Chapter 936 What’s the matter?
"Then I'll go back, future princess."
Xiao Chen let go of Xie Ying. He shouldn't stay for long. After all, things were different now and he couldn't be willful anymore.
Xie Ying nodded, "Yeah."
"Rest early, listen to the doctor's advice, and get better soon."
“I’m actually getting a lot better.”
"Don't worry, the emperor and I have asked for a lot of leave for you, it's okay."
Xie Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If I take a break, others will do more work..."
"I'll ask Luo Feng to help with it. As long as it's not a confidential document, Luo Feng can do it."
Xie Ying nodded, "Okay."
Although working in the government office is quite tiring every day, it is better than being bored at home. She now understands that although it is hard work for men to work, it is still spiritually enriching.
And these women just seem to be wasting their time in the house without any worries.
This kind of carefreeness is actually depressing, because the future can be seen at a glance.
After Xiao Chen left.
Mingzhu then came into the room and said, "When his highness the Prince Chen left, he insisted on giving me this." As she spoke, Mingzhu took out a golden mule.
Xie Ying looked at the golden mule, then at Mingzhu, "You made money."
Mingzhu blushed, "Your Highness Prince Chen is so polite. He always gives me so much without thinking. I really can't bear it..."
"No, you can afford it." Xie Ying said with a smile, "Keep it. When you find a good husband in the future, I will give you more dowry."
Mingzhu was stunned, frowning and said, "That won't work. I won't marry anyone. I will only follow the eldest lady in my life. If you marry His Royal Highness Prince Chen, I will be your personal maid."
"You're never going to get married?"
"Don't marry."
Xie Ying thought of Mingzhu's previous life, when she was also unmarried. She also believed that Xiao Chen rewarded her differently from others and gave her so much because he saw how loyal Mingzhu was to her in the illusion.
"Pearl."
Xie Ying hugged Mingzhu and said, "A person's life may seem long, but it is also very short. I hope you can find your own happiness in the future."
Mingzhu was confused by Xie Ying's sudden action. She hugged Xie Ying back and said, "Sister, I think being able to follow you is Mingzhu's greatest happiness. Following you, I have enough food and warm clothes, and no one dares to bully me."
"From now on, when you become the Princess of Chen, no one will dare to bully me."
Xie Ying smiled, "Silly, you're just thinking about bullying or not." "I don't care, you must choose carefully. If you don't choose carefully, I will choose for you in the future."
"Then sister, please choose for me." Mingzhu raised her head and looked at Xie Ying's grinning face.
Xie Ying was also amused by her, "I will definitely pick a good one for you."
"Ah."
The snow outside was getting heavier. Mingzhu left the window open and said to Xie Ying, "Sister, please get ready. It's getting late."
----
The snow had been falling intermittently for four or five days, and the snow had accumulated heavily, so he had not attended court for three days.
Xiao Yao also had a rare few days of peace and quiet, but she knew that under the heavy snow, some people would definitely suffer.
Seeing that the snow situation was not right, he summoned Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu over.
The floor heating in the imperial study was burning very strongly. After Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu entered, they both broke out in a sweat.
Xiao Yao said: "Since it's so hot, then take off your outer robe."
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
Xiao Yao: “…”
Although men and women served in the same court, it might be inappropriate for her to take off her clothes in her imperial study.
but……
"Tang An."
Not long after he finished speaking, Tang An came in holding a whisk, "Your Majesty."
"Take the two adults and change into two thin clothes."
"Yes."
Tang An had no choice but to lead the two of them downstairs.
Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu knelt down and paid their respects, then left. About an incense stick later, Tang An came back with the two of them.
They also wore heavy official robes.
Tang An said: "It's cold outside, so..."
Xiao Yao knew of course, so she asked, "Can I take it off now?"
Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu's foreheads were covered with sweat again. They walked behind the screen and took off their outer robes, revealing the light and thin coats underneath.
At this moment, Xiao Yao finally felt pleased to see them.
Xiao Yao first asked Jian Wu to report the recent findings, including the snow accumulation in the community and the disaster situation.
Jian Wu reported everything he saw and heard.
Xiao Yao nodded, "Sure enough, it's Jinzhou again..."
Every winter in Jinzhou, many people would freeze to death.
"Continue to investigate." Xiao Yao waved to Jian Wu.
Jian Wu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Afterwards, Jian Wu went behind the screen again. When he was about to change his thin clothes, Tang An stopped him, "Oh, Master Jian Wu, who can wear what you have worn?"
"Then this..."
"It was given by the Emperor. Even though it's black, the quality is not bad. I can wear it in spring and summer."
Jian Wu was excited. The clothes the emperor gave him...
"Well, thank you, Eunuch Tang."
"You're welcome." Tang An smiled and left the imperial study with Jian Wu.
In the imperial study room.
Xiao Yao and Zhang Zhao were still discussing disaster relief in Jinzhou. "I have ordered the governor of Jinzhou to actively participate in disaster relief, but I am still worried that there are too many people to take care of. Would you be willing to go?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
Xiao Yao nodded. "In this life and death situation, men and women are more likely to be treated differently. Do you know what to do?"
"I know that it must be fair and just, and no one will be allowed to persecute the weak, even if they are their relatives."
"well."
Xiao Yao liked Zhang Zhao more and more. He never messed up any task she gave him.
The moment Zhang Zhao raised his eyes, he saw the emperor's gorgeous face. He lowered his head in fear. He must not let Xie Yunchu doubt him again.
The two discussed the details for a while before Zhang Zhao left the imperial study.
When he walked out, he saw Xie Yunchu, wearing a fox fur cloak, bringing him a bowl of soup.
He cupped his hands, "Thank you, sir."
He lowered his head. Although he was summoned by the emperor, he felt as if he had been caught by Xie Yunchu. He felt uneasy.
Xie Yunchu said "hmm" and walked into the imperial study.
He had just heard from Chujiu that Tang An took Zhang Zhao and Jian Wu to change into thin clothes to wear under their official robes, and when it got hot, they took off their outer robes...
When Xiao Yao saw Xie Yunchu, she immediately stood up and came over to greet him, "My husband is so virtuous and dotes on me, it makes me feel distressed."
"I just came back from the Duke's Mansion." Xie Yunchu said lightly, then took out the bird's nest and began to feed her.
"Don't tell me about this kind of thing."
"I didn't need to tell you, but I learned something from Aying."
Xiao Yao was interested. "What's the matter?"
"You haven't forgotten that Aying broke off the engagement before, right?"
Xiao Yao smiled. How could she forget such a big thing? "The wedding is less than two months away. Will Ah Ying regret it again?"
"No." Xie Yunchu said, "Eat the bird's nest first."
Xiao Yao ate the bird's nest he fed her with a big mouthful. "Well, now continue talking."
