Chapter 275

All civil and military officials left immediately, only the prince Dongfang Yi stayed for a long time and was unwilling to leave.

The old emperor was surprised, "Is there anything else the prince can do?"

Dongfang Yi plopped down on his knees, kowtowed heavily to the old emperor and said: "Father, my son has seen that my father has lost a lot of weight due to the flood, and I feel really uncomfortable, so I am willing to share my father's worries , I also ask my father to hand over the errands of flood control to my son, and my son will definitely do his best and live up to expectations."

What Dongfang Yi said was extremely sincere, but the old emperor looked at his slightly anxious eyes, but he hesitated in his heart. In fact, he already had a more suitable candidate in his mind for this matter, and judging from Dongfang Shuo's performance today, this Among them, the teaching of that person is indispensable. Maybe these good strategies were originally thought up by that person.

Seeing the old emperor's hesitant eyes, Dongfang Yi hated Dongfang Shuo even more.

"I also hope that the emperor will carefully consider the proposal of the minister!"

The old emperor waved his hand, signaling Dongfang Yi to stand up and speak, and after a while, his drooping eyes lifted slightly.

"We will discuss this matter later. After all, it is of great importance. Let me think about it before I discuss it!"

After finishing speaking, the old emperor turned and left, while Dongfang Yi almost gritted his silver teeth angrily!
He is not willing!

Dongfang Yi didn't leave the palace directly, but sent someone to send a letter to Su Ho, telling her about today's court affairs, the intention was very obvious, just hoping to get Su Ho's help, so that he could take over smoothly The post of flood control.

After Su Ho heard the report, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he sneered endlessly, "Trash! I have already told him in advance that he has never been able to fight against Dongfang Shuo, he is really stupid!"

But complaints are nothing but complaints. She knows very well that once Dongfang Shuo takes over, Mo Xuan, who is closely related to him, will have the power to follow the dragon. It will be even more difficult to deal with them at that time. Therefore, even if she does not If you are willing to help Dongfang Yi, you have to help him too!
Su Ho lowered her eyes, quickly thinking about countermeasures in her mind, and after a while, she ordered: "Zhilan, order to go down, prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

The personal maid, Zhilan, quickly went down to get ready, so when the old emperor stepped into Concubine Su's bedroom, what he saw was a picture of a beauty coming out of the bath that made people's blood spurt.

Su He's jet-black long hair hangs over his shoulders, and he only wears a single dress on his shoulders. His snow-white skin is faintly visible, which makes people daydream endlessly.

The air was still filled with the indistinct fragrance of flowers, Su Ho raised his eyes lightly, his eyes shone like water, which made people intoxicated.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, the old emperor stopped involuntarily.

"Your Majesty is down..."

Su Ho opened his mouth slowly, exhaling like blue, on his slender white feet without shoes, stepping on the white fur that had been paved earlier, the heart of the seductive old emperor almost melted.

How can he control his lack of reason, he immediately took a step forward, and pulled Su Ho into his arms with bright eyes.

After some cloud and rain, Su Ho lazily raised his arms, while the old emperor lovingly caressed her lotus root-like arms.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty seems to be in a good mood today, but is there anything good?"

The old emperor closed his eyes in satisfaction, and when he heard Su Ho's question, the corners of his lips could not help but twitch slightly, "It is indeed a good thing. In the court today, Shuo'er's opinion on water control made me very happy."

"No wonder, the concubine said why the sad look on His Majesty's face disappeared today. It turned out that something that had been pondered for many days finally came to fruition, so the concubine would like to congratulate Your Majesty."

The old emperor laughed, "You can talk."

"How can the concubine know how to speak? What the concubine said is just the truth, but I don't know if there is a suitable candidate for the water control?"

The old emperor didn't doubt anything, but replied very naturally: "The prince asked me to let him take up this position, but I already have another candidate in my heart!"

Su Ho pretended to be curious: "I don't know who made His Majesty appreciate it so much?"

"Naturally, he is my good national teacher, and Wang Moxuan stands shoulder to shoulder! I thought that the matter of water control must belong to him!"

Hearing this, Su Ho's eyes quickly flashed a trace of haze, but he said calmly: "The prince is indeed a talent, but if this is the case, wouldn't the other princes have no chance to show it? Didn't your majesty still say , Is the suggestion put forward by the Sixteenth Prince very pertinent? If the matter is bypassed by the Sixteenth Prince and directly handed over to the State Teacher, will it cause dissatisfaction among the officials in the court? After all, the sixteenth Prince proposed the plan!"

Su Ho deliberately separated Dongfang Shuo and Mo Xuan, firstly to prevent the old emperor from being suspicious, and secondly to pave the way for the next thing.

When the old emperor heard it, he felt that it made sense, "Oh? Then according to the opinion of Aifei, who should be more suitable?"

Su Ho rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The concubine is just a girl, how can I know this, the concubine only knows that no matter who is going to control the water, it always needs silver taels, why don't all the people who make suggestions have a good test Fan, how about letting whoever wins deal with the flood?"

The old emperor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he became a little bit interested. The most scarce thing in water control every year is silver taels. After disasters, whenever the treasury is empty, Concubine Su's words touched his heart.

"If Concubine Ai has any good idea, just say it as soon as possible!"

Su He smiled and leaned into the old emperor's ear and said: "There is still more than a month before the flood season. Your Majesty might as well give the crown prince and the sixteen princes 1000 taels of silver each, and let them use these as costs, with a one-month deadline. Whoever earns more will naturally win, and the money earned will naturally go to the treasury! What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The old emperor laughed loudly and said: "My concubine is indeed my lucky star! Such a clever plan can be called a win-win situation, it is really wonderful!"

Su He smiled shyly, "Thanks to Your Majesty's praise, how can the petty thoughts of my daughters compare to His Majesty's majesty, my concubine is just thinking of sharing His Majesty's worries as much as possible."

The old emperor hugged Su Ho in a good mood.

Su Ho was lying in his arms, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

On the afternoon of the second day, the old emperor called Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Shuo into the palace together. According to what Concubine Su said earlier, each of them distributed 1000 taels of silver, making them more than anyone else who could raise more taels of silver in a month. , the winner will take the post of water control.

Hearing this, both Dongfang Shuo and the crown prince were relieved, especially the crown prince. From the look on the emperor's face, he knew that he must have a candidate in his heart. As for why he didn't announce it for so long, he must have thought about it.

But now, they'll have a month to compete!

On the same day, Dongfang Wing specially gave Su Ho a pendant made of Donghai Night Pearl to express his gratitude. After receiving the thank you gift, the smile on Su Ho's lips deepened.

"But is it possible for a bead to buy you? Don't forget our purpose!"

Feng Cha also heard about this, and rushed to the palace immediately, only to see Su Ho playing with the night pearl pendant with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Su Ho smiled slightly, put the pendant back into the brocade box, turned to look at Feng Cha, "What? You don't believe me?"

Feng Cha snorted coldly, "I don't want to remind you not to get carried away! No matter how you look at it, you seem to be helping the prince wholeheartedly now, right?"

"You are wrong!" Su Ho locked the brocade box into the cabinet, the cruelty in his eyes flashed away, "Now that the prince is weak, I naturally want to help him, only when his power and Mo Xuan can resist, Only then can we watch them fight to the detriment of both sides, and then reap the benefits!"

After hearing this, Feng Zha's expression became a little better, "It's good that you know what's in your mind, the only thing is, you have to make sure you can control the prince!

Su Ho smiled slightly, "Naturally!"

Feng Cha got Su Ho's guarantee, and his unhappiness was reduced, but he didn't want to continue to participate in the prince's affairs. Since Su Ho said that this matter should be handed over to her, Feng Cha felt at ease.

On the other side, Dongfang Shuo, who got the news, was actually worried at this time. He was young. Although he was a little mature because of Mo Xuan's teachings, he had never been involved in business. In the eyes of noble people, businessmen are always the least popular.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo's troubled appearance, Concubine Hui couldn't help sighing secretly, and brought herbal tea in front of him, "Suo'er, why don't you ask Prince Mo for help on this matter?"

Dongfang Shuo frowned in embarrassment, "Are you going to ask my husband for advice again? But I always feel that I have been too dependent on my husband recently. If this continues, won't I have to check everything for me? How can I grow up?"

Concubine Hui comforted her, "Shuo'er, it's good for you to want to grow up, but wanting to grow up doesn't mean the same thing as pushing the seedlings to grow up. You are still like a toddler, and you need help and guidance. And Lord Mo is the one who can lead you, you don't have to hold any grudges, when you really grow up, you will find that all these concerns are just your ridiculous self-esteem, but you have to know, in this palace Here, self-esteem is the most useless thing!"

Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly got up from the chair, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your advice, then I will go to the palace!"

When Dongfang Shuo arrived, Mo Xuan was admiring the flowers with Shen Hua. The harmony between the husband and wife was very enviable.

Before Dongfang Shuo could speak, Mo Xuan already knew his reason for coming.

"But you came here to compete with the prince?"

Dongfang Shuo blushed slightly, "That's right. Although Shuo has read a lot, he really doesn't know anything about business. I hope you can give me some pointers."

Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, "It's not that I don't want to teach you on purpose, it's just that I'm really not very good at this aspect. Although I know a little bit, it may not be able to help you win the game."

"How can this be done?" Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but look anxious, "Father said that the results of this competition will directly determine who will be in charge of water control. If it is done well, it must be very beneficial."

"Don't worry. Although this king is not very proficient in business, there is a person who is proficient in this matter beside him."

Dongfang Shuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and saluted respectfully: "Isn't it a great businessman? Please introduce me, sir!"

Mo Xuan curled his lips slightly, "It's far away from the sky, but it's close to our eyes!"
