Chapter 016

It's not clear whether Du Fengju was happy or not, but the whole court was already quarreling over the decision to fix the ten-rate ratio.

The memorial was handed into the Zichen Palace without any money, and it was all about the arrangement of the Changding Princess Mansion.

Jiang Bao made good use of his money to pave the way for Concubine Jiang to be the only one in heaven. Of course, there were people in the court who supported Emperor Yongning's will and said that the emperor was wise.

But more people are strongly opposed to it.

The harsh words and fierce tone can be felt through every sentence of criticism in the memorial.

Among them, the most unkind person is Tutong Dutong.

The sentence "The morning of the hen is the only thing that protects the family, the emperor is not afraid of the death of the country?" Emperor Yongning was so angry that his long beard stood up.

Emperor Yongning swept all the memorials off the imperial court and said through gritted teeth: "How dare Du Tong, an old man, say such a thing, I must punish him! I must!"

Xue Gong and other people waiting in the Zichen Hall calmly knelt down and sorted out the memorials.

This was not the first time they heard such words from the emperor. Previously, because of the title "Changding", the emperor was also furious and threatened to find a reason to kill Taifu Du.

What happened in the end? The title of the Ninth Princess has been fixed for a long time, but Taifu Du is still doing well, a dragon and a tiger.

These are all skillful actions, no surprises at all.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongning slowly calmed down and told Xue Gong: "It was passed down to Cui Siye, the scholar of Shushe, that he should prepare an edict. After the prince and princess leave the palace and open their mansions, I will consider equipping them with probability..."

As soon as this decree came out, the opposition in the court quickly died down. Except for the stubborn and ineffective Du Taifu who still persisted, no one objected anymore.

Zheng Ji soon learned all this and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Master Du really say that?"

"Yes. Your Highness, don't worry. Your Highness did not listen to Taifu Du and was very angry." Li Xing'en hurriedly replied.

No wonder the Imperial Concubine and Your Highness don't like Taifu Du so much. Your Highness only has four thousand soldiers. How could he have gone so far as to destroy his family and the country? It's really too much!

But Zheng Ji was not as angry as he expected. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Du is really interesting."

Li Xing'en: "?"

In the past, His Highness would have scolded Taifu Du so much, but now this is his reaction...

Is His Highness angry or not? He couldn't decide at the moment.

"Your Highness, are you not angry?" he asked tentatively.

Zheng Ji shook his head and replied with a smile: "If you are not angry, what is there to be angry about?"

She knew what Mr. Du would be like in the future. The more fierce his opposition was now, the harder he would be slapped in the face in the future.

She likes to watch this kind of drama the most, and it doesn't matter if she comes to it more than once.

Li Xing'en really couldn't understand it, but since His Highness wasn't angry, he didn't care. The matter had calmed down anyway.

"Except for Mr. Du, the other courtiers said nothing."

Zheng Ji was not surprised by this. Since her father had awarded her a gold book and a bronze talisman, she could have expected that there would be opposition from the DPRK and there would definitely be ways to deal with it.

No, it subsided immediately, and the courtiers now kept their mouths shut tighter than river clams.

If the needle doesn't prick you, you won't know the pain. Similarly, if it doesn't benefit you, you will cry loudly.

Among these courtiers, there are always some connections with the prince and princess. It would be good for them if the prince and princess are equipped with two rates when they leave the palace.

Even if there are no courtiers involved with the prince and princess, they still hope that the prince and princess can equip soldiers out of some hidden motives, such as decentralizing military power.

Her father was well versed in the art of balance, and courtiers could tolerate it when it was more than just one person's favor.

As for whether it is really equipped with two rates, we can wait until the other princes and princesses really leave the palace and open their own mansions.

If she remembers correctly, there will be no prince or crown in the past three years, and there are still three or four years left for the princess who is suitable for descending!

Who knows what will happen in three or four years?

Anyway, for her, she already had the weapon talisman, so she didn't need to worry about it.

Leaving the palace and opening a mansion is her top priority!

Early the next morning, Concubine Jiang, along with Qian Gu, the chief manager of Fuqing Palace, and Aunt Huinan, arrived at Mingguang Palace to help Zheng Ji dress up and prepare his luggage.

Rows of copper-cornered boxes were arranged from the inner hall of Mingguang Palace to the outside of the palace gate. These boxes contained various items, some of which were gifts from Emperor Yongning and some carefully prepared by Concubine Jiang.

All food and clothing expenses are included, and there is nothing that cannot be prepared except for unexpected things.

Concubine Jiang stood in the Mingguang Palace, frowning and saying: "Have you put in the Jin Ao ornaments that the Young Master sent earlier? Why are there just these few boxes? They are too shabby..."

Zheng Ji quickly stepped forward, took Concubine Jiang's arm, and said softly: "Concubine, I have put them all in. There are a lot of things, so don't worry."

Ten of these items are enough for her, so why are they so shabby?

It's just that in the eyes of the mother-in-law, no matter how much you give, it's not enough. This is the deep concern of a mother.

Seeing that Concubine Jiang was still dissatisfied, Zheng Ji continued to coquettishly say: "Concubine, won't you buy me more things in the future? How can I finish it all at once?"

After hearing what she said, Concubine Jiang finally nodded: "That's true."

The worst thing is, let the palace guards make more trips in the future, this is not a problem at all!

Zheng Ji felt ashamed and could feel Qin Zhou's mood: the mother-in-law had given her too much!

No one can refuse this feeling, especially after losing everything, I cherish it even more.

Zheng Ji couldn't help but leaned on Concubine Jiang's shoulder and said sweetly: "Concubine, thank you."

Concubine Jiang was so soft-hearted that she moved her lips to say something, but in the end she just said: "Xiaojiu, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Come, concubine, help you!"

Although she was reluctant to let go of her daughter, she would not ask her to stay.

She has been trapped in the harem all her life and has no choice but to be happy when her daughter has the chance to leave!

If you feel sad or anything like that, leave it alone!

Zheng Ji let Concubine Jiang hold her and laughed involuntarily. His heart felt like white clouds floating in the sky, feeling extremely relaxed and at ease.

Concubine Jiang pulled Zheng Ji to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, and signaled Dan Xing and other maids to step aside: "You all get out of the way and let me come!"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand to lift Zheng Ji's chin, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Jiu is so beautiful, she deserves to be my daughter."

"Concubine, are you praising me or yourself?" Zheng Ji said deliberately, with a starry smile in his eyes.

Aunt Huinan, Dan Xing and others laughed "chichichi", and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and festive.
