After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

After instructing Lu Jiaoyue to treat Wen Rongxue and Wen Ziqiong, Wen Zhimiao followed Wen Ke to the government office.

Bian Ruitong claimed to be Wen Zhimiao's bodyguard and originally wanted to go with them, but Wen Zhimiao asked her to stay to protect Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu.

This reason was very legitimate, and in the end, they did not go with him. Wen Zhimiao only took Chu Qiu with him, while Chu An stayed in Prince Shun's mansion.

General Tang and his entourage stationed outside Nanshao City, using the excuse that they had to escort Wen Zhimiao back later.

As Wen Zhimiao's adviser, Shi Wanyue naturally had to follow her. In addition, the officials who had accompanied her all the way from Yunjing would naturally follow as well.

The flooding in the south is serious, and Wen Ke really wants to solve it.

It’s not that there were no floods in the south in the past, but the land was not cultivated so widely, and people lived in scattered areas, with many people even living in tribal forms.

The Central Plains dynasty would not be aware of that kind of dispersion even if there was a flood.

Those who survived would move to another place to continue living.

Today, with the introduction of Central Plains civilization, the civilization process of many uncivilized tribes or villages in the south has been accelerated.

In order to develop cities, reclaim farmland, and dispel some of the miasma, it is inevitable to transform the former rainforest area.

Places that are convenient for human habitation are mostly flat in terrain and are definitely near rivers.

So there is a feeling that there are more floods now.

Moreover, river planning is not suitable for the development of human settlements. In addition, once the river is silted up and blocked, floods are likely to occur.

After all, people have been controlling water supplies since the beginning of recorded human civilization.

It is said to be water control, but in fact it is also constantly looking for ways for people and water to coexist.

Wen Ke specially prepared a carriage, the specifications of which were unprecedented in Nanshao City.

Anyone who knows a little bit knows that this must be the carriage of the young prince who has just arrived in Nanshao.

I don’t know how many people are watching overtly or secretly.

In the most famous teahouse in Nanshao City, a woman dressed in unique southern clothing looked through the window at the carriage passing below.

"Her Highness Yuan Zhao was able to arrive in Nanshao safely. She is indeed quite capable. No wonder my aunt said she is capable." The woman said slowly as she watched the carriage passing by on the main street.

"Princess Jinnian has been in Yunjing for too long, so long that she has forgotten the great cause of restoring the country." The man sitting opposite her put down his teacup and smiled slightly.

The woman in a black cloth dress lowered the window when she saw the carriage driving away: "My aunt said that this young prince has the talent to govern the world. Now that the world is stable and the emperor is wise, there is no need to be obsessed with revenge. The Duan family should also let go of everything and enjoy the present life."

"Princess Jinnian is Yuan Zhao's teacher. Teachers are naturally partial to their own disciples. She has lived in Yunjing for a long time and has not had much contact with the old members of the Duan family. Her life is naturally stable, but what about the old members of the Duan family trapped in the mountains and forests?"

"How can she just give up the hard work and efforts of several generations?" The man still shook his head, strongly disagreeing with her words.

The woman tilted her head slightly. She looked about the same age as Wen Zhimiao, and there was a thoughtful look on her delicate and somewhat childish face.

She has a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people. Those eyes are not the same color as ordinary people, but gray. With her overly delicate little face, it does not make people feel scared, but people will feel attracted by those eyes unconsciously.

"Mr. Su, do you think I can be friends with her?" Duan Jiling poked his cheek with his finger.

"I've met her. She's very powerful and cute. Sister Ke can be friends with her, so why can't I?" Duan Jiling tilted his head and looked at Mr. Su opposite him.

She looks quite good, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and her appearance is also top-notch.

But Duan Jiling had no interest in him. Since she was a child, she had received many letters from Duan Yunting from Yunjing, in which Wen Zhimiao was mentioned.

Duan Jiling has been curious about Wen Zhimiao since he was a child.

She had lived in the village since she was a child and had rarely seen her aunt. Later, when she grew up, she learned that Duan Yunting left the South Country because she had very different ideas from her father.

In addition, after failing in his power struggle, he was sent to Yunjing by his father as an undercover agent.

He hasn't returned since then for more than ten years.

My mother said that my aunt was a very capable person. She could weave and write, make the most beautiful hairpins, and had the most powerful sword skills. Even her witchcraft was only slightly inferior to my father's.

At first, Duan Jiling was just curious about what kind of person her aunt was, but later she became curious about what His Highness Yuan Zhao, who was always praised by her aunt, looked like.

Su Jincheng looked at Duan Jiling and frowned slightly: "Princess Ling, have you also forgotten the Duan family's cause?"

Duan Jiling chuckled: "Master Su, you don't need to worry about my Duan family's great cause. I'm just curious about her. Knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle, right?"

"Speaking of which, His Highness Yuan Zhao and Young Master Su are cousins. Aren't you familiar with each other?" Duan Jiling asked curiously.

Su Jincheng frowned slightly: "Not familiar with her. Yuan Zhao is five years younger than me, and we don't have much interaction. I only know that she gets into trouble in the Imperial College every day, violates the rules of the Imperial College, and plays all day without making any progress."

Deep down, he looked down on Wen Zhimiao. In his mind, Wen Zhimiao was just a guy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, not much different from Su Xingwei, the brainless guy.

He was of the same class as Wen Jiuzhao, but he did not hold office in the court. However, there were many people from the Su family in the court, so Su Jincheng knew everything that happened in the court.

Although many of Wen Zhimiao's actions had good results in the end, Su Jincheng could never stand her behavior. She didn't act like a princess, but more like a playboy.

But Su Qingluo dotes on Wen Zhimiao very much, and now few people in the court or the country are concerned about whether Wen Zhimiao will enter the Eastern Palace.

This was almost a sure thing for all the civil and military officials in the court.

As for why the emperor did not appoint her as the crown princess for so many years, many people speculated that the emperor hoped that his only child could spend a childhood without pressure and in a relaxed and happy manner.

Su Jincheng has always been dissatisfied with and disliked Wen Zhimiao.

His father is the younger brother of Su Qingluo's father and is also the current head of the family.

That loser Su Xingwei had no ability to compete with him. In Su Jincheng's opinion, his only competitor was Wen Zhimiao.

This is true for everyone in the world. If you are too far away from the throne, most people will not have such a strong ambition.

But if you feel that you are only a few steps away from that position, you will always want to fight for it.

So is Su Xingwei, so is Su Jincheng.

They always felt that Su Qingluo’s ability to sit firmly on the throne was inseparable from the support of the Su family.

However, he had never thought about it carefully, because it was the military power in Su Qingluo's hands that allowed her to secure the throne.

All the border troops and the Red Tassel Army were under her control.

The Su family was just a small aristocratic family in the interior of the country. Although they controlled a large amount of wealth and population, they seemed to have played no role in Su Qingluo's attempt to seize the throne.

If Wen Zhimiao knew how confident they were, he might not be able to help but ask who gave them the courage to be so confident.
