Chapter 67 Melancholy
When Jin Se returned to the imperial tea room, he saw Cha Qing sitting in front of the tea stove again, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

But Cha Lan is no longer here at this moment.

I guess I have something else to be busy with.

When Cha Qing saw Jin Se coming back, she hurriedly waved to her: "Hey, you're back, come and sit down!".

As Cha Qing spoke, he poured a cup of tea and placed it on the other side of the table.

As soon as Jinse sat down, she immediately approached them and asked gossiping: "Hey, sister Jinse, who is coming here again?".

Jinse warmed her hands with her teacup in her arms. After calming down, she said, "It's the Queen who is here! She must have something to do with the Emperor, right?"

When Cha Qing heard this, she immediately said "Oh" in understanding.

After she clicked her tongue twice, she said with certainty: "The Queen is here again? I guess she is here to ask about the Fifth Prince."

It's not hard to guess.

Jinse also nodded: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has not returned to the palace for quite some time since he left the palace to provide disaster relief. The Queen must be worried about His Highness the Fifth Prince!".

Cha Qing said: "That's for sure. I heard that since the heavy snowfall here in Jinsheng City, there have been several heavy snowfalls in several surrounding states and counties. I even heard that there was a heavy snowfall in Liyang City. The disaster here is no less severe than that here in Jinsheng City!"

Liyang City and Jinsheng City are already separated by several counties and towns, which shows the scope of this heavy snowfall.

Jinse frowned when he heard this: "The last time there was a heavy snowfall, the disaster in Jinsheng City was not light. If the situation in Liyang City is still serious, I don't know how many people died there in the end."

It is unavoidable to avoid the Emperor's feet, let alone Liyang City?
Cha Qing sighed, and after a while he said helplessly: "It's going to snow, what can we do?".

Yes, there is nothing they can do. After all, this is a natural disaster and there is no way to avoid it.

The two sighed for a while, and then Cha Qing brought out a plate of pastries from the cabinet.

Cha Qing said: "Forget it, what's the use of thinking so much about these things? Let's eat some pastries. We haven't eaten much at noon, so we are all hungry by now. People who are colder always get hungry faster."

Jinse glanced at Cha Qing, then silently took a piece of snack and ate it slowly.

Leisurely days seem to pass faster.

Although there are still aftermaths of the snow disaster near Jinsheng City, at least the disaster relief has had a certain effect and the situation has gradually stabilized.

However, even though the court has not been held recently, Jinse and the others, nestled in the imperial tea room, often heard about the endless fighting between the eldest prince and the fifth prince.

These two princes are hard to deal with.

The fifth prince is scheming and has always been tolerant. If he meets others, he will never cause such serious trouble with others.

However, the eldest prince is shallow-minded, and he always likes to act like a martial artist, and he is very straightforward in speaking and doing things.

Therefore, when such a eldest prince faced off against the fifth prince, he was able to restrain the fifth prince skillfully.

When Cha Qing talked about this, it was mostly gossip, but Jin Se felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

Now that the impact of the snowstorm has not been completely eliminated, the two princes who were sent to provide relief have caused a quarrel. How can this be considered a good thing?

Fortunately, we have not heard of any delay in disaster relief by our two highnesses so far.

However, such things made Jinse feel a little uncomfortable.

She was thinking that in the eyes of the two princes, disaster relief was just a way for them to compete for power.

But they never realized that disaster relief is a kind of salvation for the victims who have suffered from the snow disaster.

Jinse disagreed with the idea of ​​using the people's salvation as a way for him to fight for power.

It's a pity that she feels uncomfortable or angry about it, but it has no effect.In Dong Nuan Pavilion, after the emperor took a few sips of hot tea, he turned his head and glanced at Jinse who was standing aside.

I saw that Jin Se had a frown on his face right now, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The emperor, who was also a little melancholy, put down his teacup, held his head and asked Jinse: "Girl, what are you thinking about? Are you standing distracted again?".

Jinse came back to her senses and glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was distracted."

Of course I know you were distracted just now.

The emperor waved his hand and asked: "What were you thinking about just now?".

Jinse pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I just occasionally heard about the snowstorm outside, which makes me a little sad!".

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Jinse intently, and after a while he asked: "Why are you sad?".

Jinse said honestly: "After I was kicked out of my adoptive parents' home, I lived on the street with the victims. I know how uncomfortable it is to be cold."

In fact, it was more than uncomfortable. There were many times during that period that Jinse wondered if he was about to freeze to death.

Fortunately, she survived in the end.

Now she has survived, but when she thinks about the people in the snowstorm, Jinse seems to still be able to recall the powerless feeling she had at the beginning.

When the emperor heard this, he fell silent and his mood became much worse.

After a long while, he said: "You are right. Although I have never experienced it, I still feel sad."

He had never experienced it, but the documents submitted by various states and counties reported how many houses and facilities were damaged due to the disaster, and how many people froze to death due to the disaster.

The numbers on it made the emperor feel heartbroken.

How come this girl Jinse is talking about the disaster again? The emperor has been worried about this matter recently.

If she said this now, wouldn't it hit the emperor's pain point again?

Eunuch Yang stood aside, feeling angry and helpless in his heart.

After taking a look at Jinse, he quickly comforted the emperor and said, "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty. Your Highness and Your Highness have already gone to provide disaster relief, and the results have been pretty good so far. I think the disaster will be over soon!"

It was okay if Eunuch Yang didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, the emperor suddenly became angry.

"The two of them are doing things actively, but look at the things they have caused trouble recently? Are they decent?"

The tricks between the eldest prince and the fifth prince were naturally not enough to watch in front of the emperor.

Eunuch Yang also understood this and immediately twitched the corners of his lips helplessly.

The emperor snorted coldly and continued: "If it weren't for the fact that their disaster relief efforts were initially effective, I would have sent someone else to replace them."

Eunuch Yang stopped talking completely.

Jinse hesitated for a long time and finally fell silent.

After all, it was a matter between the two princes. The emperor could talk or scold her, but she had no position to say anything.

Fortunately, after the emperor said a few words, his mood gradually calmed down.

Just at this moment, Concubine Wei Shu sent someone to ask for an audience with the emperor, so Jinse took the opportunity to retire.
