like a tattered sack, being dragged back to his room by several girls.Fortunately, the base population wasn't large. In this converted classroom, only the original owner and her sister lived."Lin, wha...Gu Qian had bullied both the young master and lady of the Wang family within a single day, and publicly humiliated Wang Xiang's face. This matter spread like wind to those who needed to know.

Although the original empress was somewhat willful, she treated the ministers and their families well on the surface. Therefore, everyone thought this was a sign that the female emperor was displeased with the prime minister and was going to make a move against the Wang family.

The Prime Minister Wang thought so too.

So when the Third Princess, Yang Mingzhu, came looking for him, he met her without a second thought.

"Prime Minister Wang, please help me," Yang Mingzhu bowed.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't treat an old minister with such grand courtesy," Wang Xiang and Yang Mingzhu all said, bowing deeply. Then, they feigned humility and reached out to help the prince up.

"Wang Chengxiang, the pillar of the country, this is what he deserves." Yang Mingzhu didn't care about his arrogance because she was reborn and knew Wang Chengxiang's lifespan. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't live for many years.

Wang Chengxiang beckoned Yang Mingzhu to take a seat and sighed, "Ai, Your Highness overpraises me. I wonder what brings you to see this old minister"

Yang Mingzhu directly said: "Please, Wang Cheng, lend a hand and help me secure the position of Tai-nü!"

Wang, the prime minister, twitched slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is a treasonous act..."

"Wang Xiang, it is not that I desire the position of the princess, but I do not want Anlan to suffer humiliation again."

The Prime Minister Wang looked moved and said, “Your Highness is sincere towards An Lan. I am ashamed, at my age, I can't even protect my own family.”

"Prime Minister Wang, please don't say such things. Your contributions to the court and the people are well-known to all."

"Your Highness, the old minister is ashamed!"

Yang Mingzhu and Wang Xiang, an elder and a younger one, started a pattern of business boasting. The two had a pleasant conversation and quickly reached an alliance.

Yang Mingzhu had just been reborn and was currently only focused on taking the position of the Eldest Princess. She didn't intend to harm the Empress Dowager, and she hadn't planned to conspire with Prime Minister Wang so soon. However, today Gu Qian gave her a helping hand.

This mission was successful, Yang Mingzhu happily returned to the palace.

Gu Qian listened to the message brought by the servant, secretly smiling.

Yang Mingzhu was too anxious. The Empress should know she had gone to the Wang family by now. Plus, she had put on eye medicine earlier today. Naturally, the Empress would be wary of her daughter.

Gu Qian wasn't in a hurry. He slept soundly and peacefully, and after waking up, he went to court.

Being a palace woman isn't easy either. You have to go to court early in the morning, after court you have to attend cultural lessons, and after cultural lessons you have to practice martial arts... It's even worse than nine years of compulsory education.

Gu Qian naturally didn't understand court politics. Attending court was just standing there yawning. Her demeanor naturally displeased the officials.

When the session came to an end, Wang Cheng, a junior official, jumped out and scolded: "Your Highness, as the princess, how can you fall asleep in court!"

Gu glanced at the official and ignored him.

She wouldn't engage in pointless bickering with these bureaucrats. It was exhausting and unprofitable, a losing proposition.

Gu Qian stood directly in front of the hall, facing the Empress Dowager and said: "Mother Empress, this son heard that a locust plague has occurred in the southwest. After much thought last night, I might have a plan to solve the disaster."

The Empress came with interest, waving her hand at the official who was still speaking, "You step back first and listen to Tai Nu's suggestions. You bicker about this locust plague every day but don't come up with any good solutions. If you keep arguing, get out of here!"

That official, after a moment's hesitation, stepped back. Gu Qian opened his mouth and said: "Let the local people raise ducks, raise a lot of them. In less than a month, the locust plague will surely be gone!"

It is also best to tell the whole nation that locusts are delicious and good for the kidneys, and they may even have to be artificially raised in order to survive in the future.

The Empress was surprised and said, "What kind of method is this"

Gu Qian said, "Mother Empress, I have read many ancient books and manuals. I found that places where ducks are raised experience less locust plagues because ducks love to eat them, so even if there is a locust disaster, it will disappear quickly."

"My Lady, where did you get this ancient book This method is simply not feasible!"
