"Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't like this kind of banquet, can she not go?"
The old lady took out the post from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Mingyue.
"I'm afraid it won't work this time. The sixth prince is the prince whom the emperor values the most. This post was personally sent by the emperor's personal eunuch. Your name is on it."
Zhang Mingyue opened the red sticker in her hand, and sure enough, her name was listed on it.
If you keep hiding, you won't be able to avoid it. What is supposed to come will always come.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to wear armor and go into battle like my brother, and death will be enough.
Now that I have made the decision, I feel relieved a lot. I watched the little Ruanruan swatting at butterflies in the garden, but didn't catch any for a long time. I just found it very interesting.
"Ruanruan, sister is here to help you swat the butterflies. Which one do you want?"
"I want the blue one, sister, grab it quickly."
Zhang Mingyue took action very quickly, grabbed the blue butterfly, and handed it to Ruan Ruan. Ruan Ruan failed to catch it, and the butterfly flew higher with its wings flashing.
[Wow, my sister’s strength is so strong, she’s so handsome. It's a pity for that little butterfly, I'll let you go first. 】
The girl chuckled.
Yes, a butterfly can escape from its own hands even if it struggles.
You can also struggle forward like a butterfly, and maybe you can escape your tragic fate.
Hearing Xiao Ruanruan flatter him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised again, and the haze that had been weighing in his heart for the past few days was swept away.
After fluttering butterflies all afternoon, Concubine Zhao took a nap in Chenghuan Palace to make up for the sleep she missed last night.
When I opened my eyes, it was already time for dinner to be passed around.
Jinlan opened the door and walked in.
"Master, you are finally awake. Eunuch Zhao just gave me a message, saying that the emperor will come over to finish the meal together."
Thinking that Gu Jin was coming, Concubine Zhao's eyebrows were furrowed and her stomach was churning.
Jinlan was a discerning person and hurriedly brought a glass of warm water.
"Master, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell Eunuch Zhao and ask the Emperor to come back another day."
"No, just dress me up. Just keep it simple. I'll light the incense soon."
After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door.
"Zhaozhao, I specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare golden bird's nests and two cooked fried fish, and brought them to you to try."
Concubine Zhao glanced at the dishes on the table. In addition to the usual ones, there were also several new dishes.
It looked good, but without Gu Jin here to make her sick, she couldn't eat anything.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I have already eaten. Your Majesty, please use it slowly."
"Well, I just had some at Chuxiu Palace. I didn't hear that you slept in the afternoon. Maybe you were sick, so you came here to take a look."
Gu Jin was testing her.
Concubine Zhao pretended to be jealous and turned her face away, "The emperor changes people every day, how could he ever consider the bitterness of the old one?"
Hearing Concubine Zhao's sour words, Gu Jin laughed.
Concubine Zhao is indeed still like this.
She is usually too domineering and needs to be taught a lesson.
"Zhaozhao is not the old person, you are the person who is dear to my heart."
"Hey."
Concubine Zhao couldn't help her stomach churning and started retching.
"No, my concubine. What about sister Liangfei? How long has it been since the emperor visited sister Liangfei? Floods in the south of the Yangtze River are no longer common. Sister Liangfei has been crying all day long, and the emperor has not gone to see her?"
Speaking of the good concubine, Gu Jin remembered that there was this talented girl from Jiangnan in the palace.
"It's not that I don't want to see her, it's just that I'm busy with government affairs and can't get away."
Scumbags always have endless excuses.
"What about the people in Jiangnan? Doesn't the emperor want to take care of it?"
Gu Jin's face instantly darkened. It turned out that it was Concubine Liang who said something that made Concubine Zhao feel so resentful.
"Zhaozhao, when did you start caring about government affairs?"
"Your Majesty, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are suffering from floods and have no food to eat, but here we have plenty of fish and meat..."
Concubine Zhao didn't want to talk any more, a teardrop fell down her lips, adding a touch of tenderness to her cold face.
Gu Jin hugged her from behind, "Okay, okay, I will discuss this matter at court tomorrow. If there is a result, I will send someone to tell Concubine Liang, so that she can feel at ease."
"Well~, I know that the emperor is a wise king who cares about the people."
The dinner was tasteless.
After dinner, Gu Jin used the excuse of being busy with government affairs and did not stay at Chenghuan Palace.
He has more important places to go, and the three newly appointed Chu Xiugongs today cannot be left out in the cold.
After Gu Jin left, Concubine Zhao called Jinlan.
Jinlan brought a letter.
There is only one sentence in the letter, "The affairs in Jiangnan will definitely live up to your trust."
Morning next day.
The cases before the emperor contained twice as many twists and turns as usual.
Most of them were about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Only then did Gu Jin realize the seriousness.
There were floods in previous years, and the governor of Jiangnan dealt with them on his own. Why can't this year's floods be solved?
Before Gu Jin's annoyance ended, the ministers began to talk about it.
Some suggested allocating funds for disaster relief, while others suggested rebuilding river embankments.
When it came to appropriation, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately started shaking their heads and sighing.
When it comes to repairing river embankments, the Ministry of Works said that the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot provide the money and they cannot repair it.
For a while, no one came up with any results.
At this moment, Prime Minister Wen, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think we should find someone with authority in the court to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person to assist the governor of the south of the Yangtze River in controlling floods."
"Since then, it has not only deterred officials to concentrate on controlling floods, but also calmed the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan."
"What Wen Aiqing said is true, so who do you think is qualified?"
Prime Minister Wen looked at the regent who had been closing his eyes to rest.
"I believe that the most prestigious person in the court must be the regent."
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers of households, officials, and soldiers responded in agreement.
Gu Ji opened his eyes and looked at Gu Jin and Prime Minister Wen singing the double act.
"Prince Regent, are you willing?"
It's really a good plan. If you go, you will fall into your trap. If you don't go, you will be blamed for Gu Jin's disregard for the lives of the people.
Gu Ji looked deeply at the man on the dragon chair, then picked up the Chao Hut and bowed his head in salute, the resentment in his eyes instantly dissipated.
"I am willing."
"Okay." Gu Jin patted the table and was in a good mood.
"The departure date will be three days later."
"I can still toast the regent a few more times at the sixth prince's birthday party tomorrow."
After the morning court, Gu Ji always felt that someone was staring at him from behind.
Turning around, it was General Zhang.
"The Prince Regent's trip was not a wise one."
"Oh? General Zhang, I heard that there is a tavern in the city that makes a very delicious snowflake brew. Why don't we go and try it together?"
"I like wine, so being respectful is worse than obeying orders."?0?2
