Cheng Ziyu naturally didn't know that the reason why she was hand-picked was that the emperor and others were becoming more and more curious about her.

This summer, as in previous years, several rivers in the south were flooded.

Although the relief work has long since ended, it is inevitable that there will be disasters or victims.

The emperor knew in his heart, in order to look good, he also deliberately brought two more officials from the household department with him this time, and if the situation was not good, he would allocate some silver taels to do good deeds.

But all the way to stop and stop, until you enter the Huai River Basin, even the waters in the wilderness are peaceful and prosperous, and you haven't even seen a single refugee.

Although the queen mother was happy, she was also afraid that the emperor would unite with the local government to deliberately please her.

So at a stop, the Queen Mother specially invited a local person who was burdened to ask questions.

The man was honest, and said that it was not that there were no refugees, but that they were all taken in. He also said that a great good lord opened a good church, and everyone who flooded the field and suffered from insect infestations could receive food and cloth. There are still fewer good halls in the north of the river, and it is said that at the other end of the river, good halls have been built every hundred miles......

At the beginning, the emperor and the queen mother did not take it to heart, but later in the "observation of the people's feelings" in the repeated stops and occasional landings, they found that it was really true.

The Queen Mother ordered her grandmother to dress up as a common person and go to Shantang, and sure enough, she received a big bowl of new rice, and she was immediately interested. When I saw the clean and tidy good hall with my own eyes, and heard the name and story of the good lord, I was even more curious.

After a month of fermentation, Jiangnan and Jiangbei have received the grace of Shantang and circulated a lot of stories about Cheng Ziyu, although the truth is mixed, but without exception they are all praises for Cheng Ziyu and his person.

The Queen Mother is also willing to accept the courage of a little girl who can use the family's profits for ten years to do good, and she can follow up on the ability of many wealthy families to donate, and she can't wait to see what kind of girl she is.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, since that Cheng Ziyu is a businessman, maybe he heard that the imperial driver is going south and wants to speculate!"

This was the emperor's first reaction, and he didn't believe that there were people in the world who were so generous.

The facts that can be heard prove that the end of the Doutao Meeting, and the day Cheng Ziyu announced his good deeds, more than ten days earlier than the Holy Decree arrived in the south. There was no reason why she might not know the Prophet......

Foresee?

No one saw it, but Zhu Changan clenched his fists when he heard these four words. Will Cheng Ziyu be an unpredictable prophet? For the first time, he thought about this, since he himself brought a prophet, would it be Cheng Ziyu...... What if not? What fool in the world would give so much silver to an irrelevant poor ghost in one fell swoop? ……

However, Zhu Changan was dragged to the cabin by Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao wiped away her tears again.

"A few months ago, didn't you take a fancy to this person named Cheng Ziyu? Aren't you guaranteed to get your hands on it? You smashed into the concubine a pearl, so many gems, so where can this Cheng Ziyu be settled? Isn't what she donated our silver? Yes? Does she still have any silver at this moment? When are you going to bring her in? She is so rich, why do you let her go, but you still get a Wang Yue back? What to do now? Can your father agree to you taking two merchant girls? ……”

Zhu Changan's head hurt a little, and he didn't know how to respond, he just flicked his sleeves and went out, leaving Concubine Zhao there touching her chest and shouting that it hurts......

The mother and son first parted unhappily with poor faces, and then Concubine Zhao didn't even use lunch, which naturally fell into the eyes of Princess Wenlan. Obviously, this Cheng Ziyu and Zhu Changan also have something to do with it.

Wen Lan cautiously tried a few words at Concubine Zhao's place, and Concubine Zhao's hesitant appearance made her confirm this. She was suddenly furious, and she wanted to see what a bewitching slut this Cheng Ziyu was......

Cheng Ziyu didn't expect that the so-called pick-up was just a reason, although it was not far from Yangzhou Wharf, but the fleet did not plan to dock today.

According to the day and hour calculated by the Qin Tianjian Supervisor, the fleet will dock at noon tomorrow, in other words, the royal people will stay on the ship for the night today.

So, after layers of inventory and release, Cheng Ziyu and Wang Yue were picked up by a small boat at Yangzhou Wharf, and then sent to the fleet......

Even though he had seen the pomp in front of him in his previous life, at this moment, seeing the red gold dragon head shining in the sun, and the luxurious landscape boats lined up, Cheng Ziyu was still a little flustered.

"Don't be afraid!" Wang Yue smiled at her and came up and grabbed her hand.

But in fact, Wang Yue's own hands were even colder than Cheng Ziyu, and Cheng Ziyu saw her frowning imperceptibly at the fleet and swallowed a mouthful of water.

Fortunately, Cheng Ziyu had secretly bought some anti-vomiting pregnancy pills for Wang Yue and just let her take them in advance, so her stomach should not be discovered this night.

The piece of gold was getting closer and closer, Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath, but he still couldn't suppress the pounding heartbeat. Although she wanted to see the Queen Mother, she hated and feared the emperor.

The Emperor was suspicious, and she could not let him see hate.

She took a deep breath and finally straightened her clothes.

Today's first meeting came too early, she struggled for a long time, and finally settled on a lilac dress. In terms of ornaments, she simply chose a set of pale pink pearl ornaments.

It's not to stand out from the crowd, but that she is a small person at the moment, and she is really not suitable for dominating the crowd, and she is not in her plan at the moment, so she just wants to keep a low profile.

She followed behind Wang Yue and cautiously boarded the big golden dragon boat at the front.

She hung her head, her eyes were only on her toes, her steps were unhurried, and her lilac skirt was swaying gracefully......

In the golden autumn season, the cool breeze on the river is more interesting than in the cabin, so at this moment, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Empress and the Grand Prince are playing leaf cards on the observation deck on the second floor.

Seeing that someone was coming below, the female officer whispered the identity of the person, and the few people playing cards cast their eyes down......

Just now the emperor and the queen mother made a bet.

The emperor thought that Cheng Ziyu was ambitious and wanted to climb up, but the queen mother decided that with the elegance of Cheng Ziyu's craftsmanship, she was definitely not a grandstander.

At this moment, the Queen Mother saw that Cheng Ziyu was plain and light, just like a lily. And even though she is so low-key, there is an unstoppable aura overflowing all around her, which makes her feel a little happy when she sees it.

But the emperor didn't think so.

"Look, just a little! She walked almost perfectly, a little more graceful than the side concubine beside her. Look, I must have done some hard work! I don't believe she didn't have what she wanted. Queen, what do you think, how is this gait? ”

"It's really good, the concubine also thinks that this girl should have worked hard! However, this girl took the invitation card for the three major banquets, and there was nothing wrong with working hard. As for whether she has ambitions, let's just give her a try? ”
