Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 34

After eating, Jiang Man was eating outside while thinking about how to increase the favorability of Emperor Yong'an.

First of all, she can rule out tricks that depend on talent, such as dancing in the imperial garden and singing ditties on the way Emperor Yong'an passed by.

Next, she will choose one of her specialties, so what is she good at?
She seems to be good at eating and sleeping.

Thinking of this, Jiang Man suddenly felt that her life these years was like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Jiang Man shook her head, got rid of this terrible idea from her mind, and then seriously considered the method of gaining Emperor Yong'an's favor.

Frowning and pondering for a while, Jiang Man wanted her to send some snacks or soup to Emperor Yong'an. Although this method was not new, she had no other choice.

It's just that with her current status, can these things be sent to Emperor Yong'an?What's more, the ones sent over are all made by myself. Although she is not the best at cooking, she did not do little research in the past, and she will definitely do it. In the kitchen, she can't go to the dining room to borrow the pots and stoves in the dining room, can she?
Jiang Man sighed a little dejectedly, it was too difficult to win the favorability of Emperor Yong'an.

"How about, master, you can make a purse or a small item in the sachet for the emperor, and you can give it to the emperor when you see the emperor later." Wan Dong suggested: "Master, you are good at sewing, so it must be no problem to do this." , and the emperor may still think of the master when he uses these things."

Jiang Man is careful, and thinks that Wan Dong's suggestion is good. The purses and sachets are not afraid of damage if they can't be given away for a while.

As soon as he thought of it, Jiang Man asked Wandong and Lianqiu to dig out all the materials in the warehouse to see what kind of materials were suitable for making purses for Emperor Yong'an.

Yes, Jiang Man decided to make purses instead of sachets. Jiang Man didn't have the habit of carrying sachets, and she didn't want to send sachets to Emperor Yong'an. Things like sachets and incense were too easy to manipulate.

Jiang Man rummaged through the warehouse for a while, only to find a piece of dark blue fabric that was a more suitable color.

Jiang Man said: "Just use this color of fabric, embroider the word "Ping An" with sky blue and white silk thread on the top, and put tassels of the same color on the bottom, which is simple and beautiful."

Wan Dong imagined what Jiang Man said, and nodded in agreement. This color scheme is indeed beautiful, but is it more suitable for the emperor to embroider the five-clawed golden dragon?
Jiang Man waved her hand, the purse embroidered with five-clawed golden dragon must have been made by Emperor Yongan, she wanted to make something different.

Everything is ready, it's getting late, Jiang Man has just given birth, and she doesn't plan to stay up late to do needlework, plus she has a lot of activities today, she is already exhausted, so she goes to bed early.

While Jiang Man was already sound asleep, the Qianning Palace was still brightly lit, and Emperor Yong'an was looking through the memorial on the northern earthquake in the royal case.

The place where the earthquake occurred is called Yuning Mansion. It has been more than a month since the earthquake, but because of the concealment of the prefect of Yuning Mansion, he did not know the specific situation of Yuning Mansion until some time ago. The imperial envoy rushed to send the memorial today, and the situation in Yuning Mansion was even worse than he had imagined.

Not to mention the heavy casualties, the homes of the common people were scarce, and the loss of property and crops was even more serious. The relief supplies sent by the court before were simply a drop in the bucket. Now there have been small-scale riots in Yuning Mansion.

Emperor Yong'an rubbed his painful forehead that was twitching because he didn't have a good rest, and threw the booklet in his hand back on the imperial case, remembering the accounts of the household department that Song Zhi showed him when he summoned Song Zhi today, Emperor Yong'an felt My head hurts even more.

The disaster relief needed money, but the Ministry of Household Affairs couldn't even get 10 taels of silver. Could it be that the people in Yuning Prefecture were ignored by the court?
Zhao Quanfu leaned forward and rubbed Emperor Yong'an's forehead while persuading him: "Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock, you should sleep for a while, there will be a grand court meeting tomorrow, the dragon's body is important, you have not seen it for several nights How did you fall asleep?"

Emperor Yong'an closed his eyes and said nothing, how could he sleep if the problem of disaster relief was not resolved.

The next day, at the court meeting, Emperor Yong'an sat on the dragon chair and listened to the ministers arguing for a long time without coming up with a useful suggestion. As soon as Sanchao returned to Qianning Palace, he heard Zhao Quanfu come to report that Chu Baolin had specially made some snacks for him.

"I don't know the so-called." Emperor Yong'an didn't have the mood to deal with these matters in the harem now, so he waved his hand and asked Zhao Quanfu to stop Chu Baolin.

Zhao Quanfu also guessed that Emperor Yong'an was probably not in the mood to see those women in the harem at this time, but Chu Baolin's attitude was tough, and some time ago, Emperor Yong'an's favor for Chu Baolin was the first in the harem, so he was a little uncertain about Emperor Yong'an Whether he will meet Chu Baolin or not, he bit the bullet and reported it.

Now that he has obtained the words of Emperor Yong'an, he can go back to Chu Baolin.

Before noon, Chu Baolin went to Ganning Palace to deliver snacks, but he didn't even see the emperor's face, and he even got some evaluation from Emperor Yong'an. The news spread in the harem.

Chu Baolin became a joke in the harem for a while.

After Jiang Man heard about it in Yufu Garden, she smiled and said to Wan Dong Lian Qiu, "Fortunately, I had the foresight not to choose to send soup and snacks to the emperor."

Otherwise, it would be her who was ridiculed by everyone at the moment.

Lianqiu and Jiang Man teased and said, "Isn't the reason why the master didn't bring soup and snacks to the emperor because we don't have that condition?"

Jiang Man refused to admit it, "If you want to give it away, there must be a way, I just don't want to give it away."

The three masters and servants chatted and laughed, and for some reason, they talked about the disaster situation in Yuning Mansion.

Wan Dong said with some emotion: "In any case, as long as there is a disaster, it is the common people who suffer. It is good to meet a better local official. If you encounter the kind of local official who does not do anything, you will not know if a natural disaster will come. How many families have been ruined, and their sons and daughters are sold."

She and her brother sold themselves in order not to starve to death because of the flood.

"The emperor will definitely find a way. The emperor is a benevolent monarch and will not ignore the people." Lianqiu said.

Jiang Man was not so optimistic, she shook her head and said, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

Even if the emperor has the heart to save the people, but the treasury is empty, the emperor may have more than enough heart to save the people of Yuning Mansion.
