The Queen's Beggar's Wife

"Just now, the imperial edict was passed down by the emperor to Zhang Xin, and the concubine accidentally overheard some of it." Chu Yueyin carefully looked at Yu Wenhua's expression, and seeing his encouraging gaze, he continued, "The concubine thinks , sending troops nearby is almost the best and fastest option. However, if the Feihu Battalion cannot prepare for the rescue in advance, but rushes out of the camp after receiving the imperial decree, then the people in the disaster area who are looking forward to it will be killed. It takes more time to wait, and during the waiting process, some people may not be able to hold on."

Yu Wenhua sighed softly, "I know that disaster relief is like putting out a fire. If we arrive earlier, more people will survive. However, the Feihuying is already the closest army to the northern Ganbei Mountains."

"The Flying Tiger Battalion must be mobilized. Without them, disaster relief would be impossible. However, my concubine thought that we could send another small team as the vanguard, and travel lightly. Apart from the necessary warm clothes and self-defense weapons, we only bring clean water. And food, starting from the capital, rushed to Ganbei first, and used the food they carried with them to solve the urgent need. In addition to appeasing the victims on behalf of the court, they should also organize the victims to rescue themselves, and do a preliminary understanding of the local disaster situation. In this way, the Flying Tiger Battalion can enter the rescue state immediately after arriving."

Yu Wenhua looked appreciatively, "Zitong is right. I immediately ordered 1000 people from the imperial guards in the capital to rush to Ganbei."

"Come here." Yu Wenhua called out to the outside of the imperial study.Chu Yueyin casually took a collection of poems from the bookshelf, sat down on the brocade stool, and casually flipped through them.

The door creaked and was pushed open, and Mo Yu walked in.

"Mo Yu, immediately draw up an order for me, and order Yang Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, to summon a thousand Imperial Guards to go to the Ganbei Mountains for disaster relief. Each person will bring five liters of water and ten liters of rice, and set off in an hour..."

Mo Yu wrote the imperial decree and held it in front of Yu Wenhua.After Yu Wenhua took a look, she covered the jade seal and asked Mo Yu to deliver the decree in a hurry.

"Zitong, are you hungry? Come, have dinner with me." Yu Wenhua took the book in Chu Yueyin's hand, put it aside, pulled her up, walked to the table and sat down.

Chu Yueyin opened the food box, and took out the bowls and dishes inside one by one, rice with two meat and two vegetables, and a big bowl of egg drop soup, all made by Chef Zhang of Kunning Palace.Although it wasn't like Yu Wenhua's usual meals filled a big table, but these servings were enough for two people.

"Your Majesty, eat." Chu Yueyin first filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Yu Wenhua.

Yu Wenhua took it and was about to eat it when he suddenly remembered something, looked up at Chu Yueyin, and asked hesitantly, "Is she okay?"

Chu Yueyin was filling the second bowl of rice, when she heard this, she stopped her hands, slightly raised her eyebrows, and teased, "Didn't the emperor say that the affairs of the harem are all up to the ministers and concubines, so I don't need to ask your opinion? Now that the concubine is the master, do you feel sorry for her?"

Yu Wenhua frowned and did not speak.It was originally planned to send Xue'er back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to 'quietly think about her past', but Chu Yueyin changed her mind temporarily and put Xue'er in the cold palace.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'you don't have to be suspicious when you employ someone, and you don't need to be suspicious of someone'. Please trust your concubines. The Leng Palace is definitely more suitable for Concubine Xueshu than the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chu Yueyin packed the rice and put it in Yu Wenhua's bowl. Some dishes, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that although Concubine Xue Shu has entered the cold palace, the concubine will not ignore her, let alone let people bully her. The concubine will bring Moli to see her tomorrow, and the things that should be Get ready for her."

"I believe in you! I am relieved to have you helping me!" Yu Wenhua finally raised his eyebrows and smiled, and began to eat the food that Chu Yueyin gave him.He felt that today's dishes were delicious, and he thought that he hadn't eaten the dishes cooked by Chef Zhang for a while, and his cooking skills were getting better and better.

Seeing the sincere smile in Yu Wenhua's eyes, Chu Yueyin froze for a moment, and suddenly became sullen: Xia Lianxue is lucky, because although Yu Wenhua is an emperor and sits in the Sangong and Six Courtyards, she only loves her , arranged all this for her.And I came here alone, entered the palace, and became a noble queen, but the emperor didn't love me, nor was I the one I loved.It's hard to let go of my heart and fall in love with someone, but he happens to be a person who only loves men.

"Zi Tong, what are you thinking?" Yu Wenhua noticed that Chu Yueyin's mood seemed to drop suddenly, and asked aloud.

"The concubine...is there a trustworthy cook in the imperial dining room? The concubine wants to arrange a cook for Concubine Xue Shu who only obeys the emperor's orders, will not be bribed, and will not talk too much, and let him live in the cold palace. Specially preparing meals for Concubine Xue Shu can not only deceive people's eyes and ears, but also prevent people from tampering with the meal before it goes to the cold palace."

"It's still Zi Tong who is thoughtful. The cook Zhang in your palace has a younger brother who works in the imperial dining room. He has a good character. At the beginning, I chose cook Zhang from his two brothers and sent him to Kunning Palace. In this way, I let He will be at Kunning Palace tomorrow morning to wait for your dispatch."

"En." Chu Yueyin agreed, stopped talking, and silently lowered her head to eat.

But Yu Wenhua stopped her chopsticks and looked at the quiet Chu Yueyin tenderly. Seeing that she only ate rice and didn't pick up vegetables for a long time, she picked up a chopsticks of vegetables and put them in her bowl.

"Zi Tong, eat more food. You have lost weight, and your complexion is not very good recently. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some ginseng, deer antler and bird's nest to Kunning Palace, and let Chef Zhang stew it for you every night."

Chu Yueyin hastily swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! This concubine also wants some warming and nourishing herbs, and I will bring them to Concubine Xue Shu. After all, she is not alone now. The Emperor can't give it to you clearly." She can only be taken by the concubine secretly. Also, if the emperor misses Concubine Xue Shu, he must go there quietly so that no one will notice."

Yu Wenhua nodded helplessly and agreed.Has anyone ever seen an emperor sneaking around when he sees his concubine?But he, Yu Wenhua, had to be like this, he would rather keep his heart hidden than hurt the woman he loves in the slightest.

Chu Yueyin thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think you should tell Concubine Xue Shu the truth. First, given her current situation, she needs to rest in peace. Your love is her greatest support. Second, if she Everything is on guard against the concubine, and the concubine can't take care of her or plan for her."

"I will consider it." Yu Wenhua was thinking about whether he should tell Xia Lianxue his plan, and if so, how much should be said.

"That's good." Chu Yueyin filled half a bowl of egg drop soup, drank it slowly, smiled sweetly, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Yu Wenhua raised his eyebrows and asked: "You don't want to eat? How can you eat so little?"

"The concubine is already full." Chu Yueyin wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, then picked up the teapot at the side, and made tea.After a while, the fragrance of Biluochun tea floated slowly in the imperial study.
