A few days later, Concubine Zhuang came to visit Yonghe Palace.
The palace servants brought in eight boxes of jewels, which Concubine Zhuang had picked from her own treasure trove.
The finale was a huge screen carried by several palace servants and covered with a layer of red silk.
Ning Wanyin had heard that she had been to Xianfu Palace, so she was not surprised that she came to see her.
But what is this thing covered with red silk?
Concubine Zhuang was not very confident about the advice Wei Yingya gave her, but when she thought about it, she realized that they were the people closest to Ning Wanyin, and this must be true, so she immediately became confident.
He personally uncovered the silk cloth and said, "Concubine Chen, this is for you!"
The silk cloth falls——
It was a huge Sichuan brocade screen, with a sentence embroidered in gold thread on the white brocade:
The pearl presented to the palace, the guardian star of everyone, Ning Wanyin:
Solve cases like a god and keep the area safe!
Eliminate harm for the people and protect the peace of the six palaces!
April 16, the seventh year of Yanchang.
This row of large, gold-embroidered characters is big and shiny.
Ning Wanyin was silent for a moment: What is this?
Concubine Zhuang felt that she was definitely not wrong.
The strange thing that Wei Yingya mentioned was called a "brocade banner". It had words embroidered on the cloth and could be hung in the house for everyone to see.
Although the screen cannot be hung, it can be placed just the same.
That’s right!
Moreover, the words above were all the ones Wei Yingya mentioned as examples, so it was even more impossible that they were wrong.
"This is the best Shu brocade that our queen specially selected, with the brightest gold thread, and she ordered the best embroiderer to make it!" Madam Ping smiled:
"I hope the Empress Chen will like it."
Ning Wanyin: ??? This thing is really weird.
But seeing Concubine Zhuang trying so hard to express her gratitude, Ning Wanyin naturally would not refuse her kindness, and smiled gently:
"Thank you, Concubine Zhuang."
Concubine Zhuang saw her smile, so she was completely relieved. Wei Yingya was right, Ning Wanyin would really like it!
I'll go ask her relatives and friends about her preferences first. I'm really smart.
Concubine Zhuang did not stay long and left after giving the gift.
She still didn't like the emperor's concubines, but the Xianfu Palace was really fun...
After Concubine Zhuang left.
Lian Rui walked around the strange screen and said, "Master, where should I put this screen?"
"Please ask the imperial physician to come and check it. If there's nothing wrong, put it in the warehouse." Ning Wanyin looked at the screen and felt deeply amazed.
Although Ning Wanyin put the screen away, the news that Concubine Zhuang had given such a magical gift naturally spread throughout the six palaces very quickly.
Everyone was amazed.
By the end of April, the continuous rain not only did not stop, but it became heavier and heavier, with heavy rain pouring down.
The houses of some people in the capital were washed away by heavy rain, and a drainage canal burst, destroying many houses and flooding most of the capital, causing many casualties.
The emperor immediately sent ministers to provide disaster relief and treat the people.
"Master, don't worry. Madam knows you are worried about her, so she sent someone to deliver a message early in the morning saying that she is fine and safe. Our spies outside also reported that although two houses collapsed in the Earl's Mansion, there were no casualties. The mansion was flooded with calf-deep water, but Madam has moved to the attic, so she is fine for the time being." Lian Rui hurried in to report.
"Your Majesty sent people to provide disaster relief immediately. The situation in the capital is currently stable, and no one is taking advantage of the chaos to loot."
If the situation gets chaotic, some people will definitely go to the rich houses to steal food.
The heavy rain destroyed many people's homes...
Naturally, all the food and money were also washed away.
Ning Wanyin is not a saint who sympathizes with the world, but she has always known that only when the country is stable can the family be safe.
Her fine clothes and delicious food were rewards from the emperor and support from the people. She should do her part for the people.
"Your Majesty must be short of money right now." Ning Wanyin pondered.
Ever since the Cen family rebelled, Da Yan and Nan Liang have fought several times...
War is the most expensive thing.
The national treasury has always been tight.
A few days ago, floods broke out in Jiangnan.
The emperor just sent the Minister of Works to Jiangnan to help with flood control and disaster relief, bringing with him relief money from the national treasury...
Ning Wanyin thought about it carefully.
Make sure your plan is just a good deed, not a political intervention...
Then he stood up and said, "Let's go to Ganxin Palace."
The drainage in the palace was very good, so there wasn't any deep water accumulation, but the rain was so heavy that it was like a torrential rain, and it was no different whether the umbrella was open or not.
When Ning Wanyin arrived at Ganxin Palace, most of her clothes were wet.
Helian Qi had just called together court officials to discuss disaster relief...
His face looked a little tired.
But when Ning Wanyin asked for a meeting, he immediately regained his usual calm and composed self.
"It's raining so hard, Wanwan came to see me. Is there something important?" Helian Qi asked, thinking that something had happened in the harem.
He then ordered, "Give the Concubine Chen hot tea and give her my cloak."
The palace maid quickly brought hot tea to warm Ning Wanyin's body and put a cloak on her.
Ning Wanyin bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I heard that there was a heavy rain in the capital, and the canal burst its banks..."
She explained it in detail.
There was a hint of light in Helian Qi's eyes. He knew Ning Wanyin was very capable, but he didn't expect that she would have such a trick...
The two discussed for a while and reached a consensus.
At this moment, Wang Degui came in quickly to report:
"Your Majesty, Consort Hui requests to see you. She said she has something urgent to report."
Helian Qi paused for a moment and said, "Let her in."
When Xiao Yunyao entered Ganxin Hall, she immediately saw Ning Wanyin, who was wearing a dragon-patterned cloak and sitting next to the emperor, holding a cup of hot tea.
It seems that she and I had the same idea, both came here because of the heavy rain and the breach of the dam.
