"Your Majesty, the head of Tai Feng, the largest grain merchant in Zhoufu, is Governor Ma's brother-in-law. They insisted that they were also affected by the disaster and that all the grain was washed away by the flood. They also said that they wanted to ask us for help!" Next! The subordinate officer Luo Yuan looked calm, but the anger in his eyes revealed his thoughts.
"Governor Ma is the cousin of the eldest son of Prince Zhi. In addition, because of Princess Wenwan's incident, he will definitely be in trouble now." Shen Jian looked troubled.
"Now because of Tai Fung Bank's delay in paying, except for some wealthy households who started to borrow food, they are now retreating. I am sure that Tai Fung Bank must have food. How could such a large trading house have no protection? Measures." Luo Yuan was angry.
"It doesn't matter, let's go out for a walk first." King Zheng was not in a hurry at all and led everyone to continue patrolling. In fact, if it were before, King Zheng would still take it into consideration, because the emperor was disgusted with him before. If someone deliberately slanders him, the old man will definitely reprimand him. So before, he had always been cautious, making sure not to fall into any trap in anything he did.
But in the past few years, the emperor's attitude towards him has softened a lot, and he even gave him a reward during the Chinese New Year. This time, he personally selected the general and appointed him as the imperial envoy. As long as he could do things according to the laws of the country, he would not look down upon the brother-in-law of a prince's cousin. As long as he found out the specific amount of food, he would naturally have a way to get them to deliver it.
As long as we survive these ten days, food from surrounding provinces will arrive. This errand is almost over. This job was much easier than I thought.
King Zheng couldn¡¯t help but shook his head when he thought that all of this was dragging down Wen Wan¡¯s blessing. Normally, I, as the elder, should take care of my niece, but I didn't expect it. He actually had to rely on gentleness to change his fate. Thinking of his niece's filial piety and love for him, and what happened this time, King Zheng was still very warm in his heart. Either way, it's a good start.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the capital." Seeing that it was a letter written by Wen Wan, King Zheng opened it with a smile. It's really rare. Just when I was thinking about her, the letter here arrived. But as I read what Wen Wan wrote, my brows furrowed more and more.
After reading it. Put your hands down. The staff next to him asked, "Your Majesty, what did the princess say to the prince that embarrassed him and made him look so ugly?"
King Zheng breathed out softly, "Wen Wan said that she had read a travel note written by someone, saying that plague would usually occur in major disasters. She asked me to handle it carefully. She also wrote me a lot of suggestions. It can prevent and reduce plague. infect."
Shen Jian opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. They are still worried that the food has not arrived yet and the victims will have nothing to eat. The princess thought of the big trouble of the plague. "Princess, you are really a smart person. No wonder you can be so cared for by the emperor. Before I was old, I really made a mistake."
¡°Come, pass my orders and post notices¡± These are some prevention methods written by Wen Wan. For example, water sources must be kept clean and pure. You must also drink boiled water, absolutely not cold water, as it is easy to get sick and cause the spread of plague; rats are the most likely thing to spread plague Anyway, Wen Wan is writing down what she knows. I learned this when I was in SAS. Fortunately, I have a good memory and can remember a little bit.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the food issue?" Luo Yuan, King Zheng's personal guard, felt a little worried. After all, there is not much food on hand.
King Zheng sneered and said, "No problem. When fishing, you need to catch something big. A small piece of rice. It doesn't interest me. How is the collection of evidence going?"
After hearing this, Luo Yuan said, "We have collected a lot of evidence. This evidence is enough to prove that the prefect here has embezzled money for disaster relief."
King Zheng glanced at the blue sky. Then he said, "Secure it first and imprison it secretly. You must get enough things out. Don't scare the snake." This time, King Zheng planned to dig deep.
Imperial Palace, Changchun Palace
The next day, Wen Wan entered the palace again. Eat and drink tea with the emperor. The emperor looked at Wen Wan eating with a look of enjoyment, and his own appetite was also greatly increased. The more you eat, the more you eat. When I came out, I was stopped again.
"Princess, Concubine De has invited you." Just as I was thinking about it, someone came to invite me.
Wen Wan is actually very depressed. Everyone thinks of themselves as the people who suggested to the emperor to let his uncle serve as the imperial envoy. She has learned the rules and knows that there are things that women are not allowed to do in politics. How could she not cherish her own life and do something that would mean seeking death? Hey, I really didn¡¯t say a kind word for Uncle King Zheng back then! Why is Uncle Zheng now on duty in Henan, and everyone is looking at him? That is because Uncle Zheng has the ability to entrust Grandpa Emperor with important tasks. It has nothing to do with him. If he is a fool, will the Emperor and Grandpa appoint him? How many times have I said it???No one believes it. Hey, no one believes the truth, how sad!
I don¡¯t know what the emperor¡¯s grandfather thought. He expressed that he didn¡¯t want to socialize, but he said that it was good to be familiar with each other. The devil wanted to get acquainted with them, so he was very unhappy and ignored the emperor for a long time. The emperor laughed loudly when he saw it, and said, you silly girl, how dare you look down on me. Then he said that they were elders after all, and it was only etiquette to pay them a visit after being in the palace for such a long time. Wen Wan just refused to go, so she put it off until now. Yesterday I was invited over by Concubine Xian, and today I was invited over by Concubine De.
Needless to say, the palace is magnificent. Now we will walk to the Changchun Palace where Concubine De lives. It is full of flowers and it is a beautiful scenery. It's completely different from the layout at Concubine Xian's place. The layout here is elegant and natural, making people very comfortable. After entering the inner hall, Concubine De came out to greet her in person. Wen Wan hurriedly bowed as a junior.
Concubine De is now thirty-seven years old and looks only in her mid-20s. Wearing a light blue flowery palace dress, the wide hem has rusty patterns. She is wearing a flowing cloud bun, with an exquisite jade hairpin on her head, decorated with thin pearl tassels. The appearance is even more first-class, which makes Wen Wan's eyes go straight. With ice-cold skin and snow-skinned skin, gorgeous posture, tenderness and grace, people are captivated by it. After Wen Wan read it, she was filled with admiration in her heart. She is a beauty, a real beauty.
Xia Yu pushed Wen Wan, who was looking dazed. After Wen Wan woke up, she was not embarrassed. Instead, he drew excitedly at Xia Yu for a while and wrote several words.
Xia said, then smiled and said proverbs, and said to the puzzled Concubine De, "The princess said that she was stunned by the beauty of Concubine De, and couldn't help but think of a poem: "A peerless beauty is rare, and it will overwhelm the country. A pair of them. Lingdai is far away from the mountain eyebrows, but I dare not look at each other.'
"Haha, the princess has such a clever mouth. I am old, how can you say something so beautiful." Although she was modest, the proud and proud look in her eyes still betrayed her joyful mood. Which woman doesn't like to be praised, but being praised directly in the palace is still so interesting and exaggerated, and naturally she feels particularly comfortable.
Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart. Of course I speak from the bottom of my heart. If this face were to appear in modern times, it would definitely be a crowd-pleaser. A truly evil person, the emperor's grandfather was truly blessed. I don¡¯t know how many men I envy.
However, Wen Wan secretly admired it in her heart. Wen Wan knew that the Sixteenth Prince had turned sixteen last year and was thrown into the fief by an imperial edict from the Emperor's grandfather. Even if I gave birth to a child when I was fifteen or sixteen, I would still be in my thirties now. Unexpectedly, there are such good colors. Sure enough, women still need to take good care of themselves.
And with this opening statement, the atmosphere became lively and relaxed.
"What happened last time was that this child from Xinze had a bad temper and offended the princess. I have already issued an order to reprimand him and asked my brother to discipline him strictly. Please don't take it to heart, Princess De." He apologized to his nephew with a smile.
Wen Wan immediately said that she had forgotten about it a long time ago. Concubine De was very happy to see Wen Wan being so polite. Following Wen Wan, she said this and that, but what she said was all commonplace. Like female workers, cooking skills, poetry, etc.
When Wen Wan heard that she wanted to be a female celebrity, her face immediately dropped. Hey, female celebrity, although she can do it, it¡¯s really painful. She doesn¡¯t want to do it, it¡¯s tiring for her eyes.
"The princess is most afraid of female celebrities? Haha, Wenwan, you are the princess of the royal family. It doesn't matter if you are not good at needlework. Princess, don't think I talk too much. You still need to learn the basics. In the future, you will be great Well, you still have to make your undergarments and other personal items yourself. It¡¯s not a good idea to bother the embroiderer about this,¡± Concubine De said sincerely. Wen Wan nodded in agreement.
"Our princess is so smart. If you have to learn, you will be good at it, right?" Half coaxing and half applauding.
Wen Wan could not help but admire silently in her heart. The scale of her speech is very precise. It doesn't make you feel that she is prying into you, but you can still get information, her appreciation, and make you feel comfortable. Wen Wan looked at her like that, and finally understood why the emperor's grandfather liked her so much. She had an exquisite heart with seven orifices and a warm and lively personality, which was exactly what filled the old man's heart. How could he not be favored by the Sixth Palace?
Concubine De enthusiastically persuaded Wenwan to have dinner at her Changchun Palace. It was hard to resist the gentle hospitality, so we ate there. Unexpectedly, the emperor's grandfather also came to join in the fun.
He asked Wen Wan if he said those two words. After getting the answer, the emperor laughed. The emperor found that Wenwan always had something that made him happy. No, her gentle words made her feel happy again. Concubine De looked at the emperor, her beautiful eyes were as tender as water and full of honey. Ever since the emperor's grandfather came in, his beautiful eyes had never left the emperor's body.
Rang Wenwan was speechless, but her expression was as usual, as if she really didn't understand. The emperor enjoyed such affection calmly. After dinner,??went out with the emperor. (To be continued)
