Chapter 126 Daddy, No!
The minister closed his eyes nervously. Almost in an instant, the table above his head split into two halves. The memorials on it were scattered all over the floor, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone all fell to the ground. He looked in a mess.
Eunuch Li, who was outside the room, felt nervous when he heard the noise. He looked inside and saw this scene.
I was wondering, didn't the little princess just go in? Why was the emperor still so angry? Wasn't he afraid of scaring the princess?
Although the scene inside was chaotic, Eunuch Li turned his head, straightened his back and acted as a gatekeeper, as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere inside was very depressing. The ministers below closed their eyes when they heard the sound, fearing that the teacup would fall on their heads in the next second.
They dare not look.
Xia Qingqing knew what they were thinking one step ahead of time. She did not expect Xia Xuan to be so furious and stood there in a daze. To outsiders, this was an expression of Xia Qingqing's sadness after hearing what she heard.
Xia Xuan just smashed the table, and the next second he immediately turned around to look at Xia Qingqing's reaction. He couldn't control his temper for a moment, but when he saw Xia Qingqing's dazed look, he became even angrier.
When I saw the child was sad, I didn’t know how to react and I was stunned!
"Don't be sad, Nannan. Daddy won't let anyone hurt you. When Daddy finds them, he will punish them severely!"
But what Xia Xuan didn't expect was that Xia Qingqing was frightened by his actions. After Xia Qingqing reacted, she quickly grabbed Xia Xuan.
I was afraid that he would really send people out to arrest people. These rumors had been spread by so many people and had long since become distorted.
"Daddy, don't!" Xia Xuan frowned and looked at Xia Qingqing, not knowing why, "Why not? How dare they say that to you? Where does this put the emperor's dignity?"
To put it simply, this is referring to Xia Qingqing, but to put it more seriously, it is a challenge to the emperor's authority.
This is unbearable for either of them.
But Xia Qingqing felt that this matter was not that simple. How did they know that she did it? What had been presented to the outside world was the court's disaster relief.
After Xia Xuan got angry, he obviously remembered this incident. He was stunned for a few seconds and sat down with a dark face.
He restrained his emotions and asked the ministers below, "Do you know who spread this?"
The ministers hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Your Majesty, we just heard about it by chance among the people, and we don't know who did it."
The rumor was spreading everywhere, and the source was difficult to trace. If it was spread intentionally by someone with ulterior motives, then it was aimed at Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was just a little kid over one year old. Why would anyone be afraid of her?
She herself couldn't figure it out, but after Xia Xuan came to his senses, he naturally knew the pros and cons. Xia Qingqing began to show her talent since she was a child.
From successfully praying for rain, to learning medicine at a young age, and doing very well, he even developed greenhouse vegetables.
All of this shows that Xia Qingqing is a genius. All of this can help Longxia Country become better, just like these greenhouse vegetables, which indirectly affected the economy of Longxia Country.
If this kind of vegetable could be grown in the desert area on the border, the soldiers there would not have to go hungry, and they would have more strength to resist foreign enemies.
Thinking about the previous wars, food had to be transported from the Jiangnan area, which took a very long time. If enough food was grown locally, there would be no risk of starvation.
If they can think of these things, then the enemy can certainly think of these things as well. It is possible that these messages were sent out by them because they don't want Xia Qingqing to continue to develop.
Xia Qingqing thought it through and sneered in her heart. Since they were so scared, she had to do better so that they would never dare to invade their Longxia Kingdom again!
Xia Xuan waved his hand to let the ministers go out. They were the only two left in the hall. After careful consideration, Xia Xuan decided to coax Xia Qingqing.
"Nannan, don't be sad. Don't take this matter to heart."
"Daddy, my daughter is not sad." She knew Xia Xuan's worry, and her heart felt warm. This emperor, who was said to be cold outside, was actually so good to his daughter.
"If you're not sad, then why do you have that expression? Don't lie to Daddy."
Xia Xuan didn't believe it at all. He was clearly stunned and sad just now.
Xia Qingqing chuckled a few times and took Xia Xuan's hand.
"Dad, I'm really not sad. I was just thinking about what they said just now about the people not having money to buy seeds."
Xia Xuan was relieved when he saw that there was indeed no sad expression on Xia Qingqing's face. As long as she was not sad, it was fine.
"Don't worry about this matter. Daddy will find a way." Xia Xuan wanted Xia Qingqing to have fun and not worry about these things. These were things that he should worry about.
Xia Qingqing didn't move. Seeing this, Xia Xuan had no choice but to ask.
"How do you think this should be done?"
Xia Xuan knew in his heart that Xia Qingqing must have a way, otherwise she wouldn't have said that. Sure enough, Xia Qingqing said it out loud the next second.
"Since they don't have silver, just give them silver."
Xia Qingqing spoke as if it was a matter of course, and looked at Xia Xuan with her eyes wide open, making him feel that Xia Qingqing was a piece of uncontaminated white jade.
Thinking of those ministers who complained to him every day about the empty treasury, he felt a headache.
"We have done our best in recent disaster relief work. Whether it is providing them with seeds or silver, we cannot let them get it easily."
Xia Qingqing did not notice the embarrassment in Xia Xuan's eyes and spoke firmly that she had just thought of it.
The reason why food was distributed to them before was because of the disaster relief provided by the imperial court. This made them feel that this matter was very simple and even made them a little arrogant.
Yes, in Xia Qingqing's eyes, they were just too arrogant. Not only were they ungrateful for the disaster relief provided by the imperial court, they even plotted against her.
This also made her realize that things that come easily are often not cherished.
Then let them work hard to get it, and let them know that although the court can help you, you still have to pay what you should pay.
So that they don’t think this matter is very simple, just like when we gave them greenhouse vegetables before, some people were still not satisfied. Isn’t that greedy?
This time it will definitely not be like before, where doing good things only brought about infamy.
"If Daddy believes Nannan, how about letting Nannan do this?"
