On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Calm down, calm down! All you do all day is say these high-sounding words. If you really want me to calm down, take some action!"

Ji Xunchuan was anxious and veins bulged on his forehead.

After a long time, one of the people stood up.

"Your Majesty, I heard about the incident in Shancheng. General Shen's daughter Shen Wantang has performed outstandingly and is both brave and resourceful. Why not let Miss Shen help your Majesty with her worries?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone seemed to have an idea, and hurriedly spoke up to reconsider: "I second the motion!"

In the past, disaster relief would have been a lucrative job and everyone would have scrambled for it, but now Xia Huai'en's investigations are so strict that many corrupt officials have been implicated.

Today the disaster relief task is a mess, and everyone in the court is as cunning as a devil. Who is willing to take on this matter?

Ji Xunchuan's eyes tightened, but he didn't say anything.

There was silence for a moment in the court.

At that time, Cen Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Miss Shen."

Hearing this, everyone seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

Some even said: "Yes, Miss Shen and General Cen have fought together, so naturally they have a better understanding than others."

After these words were spoken, Ji Xunchuan's face on the dragon throne turned a little pale.

"Your Majesty, the disaster in Nanzhou is urgent. There have been reports of some disaster victims causing trouble. I would like to share your concerns with you."

Cen Xiao continued to speak.

After the words fell, Ji Xunchuan seemed to be thinking for a long time, and then he spoke quietly: "Okay! Since Prince Cen is so enthusiastic, I will agree to your request."

"It's just that disaster relief is urgent. I want you to set off tomorrow!"

I will leave tomorrow...

But Cen Xiao was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

As soon as the court was dismissed, an imperial edict was sent to the Shen Mansion.

Shen Wantang frowned - she had personally asked for this job before, but Ji Xunchuan not only refused, but also beat General Shen with ten military sticks. Why did he give in now...

"Miss Shen, General Cen will be with you on this disaster relief mission, so please don't let down His Majesty's trust."

The eunuch's smile was suspicious, but Shen Wantang still accepted the imperial edict respectfully.

As soon as the eunuch left, news came through the back door.

"Miss, your guest is here." Qing'e hurried over.

"You have also received the imperial edict. I'm afraid it will be dangerous if you go there this time." Xia Huai'en frowned.

Today in the court, he always felt that this matter was a little strange.

Shen Wantang lowered his eyes and nodded: "There must be something strange about this mess of disaster relief. By the way, can the Ministry of Revenue approve some grain and grass?"

Xia Huai'en comforted him, "Don't worry, I've already talked to the Ministry of Revenue, and the grain and grass will be approved in the next few days. But the grain and grass are transported by water, so I'm afraid it will be much later than yours."

Shen Wantang shook his head and smiled calmly: "It's okay."

Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Huai'en, wanting to say something.

But before she could speak, Xia Huai'en said, "Don't worry, I'll help you guard the capital. Now, everyone's attention is on disaster relief, and no one is watching General Shen anymore."

Hearing this, Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.

But in this way, Shen Wantang owed Xia Huai'en another favor.

"Don't say those empty words. You were able to rescue Yue Fu and find the murderer who persecuted Yue Fu. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."

Xia Huai'en frowned.

"Just go there with peace of mind. I'll take care of the capital for you."

With Xia Huai'en's words, Shen Wantang felt relieved.

But in the evening, Shen Ying's dissatisfaction was heard from the next yard.

"What do you mean! She went to help with disaster relief, what does it have to do with this Tanchun Banquet! Why did the Emperor cancel this banquet?"

Shen Ying stood up suddenly and was about to go find Shen Wantang to argue.

Aunt Liu was helpless. She glanced at the people around her and then stopped Shen Ying.

"I said you are really impatient. What if the banquet is cancelled? It is not necessary to hold this banquet. In the capital, she is not the only one who can hold a banquet."

Aunt Liu said helplessly, "I heard that an earl's mansion is going to hold a banquet, it's not impossible."

"How can a mere earl's mansion be greater than the empress in the palace?"

Shen Ying gritted her teeth.

Hearing this, Aunt Liu slammed the teacup in her hand on the table.

"How could I, a very smart woman, give birth to someone as stupid as you? Do you really think you are a piece of gold? Just because you got the invitation to the imperial concubine's banquet, you don't care about the invitation to the earl's mansion?"

Shen Ying didn't say anything, just stood there sobbing.

"I have been working for you for half my life, but now you are confused." Aunt Liu could no longer bear it and scolded directly.

"I did everything you said. I just wanted to marry into the Duke Dingguo's mansion. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Shen Ying burst into tears.

When she heard this, Aunt Liu became even angrier and stood up suddenly: "I think you still haven't figured it out! Someone! Lock her up in the room and don't let her go out without my order! I think there's a reason why Shen Wantang is better than you!"

After leaving a few words, Aunt Liu rushed out.

"If you have the ability, you can become a legitimate wife. Now you are just a concubine, and you make me suffer for nothing!"

After Aunt Liu walked away, she could still hear Shen Ying's rebuttal in the room behind her.

The maid beside her hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be angry, Auntie. The second young lady is still young and doesn't understand. In the future, she will definitely understand your suffering."

Shen Ying is not the only one who is in such pain.

Everyone who received the imperial concubine's invitation felt uncomfortable.

Not to mention the imperial concubine, she went straight to the Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty! You just stopped my Tanchun Banquet like this, and you still let me, a concubine, have no face!"

In the palace, the imperial concubine knelt and sobbed, a tear fell, her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

But Ji Xunchuan was already immune to it, and he looked at the book in his hand: "Now that the south is in disaster, the treasury is empty. You still used the money in the treasury to hold the banquet. Now that it has stopped, it can be regarded as praying for the people."

But after she finished speaking, the imperial concubine became more and more sad: "Your Majesty, I am really bored. Now I finally have a banquet..."

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ji Xunchuan: "Alright, stop talking about this. Tomorrow Shen Wantang will leave for the south to provide disaster relief, and I have to see him off. I am tired, so you can leave now."

But the imperial concubine had no intention of stopping and was still whimpering and trying to say something.

Ji Xunchuan slammed the book in his hand and slowly raised his cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is about to rest. You should also take a rest quickly." The eunuch at the side hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her.

The imperial concubine then stood up angrily and left the Taiji Hall.
