A series of projects led by Song Qingyue were a great success in the capital, and the drought in Shanxi was handled extremely appropriately. Li Zhao's reputation as the eldest prince rose to a higher level.

The prince who had some ideas left could no longer afford to take action.

How easy is it to achieve meritorious service?

The first is that opportunities are not easy to come by, and the second is that even if you have the opportunity, you may not be able to handle it well.

Then the only remaining way to quickly strengthen one's own power is to marry - that is, to have a concubine.

Li Yi's choice was naturally to force his mother and grandfather to spend all their money to arrange a decent mansion for him as soon as possible.

Old Mrs. Ning was willing to help Li Yi. To be more precise, when little Ning cried with the old lady, the old lady became soft-hearted and wanted to satisfy her little daughter's request no matter what. However, the head of the family, Lord Ning, was unwilling. In fact, he also

If I didn't express my disagreement, I would just stay in the Northeast and pretend to be dead. If I wrote to him, I would never get a reply.

In the end, the old lady had no choice but to spend most of her dowry to subsidize Li Yi.

But even so, the money is still not enough.

So Li Yi forced Meng Yuyan to hand over the dowry, and they had quarrels every day, making the dormitory uneasy.

One day in mid-May, Li Zhao, who had just returned to the capital from Shanxi, was called by his grandmother to the Duke's Mansion in Zhenbei.

When Li Zhao returned to his mansion in the evening, he took the initiative to report to his wife: "I was invited by my grandfather today. Guess what happened?"

"It's about the second prince's palace." Song Qingyue, who was writing a new mathematical masterpiece "Basics of Calculus" blurted out without raising his head.

"Tsk! My wife is really smart!" Li Zhao walked up to Song Qingyue, moved his buttocks, pushed her to the side, and sat down next to her, insisting on squeezing a chair with her. He was so childish.

Song Qingyue raised her head and rolled her eyes at the doggy man. Li Zhao smiled indifferently and hugged her to sit on his lap.

Song Qingyue shook her head, just sat in Li Zhao's arms, lowered her head and continued to write her own.

"Guess what my grandmother said to me?" Li Zhao hugged her and asked.

"What are you talking about? I'm not asking you to come and tell me to buy a house for Li Yi at a cheaper price, right?"

Li Zhao laughed loudly, hugged Song Qingyue tightly and kissed her hard: "Why is Yue'er so smart?"

Song Qingyue grimaced, with an expression of disbelief. How could people be so thick-skinned!

"Just continue to live in the dormitory. Why are you moving in such a hurry?" Song Qingyue asked again.

"Of course I am anxious to have a concubine, otherwise what will I do if I steal all the limelight in the court?" Li Zhao smiled, without any trace of nervousness or unhappiness on his face.

Song Qingyue stretched out her hand and pinched Li Zhao's cheeks on both sides, and pulled hard on both sides, distorting his handsome face: "What are you so proud of, what are you so proud of! Are you so dismissive? What on earth is your conceited temperament like?"

Can we change it sometime?”

"My lady, please forgive me! I made a mistake for my husband!" Li Zhao surrendered very numbly, "It hurts! Madam!"

But he started acting coquettishly again and couldn't bear to look at her!

Song Qingyue glared at him and let go: "Humph! I hate it! Why are you so annoying, Li Zhao?!"

"Nonsense, I'm obviously very lovable! Especially to please my wife!" The man said and began to act up and down.

However, half a month later, Song Qingyue sent an invitation to Meng Yuyan, asking her to come over to discuss matters in the palace.

For no other reason than that, the couple quarreled and fought every day over matters related to the palace. The key was that they didn't just fight in their own room. Meng Yuyan was so bullied that she came to Song Qingyue's room to cry.

When she came over to cry, Li Yi came after her and scolded her. The two even had a fight in Wufangzhai.

No one would believe this couple if they said they didn't do it on purpose.

Guo Yun'er must have suffered a lot of harassment, and in the end she probably couldn't bear the harassment. Before the decoration of the new palace was completed, she hurriedly moved Li Chang and the concubine Zhuang away.

As a result, Song Qingyue on East Road was harassed more violently.

Song Qingyue had no other choice, so she took the initiative to express her willingness to help the second family solve their housing problem.

"Sister-in-law! What do you want from me today?" Meng Yuyan arrived in a beautiful manner early in the morning, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Song Qingyue took a picture of the floor plan of the house on the table, pointed to a certain part of the map of the capital hanging on the screen and said: "I have chosen this house for you. Although it is outside the imperial city, it is far away from the imperial city.

The city is very close. If you are willing to spend money to build a taller building, you can still see the view of the park. The house is not too small. There is a small garden with a lake in the front, then a flower hall and study room. In the back house, you

There is a big courtyard, the second brother has a big courtyard, and in the future his two concubines will each have a small courtyard. There are still three courtyards left. Those Liang Yuan’s concubines can live in them even if they squeeze in, how about that?"

Meng Yuyan saw in the picture that her yard was much bigger than the two concubines', and she immediately smiled happily and rolled her eyes: "Hey, sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful! What's the price?"

"Not expensive." Song Qingyue showed a smile that made the hair on Meng Yuyan's body stand up, "Nine hundred and fifty taels of silver...a month."

As expected, Meng Yuyan's smile disappeared with the last three words.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Let us rent it?"

Song Qingyue nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, of course we rent it. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. With this location and this environment, I will sell it outside. Anyway, I can sell it for more than 350,000 taels. If you want to buy it,

Cheaper, 300,000 taels is enough. I will take care of these houses for my father. You also know his old man’s temper. He is a pig, so I can’t let my father suffer, can I? I can’t even harm my second brother.

You are causing my father to suffer and making him unhappy with your second brother, aren't you?"

Meng Yuyan:......

She wants to strangle the current Song Qingyue to death. This shrewd businessman's face is really annoying!

"Can... the palace... be rented?"

"What's the point? There is no law in Zhou Dynasty that does not allow the king to rent a house."

"Sister-in-law! Stop joking, the rented palace is a good idea or not!"

"Then I won't tell you. Anyway, I am the only one in charge of these houses now. As long as I don't tell anyone, who will know whether you rented or bought them?"

Meng Yuyan frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that it was not impossible?

Open your mind, if you have to move out, wouldn't it be easier to rent than to buy?

Besides, after they finish renovating the house and live there for five or six years, even if they don’t pay the rent, can the father force them all out?

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized, let alone the royal family. In the end, the emperor will definitely find the person in charge, Song Qingyue, to settle the accounts. Who knows, the sister-in-law will not only be unable to evict them in the future, but will also have to help them pay the rent.

Meng Yuyan, who had made up her mind to cheat her sister-in-law, laughed, nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, this is a great idea. I will go back and talk to our prince."

Song Qingyue looked at her happily walking out and smiled, and said to Qin Jifu: "Guess whether our second brother and sister have any plans to default on the debt?"

The smile on Qin Jifu's face was serious, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was very possible, and he couldn't help but worry: "If they default on their debts in the future, long live the Lord, won't they settle the accounts with you?"

Song Qingyue smiled and waved her hands: "Can't find it."

"Why is this?"

"I will tell my father that the rent will be deducted directly from his salary and the money will not be charged to me."

Qin Jifu:......

Yes, why didn't you expect that a son who relies on his father for a living still wants to cheat his father's money? Isn't this a miscalculation?

And as long as the palace does not belong to them on paper, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will always have every reason to withhold Li Yi's salary. Even if he misbehaves in the future, the emperor will use the increase in rent as an excuse to deduct more salary from Baojun Palace. It is reasonable to believe that no matter whether the emperor is Li Jin or Li Zhao, life in Baojun Prince's Palace will be difficult at that time.

Thinking of this, Qin Jifu couldn't help but shudder all over. Anyone who dared to plot against his prince and princess would definitely die badly.

After Meng Yuyan returned, she told Li Yi the plan, and Li Yi immediately agreed.

As long as they thought about being able to defraud a house from Song Qingyue for nothing, the two of them could only think about the excitement that "the smart Song Qingyue will fall into their hands one day", and nothing else could be thought of.

After the second child and his wife also moved out, the fourth child and his wife stayed put.

There is no other reason. Li Min is now a useless person. There is no daughter from a good family who is willing to marry him as a concubine, and he does not have enough money to buy a palace.

Not long after Li Yi moved out of the mansion, the queen began to look for a concubine for him.

Ning Yueluo, the third girl of the Ning family, realized that she was in trouble again. She had to go to the Northeast to find her father!

"Girl, are you trying to escape secretly?" Ning Yueluo's maid was a little dumbfounded.

"I can't keep her in the capital. When my little aunt starts crying and making trouble in front of my grandmother, my grandmother will have to agree to marry me to my second cousin."

"But... wouldn't it be nice to be a concubine of a county prince?"

Snap!

Before the little maid finished speaking, she was slapped hard by Ning Yueluo.

"Girl, I was wrong! Qinghe will never dare to talk nonsense again!"

The other maid, Qingluan, was unwilling to follow her daughter to the Northeast. Everyone knew that the personal maid who was given as a dowry would most likely become the future male master's wife. It was freezing in the Northeast, so how could it be as good as the capital?

So she also dissuaded her: "Girl! You have to think twice! You are the only unmarried girl in our government now! Who can't you marry? Why do you have to go to a cold place to marry a rough man? ?”

Ning Yueluo was not willing to accept it, but what could she do? If her aunt recognized her, which young man in the capital would dare to marry her?

Besides... She has figured it out now. She tied the baggage in her hands and said, "What's wrong with the Northeastern man? I thought back then, wasn't my grandfather a Northeastern man? Wasn't my grandmother pampered all her life? She married a high-ranking man. Is it okay to be a noble person? Nine out of ten of these noble people in the capital are stinky shit!"

After saying that, she shouldered her burden and went straight to the stable.

"You two can follow me if you want to. If you don't want to, just stay here!"

Dad has been in the Northeast for so many years and has so many young generals under his command. There must be someone willing to marry her!

No one expected that the dignified young lady from the palace would run away overnight!
