The autumn rain is getting heavier, and the rustling sound makes people feel melancholy.

In the back garden of the Dieyi Palace in the imperial city of Shangjing, Yu Wenyun was sitting alone in the Xiuchun Pavilion.

Fine raindrops fell from the eaves of Xiuchun Pavilion like a curtain, which did not block her sight, but only made the autumn rain outside the curtain even more hazy.

The flowers from the osmanthus tree fell to the ground, turning it into a fine yellow. However, the cluster of banana trees at the foot of the wall became greener after being washed by the autumn rain.

The chrysanthemum garden is a bit far from here, and I think the flowers there will be more colorful, but I don’t know how many will fall.

The autumn wind blew the rain through the rain curtain on the pavilion eaves, falling on her hair and face, and wetting her dress. However, she was unaware of it, and was worried about her third sister and thinking about Fu Xiaoguan.

The third sister Yu Qinglan said that she longed for life outside the Great Wall and wanted to visit the grassland. If she could spread the etiquette of Dayu to the grassland, it would be a great favor from her father.

But what about Huo Huaijin?

When Yu Wenjun asked, Yu Qinglan smiled calmly, "Huai Jin... already knows."

The third sister was worried. Yu Wenjun felt that he could see it in her eyes. She was forcing a smile, and her heart was probably colder than the autumn rain.

So, what is the secret behind this?

She had already asked her mother. Imperial Concubine Shang was stewing a bowl of ginseng soup and said, "After your third sister left, Imperial Concubine Ning's place, you should visit her often when you have time."

She thought of Fu Xiaoguan again. Now, news has been sent back from the north and south of the Yellow River. The problem of corruption in disaster relief is extremely serious. The two imperial envoys have arrested dozens of people, from prefects to county magistrates, and this is just the beginning!

The court was shocked and His Majesty was furious!

"Bring them all back to the capital, and I will chop them into pieces!"

This seriously affected the interests of some people in the court, so afterwards, the revenge against Fu Xiaoguan would probably be like a storm.

Or... no wind and no rain.

What should I do?

Otherwise, I will ask my father for an imperial decree to recruit Fu Xiaoguan as a son-in-law. Only in this way can the Fu family be saved before the storm.

Yu Wenyun made up her mind and walked out of Xiuchun Pavilion. A maid held an umbrella for her and she walked into the wind and rain.

…

Imperial study.

The light was a little dim, and Eunuch Jia had already lit the lamp.

Emperor Yu Yin of Dayu was currently sitting behind a dragon-shaped desk, on which lay a stack of essays, all of which were collected from the wall of Lanting Pavilion.

He frowned, leaning against the dragon chair, reading one article after another, but none of them satisfied him.

What was said was nothing more than sending a special commissioner to supervise the distribution of disaster relief food and wages. If there was corruption, the property would be confiscated and the person would be executed. Or, high-ranking officials from the court would be sent to guard the severely affected areas. Or, the provincial governor would be asked to conduct a self-investigation. If there was corruption in the area under his jurisdiction, the provincial governor and the prefect would be held responsible, and so on.

Nothing new and no meaning.

At this time, the eunuch Gou Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the Jingshifang, came in, holding a tray in his hand. He bowed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."

Yu Yin was startled and looked outside, only to find that the sky had darkened.

He waved his hand and said, "Go to Noble Concubine Shang... and ask her to make me a bowl of ginseng soup."

"I obey your order!" Eunuch Gou bowed and left. Yu Yin was about to stand up when he picked up another one and his brows furrowed even tighter.

This handwriting is really ugly. How dare this person write such words to pollute my eyes!

He was very angry. He hadn't found a useful article in the first place, and now there were words like this to upset him, so he wanted to see who this audacious person was.

Fu Xiaoguan?

Fu Xiaoguan!

This name had long entered his ears. The words "establish a mind for heaven and earth and a destiny for the people" were presented to him by Shangguan Wenxiu, and were also the sacred teachings that he personally approved.

Then came A Dream of the Red Chamber, which all the concubines and princesses in the harem read and praised, and so he read it, finding it truly excellent. Furthermore, his poem "Water Melody" was featured in the first row of the Thousand Stele Stones in the Mid-Autumn Lanting Collection, which further enhanced his admiration for Fu Xiaoguan.

He originally thought that this boy was at least a juren, and he even waited for Fu Xiaoguan to come and take part in the autumn examination, but this person was not on the list of the autumn examination.

Now I can see the name, but the characters... Could it be that someone is impersonating Fu Xiaoguan? Or is this Fu Xiaoguan not the same Fu Xiaoguan?

The emperor's face changed several times. Eunuch Jia, who was standing beside him, felt a pang in his heart, wondering if there was something taboo in it.

Impossible. He personally reviewed every article in it, and except for one article whose handwriting was truly awful, he didn't hide anything. So, Your Majesty, what is this...

Yu Yin took the paper and forced himself to take a look.

Then the anger on his face disappeared, and he even nodded frequently, then frowned in thought, and finally let it go gently.

He looked outside the door again. The autumn rain was falling and his thoughts were complicated.

After a long time, he picked up the paper again and read it carefully again. There seemed to be some confusion on his face. Eunuch Jia understood that some young man had good luck, and this policy paper might be to the taste of His Majesty.

Yu Yin thought for a moment, put the paper into his arms, stood up, and said, "Let's go to Dieyi Palace!"

The ginseng soup cooked by Concubine Shang in Dieyi Palace was delicious. She looked back and saw Yu Wenjun still sitting there with her face supported and her mouth pouting.

"Your father is coming soon, why don't you go back?"

"I just want to see the emperor. As long as the emperor issues an imperial decree, Fu Xiaoguan and his family will be fine."

Concubine Shang laughed and said, "Mother knows the situation well. You go back first."

"Mother, if anything happens to Fu Xiaoguan... I will die!"

Yu Yin just walked in with a smile on his face.

"My Ninth Princess is here too. What's wrong? What happened to Fu Xiaoguan?"

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects to me." Yu Wenjun quickly knelt down, but Yu Yin was amused. "It's a rare opportunity for you to kneel before me. Tell me, do you have anything else to ask of me?"

Yu Wenjun pursed her lips, raised her head and said, "This humble servant wants your father to issue an imperial decree to recruit that young official Fu as your consort!"

Yu Yin burst into laughter, and Concubine Shang also brought ginseng soup to Yu Yin with a smile on her face.

"What's so funny about this?" Yu Wenjun blushed.

Yu Yin sat down, looked at his daughter, and said, "Get up. If you had mentioned this to me before, I would have definitely agreed, but not now."

Yu Wenjun was stunned, "Why?"

"Because I want to use him."

Yu Wenjun opened his mouth in astonishment. Even Concubine Shang was very confused. Why did His Majesty suddenly want to use Fu Xiaoguan?

Yu Yin took out the paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Wenjun, asking, "Take a look, is this his handwriting?"

Yu Wenyun took a look and said, yes, it is the only one in the world, absolutely genuine.

A good plan for disaster relief - No, isn't he in Linjiang? Where did your father get this plan?

"He is in the capital. This thing is posted in the Lanting Pavilion. I was deeply moved after seeing it, but I also have many questions. I want to meet this person."

Fu Xiaoguan came to Beijing?

Yu Wenyun was overjoyed. Fu Xiaoguan would definitely go to Dong Shulan if he couldn't enter the palace in Shangjing, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Good night, father and mother!"
