Chapter 408: Re-enlightenment, Spiritual Sublimation
"Madam, this is indeed a big problem! Think about it, can those people just believe that a flood is coming soon? However, there is only one way to ensure their personal safety to the greatest extent, and that is to move them to a safe place in advance. Even if a flood really comes, it is difficult to persuade them to leave their homes, not to mention that the flood has not come yet, how can they just abandon their homes!"
"Yes, the prince is right." Ji Chuhe agreed with Xiao Yan'an's words.
Because, these are all true.
In my previous life, after a flood, the water was waist-deep, but some people still clung to the big trees in the yard and refused to leave no matter what.
"What should I do?" Xiao Yan'an became worried.
"Sir, I have an idea."
"Madam, what do you think? Tell me now!"
"Don't people have the custom of inviting fortune tellers? Those fortune tellers may tell people's horoscopes about marriage, wealth and fortune, or they may look at houses, tombs, and determine the feng shui of the sites. People would rather believe what they say than not believe it." Ji Chuhe stopped there.
Xiao Yan'an suddenly had an epiphany.
"Madam, I understand! If a famous gentleman were to tell people in advance that a flood would come, the people would definitely believe it!"
"However, even the emperor used the reopening of the Astrology Pavilion to conceal Ji Qingyuan's rebirth. He definitely didn't want to make it public. So the relocation and resettlement of the people mentioned by the prince will never happen. Once such a large-scale relocation and resettlement is carried out, it will definitely arouse suspicion afterwards."
"Madam, the emperor wants to conceal Ji Qingyuan's rebirth, which is understandable, but there are priorities. A disaster is about to come. Do you think that just to conceal Ji Qingyuan's rebirth, you will ignore the lives of the people? That's not just one or two people, that's tens of thousands of people!"
"Don't be anxious, Prince. In fact, the people can escape the disaster by running to higher places. The most important thing is to make them believe that there will be a flood." Ji Chuhe added.
Xiao Yanan is still too straight.
There are not only black and white sides to choose from when dealing with something.
This world is not black and white.
"We can only do as Madam said and let the people take shelter on their own." Xiao Yan'an also compromised.
He believed that the most important thing for an emperor was to pay attention to the safety of the people and put the people of the world first.
Obviously, the emperor is not like that.
"Then just reply to Marquis Wuyang like this. It's better to let Marquis Wuyang's people arrange this matter. Our identities are too special. If the emperor knew that we were involved in court affairs, it would definitely not do us any good." Xiao Yan'an's voice was a little weak.
"Just do as the prince says." This was the first time Ji Chuhe agreed with Xiao Yan'an.
Normally, Xiao Yanan would say such things.
A strange feeling arose in Xiao Yanan's heart.
An idea popped into my mind.
What is the purpose of human beings living in this world?
He seemed to have no goals.
Like Marquis Wuyang, he cares about the people of the world.
Like Ji Chuhe, her purpose is also very clear.
Otherwise, she would not have said that if she married the third prince and could not become the queen and the mother of the country, it would be because she was not working hard enough.
What is he working hard for?
He really needs to think carefully about this issue.
After Marquis Wuyang received replies from Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, his mind, which had been confused for the whole day, suddenly became clear.
"Madam! How could I be so worthy to have a disciple like Xiao He! She is so smart! She can even think of such a method."
"My Lord, don't you believe what those sorcerers in the Astrology Pavilion say? Now it seems as if a flood is really going to happen."
"Madam, it is much better to be able to find some solutions now than to be helpless before the disaster strikes."
"That's right." Lady Wuyang Marquis nodded in agreement. "My Lord, I've heard some rumors recently targeting Xiao He."
"What rumors?" Marquis Wuyang asked immediately.
"Aren't the concubines in the prince's mansion pregnant one after another? But Xiaohe hasn't made any movement, so there have been a lot of gossips. I also find it very strange. The prince and Xiaohe don't look like those couples without feelings. Why do they get along like this now?"
Marquis Wuyang held his wife's hand, "Perhaps Xiaohe doesn't like the prince. Xiaohe was secretly married off by her sister and brought into the Huaiyang Palace. What can she do? The Huaiyang prince and princess are willing to accept her, so she became the prince's wife. However, they never asked her whether she likes the prince or is willing to be his wife and spend the rest of her life with him."
"My Lord, what you said is true, but how many women in this world can choose their own husbands?"
"When a woman gets married, it's a huge gamble. If she gets the right person, she'll be safe and secure, but if she gets the wrong person, she'll lose her whole life. As far as I know, the prince was not like this when he was in Huaiyang. He was quite a jerk!"
"Xiao He has to endure all this gossip. It makes me angry just listening to it!"
"Don't worry, Madam. Xiao He won't care about these people's gossip. She is very strong inside."
Madam Wuyang Hou was a little ashamed. "Yes, Xiaohe is such a unique person. How could I look at her with such a worldly perspective? People like us who have lived to an old age can be considered to have a clearer understanding. It is so precious to be able to live happily in this world!"
……
Ji Chuhe also heard some of the gossip that the wife of Marquis Wuyang said.
She really didn't take this matter to heart.
However, she did not expect that these gossips would be spoken directly to her face and she would have to face them.
Prime Minister Qin’s residence suddenly held a celebration for Old Madam Qin’s 60th birthday.
All the important people in the imperial capital were invited.
The Prince’s Mansion naturally also received the invitation.
It was the first time that Ji Chuhe received such a formal invitation since arriving in the imperial capital.
It was sent from Prime Minister Qin’s residence.
She personally picked out some gifts and brought them to the birthday party.
Because of her distinguished status, she was welcomed directly into the main courtyard.
The seats for some ladies of equally distinguished status were placed in the main banquet hall.
Ji Chuhe came to the main courtyard, where there were already many people.
Old Madam Qin sat in front of a large round table made of golden nanmu wood. Surrounding her were ladies dressed in luxurious attire, who kept saying compliments to her.
"Madam, you look like a 60-year-old. You are clearly in your prime. If the post hadn't said congratulations on your 60th birthday, I wouldn't have known you were already 60."
