Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

I see your words, I hope you are safe. My wife is in the palace now, so you don’t need to panic when you go to court tomorrow…

Yuan Fuge briefly described his experience in the letter, and Lu Yanxiu's eyebrows relaxed. He said:

"Yuan Yi, prepare some things and send them to the palace. Tell the princess not to worry. I support her."

"For this kind of thing, can't the young master just go?"

Lu Yanxiu frowned and said, "No, that would make His Majesty suspect father. Father holds military power, which is an awkward position between two forces. We must be careful. If we make a mistake, it may lead to the destruction of the Lu family."

Yuan nodded.

"Don't worry, young master. I will disguise myself as a servant of the princess' mansion and bring the news in."

There is a lot of rain in autumn and the ground is slippery.

Yuan Yi went to Lizheng Hall overnight. Coincidentally, the imperial edict arrived, ordering Yuan Fuge to follow Shen Que to the east of the city to assist in the disaster relief work.

"Ah? Princess, why don't you go back to the Princess Mansion..."

Yuan Fuge held the imperial edict and sighed, "There is no other way. Tell the prince consort that I will be back, so that he can rest assured."

"OK then."

Yuan Yi left reluctantly, with tears in his eyes.

Others thought he liked her, but they didn't know that he was afraid that Lu Yanxiu would blame him when he returned.

This Yuanyi.

Yuan Fuge did not return home for several days and followed Shen Que waiting to be summoned.

Although she was the eldest princess, she knew that the emperor did this to prevent her from getting close to the princes.

They have already noticed what she has done and will be more careful from tomorrow.

Shen Que didn't pay much attention to her and just kept her by his side to listen. She met Lu Yanxiu several times, but was pulled back after just a few words.

It’s really frustrating that I have a home but can’t go back.

At noon, Yuan Fuge squatted on the luxurious table in the corner to eat. Shen Que was the center of attention in the crowd, like a fish in water, and it was obvious that he was isolating her.

Fortunately, she had the white dragon soup made by her mother, and the sugar cake that Lu Yanxiu secretly gave her in the morning. Yuan Fuge smiled sweetly, and her heart seemed to be filled with something and felt warm.

She had roughly figured out Shen Que's background, and with the power of her maternal grandfather, there should be no problem under his command.

Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue came around from the other side and asked flatteringly, "Princess, are you all right here?"

"what's up?"

Liu Quan is Shen Que's close confidant. Why would he come here if not to flatter him?

Who cares? If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth.

Lord Liu said carefully: "This, I am ashamed to say it, I really can't say it."

"Then stop talking!"

Having said that, Yuan Fuge was about to get up, since she had already finished her meal.

Lord Liu quickly pulled her back and said, "Princess, please don't."

To be honest, Yuan Fuge had a bad feeling and turned around and asked, "I wonder what could have stumped even Prime Minister Shen's subordinate, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Quan couldn't help but blush, twisting his fingers and said shamelessly:

"The Grand Tutor allocated 10,000 taels for disaster relief, but it has all been used up. There are still many refugees, and they all need money. You are the Grand Tutor's granddaughter, so it would be easier for you to talk to us if you go there, right?"

"Has the ten thousand taels been spent?"

Yuan Fuge was dumbfounded. Ten thousand taels of gold was the palace's income for half a year. And now the refugees had only been provided with aid for a few days. It was impossible that the money was spent on food, right?

"Princess, please speak a little more quietly. Is this honorable?" Liu Quan looked around.

How can they talk about dignity when asking people for money? Don’t they think too highly of themselves?

Then he whispered, "The Prime Minister has to take care of the students in the academy and the disaster relief work. He is really short of money. Princess, if you can't ask, why not use your private treasury..."

"How dare you!" Yuan Fuge looked at his fat head and big ears and said:

"In that case, Lord Liu, please tell me how this account was spent, so that I can check the flow of money, and then I will have a legitimate reason to ask my grandfather for money."

Liu Quan immediately took out a fish-scale booklet, which densely recorded the flow of water and even their meals.

This is for the disaster victims. They are so cool that they have gone to inns and other places. But the disaster victims are using cow sheds?

"It's all here. You see, most of the victims' money is spent on food. Many of them don't have a place to live. And there are also medical expenses..."

He was talking about all sorts of things, but the medical treatment was paid for by the palace, so how could it cost money?

Yuan Fuge finally understood why her mother didn't want her to come here. Shen Que, the corrupt official, was good at cooking the books and all his men were his people. Coming here was like a sheep walking into a wolf's den.

She was given a headache by reading those piles of fish-scale books. Even if she had all the energy, it was impossible for her to have a debate with so many scholars, let alone a group of scoundrels.

"How about this, I'll check the account books first. If there's no problem, I'll go find my grandfather. This way I can report to the emperor, right?"

Although Yuan Fuge did not agree, she took the account book, so there was still room for maneuver. Liu Quan said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the Prime Minister."

Yuan Fuge sat on the doorstep holding the account book, staring at the sky in a daze. How long would she have to finish this kind of work?

She let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, there was a shadow above her head, and the food box covered her head.

"Why are you sighing? Did Shen Que make things difficult for you?"

It was the disaster season and every official in Chang'an was extremely busy. Lu Yanxiu took advantage of his free time at noon to send some supplements to Yuan Fuge.

You should meet your own wife yourself, otherwise when someone else comes, she will run away with him.

Yuan Fuge drank the tonic and pursed his lips: "He didn't."

Lu Yanxiu tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Who is that?"

"Although he didn't put pressure on me, he made his men give me problems!"

She paused, then her eyes lit up and she looked at Lu Yanxiu with ill intent.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yanxiu supported himself on the ground with his hands and leaned back.

"Hehe, how about you run a trip for my wife?" Yuan Fuge pecked his chin.

As a wife.

This word is good. Lu Yanxiu was delighted and sat back to stroke her hair.

"You said."

"I knew you were the best." Yuan Fuge excitedly hugged Lu Yanxiu's neck, holding his face and kissing him several times.

The intense happiness hit Lu Yanxiu's heart, almost making him fall down.

"You, you better speak first. If you continue like this, I'm afraid I'll carry you away right now."

Yuan Fuge immediately straightened his posture, like a good student, and said:

"I need to know the prices of rice, flour, grain and oil in the east of the city, as well as the inns. Then you can ask your grandfather to find a few people who can do royal business, or your uncle can also do it, as long as he has time."

"My uncle?"

"Yeah, he's also a businessman. He can make money here and spend more time with his brother."

She knew her mother's concern. Lu Yanxiu was moved by her understanding. He hugged her and whispered thank you in her ear.

"As ordered!"

The husband was very efficient and came back in the evening. He found out all the market prices in detail. The couple compared the account books one by one and found that there was a huge deficit.

"This is not intended to embarrass Taifu and you!"

Yuan Fuge patted his back and said, "It's okay. We can settle the accounts with them later. I can go back home later."

"Then I'll wait for you?"

"No, you'll distract me."
