"Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't like this kind of banquet, can I not go?"

The old lady took out the post in her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Mingyue.

"I'm afraid it won't work this time, the sixth prince is the prince that the emperor attaches the most importance to, and this post was also personally sent by the emperor's personal eunuch, with your name on it."

Zhang Mingyue opened the red sticker in her hand, and sure enough, her name was listed in it.

You can't hide if you keep hiding, and what should come will always come.

Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to be like my brother, put on armor and go into battle, and death is enough.

Now that I have made a decision, I have been relieved a lot, looking at Xiao Soft fluttering butterflies in the garden, and I haven't pounced on one for a long time, I just feel very interesting.

"Soft, my sister is here to help you flutter butterflies, which one do you want?"

"I want that blue one, sister, grab it."

Zhang Mingyue was very agile, grabbed the blue butterfly, and handed it to the soft one, but the soft one didn't hold it, and the butterfly flew higher with its wings again.

[Wow, my sister's force is so greasy, it's not too handsome. It's a pity that the little butterfly, the nest will let you go first. 】

The girl chuckled.

Yes, butterflies struggle to escape from their own hands.

You can also be like a butterfly, struggling forward, maybe you can escape the tragic fate.

Hearing Xiao Soft slapping his ass, the corners of his mouth rose slightly again, and the haze that had been pressing on his heart in the past few days was swept away.

After a soft flutter of butterflies all afternoon, Concubine Zhao slept in Chenghuan Palace for an afternoon to make up for the missing sleep last night.

When I opened my eyes, it was time for dinner.

Jinlan pushed open the door and walked in,

"Master, you can be considered awake, just now Gonggong Zhao handed over a message, saying that the emperor will come over and finish the meal together."

Thinking that Gu Jin was coming, Concubine Zhao's eyebrows were frowning, and her stomach was churning.

Jinlan is a discerning person, and hurriedly serves a glass of warm water.

"Master, if you are uncomfortable, the slave will go and tell Gonggong Zhao and ask the emperor to come back another day."

"No, let's dress up the palace, it's simple, and the incense will be lit in a while."

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Zhaozhao, I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare golden swiftlet's nest, as well as two cooked fried fresh fish, and bring it to you to taste."

Concubine Zhao glanced at the dishes on the table, in addition to the ones she usually eats on weekdays, there are also a few new dishes.

It looks good, but Gu Jin is disgusting himself here, and he can't eat anything.

"Thank you, the emperor, but the concubines have already eaten, please use it slowly."

"Well, I just ate a little bit in Chuxiu Palace, I didn't hear that you slept in the afternoon, maybe you were sick, so I came to take a look."

Gu Jin was testing her.

Concubine Zhao pretended to be jealous and turned her face, "The emperor changes new people every day, how can he ever consider the bitterness of the old people." ”

Hearing Concubine Zhao's sour mouth, Gu Jin laughed.

Concubine Zhao is really still like this.

On weekdays, she is too domineering, so she has to teach a lesson.

"Zhaozhao is not an old person, you are the person on the tip of my heart."

"Shhh

Concubine Zhao couldn't help but churn in her stomach and retched.

"The concubine is not, what about Sister Liangfei, how long has it been since the emperor has been to see Sister Liangfei, and the floods in Jiangnan are not a day or two, Sister Liangfei washes her face with tears all day long, and the emperor doesn't go to see it?"

Speaking of Concubine Liang, Gu Jin remembered that there was still this talented girl from Jiangnan in the palace.

"It's not that I don't want to see her, it's that I'm too busy with government affairs to get away."

The scumbag's excuses are always endless.

"What about the people of Jiangnan? Doesn't the emperor want to care? ”

Gu Jin's face instantly darkened. It turned out that it was what Concubine Liang said that made Concubine Zhao so resentful.

"Zhaozhao, when do you also care about government affairs?"

"Your Majesty, the people of Jiangnan are in the flood and can't eat enough, but we are here with big fish and big meat......"

Concubine Zhao didn't want to say any more, a teardrop slipped down her lips, and her cold face added a touch of delicateness.

Gu Jin hugged her from behind, "Okay, okay, I will discuss this matter in the court tomorrow, and if there is a result, I will send someone to tell Concubine Liang, so that she can rest assured." ”

"Well~, the concubine knows that the emperor is a Ming monarch and cares about the people."

Dinner is tasteless.

After dinner, Gu Jin used the reason that he was busy with government affairs and did not stay in Chenghuan Palace.

He has more important places to go, and the three newly sealed Chuxiu Palaces today can't be left out in the cold.

After Gu Jin left, Concubine Zhao called Jinlan.

Jinlan brought a letter.

There was only one sentence on the letter, "The affairs of Jiangnan will definitely live up to your trust." ”

The next morning.

There were twice as many excerpts in the case in front of the emperor as in normal times.

Most of it was for the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River.

Only then did Gu Jin realize the seriousness.

In previous years, there were also floods, and the governor of Jiangnan dealt with them by himself, so why can't the floods this year.

Before Gu Jin's chagrin ended, the ministers began to discuss.

Some suggested allocating funds to fight the disaster, while others suggested rebuilding the river embankment.

At the mention of the appropriation, the officials of the household department immediately began to shake their heads and sigh.

Referring to the Ministry of River Embankment Construction, he said that the Ministry of Household Affairs could not come up with the money, and they could not repair it.

For a while, no one came up with a result.

At this moment, Prime Minister Wen, who had never spoken, spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should find a person with prestige in the court to go to Jiangnan in person to assist the governor of Jiangnan in controlling the flood."

"Since then, it has not only deterred officials from concentrating on controlling the floods, but also calmed the hearts of the people in Jiangnan."

"Wen Aiqing's words are very true, so who do you think can do it?"

Prime Minister Wen looked at the regent who had been closing his eyes and recuperating.

"The minister thinks that the most prestigious person in the court is none other than the regent."

As soon as this remark came out, the three servants of the household, the officials, and the soldiers responded.

Gu Ji opened his eyes and watched Gu Jin and Prime Minister Wen Cheng sing double reeds.

"Would you like to, Lord Regent?"

It's really calculating, if you go, you will fall into your trap, and if you don't go, you will have to bear the infamy of ignoring the lives of the people for Gu Jin.

Gu Ji looked deeply at the man on the dragon chair, then picked up the Chao Wat and bowed his head, and the resentment in his eyes instantly dissipated.

"Yes."

"Okay." Gu Jin slapped the table, in a good mood.

"The date of departure is set for three days later."

"I can still pay a few more toasts to the regent at the birthday banquet of the six princes tomorrow."

After the morning court, Gu Ji always felt that someone behind him had been staring at him.

Turning around, it was General Zhang.

"The Lord Regent's visit is not a wise move."

"Oh? General Zhang, I heard that there is a tavern in the city that makes the new snowflake brew very mellow, so it is better to try it together. ”

"The old man is good at wine, and it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
