Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

In late spring, the clear wind blows and the poplar catkins float in the air, like snowflakes all over the sky.

Yonghuang and Yongzhang stayed at home to recuperate for nine months. During this period, the emperor visited them three times in person and tried to assign them tasks many times, but they both declined.

The emperor knew that he had hurt his two sons' hearts in a moment of impulse, and as a result, Concubine Chun and Concubine Hui became a little cold towards him.

It was the rainy season, and there was heavy rain at the Yellow River from Sanmenxia to Huayuankou, and the water flowed like a torrent. For a moment, a great flood came with great force.

Concubine Hui's father, Lord Gao Bin, led Gao Jin to the disaster area. Yonghuang no longer refused and went out with his grandfather's family to control the flood.

The mission was urgent this time, and the emperor, grateful for the Gao family's contributions, discussed with the empress and decided to make Concubine Hui's share equal to that of the Imperial Concubine, and to confer Gao Jin the title of Prince's Tutor.

Gao Xiyue did not comment on this. She gave a slap in the face and then gave him a sweet date, but she did not know that the slap had already chilled people's hearts.

Yonghuang, the young man she raised with great care, was a spirited and elegant man who had always worked diligently. Why should he suffer such injustice just because the emperor had no place to vent his anger?

Although most of Yonghuang's illness was fake, he was really heartbroken.

On the other hand, the emperor knew that Concubine Chun had a soft personality, and even if she was angry, she would not dare to do anything.

So relatively speaking, he felt that it was more appropriate to compensate Yong Zhang and Yong Rong.

Therefore, with the deliberate matchmaking of the emperor and the empress, Yongrong was engaged to the daughter of Fu Qian of the Fucha family, the empress's niece.

The wedding date is set for the eighth day of March next year, which leaves plenty of time for preparation.

Concubine Chun was very satisfied with this marriage. Jingyan's husband was from the Fucha family, and Yongrong's wife was also from the Fucha family. It was a safe bet to become relatives with the Queen's family!

At this time, Wang Fuzhi in Yikun Palace was feeling uneasy.

When the Yellow River flooded, the Queen Mother mobilized the palace maids to donate supplies. Fuzhi also donated a lot of silver, but at this moment, she had something more important in her hands.

This flood submerged countless houses and hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland along the way, and corpses were everywhere, which was horrifying.

The "Water Conservancy Strategy" left by Ama Guiduo contains the experience he summarized from years of in-depth work at the grassroots level of water conservancy and research on waterproofing projects.

Wang Fuzhi flipped through the book and saw the "Bundle and Box Advance Method", which is to bundle and advance from both ends of the dam head towards each other, leaving a dragon gate, and finally closing the gap.

Use stake ropes to tighten the sorghum stalks, and press the soil layer by layer until it reaches the river bottom. Go through the process in sequence, dig the river, and drive piles into the blockages, taking advantage of the situation.

Even though Wang Fuzhi was an outsider, she could tell that this was a good idea through the drawings left by her father.

Wang Fuzhi knew that now was not the time to weigh the pros and cons, so she brought this thing and came to Xianfu Palace.

Without much preparation, Wang Fuzhi explained her purpose.

"Your Highness, the Yellow River has flooded this time and the people are suffering. As a concubine in the harem, I am willing to help but I am unable to do anything. However, I have a flood control plan left by an old friend. Fuzhi thinks it may be useful, so I want to show it to you. If it is useful, please give it to Lord Gao."

Gao Xiyue has been in the harem for many years. Even though she is simple by nature, she has her own ability to capture information.

She took the thing handed to her by Concubine Dun and just flipped through it briefly. She knew that the content inside was so detailed that it could not be written by an ordinary person.

To be on the safe side, she comforted Concubine Dun and asked:

"This is a good thing. If it is used in this flood, it will definitely be of great use. But I am very curious, who is the old friend you are talking about?"

Wang Fuzhi never thought of hiding her current identity. She was the daughter of Wang Sige, the commander-in-chief of the Plain White Banner, so there would be no flaws.

"He is my father's good friend, Socho Luoguiduo."

Gao Xiyue felt that this surname and name were extremely familiar, but she couldn't remember them. When she met Wang Fuzhi's calm yet slightly sad eyes, she looked puzzled.

Wang Fuzhi's voice became hoarse unconsciously, but she didn't notice it.

"She was once the maidservant who came with Concubine Xian, A'ruo's father, and was later implicated and exiled to the southwest, that Gui Duo."

Gao Xiyue suddenly realized that Gui Duo, whom she knew, had worked under her father-in-law. Her father-in-law had said that he was a capable official.

It's a pity that Guiduo's daughter A Ruo made a mistake in the palace, which also implicated their entire clan.

Gao Xiyue was still worried that she might harm her father and cousin, so she asked cautiously:

"Since Guiduo was exiled to the southwest, how did this thing come into your hands?"

Wang Fuzhi controlled her trembling hands under her large cloak and answered as calmly as possible:

"Lord Guiduo served hard labor in the southwest for ten years. Before his death, he asked someone to bring the water control strategy he had written to my father in the capital. He said that even though he was a criminal, he still wanted to establish his heart for the world and his life for the people. Fuzhi admired him as a person, so she had been looking for an opportunity to fulfill his wish."

Gao Xiyue has always been soft-hearted. After hearing Gui Duo's experience, her eyes became hot and she sighed:

"You are a man of integrity. You still remember to offer this to your father's friend. I will give this to my father. If it is useful, my father will ask for credit for you and Lord Guiduo."

Wang Fuzhi lowered her head, trying hard to hide the tears that had already broken off the string.

She knew that if her father were still alive, even if he was exiled, he would definitely hope that this book would benefit the people.

She always remembered that because her sister was called A Ruo and she was called A Xiao, a bamboo forest was transplanted into the family's home. When her father read books facing the bamboo by the window, he always asked her to recite the Four Lines of Hengqu from memory.

She stood up and bowed, tears in her eyes but a resolute expression.

"Your Highness, Concubine Hui, please do me a favor. I'll leave everything to you."

Gao Xiyue worked quickly and the water control strategy was delivered to the front line in less than five days.

When Gao Bin saw the name of his subordinate Gui Duo on the title page of "Water Conservancy Strategy", he could not help but be shocked.

He had long felt that it was a pity that a talent like Gui Duo in flood control was innocently implicated.

Lord Gao Bin was a man of great temperament. He called Gao Jin and Yong Huang and waved his hand.

"Tell the people below to work harder!"

After two months of working day and night, the breach in the Yellow River was finally successfully closed.

Lord Gao Bin stroked his beard as he looked at his nephew and grandson, who already had unshaven beards and looked unrecognizable from exhaustion. The three generations of the family smiled at each other as they looked at the turbulent river rolling eastward.

On this day, the emperor personally went to the city gate to welcome the heroes who had made contributions to flood control. Lord Gao Bin saw that the emperor was very pleased and was writing a royal poem.

So he took the opportunity to sing praises and presented Gui Duo's book to request credit for Gui Duo.

The emperor was already surrounded by joy, and for a moment, he could not remember who Gui Duo was.

In addition, knowing that the book "Strategies for Water Conservancy" played an indispensable role in the flood control, he readily agreed to rehabilitate Gui Duo, posthumously award him the title of prefect, and posthumously give him the title of Zhongshan.

The emperor also issued another decree to build a river god temple next to the dam construction site to worship Guiduo.

The tombs of Gui Duo and his wife were also moved back to the capital by a special person and buried in the ancestral tomb.

The person who went to move the grave was Gui Duo's old friend, General Wang Sige.

Inside the Yikun Palace, Wang Fuzhi looked at the letter sent by Uncle Wang and burst into tears.

The letter said that now the tomb of father and mother is right behind sister, and that the difficult mountains and rivers have been finally overcome and their souls have been reunited in dreams.

He also said that when he went to the southwest, he saw lush forests and tall bamboos around his father's former residence, which were planted by his father himself during the year he was exiled. They provided shade in front and behind, and were lush and dense.
