The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Yun Zhao was very touched by Feng Yi's intention to support the Song family, and also vaguely sensed his other thoughts.

 She stared at Feng Yi.

 Feng Yi met her eyes, a little embarrassed, "What do you want me to do?"

"Your Majesty is beautiful." Yun Zhao hadn't teased him for a long time. He was in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but blurt it out.

 Feng Yi:…

My son is still here, and he has no one to talk about.

Feng Yi stood up and carried Feng Yun out and handed her to the nanny to take away. Then he turned around and walked back, then held Yun Zhao down.

Yunzhao:…

 She just has a flower on her lips, in broad daylight...

These days, they have been busy with matters in Huizhou. The two of them have not been together for a long time. It is rare that things have been sorted out now. Feng Yi is in a good mood and has not been together for so long. He is provoked by Yun Zhao's words. How can he Put out the fire easily.

When Xiangxue heard the noise in the house, she quickly left and stood guard outside the palace.

 The second prince is already so old, and it’s time for the empress to have another child.

 The next day, Yun Zhao delivered a letter to his home, asking the eldest lady to discuss it with her eldest uncle and his father before going to the palace to give her the result.

The result of the long truce was that once the war started, he could not stop, and his back was so sore that he could hardly get up. Yun Zhao felt that this could not be done. The emperor was young and energetic and in good health, so he had to adopt a sustainable strategy.

 One day later, the eldest lady entered the palace.

The Song family held a small family meeting. Song Weiran was on an errand, Song Weichang was on duty, and Song Weiming, the only junior who stayed in Beijing, participated in the meeting.

Regarding the emperor's request for him to go south to Huizhou to study water affairs, he hesitated and said it was okay.

He doesn’t know much about water affairs, but he can learn.

 The emperor asked him to learn water affairs, but he did not ask him to practice martial arts and lead troops. He could do it.

It should be that Ding Xian's incident made the emperor realize that water affairs could not be controlled by the governor alone, and that there should be checks and balances between civil and military forces.

 Huizhou was rampant in maritime banditry, and civil and military powers and responsibilities were often in conflict with each other. There were times when military affairs were delayed due to internal strife, leading to missed opportunities. That's why the governor had great power.

 Now that this situation has arisen, the emperor may have become divided again.

Song Fanming is doing well in the Hanlin Academy and has clear plans for his future career. But now a pie falls from the sky. Whether he can catch it depends on his own ability.

Song Weiming stayed up all night and thought about it carefully before telling his elders in the family that he could do it.

Aunt Che was very worried after hearing the news. How could she, a stay-at-home woman, know anything about the affairs of the court? But she also vaguely knew that this matter was not easy, and there were many pirates in Huizhou, so the danger was great.

 However, my son is right, there are opportunities only when there are risks.

Aunt Che was kneeling in the small Buddhist hall to recite sutras. The eldest son of the eldest son was a direct descendant, but as soon as something happened in Huizhou, the emperor sent him south to investigate the case. Isn't this dangerous?

The legitimate young master married a princess and worked so hard to become an official. How could Zhu Ming retreat in fear of difficulties?

If he doesn't go this time, I'm afraid I won't give him another chance again.

Aunt Che locked herself in the small Buddhist hall and suppressed her dissuasive legs. She could not interfere or hold her son back.

 From now on, she will eat fast, chant the Buddha's name, copy sutras and offer them in front of the Buddha, praying for her son's blessing and safety! Song Weiming began to read books on water affairs, and specially prepared generous gifts and visited Zeng Jiming, the former governor of water affairs who had retired, to ask for his advice.

 Before the emperor's decree was issued, all these preparations were made in secret, and the Song family never made any publicity.

Zeng Jiming lamented that it is said that if a noble concubine is favored by one person, the chickens and dogs of the Song family will ascend to heaven.

 Hehe, he could only dream of such hard-working and enterprising chickens and dogs like the Song family.

 Song Ming's wife, Meng, had a quiet and low-key personality. Their position as a couple in the prince's mansion was very awkward.

The husband was a concubine, but he had achieved fame and an official position. The aunt was a person with a bad temperament. She had been fighting with her husband's biological mother, Aunt Che, for decades, and the relationship was very bad.

After Mrs. Meng got married, she was like a sandwich pie. Her life was not comfortable. Fortunately, her husband was considerate of her. Now that her husband has the opportunity to go out, she is the happiest person.

It was because she returned to her parents' home to ask her father for help that her husband succeeded in becoming a disciple of Zeng Jiming. Now she is happily waiting to be released. Once she is released from the prison of the Marquis Mansion, she and her husband can live their own lives.

At times like this, Meng became more low-key and served Cai even more carefully, fearing that something would go wrong. If her husband went away in the future and her mother-in-law asked her to stay in Beijing to fulfill her filial piety, that would be great.

Because this errand fell on her husband, her mother-in-law was already very unhappy. The Queen of Meng often had a sad face but did not dare to speak out.

It took another half a month before the first letter from King Zhenbei was sent back to the capital.

Ding Xian was found, but he was seriously injured. Surprisingly, he captured the pirate who came ashore with the token in hand.

Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yi's surprised, happy and angry face and said with a smile: "This time Ding Xian can prove his innocence, the emperor can rest assured."

Feng Yi snorted, "This is because he was lucky enough to catch someone. Besides, if I hadn't sent King Zhenbei south immediately, I'm afraid he would have died at sea."

"Yes, Governor Ding is lucky to meet Mingjun." Yun Zhao has been worried about Ding Xian these days, and the less news he has, the more worried he is.

King Zhenbei led his troops at sea for more than half a month before finding anyone. Ding Xian's condition was already very bad at that time. He was seriously injured and fell into a coma. In order to pursue the pirates, Ding Xian went to sea in a hurry and did not prepare many things. Plenty, lack of food and medicine.

It can be said that if King Zhenbei found him two days later, he would be in trouble.

It's unclear whether he can be rescued now. Ding Xian is still in a coma before the document is sent back to the capital.

 At last people found it.

Ding Xian was found, and the situation in Huizhou would soon stabilize. King Zhenbei swept across the waters of Huizhou, and the pirates fled after hearing the news. When King Zhenbei led his troops to land on the coast of Huizhou, Ji Yunting led Huizhou officials to greet him.

The first thing King Zhenbei did was to surround the Governor's Mansion. This siege also included the scholars who besieged the Governor's Mansion.

This suddenly aroused public outrage, and many scholars cursed King Zhenbei angrily. King Zhenbei would arrest anyone who scolded them without saying a word, and would throw each one into prison. Such a tyrannical style completely shocked the scholars who were jumping up and down.

Yun Zhao knew this from the second letter from King Zhenbei. When Feng Yi told her, she applauded.

These scholars were basically sent by the Zhao family to deliberately cause trouble and lock them up so that they could break through the interrogation and open up gaps one by one.

It is true that most people would not dare to do such a vigorous and resolute method.

When King Zhenbei came to Beijing for his third zhaozi, those from Ji Yunting and Song Weiran were also sent along with his zhaozi.

Song Weiran has arrived in Huizhou to meet up with Ji Yunting. Also delivered with the document is the evidence Song Weiran obtained that the Zhao clan members colluded with the pirates.

The second update is over and will continue tomorrow. There is a blizzard warning and schools are closed. I opened the window this morning and didn’t see a single snowflake. Children have to take online classes at home these days. If there is a delay in the update, everyone will watch it at night.
