Chapter four hundred and fifty fifth blind date

Three days later, Renshou Palace.

Zhu Xu was wrapped in a thick blanket and surrounded by a group of women.

Concubine Liu, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Princess Ping, Princess Jing, and a little girl, Princess Yongning.

Zhu Xu held a bowl of ginger soup, his face was a little pale, but his head hurt even more because Concubine Liu and Empress Dowager Zhang planned to arrange a woman for Jingyang Palace to take care of his daily life.

For Zhu Xu, who is used to being single or hiding countless secrets, he does not want anyone to intervene, at least for now.

But these people had no intention of listening to him, especially Empress Dowager Zhang's attitude was very firm, which made Zhu Xu unable to refute it.

Concubine Liu looked at Princess Ping with a smile and said, "Tell me about the lady you just mentioned. People in the Emperor's palace must be well-educated, generous and gentle."

Zhu Xu grinned as he heard this. He just found someone to take care of his daily life, but now he is directly "a person from the palace".

While drinking ginger soup, he signaled to Queen Mother Zhang with his eyes.

Empress Dowager Zhang held Xiao Yongning in her arms, but she didn't even look at him, and looked at Princess Ping with a smile on her face.

Princess Ping is in her early thirties and looks a little rich and charming. She glanced at Zhu Xu, who had been unable to talk to her, and said with a smile: "Go back to the concubine, she is my niece, well-educated and gentle. The most important thing is that she has experienced things, not the kind of lady who knows nothing. She is by the emperor and can help with anything..."

The old concubine nodded straight after hearing this, obviously very satisfied with what Princess Ping said.

Empress Dowager Zhang also smiled and said, "Now the emperor only has some eunuchs around him. Do you really need a girl, princess, and people enter the palace?"

Zhu Xu browed when he heard this. This was the rhythm that he wanted to arrange today. He looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said with a kind smile: "Sister-in-law, my health is almost good, so don't rush for a moment..."

Empress Dowager Zhang ignored Zhu Xu at all and looked at Princess Ping with a smile.

Zhu Xu is too familiar with this kind of look. Isn’t it just the mother’s enthusiasm for arranging a blind date for her son?

Princess Ping glanced at Zhu Xu and said with a smile: "Here I'm here, I'll bring it in now."

Princess Ping said and stood up and walked outside.

Zhu Xu twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to drink ginger soup, even if the bowl was empty.

Not long after, he walked in with a white silk skirt, long hair and pretty face, and a beautiful woman with a decade of beauty.

Wang Yuyang was nervous. She was a famous genius in Shuntian Prefecture, and she was also nervous at this moment.

This was arranged by her aunt for her, not a blind date, but what she had to face was the concubine, the queen mother, and the wise and powerful emperor!

In recent years, the court has been in constant wars and good news, so the credit is naturally His Majesty’s. Especially after the court reports, Zhu Xu almost became a god!

Wang Yuyang was very nervous, but his face was as calm as usual, and followed Princess Ping in.

The eyes were filled with white hair on a big chair. This was the old concubine, who had seen her. Then there was the young man who was holding a child, sitting on the left head of the old concubine, wrapped in a blanket and a pale face.

Wang Yuyang's heart was as bright as a mirror, bent down gently, and saluted: "The young lady has met the emperor, the concubine, and the queen mother."

Zhu Xu also looked at him and nodded secretly. Ninety points were enough, and his resistance in his heart became much weaker.

The old concubine looked up and down, then waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, good boy, come here and let me see."

Wang Yuyang pursed his lips and glanced at Princess Ping.

Princess Ping smiled, pulled her forward, stood beside the old lady and said, "Tao Concubine, this child has never entered the palace, don't scare her."

The old concubine didn't care about Princess Ping's words, so she pulled Wang Yuyang to her side, nodded constantly and said, "It's not bad, come on, have a piece of pastry."

"I want to eat too." Suddenly, Xiao Yongning, who had not spoken, ran to the old concubine, stared at the pastries on the plate with big black eyes and her little mouth was shivering.

The old concubine was stunned, then took one and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

The little guy took the pastry, bit his mouth, but his big eyes stared at Wang Yuyang.

Wang Yuyang knew that this should be the only little princess in the palace, with a smile on her lips, neither humble nor arrogant.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't let Xiao Yongning make trouble, so she hurriedly pulled him over and smiled at Wang Yuyang, "Come back quickly, there are few outsiders in the palace, Yongning is probably a little curious."

The little guy stepped back while staring at Wang Yuyang.

Zhu Xu had a headache. These people clearly wanted to force Wang Yuyang to him, but Wang Yuyang was indeed very beautiful.

Just as Zhu Xu was about to accept it with 'reluctant', Xiao Yongning suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Sister, are you going to be the concubine of the emperor? Will you stay in the palace? Will you have a bridal chamber tonight..."

Zhu Xu's mouth twitched. Shouldn't you talk about such things in front of him? How could you talk about the bridal chamber for the first time when you meet on a blind date?

Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly covered the little guy's mouth and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense."

A flash of blush appeared on Wang Yuyang's face. He looked at Zhu Xu not far away, lowered his head, and grabbed his clothes with his hands secretly.

Before she came, Princess Ping had already touched her. As a 20-year-old "old girl", she was still very nervous at this moment.

Xiao Yongning's words made the scene look a little awkward. At this time, Cao Huachun walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Zhu Xu's ear.

Zhu Xu frowned and said nothing.

The old concubine's eyes were turbid, but her heart was bright. She looked at Wang Yuyang and looked at Zhu Xu again and said, "Your Majesty, if you should be busy, just go and go. Tonight, I'll send someone to you."

Zhu Xu's face was stiff, which was the rhythm of forcing him to go to the wedding chamber tonight. He slammed his mouth secretly, and he was not in good health recently...

He stood up, looked at Wang Yuyang, smiled at the old concubine, Empress Dowager Zhang and others, "I still have some things to deal with, so I will say goodbye first."

The most important thing today is to let Zhu Xu meet. As long as he doesn't object, this matter will be done.

The old concubine and Empress Dowager Zhang looked at each other, and both smiled at each other, watching Zhu Xu leave.

Zhu Xu left Renshou Palace, breathed a long sigh, and walked slowly back to Jingyang Palace.

The weather is clear today. When he is sick, it is also the time when heavy rain stops, and it looks like the rain is clear.

Zhu Xu's illness came a bit violent. Perhaps he had never had any illness, or he had "overworked" and he was still very weak, his face was pale, and his legs were weak.

"How is the disaster outside?" Zhu Xu looked at the gentle sunshine that had been missing for a long time and said softly.

Cao Huachun followed and said, "Go back to the emperor, as soon as the heavy rain stopped, the water level began to drop. Now Ge Lao Sun is busy with disaster relief and arranges disaster victims to return."

Zhu Xu nodded silently. This heavy rain was more than a year-on-year drought. The court also spent more than one million taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of stones of food to provide disaster relief, which was impossible in previous years.

Zhu Xu didn't care much about these things. He could still withstand this. He walked and thought, "Is there any report in Shaanxi?"

Cao Huachun thought for a while and organized a speech: "Mr. Sun and Master Bi jointly reported that the chaos in Shaanxi and western China had been plowed, and the imperial army plowed the courtyard and swept the caves, and the various places had been pacified. The silver and grain for disaster relief had been distributed to all places, and the people's conditions were stable. In addition, Master Sun asked for an order to implement the law of implication in Gansu, Shaanxi, Xi, Ningxia, Qinghai, Sichuan, Hu, Guang, Yunnan, and sent special soldiers to command, supplemented by similar military farming methods. This can not only curb the chaos in the people, but also increase the farming area and provide grain production..."

Zhu Xu listened, without saying anything, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Methods are good methods, but the most important thing is people. If you use people improperly, it will not only fail to achieve the expected results, but will instead lead to greater disasters.

The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated in two months. Zhu Xu walked to the gate of Jingyang Palace before he slowly said: "Transfer the order to Shaanxi and Xi, and ordered Sun Chuanting and Bi Ziyan to approve what they reported. At the same time, special academies are established in various provinces to train people in Baojia Law and the military farming law. We must ensure that these people are honest and reliable, and we must conduct regular visits, rotate, supervise and verify..."

Cao Huachun responded and remembered quietly.

As he said that, Zhu Xu came to the imperial study room, and Fu Changzong was already waiting.

Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu's pale face and knew that Zhu Xu had been sleeping all the time and did not want to disturb him, but Zhu Xu knew about this.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chaise and said with a smile: "Come here, bring a chair for my uncle and sit down and say."

Fu Changzong knew that he could not stay for more, so he spoke directly: "Your Majesty, about the 'Nine Hundred Acres of Taxed Grain'... more than half a year... there was no effect."
