Chapter 206 Imperial Envoy
"Yingying, I'm telling you, why did you make your mother angry again? Can't you just behave yourself?"
Ji Yingying glared at the Emperor through gritted teeth.
"If it weren't for you, you old idiot, would I be in this situation? I finally managed to coax my parents out on a date, and what did I get? One sentence from you, and I got beaten up. Don't even think about making me do any work. I'm dead."
emperor:…………
"Your Highness, a snow disaster has occurred in the north. A report was sent by express courier, and many people have been killed by the snow."
"Yes, Lord Ji, what do you think we should do?"
"How should we handle this? You officials don't even bother asking me, someone who hasn't had much schooling? How can you be so shameless?"
The way they were being spoken of so openly made everyone's expressions turn sour.
"Yingying, it's not that you're too clever; I'm asking you to think of a solution." The Crown Prince spoke up. Although the court officials were capable, they couldn't compare to Ji Yingying's intellect.
She's quick-witted and has many methods.
"I haven't experienced that!"
[Host, do you really not know how to handle a snow disaster?]
[I don't know much about snow. I'm from the South, and I only saw snow after I grew up and started working, and even then it was just light snow. As for heavy snow, I've only seen a few pictures online. How could I possibly know that much?]
[Now that the heavy snow has probably blocked the roads, by the time the message can be delivered, several people have likely died on the way.]
Your Majesty, Ministers: ...Indeed, several people have died. Ji Yingying's guess was spot on.
There are no snowplows here, and the roads are all muddy, so rescuing people is really difficult.
Moreover, regarding the situation in the north, only one letter arrived, and the reason for the delay was completely unknown.
Don't you have a drone?
Yes, but I can't exactly run there, can I? But that wouldn't save many people.
Ji Yingying really didn't know what to do.
"Yingying, is there really no other way? Didn't we have those drones back in Jiangnan? Could you use them to scout ahead?" The Emperor could only ask tentatively.
Although she said she didn't know what to do, I could tell from the conversation that she had seen it before, but she probably didn't remember the solution.
"Um, is the North far from our capital?"
"It's not far. How about this, Yingying, I appoint you as Imperial Envoy and have the Crown Prince accompany you to handle this snow disaster."
"What?!" Shocked, utterly shocked. To be sent on official business during the Chinese New Year? Are they trying to kill us?
"I think you can handle this task well. Be obedient, and I will give you a two-week leave when you return."
"One month."
"Twenty days, that's the most, no more."
"Okay, then write me a guarantee."
[You even want the Emperor to write a guarantee for you? Doesn't the Emperor have any credibility?]
The boss has no credibility; it's not the first time I've been ripped off. I have to take action.
The Emperor was helpless. He wanted to ask Ji Yingying who had tricked her into this situation, but he was afraid of seeing the Empress Dowager, so he didn't ask.
I wrote her a guarantee, promising to give her twenty days of leave.
With this guarantee, Ji Yingying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will set off with the Crown Prince tomorrow and guarantee to complete the mission."
Ji Yingying walked out with a limp. In fact, the emperor did not want the crown prince to go out with him at all, but none of the ministers could control Ji Yingying!
"Your Highness, keep a close eye on her. Once she's done, come back immediately. Don't let her play outside."
"yes"
The Crown Prince knew that the Emperor was worried about Ji Yingying going out, and was about to take his leave when the Emperor said again, "Take more people with you. Never mind, Yingying will ask you questions later."
They all know Ji Yingying all too well.
"Alright, all of you, step back."
"yes……"
...
Ji Yingying returned home, where Ji Cailiang and Fang Yulan were also present, as were Ji Jiaming and Ji Jiayu.
"Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, you're back?"
"If you don't come back soon, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing the tiles off! Can't you just not go to those places?" Fang Yulan poked her head in exasperation.
Indeed, no one dared to teach this little rascal. Even the one in the palace doted on her. She knew all about it, and when she hit Ji Yingying, the news spread to the palace.
The emperor sent imperial physicians to wait, or even sent someone to personally go to Liu's house to arrest him and bring him into the palace.
If things continue like this, Ji Yingying... will definitely become the little tyrant of the capital, and not only that, she'll be pampered by the whole city.
This girl goes out to watch the drama unfold, and everyone who wants to watch the drama follows her, not only giving her free food and drinks, but also stuffing things into the small shops she passes by.
At Liuxiangju, when she paid earlier, the madam didn't dare to accept the money, saying, "When Your Highness comes to play, they don't charge you."
Look at what you're saying.
“Mother, I’m not climbing walls in the capital anymore, so I’m not removing roof tiles. Also, Mother, the Emperor has ordered me to go north to deal with the snow disaster. I’m leaving tomorrow, so I need to go and write up the plans.”
Ji Yingying turned and ran, afraid that someone would chase her.
Back inside, I grabbed a pen and started writing a plan, looking at the topographical map and thinking about how to handle the situation.
"Oh dear, if only Baidu were here, I could check it out. I really don't know what to do now..."
Half an hour had passed, and she had only managed to write a few words, making a hole in the topographical map.
[Yes, if only we had Baidu, host. Don't you really remember how to handle snowstorms in the past?]
【I don't remember! I really haven't seen snow for many years.】 Ji Yingying had a headache, so she simply gave up and decided to take it one step at a time and see how things went.
"We must bring people. See if we can get a thousand. Low-level games are just shoveling snow, high-level games... never mind, in ancient times a sweater could be worn for three generations, why would we expect high-level games?"
Ji Yingying wrote down the supplies she needed, including grain and down jackets, and immediately had them sent to the palace.
"Rong Er, I need to see these things by tomorrow. If I don't see them, I won't go."
The food should be transferred from nearby areas. We'll see how it goes. The down jackets will be brought from the capital, and that's enough for the thousand soldiers.
It's too far to walk there.
[Xiangxiang, see if there are any big trucks, tricycles, or anything like that.]
[The mall doesn't have them, only bicycles. Host, upgrade your account; maybe upgrading will unlock them.]
Let's talk about it later. Let's finish dealing with this tomorrow.
Ji Yingying was ready to set off tomorrow, but Fang Yulan felt sorry for her and cooked a lot of chicken and duck for her to take with her overnight.
Knowing that she had a storage space that could hold things, I simply handed it to her.
"Take these with you, eat them when you're hungry, and your second brother will come with you too."
Yanni said from the side, "If there's anything, have your second brother run errands. Also, this money is your second sister-in-law's private savings. Donate it all to make things for the disaster victims."
Ji Yingying accepted it.
It's not that I'm being sarcastic, but in this snow-stricken area, there probably aren't many survivors. It's a very low-income situation; survival is quite difficult.
However, she still replied, "Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
