Chapter 496
half a month later

The New Year’s Eve is approaching, and the streets of Kyoto in the flourishing age of the Celestial Dynasty are full of excitement. Every family has already started to prepare for the New Year’s Eve. On the road, from time to time, some children setting off firecrackers are squatting on the street corner, holding lanterns, dancing and laughing one by one. , looking at their smiles, you can't help but temporarily forget the current situation in the world, just remember that this happy festival is coming.

"Miss, Mr. Yun is here to visit you." Wushuang trotted into the study, opened the heavy curtain and looked at the woman in white sable fur above the slump.

Xia Qingge supported his head with one hand, looked at the book in his hand seriously, and raised his eyes after hearing Wushuang's report, "Invite him to the study, did that kid Suhe come with you?"

"No, only Mr. Yun came here and said that there are some accounts that need to be checked with you."

Xia Qingge nodded, "Yeah." As she spoke, she immediately sat up from the slump. In the past half month, the capital city was unusually quiet, and even the entire Qin Wu Dynasty seemed to be much quieter. In the troubled times, it is really rare to be able to win such a leisurely life.

Now that the end of the new year is approaching, Jing Ming and Wu Shuang hurried back from Fuzhou yesterday, and brought back good news at the same time. The horses, grain and grass that she and Wan Tianlin resold together had been secretly transported to Zhengzhou, and they made a deal with Feng's family. successful transaction.

She also got the huge profits she wanted from it. Although it was not as rich as the Wan family's wealth, the silver taels she got this time were enough for her to live comfortably for a lifetime.

"Is the injury better?" Following this gentle but concerned tone, Xia Qingge looked up at the person standing at the door.

Against the backdrop of the white snow outside the door, his originally handsome and upright figure now revealed a noble and graceful figure.

"It's basically recovered, but the two at the door stared too closely, and it's freezing outside, so I can't be bothered to go out."

Yun Zheng met her indifferent eyes with a smile, took off the black cloak he was wearing and hung it on the hanger at the door, then walked into the chair next to Xia Qingge and sat down. There are many injuries on your body, so you should indeed be raised indoors, and the little prince sent someone to watch you for your own good."

Xia Qingge raised his eyebrows, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. I heard that the emperor issued an imperial decree yesterday, appointing you as the imperial envoy to the south this time, to deal with the disaster situation in Fengbo and Lanzhou generations?"

"Well, it is true!" Yun Zheng nodded, his face did not show much joy or anger, and he was still indifferent.

"Hehe, the emperor seems to be much smarter than before after recovering from a serious illness this time, and he has finally arranged for you, the pillar of the country, to be put to good use."

"Who can tell clearly whether it's a blessing or a curse? With the current situation, I'd rather stay in the Imperial Academy and compile books every day." Yun Zheng shook his head and said indifferently.

Xia Qingge put away the joke, and looked at him quietly, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with the current government affairs, can you tell me about it."

Yun Zheng looked up at her with surprise in his eyes, but then he returned to normal and smiled calmly, "I can't hide anything from you."

"How can I hide my affairs from you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yun Zheng looked at Xia Qingge, his black eyes were shining with soft luster: "Recall that in the untouchable village, you were the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and I, a lowly untouchable, have a world of difference. I would think that one day we could sit together so peacefully and have a very good personal relationship."

Xia Qingge couldn't help but sigh, although she approached Yunzheng on purpose at the time, she never thought that after so much going through, there would be such a close relationship between them.

Putting aside the joke, Xia Qingge said solemnly: "This time you go to Nanzhao County, you must be careful in everything. Although you are smart and smart, the people in the officialdom are complicated and changeable, and there are many tricks. You will suffer a lot if you appoint ministers to go south when you are new. If you are not convinced, I will send someone to secretly protect your safety all the way to the south this time, in short, be careful in everything."

"I don't know when it started, but your exhortations to me always make me feel that you should be my relatives, hehe, I have been clamoring to repay you, but now you are still worrying about entering the court as an official..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Qingge shook his head to stop him, "There is still a long way to go, are you still afraid that you won't pay me back? Hehe, if you don't pay back, I won't."

Hearing her coquettish words, Yun Zheng's heart gradually became lighter: "I don't worry about what I will encounter when I go south. The officialdom is a mixed bag. Even if I don't go to the court, it won't be smooth sailing. Now I'm taking over again." Such a hot potato, this trip will definitely not go smoothly." He glanced at Xia Qingge, and worry flashed in his calm moment: "The thing I worry about the most is my mother. Although she is much healthier than before, she can After winter, her asthma relapsed and has not improved."

"You can rest assured that as long as I am in the capital, I will definitely help you take good care of your aunt."

Yun Zheng looked at her with a smile: "Of course I know, but this is the first time I have left the capital, and I have been there for more than a month, and I am always worried. It is the same with you. The capital seems to be peaceful recently, but in fact it is undercurrents. Don’t go out often when you’re fine, so stay at the mansion. I’ll ask Yun Sheng from the mansion to send you a letter on time at Suhe. That child is a talented person, and if he is disciplined, he will become a great tool in the future. .”

Xia Qingge listened to his concern, and felt warm in her heart. Yun Zheng's concern was different from Murong Yu's. The former was always guiding and persuading, while the latter was somewhat domineering and stubborn. Yun Zheng was a relative in her heart, and Murong Yu was a relative in her heart. Lovers, in short, the same thing is that their concern also makes her feel happy.

"Okay, don't worry on my side, tell me about you, this time the emperor who went south has created a problem for you."

Since she fed Emperor Wu of Qin that life-saving pill half a month ago, his health has been improving day by day. A few days ago, he came to court suddenly, which surprised all the officials who hadn't seen him for a long time.

On that day, he issued several imperial decrees, all of which were aimed at various events that occurred in the Qin and Wu dynasties at this time, especially the rebels of the Feng family repeatedly broke through the city, and Nanzhao County suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm, which caused tens of thousands of people to be trapped , and countless houses collapsed, but the history of escorting grain and grass to the disaster relief site has not yet arrived. For such a difficult matter, Emperor Wu of Qin appointed the new champion as the imperial envoy for an unprecedented time. I don't know what the purpose of this sacred intention is.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Since going south this time is the only way to go, too much worry will be counterproductive. It's better to wait and see."

Xia Qingge smiled slightly, leaned over and picked up the chessboard beside her, and placed it on the coffee table between her and Yun Zheng: "It's been a long time since I've gotten along with you so calmly, how about we play chess today?"
