it. "Return to Your Majesty, this law comes from the "Taizu Imperial Law"."

Speaking of "Taizu Imperial Law", Liang Honglie's face turned dark immediately.

"Taizu Imperial Law" was written by the founding emperor of Daliang Kingdom. There are more than 2000 regulations in it, all of which are used to regulate the members of the royal family, from the emperor, queen, prince, concubine... to the family members of the vassal kings, One is one and all are included.

Speaking of the founding emperor, he is really a strange person.In his early years, he devoted himself to rebellion, suffered repeated defeats, and finally became emperor.Middle-aged people fight with civil servants and generals, and cut off a few heads every month.In his later years, he devoted himself to studying books, and what he studied was still the law, and it was specifically for himself and his children and grandchildren.

In his words, as long as his descendants can act in accordance with the "Taizu Imperial Law", the Daliang Kingdom will last forever.It's just a pity that just after he died, his son completely abandoned the "Taizu Imperial Law" that he wrote so hard. Without him, there are too many rules in it, even eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet. Countless regulations, this is not the law, this is clearly a god who can't eat, can't sleep, and even goes to the toilet with constipation.

Liang Honglie was very conflicted. Let the prince be a county magistrate. He must sneak out to play every day, ignore the people's livelihood, and ignore the business. In the end, the people in that county will either starve to death or starve to death. Well, there is no other choice .Don't let the prince go, the founding emperor who wrote the imperial law is also his ancestor, although everyone in Daliang knows how funny the imperial law is, he can't violate it openly.

It's all old bastard Sun Chang, who actually said this in front of the court, leaving me no room for maneuver.Liang Honglie looked at Sun Shangshu with unfriendly eyes.

Sun Shangshu's face was respectful and serious, and he felt very helpless in his heart. He was probably the only one in Liangguo who was forced to this by his daughter, but it was nothing to be stared at by the emperor for the last few jars of century-old wine.

They were still making eye contact, but Chen Jian came out and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness was also the magistrate of Yanming County back then."

The eldest son of the emperor is gifted and intelligent, and he has already shown extraordinary management skills at a young age. When he was 12 years old, he served as a county magistrate in Yanming County for more than half a year.

Thinking of the dead eldest son of the emperor, Liang Honglie's expression darkened. He couldn't say what he wanted to say no to. If Liang Xi went to experience it, maybe, maybe, probably... he could grow up... right...

In this way, without Liang Xi's knowledge, he will be sent to a poor county to contribute to the local people's livelihood, which is really gratifying.

Why do you say that Liang Xi didn't know?Wasn't he supposed to listen to politics every day?

Oh, yes, originally he was supposed to listen to the government every day, but after he sneaked out of the palace and was arrested, Liang Xi was severely beaten, and it was Liang Honglie himself who beat his buttocks to pieces , now he can only lie on the bed, facing the two serious-looking old mothers.

At lunch time, when Lin Qiu came back from Kunning Palace, he happened to see Liang Xi twisting and writhing on the bed, obviously feeling flustered from being idle.

"Qiu'er, you're back." Liang Xi's eyes lit up.Ever since he slipped out of the palace that day, in order not to reveal his identity outside, Liang Xi called Lin Qiu "Qiu'er" several times. After returning to the palace, he felt that calling him "Crown Princess" was too pretentious, so he just kept calling him "Qiu'er". Son".

Lin Qiu nodded, sat down on the chair next to him, and began to look through some new account books brought from the queen.

During the period when Lin Qiu went to Yangui Mountain Farm, almost all the domestic business in the capital was suppressed, and the business of restaurants, pawnshops, silver houses, silk and satin houses... all dropped by nearly half, and this suppression is still going on. The surrounding counties radiate.

It’s not easy to investigate such things as domestic funds being suppressed. They didn’t smash your store or kick your door. They just opened a store like yours next door and bought the same things as you. The price is the same as the cost price... that's all.In Liangguo, where there are no market management regulations and no understanding of vicious competition, even if it is domestic money that is being suppressed, they can only investigate secretly.

But almost all the shops are the same. First, open a similar shop near the inner-funded shop, and then dig a shopkeeper from a certain restaurant, pawnshop, silver shop... at a high price, and let the shopkeeper be in charge of managing the shop. There is only one job, that is, They snatched away all the customers from the shop next door, and it was strange that none of the people behind the scenes could be found.

The account books in Lin Qiu's hand belonged to five silver houses. These five silver houses had the best masters in the capital. The ornaments made by the women in the capital used to be flocked to by women in the capital, but now they are empty, and they have all been replaced by the newly opened silver houses in the surrounding area. .With the same style and the same weight, those newly opened shops are much cheaper than these five silver shops. Although the handwork may not be as fine as these five shops, people are greedy for cheap.

"My palace sees that the princess is very idle recently, so let's take care of these five silver buildings." Even if she is dissatisfied with Liang Xi's playfulness, Empress Chu still feels distressed when he was beaten, after all, it fell from her body. Meat, because of this, I was a little dissatisfied with Lin Qiu, not only did not persuade, but also went out with Liang Xi to fool around, I might as well find something for you to do, as for whether Lin Qiu can take care of the Yinlou, Empress Chu has no idea at all. Don't worry, anyway, the business is already so bad, no matter how you do it, you can't lose there.

Lin Qiu was a little happy, and there was another task to do.
