The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Ouyang Yunyao was still asleep and had no idea that Yu Manyue was going to do something weird again.

Qianhe Hall

The morning court was as lively as usual. Yu Deming, who had just woken up yesterday and had not yet recovered, also came and appeared in front of the ministers, staggering.

Yu Deming knelt tremblingly before the emperor, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

"My dear Lord Yu, I heard that your storehouse and study were robbed, and I have ordered the Dali Temple to investigate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I have something else to report."

"explain."

"I have always treated my beloved daughter Yu Manyue as a treasure. Who would have thought that she, who is well-educated and well-mannered, would be beaten by the arrogant and vicious Princess Jing, leaving her face disfigured and covered with scars all over her body. But the Prince Jing actually turned a blind eye to it. I have no choice but to ask the emperor to make a decision for my daughter."

"Prince Jing, what's going on?"

"Father, this is my family affair, and it is not appropriate to discuss it in the palace."

"Your Majesty, I only have one beloved daughter. I cannot accept her being beaten like this." Yu Deming turned to face Prince Jing and said, "Prince Jing, you must give me an explanation today no matter what!"

"My dear Yu, calm down first."

"Prince Jing, what is going on?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, since Minister Yu has been nagging about this matter, I am not afraid of losing face and will make it clear in front of the Emperor and all the ministers today."

"Your daughter often speaks rudely and disrespectfully to the princess, but the princess did not blame her. But this time your daughter acted unreasonably and beat people in the mansion, and almost beat them to death. What's wrong with the princess teaching her a lesson? I didn't expect that she still doesn't repent until today. Now that you have taken her home, she doesn't have to go back to the mansion. I will divorce her now." Chu Chenjing's cold voice sounded in the hall.

"Prince Jing, you actually treat me like this... Your Majesty, please help me."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Lord Yu," the people from the Queen Mother's lineage also echoed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the prince's family affairs should be decided by the prince himself and should not be discussed in the court. Privately speaking, I think the concubine should not be disrespectful to the princess appointed by the emperor himself." The Minister of War Gu Donghao said. He was an upright and generous person who did not stand on any faction and had always been loyal to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my daughter just beat up a servant..." Yu Deming argued.

"Servants are also human beings. Can we just beat them to death casually?"

"Prince Jing, aren't those two still alive?"

"If it weren't for the timely rescue, the two innocent old people would have died. I will divorce this cruel and unrepentant vicious woman now." Chu Chenjing said coldly with disgust.

"Your humble servant also thinks that Prince Jing is right." Minister of Rites Xie Zhihong continued.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed, not saying a word, thinking about his own things. He didn't know what Jing'er wanted to do. Ever since Xiao'er was poisoned, Jing'er had been forbearing in everything and never took the initiative to say anything. He knew that Jing'er didn't like Ouyang Xiao's daughter, but in order to allow Xiao'er and the others to compete with Prime Minister Xue in the court, he still granted her the marriage out of selfishness. But what happened now? Why did Jing'er want to divorce the concubine for the sake of Ouyang's daughter? Did Jing'er fall in love with this girl?

The Sixth Prince Chu Chenxuan was a little confused by what Xie Zhihong said. Why was he speaking for Chu Chenjing?

But Chu Chenjing knew what Xie Zhihong was doing. Wasn't it to make him and the Queen Mother fight each other so that the fisherman could gain the advantage? But it didn't matter to him now.

"I think Prince Jing has done nothing wrong. It is up to Prince Jing to decide his own family affairs." The voice of Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi interrupted the emperor's thoughts.

"Okay, let Prince Jing make the decision himself."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Yu Deming knew that the situation was beyond his control, but he still held on to hope.

"Okay, okay, it's settled. If you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please adjourn the court." The emperor interrupted Yu Deming impatiently.

"Father, I have something important to report."

"what's up?"

"Father, I saw a group of refugees from Nanjun Prefecture at the South City Gate yesterday. There were nearly a hundred of them. I have temporarily arranged for them yesterday, but the number may increase in the future."

"Have you checked? What's the situation?"

"Father, I have found out that due to the heavy rains in Nanjun Prefecture for several days, mountain torrents broke out, many farmlands and houses were flooded, the people were left homeless, and countless people were killed or injured..."

When the emperor heard this, he was furious. "A flash flood? Why didn't anyone report it?" He had been in office for many years and had always loved his people like his own children. Now that he heard about the flash flood in the south, the people were suffering and their lives were in vain, he was heartbroken. But no one reported this, and he was very angry.

"Don't we allocate funds to Nanjunzhou every year to build dams? How could such a serious problem still occur? How does the Ministry of Industry manage it?"

Minister of Industry Lu Yuelin knelt down before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I send people to each state every year to check. Minister Hu is already out checking, but there is no news yet."

"No news yet? The victims have all arrived in Kyoto! You are such a useless bunch. What use do I have for you? I give you two days to find out the extent of the disaster."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lu Yuelin said.

"Ministry of Revenue, quickly prepare silver, money and food."

Yu Deming, who had not yet recovered from his daughter's divorce, answered blankly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Jing'er, you continue to resettle the refugees. Fourth and fifth brothers, cooperate with your third brother." The emperor said to Chu Chenyan and Chu Chenye.

"Yes, Father." "Yes, Father."

"Dismiss the court." Eunuch Hong said loudly.

"Jing'er, come to the imperial study."

Xue Mansion

After the morning court session, people quietly entered the Xue Mansion through the back door one after another. After a while, this group of people gathered in the study of the Xue Mansion.

This study is luxurious. There are three rooms without partitions. In the middle is a rosewood desk, on which are placed a precious inkstone, an ancient kiln pen holder filled with various precious brushes, a brush washer, a bronze stone paperweight, a set of exquisite tea utensils, and an elegant small stone potted plant. On one side of the table stands a large Ru kiln flower sac with several famous works. Behind the table is a wall of rosewood bookshelves, on which are placed many books, famous porcelains, and several scrolls. On the right wall hangs a famous painting, and on both sides of the famous painting hang a couplet by a famous artist.

Sitting in the middle of the desk was the left prime minister Xue Conggui who was reflecting on his mistakes. He was over 59 years old, but his face was still rosy. He was a handsome man when he was young, with sharp features and sharp angles. He always had a kind smile on his face, but if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that his eyes are cunning, with the ability to see through everything. The young emperor was also deceived by his so-called amiability.

"Prime Minister Xue, at the morning court today, Prince Jing reported the matter of the refugees to the emperor." said the Minister of Works Lu Yuelin.

"Hahaha, it's too late now." Xue Conggui laughed arrogantly.

He has been very busy these days, as the news of the flood was secretly intercepted by people he sent.

"Have you prepared the food?"

"Sir, everything has been prepared as you ordered."

"Yeah," Xue Conggui nodded contentedly, feeling that everything was under his control.

"My Lord, Prince Jing divorced Yu Deming's daughter this morning," the Minister of Justice Song Tianqi said happily.

"Let them fight."

"Dad, the prince still didn't attend the court today. Could it be that he is not doing well? Hehe," his son Xue Jianming said with a smile.

"Don't be careless, keep watching. Lord Song, find a chance to go to Prince Yu again and tell him not to act rashly now."

"Okay, Lord."

"Then let's all go away..."

The group of people quietly dispersed from the back door of Xue's mansion one by one.
