Chapter 287: Telepathy
Disaster relief is like putting out a fire, and it cannot be delayed.
At the next morning court session, all the civil and military officials were discussing disaster relief, how to provide relief and who should be in charge of it.
Just like in the previous life, the people of Prince Yu and Prince Qi recommended their own people to provide disaster relief.
On the Prince of Yu's side is the Marquis of Yongcheng, and on the Prince of Qi's side is the third master of the Marquis of Changping's mansion, both of whom are people he trusts very much.
The two sides were arguing fiercely.
But just when the emperor was about to decide on the candidate, Yongcheng Marquis of Yu Dynasty shook his head. Poor Yongcheng Marquis had already stepped out of the line, and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
In the hall, in front of all the civil and military officials and the emperor, Marquis Yongcheng could not ask Prince Yu why he did not let him take on this job.
Marquis Changping had just recommended his younger brother when Marquis Yongcheng did not step forward. The people of Prince Yu's party saw Marquis Yongcheng step forward and then retreat. Marquis Yongcheng did not continue to fight, so they were sure that they could not get promoted. They all looked at each other, not understanding the situation.
No one argued, so the emperor said, "This time, the disaster relief will be in the charge of Lord Ye."
Almost instantly, the King of Qi's face turned green.
His expression changed so quickly that Prince Yu saw it clearly. He was originally worried whether Xie Guimo's information was wrong, but when he saw Prince Qi's expression, which showed no sign of joy at getting the job, he knew something was obviously wrong. He was afraid that there might be a trap waiting for him as Xie Guimo reminded him.
The first priority of today's morning court was disaster relief. After that, some details and other matters were discussed, and then the court was adjourned.
After leaving the Council Hall, Marquis Yongcheng went to Prince Yu and asked, "You were about to win it, why did you suddenly give up?"
Prince Yu asked, "Uncle, didn't you notice that Prince Qi and Marquis Changping looked strange?"
Marquis Yongcheng had no time to look at their expressions, but when he thought about it carefully, Marquis Changping's expression was indeed not very good when he came out just now.
Yongcheng Hou asked, "What's wrong?"
Prince Yu said, "Prince Qi doesn't really want to fight for the disaster relief job, he wants to provoke me to compete with him."
Yongcheng Hou was shocked, "How is this possible?"
Prince Yu said, "My feeling is not wrong. I am also afraid that if my uncle goes to Xuzhou or Changzhou to provide disaster relief, and something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
"It's not too late to make achievements later, uncle can't make any mistakes."
Originally, Marquis Yongcheng was still feeling unwilling that this meritorious task was snatched away by the Prince of Qi, but Prince Yu's words warmed his heart.
For Prince Yu, he was willing to give up his life.
…
As for Chen Tang, she made the old lady sick yesterday because of the greetings. The princess also asked her to pay her respects to the old lady every few days to avoid giving her a chance to be criticized.
Chen Tang got up early again, had breakfast, and took Ginkgo to Wutong Courtyard.
But it was a wasted trip. The old lady's body, which had recovered with great difficulty, fell ill again due to anger.
As for the others, Mother Wu sent a maid to greet them in the morning, but the old lady exempted them from paying their respects. Because Shen Tang had not been there these days, she did not send a maid to tell Shen Tang, and then Shen Tang was turned away.
However, Chen Tang would rather be turned away than let the old lady in. Since she refused to see her, Chen Tang stood in the yard, bowed towards the inner room where the old lady lived, and left with Ginkgo.
He strolled over to pay his respects to the princess, sat for a quarter of an hour, and then returned to Chenxiangxuan.
With nothing to do, Si'er did needlework to pass the time. She went out and bought some crabapple cakes that Chen Tang liked to eat. Chen Tang sent them to the study for Xie Guimo to taste.
Xie Guimo was reading a book. When he saw Chen Tang come in, he closed the book and said, "You are so in tune with each other."
Chen Tang asked, "What do you mean by telepathic?"
Xie Guimo stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Tang to sit in his arms, "I was just thinking about asking you to grind ink for me, and you came over."
Knowing that Xie Guimo liked to hug Chen Tang, Gingko quickly put down the pastries when she came in, then left and closed the door.
This guy really likes her to grind ink for him. Chen Tang took a piece of cake and handed it to Xie Guimo's mouth, "This Begonia cake tastes good, you try it."
Xie Guimo didn’t really like sweets, but since Chen Tang handed it to him, he had to give him face. He smiled and said, “Let’s eat together.”
She had just eaten.
Just as Chen Tang was about to speak, Xie Guimo bit the pastry she handed to him and brought it to her mouth.
Chen Tang, "..."
This bastard!
You can even taste flowers when eating cakes.
Even though we have been intimate many times, I still can't resist it.
After being kissed until his whole body went limp, Chen Tang regretted sending him cakes. Fortunately, when he was about to do something stupid, there was a knock on the door and the servant's voice came, "My Lord, someone has sent you an invitation."
"Send it in."
When the servant pushed the door open and entered the room, Chen Tang was already standing far away.
The servant handed the invitation to Xie Guimo, who took it, opened it and took a look at it, then frowned.
When Chen Tang saw it, he asked, "Who sent the post?"
"Prince Yu."
Chen Tang said, “Why are you frowning at the invitation sent by Prince Yu?”
Xie Guimo said, "I have a wife, and I don't like leaving my wife alone to eat with him every day."
Chen Tang, "..."
If Prince Yu knew that he was rejected even after inviting guests to dinner, he would be so angry that he would die.
However, Chen Tang knew Xie Guimo's personality, and he would say the same thing even in front of Prince Yu.
Xie Guimo knew why Prince Yu wanted to talk to him about this. Although he listened to him and asked Prince Qi's men to provide disaster relief, he definitely wanted to find out why he asked him to give up.
He has eaten many meals with Prince Yu these days. He used to eat with Chu Yi and others frequently, and even had two meals a day at Deyue Tower, but they were not married at that time.
Xie Guimo threw the post on the desk in disdain, and Chen Tang said, "It seems that Prince Yu likes to get along with you."
Although there are many brothers and sisters in the royal family, family affection is the weakest. Xie Guimo, Chu Yi and Xiao Xun are not biological brothers, but their relationship is closer than that of biological brothers. Prince Yu must be yearning for it.
Besides, the invitation from Prince Yu has been delivered, so it would be bad not to go.
Chen Tang said, "Go quickly, don't keep Prince Yu waiting for too long."
Seeing Xie Guimo sitting still, Shen Tang pulled him up. Xie Guimo bit Shen Tang's lips in dissatisfaction. Shen Tang felt pain and was about to get angry with him when there was a knock on the window.
Shen Tang was thankful that the secret guards didn't have the habit of coming in without knocking on the window, otherwise it would have been awkward.
Chen Tang glared at Xie Guimo, and Xie Guimo sat up straight before saying, "Come in."
The secret guard jumped in through the window and reported, "Master, the Crown Princess guessed correctly, there is something wrong with Young Master Qian..."
Shen Tang was stunned when he heard this.
She suspected that there was something wrong with Young Master Qian, and she also knew that Xie Guimo had sent people to investigate him, but wasn't this investigation a little too quick? I just started checking yesterday...
Chen Tang was shocked at Xie Guimo's ability to do things. Xie Guimo had already asked, "Young Master Qian was bribed by King Qi?"
The secret guard hesitated for a moment before replying, "It can't be considered bribery. Young Master Qian was set up and lost almost all of the Qian family's money. The man behind the gambling house is Marquis Changping."
