"You also know that your second emperor's brother's warehouses have been emptied out, and your mother and concubine can't just take care of you. If it doesn't work, go and ask your father for it." Let's see if the emperor gives it to you.
"Concubine, how long has it been? Haven't you found the culprit yet?" The second princess pursed her lips, feeling unhappy. Concubine should have requested this kind of thing, so how could she be allowed to go?
"No, it just disappeared out of thin air. Yun'er, don't blame the concubine. It's really hard for the concubine to speak. You don't want to see the concubine being annoyed by your father, right?
"She was rejected by the emperor, and there are many people in the harem who are eager to step on her. Can the children really protect themselves?
The imperial concubine was sincere and sincere, and the second princess also understood that they still needed to rely on the imperial concubine. With the emperor's concubine around, they could still be in the emperor's eyes. But if the emperor's concubine lost her favor, it would be strange if the emperor could remember them because he had so many children.
"I take it for granted that it is the daughter. Instead of dragging down the mother-in-law because of her daughter, it is better for her to just marry her off. I believe that the Duke of Zhenguo will not look down on her daughter because of the dowry."
"Who can show mercy to my children?" The emperor happened to come over and heard the second princess's last words.
"emperor?"
"Father."
"Get up quickly, how are you recovering?" the emperor asked the second princess.
"It still hurts, but my daughter can bear it. Father, don't worry." The second princess forced a smile with tears in her eyes.
"The pain is certain, and it won't hurt in a few days. Why did you say that before?"
"There is no such thing as a father, and the daughter is fine. A daughter is different from her first marriage. It is already her second marriage, and her daughter is already content."
"Even if it is a second marriage, she is still a royal princess. Don't worry, my father promised you that the dowry will be added to the dowry and carried back to you. As long as you do well." The emperor sighed and said the dowry.
He could afford it, but he could only use what he had in his private treasury, and he was reluctant to part with it. Although the Ministry of Revenue had it, it was not much. After all, the border had only been stabilized last year. Supporting the war would require a lot of money.
The national treasury is not rich.
The second princess' face froze, she gritted her teeth, and smiled unnaturally.
The imperial concubine was afraid that her daughter's palace was not deep enough and would reveal something inappropriate, which would make the emperor disgusted, so she could only give her daughter a wink and lead the emperor out.
She just made an insinuation: "Your Majesty, will the Duke of Zhenguo really treat everyone equally?"
"Why do you ask that?" The emperor frowned.
"My concubine knows that this matter has embarrassed the emperor. But as a mother, I have to shamelessly accept the emperor's kindness to Yun'er. However, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is not optimistic about Yun'er. This time I heard that the Emperor of Wu'an Hou's Mansion
The employment is extremely heavy, but for Yun'er, it requires... I just can't bear the emperor's troubles, and it's quite embarrassing for the sake of my children, how can I feel better?"
The imperial concubine's eyes were moist, and she lowered her head slightly to prevent the emperor from seeing her tears, but she choked up for a time, making the emperor unable to hear or see her tears.
"Don't think too much. Since the Duke of Zhen has agreed, he will not go back on his promise. Let Yun'er prepare for the marriage. If the injury hadn't healed, she would have married into the Duke of Zhen's house on the same day." There was nothing he could do now. Although he
She is selfish, but also understands men better. No one wants to marry a widow, especially the Luo family. They do not rely on nepotism. No matter how noble the woman's status is, it is of no use. It is better to marry an intimate person.
But while he understood, he wanted to destroy this aloofness and aloofness.
"Yes, listen to your Majesty, your children are debts, so what else can you do?" the imperial concubine sighed.
After the emperor and the noble concubine left, the second princess smashed her hands together, clenching her hands, and the fire of jealousy filled her chest.
Want to marry into the Duke's palace in advance? Want to overpower her? Dreaming.

"Which family does the young lady belong to? I have lived here recently, but I have never seen her before. If I have seen her, with her voice and smile, I will never forget her."
"Glib tongue, which house are you from? Since you are so rude, be careful we come to your door."
"Shut up. I'll forgive you, sir. The maid is also eager to protect her master, and she has no ill intentions. It's just that you must not go too far like today, too..." He Lingxi lowered her head and couldn't say anything.
"Too frivolous? It's Xiaosheng's fault. Naturally, he will not be like today again in the future. He is just like this when he meets the young lady. Please forgive me, young lady."
He Lingxi stopped talking, just frowned and looked at the door in front of him. It was clearly occupied two days ago, but today it was locked. He didn't know where Song Ting and the others had gone. Did the whole family go to the Duke's Mansion?
It shouldn't be. Even if the masters go, it's impossible for all the servants to follow.
He Lingxi was thinking a lot and wondered what happened to Luo Mingwu?
If she did not capture Song Ting, she would be sent by her grandmother to pave the way for her father. She was not willing to accept it. Instead of being a concubine for the old man, it would be better to be given to Song Ting. At least Song Ting had a reputation and was good-looking.
There is a lot of competition when you get married.
"Let's go."
"Miss?"
"Go back and ask where my cousin went." He Lingxi gave the little money he had to the maid and asked the maid to go find out.
The maid also hurriedly agreed to follow the young lady and marry into the Song family. Maybe she would still have the opportunity. But if she followed the young lady and didn't marry into the old man's house, then I'm afraid...
The maid didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she sent He Lingxi home and went to inquire about it.

"Master, I have chosen a place." Hong Jian's little face flushed with excitement.
"Where?" Luo Jingyao raised her eyebrows. She is really a career-oriented woman, at this speed.
"Master, the ready-made one is Baihualou. It was very popular in the past. Later, after Zuihualou opened across the street, the two families fought for two years. In the end, Zuihualou was the winner, and the girls in Baihualou were all
They were poached by the other side, leaving behind all the older ones, who are now half-dead and unable to make ends meet."
"So, you want to take it?"
"Yes, Master, what do you think?"
"what are you up to?"
"My subordinate wants to continue, change the style, and redecorate."
"Then I'm afraid we need to make major changes. You should have a plan on how to run it."
"Master, help your subordinates."
"According to their volition, should they take over? Or should they just be the shepherds? They also need to be trained. The most important thing is that we need people."
"Master, I'm going to dig it up." You can't unconscionably rob or deceive a woman from a good family.
"Okay, all I can do to help you is give me some advice. You need to have a plan of your own."
"Go and call Qing Ya and ask her to come over in the evening." Luo Jingyao thought for a while and went back to the study to write down a plan. Since Hong Jian wanted to have an intelligence line, only the brothel would not work. She wanted to know what was coming from the southeast and northwest.
There is no better news than the teahouse.
Just do what you say, and when Qing Ya comes over in the evening, Luo Jingyao has already written a plan and even the money is ready.
