Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 375 Water Supervisor
The next day, Xuanyuanming went to Ningguo Duke's mansion again with a cheeky face, and asked Mrs. Ning for help.Naturally, he didn't dare to find his uncle Ning Guogong, and he only relied on being loved by Mrs. Ning to convey the news that he had offended the emperor through Mrs. Ning.

After Ning Guogong found out, he couldn't help but burst into anger.But it's useless to be angry, you can only find a way to remedy it.

But this morning, Xuanyuan Zhen got angry again.Because of the Yellow River flood, days of heavy rain caused the flood to break through the defense line, causing immeasurable losses, and the people suffered unspeakably.

"Your Majesty, I have my own performance."

Xuanyuan Zhen looked distraughtly at the minister who came out, who was an official who supported the prince.

"Ah."

"I think that His Royal Highness can be sent to prevent floods and rescue disasters."

Saying these words made Xuanyuan even more angry.Before he's dead, these guys are eager to vote for a new owner, isn't it too early?

This princeling official was unlucky enough to bear the emperor's wrath, and was scolded bloody.In the end, Xuanyuan Zhen ruthlessly rejected him.This time, I was so frightened that no one dared to recommend Xuanyuan Ming to the emperor.

Yes, if Xuanyuan Ming participates in water control, not only will his image in the eyes of the people be better, but he can also increase his political achievements, which is also excellent.

But who is Xuanyuan Zhen, can he not understand his idiot son?
Water control?Hehe, drinking water is almost the same!

After the early court, Xuanyuan Zhen left his trusted ministers as usual and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue the discussion.Before he could say a few words, the eunuch next to Xuanyuan Zhen came over.

"Your Majesty, Ning Guogong seeks an audience." The eunuch beside Xuanyuanzheng walked up to Xuanyuanzhen and said.

Xuanyuan Zhen was not surprised, but frowned slightly, and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to let Duke Ning come in.Ning Guogong was someone Xuanyuan Zhen would not easily offend.

The reason for this was not only because Duke Ning had saved his life many times, but also because Duke Ning never asked him to do anything easily.But his appearance here today must be to intercede for Xuanyuan Ming.

Ning Guogong was wearing a robe with dark patterns. Although he was not young, he still looked imposing.Standing in the hall, everyone's eyes were on him.But his expression remained unmoved, appearing extremely calm. ,

"I have seen the emperor!" Ning Guogong saluted Xuanyuan Zhen, his actions were meticulous, and no one could find a single fault.

Xuanyuan Zhen said indifferently: "Why is Ning Guogong here?"

"The minister is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ning Guo said straight to the point.He knew very well that Xuanyuan Zhen knew what he was here for.So let's not go around in circles.

Xuanyuan Zhen tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and said to the eunuch next to him, "Come here, give Uncle Guo a seat."

"I dare not." Ning Guo was fair.

Xuanyuan Zhen insisted that Ning Guogong sit down, and then said: "I have official business to deal with, and I will discuss other matters with Guojiu after the state affairs are discussed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ning Guogong did not dare to disobey Xuanyuan Zhen, so he had to sit by the side and listen to Xuanyuan Zhen discussing state affairs with the ministers.

Probably because of Ning Guogong's presence, Xuanyuan Zhen quickly ended the negotiation.After Ning Guogong and others had left, they began to speak: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

"You're here for the prince, aren't you?" Xuanyuan Zhen simply asked.

Ning Guogong nodded: "Exactly."

"Did he tell you what he did?" Xuanyuan Zhen glanced at Ning Guogong.

Ning Guogong was at a loss: "I am not very clear about this, please let the emperor clarify."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything." Xuanyuan Zhen's expression turned ugly.Could it be that he wants to tell Uncle Guo that his daughter was robbed by his son?It's a big joke to say this.

Duke Ningguo's heart sank, knowing that Xuanyuanming must be hiding something important from him.

"Uncle Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your body recently?" Xuanyuan Zhen asked suddenly, changing the subject.

Duke Ning Guo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The minister's body is due to a hidden disease. The doctor said that time is not long, and I am afraid that I will go to accompany the late queen."

Although he was smiling, the helplessness in his words made Xuanyuan Zhen startled.Yes, Empress Xian, few people dared to mention this word in front of him these years.

"According to the logic, I should not and have no right to interfere with the affairs of His Highness the Crown Prince. But he is the only child of the former empress, and also the child of the only younger sister of the empress." Although Ning Guogong didn't like Xuanyuan Ming very much, he was very fond of the former empress. Respect is not fake.

Xuanyuan Zhen was silent for a moment, wondering why he and the former queen gave birth to such a mediocre son as Xuanyuan Ming.

"Uncle Guo is serious."

"My lord, I beg the emperor to give His Royal Highness a little more time." Ning Guogong suddenly knelt down.

Xuanyuan Zhen watched Ning Guogong's actions in surprise, so he had to ask the eunuch beside him to help Ning Guogong up.Unexpectedly, Ning Guogong refused to get up, so he only said: "I beg the emperor to agree."

Xuanyuan Zhen was also angry: "Is Uncle Guo persecuting me?"

"I beg the emperor to agree." Ning Guogong repeated this sentence, extremely stubborn.

After a long time, Duke Ning also knelt for a long time.Xuanyuan Zhen finally sighed, and said: "Uncle Guo, get up, for your sake, I will give him another chance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Ning Guogong heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with endless sorrow.This time, he used the emperor's guilt towards himself and the former queen to persuade the emperor to change his doubts.Then next time, will Xuanyuan Ming be so lucky?

"Forget it, you go back first." Xuanyuan Zhen really had nothing to do with Duke Ning.

In the early morning of the second day, several ministers in the court stood up and strongly recommended Prince Xuanyuan Ming as the master of the flood control project.

Finally, Xuanyuan Zhen didn't refuse this time, and Xuanyuanming was appointed as Zhidu Water Superintendent, specializing in supervising this flood control project.Then, Xuanyuan Zhen appointed another official to assist Xuanyuan Ming.

Xuanyuan Ming was very dissatisfied when he learned that he had been appointed to this official position.But in front of Xuanyuan Zhen, he definitely wouldn't show it.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Xiaodouzi saw Xuanyuan Ming's depressed expression: "Your Highness, is it over?"

"It's done, it's done, but I'm going to go to that remote place in the backcountry to carry out the flood control project. It's ridiculous, I'm the prince, how can I go to such a place to suffer!" Xuanyuan Ming became more and more angry , and even thought that Xuanyuan Zhen had deliberately assigned this official position to punish him.

Xiaodouzi hurriedly gave Xuanyuan Ming a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, the emperor is willing to use you again. This is a good thing. When you get to the south, you can do whatever you want. Who can stop you. As for Laoshizi's flood, Just let the people below handle it."

"Those who know the palace, Xiaodouzi too." Xuanyuan Ming was very helpful when Xiaodouzi said, "If you are a woman, Xiaodouzi, then this palace will definitely make you a noble concubine!"

Xiaodouzi had a chill, but still smiled and said, "Your Highness really knows how to joke."

"Okay, you're a man, so I don't like you." Xuanyuan Ming said, "Shen Yu, who went with me this time, is also a member of my family, so I will leave it to him to do everything."

"Will the emperor bring Xiaodouzi there?" Xiaodouzi really hoped to go to the south with Xuanyuan Ming to control the water.After all, only by staying by Xuanyuan Ming's side can one have a chance to stand out.

Xuanyuan Ming smiled and said, "Naturally I will take you there. When the time comes, how to relieve Bengong's boredom is up to you."

"Yes, the servant will definitely find a way to relieve His Highness." Xiaodouzi smiled knowingly, and understood Xuanyuan Ming's meaning almost instantly.

Floods in the south cannot be delayed, so Xuanyuanming set off that afternoon.The accompanying people are all Xuanyuan Ming's confidantes.Therefore, he was more comfortable along the way than in Shengjing.

There are so many beauties in the south, even more unique than Shengjing.And Xuanyuan Ming likes gentle and beautiful women the most, and he simply lingers in the south.It was a journey of three or five days, but it took seven or eight days to arrive.

Of course, in order not to let people in Shengjing know.Xuanyuan Ming specially asked Shen Yu to take a group of people to go first, while he traveled slowly and leisurely, traveling all the way to the destination.

"Originally, I didn't want to come to the south. It was only after I came that I realized that there are so many beauties in the south. If I had known, I would have come sooner." Xuanyuan Ming sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, chatting with Xiaodouzi.

Xiaodouzi also responded: "Yes, the Yunchang girl in Suzhou City is really beautiful."

"It's very beautiful, but I'm going to the flooded place soon, not to mention Yun Chang, I'm afraid even ordinary girls can't play with it." Xuanyuan Ming couldn't help complaining.Tonight, he will reach the flooded place to prove that the prince has been here.

Xiaodouzi said mysteriously: "Your Highness, there is still a chance."

"Oh, tell me?" Xuanyuan Ming asked with interest, opening his eyes.

Xiao Douzi leaned into Xuanyuan Ming's ear and said, "If Your Highness likes Miss Yun Chang, the servant thinks that she can be brought here. In this way, she can accompany the prince every day."

"Yun Chang is their top card in Yihong Pavilion, I'm afraid they won't come out easily." Xuanyuan Ming said.

Xiaodouzi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, logically speaking, if your identity is announced, Miss Yun Chang would like to join you. But this time you are going south, you can't reveal your identity, so you can only spend money to invite you here."

"Spending money?" Xuanyuan Ming sneered, "All my money is used to support those ministers and staff. How many can really be spent! It's not like you don't know, this prince of this palace did it."

It's not that Xuanyuan Ming is crying about being poor. As a prince, even though he is very rich, he can't stand it.Especially those officials and staff under his hands need to be managed.And Xuanyuan Ming always wanted face, in order to maintain the status of the prince, it can be said to be extravagant.

"Your Highness also said that when we went out, we didn't bring any money." Xiaodouzi was immediately discouraged.Even if there are more ideas, there is no way without money.

Xuanyuan Ming nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up again: "Who said you didn't bring any money!"

"Huh?" Xiaodouzi was a little confused.

Xuanyuan Ming said: "Nothing."
