"Miss Lin, come and try this, it's good." In the backyard of the palace, Jia Po was grilling barbecue, and from time to time he would give the skewers in his hand to Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing.
"Yubai, this is delicious, you should eat some too." Qin Keqing looked at Jiapo who was grilling skewers, her eyes full of smiles, her beloved husband had given her a lot of surprises.
"Your Majesty is so partial, I'm jealous." Lin Daiyu has become more and more bold recently, especially after someone said something to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu began to express her feelings to Japer without even trying to hide it.
"What Miss Lin said, I didn't neglect the girl," Japer looked at Lin Daiyu who was pouting and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Leng Bu Luo, knows it in his heart." Lin Daiyu turned her pretty face away from Japer and said with a chuckle.
"Giggle! I don't see how you are jealous of Yu Bai. You are obviously jealous of me." Qin Keqing giggled and walked to Lin Daiyu and whispered in her ear.
"Oh! Sister Qin, why are you bullying me like this? I won't obey you." Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned red instantly, and she rushed towards Qin Keqing, making a fuss between them.
Japer watched the two playing with a smile on his face.
"Prince, the girls are coming to eat!" Japer shouted while looking at the little ones still playing.
"Brother, I want meat, brother, I want meat, and I want it too." After a while, the four little ones ran over. The prince's eyes lit up when he saw the barbecue and he wanted to eat it. Little Xichun also reached out for meat.
"Everything is good, Tanchun, Yingchun, you guys can eat too." Seeing that he didn't know what to eat, Japer handed the bracelets in his hand to everyone.
"tasty!"
"Brother is the best, geez!"
"Your Majesty, the mother and daughter of the Xue family would like to see you." Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Grandma Zhang came over to report.
"Mammy, please go and invite them over." Mammy Zhang was sent by the queen to educate Sanchun. She was also an old man in the palace. She worked hard to educate Sanchun. She was a very good old lady. Japer was very fond of her. Very respectful too.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is my official business. I will invite the guests over right away." After saying this, he bowed and invited the Xue family's mother and daughter.
After a while, the mother and daughter arrived in the back garden. When they stepped into the garden, they saw Japer grilling skewers, and there were two women who were as good-looking as themselves helping him. Their faces were also full of smiles, Miharu and a young man. And many maids are eating happily.
"I didn't expect that Prince Zhongping, who seemed so difficult to get along with, was so approachable in private." Xue Baochai murmured to himself.
"No need to salute, come here and sit down." Seeing the Xue family mother and daughter approaching, Japer interrupted with a smile before they saluted.
"Come and taste it. I baked it and see if it suits your taste." Japer said with a smile, looking at the Xue family's mother and daughter sitting down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Xue family's mother and daughter quickly thanked him.
"There is no prince today. If you are willing to call me Brother Po, that's fine." Japer said with a smile.
"Brother Po, mother and daughter are here today..." Seeing that Jia Po was not as difficult to communicate as when they first met, Xue Baochai spoke boldly.
"Aunt, sister Baochai, I know everything about you, and I also know your purpose of coming. I accept your wishes. You can take your things back later!" Before the Xue family's mother and daughter could finish speaking, Japer stopped her mother with a smile. The two women continued talking.
Hearing what Japer said, the mother and daughter looked at each other and were shocked, thinking that Japer was not satisfied with the gift they gave. You must know that the gift they gave contained as much as one million taels of silver, and now The monthly expenses of a family of five in Daxing were only two taels of silver, so you can imagine how big a gift this was.
"Brother Po, I came here in a hurry today, so the gift is a little thin. I will prepare a generous gift for Brother Po later to express my feelings." Aunt Xue said quickly with a smile, without any change in her expression.
"Haha! Auntie, although I have separated and lived a different life, after all, you and I are still close relatives. I have enough food and clothing in my house. Why don't Auntie exchange these silver coins for food and help the refugees? Some porridge, so it can be considered as sharing your Majesty's worries." Japer saw that Aunt Xue had misunderstood his words, so he smiled and explained what he meant straightforwardly.
"Just listen to Brother Po's convenience." Seeing that Jia Po didn't seem to be hypocritical, Xue Baochai quickly pulled Aunt Xue who wanted to continue talking and said in a personal voice.
"Brother Prince, how can you waste food!"
Just when Jia Po, Qin Keqing, and Lin Daiyu were entertaining Aunt Xue and her daughter, Jia Yingchun's sweet shouts came.
"The prince is here too!" Aunt Xue and her daughter looked at each other in shock.
Turning around, he saw Jia Xichun with an angry face and his little hands glaring at a young master. The young master was not angry, but looked begging for mercy. Er Chun and the maids and maids around him also covered their mouths and snickered. The Xue family was watching. Mother and daughter were shocked.
"Prince, why are you wasting food?" Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing brought the prince, Xiao Xichun, to Jia Po. Lin Daiyu asked softly. The two of them are the best to the four children, better than Japer is to them, so these children are willing to listen to them.
"Sister Lin, I don't like eating vegetables!" The prince lowered his head and said aggrievedly.
"That can't be wasted! Did you know? There are still many people who don't even have food to eat!" Lin Daiyu whispered softly when she saw the prince looking like this.
"Then what do they eat?" After hearing Lin Daiyu say that the people had no food, the little prince raised his head and asked curiously.
"Many of them starved to death. Some ate tree roots and some ate leaves." Japer said before Lin Daiyu could speak.
"Brother, why don't they have food to eat?" The prince was surprised when he heard from Japer that the people were starving to death. Some people ate tree roots and some ate leaves. He was punished by his father and was not allowed to eat. He knew it was very uncomfortable to be hungry. He knew that the roots and leaves of the trees were inedible, but he wanted to know why the people had no food to eat.
"There are many reasons, including natural disasters, wars, corrupt officials bullying people and other reasons." Japer knelt down and said softly.
"Then is there a way to make sure they all have enough to eat?" the little prince asked with a serious face.
"Yes! But you need to study hard and realize it when you grow up. I will help you." Seeing the little prince like this, Japer knew in his heart that this boy is not bad in nature. If he is taught well, he will become a wise king again.
"Brother, I know what to do." After hearing what Jiapo said, the little prince ran to Xiao Xichun, ignored the surprise of everyone present and ate the bunch of green vegetables thrown on the ground in several bites, and then took Xiao Xichun to play.
Mother and daughter of the Xue family saw all this. They watched Jiapo teach the prince the whole time, and they did not dare to have the slightest contempt for everyone present.
I thought Sanchun was only favored by Japo, but I didn't expect that she also had a very good relationship with the prince, especially Xichun, who was similar in age to the prince. She was wearing a jade pendant and a bracelet that were exclusively used by the royal family. The bracelet was worn by women. It was obviously a gift from the Queen, but the jade pendant was worn by men. It was impossible for the emperor to reward such a thing to a little girl. It could only be a gift from the prince.
Erchun also has royal accessories. Although they are not as expensive as Xichun's, they also reflect the queen's love for them.
Qin Keqing and the others knew that Jiapo was the king and they shared the honor, so she was destined to be Princess Jiapo. And judging from the attitudes of Lin Daiyu and the two of them, she might also be the concubine.
According to the rules of Daxing: "A prince can have one wife, two wives and six concubines, all of whom are bound by official orders.
At this time, Xue Baochai looked at Jiapo with eyes that were filled with excitement.
Aunt Xue looked at her daughter, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking and was very worried.
