Inside the Imperial Study, Yuwen Di was handling government affairs. The table was piled high with reports from the various officials, and among them, there were nine out of ten that talked about the Southern River.
Every autumn, there would be a flood in some areas of the south of the Yangtze River. This time, however, it was especially severe. Many towns and villages were submerged by the flood, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River were even more so.
Among them, a memorial caught Yuwen Di's attention. It said that the parents had secretly hidden the money given by the imperial government to provide relief, and said that this was not the first time this had happened.
This caused Yuwen Di to be extremely furious. Ever since he had ascended to the throne, within the imperial court, everything was bright and clear, and the officials did not dare to form an alliance. However, they did not expect that there would actually be a parent that dared to do this kind of thing under his nose.
Yuwen Di looked at these memorials angrily, and angrily threw the inkstone on the table out.
Right at this time, Duan Yunfei walked in. The moment Duan Yunfei entered the imperial study room, she saw Eunuch Li picking up the inkstone that Yuwen Di had thrown onto the ground. After sizing up Yuwen Di's expression, she knew that Yuwen Di must be extremely unhappy now, and it was unknown who knocked him over.
"Why is royal father unhappy? Can you talk to Yun Fei about it, and perhaps Yun Fei can even share some of the burden for royal father? " Before Duan Yunfei entered the imperial study, he specifically told the eunuch guarding the imperial study not to report to Yuwen Di. Firstly, she didn't want it to affect Yuwen Di's work, and secondly, she was here today for her own marriage, so that it would have an unexpected effect.
Seeing that it was Duan Yunfei, Yuwen Di's face immediately changed, and revealed a kind smile. Why was Yun Fei here, why did no one report him? These people are truly incompetent. Eunuch Li, do you know what I mean? "
Yuwen Di's words were said because no one informed them, and speaking to Eunuch Li was just asking Eunuch Li to punish the people under his command. After all, Eunuch Li was the one who brought all these eunuchs out, so Eunuch Li was naturally in charge of everything that happened.
"Your servant obeys the decree."
Duan Yunfei saw that Yuwen Di was getting serious, and immediately tried to defend the eunuch outside, in case he gets punished because of him.
"Royal father, Yun Fei wanted to give you a pleasant surprise, which is why he did not send anyone to report to you."
After Yuwen Di heard this, he laughed, Duan Yunfei really was a happy child to him.
"Since that's the case, then let's not act rashly. Yun Fei came to see royal father today because of something? "
There had to be a reason behind everything. Although Duan Yunfei and Yuwen Di were close, they did not come to the Treasure Hall for no reason, and since she was able to find him when she was working, there must be a reason.
"What Father said, daughter is only missing you, you're saying this as if daughter had other intentions." Having lived in the palace since he was young, Duan Yunfei had more or less been affected by the environment of the palace's flattery. If it was in front of others, Duan Yunfei would be disdainful to say all these, but since the target was Yuwen Di, he would be happy to coax him with these words.
Sure enough, after Yuwen Di heard what Duan Yunfei said, she forgot about the things in the imperial report. However, Yuwen Di was too clear of Duan Yunfei, if Duan Yunfei truly wanted him to come, then she would have definitely come while Yuwen Di was in the palace. After all, over these many years, Duan Yunfei had not disturbed Yuwen Di from his work.
"Eunuch Li, you may leave first." The reason why Yuwen Di had sent Eunuch Li away was so that Duan Yunfei could speak the truth. Although Eunuch Li wasn't someone who liked to gossip, in order to let Duan Yunfei feel at ease, Yuwen Di had still cleared out all the outsiders.
"Your servant obeys the decree." Eunuch Li knew why Yuwen Di was doing this, so he naturally did not dare to disturb the royal father and daughter's conversation in the imperial study. It was not a good thing to know too much, and it was not a good thing to stay in the palace.
"Alright, now only you and your royal father are here. Just say what you want to say, and don't be afraid to say anything."
When Yuwen Di took Eunuch Li away, Duan Yunfei already knew that her words revealed a flaw, but it was fine. After all, Yuwen Di would not punish her for it.
"Father really sees through me? However, before this child can speak of this, Royal Father must first answer this child's question, right? "
"Your question?" Yuwen Di did not understand. He did not remember the question Duan Yunfei asked after entering the room.
"Your son just asked your father why he was angry, did you forget?"
Yuwen Di had really forgotten about this matter. After all, he was already in a great mood due to Duan Yunfei's "flattery".
"It's just a matter of government affairs that has annoyed my father." Yuwen Di had always thought that if Duan Yunfei was not a woman, his seat would definitely belong to Duan Yunfei, not because he was fond of Duan Yunfei, but because Duan Yunfei's talent, intelligence, ability, and talent were far better than that of the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince. It was a pity that Duan Yunfei was a princess, and although Yuwen Di was able to converse with her on matters of government, in the end, he would feel that there was no one left to follow.
In the past few days, Duan Yunfei had been troubled over the marriage and did not care about the matters at the imperial court. Although the imperial harem could not be run, over these years, Yuwen Di had still discussed some matters with Duan Yunfei.
"Did something happen?" Duan Yunfei had never seen Yuwen Di get so angry before, but after thinking about it, she did not know what was going on.
"Why do girls always ask their parents about things? Do you think that your royal father is too old to handle these matters? "
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be terrified, but Duan Yunfei was different. She knew that Yuwen Di was just joking with her, and was not blaming her.
Duan Yunfei pinched Yuwen Di's shoulders, curled her lips, and said, "Royal Father would have told my daughter in the past. Now, don't you think about 'the water poured out by my married daughter', and aren't willing to talk about this with your daughter anymore? royal father has truly hurt my daughter's heart. "
Duan Yunfei would do whatever it took to treat her. Didn't Yuwen Di tease her? Then she would retort, as if she had received a cold treatment.
Yuwen Di saw that he couldn't win Duan Yunfei, so he did not continue to tease her.
"You sure are eloquent. How could royal father think like this? You better not wrongly accuse my royal father, even if you are to be married off in the future, you will always be my beloved daughter, how can my royal father treat you coldly? Don't think about it. It was just a imperial report that he had seen today, and it only mentioned a few things that had annoyed his father. Father didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry about it. If you knew about this, you would have thought about how to handle it. Royal Father will not bear for you to overexert yourself over this. "
