160160160160After Emperor Ming Yuan left, Concubine Lu was very worried.
160160160160 She knew that the emperor was interested in this marriage, otherwise he would not ask her. He himself refused directly.
160160160160 The emperor would agree to Huai'er marrying a merchant's daughter. He must have asked people to ask many people about it. He only came to this consideration after getting no results.
160160160160 Could it be said that Huai'er really can't get a good wife?
160160160160 She felt uncomfortable in her heart. The next day, she asked her parents-in-law to invite her sisters-in-law into the palace to talk.
160160160160 She was not lucky, her nieces from her mother's family were all married, and it was not possible to marry her. Fortunately, her two sisters-in-law followed her brother to Beijing for a long time. They had a good meal in Beijing and knew many people, so it would be a good idea to ask them to help and keep an eye on her.
160160160160 Concubine Lu's two sisters-in-law, one is Diao and the other is Wu. They are not from the capital. They followed their husband to Beijing and lived in the capital.
160160160160 Concubine Lu’s natal family was not very capable, otherwise they would not have been so frustrated in these years.
160160160160 Hearing Concubine Lu talk about Prince Huai's marriage, Madam Diao first said: "My Lady, when it comes to marrying a lady, birth is not the most important thing. Good character, good character, and filial piety to you, that's all."
160160160160 Mr. Wu also said: "That's right. What do people want in their whole lives? Isn't it just for peace and prosperity? The prince has suffered from a serious illness. This kind of illness can make people stop. If you want a noble girl from a high family, you will be afraid.
It’s difficult, so it’s better to lower your requirements and see which foreign official is suitable and then marry her.”
160160160160 Concubine Lu frowned. The daughter of a local official cannot be considered. Apart from her family background, she doesn't know everything about her. How can she rest assured? After all, after marrying her, she will take care of the huge palace.
160160160160 Mrs. Wu said: "Madam, I happen to know a woman. She is the daughter of the magistrate of Zongzhou. She has just grown hair this year. She is pretty, has a good personality, is knowledgeable and reasonable, and is quite famous in Zongzhou. Why don't you consider it?
?”
160160160160 "Yes, I heard that it is good." Diao also quickly added.
160160160160 Concubine Lu looked at Mrs. Wu and said, "Prefect of Xuanzhou? Isn't that your cousin?"
160160160160 Mrs. Wu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, my family background is not bad. My cousin is now a full-ranked official."
160160160160 Concubine Lu didn’t want to. She had seen Wu’s cousin. He was three-pointed and octagonal in appearance. He was mean and very good at flattering. She had not yet entered the palace when Wu married. This cousin came.
After a few times, those who are high-ranking will pay homage to those who are low-ranking. This kind of person cannot treat his in-laws.
160160160160 Concubine Lu waved her hands and thought of the merchant's daughter that the emperor mentioned. The emperor seemed to agree. Then maybe she was a good character. If she was okay, it would be better to meet her first.
160160160160However, even with her distinguished status, she went to see the merchant's daughter and she lost face by telling her, which made her feel melancholy for a while.
160160160160 And after Emperor Yuan returned to his palace, Eunuch Mu Ru couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, you have almost spent all the money in the inner treasury, and there is only about ten thousand taels left."
160160160160 Emperor Ming Yuan glared at him, "Why do you keep reminding me about this? It's already early winter, and it's enough to save a few thousand dollars during the Chinese New Year."
160160160160 Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "If King Huai gets married, how much do you want to give as a bride price out of these ten thousand pieces of silver?"
160160160160 The dark night thunder exploded above Emperor Ming Yuan’s head.
160160160160 Yes, a prince's marriage cannot be shabby, especially since Lao Liu has been wronged for so long. His marriage must be a grand affair, but the money cannot be withdrawn from the treasury, and the treasury is now even emptyer than his heart.
160160160160 Every year, the royal family allocates a sum of money from the treasury to the inner treasury for royal expenses. All large and small matters are drawn from the inner treasury. It was enough in previous years, but it has been really difficult in the past two years, and a lot of private money has been used to supplement it.

--()60160160160 "Maybe the Emperor can give me something..." He thought about it and came up with the idea of the Emperor's small treasury... I am the dividing line between the poor and the emperor who are struggling on the poverty line...
160160160160 Qiankun Hall.
160160160160 "How many times?" The Supreme Emperor sat on a small bench, smoking a cigarette, and raised his head coldly to ask Eunuch Chang.
160160160160 Eunuch Chang carefully raised three fingers and said, "Three times."
160160160160 "How many days has it been?"
160160160160 Eunuch Chang calculated, "It has to be a month, right? If not a month, it's more than half a month."
160160160160 The Supreme Emperor puffed his beard and stared, "Isn't it true that he died alone?"
160160160160 Eunuch Chang quickly comforted him, "Don't be angry. I'm afraid I've been too busy recently and can't think of coming to greet you for the moment. If you really care about me, I'll send a message to go there tomorrow."
160160160160 The Supreme Emperor was furious, "Busy? I haven't come to Gu here three times since I entered the palace. How much time will it take to come here? What kind of huge undertaking will it delay? And I just said that I haven't been here for a month, right? More than a month? Gu thinks
It's been at least half a year. Yes, now that I have grown up and I don't need to be alone, I naturally don't have to come to entertain the old man and pass on orders. People don't have the intention, so what's the use of passing orders? They are people, not
My heart, it’s not rare to be alone, it’s best not to come here in the future.”
160160160160 After saying that, he stood up and kicked the chair next to him. He was embarrassed and couldn't kick. He was so angry that he turned around and kicked the small bench he was sitting on. The small bench flew out, hit the door and bounced back.
As soon as he turned around, the bench bounced back and hit his calf. He threw himself forward, but Eunuch Chang couldn't pull him back in time. He heard a "pop" and fell to the white jade floor.
160160160160 Eunuch Chang was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. He hurriedly helped him. When he saw that he was bleeding from kowtow, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come here, call the imperial doctor!"
160160160160 The Supreme Emperor was supported by him and sat on the chair. His face was frighteningly gloomy. He reached out and touched his forehead, and there was blood on his hand. He said coldly: "Don't teach the imperial doctor!"
160160160160 "How can that be done..."
160160160160 "It's up to you to decide whether it's okay or not. Forget it if you die." Seeing him standing in front of his eyes, the Supreme Emperor shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Get something to stop the bleeding."
160160160160 Inside the Qiankun Hall, there was a sudden chaos. The Supreme Emperor was vindictive and did not allow anyone to touch his injury. Not even Eunuch Chang. He applied styptic powder himself, then took a piece of cloth to bandage his head. The bandage was very ugly.
It was wrapped tightly several times, and blood came out and stained the cloth.
160160160160 After he lay down angrily, Eunuch Chang hurriedly went to find the emperor. When the emperor heard that the Supreme Emperor was injured, he became anxious and asked the reason. He was actually angry with the Crown Princess and said that the Crown Princess did not go to greet him when she entered the palace.
160160160160 Emperor Ming Yuan sighed, the old man is just like a child now, he wants to be coaxed and played, and the princess is really like that, why don't you go and see her after she has already entered the palace? She is really heartless.
160160160160 He didn't give any orders, and directly asked Eunuch Mu Ru to go out of the palace to find Yuan Qingling, explain the situation to her, and ask her to come to the palace tomorrow.
160160160160 He again told Eunuch Chang not to tell the Supreme Emperor that he had asked someone to report to the palace, but to say that the Crown Princess came to the palace to pay her respects on her own, so as not to hurt the young and fragile heart of the Supreme Emperor.
160160160160 Eunuch Chang sighed, "The Emperor's temper is getting worse now. The Emperor should spend more time with him when he has time."
160160160160 Emperor Ming Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, I will go."
160160160160 Emperor Ming Yuan also felt guilty. He was really busy recently, so he didn't bother to say hello. The old lady was fine, surrounded by a lot of women from the harem, but the old man was in the Qiankun Palace all day, saying he wanted to plot something.
Jing Jing, in fact, he was also looking forward to someone coming to talk to him.
