Logically speaking, if the emperor and Xia Bailian are like this, then Jiang Shichen should be even more obvious.

Shi Yu took a closer look and found that he came prepared.

At this time, Xia Bailian, who had just changed her clothes, arrived late.

"Brother, even though this is a family dinner, we can't be too rude! Why are you still wearing your hat?"

Shi Yu broke the quiet atmosphere, making the emperor feel a little less embarrassed. For a moment, his criticism was directed at Jiang Shichen.

Hearing this, the emperor frowned, expressing his displeasure.

Jiang Shichen's hat was specially made. After putting it on, you couldn't tell it was a hat unless you looked carefully.

There was no choice but for Jiang Shichen to slowly take off his hat.

"My son, what's the matter with you?"

Xia Bailian felt distressed when she saw the bald spot on her son's head.

"It is you who brought this bad luck!"

Xia Bailian shouted at Shi Yu, saying that she was an unlucky person if she wanted to be like Shi Yu.

"Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse me. I have never brought such a situation to others since I was a child. Only the people around you are like this. I think compared to me, you are more like an ominous person!"

Shi Yu retorted.

"It's you. Everything was fine before you came back. So many things happened after you came back."

Xia Bailian seemed to have lost her mind and was full of anger, but in fact she spoke clearly and tried to put all the blame and the emperor's anger on herself.

Shi Yu didn't care about this little thought, but he couldn't let others plot against him for no reason.

"My lady, you can't say that. Don't you realize that the people who got into trouble were all close to you? Maybe it's because the things in your kitchen are not clean."

In order to win the emperor's heart, Xia Bailian specially built a small kitchen and cooked different kinds of food frequently. Now she had to pay back all the benefits she had gained from this in the past.

Shi Yu still had a smile on his face. He had already decided in his heart that he would take action against Xia Bailian again. However, he did not do it because he had too many concerns. Instead, he let her disgust him in front of him. This was totally wrong.

Soon the family dinner was over. No one ate much and left in a hurry.

"Mother, what do you think?"

After Shi Yu knew that the queen had no love for the emperor, he revealed everything he had discussed with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Queen's expression visibly relaxed.

"Knowing that you are interested in that position, I feel relieved. I am afraid that if Jiang Shichen ascends to that position, we will be doomed."

Shi Yu knew that this was just her talk. Shi Yu would be doomed, but she would not. After all, she was her adoptive mother. If Shi Yu hadn't held her back, Jiang Shichen would have to save face no matter what.

If she hadn't helped Jiang Shiyu clean up the mess in her previous life, she would have lived a good life with her status and means.

"I will, I will get to that position, don't worry!"

"Okay, I'll wait for my son to take that position, but before that, I'll help you get the position of crown prince."

Shi Yu did not refuse. Although he did not care about the title, he accepted it because it was the queen's deep love for her son.

Sure enough, the next morning, the imperial edict arrived, appointing him as the crown prince and urging him to rush to disaster relief.

Shi Yu did not delay and prepared to leave after receiving the imperial edict.

The manpower provided by the emperor was just enough, but still not enough for the long journey. However, there was no shortage of relief supplies.

Although it is correct according to convention, which prince would not bring more people with him?

Shi Yu went directly to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, borrowed a team of well-trained soldiers and set off.

Shi Yu didn't want to expose the fact that he knew martial arts.

Shi Yu knew that the people would suffer, but he didn't expect it to be so hard. Compared to later times, for people in this era, even having enough food to eat was a luxury.

Shi Yu felt heavy in his heart. He thought about the people. As the crown prince, he would of course consider the common people and think about their suffering.

But when you really see the real situation, you will still be touched. This is the people living near the capital. What about the people in more remote areas? They have already done their best just to survive.

As Shi Yu walked along, he felt more and more sad. Even though it was a nice day, there were still people who could not get enough food and clothing.

What about the years when the light is not good? Shi Yu thought of the situations in the book such as eating Guanyin soil and exchanging children for food.

What is recorded in the book are only a few short lines of text, but only if you actually live in that era can you understand how great a merit it is to be able to feed people.

Shi Yu instantly thought of a certain world, where the old man with tears in his eyes worked in the fields all his life just to ensure that everyone had enough food to eat.

The emergence of such people is the blessing of an era.

Shi Yu wanted to do something, so he came along the way and collected a lot of seeds. He knew the principles of hybrid rice and planned to do something. Although it would not take one or two years, he still had to persevere.

Of course, he also distributed high-yield potato and sweet potato seeds, but he knew it would be difficult to see results.

In a year like this, no one would use precious land to gamble on an uncertain future. Even though they were told that this crop had a high yield, since they had never planted it before, basically no one would dare to do it.

But Shi Yu thought that if only one person did it, it would set off a huge wave, gradually forming sparks that would radiate and spread across the prairie.

Shi Yu knew that if he wanted everyone to have enough to eat, he would have to become emperor and implement it from top to bottom.

Finally he arrived at the disaster area, and what made him happy was that, just as the court had expected, despite the drought, life was not uninhabitable. Although it was still very difficult, at least people were able to survive.

Shi Yu clasped his hands together, and although he had no magical powers, as a dragon soul, his innate talent was to control the world.

At least some rain did fall, drizzling down. Although it was not a downpour, it alleviated the urgent need here.

People cheered and rushed into the rain, smiling freely. Shi Yu looked at this scene and also smiled.

"Prince, may God bless you!"

The local prefect knew that the prince had arrived, so he hurried over. Although his eye sockets were dark, his eyes were bright.

The prefect was amazed to see that it started to rain as soon as the prince arrived, and felt that Shi Yu was a man blessed by God.

"No need to be polite!"

The prince stopped the prefect from performing a grand ceremony.

"I am here to provide disaster relief, not to cause trouble. Since it has rained and I have delivered the remaining supplies, I would like to ask the prefect to distribute the supplies and comfort the people. If you need anything else, please come to me. I will accompany the prefect throughout the disaster relief process."

When Shi Yu looked at the man, he knew that he was a man with plans and who cared about the people, so he handed the disaster relief matters over to him and exercised the supervisory power himself.

If the prefect is reliable, Shi Yu will not seize power right away, or demand that the other party obey him completely. After all, the other party is more familiar with this place. If the prefect has the ability, it is not a bad idea for Shi Yu to cooperate with him.

The prefect was delighted to see the prince like this. He felt that the country had a successor. He bowed in gratitude, then hurried away to continue his work.

Shi Yu followed him and helped him do what he could.
