To change what Mrs. Su just said into something clearer and more straightforward, that is: asking for money.

Tang Junning tapped her fingertips on the back of the chair, and then sighed: "Mrs. Su, it's okay to say this in front of me, but you must never say it in front of others. Not only does the emperor not care about this marriage, he also has some

Angry."

"If Mrs. Su wants to make a big show, I'm afraid my adoptive father will not be able to have the Holy Heart in the future."

She was deceiving plausibly.

No matter how angry he is, the prince is still the emperor's son, and the emperor naturally hopes to have the respect he deserves, but Mrs. Su doesn't know what the emperor is thinking.

After hearing this, she was shocked: "This...that's not what I meant."

Seeing that his wife was defeated in just three words, the Minister of Rites could only sigh and continued: "Princess, you are a noble person now. There is indeed something wrong with coming here this time, but there is indeed no extra silver in the house."

It is available for envoys. If you really want to hold a show, you will have to borrow money from the treasury."

When officials in the DPRK were poor, they would go to the treasury to borrow some money to tide them over, and then pay it back when they had more money.

There was nothing wrong with him going to borrow money, but it would make people laugh. Everyone felt that the princess's adoptive father actually wanted to borrow money...

If you don't give money, it will damage her and the palace's reputation. If you give money, she is unwilling to do so.

It's not easy for her to make money! Moreover, she also wants to support Xiao Tingyan and Xiaobao. Xiaobao is young and will have many places to use money in the future.

She didn't want to give this money to Xiao Yuchen for her marriage.

"I don't need you two to worry about the marriage. It should be settled by my eldest brother." Xiao Tingyan also went to court, wearing a python robe and a majestic appearance.

Tang Junning's eyes were immediately filled with smiles.

Why did you forget Xiao Yuchen?

Why should he spend her money to get married?

Xiao Tingyan glanced at the two Su family members lightly, sat down next to Tang Junning, and helped Tang Junning to sit down.

"I wonder what your lord means by this?" the Minister of Rites asked hesitantly.

Although the man is responsible for most of the process when it comes to getting married, the woman also has to contribute part of it, and there are also dowries...

"This matter accidentally implicated the Su family, so all financial issues are not the concern of the Su family. As for the dowry, Mrs. Su can just add two hairpins."

Having said that, how could the Su family only add two hairpins for the sake of face?

Mrs. Su was confused: "But this..."

Tang Junning cut off her words and was slightly surprised: "Isn't it true that Madam can't bear to part with two hairpins?"

"That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When the adopted daughter of the Su family married, it was the Su family that made the good reputation. Father, you wouldn't disagree, right?"

Tang Junning sang with Xiao Tingyan, and forcefully silenced these two people who were justly begging for money.

Xiao Tingyan also learned to fight back: "I think that when I married the princess, the Su family didn't have much dowry, and His Highness the Crown Prince only married a concubine, not to mention not many good things."

Mrs. Su was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak. You must know that she had deducted a lot of Su Hua's dowry.

Didn’t it mean that Su Hua was not favored in the palace? Didn’t it mean that the prince only had the dead princess in his heart?

Why is the prince speaking for her now...

Seeing Mrs. Su's appearance, the Minister of Rites knew something was up, and frowned: "I understand this, so I will go back and prepare now, so I won't trouble the prince and princess. As for the princess's dowry, I will go back and compare it."

A gift bill."

"If there is anything accidentally missed, someone will be sent to deliver it."

The Su family and his wife came here to ask for money, but ended up losing a lot of things.

As soon as the person left, Tang Junning, who was sitting upright, softened his body, thinking about what he learned from Yuan Yue last night, holding his chin up, and looking at Xiao Tingyan with a smile on his face.

Xiao Tingyan took a cup of tea and took a sip. His long eyelashes were half lowered and his voice was indifferent: "Since we are partners, I will help you with what you deserve. No need to thank you."

"Oh~" she drawled in a long tone, with an indulgence and smile that could not be ignored.

Xiao Tingyan frowned and looked over. When he saw her smiling face, his hand holding the cup tightened slightly: "Speak carefully and don't try to make fun of me here."

Tang Junning nodded obediently, but still spoke in a lazy and gentle tone when she was angry: "But Your Majesty, I can't control myself when I see you. I only think about how to like Your Majesty."

What he said was straightforward and enthusiastic.

Xiao Tingyan choked, covered his mouth and coughed: "Cough, cough cough——"

Usually she doesn't do anything obvious, nor is she so enthusiastic. She only occasionally makes surprising remarks.

But now she is almost entangled.

"Your Majesty, please drink slowly. Even if it is the tea made by my concubine, you don't have to drink it in such a hurry." She handed over a handkerchief, but Xiao Tingyan didn't pay attention. He wiped his lips with it and finally calmed down his breathing. Listening

After saying this, I couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in my hand.

"Su Hua, please speak to me properly!" Who did you learn this from?!

Tang Junning's face was full of smiles. She felt that her prince looked good even when he was angry. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and there was a hint of sullenness in his eyes. His whole person became alive. Compared with the time when she died, he was much better.

.

Without that sinister aura, he looked more like a high-spirited, dignified and arrogant prince.

"Your Majesty, I know this~"

When Xiao Tingyan saw the smile in her eyes, he knew she was teasing him. His forehead twitched, and he endured it again and again.

"Please pack up and I'll take you to the East Palace." If he ignored her, he didn't believe that she could still be enthusiastic on her own.

Tang Junning nodded: "My lord, please help me see if this is feasible?"

She stood up and twirled her skirt in front of his suspicious gaze.

The fragrant wind blew in, and the gorgeous skirt made a flying arc. Her slender waist, which was less than a handhold, was tightly wrapped by the belt, and the rings around her waist made a sound.

Like the famous flowers he had seen in the imperial garden in summer, they were precious and rare, blooming with astonishing enthusiasm.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he was a little dazed and stunned, she called out pretending not to know, with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, do you think this dress is good?"

"It's just a small matter to talk about. You don't have to dress too fancy." He pursed his lips and said, and the thought he just had for a moment was suppressed in the cradle.

I went to the prince's place, so I dressed up so charmingly.

Oh.

"But... a woman likes her own appearance. I just want to see my prince see me, and I will always look beautiful and charming." She said seriously, full of sincerity, "I am not like other people.

As a lady with both political integrity and talent, she only has this beautiful skin, so she should naturally think about how to use her."

"What if one day the prince sees that my concubine is really beautiful, and he accidentally falls in love with her?"
