The Scum Girl's Self-Help Guide

Chapter 5
Therefore, Feng Yujiao spoke out all the thoughts in her heart, regardless of what the ministers thought: "Back to the emperor, my daughter is thinking why these courtiers are so interested in the matter of the emperor's acceptance of the concubine. Even if the emperor accepts the concubine A concubine is a big deal, but my daughter thinks that the matter of accepting a concubine will never be bigger than the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will not be bigger than the increasingly rampant witch tribes in southern Xinjiang."

As Feng Yujiao spoke, she paused for a moment. After all, she swallowed the matter of corrupt officials. The rectification of corrupt officials involved the whole court and various networks. If it was put on her head at that time, she would just find herself a hard job to do, why bother?
"Even, the Wan family who was found to have ties to foreign countries some time ago is more serious than this. After all, the mother's concubine is just a lot of concubines in the palace. But if what the daughter said is not handled properly, it is easy to deal with it. It will endanger the people, and more seriously, the entire Feng Kingdom."

As Feng Yujiao spoke, she bowed towards the empress: "Daughter thinks that instead of spending time discussing the matter of the mother empress accepting concubines, it is better to discuss some major issues that are beneficial to the country!"

After Feng Yujiao finished speaking, the court was completely silent.

Who can climb to this position, who is not an individual?

Therefore, as soon as Feng Yujiao said inside and out that the ministers did not care about state affairs, they provoked public outrage.

The first one to stand up was General Lan who encouraged the empress to accept the concubine: "The veteran thinks that the empress accepting the concubine is also a major event that is beneficial to the country, and it also needs to be discussed!"

Feng Yujiao raised her head and glanced at the empress, what else could be hidden in the empress' gaze towards Prime Minister You?
Therefore, Feng Yujiao had no more scruples, and said with a cold face that she put a big hat on: "So, do you think that the Queen Mother is not capable of choosing a little concubine?"

With a cold snort, Feng Yujiao added: "You are so concerned about having a concubine. If you don't know, you would think that General Lan wants to take a concubine!"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Pinggui quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he had absolutely no intention of doing so.

The empress frowned and waved her hand, "If I hear any discussion about concubines in the harem in the future, I will chop off anyone's head!"

This is in agreement with Feng Yujiao's statement.

"Now, who of you will tell me what's going on with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River?" the empress said in a deep voice.

If Yujiao hadn't brought it up today, she wouldn't have known that there was already a flood in the south of the Yangtze River!

For a while, no one dared to speak, and a Jiangnan county guard who was standing behind stood up and said, "Returning to the empress, it has been raining continuously in the south of the Yangtze River for the past two months, and the water level of the river has been rising. Many dikes have burst and washed away. Many villages and even many cities were flooded."

The empress was furious, "Since the flood is already so severe, why did you report it now!"

The Jiangnan county guard was also uncomfortable, and looked at Feng Yujiao gratefully: "Back to the empress, the minister handed over the memorial half a month ago, but I haven't waited for a reply, and the court, every day, is for the empress. The quarrel about the concubine is endless, but today the eldest princess interrupted the quarrel, which gave the minister a chance!"

After hearing this, the empress frowned, "When did you hand over your memorial?"

The governor of Jiangnan County replied: "Half a month ago, the minister guarded the gate of the palace and handed it to the guards guarding the gate."

Hearing this, the empress was so angry that she slapped the table, "Who is it?! How dare you stop my memorial?! Check it out for me!"

The early court ended amidst the empress' anger, but Feng Yujiao couldn't leave, and was called to the imperial study room together with the Jiangnan governor.
