Chapter 317 Xiang Zhu's Family
"Eunuch Qin, I understand. But there are many internal affairs in Prince Jing's Mansion, and it will be difficult to handle them all in a short time. I ask His Majesty to give me a few days. After the affairs are handled, I will personally go to the capital to report on my work." Jiang Shaohan's tone was firm, neither humble nor arrogant.
Eunuch Qin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Your Highness is right, but I must remind you that the emperor's order cannot be violated. If Your Highness delays, it may be inconvenient."
Du Yunsheng interrupted at this time and said, "Eunuch Qin, my husband and I are loyal to the court, and His Majesty knows that. In the next few days, we must speed up the handling of the affairs of the palace and set off as soon as possible."
Eunuch Qin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will convey your Highness's intention to His Majesty. I hope His Majesty can understand."
A few days later, the affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion were settled, and Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng, along with everyone in the palace, set off for Beijing to meet the emperor in the palace.
Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng were led into the palace. In the hall, the emperor was very pleased, and Prince Jing and his wife knelt down and saluted.
The emperor smiled and said, "No need to be polite. After not seeing you for a few years, you two have become more affectionate than ever. I really envy you."
Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng answered in unison: "Your Majesty, I and your wife thank you for your praise."
The emperor asked them to stand up and ordered them to sit down. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed harmonious and harmonious.
The emperor asked, "Is there anything you need my help with during your visit to the capital?"
Jiang Shaohan replied: "Your Majesty, I came to the capital this time for the purpose of seeing the emperor and asking your majesty for advice on how to govern the country. In addition, there has been some unrest in the border areas of Western Wei recently, and I would like to ask your majesty how to deal with it."
The emperor nodded: "Border affairs cannot be ignored. I will discuss with you. As for governing the country, I think you two have done a good job. However, I can give you some suggestions."
Du Yunsheng interrupted, "Your Majesty, my wife and I have a favor to ask. In recent years, the lives of the people in Western Wei have become increasingly difficult, especially with frequent floods in the south, which have displaced the people. My wife and I would like to ask Your Majesty to reduce taxes so that the people can have a break."
The emperor was silent for a while, then looked at Du Yunsheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Yunsheng, you are really a good wife to Prince Jing. What you said is very true, I will consider your suggestion. However, the tax reduction and exemption involves the overall situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, I need to discuss it with the ministers."
At this time, Princess Du Yunsheng of Jing secretly glanced at the emperor, and saw a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes. She was moved, and said: "Your Majesty, the Western Wei is busy with major events, and you should also take care of your health. Your Majesty and I are willing to share your worries. If there is anything you need our assistance with, please let your Majesty know."
The emperor's eyes flashed with emotion, and he smiled and said, "Well, since you are so sincere, I am relieved. I will arrange for you to participate in the discussion of some major events of the Western Wei Dynasty, and give you a chance to contribute to the Western Wei Dynasty."
Upon hearing the emperor's arrangement, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng were delighted and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
At a court meeting, the emperor looked at Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng and said with emotion: "I feel more and more that you two are the backbone of the Western Wei Dynasty. With you, I have more confidence."
In the court, everyone looked at Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng with envy.
On the other side, a small incident happened in Prince Jing's Mansion.
It turned out that Du Yunsheng's personal maid Xiang Zhu accidentally met her relatives in the palace. Upon hearing the news, Du Yunsheng was moved and decided to help Xiang Zhu find her long-lost family.
Jiang Shaohan's study was quiet and solemn. Du Yunsheng sat opposite Jiang Shaohan, with a hint of concern in his eyes, while Xiang Zhu stood quietly beside him, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
"Your Highness, Xiangzhu...she found her relatives." Du Yunsheng spoke softly, with a barely perceptible joy in his eyes.
Jiang Shaohan was slightly stunned, then he showed a gentle smile: "Oh? This is a good thing, we should be happy for her."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Xiang Zhu's eyes, and he bowed his head and said softly: "Prince, Princess, thank you. I... I never thought that I could find my family again."
Du Yunsheng gently patted Xiang Zhu's hand and said softly, "Silly girl, we are a family. Your business is our business."
Jiang Shaohan put down the brush in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "In this case, we must make good arrangements. Xiang Zhu, do you know the specific situation of your family?"
Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty. My family now lives in a small village outside the city, and their life is pretty good. But they don't know that I am in the palace."
"Well, that's great." Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Yun Sheng, how do you think we should arrange it?"
Du Yunsheng thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Highness, I think we should first send someone to investigate the situation of Xiang Zhu's family and ensure their safety. Then, we can decide whether to let them enter the palace."
Jiang Shaohan nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's do as you say. Xiang Zhu, don't worry, we will do our best to help you find your family."
A trace of tears flashed in Xiang Zhu's eyes, and she bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord, my princess."
One day, the guards of Prince Jing's mansion finally brought back good news: Xiang Zhu's family had been found, and they were willing to enter the palace.
Upon hearing the news, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan both breathed a sigh of relief.
That evening, a grand dinner was held in Prince Jing's mansion to celebrate the arrival of Xiang Zhu's family. At the dinner, Xiang Zhu and her family hugged each other tightly, tears flying. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan were also moved.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Shaohan stood up and said to Xiang Zhu's family, "From today on, you are all members of Prince Jing's Mansion. I will arrange for you to live in the palace and let you live a good life."
Xiang Zhu's family knelt down excitedly and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Xiang Zhu walked in quietly, holding a cup of tea in her hand, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"My lord, my princess, I have a favor to ask of you." Xiang Zhu said softly.
Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan looked at each other, then asked gently, "Xiang Zhu, what worries you so much?"
Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "My Lord, Princess, although my family has entered the palace, they have no status in the palace. I am worried that they will be bullied by others."
A trace of seriousness flashed in Jiang Shaohan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiang Zhu, don't worry, I will arrange everything. In Prince Jing's Mansion, no one dares to bully your family."
Du Yunsheng also patted Xiang Zhu's hand gently and said softly: "Xiang Zhu, we will definitely let you and your family live a happy life."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Xiang Zhu's eyes. She bowed deeply again and then turned and left. In the study, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan smiled at each other.
Xiang Zhu did not find out who entered the palace.
Du Yunsheng just nodded when she heard this, with a hint of barely perceptible worry in her eyes. She flicked her sleeves lightly, turned around and walked towards the mahogany chair by the window, and slowly sat down. The maid Xiang Zhu followed closely behind her, her face full of worry.
