At the beginning, the empress will be the queen and eat soft rice to open the blind box

Xiao Yuyi was in a bad mood, very bad.

Early this morning, the cabinet reported that the northeast province of the empire had been hit by torrential rains since the beginning of summer.

The crops in many places have been washed away by the floods, and there are twelve counties that are determined to have no harvest.

The areas where production has been reduced by more than half account for more than two-thirds of the Northeast Province.

The cabinet felt that the situation was serious, and asked the empress to provide compensation for the disaster.

Otherwise, the people who do not receive assistance are likely to lead to civil uprisings.

Then disaster relief.

Xiao Yuyi then looked at Qian Yunlai, the secretary of the household department in the shape of a meat ball.

We don't know whether Qian Shangshu can bring money, but his sweat is like rain, and he was brought here.

Qian Yunlai "rolled" out of the ranks of civil servants.

No way, with his body shape, walking is like rolling a meat ball.

Fatty Qian was crying,
"Your Majesty, the Household Department is really out of money. Last time, the military expenditure of the Xiliang Frontier Army was saved by Your Majesty's reduction in the cost of the Imperial City!"

So what to do, the problem was introduced by the cabinet, and Xie An definitely couldn't help solve it.

Xiao Yuyi looked for help to Generalissimo Han Renjie.

Marshal Han was there, staring at the wat board in his hand, as if a flower could bloom on it.

Holding the last hope, Xiao Jieyi looked at his grandfather, Zuo Prime Minister Xiao Sanjue.

Xiao Sanjue's reaction made her heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

The 21-year-old empress felt cold inside.

Xiao Sanjue, with white beard and white hair, kindly responded to her gaze, but he didn't say a word, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yuyi understood that the disaster in the northeast province was just an introduction.

These three bosses are jointly protesting against her purging the palace ban.

In this case, they will not be able to grasp the movement in the imperial city in time.

So as to make a timely and effective response.

Xiao Yuyi really wanted to cry.

She felt that she would not be able to hold on any longer.

Is this still the kind and kind grandfather from before?
Is it still the grandfather who sat on his shoulders and rode a big horse when he was a child?

Xiao Jieyi looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face, feeling hopeless in his heart.

Xiao Sanjue watched the brilliance in his granddaughter's eyes gradually fade away, feeling soft for a moment in his heart.

Immediately, the family glory seemed to weigh heavily on him, and he couldn't breathe.

The heart that Xiao Sanjue forced himself to soften became hard again.

The hall suddenly became deathly silent.

The ministers stood silently under Dan Que with their heads bowed.

Xiao Yuyi smiled miserably,
"Since there is no other way, let's continue to reduce the cost of the imperial city!"

For a moment, an impulse rose in her heart to kill this group of corpses.

But killing these people is easy, who will govern this huge country?
What should the people do?
What about my daughter?
Also, him.

A vague shadow suddenly appeared in Xiao Jieyi's stagnant heart.

Everyone thought that he raped himself who went on an outing.

But who would have known that in this matter, he was a complete victim.

Both are designed by man.

Xiao Yuyi knew in his heart that it was because of this that he had been pampering him all these years.

Perhaps in my heart, the most sorry person is not my daughter, but him.

After the dynasty was over, Xiao Jieyi did not return to the imperial study.

She took her personal guards and wandered aimlessly in the imperial city.

In the distant sky, a thick smoke rose into the sky.

Looking at the location, it seems to be in the direction of the cold palace.

The preoccupied Xiao Yuyi was taken aback for a moment,
"Wu Qiuping, what's going on over there, is there water?"

Wu Qiuping, the commander of the guards, was also in a daze, for he didn't hear the gong of the fire alarm.

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to check it out."

With a wave of her hand, the two confidant female guards quickly rushed towards the cold palace.

Xiao Jieyi stood on the spot and waited for a while, but he didn't see the female guard's return, so he was a little worried in the end.
"Wu Qiuping, go to Lenggong, I want to see for myself."

Xiao Yuyi walked halfway, and happened to meet the guard who returned.

Wu Qiuping, the commander of the female guards, went up to meet her.
"What's the matter, is the cold palace gone?"

The female guard had a weird look on her face, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to,

"Your Majesty, Commander Wu is not in limbo."

"What's going on, don't hesitate."

The female guard is obviously holding back her laughter now,
"Your Majesty, it's the empress, and the empress lit the fire with her maid!"

Xiao Jieyi's jade face was livid, and the anger in his chest was uncontrollable.

This worry-free thing just stopped for a few days, so what's wrong with it.

In vain, I thought he had changed his ways, but it looks like a dog can't change his eating shit.

"Queen, what is he doing again? Could it be that he set the cold palace on fire?"

The female guard couldn't hold back anymore, she laughed out loud,
"Your Majesty, the queen said that he brought people to roast sweet potatoes, and asked his subordinates to invite you to taste them."

Xiao Jieyi was a little confused, roasted sweet potatoes?What is it?

She felt strange, and walked quickly towards the cold palace.

I felt ruthless in my heart, I want to see what you are messing around with again today.

In the middle of the courtyard of the Lenggong, thick pine branches are strewn together in a haphazard manner.

The small side branches were cut off by a long knife and thrown aside.

Only the thick branches were placed on the dry firewood.

Yue Zhi, whose face was blackened and yellowed by the smoke, stood far away, holding a big cattail fan in his hand, and fanning the fire vigorously.

Those who ride horses are all deceitful in fairy tales.

Why is it that the fire is big and there is no wet wood? Why does Lao Tzu work so hard to light the fire, but there is only thick smoke and no flames?
Yue Zhi felt depressed, why is it so difficult to eat a roasted sweet potato?
Someone outside the cold palace gate shouted and asked,

"Your Majesty asked, is the Leng Palace in trouble?"

Yue Zhi was upset in his heart, and said angrily when he heard the words,
"What's the matter? I'm preparing to roast sweet potatoes. You guys came just in time. Go and deliver a letter to His Majesty personally, saying that I invited her to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

The two female guards who were ordered to investigate looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
:Roasted sweet potato?what is that?
Yue Zhi ignored them, and said to Han Qiuchan and the two little eunuchs who were choked by the billowing smoke and were crying,

"Hurry up, fan the wind vigorously, after the flames start, there will be no more smoke."

The three loyal subordinates were weeping, while vigorously waving the cattail fans in their hands.

After discussing with each other, the two female guards decided to stay alone, in case there was a fire, they could help the guards of the cold palace to rescue the queen.

The other person flew back to deliver a letter to the Empress.

When Xiao Yuyi rushed to Lenggong, the fire was still not lit.

Only billowing thick smoke rose into the sky like a rope.

Looking at Yue Zhi with a flamboyant face, Xiao Yuyi was angry and funny at the same time,

"Yue Zhi, what are you doing?"

The voice is not high, but it seems to have a kind of magical power, which penetrates directly into the eardrum of the person.

Yue Zhi was startled, he lost his grip on the cattail fan in his hand, and flew into the fire with a "whoosh".

Unexpectedly, when it was hit sideways, the dry cattail fan was quickly ignited, and then attracted the half-dried pine branches that had been roasted.

Yue Zhi was overjoyed, "Finally the fire is lit, I don't believe it, I won't be able to eat your roasted sweet potatoes today."
