After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 253 Be Prepared

As soon as Hui Chengyuan walked out of the imperial study, he saw Yuan Man walking towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "A Man, why did you enter the palace?"

"What happened?"

Yuan shook his head, "Let's go inside and talk."

Hui Chengyuan helped her back into the imperial study.

"I haven't finished what I was saying yet." The emperor knew who came in without even raising his head.

If it were someone else, Manager Cao would report first, but only he could come in whenever he wanted.

"Father, I have something to say." Yuan Man bowed slightly.

"Oh, it's my daughter-in-law. You are heavy, so don't be bound by these conventional etiquette. Come and sit down." The emperor immediately pointed to the chair next to him.

Then he asked Manager Cao to take away the chessboard on the table.

"Thank you, father." After Yuan Man sat down, he signaled his attendants to leave.

The emperor waved his hand, and after the palace maids and eunuchs had left, he asked, "Tell me what's going on. We have to clear the place before we can tell."

Yuan Man glanced at Hui Chengyuan and said, "Father, I have received news that this year will be a cold winter, so we must prepare in advance."

The emperor frowned slightly, "Last winter, Xiao'er said there might be a cold winter, so we prepared in advance, but the cold winter did not come."

"And you brought it up again this year. Where did you get this information?"

"If I say it was a sign from heaven, will you believe it, father?" Yuan Man looked at him steadily.

The emperor listened and fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Man immediately said, "Otherwise, how would I know what will happen in the future?"

"For things like this, you have to be prepared, otherwise it will be too late to prevent them when the time comes."

"Father, I had people prepare a lot of winter clothes and quilts last year. I was not able to use them last year, but I can use them this year."

"As for material matters, I can help with the donations, but the rest depends on my father and the crown prince."

"For example, we need to build and reinforce the houses of the people, or notify the people in various places to defend themselves."

Hui Chengyuan looked at her for a long time, "Ah Man, does that mean the flood season will come after the cold winter?"

Yuan Man shook his head, "Although I didn't get any hint, it should be."

"I told you before that after a severe drought there would be a severe flood. Now two years have passed, and it is time for a flood."

"Fortunately, the river channel has been built, so there shouldn't be too many problems. The current problem is getting through this cold winter."

Hui Chengyuan nodded and said, "Aman, you can no longer donate winter clothes and quilts. Chaoyan will buy them from you."

"It's okay. You know I don't need this little money." Yuanman smiled.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

Yuan Man raised an eyebrow at Hui Chengyuan, motioning him to look at his father.

Hui Chengyuan was helpless, the national treasury was clearly full but they still refused to contribute a single cent.

Yuan Man smiled and said, "By the way, I have something else to say."

"I have received news that the Emperor of Yun State has dug a mausoleum beneath Xingnan City and is still digging it."

"If he continues digging, the entire Xingnan City will collapse."

Hui Chengyuan looked at her, "Are you serious?"

"When have I ever told a lie?" Yuan Man rolled his eyes at him.

"He dug the underground city to raise his own soldiers."

"If Xingnan City collapses, how many civilians will be killed or injured?"

The emperor asked in confusion: "He has been the emperor for so long, wouldn't he know that the underground palace can be dug anywhere else but in the city? Why did he dig the underground palace in the city?"

Yuan Man shook his head, "Then I don't know."

"Father, there are people from Yun Country in Kyoto. Should we inform them about this matter?"

"Although the internal strife in Yun State is their own business, the people in that city are no small matter."

The emperor nodded, "Indeed, whether it is war or infighting, the most innocent are the people."

"Xiao'er, you have to find a way to get someone else to reveal the news to the people of Yun Country. You can't tell them by yourself, or we, the people of An Country, can't tell them."

Yuan Man glanced at Hui Chengyuan and said, "I have already arranged someone to go to Yun Country and see if that city can be saved."

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "It all depends on what the Emperor of Yun State does with Xingnan City."

The emperor looked at them and said, "It's a good thing that you care about the people of the world, but you must not act too hastily."

"Yes, Father."

Yuan Man finished talking about the matter, and the rest was discussed by the father and son, so he stood up and said, "Then I will go to see the mother, you two can talk slowly."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, let Lao Cao take you there."

"No need, father. This is not my first time entering Changle Palace." Yuan Man stood up, bowed, and left the imperial study.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Yuan Man looked at the person in front of him who was bowing and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

"You are busy, I will leave first.

Zhou Kui took a step back and said, "Your Highness, please take care."

Yuan Man nodded slightly at him and walked towards Changle Palace.

Zhou Kui watched her walk away, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then walked into the imperial study.

The emperor saw him and said with a smile, "Lord Zhou is here, come here quickly."

"Your Majesty, your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Kui bowed before walking towards them.

"Your Majesty, you summoned me to the palace. What do you want me to do?"

The emperor looked at Hui Chengyuan and said, "This is what I want to do. I want to set up an inspection department to inspect the country on behalf of the emperor. You should compile this quickly and then decide on the official residence."

"Inspection Office?" Zhou Kui looked at Hui Chengyuan. He knew without much guessing that this was what the prince meant.

The emperor motioned for Hui Chengyuan to speak himself.

Hui Chengyuan had no choice but to explain to Zhou Kui, "This Inspection Office is not about the number of people. Anyone who enters the Inspection Office must be personally selected by this prince and my father."

Zhou Kui nodded, "Yes, I understand. I will complete it before the imperial examination."

When inspecting the prefectures and counties on behalf of the emperor, one would naturally be appointed by the emperor.

Yuan Man walked into Changle Palace and shouted with a smile: "Mother, I am here."

The queen was chatting with some ladies, and when she heard the shout, she laughed, "The Crown Princess is here."

"Aman, come here quickly, the Queen Mother is talking about you with the ladies."

Yuan Man walked in and glanced at the ladies, all of whom were of the same age as the queen. "What did your mother and the ladies say to me?"

The queen waved at her, "Come and sit here, mother."

"Why did you come to the palace today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yuan Man sat down next to her and said, "I'm going to the palace to talk to my father. After that, I'll come to see my mother."

The Queen smiled and said, "I was just saying that you have been too lazy to go out since you got pregnant. Why are you here in Changle Palace today?"

"They are telling the queen mother about gossip outside. Madam Ji of Marquis Jicheng said that rumors about you are being spread outside, and they are very vivid."

"Oh!" Yuan Man looked over and saw the lady with evasive eyes.

"Madam Ji, please tell me what the rumor is. Let me hear it too."
