Zhao Wanning finally went to Qingzhou.

When the eldest princess went to the palace to meet Emperor Shengde, it happened that Wu Daoquan handed over the secret fold.

It is said that a large number of people in Qingzhou have a strange disease, which seems to be no different from ordinary wind and cold symptoms, but the sick people are difficult to recover, and more and more people are sick, and the doctors are helpless, afraid that there is a plague.

Emperor Shengde was very concerned about this.

The flood in Qingzhou is extraordinary, and because Qingzhou is too derelict in its duties, the people of Qingzhou have complained about the imperial court, and there have been some rumors in the capital that are not conducive to the saints. Emperor Shengde was particularly concerned about the affairs of Qingzhou.

Now Qingzhou is suspected of having a plague, if this matter cannot be properly resolved, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people of the world.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Emperor Shengde, who lost the hearts of the people, did not know what serious consequences he would face.

The Qingzhou flood has sent Wu Daoquan as a minister to govern, but Wu Daoquan is only a minister after all, he represents the imperial court, and he can only represent the imperial court.

People are selfish, and Emperor Shengde, as emperor, is no exception. He naturally hopes to be able to maintain the majesty of his son of heaven at all times.

The Qingzhou incident caused the prestige of Emperor Shengde to be damaged, and he was trying to make up for it. The best way to make amends is for the royal family to go to Qingzhou to pacify the people and deal with the plague.

Emperor Shengde was the first to think of the crown prince Zhao Wangjin.

But the queen reminded him that the Western Qiguo would soon send an envoy to the Great Zhou. This is the first time that the envoys of the Western Qiguo have sent an envoy to the Great Zhou, according to the news from the secret agents in the Western Qiguo, the Western Qiguo wants to send the Princess Jinyue of the Western Qiguo to the Great Zhou and his relatives. The two countries married to show their diplomatic relations.

At this juncture, Zhao Wangjin, as the object of peace, must not leave the capital.

However, if other princes are sent to Qingzhou, if the matter can be resolved smoothly, it will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people. In this way, it is a threat to Zhao Wangjin's position as the crown prince.

The appearance of the eldest princess Zhao Wangshu made Emperor Shengde breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Wangshugui is the eldest princess of the dynasty and the sister of His Royal Highness the Prince. If she goes to Qingzhou, she can not only represent the royal family, but also will not threaten Zhao Wangjin's crown prince.

Emperor Shengde sent the eldest princess to Qingzhou.

The eldest princess is naturally willing to go to Qingzhou, and this trip to Qingzhou is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people. She originally collected a lot of medicinal materials privately, just to send them to Qingzhou. originally thought that she could only stand behind the scenes and have the court come forward to solve the matter, but she didn't want Emperor Shengde to give her this credit directly.

The eldest princess bowed and saluted: "My daughter will live up to her father's trust." ”

She lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer. Why did Emperor Shengde send her? It's not because she is a woman, and she is Zhao Wangjin's sister. Even if she can solve this matter beautifully and win the respect and love of the people, she will not be able to inherit the throne because of her status as a woman, and will not pose any threat to Zhao Wangjin's crown prince.

But father, this world has always been inhabited by the capable, and it is not certain who will kill the deer.

When the eldest princess went out, she happened to meet Zhao Wangjin, the crown prince who had come to meet Emperor Shengde.

"Sister Huang." Zhao Wangjin affectionately called the eldest princess Zhao Wangshu.

Emperor Shengde intended to send him to Qingzhou, but he could not get out because of the envoy of the Western Qiguo. Such a good opportunity, he could never give it to other younger brothers, so he recommended Zhao Wangshu, the sister of a fellow mother, to Emperor Shengde.

Looking at this situation, Zhao Wangshu should have agreed.

Zhao Wangjin felt that Zhao Wangshu, as his own sister, must be standing by his side. Today, Zhao Wangshu solved a trouble for him, and he naturally thanked Zhao Wangshu very much.

"Sister Huang, you must be careful during your trip to Qingzhou. I have prepared some fine medicinal herbs, and I have sent someone to your house. You remember to bring it. ”

Even when he was thanking his sister, Zhao Wangjin's tone unconsciously brought a high shelf, which came from his determination of his future throne.

How is he worthy of being an emperor? Zhao Wangshu only felt that his words were harsh. Over the years, Zhao Wangjin has been working hard to curry favor with Emperor Shengde, just in order to keep his position as the crown prince, everything goes along with Emperor Shengde, and he does not have any ideas about the affairs of the court and China. How can such a person be the king of a country?

Zhao Wangshu's face was not obvious, she smiled lightly: "Do you already know that I am going to Qingzhou?" ”

Zhao Wangjin also smiled, and he said: "I saw that the imperial sister was a heroine among women, so I took the initiative to suggest to my father that you go to Qingzhou and come forward in place of my royal family." I believe that the royal sister will be able to live up to the trust. ”

Zhao Wangshu smiled: "Then I will thank you first." ”

"I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

Without waiting for Zhao Wangjin to answer, Zhao Wangshu turned around and left, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared as she turned around.

After leaving the palace, Zhao Wangshu did not return to the palace immediately, but went to the eldest princess's mansion first.

Xu was because the wind was blowing, and Zhao Wanning had a little cough on the way back home. After returning home, he was forced to lie down on the bed by silver candles and painting screens.

Zhao Wanning's medicine has been warm on the stove, and when she comes back, she will serve her to use it.

Zhao Wanning grinned at the bitter bared teeth, and her facial features were squeezed together. But she also knows her body, if she doesn't take care of her body, how will she deal with the next challenges?

She is bound to win the trip to Qingzhou. She also knows that Qingzhou is a long way away, and with her current physical fitness, she is afraid that she will not be able to reach it smoothly. So she tried her best to cooperate with the picture screen to take medicine on time, wanting to take care of her body as soon as possible.

When the eldest princess came, Zhao Chenan was still learning the rules in the garden.

As soon as Mama Zheng saw the eldest princess passing by, she took her maid and saluted her.

Zhao Chen'an was also held down by several palace maids, and respectfully saluted the eldest princess.

"Mama Zheng, ...... are you?" Princess Celestia asked casually.

Mama Zheng replied very respectfully: "It's the eldest princess, who invited a slave to teach the rules to the girls in the house." Let the eldest princess smile. ”

The eldest princess also heard Zhao Wanning complain, saying that the eldest princess had found Mama Zheng in the palace to teach Zhao Chen'an, but Zhao Chen'an didn't know what to do, and she didn't learn after two days. I didn't expect to start learning the rules again this time.

Looking at Zhao Chen'an's respectful expression and serious learning attitude, I am afraid that it is not just to learn the rules.

Celestia thought that the New Year was approaching. Every Chinese New Year's Eve, a palace banquet is held in the palace, inviting relatives of the emperor and ministers of the central government to bring their relatives to participate.

This eldest princess won't be dizzy and want Zhao Chenan to attend the palace banquet, right?

"yes, I've heard that, too." Zhao Wanning half leaned on the bed: "It was said that my mother was going to take her to the palace banquet, so I invited Mama Zheng to teach her to learn the rules again, so that she would not make a fool of herself at the palace banquet, lose her honor in front of the palace, and lose the people of our eldest princess's mansion." ”

"Auntie, this is crazy, isn't it?" The eldest princess frowned and said, "Don't she know Zhao Chen'an's identity?" She actually wanted to take Zhao Chenan to the palace banquet? ”

"What wouldn't she dare?" Zhao Wanning ate half of the oranges handed to her by the silver candle. The sweet orange diluted the bitterness in her mouth.

"What about you? That's how you let her do whatever she wants in the house? Celestia said again.

"Ah, yes, what else would I do?" Zhao Wanning continued to eat oranges without distractions. "My mother has been spoiling her for a day or two, how can there be a place for me to put my beak in this house?"

When the eldest princess saw her expression, she knew that a lot of such things must have happened, so that Zhao Wanning didn't care anymore.

She changed her words and then asked, "How are you now?" ”

Zhao Wanning patted his chest and said, "I'm as strong as a cow now...... Ahem. ”

The uncontrollable coughing sound disrupted Zhao Wanning's image. She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." I'm about to pull the strings now. ”

"You." The eldest princess tapped her forehead with her finger, and then said, "Wu Daoquan has handed over the fold, and there is a suspected plague in Qingzhou." My father sent me to Qingzhou. ”

"Why did they send you to Qingzhou? Didn't you say that the imperial court came forward to solve it? Zhao Wanning's eyes were full of doubts.

"There are a lot of things involved in Qingzhou. It's not just the court that wants to come out. The royal family also has to step forward. Now that the imperial court has sent a minister, the royal family ......"

"Did the royal family send you? You shouldn't send a prince, at least you should be a prince. Zhao Wanning asked.

"Why can't I go?" Princess Celestia asked rhetorically.

"It's not that you can't go, it's just ......"

"It's just that only the prince has always been able to represent the royal family in writing, and there has never been a princess who can represent the royal family. Is that right? ”

Zhao Wanning did not speak, and responded silently.

This is not to blame her, since the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a princess to participate in court politics, not to mention that this time she went to a place outside the capital. You must know that people in the royal family, unless there are special circumstances, are not allowed to leave the capital at will.

"Just because you have never been means you can't?" The eldest princess smiled heartily: "I want to break the rule that this princess is not allowed to participate in politics." ”

"With me as the first person, there will be a second person, a third person. Let me start it all. ”

Zhao Wanning looked at the confident face of the eldest princess, and felt that what she wanted to do must be able to do.

Zhao Wanning said with a smile: "Cousin, I believe in you, this trip to Qingzhou will definitely be able to gain something." ”

The eldest princess turned around and walked over to her and sat down, saying, "Wanning, I need your help. ”

"Are you going to Qingzhou?" Zhao Wanning asked.

The eldest princess nodded: "Wu Daoquan's secret letter said that those people in Qingzhou seem to be infected with wind cold, and the symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of wind cold, but the doctor can't diagnose what is going on, and he is not sure what kind of plague it is." ”

"I'm afraid I still need your help."

Zhao Wanning nodded: "I can go." It's just that if I leave Beijing, I'm afraid I will need to ask the Holy ......."

"No need to ask." The eldest princess said, "I already told him when I met the Holy One today. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Wanning was surprised, for fear that the eldest princess would say something she had predicted in her dream.

Seeing her surprised expression, the eldest princess knew what she was worried about, and reassured, "Don't worry, your dream can predict this, and I won't tell anyone." ”

"Then what did you tell the Holy One?" Zhao Wanning asked curiously.

"I said." The eldest princess looked into Zhao Wanning's eyes: "I said that I have a long way to go to Qingzhou this time, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing, I'm afraid I will have to spend this New Year in Qingzhou." I'm afraid of being lonely, so I want to take you with me. We sisters can also take care of each other. ”

Zhao Wanning was thoughtful, and this reason was quite sufficient. The eldest princess's mother, the queen mother, only gave birth to two children, the eldest princess and the crown prince, and the palace has always been different, and the princess and princess born to other concubines are naturally not very close to the eldest princess and the prince.

And Zhao Wanning is different. She is the daughter of the eldest princess. She has no conflict of interest with Princess Celestia, and there is no issue of position, and their relationship is more intimate.

"When are we leaving?" Zhao Wanning asked.

"How's your health?" Celestia asked.

"Yes." Zhao Wanning said: "My body can do it." ”

The eldest princess looked Zhao Wanning up and down carefully, and then said, "Don't be reckless." It is a long way to go to Qingzhou. If you're not feeling well, you're afraid you won't be able to make the way. ”

"You better have a good rest these two days, and I also have to make some preparations. I still have to order the big and small things in Beijing, make arrangements, and transfer a few capable doctors from the Tai Hospital to go with me. ”

"You can rest in the house for a few days, and ...... Accompany my aunt. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded reluctantly.

"Don't worry, I'll tell her on my aunt's side. It won't embarrass you. ”
