There is no shortage of people in the Shanggong Bureau, but there is a shortage of money in the emperor's treasury.
Guangdong and Guangxi asked for money every year to build roads and dig water canals. If they didn't receive the money, they would jointly submit a letter with officials from both places to ruin Emperor Xuanwu's reputation and make the people think that the imperial court did not allocate funds.
But how can anyone like them repair it every year and ask the court for money every year?
Even if the emperor's treasury is not empty, no emperor would be dissatisfied with too much money.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at Emperor Xuanwu. His eyebrows were furrowed, a dim light flashed in his eyes, and his lips were pressed into a tight line, seemingly unhappy.
But she noticed that his right hand was turning the jade ring on his left thumb, and the frequency of turning was not heavy, but rather brisk.
He wanted the Qin family's property, but he didn't want people to think he was a greedy emperor.
Although he was greedy for these things for the betterment of the Yan Dynasty, it still didn't sound good to say it out loud.
As long as she saw his attitude clearly, Jiang Xinyue knew what to do.
She stepped forward, and under Qin Ruofang's anxious eyes, she helped her up from the ground and smiled softly at her: "Miss Qin dared to stop the Holy Driver for the sake of her parents and sister. It is really commendable for her courage, not to mention the ladies and ladies present. I feel sorry for you, and I can’t bear to see you.”
The beautiful imperial concubine looked at the emperor and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please promise Miss Qin! Let her join the Shang Palace Bureau and give me some beautiful hairpins! I have heard about it in the palace. The name of Qin's Jewelry Pavilion! Can you please be my concubine this time?"
All the men present felt their hearts soften.
If there was such a beautiful woman acting coquettishly and coquettishly towards them, even the iron wall would make a hole for her.
Who can withstand this?
Emperor Xuanwu said that he couldn't bear it. When he looked at Jiang Xinyue, his eyes that were covered with frost a moment ago showed tenderness that he didn't often show: "Since it's what Yue'er wants, how can I dare to say no? ?”
He glanced sideways at Tang Shiliang: "I'll leave a ship here. You can take someone to accompany Miss Qin to handle the family affairs, and then come to the palace together. Then I will arrange for a female official from the Shang Palace Bureau to replace you."
"This slave obeys your orders."
Qin Ruofang showed gratitude. While thanking the emperor, she also did not forget to pay her respects to Jiang Xinyue.
After such an episode, everyone understood that the imperial concubine had an unshakable position in the emperor's heart.
"Ugh... ugh..."
The gorgeous boats were crowded together on the water heading towards Qinzhou, and a violent retching sound came from the cabin of the main ship.
"It's so uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable...wow..."
The magpie fanned her nose and quietly opened the cabin window to get some air. Nanny Lu, whose face was pale from vomiting, rushed over and lay down at the window to breathe in the fresh air.
But then one wave after another hit her. Her stomach was churning and her head was dizzy: "I...I feel like I'm going to die."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
While Magpie was soaking her in tangerine peel water, she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It'll be here in half a day. You'll be able to endure it quickly."
"Magpie..."
Shuangjiang knocked on the door: "How is Nanny Lu? Can I come in?"
The magpie quickly jumped up and fanned out all the smells in the cabin out the window. After making sure that there was no unpleasant smell, he ran over and opened the door: "Mother, Shuangsheng, you are here, Nanny Lu is about to vomit to death."
Jiang Xinyue stepped aside: "Mr. Yan, please go in first and show her."
After Imperial Physician Yan entered, Jiang Xinyue followed him in, and was startled when she saw the disheveled Nanny Lu.
She thought that the eldest princess who got motion sick would definitely get seasick, so she prepared countless motion sickness medicines and various hot and sour, sweet and sour food and snacks for the eldest princess.
Xiao Xiangzi had done some research in advance before setting off. No one in Hexi Palace got motion sickness. They all ignored it. Nanny Lu used to live in the village and had never even been out of that small village. She had never been on a sedan chair or a boat. Far away?
Doctor Yan took her pulse and then prescribed a prescription. She was about to go to Xiao Xiangzi to get the medicine with her, but Nanny Lu waved her hand: "I don't want to take the medicine, I'll give... I have to breastfeed the Sixth Prince, I can't Take medicine.”
After the medicine entered the human body, she was afraid that it would be poisonous if the sixth prince drank her milk.
Jiang Xinyue felt a little softer after hearing this: "Don't worry, the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yan will definitely have no effect on the Sixth Prince."
Nanny Lu shook her head: "How can it not have any effect? It's a medicine that's three parts poisonous. You don't understand, ma'am. I won't take it. This slave... vomit... can hold on."
Jiang Xinyue thought for a moment: "Then Imperial Physician Yan, you can prescribe some tangerine peel water for her, and Magpie will fry it for Nurse Lu to drink later."
When she heard that it was tangerine peel water, Nanny Lu did not object. It could prevent the baby from being bloated, and there would be no harm in drinking it.
She was so kind-hearted that she couldn't understand the look between the imperial concubine, Imperial Physician Yan, and Magpie.
What finally came into her hands was a bowl of motion sickness medicine prepared by Imperial Physician Yan, which had no effect on the Sixth Prince.
After drinking it, Nanny Lu felt much better. She even sighed with Aunt Xiang: "It is indeed the tangerine peel water from the palace. It is much better than the one in the countryside. I don't feel dizzy anymore."
Aunt Xiang glanced at Jiang Xinyue who was smiling, then took the Sixth Prince and put him in Nanny Lu's arms: "The Sixth Prince is hungry, please feed him quickly!"
If this idiot keeps talking, it's time for the empress to reward her with ten or eight catties of tangerine peel.
The emperor had to deal with such a big corruption case today, and many matters had to be arranged, so he went to the front to discuss with the courtiers.
The county magistrate of Guiyang and the governor of Qinzhou were raped together. The cleverness involved could not be arranged in a few sentences.
Qinzhou is located in a remote area. It is shaded all year round but has plenty of sunshine. There are many Luan trees planted in Qinzhou, just on the banks of the river.
The yellow leaves and green leaves on the branches are mixed together to form a colorful picture.
The most astonishing thing is its pink and green flowers. I don’t know whether they are flowers or fruits. They are strung together like small lanterns and swirling down in the air.
A rain of flowers can make painters immersed in its beauty and splendor.
Because there are beautiful scenery along the way, Jiang Xinyue doesn't feel bored. The concubines in the harem are now hugging each other to keep warm, ostracizing her as the only favored imperial concubine.
What does it matter?
This kind of plastic sister flower is not rare to Jiang Xinyue.
It is a huge joke to believe that there is real friendship between the women in the harem.
The scenery is pleasant and the days are getting longer.
It was night when all the ships docked.
On the shore were the officials who had been waiting since morning. Under the bright lights, Jiang Xinyue didn't feel so light when her feet landed on the ground.
Nanny Lu seemed to be alive. She looked here and there, and everything felt strange.
However, she remembered what she told her mama, not to look at others, not to step out of the protective circle, and followed Magpie and others step by step.
