Li Yunze hugged her and sat on his lap, "Tongtong, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to leave.
You take good care of yourself at home alone and eat on time. If you don’t want to cook it, take out the ingredients in advance and let the maids do it. "
Ye Yutong felt very sad to hear that they would be separated for so long.
She hugged Li Yunze's neck and rubbed her head against his face, "There are so many servants in the palace, and my parents, eldest and second brothers are also in the capital, so don't worry about me.
On the contrary, you are facing many dangers when you go south. You must come back to me unscathed, otherwise I will not be able to spare you. "
Li Yunze stroked her long hair and said in an unusually gentle voice, "Yes, I understand."
"By the way, brother, when will they set off? I'll have someone send him some medicine." Ye Yutong asked him.
Li Yunze said: "Due to the emergency of the disaster, we will prepare today and leave tomorrow morning. How about we go back in the evening. We haven't been there for several days and we just want to go back to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"That's fine."
Ye Yutong suddenly remembered that Li Yunze said before going to court in the morning that he would pick strawberries and give them to the minister.
"I was only thinking about entering the space to prepare medicinal materials, but I forgot about it."
Li Yunze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's okay. Later, you will give instructions to the various governments and ask the wives to come to the palace tomorrow to enjoy flowers and pick strawberries. Then you will take the lead in donating some money to the victims, so that everyone can do their best for the people in the disaster area. Partial force.”
Ye Yutong glanced at him with a half-smile. Then he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Isn't that bad? What if someone said that we are greedy for money, that would be unpleasant."
Li Yunze pinched her cheek and said seriously: "How can this be called greed for money? It's obvious that you ladies are soft-hearted and don't want to see the victims suffer, but you donate voluntarily, and we don't force you to donate. Should we donate? Or donate more or less, That’s what they want.”
Ye Yutong said seriously: "What the emperor said is true, but I have a different idea."
The couple looked at each other and smiled, both thinking this was a wonderful move.
In recent years, natural disasters have continued in Yunchao Kingdom, and several generations of emperors have failed to do anything.
When Li Yunze ascended the throne, the treasury was almost empty.
But these ministers are all very rich.
The famines of the past few years have not only had little impact on them.
Some people also made a lot of money from food and grass, and this time they had to vomit some out.
Ye Yutong decided that in the future, ministers must be more involved in such good deeds.
We need to dig out everyone's kindness and love, but not bury it, otherwise what a pity!
The couple whispered for a while, and Li Yunze suddenly picked her up and said, "Let's go eat. I made your favorite braised short ribs today."
"What are you doing? Let me down quickly? I'm so embarrassed to be seen." Ye Yutong struggled to think about it, but Li Yunze wouldn't let go and carried her to the dining room with a smile.
In the afternoon, each government received a message from the Queen, inviting them to come to the palace tomorrow to enjoy the flowers and taste the strawberries grown by the emperor himself.
Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion
The Prime Minister's wife threw the post on the table with ridicule and disdain in her eyes.
There had just been news of a flood in Yongzhou, but the Queen held a banquet at this juncture and invited people to the palace to enjoy the flowers and enjoy themselves.
I am afraid that only a peasant girl who does not understand the rules could prepare such an inappropriate banquet.
No matter how disdainful everyone was, they all came to the palace for the banquet the next day.
Ye Yutong sat at the top and said with a smile: "I had a great time chatting with all the ladies last time.
It happened that the cucumbers and tomatoes planted by the emperor were blooming, and the chickens and ducks were laying eggs.
Especially the strawberries in that yard are growing beautifully, and they taste sour and sweet, very delicious.
I think about such good things, the emperor and I can't eat alone.
I sent a message to all the ladies, inviting you to come and see the flowers, and taste the strawberries grown by the emperor himself. "
Mrs. Wu stood up and saluted Ye Yutong, and said movedly: "Empress, you and the emperor are reluctant to grow some fruits to eat yourself, and you want to let us guys taste them. I am very touched by this."
Ye Yutong touched the goosebumps on his arms and almost couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Wu and the Minister of Rites are really like a couple. They flatter each other as soon as they open their mouths.
Although it is a bit flattering, it is not annoying at all.
Ye Yutong thought to himself that this should be the highest level of flattery.
She and Ping An need such knowledgeable and wonderful people around them.
She glanced at Linglan, and the girl immediately helped Mrs. Wu to her seat.
Ye Yutong then smiled and said: "The ministers work hard on state affairs all day long, and the ladies help them take care of the elderly and educate their children at home.
Let all your Lordships share the Emperor's worries without any worries. I admire you very much, Madams.
When I saw those juicy strawberries yesterday, I wanted all the ladies to try them too. "
"Thank you, Queen, for your love." Everyone thanked them in unison.
Ye Yutong stood up with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take all the ladies to the strawberry garden."
Dozens of married women followed Ye Yutong to the strawberry garden.
Looking at the bright red strawberries, several ladies asked Ye Yutong for permission and ran to the fields to pick them themselves.
Those who were aloof and could not let go of their figure stood on the sidelines and watched them pick.
Song Jingyan picked one and put it in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly brightened, "It tastes so good. I have never tasted such a good-tasting fruit."
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Sister Jingyan, if you like it, take a basket back with you when you leave."
"Then I'm not welcome." Song Jingyan smiled and said to the ladies picking strawberries: "Ladies, please be merciful. Don't finish picking, leave some for me."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and teased her, "Mrs. Shizi, we have a problem with you eating and taking."
After saying that, he smiled and saluted Ye Yutong, "Queen, you can't treat one favorably and favor another. We have to take some back with us when we leave."
Ye Yutong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll have them all picked off later. When you leave, each of you can take some back for your family to taste. Although it's not much, it's a little bit of my heart and the emperor's."
Everyone cheered and said, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
