"The courtier has met the empress, and the empress is well."

After Luo Die knelt down to salute Jiang Man, she didn't hear Jiang Man's cry for a long time. She bit her lip and slightly raised her head to take a look at Jiang Man.

Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Jiang Man's eyes.

Jiang Man raised the corner of her mouth at Luo Die, and said, "Do you hate Ben Gong very much in your heart, thinking that Ben Gong ruined your future and cut off your way to become a concubine?"

Luo Die lowered her eyes, put on a docile look, and said: "The empress misunderstood, I have never thought of this before."

Jiang Man sneered, and said: "Have you ever thought about it like this? You know in your heart that I don't care what you think, but since I met you today, I will be kind enough to solve your doubts for you." .”

"The reason why you don't have the chance to enter the palace is not that this palace can't tolerate you, but because you have such a face, you are doomed to have no chance to enter the palace."

Hearing this, Luo Die touched her face subconsciously. Her face has always been her pride. Why did the queen say that she couldn't enter the palace because of her face?
Jiang Man looked at Luo Die's movements, smiled, and continued: "Do you know that your eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Empress Dowager Xiaoci? You should know who Empress Dowager Xiaoci is, right? She is the emperor's biological mother? Do you think the emperor will bring someone who looks like his biological mother into the harem?"

Jiang Man's words shattered the last hope in Luo Die's heart. It's impossible. If the emperor pays more attention to her because she looks like Empress Dowager Xiaoci, then it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to bring her into the palace. Collect it for your own use.

"However, if it weren't for your face, the emperor would not have noticed you, so you should really thank yourself for having such a face." Jiang Man seemed to feel that the blow to Luo Die was not enough. Yes, and continued: "For the sake of your face, this palace and the emperor really want to find a good husband for you."

"Whether it's Xiao Jianbai or Qin Lian, they are definitely much better than the husband-in-law that Mrs. Luo will find for you in the future. In addition, the emperor ordered the marriage. You will never be wrong when you marry in the future. It's a pity that your heart is higher than the sky. You personally blocked your way forward, so you can continue to suffer slowly in the future."

After Jiang Man finished speaking, she didn't care about Luo Die, who was paralyzed on the ground, with a look of remorse, and took Wan Dong and Lian Qiu to find Emperor Yong'an for dinner.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yong'an took Jiang Man and others onto the imperial boat under the disappointed and happy eyes of Luo Mincai and other Lingzhou government officials.

Disappointed because Emperor Yong'an didn't take any of the candidates they were going to send to the palace, and happy because Emperor Yong'an had been in Lingzhou Mansion for such a long time, and not a single official was released, which meant that Emperor Yong'an never found out what they were doing on weekdays.

Compared to other officials in Lingzhou Mansion, Luo Mincai was a little more disappointed. His concubine had obviously attracted Emperor Yong'an's attention, but in the end he still couldn't stay by Emperor Yong'an's side.

What Luo Mincai and the others didn't know was that after Emperor Yong'an returned to Beijing, their good days would be completely over.

The distance between Fuzhou Prefecture and Lingzhou Prefecture is not too far. It takes more than two days to travel from Lingzhou Prefecture by water.

Fuzhou Mansion did not build a palace, and Emperor Yong'an lived in the official office of Fuzhou Mansion after they arrived.

After settling in the government office, Emperor Yong'an saw that it was still early, so he couldn't wait to take Jiang Man to see the newly built harbor accompanied by some Fuzhou officials.

When they arrived at the port, it happened to be in the evening, and Jiang Man stood beside Emperor Yong'an, looking at the harbor in front of him and was deeply shocked.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the high dams and well-proportioned docks are covered with a layer of golden light, as if they can stand here for thousands of years without changing.

Because the harbor has not yet been put into use, there are no ships coming in and out of the port and berthing.

After Jiang Man and the others stood and looked at it from a distance, they even went around every corner of the harbor in person.

By the time Jiang Man and the others returned to the government office, it was already dark.

The officials of Fuzhou Mansion also prepared a reception banquet, but compared to the luxury of Lingzhou Mansion, the reception banquet prepared by Fuzhou Mansion was much simpler, but both Jiang Man and Emperor Yong'an ate very comfortably.

Especially Emperor Yong'an, because he saw with his own eyes the harbor that he fully supported the construction, his mood was so good that no matter who came to toast at the banquet, he would not refuse anyone who came.

The upshot of this is that he ends up getting drunk.

Emperor Yong'an was a very self-reliant person. Jiang Man had never seen him drunk in all these years, and this was the only time.

Having seen Emperor Yong'an drunk, Jiang Man finally understood the reason why Emperor Yong'an never drank too much.

Not only did the drunk Emperor Yong'an not drink like crazy, but he was also extraordinarily well-behaved and obedient.

At the banquet, maybe it was because he still had some reason, but he didn't show it clearly, but when he returned to the room, Jiang Man found that when Emperor Yong'an was drunk, he would obediently obey no matter what you said .

If asked to drink water, drink water, to drink hangover soup, to drink hangover soup, to sit down, to sit down, to lie down, to lie down, to close eyes, to be even more obedient than the third prince.

Jiang Man doubted that she would take out a blank imperial decree and ask Emperor Yong'an to stamp the jade seal on it, and Emperor Yong'an would do so.

And the next morning, Jiang Man discovered that Emperor Yong'an had no memory of what happened after he was drunk.It would be too easy for someone to take advantage of Emperor Yong'an's drunkenness to do something, no wonder Emperor Yong'an never got drunk easily.

The fourth day Jiang Man and the others arrived in Fuzhou was the inauguration ceremony of Fuzhou Harbor.

Jiang Man and Emperor Yong'an personally participated in the inauguration ceremony. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Emperor Yong'an lifted the boulder covered with red cloth with his own hands. On the boulder were the four characters "Fuzhou Harbor" written by Emperor Yong'an himself.

The huge stone stands at the entrance of the harbor, and every ship entering Fuzhou harbor can see the words on it clearly from a distance.

After the completion of the harbor, it is possible to trade by ship. Well-informed merchants have already lined up and waited. In the few days after the completion of the harbor, the originally empty harbor was full of all kinds of large ships.

When Jiang Man and Emperor Yong'an left Fuzhou, the seaport had already changed from the original barrenness to bustling.

Looking at the bustling harbor as he had expected, Emperor Yong'an was satisfied and took Jiang Man on the way back to Beijing.

When I went back, I still took a boat. Jiang Man was used to taking a boat this way, and there was no reaction on the boat. Jiang Man originally thought that she would never suffer from seasickness again.

But who would have thought that when Yu Zhou was about to arrive in the capital, Jiang Man started to feel sick and vomit again.
