Chapter 913 If there is no crown prince, I am a sinner
"Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers..."
Xiao Chen interrupted the man, "If a man and a woman like each other, there is no conflict between their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words!" Then he pulled Xie Ying and walked into the crowd.
The people looked at the two princes of the royal family and their fiancés, behaving so intimately in public...
That's not helping people get in and out of the carriage.
But they really look like a married couple walking hand in hand...
Among the crowd, a young man was excited. Was the emperor really going to rule for the common people and let them live a life of physical and mental freedom?
Thinking about it, he mustered up his courage and took the hand of his fiancée beside his ex-wife, "Ahui, we will be happy forever, right?"
Ah Hui blushed and tried to pull her hand away, but the young man held it tightly. "Now, the emperor's new policy allows men and women to fall in love freely. We are still engaged. The King of Yue and the King of Chen can go shopping hand in hand, so why can't we?"
The crowd cheered, "Hold hands, hold hands..."
The young man's face turned red, but he still held his fiancée's hand tightly, and ran through the crowd just like the Prince of Chen just now.
Nowadays, on the streets of the capital, there are men and women, young and old, and there are indeed countless times more women.
Xiao Zhenzhen and Zhou Yiqing went to several jewelry stores and finally chose two jade pendants as tokens of their love.
The two behaved gracefully and did not seem embarrassed when being watched.
The woman was pretty, wearing a four-clawed dragon robe. Her every move brought a strong breeze, and she looked like a military general. It seemed that His Royal Highness the King of Yue was really going to the battlefield!
Some people think that it is too bold for men and women to appear on the street together, while others think it is a good thing. Women in the countryside mostly participate in labor and occasionally expose their arms and legs. They have no choice but to do so in order to survive.
Nowadays, no matter whether they are rich or poor, women can go out and see the world outside their homes. There is nothing wrong with that.
The streets were full of guards patrolling, and there were also plainclothes Jin Jinyiwei lurking. If they encountered old stubborn people, they would give them verbal warnings and education at the very least, and at the worst they would be taken away and sent to the mines to do hard labor.
After dark.
Xie Yunchu also returned to the palace from the Propaganda Department. Seeing the mountain of memorials on Xiao Yao's desk, he felt so distressed that he helped her massage without taking off his clothes.
Xiao Yao was reviewing and scolding at the same time.
Xie Yunchu pretended not to hear anything and waited until her anger subsided a little before saying, "The situation is relatively stable now. Some old feudal and old ideas will slowly disappear."
"There are too many people in the prison. What a waste of food! There are not enough mines for them to dig!"
Xie Yunchu massaged her temples and said, "Before this, my sister exiled many people to Lingnan..."
"Yes, what, do you have any ideas?"
"Indeed, there is, but I don't know if it will succeed."
Xiao Yao then held his hand and said, "Stop pressing. Your hands must be sore from pressing for so long."
She looked at Xie Yunchu and said, "Why don't you tell me about it?"
Xie Yunchu said: "I didn't do anything else in the Propaganda Department, but I almost walked around the entire capital, and I heard a lot of new things."
Xiao Yao looked at him: Go on.
The man took a deep breath and continued, "I heard someone say that they received a letter from Lingnan. Although there are many mosquitoes and poisonous miasma over there, and it is too wild, the climate there is very good. Some people grow good crops there. If we drive those old guys to Lingnan and develop Lingnan, it will not be a bad thing."
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, "So, we have to send troops, otherwise, who knows if those people will be serious about opening up the wasteland?"
"If they don't open up the wasteland, they will face the dilemma of starvation. As for whether to send troops to them..."
Xie Yunchu paused for a moment, looked at him and said, "As long as there are many people, mosquitoes and poisonous miasma should be avoided."
"Many people have been exiled to Lingnan before," said Xiao Yao.
"Then continue. Anyone who disobeys the new policy in all parts of Cangyun will be taken there to open up wasteland for the country. If they grow food, it will also be the country's grain reserves. If they can't grow food, they can just chew tree bark and eat weeds."
Xiao Yao chuckled. When Xie Yunchu said the latter part of the sentence, his tone was a bit joking.
Her man is really nice.
Xie Yunchu's heartbeat quickened when he saw her look. "Actually, I know a good way to relieve stress."
Xiao Yao looked at him, "Hmm?"
"I've glanced at all these memorials from my sister. They are all about problems that have arisen after the reform. They are all similar. Why don't we relax for now?"
This is relaxing...
Xiao Yao knew what Xie Yunchu wanted to do.
The frown was smoothed by a gentle hand. Xiao Yao stood up and hooked her arm around the young man's neck. "If you can't serve me well, I don't want you to serve me anymore?"
Her words were meant to be a joke, but Xie Yunchu felt a tightness in his heart, as if something had stabbed him.
"If my sister doesn't want me, then who does she want?" His bright eyes dimmed and darkened in an instant.
Xiao Yao was stunned, "I'm just kidding you."
"This joke is not funny." Xie Yunchu almost blurted out. The top three winners of this year's exam were all very good-looking and knowledgeable. The most important thing was that the top three winners were not married yet!
It would be fine if she had charismatic warriors like Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu around her, but she also had several handsome and knowledgeable young talents...
She is the emperor.
Will she be attracted to those people?
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore."
Xiao Yao didn't expect that she would end up coaxing him instead. "Have you had any worries lately?"
Xie Yunchu opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
After all, Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu had never crossed the line, let alone the top scholar Zhang He and the third scholar Li Ziqing...
Thinking about it, Xie Yunchu felt that Chujiu should be sent somewhere else. It was all because of Chujiu. He always felt that he was using his beauty to please men, and he was afraid that one day his beauty would fade and his love would slacken!
"No." Xie Yunchu responded, then put his arms around her slender waist and carried her to the dragon table. He lowered his head, held her hand, his eyes gentle and affectionate.
Xiao Yao lifted his head up, leaned over and kissed the young man on the lips, "You're still saying no? We grew up together, how could I not know you?"
Xie Yunchu smiled, but it was hard to express his feelings.
It makes him act like a little woman.
"Sister said that if I can't serve her well, she doesn't want me to serve her anymore. But sister said that now we can have one wife and one concubine. After those people gradually accept it, we can implement monogamy."
Xiao Yao nodded.
"Sister, do you want to take a concubine?"
Xiao Yao opened her mouth and twisted his ear with her jade hand, "You want me to take a concubine?"
"No."
"Then why do you ask like that?"
He was jealous, especially when he saw her flat belly. Xie Yunchu didn't dare to look at her. "Until now, we still don't have a child. You are the emperor. If there is no crown prince, I will be a sinner."
puff...
Xiao Yao laughed, "Yun Chu, why do you think so?"
