Shen Yihuan took the memorial from him, read it from top to bottom, and after understanding the general situation, she said, "Brother Xun, I think that since we have been blocking it for so many years and have not solved this problem, why don't we try another direction."

When Zhao Xun heard her say this, he asked with some interest: "Huan'er, what do you think?"

"Since we can't block it, we might as well dredge it."

Zhao Xun was stunned, obviously not expecting her to do the opposite.

"This, will this work?" There was already a flood. Not to mention that it was difficult to clear the water, even where to direct the water was a problem.

Don’t let the flood not be properly controlled and cause more people to suffer.

Shen Yihuan knew it well. There were always floods in the south during the summer. This had been a problem that had plagued the Wei Dynasty for many years.

It was not until Zhao Heng ascended the throne and a capable man appeared that the flood was controlled.

The method he used at the beginning was to change the previous method of blocking the water and instead build canals to clear the water. This not only solved the long-term flooding problem in the south, but also brought water to the water-scarce areas in the southwest, making that originally barren land become a granary of the Wei Dynasty with thousands of miles of fertile soil.

This is truly a great achievement that achieves two goals at once.

Shen Yihuan looked at Zhao Xun who had a face full of doubt, and thought to himself that rebirth did have its advantages, as he could know many things in advance.

Anyway, building the canal is a major event that benefits the country and the people. It would be great if it could be started a few years earlier.

By the way, this incident also allowed Zhao Xun to open his eyes in front of the emperor, and also allowed Zhao Xun to gain some confidence after this incident.

For a man, the most important thing when doing things is confidence. Once he tastes the sweetness, he will never get tired of it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yihuan said calmly: "We'll know if it works after trying it. Anyway, there is no better way now, right?"

"This..." Zhao Xun licked his lips, feeling a little eager to try, "How about I talk about this idea with my father?"

He actually used a negotiating tone, trying to get Shen Yihuan's approval.

Of course Shen Yihuan responded immediately, nodded seriously, and then gave another reminder.

"Of course, this matter also requires people who specialize in water conservancy to take a good look at the site and make a plan."

Zhao Xun slapped the table and stood up: "Okay, I'll go find my father and tell him about this." At this moment, his enthusiasm suddenly came up.

After saying this, he took the memorial and hurried out.

After Zhao Xun left, Shen Yihuan lay on the couch for a while, admired the cherry blossoms, then got up and went to the small kitchen to make some pastries.

This time I plan to send some to the Empress Dowager and the Queen as well.

Since marrying the prince, the queen exempted them from daily greetings, so they would not meet unless there was something important.

Naturally, this feeling became unfamiliar.

In fact, Shen Yihuan could feel that the Queen didn't like her and Jiang Yining a little bit. She guessed that her dislike for her was probably related to her biological mother, the Princess. It was said that the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor was very bad before they married.

As for why she didn't like Jiang Yining, it was simply because the prince and she were too naughty at the time and caused a lot of scandals.

No mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law who is restless, only causing trouble and making trouble.

After the cakes were out of the oven, Shen Yihuan first sent them to the Empress Dowager, and then steamed those for the Queen. In this way, not a single moment was wasted.

When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, the palace guards at the gate had already recognized her and they all smiled when they saw her.

She took Cuicui with her and walked inside, and then heard the Queen Mother's strong laughter coming from inside.

When they walked into the main hall, they saw a palace maid who looked a bit older, chatting and laughing with the empress dowager, making her laugh.

When the Queen Mother saw her, her eyes lit up with joy.

"Huan'er, you're here."

Shen Yihuan squatted down slightly and saluted, "Grandma."

"Child, why are you still so polite? Come to your grandmother quickly."

Shen Yihuan stepped forward, and the Queen Mother looked at her with a smile, and then her eyes fell on Cuicui's hand who was following behind her.

When he saw it was another food box, his eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, did you make delicious food for me again?"

Shen Yihuan nodded, and quickly asked Cuicui to take out the food so that the Queen Mother could taste it.

The Queen Mother was a little impatient. As soon as Cuicui brought out the plate, she couldn't wait to grab a piece.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they saw this. The Queen Mother was a lady from a famous family and she attached great importance to rules. It was really surprising that she was like this.

"What are you looking at? I have lived for most of my life and I don't have any hobbies. My only hobby is eating. Is it okay to be a little impatient?" The Queen Mother glared at him like a naughty old man.

"Your Majesty, we have no other intentions. Please eat slowly and don't choke."

"I don't need you to remind me. I'm not that old yet." As he said that, he picked up the pastry and swallowed it in one bite.

My goodness, he was making big statements one moment, but he was actually choked the next.

When everyone saw this, they panicked instantly. Some served tea, some went forward to pat him on the back. It took them a while to calm down.

"Phew, I'm choking to death."

"Grandma, please don't be so impatient next time. Don't swallow it all in one gulp." Shen Yihuan also patted his chest, and couldn't help but remind her, and said worriedly, "If something happens to you, Huan'er will blame herself and die."

The Queen Mother saw tears in her eyes and seemed to be really frightened, so she quickly assured her, "Okay, okay, listen to our Huan'er."

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while in Yongshou Palace, Shen Yihuan left with Cuicui and the empty food box.

Back at Qingfengyuan, the batch of pastries for the queen was just about ready to be taken out of the oven.

He deftly served the pastries out and put them into the food box, all in one go.

Then she took Cuicui and some cakes and walked towards the Queen's palace.

Looking at the towering palace in front of her, Jingren Palace, she recalled her past life. When she was the queen, she lived in it for a period of time.

"Shen Liang Di, the Queen invites you."

At this time, a palace maid came out from Jingren Palace and came in front of Shen Yihuan and his servant and said.

Shen Yihuan smiled back, nodded, and walked in with Cuicui. Inadvertently, Shen Yihuan glanced at the expression on Cuicui's face, and then curved the corners of his mouth in a good mood.

It’s no wonder that Cuicui has become more stable and steady since being taught by Aunt Xu.

She believed that in time, Cuicui would become a helpful assistant to her.

When she arrived at the inner hall, she was surprised to find that the Crown Princess was also there.

She was sitting at the lower table, chatting and laughing with the Queen. It was a really happy picture between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After she came in, the two of them stopped talking and looked at her.

Shen Yihuan hurriedly greeted the queen: "Greetings, Her Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

The queen said calmly, "No need to be polite."
