Lou Yan and Qin Yi came out of Qinzheng Hall at the same time.
Qin Yi straightened his sleeves, looked sideways at Lou Yan, and said angrily: "Thanks to your lord, I have gained such a great achievement in vain. After this time, I am afraid that I, the young minister of Dali Temple, will not be able to do my job for long.
It’s time for a promotion.”
Lou Yan: "...Congratulations."
Qin Yi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Lou Yan followed two steps behind and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, if the prince and Xiao Yao cause trouble for you, I will step in to solve it."
Qin Yi glanced at him: "You should have solved it."
You are about to roast someone else's uncle alive. Who else will trouble you if he doesn't trouble you?
Lou Yan nodded: "It's really my turn."
He stopped pestering Qin Yi and turned back to his mansion.
After returning home, he didn't do anything. He took Linglong and started settling accounts.
When the emperor returns all the money he raised for food and grass, and now that the family has it, it will already be considered a large sum of money.
But Lou Yan still felt dissatisfied when looking at these things.
Linglong looked at the account book and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think these things should be enough. The last time I saw the fourth prince taking a concubine, the betrothal gift for the daughter of the Yun family was only a little more than this."
Lou Yan looked over at once, his eyes a little dissatisfied: "Why, is Zhen Zhen not as good as the daughter of the Yun family?"
Linglong: "This is not what I mean."
"Then what is the identity of the Yun family's daughter, what is Zhen Zhen's identity, and how can she deserve to be compared with Zhen Zhen?" Lou Yan said coldly, "She has everything, how can Zhen Zhen be less than her?"
Lou Yan frowned and looked at the account book, and said in a deep voice: "This is not even close."
Linglong hesitated for a moment and whispered: "If we add more, I'm afraid it will be equivalent to the princess's betrothal gift. I am worried that it is unreasonable and will cause people to gossip."
"The Crown Princess is not as good as her." Lou Yan said coldly.
"When the time comes, who dares to gossip?"
Linglong looked at her prince and silently closed her mouth.
She finally understood how reserved and low-key the prince was. He would never change his clothes until they were in tatters, and he had no valuable accessories, and he only had to eat three meals a day.
However, once the matter concerns the princess, everything changes.
The materials used to make clothes for the princess must be the best and freshest in the capital. The things placed in the princess's house must be made of the best wood and the most beautiful styles, even the curtains.
That is also the best fabric. The hairpins and earrings prepared for the princess are also valuable things, and none of them are cheap.
In this palace, the room where the princess lives is the most magnificent, almost catching up with the rooms of the imperial concubines and empresses in the palace.
She is stingy and careless about herself, but she wants to give the princess the best things in the world in front of her, for fear of causing the princess to suffer even the slightest injustice.
Linglong couldn't help but think that if the princess could really marry, then the prince would not know how to love the princess.
——
Liu Changsong's incident lasted for more than ten days.
This matter was very involved and caused His Majesty to be furious in the court on several occasions.
Because of this matter, the fourth prince Xiao Yao has been severely reprimanded several times by Xiao Chengye in front of all the civil and military officials. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fourth prince is afraid that he will fall out of favor.
Qin Yi also didn't go home for several days because of this incident.
Xiao Yu hadn't seen her husband for several days, and she felt depressed. She couldn't help but want to go back to the palace several times to find the emperor and ask the emperor to return her husband to her. Qin Zhen tried hard to persuade her.
On this day, Qin Yi finally came back from the palace.
Xiao Yu was very happy, and greeted him from a distance, saying distressedly: "You are finally back, you don't know how long I have spent..."
"Baby, be good, wait a minute." Qin Yi hugged Xiao Yu, patted Xiao Yu's back, and coaxed softly, "I have something very important to discuss with Zhen Zhen now, you first
Can you go back to your room and wait for me?"
Xiao Yu frowned, a little reluctant.
She hadn't seen Qin Yi for many days and missed him very much.
Qin Yi lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yu's forehead again, and said, "Go back to your room and prepare bath water and a change of clothes for me. I don't have time to change these days, and I feel very uncomfortable."
After saying that, he leaned over and whispered in Xiao Yu's ear: "Wash yourself by the way and wait for me in the room, okay?"
Xiao Yu blushed at what he said, looked at him shyly and said, "Then come back quickly."
Qin Yi smiled and coaxed the person away. His face immediately changed and he went to Qin Zhen's yard in a menacing manner.
Qin Zhen knew that Qin Yi was back, and also knew that Qin Yi would definitely come to find her, so she waited in the house.
She originally thought that Qin Yi would tell her about Liu Changsong. After all, she had explicitly hinted several times that she was determined to deal with Liu Changsong. But she did not expect that what Qin Yi said when he came in was not about Liu Changsong at all.
"You, quickly disassociate yourself from the third prince and stop having any contact with him." This is what Qin Yi said.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"I said, don't have any contact with the third prince anymore, and quickly draw a clear line with him." Qin Yi said in a deep voice, "We cannot provoke people like the third prince. If you really marry him in the future, if
No matter how wronged you have been, it would be difficult for me to save you."
Qin Zhen frowned slowly and asked sensitively: "What happened?"
Qin Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't tell what happened in the prison. He only said: "He is not suitable for you."
Qin Zhen: "...what happened?"
Seeing her asking, Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "Do you know that the third prince is crazy?"
Qin Zhen was startled, stood up immediately, and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
Lou Yan hasn't come to see him these days, and he doesn't pay attention to his affairs. I really don't know when he will.
Qin Yi said angrily: "He seems to be crazy about poverty. He goes to His Majesty every day to beat the autumn wind. Today he wants a string of beads and tomorrow he wants a bracelet... In short, he seems to have got into the eyes of money. That's all.
All I want are women’s things, and I don’t know what to do with them.”
"There were a lot of discussions in the court, saying that the prince might have fallen in love with a girl from some family. However, his family was poor and he was short of money, so he shamelessly ran to find your majesty. You don't know that your majesty is angry because of this matter.
My face was distorted and I felt very embarrassed."
After hearing this, Qin Zhen looked a little confused.
Lou Yan...whose girl has he fallen in love with?
Even for her sake, he shamelessly went to His Majesty to ask for money?
And which girl is it that is so greedy and coaxes Lou Yan to do this ridiculous thing? Does she like Lou Yan as a person or because of Lou Yan's money?
