The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

A carriage was parked outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

“Miss, I want to get all these things done this morning. Having a carriage will make things faster. Manager Cai has already driven away the new carriage we bought, so I hired one. The main reason is that I received a lot of deposits yesterday afternoon!” Li Xia explained.

"If one isn't enough, we'll buy another!" With that, Jingxue boarded the carriage.

“I’ll go to the store to collect the payments from time to time, so you don’t need to come back to deliver them. It’s mainly because it’s not safe! Things might be a bit chaotic at first, but things will get better once everything is sorted out!”

"Yes, this servant is mainly worried that Miss will be dissatisfied!"

"Hehe, you're so capable, how could I not be satisfied!" Jingxue said, patting Lixia's hand.

Li Xia truly felt the changes in her young lady, which was wonderful!

When they arrived at the general store, there was a crowd gathered at the entrance. Li Xia immediately became anxious, jumped off the carriage, and turned to Jing Xue, saying, "Miss, please wait a moment before getting off, so you don't get jostled!"

Jingxue lowered the carriage curtain and took out several packages of goods sold here yesterday from her spatial storage!

He jumped off the carriage, picked up two packages, and went into the shop.

"Go and unload the goods from the carriage!" Jingxue shouted to the shop assistant.

Li Xia was comforting the customers who wanted the goods when she heard Jing Xue's words. She thought to herself, "Miss didn't take anything with her when she left the manor. Where did these goods come from?"

But the young lady said not to ask, perhaps this is a new skill she has learned!

After a busy morning, everything is finally done, and the newly bought yard is full of goods!

Jingxue returned to the Prince's Mansion by carriage.

At that moment, Ye Muchen met Qin Jing and Ye Musi at the palace gate.

During the morning court session today, the Emperor relayed the news brought back by Qin Jing and his companion yesterday to the ministers, asking them to discuss solutions.

After much debate among the officials, the Emperor finally made the final decision: the affected prefectures and counties would be exempted from taxes as appropriate, and the court would also distribute relief grain to the hardest-hit areas so that the people could safely get through the winter!

As for who would be sent to oversee this matter, the Emperor did not say, but after the court session, he summoned Ye Musen and Ye Muchen.

Ye Musen was surprised that the Emperor had summoned him to the Hall of Diligent Governance. Since his elder brother ascended the throne, he had entrusted Ye Muchen with some important matters, ostensibly to train the War King!

Occasionally, he would send his fourth brother to handle some matters, but he was just a leisurely prince. Was he going to be sent to the disaster area this time?

Ye Muchen didn't understand what the emperor's purpose was either.

"My two imperial brothers, please sit down and talk!" The emperor removed the golden crown from his head and handed it to Fuhai beside him.

"Yes!" Ye Muchen and the other person sat down.

"Did we call you here to hear your specific ideas about disaster relief?"

"Your Majesty, the final harvest reports from various regions have not yet been submitted. Shouldn't we collect grain first before we can provide disaster relief?" Ye Muchen said.

Ye Musen also spoke up, "Your Majesty, I believe we should first use the grain stored in the national treasury for disaster relief! Otherwise, some people may not survive the winter!"

The emperor nodded. "What you all say makes sense. Logically speaking, people usually keep enough grain to last until the new harvest. But not only have the harvests been bad these past two years, but we've also had a lot of children. Alas!"

Ye Muchen noticed that his elder brother, the Emperor, had lost his decisiveness and resolve in court, and his face was full of worry. This matter was indeed difficult to handle!

"Musen, this time I intend to send you to the disaster area as an imperial envoy. I have prepared some grain and 2 taels of silver for you. In addition, I will have the Ministry of Revenue send someone to go with you. Go and inspect the disaster situation first, and calculate the exact amount of grain needed."

"Try to collect the grain from the prefectures and counties near the disaster area. I will issue an edict to the officials of the nearby prefectures that you will be in charge of allocating the collected tax grain. I will give you two months to get this done!"

Ye Musen stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to accomplish this!"

The emperor then said, "Mu Chen, send another two hundred elite soldiers to your second brother, and perhaps some more should be sent to the border of Nanzhao!"

"Yes, I obey!"

"You may all return! We will discuss the remaining details at court tomorrow!"

After leaving the Hall of Diligent Governance, Ye Musen said he was going to visit the Empress Dowager Xian and left first!

Ye Muchen, thinking that there were still two guys waiting for him at the palace gate, led Gao Chi toward the palace gate!

Qin Jing and Ye Musi waited so long their necks were practically numb. Finally, they saw the ministers leave the court, but they didn't see Ye Muchen. After asking around, they learned that the guy had been summoned by the emperor for a meeting.

Alright, let's just keep waiting!

Upon meeting, the three of them stood at the palace gate and talked for a long time.

Qin Jing looked at the sky; it was almost noon. "Third Brother, it's been more than half a year since we last met. Let's go to your residence today for a welcome dinner! We have to meet our new sister-in-law!"

Ye Muchen hadn't really thought about that question. "What's the point of going to my residence? Let's go to Mingyue Tower instead!"

“Cousin, I remember you were absolutely against this marriage back then. How about it? Are you satisfied now?” Qin Jing said with a wicked smile.

Ye Muchen felt annoyed when he thought of Jing Xue, who was giving him a headache!

"They're just women in the inner quarters, it doesn't matter whether we're satisfied or not! With our status, who can decide their own marriage? Let it be! Let's go, let's go to Mingyue Tower for dinner and then talk about it!"

Qin Jing was as shrewd as a monkey. He could tell from Ye Muchen's expression that he and his wife weren't getting along well, so he didn't say anything more.

The three of them got into the carriage and headed towards Mingyue Tower.

Mingyuelou is the largest restaurant in the capital, and the real owner behind it is Qin Jing!

There is a private room for three people.

After ordering a few dishes, the three of them were talking when the servant outside said that someone was looking for Prince Qin.

Ye Muchen teased, "Xiao Jing, you've been away from the capital for several months. How come someone comes knocking on your door as soon as you get back? Could it be some romantic entanglement you've had?"

"Cousin, what romantic entanglements are there? Although marriage is not something you can decide for yourself, that's because I haven't met someone who moves my heart. If I do meet someone, I won't care about any of that!" Qin Jing said proudly.

"Let him in! Let me see who it is!"

Upon seeing who had entered, Qin Jing shrugged and smiled.

She really was a woman, around thirty years old, with delicate features and a good figure.

Ye Muchen and his brother exchanged a glance simultaneously. Could it be that Qin Jing likes this type?

Qin Jing rolled his eyes when he saw the look in the two brothers' eyes. "Don't overthink it. This is Manager Peng from my rouge shop!"

Manager Peng, carrying a package, bowed.

"What's the matter? Why did you come all the way here?" Qin Jing asked casually.

"Boss, the general store next door has been selling these new products since yesterday, and the prices aren't too high. Today, their rouge shop started selling some really new rouge and face powder! Look, look, with these new products, our store's products have been completely overshadowed, and nobody's coming in. You'd better think of something!"

As he spoke, Manager Peng took things out of the package: a mirror, soap, lip balm, ...
