After returning from the southeastern border guard camp, Liu Xia practiced cross-legged as usual.

At noon the next day, when Liu Xia was chatting with Lingling, Zhang Zong cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Bai Rongxuan is here."

When Lingling heard this, she stood up and smiled helplessly: "It's so easy to see you, but you have to go to work again."

"I've been busy with official duties recently. When I return to Longdu, I will make it up to you."

Liu Xia smiled.

Lingling nodded, and as soon as Liu Xia was sent outside the gate, Lingling began to retching.

Liu Xia turned around quickly and said, "Are you feeling well?"

"Not really. Recently, I've been feeling down and nauseous."

Lingling waved her hand and said.[

"Let me take a look."

Liu Xia held Lingling's wrist. After a moment, Liu Xia suddenly said with joy: "Girl, you are pregnant."

"What!"

Lingling was startled for a moment, but then he realized it and said with a happy smile: "Am I going to be a mother?"

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

Zhang Zong hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled.

"Girl, you are so amazing."

Liu Xia immediately picked up Lingling and walked towards the house.

"Oh, put me down quickly. There are people outside. Let others see me. What should I do?"

Lingling struggled hurriedly.

After entering the room, Liu Xia carefully put her on the ground, tucked Lingling's broken hair behind her ears and said with a smile: "I never dreamed that I would be a father one day. Zhang Zong, tell the people in the house that in the future

The princess's food and daily life must be taken care of by someone special. By the way, when you select a few guards, be sure to pay attention here to make sure you don't make any mistakes."

"I understand, little one."

Zhang Zong cupped his fists and said.

"If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me. From today on, I will make time to see you every day."

Liu Xia smiled.[

"Oh, don't make such a fuss. It will attract other people's attention. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Lingling said hurriedly.

Liu Xia held Lingling's waist, looked at Lingling's watery eyes, and couldn't help but kiss her on the face.

The yellow-haired girl who had been following him back then was about to become a mother in the blink of an eye.

"Go and get busy. Otherwise Bai Rongxuan will be waiting."

Lingling instructed.

"Okay, I'll come see you later."

Liu Xia let go of Lingling and walked towards the door with a bright smile.

Entering the study, Bai Rongxuan had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.

After some pleasantries, Bai Rongxuan said: "Your Highness's face is glowing today. Did he encounter something happy?"

"Haha, I'll tell you in a few days. I came to you today for two things. By the way, how are the sales of our Qiankun bags?"

Liu Xia asked.

"I am also preparing to come to you to tell you about this. The sales of Qiankun bags are extremely hot. Most of them have been sold so far. I have sent the money to the Jiangzhou camp."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"That's good. Give me all the remaining silver and exchange it for food and grass, and then send it to the southeastern border guard camp."

Liu Xia instructed.

"This matter is easy to handle, but isn't the southeastern border camp always provided by the imperial court? Why does the prince have to pay for it himself?"

Bai Rongxuan asked.

"When the Nangong family looted the southeastern border guard camp and confiscated the Nangong family, these supplies had already arrived at their military camp. With the defeat of their army, they had already started to search for them. The imperial court's supplies would only start in October. Therefore, at this time, there was no supply.

.”

Liu Xia explained.

"The southeastern border guard army has left and is weak. Your Majesty has prepared food and wages for them. Do you want them to be the main force when preparing to suppress the bandits?"

Bai Rongxuan asked worriedly.

"Sooner or later, the imperial army's southern expedition will have to evacuate, and we still have to rely on them on the southeast coast. This time I am here, and it is really a good opportunity to supervise and hone them."

Liu Xia smiled.

"Most of the money in the Qiankun bag has been given to the navy. The remaining money is probably not enough to sustain the army for three months. The prince still has to think of other ways."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"Didn't I find you today?"

Liu Xia smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if our Bai family goes bankrupt, we will definitely meet your Majesty's requirements."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"No, no, no, no, no. You and I have known each other for many years. As friends, I should let you make money. I can't let you make money every time. I came to you this time to ask what the business scene is like on the southeastern coast."

Liu Xia said seriously.

"Well, the prince must have heard something?"

Bai Rongxuan asked tentatively.

"Just say it."

Liu Xia smiled.

"The Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is slightly different from other chambers of commerce in the Tianji Dynasty. To be honest with the prince, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is extremely xenophobic. No matter whether it is our Xiangrui Trading Company or the previous Southern Chamber of Commerce, or even the famous Northern Alliance in Dragon Soul Continent, they can't get involved here. They have been here since

If you form a faction, once other chambers of commerce enter this place, they will try their best to squeeze you out. Other chambers of commerce have no way of establishing a foothold here."

Bai Rongxuan said.

"It seems that the Nangong family is probably the owner behind them. Otherwise, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce would not be so domineering."

Liu Xia said.

"The circle of the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is very closed. I heard that every year when the monsoon comes, the price of their goods is several times cheaper than elsewhere. And they often purchase large quantities of grain, steel, and some weapons.

"Last year, I heard that they ordered a group of warships during the Jiangnan Ship Visit, saying they were used to protect caravans."

"They all went to customize warships?"

When Liu Xia heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.

"I heard that's the case, but our chamber of commerce has a normal relationship with Jiangnan Ship Visit, and there is very little business dealings. Therefore, we don't know the specific situation at the moment."

Bai Rongxuan explained.

"I am dissatisfied with Brother Bai. I now suspect that there is trade between the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce and the pirates, which is an important source of income for the pirates. The imperial court is determined to suppress the pirates this time. Therefore, I want to cut off their ties first.

Cailu. However, I don’t have any evidence in my hand at the moment, so it’s not convenient for me to act. What I mean is, I want to ask Brother Bai to forcefully enter here and help me spy on the situation."

Liu Xia said.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that we have to fight a business war. I'm afraid there will be some losses. The Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is too united. I'm afraid that the Bai family can't support it alone."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"Well, I'll be your backer. I just want to force them to jump over the wall. If you want money, the court will pay it to you."

Liu Xia smiled.

"If the prince comes forward, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce will not have a problem. Don't worry, prince, I know what to do."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"I always trust you when doing things. If there is any problem, I will take care of it for you. Go ahead and do it boldly. As long as the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce dares to misbehave, I can deal with them. I saved Shui after overthrowing the Southern Chamber of Commerce last time.

Division Camp. If we overthrow them this time, I believe we can also revive the Southeast Border Guard Camp."

Liu Xia smiled slightly.

"I understand, I have to resign."

Bai Rongxuan smiled.

"I send you."
