However, Zhang Lanheng handed the thick memorial book directly to Abao.

This gentleman, Lord Zhang, is concerned about the country and the people: "Other things can wait for a while, but the selection of the governor of the three states is imminent. What do you think, Miss Six?"

Since Zhang Lanheng asked directly, A Bao didn't plan to hide it any further.

"Liang Qingyu has the talent to manage water and is dedicated to serving the people. He is the most suitable candidate."

"But I'm afraid the government and the opposition will not agree."

How could Abao not know the truth that Zhang Lanheng directly revealed?

Since Empress Wenying, it has been as difficult as ascending to heaven for a woman to enter the imperial court of Daqi.

A Bao held the kitchen knife and cut off another white pear neatly.

“But, you have to try.”

A Bao smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty is going to hold a birthday banquet. This golden opportunity is just right for solving my two most difficult problems."

As he said this, A Bao looked at Zhang Lanheng who was serious.

She smiled helplessly, "Today is a day off! In the countryside, fruits and vegetables are fragrant, flowers are red and willows are green, water is clear and fish are fat. Sir Zhang, why don't you put aside those tedious and complicated court affairs for a while and enjoy some leisure time. Okay?"

Before he finished speaking, A Bao threw the tinderbox to Zhang Lanheng.

"Here! Sir Zhang, please help me light a fire."

Zhang Lanheng looked at Abao, who was smiling in the summer.

Lord Zhang, who only cared about official business, silently clenched the fire lighter in his hand.

After a long pause, he said, "I obey your command."

A fire started in the mud stove in the yard, and the water in the iron pot started to boil. A Bao added medicinal herbs and cut fruits into the pot according to the recipe he remembered.

The next step in the cooking process will need to be controlled by Abao himself.

She simply moved a small stool and sat in front of the stove, watching the fire while testing Zhang Lanheng.

"Regarding the matter of adopting a son, how did you convince Old Master Zhang?"

What is coming will eventually come.

Zhang Lanheng knew that Abao cared about Jing'er, so he would definitely ask.

And his speech had been prepared long ago.

"I want to see what is at the end of that endless blue sea." Zhang Lanheng said calmly, "Is it the place where the gods and Buddhas such as Penglai live as written in ancient books, or... has it been just a vast and boundless sea since the beginning of the world?"

"However, if I marry a wife, the huge Zhang family in Donghai will definitely need her to manage it."

"She can't leave, and I want to go."

"Rather than letting a good girl live a life of widowhood, it would be better to choose a son of your choice early on and raise him well."

"Besides, Jing'er is a lovely child."

"The grandparents at home will like him."

As A Bao looked at Zhang Lanheng, whose face was illuminated by the firelight from the stove, she thought of Zhang Lanheng who had traveled across the sea to the east in his previous life and wrote "Eastern Journey".

This question was entirely out of consideration for Jing'er who was about to enter the Zhang Mansion.

She had no doubt about what Zhang Lanheng said.

In this case, A Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is happy to have a baby boy, so I must think carefully and send him a big gift to congratulate him."

At first I hoped that Po would believe it.

But Abao really believed this, and Zhang Lanheng smiled with a complicated expression: "Then, I will thank the Sixth Miss on behalf of Jing'er first."

After saying this, Zhang Lanheng changed the subject.

"I heard from Miss Su a few days ago that Miss Six wants to open more than just this Tzu Chi home. Will there be Tzu Chi homes opened in various states one after another?"

"Well, Fengfeng is right."

Zhang Lanheng frowned and thought: "I'm afraid that relying solely on the East Palace's private treasury will not be able to fill this bottomless pit."

Hearing this, Abao's eyebrows curved slightly and he smiled mysteriously.

Of course, it’s not just relying on the East Palace’s private treasury.

With her meager salary as the crown prince, she had to pay off the repair costs of the White Jade Palace for that Rakshasa Buddha. She was strapped for cash for anything else she wanted to do.

Fortunately, she still has Yongyuan Trading Company.

It is not too difficult to take care of all the expenses of the Tzu Chi Home.

What's more, she will bear the heaviest part of such charitable deeds as helping widows and raising orphans, and the remaining money can be raised by raising charity funds.

Furthermore, the imperial capital is home to many prominent families and dignitaries, so it is easy to raise funds for charity.

Just then, Xuanyuan Fengran returned from hunting pheasants.

The moment she saw the smoky kitchen, the little girl smiled cleverly and cunningly.

He released the pheasant and washed his hands clean.

Xuanyuan Fengran then reached out and pinched his little girl's smiling face.

He smiled knowingly and said, "What are you planning now?"

A Bao raised his eyes, pursed his lips and chuckled: "Hehe!"
