Seeing Empress Zhang and Concubine Wu De confront each other like this, the two pairs of apricot eyes met coldly, and no one wanted to give in. Huangfu Yuqing seemed to finally understand why the Empress Dowager was unwilling to attend to tonight's banquet. I guess she had expected such a scene to happen!

At this moment, Nangong Yan shouted loudly: "Enough! Shut up all of them!"

Empress Zhang and Concubine Wu De obediently withdrew their sharp gazes, no one said anything, and the air became solemn in an instant. Concubine Su, who was sitting beside Nangong Yan, raised her hand to stroke the man's chest, and said gently: "Don't calm down, your body is important."

As Concubine Su finished speaking, a faint light flashed across Concubine Mei Xian's apricot eyes and she slowly spoke: "Forgive me to talk too much. It is a big deal to establish a prince. Why should the emperor be so anxious? The Empress is right. Now that the third prince is not in the palace, it is unfair to him. The emperor might as well consider it carefully and choose a zodiac auspicious day before making a decision."

Concubine Mei Xian's voice was very soft, and she was filled with a strange intelligence and spirituality. Over the years, Nangong Yan had always been patient in listening to her words because he knew that Concubine Mei Xian was a wise and calm woman. At this moment, a strange and complicated look flashed in the man's deep eyes when he heard this.

It would be better to say that Nangong Yan’s banquet today was a Hongmen banquet, he was really so angry about Nangong Longjing’s incident. Now, after Mei Xianfei reminded him, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and he felt that his behavior today was really too reckless.

"I am right in my opinion. Today I will put my words here. If I am appointed as a crown prince, I may not be arranged in a long order. Those who are capable will come first. As long as I can feel at ease to entrust Lingyue Kingdom to him, everyone will be the same." Nangong Yan said in a low voice, his eyes faintly passing through Nangong Longkui and Nangong Longze's faces, as if he was secretly observing the reactions of his two sons.

A strange color flashed in Nangong Longkui's eyes, and Nangong Longze's face was still as calm as water. Nangong Yan stared at his two sons with deep eyes for a while. Suddenly, he spoke slowly: "Second, fourth, you should all know about Jiangbei today. The food in the beginning of spring has just been sown, and the snow has been frozen. Seeing that the spring plowing was in vain, today there was another news that it had been raining for many days. The cordon of the river embankment has broken. If this continues, the people in Jiangbei may suffer again..."

The terrain of Jiangbei is low, and there are times of danger of floods and disasters. This problem has not been well solved. This time the situation seems to have become more serious. Just as everyone's expressions gradually become solemn and serious, Nangong Yan continued: "I want to know, who can solve this big problem in Jiangbei?"

As soon as the man said this, let alone Nangong Longkui and Nangong Longze, no one could hear the clues even by the audience. Nangong Yan's meaning seemed to be obvious. He wanted to use Jiangbei's affairs to test the two brothers, and see whoever has the ability to govern Jiangbei would be very likely to sit in the position of the prince.

"Although my son has never dealt with such a disaster as Jiangbei,... in order to share the worries of my father, my son is willing to go to Jiangbei to observe the disaster." Nangong Longkui's low voice slowly escaped, and his initiative also made the expression on Wu Defei's face slowly soothe a little.

"Fourth brother, I want to hear what you mean too..." Nangong Yan's eyes flashed with strange light, and he asked in a deep voice at Nangong Longze with his eyes closed. The majesty in his eyes cannot be ignored.

"The floods in Jiangbei are almost every year. In the worst case in previous years, nearly 30,000 to 40,000 people died, and more than 100,000 victims. Now, the national treasury has a part of the silver and food sent to Jiangbei every year. In fact, this matter... I wanted to discuss it with my father in the morning, but because I never thought of a suitable solution, it has been stranded to this day."

Nangong Longze spoke quietly without hesitation. He did not ask for orders as urgently as Nangong Longkui. It was not until Nangong Yan asked him that he expressed his thoughts.

Huangfu Yuqing, who was sitting next to the man, was silent, but her mind was turned, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind. She had heard about Jiangbei. At this moment, when Nangong Longze said, she realized that the matter was so serious. It seemed that flood control and embankment were urgent, but it should be because of the limited conditions in ancient times, even if it was built to prevent floods, there was no way to achieve the golden slums.

"Since both of you brothers can realize the seriousness of this problem, this time... I will send you two to see who can come up with the most appropriate way to deal with the flood disaster in Jiangbei and share my worries!" Nangong Yan's low voice slowly escaped, which seemed careless, but made people feel solemn and sharp.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Mei Xian showed a knowing smile on her face. She believed that her son's ability would not be inferior to that of the second prince. If Nangong Longze and Nangong Longkui were asked to complete one thing at the same time, the final result would definitely be what she expected.

"My son follows the order." A strange color flashed across the deep eyes of Nangong Longze and Nangong Longkui, and no one spoke much.

After returning from Longyang Palace, Nangong Longze has been staying in the study. Huangfu Yuqing took Buli back from Cixin Palace, but still no man came out of the study. He happened to meet Ji Lu who was facing at the end of the corridor. He looked very good. I don’t know if it was because his body gradually recovered or he was in a good mood.

"Sir, please see the princess." Ji Lu saw his master and greeted him quickly.

"Deputy General Ji, is the prince still in the study?" Huangfu Yuqing nodded slightly, and noticed that Feng Ling, who was standing beside her, looked at Ji Lu's eyes, lowered her eyes and lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks were blushing.

"Yes, the prince has been searching the history books in the study, preparing to go to Jiangbei." Ji Lu quickly responded.

"Well. Deputy General Ji looks good in complexion, and his body looks well recovered." Huangfu Yuqing turned his words and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Her words made Ji Lu's cheeks flushed with a faint blush, and he responded in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, your subordinates' bodies have been roughly healed. I will go to Jiangbei with the prince tomorrow."

"Brother Ji is going to Jiangbei tomorrow? But your body has not fully recovered..." Feng Ling almost blurted out, frowned slightly. Ji Lu's medicine has just stopped today, and it is really a bit relieved to travel tomorrow.

"My body is not bad. If I am not by my side, I will feel at ease in my heart." Ji Lu seemed a little unnatural. The woman's concern made him happy and worried. What was happy was Feng Ling's concern for him, and what was worried was that his marriage with Feng Ling would be delayed due to his trip to Jiangbei. He finally could make progress to this point, if...

"Feng Ling, please talk with Deputy General Ji. I go to the study to see the prince." Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes flashed with a sly smile. It was not difficult to see that the two people in front of him were inconvenient to speak because they were here.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling and Ji Lu didn't say anything, watching Huangfu Yuqing's back holding the child gradually moving away, disappearing at the end of the corridor, and walking towards the study.

At this time, in Huayun Palace's study, Nangong Longze frowned, looking at a complete map and a few scattered notes next to it. They are all records of disasters in the Jiangbei area over the years. There are floods everywhere and grain production is constantly reduced. This year, this situation seems to be not much better. I have to rely on the disaster food relief from the national treasury every year. After all, it is not a solution. The court can finally help them every year, but after all, it is just a drop in the bucket. The lives of the people in Jiangbei will become poor and destitute. The number of deaths is increasing day by day. This matter is very difficult and difficult to solve.

Staring at the folds and maps on the desk, Nangong Longze rubbed his temples and continued to think hard. This time, the intention of his father to let him go to Jiangbei with the second prince was obvious. Although he did not care whether he could sit in the position of the prince, as a man and a prince, he would go through fire and water for the matter of Lingyue Kingdom, and sharing his worries for his father was even more important.

"What are the prince still busy with in the study? I heard that Jiangbei's affairs are indeed difficult to solve, but... I believe that the prince will naturally find a good solution." Huangfu Yuqing pushed the door open and walked in, holding the child in his arms and spoke Wen Wan.

"I may not take some time to go to Jiangbei this time. Qing'er, I am really worried about you when you go back alone. I will stay in the palace for a while and wait for me to come back to pick you up. How about it?" Nangong Longze stared at the direction of the woman when he heard the sound. In addition to Jiangbei's affairs, what he had been thinking about was the affairs of women and children. The assassination a few days ago still makes him feel scared when he recalled. His own safety is secondary. Women and children are more important to him.

"I understand the concerns in the prince's heart. If the prince really goes to Jiangbei, I beg the prince to agree to let me go back to the general's mansion to stay for a while. First, I can spend more time with my parents, and second, Xiyin's two children and our Buli also have a playmate." Huangfu Yuqing smiled. In fact, a child as old as Buli does not know what to play with. This is just a statement from her. If she stays in the palace at this critical moment, Concubine Mei Xian will inevitably have to tell her a lot of great truths.

Nangong Longze lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully for a while. In fact, he also understood the woman's thoughts. He knew that she would have to teach her every day when she stayed in the palace. It was a good choice to let her stay in the general's mansion for a while.
