Chapter 158 A Perfect Match

Several young women stood in the vast training ground, but from afar, Rong Zhen's gaze immediately and accurately landed on Yun Wei.

Today, she was wearing a purple outfit that perfectly accentuated her curves. Her hair was tied up high, and her fair skin seemed to glow in the sunlight. She looked so dashing that it was impossible to look away.

When Yunwei saw him approaching, she didn't say anything, but just stared at her. Her face was slightly flushed, and she coughed softly.

Rong Zhen then came to his senses, lowered his head and smiled to cover up his embarrassment.

"Princess, the master has just returned to the capital and came straight here to see you," Sang Qing explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei noticed that Rong Zhen looked travel-worn and had a hint of fatigue between his brows.

It turns out that he really did leave Beijing during this period.

"You just got back from outside?" she asked softly.

"Mm." Rong Zhen nodded.

Just as Yun Wei was about to say something more, the voices of Xuan Yuanjing and the other two bowing rang out, "Greetings, Regent."

Rong Zhen raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "No need for formalities."

“Master, we think we’ve grasped some of the moves you just taught us. We can practice on our own first. Why don’t you go and have a chat with the Regent?” Huang Ying said considerately to Yun Wei.

"Master?" Rong Zhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Wei, his eyes filled with surprise.

Yun Wei paused, somewhat embarrassed, "The two of them insisted on calling me master."

"It's only been a few days, and Princess Rong'an has already taken on a disciple." Rong Zhen's voice carried a slight smile.

Yunwei sensed the teasing in his words and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Unexpectedly, the man actually let out a low laugh.

Xuan Yuanjing had already witnessed the way the two interacted in private, so she wasn't surprised.

However, this was the first time Huang and Liang had met.

Seeing that the usually aloof and distant regent was not as dignified and unapproachable as he appeared in private was already quite surprising. So, hearing him laugh at that moment only added to the astonishment.

Yunwei noticed Huang Liang's surprise and felt somewhat helpless, fearing that the Regent's prestige would be lost. She whispered, "Let's go to the front hall to talk."

"Okay." Rong Zhen responded gently and followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

Watching the two figures walk away, Liang Tian came back to her senses and exclaimed, "Master and the Regent seem to be a match made in heaven."

“Who can disagree?” Huang Ying nodded in agreement. “Moreover, the Regent showed no airs at all in front of Master, which shows how much he values ​​Master.”

"That's because Sister Yun deserves to be treated well," Xuan Yuanjing said sincerely.

At first, she didn't think much of Yunwei.

They thought she was just an ordinary woman from the State of Wei, and even wanted to use defeating her to dampen the spirits of the State of Wei. Little did they know that it was she who was defeated.

However, she was completely convinced of her defeat to Yun Wei.

Because she is really strong.

After all, even Ouyang Kui, the number one warrior of their Moon Kingdom, was no match for her.

“A capable person will be respected and loved by others wherever they are,” Huang Ying concluded. The other two wholeheartedly agreed.

While the three continued practicing swordsmanship in the training ground, Yunwei and Rongzhen had already come out of the training ground and arrived at the front hall.

"I had no idea you had built such a large training ground in your backyard," Rong Zhen said with a sigh as he looked back.

He was a regular at Qingyi Garden.

But the place she spends most of her time is the front hall; she has only been to Qingxue Courtyard, where she lives, once.

If Uncle Chen hadn't brought him to the training ground today, he wouldn't have known that Yun Wei had built such a large training ground in her residence.

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly. As her fiancé, he had failed somewhat.

The Regent is reflecting on his actions.

Yunwei glanced at him with amusement, "There's a lot you don't know. Besides, I've never even been to the backyard of your palace."

“If you’d like, I’ll take you on a tour now. You’ll be staying here eventually anyway, so it’s good to get familiar with it beforehand,” Rong Zhen said with a serious expression.

Yun Wei choked for a moment, looking at the man's faint expectation, yet he insisted on putting on a serious face, but she didn't call him out on it. Instead, she said, "Next time."

Seeing that she did not refuse directly, Rong Zhen's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased.

"By the way, what have you been doing all this time?" Yunwei asked, noticing the undisguised fatigue on his face.

Speaking of this matter, Rong Zhen frowned and looked very grim. "The people of Yangzhou suffered from the floods this year and almost lost their entire harvest. The imperial court allocated disaster relief funds early on to help the people of Yangzhou, but I received news that the disaster relief funds did not reach the people and many people starved to death. I suspected that the officials were embezzling funds, so I secretly went to investigate."

"What was the result?" Yun Wei asked hurriedly, her heart tightening at the question.

Among all the prefectures and counties this year, Yangzhou was the most severely affected by the disaster. She had also heard about it. Earlier, she had even asked Steward Ding to send a batch of grain there in the name of Qianjintang.

But according to the news brought back by Steward Ding, the people of Yangzhou have received disaster relief funds from the imperial court, and the situation has stabilized.

It now appears that Steward Ding only saw the surface.

Rong Zhen's brows were covered with frost as he said sarcastically, "Those officials did a very good job of putting on a show. They set up many resettlement points in the city to accommodate the disaster victims, but I went to see them. The porridge they were given to the disaster victims had hardly any rice in it. Meanwhile, the disaster victims who were unable to enter the city's resettlement points were still displaced and homeless. The disaster relief money never even reached their hands."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei was also shocked and furious. Those corrupt officials truly deserved to die.

"How are the people of Yangzhou doing now?" she asked with concern.

“I have executed the officials involved on the spot, and I have also arranged for grain to be transferred from other prefectures and counties. This time, we must make sure that the grain is distributed to the people. The weather is getting colder and colder, so at the very least, we must ensure that they can get through this winter,” Rong Zhen said.

Yunwei could tell from his simple words that there must have been many twists and turns involved.

Those officials who dared to embezzle disaster relief funds must have something to rely on, and it will not be easy to bring them to justice.

"In addition, the wealthy households in Yangzhou, upon learning that I was personally involved in this matter, generously donated money to the people. The situation in Yangzhou has now temporarily stabilized." Rong Zhen said this with a stern look in his eyes. "However, it is time to clean up some officials in the court."

Yun Wei nodded and said nothing more, only saying, "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Rong Zhen's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. "How does Princess Rong'an wish to help?"

"Although I can't be of much help, I can be generous with food and medicine this time," Yun Wei said earnestly.

Rong Zhen paused, reached out and touched her hair, sighed, and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Yunwei noticed his unusual behavior and asked softly.
