"Rogue!" Before Li Yunzhong could finish speaking, Hong Xuanjiao and Xu Yuexiang left left and right to clean up the sweat and dirt on their bodies.

Xu Yuexiang, who had just washed up, ran over and pulled Li Yunzhong's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Husband, my sister invites me to go home to visit my relatives today. Do you want to go with me?"

Li Yunzhong pinched her rosy smile and shook her head: "You go back by yourself. If I follow you, Jiao Liang will have random thoughts again. Remember to come back for dinner tonight."

Xu Yuexiang didn't force herself. After using breakfast, she sat in a sedan chair and headed to Jiao Mansion.

"Empress Xu is here!" The butler of Jiao Mansion saw a gorgeous sedan chair from afar and shouted loudly.

Jiao Liang and his wife bowed to Xu Yuexiang, who had just left the sedan chair and said, "See the Imperial Concubine!"

"No gift, sister, brother-in-law, Yuexiang misses you so much!" Xu Yuexiang jumped and hugged her sister.

Jiao Liang looked around and asked the housekeeper to receive the palace guards and sedan chairmen, and said to Xu Yuexiang: "Please beside the empress, I have prepared a banquet and a troupe."

Xu Yuexiang looked at the brand new Jiao Mansion, with precious materials and rare stones everywhere, and her smile gradually faded away. After arriving at the lobby, she advised Jiao Liang: "The emperor has always been frugal, and brother-in-law should also pay attention. The Jiao Mansion was built a bit extravagant. I heard that Li Xiucheng was scolded by the emperor because of the luxurious construction of the mansion."

Seeing that his husband was embarrassed, Xu Yuegui explained: "Sister, his husband's tribe members have made a fortune in Nanjing. These are all their filial piety to their husbands. The husband is also involuntarily. He is not an ordinary person now, but an in-law in the emperor. He must protect the royal family's face everywhere. You must distinguish it for your husband in front of the emperor."

Xu Yuexiang frowned and felt a little unhappy with her sister's excuses. She had been wearing all her husband's clothes for a long time, but they lived a luxurious life.

"Brother-in-law, don't do too much. The emperor also said the day before yesterday that he would rectify the business order and prohibit collusion between officials and businessmen. The Jiao family should not be involved. The emperor is serious this time."

Jiao Liang didn't care about these things, and asked Xu Yuexiang: "Does the emperor often ask these things in front of you?"

Xu Yuexiang held Xiang's cheek with her hand and thought for a while before replying: "It's not often mentioned. I'm not interested in these things. Only Sister Fu has talked with the emperor. My two sisters and I are more interested in the military war."

Hearing that his sister was so naive and innocent, Jiao Liang felt a little disappointed and complained: "Sister, you are so confused. The emperor is the king of a country now, managing hundreds of millions of people. He does not have time to accompany you in normal times. When the emperor pacifies the world, it is difficult for the concubines in the harem to see the emperor. If you don't try to please the emperor now, give birth to a man and a half woman, and you will be neglected in the future. You will regret it!"

Xu Yuexiang replied with a red face: "The emperor compensates us for dinner every day, why can't we see you? God decided to give birth to a baby, how can I fight for it..." The voice behind him became lower and lower, and even Xu Yuexiang's own disappeared.

The butler of Jiao Mansion came in to report: "Qi Empress, Master, several cousin masters, and the son-in-law heard that the Empress was back, specially prepared generous gifts and came to greet him."

Jiao Liang was upset and said to the housekeeper: "If you ask them to go back, the empress is a golden branch and a jade leaf. How could they see it whenever they want?"

Seeing that his husband didn't even want the gifts he brought to his door, Xu Yuegui complained: "It's all his family, so what can't be seen? Besides, they have already arrived. You can drive them out and let outsiders see my sister."

"Let them come in!" Jiao Liang felt that what his wife said made sense. His sister was a concubine and her reputation could not be ruined.

After a while, more than 20 men, women, young and old came into the living room, kowtowed to Xu Yuexiang and said, "Say to the concubine."

Xu Yuexiang didn't expect them to give such a big gift, so she quickly stood up and said, "Get up quickly, the emperor has long refused to kneel down in the officialdom. You can never kneel down when you see anyone in the future."

"The Empress is a rare return, and it is also worth the young people to salute."

"Thank you for your teachings from the Imperial Concubine."

"Empress, these are all our wishes, please accept them with a smile."

Seeing that they were in a mess and didn't even take the lead in speaking, Jiao Liang waved his hand to them and said, "Okay, you guys go down first, the empress is tired all the way back."

Seeing that they were wearing gold and silver, Xu Yuexiang asked Jiao Liang like a landlord, "What do these people do? They are like nouveau riche. They are either gold rings or Lantian jade pendants. They should also have a few thousand taels of clothes!"

Xu Yuegui became proud and said to Xu Yuexiang: "Sister, do you still remember the eldest brother of my uncle's family? He now opens a flour mill. All Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are eating his flour, and you can earn thousands of taels a day. Your brother-in-law's nephew Jiao Hai bought two gold mines. The washbasins at home are made of gold. What's the little gold you wear..."

Jiao Liang looked down on the relatives of the nouveau riche from his heart and interrupted his wife's long speech: "Okay, now there are more people in business now, and it is not uncommon to earn tens of thousands of taels a month. The emperor is too tolerant to these businessmen. He does not want to serve the country every day and causes trouble everywhere, making such a huge China mess."

Xu Yuegui retorted: "They did not rely on your Lord Jiao's power, why don't you let others make money? Besides, the emperor encourages merchants to open factories. You are complaining here, be careful that the imperial concubine will go back and sue you!"

Jiao Liang looked at Xu Yuexiang awkwardly and explained: "The emperor is wise, not something that ordinary people can guess. Yuexiang, you must say a few good words to me in front of the emperor. Jiao Jing made such a big mistake. I, the brother, am really ashamed. Did the emperor alienate you because of this?"

What my husband said was right, and my brother-in-law likes to think randomly. Xu Yuexiang advised: "Brother-in-law, you are too worried. The emperor did not blame you for this. When I came back, I told me to let you do your best. When I captured Hunan, I would like to return home in glory and become the governor of Hunan!"

Jiao Liang was surprised and happy, and stood up and asked, "The Emperor said so! Haha... I didn't expect that Jiao Liang would have such a day. When those people were blind, they actually gave me the title of "Madman". Thirty years Hedong and Thirty years Hexi. When I returned to Hunan, I asked them to take a good look at Jiao Liang, which is no worse than them..."
