Chapter 647: Force her to get money
That's Lu Chang'an, a humble gentleman, how could he do such a thing!
Without waiting for Xue Changfeng to answer, Liu Yunxiang laughed first: "It seems that you are really drunk and talk nonsense."
As she said that, she looked at Yan Mu, "It's cold and slippery, so you can arrange for him to live in our mansion."
Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yunxiang, "Do you trust Lu Chang'an so much?"
Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Lu Chang'an, you know him too. Do you think he may be associated with a married woman? This is not a question of trust or not. It sounds very funny, it cannot be true."
"It's true!" Xue Changfeng slapped the table and stared at Liu Yunxiang with wide eyes. "That year, he came to Weizhou for food and salary. I was an old acquaintance with him, so I kept him at home to drink. That night, we both drank too much that night. I clearly remember that Murong Lingyi came here. They also entered the flower hall together and stayed in it for a long time. After that, Murong Lingyi was even more cold to me and did not allow me to touch her."
Liu Yunxiang raised her eyebrows, "Since you are drunk, why can you still see them entering the flower hall together? Since you see, why haven't you gone in to find out?"
Xue Changfeng sat upright and patted his chest, "I'm stupid... I believe he is a gentleman... I've never thought about it like this... I didn't understand it immediately until Murong Lingyi said that when he was a time of separation."
Liu Yunxiang was helpless, "She just said that casually."
"He!" Xue Changfeng pointed at Yan Mu, "He and Murong Lingyi have an affair. In the same way, Lu Changan and Murong Lingyi must have it."
Liu Yunxiang was speechless and turned to look at Yan Mu, "So you and Murong Lingyi really have it?"
Yan Mu was speechless and kicked Xue Changfeng on the chair, "Get back to your house!"
The next day, when Liu Yunxiang woke up, she saw Yan Mu still asleep. She covered him with a quilt and was about to get up when he pulled her back.
“It’s snowing outside.”
"Um."
"Sleep a little longer."
It was rare that he could sleep in, so Liu Yunxiang lay down and squeezed into his arms, "So you continue to pretend to be sick today?"
"Well, keep pretending."
Liu Yunxiang raised her head and kissed Yan Mu's chin. She was about to sleep and get back to sleep, Jinyan called her outside: "Girl, someone is coming from the palace."
Liu Yunxiang was familiar with the dress and came to the main hall of the front yard. He saw several eunuchs from the palace. The leader was wearing a crimson flying fish suit, with fifty hair and drooping eyelids, as if he couldn't lift it up.
Seeing her come in, the eunuch bent down and saluted.
"Princess Jin An, the slave is Wang An, the eunuch-in-chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Eunuch Wang, come to the palace early in the morning, but what urgent matter is there?"
"The Qianqiu Festival is approaching, and a message is passed on from Feifeng Palace, saying that the princess will supervise this year, so I specially brought a few managers to the palace to pay my respects, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be in your order."
The eunuch had no expression on his face, but he always lowered his eyes, giving people a sense of arrogant arrogance.
Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and said, "I have no experience in the palace and I am so proud of the queen. But what did I do in previous years? This year is as usual, what does Eunuch Wang think?"
"This year is Empress Aishou, so I still have to do it more grandly." Wang An said lightly.
Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and asked, "Will the money for preparing for the Qianqiu Festival be paid out in the palace or the treasury?"
"The whole country celebrates together during the Qianqiu Festival, so naturally the national treasury is required to be released by the national treasury."
"Does the treasury have money?"
Wang An lowered his eyes, silent for a while, and said, "Slaves are incompetent, I believe that the princess has his own way."
Liu Yunxiang gritted her teeth secretly. If she asked for money from the treasury, she would make things difficult for Yan Mu. But if she didn't ask for money from the treasury, would she have to pay it herself?
She paid the queen's glorious He Qianqiu, and she was thankless to pay and work, and she would be ridiculed by them behind her back.
"There is not much time left, and we have to start preparing now, but the treasury has not allocated any money yet." Wang Andao.
"How much silver is required?"
"According to previous years, it would cost at least 30,000 taels. If this year is more grand, it would cost 50,000 taels."
Liu Yunxiang narrowed her eyes and came over early in the morning, clearly forcing her to get the money.
It’s not about whether it’s money or not, but about deliberately disgusting her.
She thought about something, and smiled and said, "The Empress is indeed more grand at the age of fifty. Fifty-something is not enough, but at least 100,000 taels. In previous years, she was just holding a palace banquet and invited opera troupes. This year, she would just build a Yingxiantai. Didn't the national teacher have the ability to go all out to heaven, so she asked him to invite the Eight Immortals to celebrate the Queen's birthday, and all countries in the four seas and all directions sent invitations. In short, it must be grand. Money is not a problem, and let the treasury allocate the silver. We will not be able to take out this amount of silver."
After hearing this, Wang An finally raised his eyelids, "The princess really wants to build Yingxiantai?"
"Built according to the highest specifications, it must be high and gorgeous."
"If the treasury cannot bring out the money..."
"This palace supervises, Eunuch Wang doesn't have to worry about this leisure, right?"
Wang An politely saluted again, "I will tell you to start preparing now, but when will the money be received?"
"It's going to be here in the past few days."
"Then the slave is here."
After Wang An and his group left, Liu Yunxiang returned to the backyard and told Yan Mu about Jianying Xiantai ceremonial to celebrate the birthday of the queen. After hearing this, Yan Mu sat up first, then saw Liu Yunxiang laughing terrifiedly, thinking for a moment, and then laughed.
"The queen shouldn't provoke you."
Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang over and lowered his head and kissed him, "I don't know if she is too stupid or you are too smart."
Liu Yunxiang hummed, "She is stupid, but I am indeed smart."
"Yes, not only are they smart, but they can also calculate." Yan Mu couldn't help laughing, "It's going to be snowing in Nanzhou, haha, who in this world has such a skill?"
Liu Yunxiang glared at Yan Mu, "You are clearly mocking me!"
"I don't want to laugh, but you said there will be snow in Nanzhou."
"you!"
Yan Mu grabbed Liu Yunxiang's hand and pulled her into her arms. "A few days ago, Nanzhou urged food and wages to ask for a batch of summer heat relief medicine, saying that it was because it was too hot, and many soldiers were suffering from colds."
Liu Yunxiang pushed Yan Mu, "You will soon know how amazing I am!"
Two days later, Yan Mu still pretended to be sick and refused to go to the cabinet. The expedited memorials and generals finally couldn't sit still. They jointly participated in Yan Mu and sent them directly to Yunxia Mountain Taoist Temple.
When the emperor learned about the situation, he was furious and immediately summoned Yan Mu to Yunxia Mountain.
When Liu Yunxiang went with him, he came to Guanli and saw that almost all the ministers in the court were there, Shangguan Xu was there, Shunping was there, and the queen and the fourth prince were there. They were either angry, watching the show, or being proud.
After waiting outside for a while, the emperor summoned everyone.
Yan Mu and the others walked behind, and Hongxuan quietly came over and said to them: "Mrs. Hou has not yet been born. The emperor is anxious and is missing a bucket of breath. Be careful."
