The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 239

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window lattices onto the floor of the palace, creating mottled light and shadows.

The atmosphere in the court was somewhat cold.

The ministers, dressed in court robes, stood solemnly in the center, with a hint of worry on their faces.

Yesterday, news came from the southwestern and southern areas that floods were raging and the disaster was serious.

This news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire court.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, with a heavy expression on his face.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, the southwestern and southern regions have suffered from flood disasters. The disaster is serious and the local officials are in urgent need of help."

General Yun was a burly man, and he looked majestic as soon as he stepped out of the line. His face was full of the vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were bright, revealing a kind of determination and courage. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send people to provide disaster relief, so as to prevent the people in the disaster area from rioting due to lack of food and causing unrest."

Shangguan Dong followed closely behind, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this person was chosen because of his noble status, which makes people feel that the court values ​​him."

After hearing what General Yun and Shangguan Dong said, the ministers began to discuss the matter.

Some ministers thought that a prestigious veteran should be sent, while others thought that a prince should be sent to appease the people.

Everyone held their own opinions and it was difficult to reach a consensus for a while.

Prince Jun Yaotian stepped out and bowed deeply to the emperor, then said, "Father, I am willing to go to the disaster area to provide relief and comfort the people."

The emperor looked at the prince, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He asked the prince to stay in the capital, but the prince was easily controlled by Concubine Shu. The emperor is very dissatisfied with the prince now.

Jun Yaotian added: "Father, I will definitely get things done and will not let you down."

The atmosphere in the court gradually became tense.

The ministers of the prince's party spoke up for him one after another. Their voices echoed in the court, vying for the opportunity to provide disaster relief for the prince.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and promising. He will surely be able to play a big role in disaster relief and appease the people." A minister stepped forward and said, his voice was sonorous and powerful, full of trust and expectations for the Crown Prince.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been concerned about the suffering of the people, and it is his duty to provide disaster relief this time." Another minister echoed, his face filled with admiration and support for the Crown Prince.

The emperor listened to the ministers' discussion and hesitated. He knew the prince's ability, but he was also worried about his safety and stability in the disaster area. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Prince, are you really willing to go?"

Prince Jun Yaotian listened to the emperor's words. He knew that the emperor had high expectations of him and had always disappointed him. He also knew that he had a heavy responsibility. He firmly replied: "Father, I will do my best and will not let you down." His voice revealed a kind of confidence and determination, which made people feel his firmness and courage.

After hearing what the prince said, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay, then go. Remember, put the country and the people first." His voice revealed a kind of encouragement and support, which made the prince feel extremely excited and encouraged.

Afterwards, the emperor issued an order, and Crown Prince Jun Yaotian took supplies to the disaster area for relief, assisted by Grand Tutor Fan Wenbian, Lieutenant Ren Yong led troops to escort the food, and a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau accompanied him.

We will set off in three days, and all preparations are going on in full swing.

Shangguan Ziling put on a beautiful dress early in the morning, and after finishing her makeup, she couldn't wait to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Beichen Xue had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Shangguan Ziling coming, she smiled warmly and came to greet her.

The mother and daughter went into the yard, sat down and started chatting about family matters.

Beichen Xue asked softly, "Zi Ling, have you had breakfast again?" Her eyes were gentle, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, making people feel warm.

Before Shangguan Ziling could answer, Xia Yu could not help but say, "The princess woke up early in the morning and kept talking about coming back to see the lady. She hasn't even had breakfast yet!" Her words were a little playful, but also revealed her concern for the princess.

When Shangguan Ziling heard what Xia Yu said, she couldn't help but glare at her.

Seeing this, Xia Yu stuck out her tongue and made a cute expression, causing everyone around her to burst out laughing.

Beichen Xue was very happy watching this scene. Although she had not accompanied her daughter to grow up, her daughter still relied on her and missed her so much. She gently tapped Shangguan Ziling's nose, her eyes full of love.

Then, Beichen Xue ordered: "Prepare some breakfast."

"Yes." The servant answered and left. After a while, a rich breakfast was presented to everyone. There were hot steamed buns, fragrant soy milk, fresh eggs, and various side dishes and snacks.

Each dish is prepared very delicately, which makes people's appetite increase.

Shangguan Ziling felt very happy when she saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table.

She couldn't wait to start enjoying it, and she praised every dish.

Beichen Xue also looked at her daughter with a smile, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction.

"Mom, what is the North like?" Shangguan Ziling asked curiously while eating.

Beichenxue smiled and replied, "In the north, the temperature is very low, and it snows heavily all year round. The scenery there is very beautiful."

Shangguan Ziling was filled with longing after listening to her mother's description. She imagined the snowy scene in the north, as if she were already in that world of ice and snow.

Shangguan Ziling was full and asked the servants to clean up the table.

Shangguan Zirun's steps were brisk and steady. He was wearing a brocade robe, and his sleeves fluttered gently in the breeze. He had a handsome face, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He had just returned from the court, and when he heard that his sister Shangguan Ziling was visiting, he couldn't wait to rush back.

When he walked into the yard, he saw his mother Beichen Xue and his sister Shangguan Ziling sitting at the stone table, chatting and laughing.

There were some exquisite tea sets and snacks on the stone table, and the two seemed to be enjoying a quiet time.

Shangguan Zirun said softly: "Mother, sister, what are you talking about? I heard your laughter outside." His voice was gentle and kind.

Shangguan Ziling smiled happily when she saw her brother coming back. She said, "Brother, you're back! We were talking about the North Country. After my eldest brother gets married, I'll go back to the North Country with my mother." Her words were full of anticipation and excitement, as if she couldn't wait to set foot on the land of the North Country.

Beichen Xue also looked at her son with a smile, her eyes sparkling with maternal love.

After hearing what her sister said, Shangguan Zirun also said, "The North?" Shangguan Zirun also wanted to see her mother's family.

"Yeah, by the way, where's Daddy?"

Shangguan Zirun said: "After the court session, the emperor asked some ministers to go to the imperial study to discuss matters."

"Oh!"

The three of them sat around the stone table and continued to chat about interesting things in the North and future plans.

Their laughter echoed in the courtyard, filled with warmth and happiness.
