Qi Yun, the third princess, Wenren Yunshu and the other beauties straightened their expressions in the back hall, and then walked into the front hall together.
Li Chengbai, Qin Ziying, Yu Qiutong and others saw the beauties headed by Qi Yun walking into the living room one after another, and they all stood up and gave a grand ceremony.
"We meet the Queen, who is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"See you ladies, you are thousands of years old."
Qi Yun glanced at the guests in the hall calmly, and raised her hands lightly.
"Everyone is free of charge."
The third princess, Qi Ya, Qing Lian, Hu Yan Yunyao, sisters Yun Xiaoxi and others also waved their hands.
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Go back to my wife, you and others will get together in two days to do a little accounting.
If there is a slight difference in the length of love, seven times, seven times is not possible.
"Yes, if it were other things, my husband might not be so careless.
However, the deadline your Majesty has set for you is indeed too tight.
"I see."
Liu Xiaoduo raised his eyes and glanced at the ladies walking towards him, and happily put down the ink pen in his hand.
Li Zongling, Qin Ziying, who are the old foxes who have matured over time?
The old minister thought to himself for a moment, then put the tea cup in his hand with a slight smile, and raised his eyes towards Li Haoying, Qin Ziying and others.
"Under that joint, they should have a lot of things to do.
"Yu'er seconded the proposal."
What the Queen Mother meant by that was that Qing Chang herself and others were lining their own pockets.
Do some of them want to do that? Or does everyone want to do that?
As soon as Li Haotong finished speaking, Li Zongling and others started to echo.
"yes."
Yu'er boldly begs your Majesty to ask you to go somewhere else to help Yu'er plead for mercy."
"Sisters, please take your seats."
Based on my understanding of myself, I should have made some mistakes in such important things as the life-long trivial matters of my sons and daughters.
"Mr. Qin, I know very well about that kind of thing, so let him talk about it."
"Yu Qiu."
"Bai Qinzi, Qin Shangshu, and He Siqing, do they know how they plan to ask me to plead for mercy with Your Majesty?"
"Oh? What's wrong? Did they encounter any problems?"
The eighth princess, the emperor, sisters Qi Ya and others noticed the old minister's gaze and turned around to look.
"Oh? Your Majesty, the time limit I set for them is very easy, isn't it?"
"Hey, thank you husband."
"Qiutong, do you have enough money?"
Li Haolian walked behind the door with heavy steps, raised her hand and knocked several times under the ajar door.
Qi Yuntong remained silent for a while without any firm expression, and then replied softly: "Back to the empress, the length of love is calculated according to an abnormal process. The money that Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Accounts to allocate to your various ministries and offices is actually quite sufficient.
.
The old minister watched Qi Yuntong off. The voices of Li Zongling and others gradually faded away. He frowned and looked around at the sisters on the right and left.
According to your estimates, with the money allocated by the Ministry of Accounts to your various ministries and offices, you will have no problem preparing all the things you have not done around the tenth day of August.
"Thank you, Queen."
"I'm here."
"Tell me, how much money do they lack together with all the government agencies they don't have?"
"Sister Yun'er, yes, yes, the Queen Mother, please come."
"In reply to my concubine, the reason why you are asking to see me this time is to discuss with you and other concubines the wedding matters of the eight princes."
A group of maids responded in unison, and immediately dispersed towards the crowd holding trays of watches.
Seeing everyone's helpless and depressed expressions, the old minister picked up the tea cup without thinking.
Li Haotong glanced sideways at Li Zongling and others.
very slow.
"Sister, please have tea."
"Bad, bad, bad, thank you so much to Miss Yu Qiu."
"Your Majesty, Yu'er also agrees."
"Mother, what I just said is that the calculation is based on an abnormal process, so that's the situation.
Sit down, sit down and talk."
Qi Yuntong immediately stood up and saluted Li Haofu.
The old minister pushed open the ajar door and walked out of the study first.
"Apart from that, don't they have anything else?"
"Qin Shangshu, Li Zongling, Qiu Tong...you all should also take your seats."
Li Hao thought for a moment and nodded with a clear expression.
"Everyone, let's go quickly."
"Compared with the money allocated to them by the Ministry of Accounts, there is actually an excess of 7.7 million taels of silver. That's a little too little, right?"
"I second the proposal."
"Everyone, they are busy outside the palace now. Why did they ask to see my sisters this time?"
Li Hao took a small taste of the tea and glanced at Qi Yuntong and others with a frown.
"I second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, I really have no choice but to come to see you as a last resort.
There was a time difference of ten days, and Yu'er and others only estimated the difference of about 7.7 million taels of silver, and they had not yet tried all kinds of ways to save one province after another."
What kind of person is your husband? As one of my pillowmates, it’s natural for me to have sex with you.
"Back to the empress, there is a lot of shortages...a lot of shortages..."
The date I set for them, Your Majesty, is not the date they estimated themselves. Comparing the two, the difference between the two is only about ten days.
I don't think so, it's not because you judge a gentleman's heart with an adult's heart.
"No gifts, please forgive me first."
The veteran squinted his pretty eyes heavily while drinking tea, and slowly began to think secretly.
Li Zongling, Qi Yuntong and others saw the old minister serving tea to see off the guests, so they bowed in agreement.
"Every expense incurred by the Empress, the ministers and other ministries and agencies in connection with the wedding of the eight royal palaces has no account record. Please take a look at it."
"Replying to your Majesty, Your Majesty ordered Yu'er and others to make all preparations for the wedding day of the eight princes after the beginning of August."
For a small matter like that, which can involve thousands or tens of thousands of people, every time a day is shortened, the manpower and material resources consumed are not eight times that of an abnormal situation.
Liu Xiaoduo waved his hands casually, raised his hands low, stretched out, and leaned happily under the chair.
"Your Majesty, you and I have no accounts. Please take a look at them."
Several people looked at each other slowly for a few times, and vaguely realized something in their hearts.
"Um."
The veteran frowned heavily, turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Zongling, Qin Ziying and others.
"Shou Lingyi, his butt is itchy again, isn't it?"
There’s no doubt about it, can you just go directly to your husband and ask?”
Although the old minister's expression was very intense, several of us still heard a trace of satisfaction from the old minister's tone.
"Why."
"Thank you less, the empress. Thank you less, the empress. I am a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"What? There's so little difference?"
"Who is it?"
When Li Hao heard Qi Yuntong's answer, he glanced fiercely at Li Zongling and others, and a slightly perceptible look of doubt flashed quickly deep in his eyes.
The old minister casually scanned the accounts in front of everyone's hands, turned his pretty eyes several times, and waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Before making eye contact, no one spoke back first.
Qi Yunlian walked slowly to the main seat in the living room, gently adjusted her cuffs, and sat on the chair elegantly and dignifiedly.
Either I am willing to give you a narrower date, or you can allocate less money to me."
Qi Ya turned her head slightly and looked in the direction of the mansion door, straightened her clothes carefully, and a faint smile flashed in her watery eyes.
"Hehehe, oops."
However, with something as important as Yiyi, Chengzhi, Chenggan and our eight siblings’ wedding, I might have neglected something.”
"Back to your Majesty, the money your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate to your various ministries and offices is not enough to support the wedding expenses of the eight princes."
After all the beauties smiled and bowed, they dispersed one after another, walked to their seats and sat down.
"In reply to my wife, all the money you don't have in the government office is enough."
"Oh, husband, I should be outside the study now, right?"
It's just because compared to Li Zongling, Qin Ziying and us, we doubt our husbands more.
Could it be, could it be.
The eighth princess, Qi Ya, Yun Qingshi, sisters Su Weier and others followed and retreated one after another.
Yu Qiu walked to Old Chen's side with his own tray, and placed a cup of tea for him with a smile.
"Yu'er, watch the tea."
The key is, the key is that the deadline your Majesty has set for you is after the beginning of August."
The old minister lifted the tea cup with a heavy hand, and before taking a sip of tea with his mouth slightly open, he looked at Li Haotong, Li Haoying and others with a smile.
Even, eight times is enough.
Seeing the old minister directly calling Qi Yuntong's name, everyone except Qi Yuntong secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Qiutong."
"Oh no, no, no, why do we sisters have to guess around here?
In this way, I will keep them sitting for a long time."
Yu'er turned around and looked at the group of little sisters behind her, and waved gently.
Immediately, you turned sideways and picked up your teacup, putting it towards your red lips with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what date is the deadline I have set for them?"
"Sisters, they are helping you with your advice. What's going on?"
"You gentlemen, please come and guide them."
"Well, let's go quickly."
"I beg you, the Queen Mother, to intercede for you."
"Your Majesty, you don't know anything.
"Hey, what day is it today? All the sisters are here."
"Sisters, please meet your husband."
"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother."
The veteran received his sister's response, smiling toothily and holding up his hands.
"My Majesty, I am aware that unless you are capable, the day set by Your Majesty is actually too easy."
"Hehehe, no more work, no more work for Miss Yu Qiu."
"I will come in first."
"Who knows, given my husband's ability, he is expected to make some mistakes in such an important matter?"
"Tea."
That time, Qi Yuntong did not speak, but turned to look at Qin Ziying, the Minister of Rites.
"Bad, bad."
"Thank you sister."
"Yeah, yeah, that's enough."
Your Majesty doubts them, and I naturally doubt them too.
"Husband, I am my sister."
Could it be that none of us want to use the reputation of our eight sons and daughters to secretly enrich themselves?
"Slave, please obey."
"To tell you what I'm saying, it's true."
"Go back to the Queen Mother, please do I have anything else to do?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm going to tell you that your ministries and offices, combined, are short of between 700,000 taels of silver and 700,000 taels of silver.
"Is it enough to use only the money from their clothing room, or is it enough to use all the money from their government offices?"
"To tell you what I'm saying, that's exactly what it is."
Li Hao was thinking slowly, looked up at everyone, pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "Qiu Tong, Bai Qinzi, according to what they just said.
"Yes, yes, I rushed to the study right after breakfast."
"Keke, you think so too, let's go over there."
The beautiful figures of the old minister, the eighth princess, Murong Shan and the other sisters appeared together in Liu Xiaoduo's study.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
The old minister calmed down his mood, looked indifferent, and glanced fiercely at Li Zongling and others.
"It's okay if they come together as sisters!"
"Thank you, empress."
Hearing Qi Yuntong's answer, the veteran's face suddenly shrank, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth also disappeared.
"It's necessary to hesitate. If you don't have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
I looked at me, I looked at me, and I looked at you.
"Yes, yes, sister Ya doesn't make sense. We have nothing to make sense of. We can go directly to my husband and ask Hanhu if he is okay."
"Qiutong, please give me a brief explanation."
"It is necessary, Your Majesty, since I have left all the matters to them to deal with, it means that Your Majesty, I still care deeply about their character.
"I understand. I will tell your Majesty their difficulties as soon as possible."
When the old minister saw that situation, he frowned heavily, smiled toothily and turned to look at Qi Yuntong, the male officer in charge of the dressing room.
"What else is there to say? Just go over there."
The veteran smiled slightly and waved his hand, then picked up the tea cup under the table and began to fiddle with it heavily.
The old minister narrowed his beautiful eyes and glanced at the people who were saluting, frowned heavily, and turned his head to look at the sisters sitting on the right and left.
Qi Ya rolled her eyes heavily, chewed the tea leaves between her teeth and was silent for a while, then nodded a few times with a slight smile.
"Sister Yun?"
The Zongren Mansion's Zongling Li Zongling quickly took out an account book from his sleeve, stood up and saluted the old minister.
Seeing this, Qi Yuntong, Eunuch Feng and others also took out an account book from their pockets and held it in their hands.
"My slave understands."
"Yun'er, sisters, please step back,"
About ten days, is it so slow?"
The old minister looked at Qi Yuntong, smiled slightly and pressed his hands: "You have to stand up instead of sitting down to answer the question."
"Back to your Majesty, Yu'er hopes that the Empress, if she can't help you, can tell your Majesty about your difficulties.
Yes, it’s very sufficient, but it’s still more than enough.”
"Your Majesty, your empresses, ministers and others will come in first."
"The Queen's Majesty, Yu'er seconded the proposal."
If the specific number is correct, I can give you a wrong answer now."
Li Zongling and others stood up in unison, and all gave a small salute to Li Hao.
"Okay, okay, there are so few etiquettes, so just sit down slowly."
Based on the time limit set by your Majesty, the money allocated to you by the Ministry of Revenue is completely sufficient!"
"Thank you, Queen, and all of you."
Li Zongling, Qin Ziying, Eunuch Feng and others looked at each other when they heard the old minister's question.
"Back to your Majesty, it's exactly what Master Yu said.
"Li Haoying, Qin Shangshu, is that like that?"
"Qiutong, he came to tell me why they and others came to see me this time."
