Xiao Yu didn't know what he was going to ask. He looked at Baiyue's rough face, but he still pursed his lips and waved his hand, "Get out of here!"
"Yes!" The prince's thoughts have always been the most difficult to guess, and Baiyue now has to admit that in terms of trying to figure out his intentions, he is indeed not as good as Huang Zicheng, and maybe not even as good as the one named Huo.
However, now it is proved that what Huang Zicheng said is right, the prince does care more about the princess.
"I should tell Huo to take good care of the princess. I don't know what kind of chaos will happen in the capital."
He was muttering to himself, but Xiao Yu heard it and said, "Send Xiao Yi to the mansion."
Baiyue had already stepped out with one foot, and turned his head when he heard this, "Where did the prince say he would send Xiao Yi?"
"Put it next to the princess! There is no need to let her know. When I go back, I will still go back to the original place as a errand."
Xiao Yi is the second largest secret guard in front of the prince, but he is actually sent to protect the princess?
Baiyue felt it was a bit wasteful, but he didn't dare to say more.
"Let Huang Zicheng and the others keep an eye on the Qi family, and don't let them get on the boat in the East Palace."
"Yes!" When the Qi family was mentioned, Baiyue was also very unhappy. The news that Xie Songhua was called to the Xie family to greet Jiang Shuhua had already been reported.
I don't know what kind of brain this person named Qi has. He actually asked the princess to take care of the prince's concubine. He simply didn't take Prince Chen's palace seriously.
The prince didn't say anything before, and it was difficult for them to take action. Now that the prince has said this, Huang Zicheng can let go.
Therefore, within a few days, some people began to pay attention to the fact that the second master of the Qi family came to Beijing to kill people and took part in the investigation of the eldest master of the Qi family.
This matter has long been settled under the prince's instruction, and no one dares to bring trouble to the East Palace at this time.
Now this suddenly appeared again, making the prince very irritable.
But his most important task at the moment is to serve Emperor Yufeng. The affairs of the court are naturally handled by six ministries and three divisions. He cannot interfere too much, otherwise it will easily cause trouble for himself.
Right now the third child is watching her closely.
It just so happens that when he takes the throne in the future, he will have to cultivate some of his confidants. If the Qi family doesn't even have this ability, it won't be of much practical significance to win over them now.
The prince can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but Jiang Shuhua cannot.
After what happened last time, the Xie family has now completely abandoned her. The things and letters they sent several times have been sent back intact, and even the Qi family has not sent her much money recently.
Now she is the Crown Prince Liangdi. Apart from the Crown Princess and the two concubines, she has the highest status in the East Palace. In order to pave the way for the future, she must not be stingy at this time. The gaps between her fingers are wide, and as a result, there is nothing in her hands.
Money.
She had no choice but to set her sights on the Qi family again.
Although the Qi family is not as wealthy as the Xie family, they are still a well-established family for many years, otherwise they would not have been able to marry the Xie family in the first place.
It just so happened that the little princess turned 100 days old, and following the Queen's order, she wanted to go to Lingxiao to see a peace talisman that was personally consecrated by the Imperial Master, so she diverted to the Qi Mansion.
Everyone in the Qi family was very happy to hear that she was coming. Mrs. Qi even personally greeted her at the door of Chuihua.
When I saw the infant princess, I wanted to hug her but I didn't dare.
Jiang Shuhua didn't have any airs at all, "Why should grandma be so careful? How noble is she? Her mother is also your granddaughter. It is her blessing that you hold her!"
It was just like before, Mrs. Qi suddenly smiled brightly, "Liangdi really still has such a temper, it really makes me love her so much."
Today, I came to the Qijia to ask for financial support. Naturally, Jiang Shuhua made friends with them in every possible way, and would say anything nice to them as if they were free of charge.
Then she talked about the situation in the palace. On the one hand, she showed off her royal dignity, on the other hand, she spared no effort to cry for poverty. Then she looked forward to the beautiful picture after she waited for the prince to ascend the throne.
After such a continuous fight, Mrs. Qi was very sensible. Even though she gave her five thousand taels of silver notes, she was afraid that Jiang Shuhua would not take it, so she pushed her away several times before accepting it with a look of shame on her face. Naturally, she did not forget to thank her grandmother.
of love.
When the carriage drove out of Qi Mansion, the expression on Jiang Shuhua's face dropped.
"Is the Qi family now in such a state of decline? How could they give me a mere five thousand taels of silver and treat me as a beggar as the crown prince Liangdi?"
Hearing her somewhat angry voice, Xizhu didn't dare to speak. After a while, he opened his mouth to defend the Qi family, "I heard that the second master had the same virtues when he was in office as he is now in the capital.
Money comes, as if life is at stake.
There are several young masters in the house who are also following in their footsteps. No matter how wealthy the Xie family was in the past, they probably won’t be able to sustain it for long after being squandered like this!”
It's not that Jiang Shuhua didn't know about these things, but in her opinion, the Qi family's offer of such a small amount of money was not sincere enough, and their surrender to her was just a lip service, with no real intention to honor it.
She had to quickly find a way to get a pen mark. If Emperor Yufeng died like this and the prince ascended the throne, that would be the time for her to get more energetic.
After the enthronement ceremony, there will soon be the canonization ceremony. By then, she will naturally be regarded as a person who came out of the dormitory. This is the first time for canonization. What position she can get depends on whether she has enough money.
many.
"Later, you can group together the several shops under my name and find a way to meet with the shopkeepers of those shops. I want to check the accounts."
Xizhu was surprised for a moment, and then said: "If the master is afraid that the people below are playing tricks, it would be better to hand over the shop to the wife to help manage it. After all, those shops are all owned by the wife."
"What nonsense!" Thinking of Qi's useless look, Jiang Shuhua felt angry, "My mother has a second brother! When my second brother gets married in the future, my mother will have to pay a large sum of money as a bride price.
Carefully, you pulled my things in, and I won't be able to explain it clearly in the future."
After hearing what she said, Xizhu didn't dare to say any more words.
Jiang Shuhua was thinking about the money, when the carriage suddenly jolted, she frowned and glanced at Xizhu.
Xizhu understood immediately, "How did you drive? You almost bumped Liangdi and the princess."
The little princess was still young and was sleeping soundly. This jolt did not wake her up.
Jiang Shuhua smiled when she saw this, but then she felt something was not normal.
Xizhu scolded the coachman outside, but there was no reply at all. Where did the coachman come from? How could he be so bold?
And one more thing, why did the carriage stop? Besides, the road back to the palace is a big road, and there are people in charge keeping an eye on it every day. How could there be something in the middle of the road?
Xizhu also noticed something was wrong with the coachman. He immediately opened the curtain and was about to scold him when he said half a word. The second half of the word was still stuck in his throat and he immediately changed his tune. It sounded a bit scary.
.
Jiang Shuhua moved her eyes away from the child's face and saw the situation on the car's shaft.
The coachman who had been working so hard all this time was actually dead. Blood was still dripping from his neck, which fell on his clothes and was stained with a large dark color.
"Is this the Donggong Jiang Liangdi on the carriage? Our master has invited you."
