The ancient palace had very little space, and there were many small bridges. The night market sells Ling lotus roots, and the spring boat carries Qi Luo.
By March, the capital was still in a sombre state, but the rivers and villages had long since become warm.
The Fifth Prince stood at the top of the dock and watched the ships coming and going as they slowly started to move. He secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He had been preparing for about three months. Now that the salt transportation was slowly starting, he was afraid that something might happen.
"Fifth Prince, the first batch of salt has already been loaded onto the ship and is being shipped to the southwest." Fifth Prince, the first batch of salt has already been shipped to the boat and is being shipped to the southwest. Standing at the side, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Han, bowed to the Fifth Prince and spoke to him with furrowed brows.
The Fifth Prince nodded towards Li Han, then turned around to see the workers swiftly loading the ships full of salt onto the boats, and then slowly hoisting the boats' sails.
"Vice Minister Li, this trip is a thousand miles away to the southwest. Please ensure the safety of the salt and do not let anything go wrong. This matter is related to the country, so no matter what happens, neither of us can afford it. " The Fifth Prince's brows were knitted tightly. He had a serious expression as he spoke to Vice Minister Li.
The Fifth Prince nodded lightly and continued to turn around to look at the river bank that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Li Han also turned around, and couldn't help but size up the youth who stood in front of his with firm eyes. He was not very old, and with his tall figure and mature posture, he stood by the side of the river without moving an inch. As a descendant of the Imperial Family, the burden he bore was naturally much greater than the children of ordinary families. For the past three months, he had been making daily trips, from the border envoys to the fishermen and boat people. He had never rested for a day.
If he was born in an ordinary wealthy family, he would definitely be a servant of the Emperor. It was a pity that he was born in the imperial family and spent his days fighting against each other for his own safety. Li Han stood at the side and looked at the Fifth Prince, and couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, the capital was also closely discussing the matter.
"Young Prince Mu, Jiang Nan has secretly reported that the Fifth Prince is in charge of the Jiangnan salt transportation has begun. The first batch of salt transportation has already left the pier and is sailing towards the southwest." When the guards of the manor received the news, they hurriedly came back to inform the Young Prince Mu.
After Mu Chuyang heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding to the guard. He thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Pass down the order, this matter is related to the country. We must assist the Fifth Prince in this matter. We must ensure that the salt is transported to the depths of the Southwest and that no mistakes occur."
Just as Mu Chuyang finished speaking, the guard looked at Mu Chuyang with a puzzled expression. He asked him with some confusion, "Young Prince, didn't you say that you want to borrow this matter …?"
The guard stopped and did not finish his words. She quietly stood at the side and looked at Mu Chuyang.
Mu Chuyang shook his head, purposely lowered his voice, and said to the guards: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my ways, but the matter of the salt flow is entirely related to the nation, we cannot allow the common people to suffer through this disaster."
Seeing Mu Chuyang's confident look, the guard beside him did not have much else to say. He could only lower his head and bow to Mu Chuyang, then slowly withdrew himself.
After the guard left, Mu Chuyang started making things difficult for the both of them. He had made three agreements with Duan Yunfei to not let him hurt innocent people because of this. However, since ancient times, the victor was the king and the loser was the bandits. The battle did not end with a bloodbath. Mu Chuyang really did not know what to do.
The atmosphere outside the palace suddenly became nervous, but Yuwen Di was still sitting in the palace, so he did not know what was going to happen.
"Father, why did you call me here today?" Duan Yunfei sat on the side and extended his hand out to support his chin, turning his head to look at Yuwen Di.
Yuwen Di saw the scented sachet hanging around Duan Yunfei's waist. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to feel it, and while smiling he said to her: "The embroidery of this scented sachet is extremely exquisite, and is not something that an ordinary person can make."
As Yuwen Di spoke, he deliberately paused for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Duan Yunfei, intentionally muttering to herself for a moment, then continued: "The little rabbit on top of it is extremely lifelike, and actually seems more like the work of a Imperial Consort Yu."
Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Duan Yunfei immediately became happy and sat up. She tightly held the scented sachet on her waist and laughed as she said to Yuwen Di: "royal father is truly wise and farsighted, with a guess, this scented sachet was indeed sent to me a few days ago by Imperial Consort Yu when she sent someone to give it to me. Imperial Concubine's cooking skills are unrivaled, this son is truly joyous. "
Seeing Duan Yunfei's happy expression, Yuwen Di couldn't help but feel happy as well. He reached out her hand and gently patted Duan Yunfei's forehead, and then nodded her head to him as well, saying, "Imperial Consort Yu is not only an expert in culinary arts, your thoughts are also something that others don't have. In this palace, with her taking care of you, royal father can be considered to be relieved. "
Imperial Consort Yu had a clear understanding of the situation. For many years, she had never sought for favors, she only wished to live a peaceful life for herself. But she was clever. Furthermore, she had always treated Duan Yunfei as her own daughter. With such an intelligent and intelligent mother by her side at times, Yuwen Di felt slightly comforted.
However, Duan Yunfei didn't mind. She looked at Side of table Yuwen Di's imperial report and thought about what Mu Chuyang had told her a few days ago. She could not help but have some thoughts in her mind.
"Imperial Father, if we keep counting the days, since the Fifth Prince has already left the capital for so long, the Jiangnan Salt Luck should begin soon." Duan Yunfei asked Yuwen Di while standing in the Side of table and peeling an orange.
Yuwen Di did not realize that Duan Yunfei was trying to sound out his intentions, and only smiled faintly and nodded towards Duan Yunfei. That's right, the Fifth Prince has already been away from the capital for three months. This child can be considered to be very experienced. Although this is the first time he has taken over, he has done so in a way that no one can find fault with.
Yuwen Di spoke out from the side as he brought the peeled tangerine to Yuwen Di's mouth, listening to what he had to say. Two days ago, I received a report from the Public Office's Assistant Minister Li Han. He said that the salt transportation had already begun, and that the Fifth Prince was personally supervising the operation to transport the first batch of salt to the southwest.
Duan Yunfei listened from the side and lightly nodded her head.
