The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Su Yan walked in half-doubtfully. It was a long passageway. The passageway was dark, and there wasn’t even any candlelight.

The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, “You must be poor.”

Yuyan said, “This is a sense of mystery.”

Su Yan only felt that he was trying to twist the truth. She no longer had any hope for this shop.

However, she could not help but exclaim when she walked in.

This place was really too beautiful. She did not know how Yuyan did it. When she looked up from inside, she saw the sky. It was much more beautiful than what she saw outside. There were many small rooms here, and each small room could only accommodate two people. The top of the head was open.

Yuyan said proudly, “The starry sky will be even more beautiful at night here.”

Su Yan could already imagine it.

Nalan Cui said coldly, “Now you can tell us what you want to do.”

Su Yan also recovered from the beautiful scenery and waited for his answer.

Yuyan led them to the innermost room in no hurry.

There was a black shelf that was half the height of a person in this room. On the shelf was a cylinder-like thing, but no one knew what it was.

Other than that, there was only a small table in the room.

After Yuyan gestured for them to sit down, he said, “Your Majesty, do you think the drought in the south is a good thing or a bad thing?”

Nalan Cui frowned and said, “Of course it’s a bad thing.”

Yuyan said again, “What if there is a flood after the drought?”

Nalan Cui understood what he meant, but it was unlikely.

Yuyan didn’t wait for him to answer and said directly, “I have always been observing the weather and can be considered to have made some achievements. After this drought, there will definitely be a flood. I don’t think I need to tell you what will happen after this flood.”

At this time, Nalan Cui reacted and said, “A plague.”

If there really was a flood in the south, the capital would be the first to be implicated. This was also the reason why Yuyan insisted on repairing the canal.

However, Nalan Cui had always been an atheist. It would be difficult for him to believe in any celestial phenomenon.

Yuyan saw through his suspicion and stopped his usual teasing. He said seriously, “Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I don’t dare to say anything without confidence.”

Nalan Cui could only nod and say, “Let’s do as you say.”

A trace of joy flashed across Yuyan’s eyes. He had been hiding it because he was afraid of being stopped. He also knew that his reason was far-fetched.

Then, he sincerely bowed to Nalan Cui and said, “The Imperial Kingdom is truly fortunate to have such a wise monarch.”

Seeing his sincerity, Nalan Cui raised his eyebrows slightly. Most of the people in the imperial court looked down on him, but this phenomenon was about to end.

Su Yan did not understand too much, but she knew the severity of the situation. She said worriedly, “However, there are so many people. We don’t have enough food.”

Yuyan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Princess Consort. Guang Pingwang will probably be back soon. Once he is back, these refugees will naturally have a place to go. Moreover, there will be people who will pay for the food.”

Su Yan still did not quite understand, but looking at Yuyan, she felt that he was quite amazing.

The next day, all the grain and oil trading companies in the capital adjusted their prices and restored them to their previous state.

When the news was received, Nalan Cui was in the imperial study with Su Yan.

Su Yan smiled and said, “Yuyan is really amazing.”

Then, only did she realize that he was warning those grain and oil trading companies when he was recruiting workers with great fanfare yesterday.

These people naturally would not buy grain that had doubled the price of the trading companies when they had a place to obtain grain. In this way, they could only lower the price.

Nalan Cui read the book and said without raising his head, “You have underestimated this imperial envoy.”

After a few days, Su Yan finally understood what he meant.

Su Yan looked at the bills in her hand and asked in confusion, “This is for me?”
