The emperor's move shocked everyone. It was even more incredible than the marriage granted to King Qin. Among them, the most surprised and angry one was Concubine Hui in the palace!
She tried her best to plan all of this, just to win over King Qin and compete with King Rui, but who knew that all of this was ruined, and she was also involved!
In the palace, Concubine Hui's face was still bright and charming, but it was a pity that there was a touch of melancholy and regret in her eyes!
Afterwards, Concubine Hui interrogated all the servants in her palace and found out that Wang Jingshu actually wanted to marry King Rui! For this reason, she even drugged King Rui and used such despicable methods.
, but it’s a pity that King Rui found out. In this way, the emperor was fulfilled and the beauty returned!
It's not bad to directly confer a noble title. This person's salary is not low, which can be regarded as giving the Wang family a decent face. However, now the aunt and nephew come to the palace at the same time to serve the emperor. Although this matter is not new, after all
It feels a little weird!
Concubine Hui's heart felt like a ball of cotton had been blocked in. Although it was not heavy, it seemed to have blocked all the pores in her body, making her feel weak all over.
Feeling at ease and feeling depressed.
Noble lady, she is only one step away from the concubine position. As long as she helps a little in this palace, I think she will be able to climb up to the concubine position as quickly as possible. However, if this happens, she will be the one who falls out of favor.
Already?
Concubine Hui's long eyelashes drooped, but her hands were constantly playing with the begonia in front of her. I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly discovered that she had actually planted the begonia on the plate.
It's almost done.
"Begonia? Humph! I am not even afraid of the magnificent peonies, so why should I be afraid of your little mountain flower?"
On the same day, news came out from the palace that Concubine Hui had ordered the agarwood dowry and more than a dozen pots of fresh and beautiful begonia flowers to be sent to Minghuaxuan.
Set on the head and face of red gold.
This move attracted a lot of praise from the emperor, and he went to Concubine Hui first that night. Concubine Hui excused herself from feeling unwell and asked the emperor to go to Minghuaxuan.
Prince Rui's Mansion, Shuiyue Xiaozhu.
"It seems that Concubine Hui is really not that smart. The palace is feeling stable for the time being."
"Xi Xi, I will leave the capital for the south of the Yangtze River in the near future, mainly because of the water conservancy issue. As you said, Fang Shuo and Liu Ruyi can only control it for a while. And the construction of water conservancy projects will probably only be done by relying on
The two of them can't do it."
"Your Majesty, are you allowed to go?" Su Xiyue tilted her head to look at him, wondering if the Emperor was crazy? He actually sent a murderous, cold-blooded prince, so you weren't afraid that he would go on a killing spree in Jiangnan?
"There are not many available people at the moment, and those with too low status will be useless if they go. My father knows very well that if someone else goes, they may not cause him trouble, so he handles the matter beautifully, but this beautiful person
Behind the scenes, there are all some shameful and dirty deeds. Instead of letting them secretly make profits and lose money to the people, it is better to directly use thunderous methods. This kind of effect is actually better."
Su Xiyue nodded, it was true. The construction of water conservancy was originally a major matter that benefited the country and the people. If someone was corrupt and violated the law and embezzled the money privately, it would have caused a disaster for Daqing, which would be extremely detrimental.
"when to go?"
"It hasn't been decided yet. The emperor is currently discussing with the Ministry of Revenue to see how much money can be provided from the treasury."
"Constructing water conservancy projects is easier said than done. It will not only cost a lot of money, but also be extremely labor-intensive. At the same time, it will also offend the local gentry and gentry. I'm afraid this trip will not be easy."
"Xixi, do you want to go with me?"
Su Xiyue's eyes lit up, "It would be best if I could go with you. Besides, isn't my brother also in Jiangnan now? How about seeing how he is doing?"
"I mentioned your matter to my father. He didn't object, but he didn't nod. In fact, you know more about the construction of water conservancy than me. Today, Duan Shi from the Ministry of Industry mentioned it to the emperor again.
After learning some of your strategies, my father is extremely satisfied. You can’t go wrong if you go with me.”
While Su Xiyue was happy, she thought of Mrs. Cheng of the Marquis of Wenchang. After much hesitation, she wrote a few letters.
One letter was written to Cheng Zifeng at the border. The letter advised him to persuade his mother not to get involved in the battle for the right to inherit the heir again, which was a real risk. Moreover, this time King Rui was extremely critical of her behavior.
I'm dissatisfied. If it weren't for your son's outstanding military exploits, I'm afraid he would have taken action against Wenchang Marquis.
The other letter was for Cheng Zilan, asking her to come to the mansion to talk to her. The purpose was to have a heart-to-heart talk with her so that she could persuade her mother not to meddle in the affairs of the royal family again after she returned home.
The third letter was written to my aunt, so that she could go to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion to give her some advice, so that she would not have to face the Wenchang Marquis Mansion again one day!
The fourth letter was written to Su Lian. After Su Xiyue finished writing the letter to Su Lian, there was a smile on her face again, Su Lian, I have helped you so much and forgiven you so many times, now
, it’s time for you to repay me! Let me see how much ability and potential you have!
As soon as the letter was sent, Cheng Zilan came within an hour.
As for Su Xiyue sending a letter to Cheng Zifeng, she went directly to An Ye and asked him to find a way to send it out. After all, she and Prince Rui had just gotten married, so there were some things that it was not necessary for him to know, otherwise, I was afraid that
It’s time to worry too much again.
Cheng Zilan stayed in Shuiyue Xiaozhu for less than half an hour before leaving in a hurry. After getting on the carriage, she did not rush back to Anding Houfu, but went to her parents' home. After learning the news, she did not rush back to Anding Houfu.
, Su Xiyue is finally relieved!
Thinking that he was going to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince, naturally it was to do serious things, not just for fun, so he asked the girls around him to follow him to the study room in the outer courtyard, and then ordered someone to put some things related to water conservancy, vegetation,
Geography and other related books are all packed in boxes for emergencies.
In the evening, Su Xiyue thought of her eldest cousin's wedding again, so she sent gifts to both General Weiyuan's Mansion and Earl's Mansion.
In this way, there were basically not many things for her to worry about in the capital.
It was almost time for dinner, and Prince Rui finally returned home. To her surprise, besides Duan Shi, there were several officials who came back with him that she didn't recognize. They must be from the Ministry of Industry.
Some ministers.
"Xixi, these are all adults who have made great achievements in civil engineering. Today they came here specifically to ask for advice on the reservoir you mentioned."
