Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongde said angrily:
"The second girl from the Rensi family hasn't even married you yet, and look at what you've accomplished!
Right now, quickly settle the Huaizhou issue so I can choose a good day for you to get married!"
When Qi Moli heard about the marriage, his eyes moved slightly and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
When He Wenqin heard the two mention the Princess of Anping, he suggested:
"Your Majesty, from Huaizhou to Jianzhou, I'm afraid there are many victims along the way. It would be fine if there were no epidemics.
If there is, it will be an overwhelming disaster!
To prevent the spread of the disease, I'm afraid the county lord will have to take action!"
Emperor Chongde nodded, looked at Qi Moli who was pretending to sleep with his head tilted, and said:
"In that case, Lord He, you will serve as the imperial envoy and take the girl from the Si family with you to head north to Huaizhou!
Jia Wensheng, as the prefect of Jianghuai, actually caused such a disaster. He should be investigated and punished!
If any county government official acts cunningly or slyly, they will be guilty of the same crime as Jia Wensheng!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Moli stopped dozing off in his chair and rolled his eyes, saying:
"Why are you asking my Xingxing to go again? Are all those imperial doctors you employ just sitting around eating for free?
Those medicinal materials and finished medicines outside the city were all taken from my Xingxing Shop!
My Xingxing is a beautiful and kind-hearted person. She has donated money, manpower and effort, but I haven't heard you praise her at all!
This job is too hard, if we don’t go, whoever wants to go will just go to sleep.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongde picked up a book nearby and threw it at the unworthy Old Nine, cursing angrily:
"How could I not know that you are such a narrow-minded person?
Can't you wait for her to finish this matter and come back, and then I will give her another reward?
"You are such a jerk! Get out of here!"
Qi Moli had secured benefits for his little girl, and he didn't mind the emperor's curse. He sat up straight and said solemnly:
"In addition, we need to draw food and herbs from the surrounding prefectures to alleviate the urgent needs of the villagers in Huaizhou!"
The three people in the South Study discussed for more than an hour before they finished.
It was finally decided that on the morning of the next day, He Wenqin and Si Jinxing, along with several imperial physicians from the capital, would set off for the north.
Qi and He left the palace together.
Qi Moli suddenly stopped, clasped his fists towards He Wenqin, and said:
"The county lady is still young. Please take good care of her along the way."
Whenever I think about letting that little girl leave Beijing and go to a place so far away, I feel upset.
He really wanted to accompany her to Huaibei, but because of Han Lan's intelligence about sending troops, he had to stay in the capital to train his troops and be on high alert, ready to send troops at any time!
He Wenqin was used to seeing the cold Ninth Prince, but had he ever seen him so humble?
He even gave him a bow as a subject?
He was a little uncomfortable for a moment, but then he remembered that the county lady and his daughter got along very well, so he waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Princess Anping and my little daughter have a very close relationship. I will take good care of her!
Once things are done, I will bring him back safely!"
Qi Moli nodded, said goodbye to He Wenqin, then turned around, mounted his green-maned horse, and galloped towards Xuanwu Gate!
The night was pitch black, as if endless thick ink was poured heavily on the sky, without even the glimmer of a star!
Heyang Street, Prince Rui’s Mansion.
Si Jinyue wore a light pink dress and walked out of the gate of Cuijing Pavilion.
She reached out to adjust her neatly combed hair, pulled the collar down a little, and asked:
"Have you found out everything? Did the prince go to any courtyard tonight?"
Chunzhi, who was leading the way with a lantern, heard this and quickly responded:
"Changsheng in the prince's courtyard said it himself. After the prince returned home today, he has not left Juran Hall."
Si Jinyue nodded, and with Chunyu's support, she crossed a moon gate, turned around the corridor, and arrived at Qi Nanyue's Ju Ran Hall.
Yuan Qing, the guard standing outside the door, stepped forward when he saw someone entering the courtyard.
In the dim candlelight, he saw the white neck of the visitor, lowered his head quickly, and said expressionlessly:
"Princess, please stay. The prince is meeting guests in his room.
How about you go back first, and I'll tell His Majesty that the princess has been here?"
Seeing this, Chunzhi couldn't help but say:
"What do you mean by this?
How dare you, a servant in the palace, make decisions on behalf of the prince and drive away the princess?!"
Seeing that Yuan Qing still had no expression on his face, Si Jinyue knew that the servants in this mansion were all mean people who fawned on the powerful and looked down on the weak!
Seeing that she is out of favor now, they even dare to give her the cold shoulder!
She secretly suppressed the anger in her heart, turned to look at Chunzhi, and scolded lightly:
"Stop talking! The prince must be busy with something important. In that case, let's go back."
Chunzhi wanted to say something else, but was frightened by Si Jinyue's look and forced herself to swallow the words back.
Si Jinyue took the food box from Chunyu, handed it to Yuanqing, and said with a smile:
"This is the lotus seed and red date soup I personally made for His Highness. Your Highness has been up so late, so please don't go hungry when you rest later.
Please, Master Yuanqing, serve it to His Majesty in a moment and eat it while it's hot."
Seeing this, Yuan Qing didn't say anything and took the food box.
Si Jinyue glanced at the window where the candle was lit, then turned and walked out of the yard.
But just as she took two steps, she heard a creak and the door was opened.
She turned around in surprise and saw a woman walking out of the room.
She was wearing a red dress, with her black hair loose behind her.
The autumn wind blew, her black hair fluttered, revealing her beautiful face.
Her rosy face and a pair of captivating almond-shaped eyes make her even more charming like a young woman with every frown and smile!
