The eldest princess made no secret of her ferocity. Xiling Tianyu took a step back, a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly calmed down.
Xiling Tianyu lowered his eyes and said to the eldest princess respectfully: "Auntie, it's true that we are the Xiling royal family, but this world belongs to the common people. Although our Xiling royal family is in charge of the Xiling country, we have no right to use the money from the national treasury.
, that is the people’s money, and it must be used on the people.
The money from the treasury can be used for military defense, river construction, and road construction, but it cannot be misused by the royal family. Forget about you, even the father does not dare to use the money from the treasury.
All the money used by the father and the concubines in the palace came from the father's own inner treasury, and not a single penny came from the national treasury. In Xiling, the only person in Xiling who uses the silver from the national treasury and uses it so confidently is your aunt.
.”
Xiling Tianyu was neither angry nor annoyed, and had a personable demeanor. He simply cleared the matter. After finishing the matter, he apologized and left without waiting for the eldest princess to speak.
"Tianyu, you are doing well."
Behind him, the eldest princess's angry voice came, and Xiling Tianyu smiled with satisfaction.
His aunt has always been calm, but only after being hit repeatedly will she lose her mind and let others catch her.
"Go, find someone to tell everyone what the eldest princess and I said today, word for word. From the dignitaries to the traffickers and lackeys, I want everyone to know."
He wanted to see how an eldest princess who abused the treasury money and took it for granted could gain a foothold in the Xiling Court and prevent him from taking power.
"Yes, Your Highness." The personal eunuch withdrew expressionlessly.
Within three days, the words of the eldest princess and Xiling Tianyu were spread in every street in the imperial city. In order to fear that ordinary people would not understand, Xiling Tianyu even had people make up jokes and sing them as a play.
"The eldest princess is really not a human being. No wonder there was no money left when the river bank flooded last year. It turned out that the eldest princess used it."
"The eldest princess's mansion is really magnificent. I heard that the eldest princess's mansion is even more beautiful than the palace."
"No wonder he was burned. He must have been punished by God."
"I heard, the assassin that day wanted to kill the eldest princess. At the critical moment, the eldest princess pushed her horse out to block the sword, and used her horse to save her body. It was just nice to hear. Think about Mr. Yinli, a scholar, how can he
He is the opponent of the eldest princess, who is a female general who can mount a horse and shoot arrows."
"Mr. Yinli is so pitiful. I heard that before the eldest princess married Mr. Yinli, she had a relationship with her former left prime minister and gave birth to a child."
"Your news is out of date a long time ago. The dead baby that the eldest princess gave birth to some time ago is the child of General Zhenyuan."
…
"Rumors are really useful. Uncle Nine Emperors really understands the eldest princess. A woman's endurance is really low. It's just that she was stripped of her power and wealth, and she became so crazy." Xiling Tianyu looked sarcastic.
, and then his face became sad again, and there seemed to be tears shining in his eyes.
He still remembered that because of his leg ailment, his father didn't like him, his mother didn't care about him, and his grandfather's family treated him just like that. Only the eldest princess and aunt would hold him in her arms, coax him, and comfort him.
When did the eldest princess’ aunt change? Or maybe he changed?
Xiling Tianyu raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and blinked back the sadness in his eyes.
Having reached this point, he can no longer retreat. He has to take a step back. Not only will he die, but also those who follow him and put their wealth and life on him. He has too many burdens on his shoulders. He can only move forward.
Walk.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to enter the palace and pay your respects to the Queen." The eunuch reminded him at the right time, bringing him back from his wandering thoughts in Xiling Tianyu.
The Xiling Palace is not as heavy as the Dongling Palace, but more luxurious. When Xiling Tianyu got off the carriage, the eunuch brought a heavy cloak and put it on him: "Your Highness, I have ordered someone to come here."
Xiling Tianyu's legs still hurt in the cold winter. The palace people had already made preparations, but Xiling Tianyu waved his hands, tightened his fox fur cloak, and walked slowly to the Queen's Palace with a smile on his face.
None, and his eyes were as calm as dead water.
Xiling Tianyu took off his cloak outside the palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw the eldest princess sitting there.
Sure enough, his mother never wanted to see him because she missed him.
Even though we no longer have extravagant hopes, why does my heart still hurt?
"Auntie." Xiling Tianyu saluted respectfully.
Just for the tenderness he had at that time, he couldn't kill this aunt.
Uncle Nine Emperors was right. He was too easy to be soft-hearted and was not suitable to be an emperor at all. Fortunately, he had no idea of becoming an emperor.
"Tianyu has grown up, and my aunt is old." Within a few days, the eldest princess seemed to have aged more than ten years. Wrinkles appeared on her face, and her fair face became a little darker.
It doesn't matter when it's dark.
Xiling Tianyu's heart sank, and finally spoke: "Aunt, no matter what, Yu'er will protect your wealth for the rest of your life." As long as the eldest princess is safe, he will never take her life.
"Auntie knows that Tianyu is a conscientious person." The eldest princess tightened her hands, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, which soon disappeared: "Tianyu, auntie has done everything she can and should do. The property of the princess's house has been completely
After selling it, all the staff will be dismissed one by one, and the money from the treasury will be paid back in full soon."
"..." Xiling Tianyu was speechless.
He knew that the eldest princess had salt in her hands, and there was no need to work so hard to repay the money from the treasury.
"Tianyu, in addition to returning money to the national treasury, my aunt can also convince some businessmen to raise money for the national treasury. As long as Tianyu needs it, he can come to his aunt at any time. My aunt will support whatever Tianyu wants to do, and my aunt will fight for her life not to do it.
I will also help Tianyu achieve his wish." The eldest princess expressed her love for Tianyu both inside and outside her words, but the more Xiling Tianyu heard it, the colder her heart became.
Children who grew up in the royal family are not stupid. He understands the meaning behind the eldest princess's words, but it is precisely because he understands that he is even more sad.
She would help him in anything she did. His aunt was really a smart person. Seeing that she had no hope of seizing the throne, she thought of using the power of the dragon to help him ascend to the throne.
How cruel! The person sitting on the throne is her brother, the brother who allows her to do whatever she wants. He can even abandon his own brother. Why does his aunt still want to abandon her?
The softness in his heart was shattered by the eldest princess. Xiling Tianyu put away his smile and looked at the eldest princess expressionlessly: "Aunt, Mr. Yinli has always wanted to reconcile with aunt. Yu'er felt bad before, but now I think about it.
Yu'er is thinking the wrong way. Auntie, tomorrow I will ask my father to issue an order for you to make peace with Mr. Yinli, and then send you back to your fiefdom."
Once you return to your fiefdom, never come back.
"Tianyu, what do you mean?" The eldest princess's face twisted again. When she arrived at the fiefdom, there was no close confidant around her. What could she do?
"Auntie, don't force me, don't force me to send you to the Imperial Temple and let you live in the temple of Buddha for the rest of your life." He was already kind enough. Even though the eldest princess incited him to kill his father and seize the throne, he didn't even take the eldest princess's life.
The eldest princess took a breath and fell down on the chair: "Tianyu, are you serious?"
Where did she go wrong?
Is it wrong for her to give Tianyu a ride and let Tianyu sit in that seat early?
