Chapter 449 News of the locust plague coming

Imperial Palace, Chamber of Affairs.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, waiting for the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

After Du Wan entered the palace, she listened intently for a while and soon knew what was going on. It was really an extremely urgent problem. The drought in some places has not been completely solved, and the locust plague has come again. What is very headache is that the locusts are coming towards the direction of the capital.

Damn it!

This is really bad news.

The first thing Du Wan thought of was the farm she built herself.

It is not yet the harvest season, and if the locusts come, they will suffer heavy losses.

Du Wan didn't know how to deal with locust plague. The only thought of locusts is that some locusts can be eaten, and it is said that they are very fragrant when fried.

Du Wan walked forward while worried.

The people arrived in front of the House of Conventions.

The personal guard following her was carrying a large food box.

The eunuch quickly reported her to the emperor.

Du Wan stood outside the hall gate and looked inside, and then she met the emperor's gaze.

The emperor waved to her. Du Wan took the food box from the guard behind her, carried it in and walked straight to the emperor, "Uncle, it's so late, why haven't you rested?"

"It's you, so late, why did you enter the palace?"

"I thought my father was busy in the yamen and came to deliver food. Unexpectedly, when I went to the yamen, I realized that my father was still in the palace. I asked someone to go to the Imperial City Department again. When I learned that Pei Shizi was also in the palace, I came to the palace to see the situation." Du Wan said truthfully, but her eyes floated down.

I saw Prince Du and Pei Hao.

A group of ministers were discussing the management of locust plague.

Du Fuma was very moved when he heard that his daughter came to deliver food to him. But before he could say anything, he saw the emperor reaching out to the food box and lifting it open.

Du Fu Madam: "..."

The emperor is getting more and more naive!

I have to say that when the emperor saw the food in the food box, his appetite was very high.

Under Du Madam Du's eyes, the emperor picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. The big manager next to him wanted to stop it. He hadn't tried the poison yet, so how could he eat it directly?

Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to eat. "My dear friends, I must come up with a management plan tonight. I will let the imperial kitchen prepare the rice, and it will be delivered in a while."

Then the emperor asked the chief executive to bring out the food in the food box. It was not that the food was exquisite, but all the home-cooked dishes were not as good as those made in the imperial kitchen, but they tasted a different taste.

Du Wan looked at the food and said, "Uncle, I have prepared a double serving. Can my father eat it too?"

The emperor glanced at Prince Du and agreed.

Du Wan was happy, "Father, come and eat."

"Okay." Du Fumao stroked his long sleeves and sat aside.

Du Wan brought two bowls and chopsticks. The emperor and Du Fu Madam were just used. She saw Pei Hao regretfully and thought he would have his share.

Pei Hao met the little girl's eyes and felt warm.

The little girl came over quietly, quickly stuffed a peach for him, then returned to her original seat, and shook her eyes at him, which was very interesting.

Pei Hao quietly put the peaches in his sleeve bag. Here the emperor could eat, but Du Fuma could barely benefit from it. But he was the youngest and could not eat in front of a bunch of veteran ministers, and it was easy to get angry with the public.

Especially everyone is hungry...

Du Wan didn't think too much about him. Seeing that he didn't eat, he thought he was not hungry for the time being.

The food prepared in the imperial kitchen comes very quickly, with big fish and big meat, and small congee with steamed buns and buns. They are all simple foods that can be cooked quickly.

Pei Hao started eating with the flow, and took a meat bun and handed it to his little girl, "Wanwan, it's still hot, eat one?"

"Thank you." Du Wan was not hungry, but everyone was eating, and it was not suitable for her to just watch from the side.

Pei Hao took advantage of the action of handing the buns to the little girl and sat next to her and ate gracefully and quickly.

The two are unmarried couples, so they don’t think anything is there when they sit together.

Pei Hao asked casually: "Wanwan, you can calculate with your fingers, how to prevent locust plague?"

"I don't understand. But in this case, it's best to harvest the crops that can be harvested in the fields as soon as possible to reduce losses." Du Wan really doesn't understand how to control locust plagues. She has heard some sayings, "I heard that chickens and ducks can also rush to the fields to eat insect eggs."

Du Wan didn't say that locusts can be eaten.

Not all locusts can be eaten. Some locusts are poisonous, and locusts in the wild can also have parasites. Another important reason is that the people of the Great Qin Kingdom are superstitious and think that the locust plague is mysterious and no one dares to eat them.

Pei Hao thought after hearing this.

Du Wan waited for them to finish eating, but did not stay any longer. She put the empty dishes into the food box and said considerately that she would not disturb everyone's work, so she carried the empty food box out.

After going out, she carried the food box to her guard and said, "Go back home."

Du Wan hurried out of the palace.

Qin Yuyu, who heard that she entered the palace and arranged for someone to inquire about the news, couldn't guess what she wanted to do for a moment, "Have you left the palace? So fast?"

"I've left the palace, I saw it myself." The palace maid knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

Qin Yuyu asked again: "Was there anyone following her when she left?"

I heard that Pei Shizi was in the palace, would he leave the palace with her? Qin Yuyu didn’t want to admit it, and this possibility is very high.

The palace maid answered truthfully: "I am following people and carrying food boxes."

"Who is it?" Qin Yuyu was so jealous that he was about to tear his handkerchief.

The palace maid hesitated and said, "Perhaps it's a personal guard?"

"What? Isn't it Pei Shizi?"

"No."

"Okay, go back."

Qin Yuyu learned that she had misunderstood, so she was not angry. Then she asked about Tang Zhixing. After contacting him, she had no disgust towards him.

If you don’t marry someone, Qin Yuyu doesn’t care who you want to marry again. Before she returned to the palace, she could contact the best person, Xie Zhang. But later she found that she couldn’t control someone like Xie Zhang. She could be an ally, but she would forget it if she was a husband and wife.

Although she cried in front of the queen, she still had to live her life after crying. From childhood to adulthood, she knew how to do it so that she could live a better life...

Let’s talk about Du Wan who returned to the mansion, first go to see the eldest princess and tell her about the situation of Du Prince Du, so that she doesn’t have to worry and wait for him to come back. She will go to bed first if she is late.

Out of the main courtyard.

It was already dark outside, and Du Wan still asked to meet Zhuang Cong.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Zhuang Cong happens to be in the city these days. He sent someone to notify him, and Zhuang Cong will soon come to see Du Wan.

Zhuang Cong saluted respectfully, "I would like to pay my respects to the princess."

"No need to be polite. If you are so late, you are invited to come here to discuss things." Du Wan immediately told the news that the locust plague was coming, and asked Zhuangcong to seize the time to harvest the crops that the farm can harvest. "Don't think it's a pity. The locusts will pass by, and even leaves will not be left behind."
