When Her Royal Highness the Princess was leaving, she suddenly turned around, looked at Li Yi, and said with piercing eyes.
After saying a few more words just now, Li Yizheng was very thirsty, holding a pot of tea and drinking it hard. Hearing this, he put down the teapot and asked: "What's wrong?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess showed a thoughtful look on her face and said, "You usually hide and hide when things happen, and you can say a few words and never say a word more. Why are you so attentive this time? There must be something weird."
Looking at Li Mingzhu's slightly suspicious eyes, Li Yi wanted to smash the teapot in his hand.
Damn..., I just said a few more words. How can it be weird? Could it be that I have any intentions towards you?
If you were the eldest prince instead of the eldest princess, I would have to do these things and say these words, and I would be so busy!
At the risk of having the water meter checked by the court, he helped to make suggestions for the implementation of the new marriage law, stayed up late to write scripts, and even had two pimples on his face. He also had to hire trolls to fan the flames and create public opinion - to do all this,
Is it easy for me?
Selling perfume and selling underwear is so good. Only when you are full can you care about whether women in the world are happy in their marriages, whether their thoughts are independent or not, whether they have awakened their sense of struggle...
The heartless guy didn't care who got the benefits, but he just flashed the knife casually in the court, gained fame and money, and when the two assumptions he just said became reality,
She still doesn’t know what she will get, but now she actually suspects that she has other motives?
Without herself, she is still grounded!
"Xiaohuan, see the guests off!"
Li Yizhong lay back on the chair, feeling extremely disappointed. He never looked at her again and ordered the little maid.
The little maid stared blankly in front of her. That was Her Royal Highness. How should I send it to her?
…
"Is Mingzhu going to open a girls' school?" Emperor Jing turned his head to look at it, shook his head and said: "If it is according to what the queen said, the scale of this girls' school is really rare in the world. It can be called another Imperial College. The treasury
She has been in a tight situation, but there is no extra money for her to go through such trouble."
Although female education is rare among the people, it is indispensable for those scholarly and wealthy families.
Girls in the family have to enter women's school when they are young. In addition to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and classics, they must also learn "Nvjian" and "Nvxun", which are about women's morality, women's duties and boudoir etiquette.
Mingzhu has been thinking about doing something for women these days and wants to open a school for women. He is not surprised. However, if she follows her idea, it will cost a lot of money. The national treasury is already tight and it is impossible to spend money on these things.
The queen placed a bowl of soup on the table in front of Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty guessed wrong this time. Mingzhu did not want to take money from the treasury."
Emperor Jing asked doubtfully: "Without the investment of one hundred thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid this would be difficult to accomplish. Where will she get the money from?"
The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, does he know what is the most profitable business in Kyoto today?"
Emperor Jing took a sip of the soup and turned to look at her. He had to deal with countless government affairs every day, so how could he have the energy to care about these things?
"It's perfume." The Queen looked at him and said, "In the palace, concubines, maids, and even several little princesses are all using perfume. It is very popular outside the palace. Every time a new product is released, it will be displayed in the store.
There is a trend among the ladies in the city. Does your Majesty know how much a bottle of perfume this inch tall will cost?"
Emperor Jing shook his head. Li Yi said that he could not smell perfume, so the maids accompanying him were not allowed to use it, and the queen never used it. He was not sure about this.
"Ten taels of silver." The queen looked at him and said, "A bottle is worth ten taels of silver. Even so, countless people are still flocking to it. What's more, perfume is only one type of industry under the name of Mingzhu, and soap
, spirits, and the profits of these things are not inferior to those of perfume. To be honest, I don’t know how much Mingzhu is worth now. "
Emperor Jing was surprised and said: "These things can actually have such a huge profit. In just half a year, she can easily take out one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. You must know that Jingguo's annual tax revenue is only tens of millions of taels. There have been disasters in more than two years. Last year's tax revenue was only 8 million taels of silver.
It is a bit incredible to have a net worth of 100,000 or more in a short period of time.
"This must be attributed to your Majesty's County Uncle Li." The Queen smiled and said: "Not only Mingzhu, but Xuan'er has also made a lot of money in the past six months. I, my concubine, have taken their money during these days.
Filial piety has been softened..."
"A good county uncle doesn't do anything, but he imitates businessmen and does things that pursue profit..." Emperor Jing shook his head and asked, "What is Li Yi doing these days?"
Chang De's figure appeared behind him and said: "Your Majesty, County Uncle Li has been traveling around with the two princesses these days."
"What else?" Seeing that Chang De didn't speak again after saying this, Emperor Jing looked back at him after a moment and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, no more." Changde shook his head and said.
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment and asked: "He only plays with Yongning Shouning every day?"
Changde nodded and said: "Uncle Li County said that this is to relax Princess Yongning and help her condition."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said helplessly: "I don't know where he learned his medical skills. Although it seems absurd, it is also effective, that's all..."
Changde thought for a while and then said: "Li Xianzi also said that because His Majesty called Princess Yongning into the palace twice and interrupted the treatment, ten more days of treatment are needed..."
"Treatment course?" Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that because His Majesty summoned the princess to the palace for three days, the princess will stay in County Uncle Li's house for ten more days." Chang De said.
"What nonsense!" Emperor Jing slapped the table and said, "You are joking. You said two months is two months, not a day more, not a day less. You actually blame me for summoning Yongning into the palace. Why, I still can't
Have you met your daughter?"
Changde sighed and said: "County Uncle Li said that these last ten days are crucial. If something goes wrong, all previous efforts may be wasted, and Her Royal Highness the Princess may become what she was before."
When Emperor Jing heard this, his body trembled slightly.
How could he forget that demented expression and empty eyes? After being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten days, that's all, just ten days..."
Thinking of another thing, Emperor Jing suddenly asked: "Where has Shouning gone? Why haven't I seen her in the past few days?"
Changde pondered for a moment and then said: "Didn't His Majesty make a decree that Princess Shouning can leave the palace these days?"
Only then did Emperor Jing think of the fact that Shouning girl had been acting up and threatening to go on a hunger strike. It was only because of his headache that he agreed to her. In the past two months, he could go out of the palace to see Yongning. Could it be that she had to go every day?
A moment later, an angry voice came from the Qinzheng Hall.
"It's not enough to kidnap one of my daughters. Do you want to kidnap another one?"
