On the way to the palace on this day, the emperor went to the empress dowager's palace to pay his respects and served the empress dowager himself.

The empress dowager had no appetite.

The emperor knelt down and asked, and the empress dowager sighed, "Nowadays the plague of locusts is raging, and the harvest of the farmland is hard to guarantee. My mother is not short of food and drink, but what will the people eat and drink when autumn comes? My mother hangs her head high when she thinks about it. How else can I eat it?"

The emperor could only kowtow, "It's my son's fault."

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes and stared at the emperor, "During my mother's birthday last year, I knew that Lianghuai Yanzhengji was celebrating her birthday, and I was also very happy. But I heard that he is serving as the general soldier in Tianjin Town, but he is not effective in controlling locusts." .”

"Emperor, if you let him go because of his dedication to your mother's birthday last year, not only will your mother not be happy, but you will not even be able to eat."

The empress dowager mentioned Jiqing so suddenly, the emperor couldn't help but look up at the empress dowager.

His gaze swept across the people around the empress dowager.

Concubine Shu's eyes were drooping, and she had such a calm and calm look, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
.
Three days later, the news came.

The emperor issued a decree: "Hu Baozhen, the former servant, said that there are locusts in the area of ​​Tianjin. The industry has been wiped out, and there is no danger. Today, Jiqing said that after the imperial envoy, suddenly there were migratory locusts everywhere, and the traffic was stagnant...Tianjin It is said that the attack is almost exhausted, why are there migratory locusts everywhere, and where did it come from?!"

"Jiqing is not comparable to others, and he is the commander-in-chief. If you see migrating locusts, you should go to catch them in person, and do your best. How can you just send people to stop the matter?!"

"...Jiqing saw the situation of migratory locusts in person, so he didn't look down upon them. I will pass the decree to order."
.
When the news came, Concubine Shu was relieved with a smile.

"This auspicious occasion, now in Tianjin, holds two positions: Changlu Yanzheng, Tianjin Town Chief Soldier."

"In May, the emperor had issued an order for the abolition of Changlu's salt administration. The emperor said, 'Because of the abolition of Changlu's salt administration, Jiqing was transferred to Tianjin. It has been several months since Yi took office, and no one has been seen. Where the strength has been reorganized... It seems that Ji Qing's transfer to Tianjin is not as good as when he was in Lianghuai.'”

"At this moment, he was reprimanded because he was not good at catching locusts when he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town... Hey, he is not easy to be an official."

Cheng Jue also smiled and said, "Who says it's not? This Jiqing has been in the salt administration for many years, and his family is extremely rich. The emperor doesn't believe that he is greedy for money in the Lianghuai salt administration. The reason is that the money that is greedy for ink is not as good as his family's wealth... ...This kind of person happens to be Ling Fei's clan elder brother, we have to be careful."

Concubine Shu slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "Lingfei Ama is an internal supervisor, and my elder brother is only an eighth-rank, so she can't be used. She still looks like this in the harem; now this auspicious day came back from Lianghuai, and arrived in Tianjin. We are getting closer to the capital, if she gets the help of her clan brother again, it is uncertain where she will go in the palace~"

Cheng Jue sighed softly, "I have to say, Concubine Ling was really careful to hide her brother Ji Qing's move. The master has been with her in the palace all these years, but she has never heard of it; The girl is so good with her, I am afraid that the fourth girl will not know."

"If it wasn't for the word from the queen this time, we don't know how long we will be kept in the dark!"

Before setting off, Cheng Jue managed to turn to Nala's side to let the air out, and used the eunuch in his own palace, as if he had no intention of talking to the eunuch in the imperial kitchen; the imperial eunuch then passed it on to Nala's side .Unexpectedly, the eunuch of the imperial dining room also brought back such news from Nala and gave it to Cheng Jue.
