Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying

Three months passed by in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, Guanzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Mo Qi led many craftsmen and laborers, working day and night on the repair project of the official road.

They were not afraid of the scorching sun and worked tirelessly just to complete the task as quickly as possible.

Finally, after unremitting efforts, the official road in Guanzhou became flat and wide, like a winding dragon stretching into the distance.

Mo Qi came back happily to report his results to Bai Qianqian.

He was wearing dusty clothes, but his eyes sparkled with pride.

"Princess, the official road has been completely repaired. It is flat and smooth, ensuring that carriages and horses can pass through without obstruction."

After hearing this, Bai Qianqian showed a relieved smile on her face.

She nodded slightly and said, "You've done a good job. However, the roads leading to the towns and villages cannot be ignored. If Guanzhou wants to become truly prosperous, these roads must be repaired."

Mo Qi responded without hesitation: "Don't worry, Princess. I will do it right away."

He knew very well that Bai Qianqian's decisions were all for the future of Guanzhou, so there was no need to ask King Chen's opinion and he just took the order and left.

In July in Guanzhou, the sky is like a huge furnace, and the scorching sun is burning the earth.

The steaming air seemed to be distorted, making people feel suffocatingly hot.

At this time, Bai Qianqian basically stayed in the palace all day and did not dare to go out easily.

Because as soon as you leave the room where the ice is kept, the sweat will drip like raindrops.

In the palace's ice house, there are huge blocks of ice, emitting a hint of coolness.

Bai Qianqian sat in a comfortable chair. On the table in front of her were sliced ​​ice watermelon and a bowl of cool jelly.

She picked up a piece of red ice watermelon and put it in her mouth. The sweet juice instantly overflowed in her mouth, and the cool feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to her whole body.

Then she took another sip of the jelly. The smooth texture and cool taste made her couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"This ice watermelon and jelly is so delicious."

Bai Qianqian was thinking while enjoying this rare coolness.

Of course, this year's watermelons were shipped to the capital city just like in previous years.

Those carts of big, round watermelons carried the hard work of the people of Guanzhou and their respect for the imperial court.

It had only been two days since the goods were shipped out, but Bai Qianqian's heart was already filled with anticipation.

She didn’t know what reward the emperor would give her this time?

Maybe it's precious jewels, gorgeous silk, or other unexpected treasures.

Various possible rewards kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

In this hot July, although Bai Qianqian was trapped in the palace, her heart was always concerned about the development of Guanzhou.

She looked forward to the emperor's reward, and even more so to Guanzhou becoming more and more prosperous under the leadership of her and King Chen.

The magnificent palace in the capital city sparkles under the sunlight.

When cartloads of big, round watermelons from Guanzhou were delivered to the palace, Emperor Xuanwu was sitting in the imperial study reviewing memorials.

When Emperor Xuanwu heard the eunuch report that Prince Chen had sent watermelons, a hint of surprise appeared on his majestic face.

He immediately put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the imperial study, his heart full of longing for Guanzhou and concern for King Chen.

A moment later, Emperor Xuanwu decisively called the prince over.

The prince hurried over and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the Crown Prince and said solemnly, "From today on, the Crown Prince will be the regent. I will go live with your fifth brother for a few days."

When the prince heard this, he immediately frowned.

With a look of disapproval on his face, he said, "Father, you absolutely cannot do this! I do not have enough experience yet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle the important task of supervising the country. Besides, as the ruler of a country, how can you easily leave the capital?"

However, Emperor Xuanwu had made up his mind.

He said without question: "This is an imperial decree. I have made up my mind. You just need to supervise the country well and not make any mistakes."

The prince was extremely helpless, with tears in his eyes, and he could only agree with tears in his eyes.

He knew very well that once his father made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Moreover, the imperial edict had already been issued and he no longer had the right to refuse.

In order to ensure the safety of his father, the prince immediately summoned his confidants and dispatched a large number of secret guards to protect the emperor along the way.

These secret guards are all masters who have undergone rigorous training. They are agile, loyal and reliable.

The prince repeatedly reminded them to protect the emperor's safety at all costs.

At the same time, he wrote an urgent letter and sent it to Guanzhou.

His father, the Emperor, had gone to Guanzhou, and he had to tell his fifth brother.

Let the fifth brother go and pick them up early to ensure the safety of our father.

Emperor Xuanwu acted decisively and selected half of the Dragon Guards.

These dragon guards are the elite troops in the palace. They are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness.

Emperor Xuanwu ordered them to disguise themselves as merchants, and he himself changed into ordinary merchant clothes.

With full of expectations, he set out on the journey to Guanzhou.

By the time the ministers in the palace learned of the emperor's decision, it was already two days late.

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu had already gone far away, and they could not catch up with him even if they wanted to.

The ministers gathered in the court, looking at each other, their hearts filled with worry and anxiety.

On the one hand, they were worried about the emperor's safety. After all, the emperor did not make a high-profile trip this time, but was in disguise and kept a low profile. What would they do if he encountered danger?

On the other hand, although the Crown Prince is capable, he is still young after all, and they are also worried that some unexpected situations may arise during this special period.

On the way to Guanzhou, Emperor Xuanwu was in a good mood.

He sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside through the window, imagining the new changes he would soon see in King Chen and Guanzhou, his heart full of anticipation.

The dragon guards carefully guarded the surroundings and remained vigilant at all times.

They were dressed in ordinary businessmen's clothes, but their eyes revealed vigilance and determination.

They were fully aware of the importance of this mission and had to ensure the emperor's absolute safety.

As the journey progressed, Emperor Xuanwu was looking forward to meeting Prince Chen and Bai Qianqian more and more.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what tremendous changes had taken place in Guanzhou under their governance.

I also want to taste the famous ice watermelon and jelly.

His heart was filled with longing for Guanzhou and expectations for the future.

Ten days later in Guanzhou, the golden sunshine sprinkled on the vast fields, and the heavy rice swayed gently in the breeze, like a golden ocean.

King Chen was dressed in solemn military uniform, standing by the field watching the soldiers busy harvesting rice.

His eyes showed both joy for the harvest and satisfaction for the hard work of the people of Guanzhou.

Just then, a guard came running in with a letter in his hand.

King Chen frowned slightly, a trace of doubt arose in his heart. Who could the letter be from at this time?

He took the letter and saw the logo on the envelope. His heart tightened. This was a letter from the prince of the capital.
