   Chapter 378 Stabilize (2)

  Lu Mingyu had been in charge of some palace affairs before. The rule of the matter is not to talk nonsense, if you have something to say, if you have nothing to shut up. The stewards had a lot of private conversations, and they were all worried about this powerful Crown Princess.

   At this time, everyone stepped forward to report things one by one, conscientiously, and did not dare to play the slightest trick.

  Lu Mingyu's words were concise and neat, and it only took an hour to handle all the palace affairs properly.

   When the stewards left the Jiaofang Palace, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and did not dare to say a word.

  After Lu Mingyu finished the palace affairs, it was almost noon.

  Qiyun brought his brother and sister Xuan over: "The brothers and sisters haven't seen the empress for two and a half days, and they have been making a fuss about coming. The servants couldn't be coaxed, so they had to bring them here."

   "Mother!"

"hug!"

  The two brothers and sisters raised their chubby faces and threw themselves into their mother's arms with a sweet smile. Lu Mingyu leaned down and took a pair of children into his arms.

   Holding the chubby and soft body, sniffing the fragrance of milk on them, Lu Mingyu's restless heart slowly calmed down.

  She is not an iron man, she stayed up all night worrying about Li Jing's injury, and worked another morning. It's just a matter of perseverance. At this moment, a pair of children are in her arms, giving her infinite comfort and strength.

  The children are still young, and no one dares to babble in their ears. That is to say, they don't know what an injury is.

  The two brothers and sisters were still as naughty as before. After staying in their mother's arms for a while, they struggled to get down and ran on their legs. Accidentally, Sister Xuan tripped over her own feet and burst into tears.

   Brother Jue saw his sister crying, and he cried too.

  Lu Mingyu was helpless and funny, and hugged the two of them to wipe their tears.

  Sister Xuan loves to act like a spoiled child, sobbing and calling her grandmother.

   Queen Joe is the most spoiled child. On weekdays, when the child bumped slightly, Queen Qiao had to coax her nervously and distressedly for a long time. Therefore, Sister Xuan habitually looked for her grandmother to act like a spoiled child.

   Brother Jue also shouted for his grandmother.

  Lu Mingyu coaxed softly: "Grandma has a headache today, don't make trouble with grandma. Mother will take you to play in the garden."

   The men exerted their strength, put both children on their shoulders, and stood up steadily.

   The two brothers and sisters liked to play like this the most. They stopped crying and making trouble immediately, grinning and giggling.

  The two children have endless energy, and to play with them, they also need endless patience and physical strength. Fortunately, Lu Mingyu has strength and energy.

   By the afternoon, the children fell asleep. Lu Mingyu went to see Queen Qiao once.

   Princess Hui'an snorted softly: "The queen mother just fell asleep."

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and walked out of the bedroom with Princess Hui'an to talk.

"Brother and sister, I have to work hard for you in the palace." Princess Hui'an sighed in a low voice: "The mother's thoughts are heavy, and the news of the second brother's injury almost cost her half of her life. Please take care of everything in the palace. Leave everything to me. I have already sent someone back to the Princess Mansion to deliver the letter, and from today onwards, I will be staying in the Jiaofang Palace."

   With Princess Hui'an here, she can also share a lot for Lu Mingyu. At least, Queen Qiao's side has always been guarded, and she doesn't have to be distracted to wait for illness.

  Lu Mingyu's heart filled with warmth: "Thank you, Huangjie."

Princess Hui'an said lightly: "Between us, what are we doing with these foreign words?" After a pause, he sighed worriedly: "The battle report was an understatement, only saying that the prince was injured, and I don't know if the injury was serious or not. "

  The two brothers have a deep relationship, and the younger brother was injured by an arrow, and Princess Hui'an was also uneasy.

  Lu Mingyu had a sour nose and whispered: "Wait two days, there should be news. The fourth brother has rushed to the military camp to take care of His Highness. His Highness will be fine, we all have to be stronger."

Princess Hui'an nodded with red eyes: "What you said is that we all have to hold on. This time, thanks to the fourth brother. I used to think that he was slick and like to join in the fun, but now it seems that he is a real brother, and something happened. , finally reliable."

  Lu Mingyu hummed.

  Princess Hui'an expressed concern about Li Chang going to the administration: "The fifth younger brother is not well-educated, and has never been in contact with government affairs. How can he understand when he goes to the administration."

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "I don't expect him to understand, it's enough to pass the words."

   Princess Hui'an thought for a while, and then laughed: "That's true. Fifth brother standing there, thanks to an extra pair of eyes and a pair of ears."

   This has nothing to do with trusting the civil servants or not. No matter who it is, there will be selfishness. Civil servants want to take advantage of this time to seize power, it is only natural, and no one can pick out the reason.

  Lu Mingyu asked Li Chang to go to show his attitude to the civil servants. I see all your words and actions, so you can't be too restrained.

  …

   In the evening, Li Chang came back from the Wenhua Palace.

   After listening to the political affairs for a day, Li Chang felt like a dozen flies were scurrying around in his head, giving him a buzzing headache.

   Entering Jiaofang Hall, seeing Lu Mingyu, Li Chang's head hurt even more. He didn't dare to get too close, and stood three meters away: "Second sister-in-law, I have something to report to the mother."

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "The mother is ill and resting on the bed. Just tell me what you hear. I will choose the most important thing and report it to the mother."

   Sure enough, he wanted to take power himself.

  Li Chang was not careful, and he muttered what was in his heart: "The harem is not allowed to do politics. I just report to the queen mother, and tell the second sister-in-law that it is not in line with the rules."

  Lu Mingyu glanced over.

  Li Chang immediately persuaded, and honestly recounted the political affairs he had been listening to for a day.

  The ministers discuss matters, and a government affairs often takes a long time to argue. At the end of the day, five government affairs were discussed. The most important of these is the preparation and delivery of military rations.

   "The noble book of the Ministry of Household said that after fighting for more than a year, the surplus of the Ministry of Household is almost exhausted, and there is still enough food for three months. It is not difficult to prepare the military rations, and the consumption during transportation is too much."

   "Yang Shangshu from the Ministry of Military Affairs has a solution. He said that he would allocate money and let the grain deliverers go to the border to buy grain. This way, most of the losses can be saved. The speed can also be faster."

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "This is a good idea."

  Emperor Yongjia was very precise in seeing people, and Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War was well versed in military affairs and had a keen and active mind. He was a rare talent.

   The remaining four are mostly internal affairs. Lu Mingyu didn't say much, just instructed: "You go tomorrow, remember, just listen and watch, don't say anything."

   Know, just be a microphone!

  Li Chang replied dully.

   After the business was finished, Lu Mingyu was not happy to see Li Chang's face: "If there is nothing else, you can go back! If you have anything, remember to send a letter to me immediately."

  Li Chang nodded in response, and left.

  A palace servant was waiting outside the Jiaofang Hall. As soon as Li Chang appeared, the palace servant stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Su has ordered my servants to wait. Please go to Yihua Palace for a chat."
