Female Master: The Cold Prince

Chapter 31: Requesting Disaster Relief

"My humble servant greets Master Wen!" The second young lady made a 365-degree turn in her attitude.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at the man in front of her. He had a slender figure, handsome face, gentle eyes, elegant posture, and was dressed in a white brocade robe, looking spotless.

"Everyone, Rongze acted rashly. If he has offended you, I apologize to you on his behalf!" Wen Jueshang said with an apologetic look on his face.

"Rongze, apologize to everyone quickly!" Wen Jueshang suddenly said sternly.

"I'm sorry, Rongze is rude." He said reluctantly.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Wen Jueshang said with an apologetic smile.

Xiahou Jiuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly, when she saw the jade pendant worn on the man's waist, her eyes were stunned.

Isn't this her jade pendant? How come it is on him?

This jade pendant had been collected by her long before she went to the war. How could it appear here at this time?

Suddenly, fragments of memories emerged in Xiahou Jiuyue's mind.

In her memory, she and two little boys held identical jade pendants in their hands and made a ten-year agreement.

And that jade pendant was the one on Young Master Wen’s waist.

She vaguely remembered that one of the little boys was named Wen Jueshang.

And if she remembered correctly, the eldest son of the Wen family was also called Wen Jueshang. Xiahou Jiuyue was stunned.

No way! This world is too small!

No wonder she had always felt that the name Wen Jueshang was so familiar.

"Ayue! What's wrong with you?" Yu Suyuan shouted in a low voice.

A Yue kept staring at other men, and he felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart.

"Nothing." Xiahou Jiuyue said calmly.

Looking at Wen Jueshang opposite her, there was complexity in her eyes.

The ten-year promise she made back then was just a joke.

At that time, she just wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible, so she used the ten-year agreement as an excuse to send them both away.

Who would have thought that Wen Jueshang actually took it seriously and even wore the jade pendant she gave him. How embarrassed she was.

Wen Jueshang felt Xiahou Jiuyue's focused gaze, and he also raised his eyes to look at her, but he was caught off guard and met a pair of deep and complex eyes.

In an instant, his heart was shocked.

Why do this person's eyes look so familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before?

Not only that, the other person also gave him a very familiar feeling, as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Seeing that he was also stunned, Xiahou Jiuyue sighed in her heart.

She didn't want to recognize him, and their current identities were not suitable for continuing their relationship.

What's more, the agreement made ten years ago has long expired.

What a coincidence that the timing was exactly the days when she returned to the capital, but by then she had long forgotten about it.

"A Yuan, let's go!" After saying that, she walked towards the lobby without looking back.

Yu Suyuan was confused, and before leaving, he deliberately glanced at the stunned Wen Jueshang.

This man made him feel uncomfortable, and he always felt that he would take away everything he cherished.

"This..." The second sister said with embarrassment on her face.

She would not tolerate offending Master Wen, but those people just now did not look like ordinary people. Moreover, they did not even give Master Wen face, so they must be from powerful backgrounds.

"It's okay, go and get busy!" Wen Jueshang said gently.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The second sister wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really not easy for those of them who run errands.

Wen Jueshang looked at the figure entering the lobby, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Sir, what should we do now? The private room is full. Should we still wait here?" Rong Ze said at this time.

It's all those people's fault. They are so tactless that they don't even give face to their young master. It's so annoying.

"Forget it, let's go back!" Wen Jueshang said with a depressed look.

It's been so long, I guess he won't come.

"Young Master." Rong Ze said with a distressed look on his face.

"Let's go!" After saying that, he turned around and got on his own carriage.

In the private room, Xiahou Jiuyue first ordered some signature dishes, and then ordered a few pastries that the boys loved.

"A Yuan, take another look and see if there is anything else you like to eat. Order them all."

"Ayue, you've ordered enough. You won't be able to eat any more if you order more." Yu Suyuan said with a warm heart.

A Yue ordered all his favorite dishes, which made him feel so happy.

"Eat more later and nourish yourself well. Their cooking skills are great. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've eaten." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

She had not had the chance to visit Tianxianglou since she had eaten there once ten years ago, until today.

"Really? Even A Yue praised it so much. It seems I'm in for a treat today." Yu Suyuan said with anticipation.

Soon, the second sister arrived with the delicious food. Looking at the table full of delicious food, Yu Suyuan couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing his greedy cat-like look, Xiahou Jiuyue found him extremely cute.

"Come, try it." As he said that, he personally picked up a piece of pork ribs for him.

"Okay." Yu Suyuan said with his ears slightly red.

The whole meal slowly ended with Xiahou Jiuyue feeding the children.

Seeing Yu Suyuan looking embarrassed after eating and drinking, Xiahou Jiuyue suddenly felt sentimental.

Back then, she, Fuyin, and two boys also had a feast in this private room.

Now, everything has changed.

I don’t know how Fuyin is doing now.

After a short rest, the two left Tianxiang Tower and went shopping in the market until dusk before returning home.

The next morning, in the court.

"Your Majesty, Huihe County has suffered a drought that is rare in decades. The people have no harvest and are complaining bitterly."

"Now, there is very little grain left in the government office of Huihe County. Not long ago, the victims rioted because of lack of food and looted food everywhere. The local people are in a panic. I hope Your Majesty will make a ruling as soon as possible." The Minister of Revenue Qin Yuruo stepped out and said.

Upon hearing this, the officials whispered to each other.

"I wonder which minister is willing to go?" The queen looked down at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Ran Qing stepped out and said.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked straight ahead calmly, as if nothing had to do with her.

"Mother, I am willing to go to Huihe County to provide relief to the disaster victims. I hope you will grant my permission." Xiahou Nuanxi pleaded for herself for the first time.

"Oh?" The Queen was surprised.

"Nuan Xi, this disaster relief is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly. There are also riots among the victims in Huihe County. You have no experience in disaster relief and I'm afraid you won't be able to do the job well." said the Queen.

"Mother Queen, I, your son..." Xiahou Nuanxi said unwillingly.

"Okay, this matter is not a joke. You are not up to the task. I will send an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future." The Queen interrupted impatiently.

"Mother Queen, your son has something to report." At this time, Xiahou Yan, who was at the front, stepped forward and said.

"What do you want to report?" the Queen asked with a gentle expression.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, what I want to report is exactly the disaster relief incident. I beg the Queen Mother to allow me to go to Huihe County to provide relief to the victims."

"Firstly, I often help refugees outside the city, so I know what they are thinking and have some experience."

"Secondly, the riots caused by the disaster victims are nothing more than a lack of food. I have encountered similar problems in previous relief efforts."

"As long as the Queen Mother allows me to go, I will comfort the victims, handle the matter properly, and gradually calm the riots." Xiahou Yan said slowly, his eyes full of determination.
