“At the inn and all the way here, everything went smoothly without any hitches. There are over a hundred thousand disaster-affected people in the two counties. Each family received grain and silver. I’ve also made arrangements in low-lying areas to prevent recurrent disasters. We shouldn’t let them suffer every year. This time, the measures are more thorough.”

“You’ve done well.”

“I’ve learned from Tianshui Town. Ditches and large pits were dug to divert water.”

“For places prone to flooding, it’s better to dig channels on both sides, leading to north-south waterways. This way, the solution is more comprehensive.”

“Wife, how about we take a boat tour along the north-south waterways when we have the chance? I heard that even in the north, there’s no shortage of water these years, and many places are breeding fish and shrimp.”

“Perhaps when the time is right. Now is not suitable. Let’s wait until our son gets married and our daughter finds a husband.”

As they talked, the voice of Miss Sun came from behind.

“Mr. Yuan, what a coincidence.”

The couple exchanged glances, revealing a helpless expression. Without turning around, they continued walking.

With two maids, Miss Sun panted as she ran up, blocking their way.

“Mr. Yuan, Madam Yuan!”

After exchanging greetings, Qiao Mai looked at her.

“What is a young lady like you doing, wandering outside when it’s dark?”

“As it is the Royal Consort’s first visit, my father asked me to represent him in extending hospitality!”

“No need. My husband and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. We want to walk alone. Miss Sun, please don’t disturb us.” This direct sentence immediately silenced Miss Sun.

The couple passed by Miss Sun, continuing on their way. Miss Sun burst into tears loudly. She had never suffered such humiliation here.

“Mr. Yuan just glanced at me earlier. Why didn’t he show the infatuation in his eyes like other men?”

“Miss, Mr. Yuan lives in the capital. He must have seen many beauties.”

“I don’t believe there are so many beauties in the capital. I want to go to the capital. I want to follow him to the capital.”

“Miss, don’t cry. Your aunt has married to the capital. We can visit her as a pretext and go to the capital together?”

“Humph, what’s so good about her? She looks average, like a village woman. I don’t know why Mr. Yuan prefers her.”

Back in the inn where Yuan Jiaqi stayed, he was about to light a candle when Qiao Mai waved her hand. Two objects appeared on the table.

“Wife, what is this?”

“No need to light candles. The light is weak. Use this instead.”

She found two places, hung the objects high, and pressed a button, nearly blinding Yuan Jiayi.

“What is this?”

“It’s a solar light stick. It has an object covering it outside; otherwise, it would be even more dazzling.” “Does it absorb sunlight?”

“Yes.”

“The room is so bright now. Everything looks clear.”

Qiao Mai looked at the room’s facilities. “This room is damp. The bed is so small; how do we sleep?”

“It’s not small. You are used to a big bed. This room is the upper-class room, enough for both of us.”

She immediately set up a barrier for the room and pasted an anti-moisture talisman at the door. On the table, she put a few fruits and looked at Yuan Jiaqi, noticing his damp appearance.

A large wooden bathtub appeared on the ground, filled with water that seemed to emit a certain gas.

“Husband, you’ve worked hard. Take a bath?”

Although he was used to these sudden occurrences, Yuan Jiaqi was still taken aback.

“Go in and have a good soak. Tomorrow morning, you’ll surely feel refreshed.”

Yuan Jiayi blushed. Usually, he attended to his wife’s bath, and now, it was his turn. He felt a bit embarrassed.

Qiao Mai helped him undress, and he groaned comfortably in the tub.

“Wife, did you add medicine to this too?” “A bit.”

“No wonder. I feel so comfortable all over.

Qiao Mai handed him a banana, peeling one for herself.

“Wife, how about accompanying me to the court tomorrow?”

“I will prepare lunch for you. Let’s also have dinner together at the restaurant?”

“Hehe, it’s great to have my wife around.”

After a short conversation, the man fell asleep in the tub. Qiao Mai wiped him dry, placed him on the bed, cleaned the room, and lay beside him.

The room was now dry. She took out a blanket from her space and laid it over his stomach.

Looking at her husband’s peaceful sleeping face, Qiao Mai realized that without her, he probably couldn’t sleep soundly. When she was by his side, or when they were at home, he could truly relax and sleep well.

When Yuan Jiaqi opened his eyes the next morning, he saw a table of his favorite breakfast.

“Awake?”

“Wife, you prepared breakfast?”

“You are from the north. Southern breakfast is definitely not to your taste. I borrowed someone else’s kitchen to make it. Get up and eat.”

Wearing clean clothes left on the bed, Yuan Jiaqi stretched lazily.

After washing up and sitting at the table, the couple had breakfast. Yuan Jiaqi saw a basket of stuffed buns and meat.

“Is this for them?” “Yes, your subordinates have worked hard. You can let them have a good meal.”

“Thank you, wife!”

Yuan Jiayi covered the cloth on the basket, picked it up, and left. Qiao Mai closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and followed him with her spiritual power.

Several subordinates were waiting outside the inn. When they saw Yuan Jiaqi carrying a basket, they immediately crowded around. “Sir, is this from Madam Yuan for us?”

“It’s a deal for you. Eat well after finishing the work.”

“Thank you! ”

Each of them held a stuffed bun, wolfing them down.

“Madam Yuan has great culinary skills. These stuffed buns with meat are too delicious. We don’t have this in the south.” “Eating can’t shut your mouths.”

“Mr. Yuan, I’ll pick you up to the court.”

Hearing this voice, Yuan Jiaqi felt annoyed. He looked at Miss Sun, who was blushing.

“Have some decency. I really dislike you and hope you won’t appear in front of me again.”

“Mr. Yuan, how can you speak so heartlessly?”

Hearing this, Miss Sun was heartbroken. He didn’t take care of her pride in front of so many people.

“I’ll say it again. I have a wife, and I won’t take concubines. Whether you genuinely like me or seek higher status, I have no interest. Please, young lady, stay at home and focus on your duties.”

“Mr. Yuan!”

“If you persist in entangling with me, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“What’s so good about her?”

“You are not worthy to compare with my wife. You are not even worthy to carry her shoes.”

Several subordinates wanted to laugh. They saw the county magistrate’s daughter pestering Yuan Jiaqi daily, but Yuan Jiaqi didn’t even give her a proper look.

Even so, she has not given up. Her face was as thick as a city wall.

Regardless of whether she was heartbroken, Yuan Jiaqi went to the court with his subordinates. He scolded the county magistrate when he saw him.

“Take care of your daughter. If she causes my wife to be angry because of her entanglement, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The county magistrate’s face turned pale. He hurriedly bowed to apologize,

“Yes, I will discipline her properly.”

When Miss Sun caught up to the court, she was blocked by the bailiff and taken away.

With one less nuisance around, Yuan Jiaqi felt much more relaxed working in the court.

Qiao Mai retracted her spiritual power, with a smile on her lips, thinking about what dishes to cook for her husband and his subordinates for lunch.

Simple, delicious, and hassle-free.

At this time, the capital was as lively as during the New Year. The neighboring countries had sent a letter to the emperor, proposing marriage alliances to promote friendship between the kingdoms.

During Qiao Mai’s absence, envoys from various countries arrived in the capital one after another.

Now, there were many foreign envoys with strange costumes on the streets. The people looked at them with eyes full of resentment.

These shameless people had just lost the war. Yet, they shamelessly came here for a marriage alliance.. Who gave them the courage?
