It was nearly noon when Su Xiyue got up tiredly. Xiao Lu tied up her hair and then went to the main room to have a meal.
"Where is the prince?"
"Back to the princess, Mr. Liu and several adults were extremely anxious to ask the prince to leave. They said it was in some southern county. It seems to have been raining for days, and they were worried that there would be floods."
Su Xiyue was stunned, "South?" Then she thought again, it was already October, and floods were indeed prone to occur during this season.
"Princess, the prince has given instructions. When you wake up, you must first drink this bowl of chicken soup. Then you can eat." Xiao Lu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Su Xiyue curled her lips, stretched out her hand to touch her forehead and said, "Is there something wrong? I just got up, and you asked me to use such greasy chicken soup?"
"Your Highness, the prince has told me, please don't embarrass me." Xiao Lu looked at her with a troubled face.
Su Xiyue glared at her, knowing that Prince Rui might be more tolerant towards her, but he never had a good face towards these servants.
She reluctantly used half the bowl, but there was really no more left. Xiaolu didn't dare to force her to drink, so she started to serve her dishes and porridge.
After finishing her lunch, Su Xiyue felt that she had some strength. Thinking about what Xiaolu had just said, she hesitated and said, "Go to the prince's study."
Liangchen and Meimei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhuque. Seeing that Zhuque was a little embarrassed, "The prince's study has always been a forbidden area. Whether it is the palace or here, the prince never allows outsiders to enter."
Su Xiyue raised her eyes and looked at her, "You mean, I am also an outsider?"
Su Xiyue was shocked by Su Xiyue's words and her graceful aura at the moment! How could the princess be an outsider? Thinking about the prince's love for her in the past few days, I am afraid that some rules will be applied to her.
Isn’t it easy to use?
"Princess, please forgive me. I will take the princess over right away."
When they arrived at the study, Su Xiyue followed the rules and let people in first to inform her.
After a while, Qinglong came out, lifted the curtain, and invited her in.
As soon as Su Xiyue entered the study room, she saw a few unfamiliar faces. Although they were all wearing casual clothes, their aura and demeanor looked like they were officials. After a cursory glance, they all except
Liu Ruyi only recognized King Rui.
After everyone bowed, someone said, "Your Majesty, this is an important place for discussing government affairs. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has a noble status, is it inappropriate?"
Su Xiyue looked at him gently after hearing this and saw that he was about thirty years old. He was wearing a blue robe and had an elegant temperament. He should be a civil servant.
"This is Duan Shi, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"It turns out to be Mr. Duan. I just heard the report from my servants, saying that it has been raining in the south for days and there is a fear of flooding. Why, I can't even hear this?"
"I don't dare! The princess cares about the people of Daqing, which is a blessing to the people." Duan Shi said something he didn't mean, but it was said openly and gave the prince face.
"Okay, you continue. The princess is just here to accompany me and has nothing to do with you. Continue." King Rui ordered with a cold face.
King Rui has spoken, who dares to say anything else? They can only pretend that the princess does not exist and continue the discussion.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of my subordinates, you should enter the palace immediately and report this matter to the Emperor, so as to leave a good image to the Emperor of your diligence and love for the people!" Another slightly younger man said.
Duan Shi didn't agree after hearing this, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of my subordinates, we should find a countermeasure first. In this way, if the emperor asks questions in the court, you can answer fluently."
Liu Ruyi frowned and said, "It has been raining heavily for five consecutive days in Yanghe County. It would be better if it clears up tomorrow. If not, there will definitely be floods. What I am worried about now is what if it really happens.
When a flood occurs, our preparation measures are too late."
King Rui nodded, "It makes sense. I have already sent people there, and they must have arrived today. But I'm afraid they are helpless now. After all, this flood is the most ruthless."
Duan Shi thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, at least you have sent someone there. Even if the consequences are disastrous, you have at least tried your best."
The more Su Xiyue listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help it anymore and asked aloud, "Mingxi, this flood has not happened yet. First of all, there is no guarantee that there will be a flood. Secondly, if it happens now
We have discussed a reasonable plan and it is still too late to send a message. Why did you say some depressing words just now?"
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other people, who all looked at Prince Rui, with frightened expressions on their faces.
Prince Rui, however, had a calm expression and showed no signs of disturbance. He just signaled Su Xiyue to continue speaking with his eyes.
"Human life is at stake. Once this flood occurs, I don't know how many people will lose their homes, let alone how many people will die here! My lords, why do you give up so easily?"
Duan Shi said with some displeasure, "Your Highness, this flood is different from poetry and poetry. You can't win praise for yourself by just splashing ink."
Su Xiyue didn't have any violent reaction, but Prince Rui got angry first! His cold eyebrows raised his eyes, which made people feel chilled!
"Master Duan's words are very true! Controlling floods is indeed difficult! But now, aren't everyone thinking about how to save themselves?" Su Xiyue's voice was slightly high, her eyebrows were knitted, and her face was solemn. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be
It made everyone feel a sense of oppression!
"I wonder what the princess has to say?" Liu Ruyi thought, maybe, what can she do?
Su Xiyue lowered her head and thought deeply, but this action aroused a burst of contempt from the others, with dissatisfaction in their eyes. Women should be at home caring for their husbands and raising children, how could they show up in public and interfere in men's affairs?
?Okay now? You just talk some big words and empty words, but you don’t have any practical methods?
"Preparations before floods and some emergency self-rescue before floods should be sent to Yanghe County officials as soon as possible. Although it is a bit late now, there are only as many people as we can save. In case there is no flood, then
Just think of it as preparing for the coming year. After all, the south has always been prone to floods. If we are lucky enough to avoid it this time, it will be the best! If we can't avoid it, it can still play a certain role."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, while Liu Ruyi looked happy, "I wonder if Princess could be more specific? For example, what you just said about self-rescue?"
Su Xiyue thought about how to word her words, and then saw King Rui's encouraging eyes, and then she said clearly, "First of all, let the local officials survey the terrain and routes first, and clarify the evacuation routes before the flood comes.
and the destination, and it is necessary to mark it well, preferably as a sign to guide the people to escape, so as to avoid taking the wrong path due to panic. It is best to choose stone carvings for the signs. If it is too late, choose wood carvings! Just do it and
Remember, the wooden sign needs to be nailed deeper into the ground."
