The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold

"My lady, it is now the hour of Si."

"It's only the hour of Si, why is she here?" Could it be that she is here just to get a free meal?

She remembered that she was clearly asked to come over in the afternoon.

"My queen, are you going to let the Sixth Princess in?"

The maid who delivered the message asked with gritted teeth.

"Now that she's here, let her in."

"Yes."

The maidservant rushed to pass on the message as if she had received an imperial decree.

The Sixth Princess came over very quickly, not caring about her image at all.

Are you letting yourself go like this?

Qin Zhongyue had an illusion that the Sixth Princess was as happy as a bird returning to its nest.

Looking at the eunuchs and palace maids following behind her carrying gifts, Qin Zhongyue couldn't help but narrow her eyes. This Sixth Princess is quite capable of handling things.

"Jingxian meets the princess and sister-in-law!"

The Sixth Princess knelt down obediently to greet Qin Zhongyue.

"No need to be so polite. Didn't I ask you to come this afternoon?"

Qin Zhongyue asked the Sixth Princess directly.

The Sixth Princess discovered that when she first came in, the princess' sister-in-law had a look of obvious impatience on her face, but after seeing the gift boxes behind her, her expression began to change.

It turned out that I had foresight.

What the book says about being polite is not a bad thing, and it really makes sense.

"Hehe, isn't the Empress Dowager coming to the palace?

I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.

Princess, please tell Jingxian if you have anything to say. You are welcome."

Qin Zhongyue knew that she applied for it herself, so she didn't hesitate.

"You said it yourself. There really is something you can do."

The Sixth Princess had no sense of crisis at all. Instead, she happily waited for her sister-in-law, the Princess, to give her instructions.

"Princess Sister-in-law, just give your orders."

"Since you know that the Queen Mother came to the palace, you should also know why she came."

"I know. The Empress Dowager is not feeling well. Please come over here and let the Princess take care of her."

Of course she knew that the news had spread in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the opportunity to come here early with such a thick face.

"That's good to know. The Queen Mother's condition is specifically due to narcolepsy. If we want to cure her, we have to spend time every day to help her cheer up."

Qin Zhongyue took another sip of scented tea as she spoke. Bailing had already poured tea for the Sixth Princess.

This was the first time that Princess Six drank floral tea with this flavor. She liked it very much and could feel the fragrance of flowers in her mouth after drinking it.

"how should I do?"

"Come here every afternoon and play mahjong with the Empress Dowager."

"Play mahjong?"

The Sixth Princess thought she had heard wrongly.

"Why don't you want to?

What did the person just say, is there anything you can just give orders for?

Are you regretting it now before it even starts?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised that playing Mahjong can cure diseases."

The Sixth Princess had never heard that playing Mahjong could cure diseases, so she was surprised.

"The Empress Dowager was too bored all day long. She would just stare blankly or sleep when no one was around. Over time, she became sleepy. Playing mahjong can refresh her mind, so playing mahjong can cure her sleepiness.

Are you going to do it or not?

You don't know how to play mahjong, do you? "

Qin Zhongyue explained it so clearly because the Sixth Princess volunteered.

She was just wondering where to find someone to play mahjong with her, and then the Sixth Princess came to her door.

Even if she doesn't know how, she needs someone to teach her!

"I will. I will play mahjong with the Empress Dowager!"

The Sixth Princess secretly felt lucky that she had just learned it not long ago, otherwise she would have been despised to death.

"That's good, it can be regarded as your filial piety."

"It should."

The Sixth Princess said something polite, but Qin Zhongyue poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Que will not come today, and I don't know when he will come again."

"Is it because I came that she didn't come?"

The Sixth Princess wondered how she would live if she couldn’t buy the beauty water.

"Her family is splitting up because of you."

Qin Zhongyue will not give her any face in this matter. This is all the result of her own actions, and she must taste the bitterness and sweetness of the consequences.

"Well, how about I go to Fang's house and explain things clearly now?"

The Sixth Princess did not expect that the two men would rather split up than compromise because of her persistence.

She suddenly felt that it was impossible for her to defeat Que.

It might even make you feel stupider.

"They have already separated, what else do you need to say? If you go now, you will just add fuel to the fire."

Qin Zhongyue saw that there was a hint of change in the Sixth Princess's eyes. She really started to reflect on herself.

"Well, I won't bother them anymore, so as not to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings.

If Que doesn't come today, then when will she come?"

When can I buy beauty water?

Qin Zhongyue heard what the Sixth Princess said. This was his main purpose. It turned out that women would give up everything to strengthen themselves.

To be honest, Qin Zhongyue admires the Sixth Princess like this.

Unlike those women who can't live without men, she really doesn't like them at all. However, everyone has their own way of living, and she is just a bystander and does not comment.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you afraid? Just stay here with the Grand Empress Dowager every day. When Que comes, you will eventually meet her."

“Sister-in-law is right, where is the Empress Dowager now?

When did you start playing mahjong with her?

It's not okay for me to accompany the Grand Empress Dowager alone, we are still short of two people, can the Princess and Sister-in-law come with us?"

The Sixth Princess felt that if she could stay with the Princess and her sister-in-law every day, their relationship would definitely grow stronger day by day, which was not bad!

There was nothing to do in the palace anyway, and she had to be ordered around by the Queen Mother from time to time. She also had to do everything she could to be on guard against the people on the Queen Mother's side. She almost wished she could not go back to the palace.

Seeing her eager expression, Qin Zhongyue said, "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager is resting now. Let's talk about it after she wakes up. You should rest for a while too."

Qin Zhongyue called Bailing over and whispered something to her, then Bailing went out.

"I'm not tired, sister-in-law, what do you usually do at home?"

The Sixth Princess discovered that her sister-in-law, the Princess, was very different from other ladies from wealthy families, and that she was someone that made people want to get close to her.

Although she doesn't understand etiquette, others do it no worse than her, a princess who grew up in the palace since childhood, as if she was supposed to be the one high and mighty.

Sometimes when I am with the princess and sister-in-law, I feel more like a peasant.

"Do whatever you want to do, and do nothing when you don't want to do anything."

Qin Zhongyue's casual answer was not a lie.

"Princess, Master Tao is here to deliver a small porcelain bottle."

Dujuan came in from outside and reported in a low voice.

"Oh, tell him to wait in the front yard. I'll be right there."

Qin Zhongyue was happy when he heard this, as he finally had something to do.

There will be income!

The Sixth Princess had been pricking up her ears. She saw that the princess, sister-in-law and the maids went to the front. There was no one else here and the Empress Dowager was still resting. She had nothing to do, so she followed the princess, sister-in-law and the maids.

Seeing that the princess and sister-in-law did not stop him, he became even happier. He jumped around like a child, without any trace of his usual calm and proper manners.

Qin Zhongyue was speechless when he found her like this.

If she hadn't been there, between now and the first time they met, I wouldn't have considered her a human being.

I don’t know whether he was pretending before or he is pretending now.

Master Tao was waiting with a carefully packed bamboo tube-shaped exquisite small porcelain bottle. Because it was to be used to hold beauty water, he had instructed that it must be clean and hygienic, otherwise what he would be using would be soft straw.

"I greet the princess. Long live the princess!"

"No gift."

Qin Zhongyue personally stepped forward and took out two porcelain bottles, one large and one small, to examine them.

When she got the small porcelain bottle, she found it felt very good, the workmanship was very fine and exquisite, better than she had imagined.

It is indeed the work of a master. If it weren't for the cool feel of porcelain, I would have thought it was a bamboo tube from a distance.

I didn't expect that the housekeeper was capable of finding such a craftsman.

It is true that if the steward of the palace does not have some ability, he cannot be the steward of the palace. However, if he has ability, he has ability, and he should be rewarded for a good job. This way, the next time he is asked to do something, he will be more dedicated.

Qin Zhongyue had the system check it thoroughly and found no problems. The anti-counterfeiting mark was also very secretive. "The butler will settle the bill with Master Tao. Bailing, go get the silver."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The butler wanted to say that the prince had said that the princess could use the palace's public account to do anything, but there were so many people around now, and he didn't want to talk about these private matters in front of outsiders. It would be better for him to talk to Bailing in private, and then let Bailing tell the princess.

The Sixth Princess looked at those small bamboo porcelain bottles and couldn't wait to get her hands on them.

This is because the shape of the small bamboo porcelain bottle is exactly the same as the bamboo jar containing beauty water, but it is more exquisite and has a small lid with bamboo leaves. It is really beautiful!

Looking at the porcelain bottle, could it be that the princess and her sister-in-law and Mrs. Que are doing the beauty water business together?

Otherwise, why would the princess-in-law order so many small porcelain bottles?

There are a lot of people here now, and it's not convenient to ask the princess and sister-in-law in front of outsiders.

Master Tao settled his bills and received a generous reward. He left happily, but before leaving he took the same business from the princess and went back to continue working on it.

The Sixth Princess finally waited until all the outsiders had left and she was left alone with her sister-in-law, the princess consort, and a few trusted maids. Just as she was about to ask something, the Grand Empress Dowager woke up.

"Walk."

Qin Zhongyue said a word, and the group went to the backyard.

It was noon and time for lunch. Qin Zhongyue had lunch placed in the Empress Dowager's courtyard so that she could eat with her.

"Xi Que, go ask the prince if he is in the palace. If he is, ask him to come and have dinner with you."

"Yes."

"Is this Xiaoliu?"

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised when she saw the Sixth Princess following behind Qin Zhongyue.

The Sixth Princess was rarely seen on weekdays. She could only be seen on the first and fifteenth day of every month when the concubines in the harem paid their respects to her. She was almost never seen on other days.

It is said that the Sixth Princess is rarely in the palace on weekdays. She seems to be obsessed with the eldest son of the Fang family. It caused a lot of controversy a few days ago.

Because he was raised by the Queen Mother, he was not very close to her.

If you didn't see this in the palace, would you be surprised?

Even the Empress Dowager who lived deep in the palace knew about the Sixth Princess' deeds, which shows how ugly the incident was.

Therefore, the Sixth Princess's reputation was not very good, and almost none of the elders liked her.

"Jingxian greets the Grand Empress Dowager, Grand Empress Dowager Jin'an!"

"Good boy, get up quickly."

The Empress Dowager greeted her kindly.

Looking at the meals being brought in plate by plate by plate by the servants, and the delicious dishes, I suddenly felt like eating.

When the last dish was served, Xiao Jingyi came over.

Qin Zhongyue didn't expect that he was really in the mansion, or he had just returned.

Xiao Jingyi thought Qin Zhongyue was a good person and should be getting along well with the Empress Dowager.

At this time, he naturally saw the Sixth Princess following Qin Zhongyue. He frowned and looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

The Sixth Princess was a little scared when she saw Xiao Jingyi. Now that he was a little unhappy with her, she further reduced her presence.

"I'm here to see the princess and the queen mother."

Qin Zhongyue did not expose her, "She came at the right time. She can play mahjong with the Empress Dowager in the afternoon.

The food is all here, please sit down and eat, or it will get cold and not taste good. "

Qin Zhongyue's words were like an imperial decree. At her command, everyone took their positions and behaved very obediently. The Empress Dowager was delighted to see this.

She felt that the time would not be long before she could hold her great-grandson in her arms. This was the first time she had seen Xiao Jingyi so obedient.

"What kind of dish is this? It smells delicious."

The Empress Dowager was soon attracted by the delicious food on the table.

Nanny Chen didn't dare to serve food to the Empress Dowager privately.

Before every meal in the palace, poison must be tested. Now she wanted to do the same, but thinking that this was in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, doing so would offend Prince Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao.

Qin Zhongyue was not new to the world, so he motioned Bailing to come forward to test the poison.

"No need for these empty formalities."

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Bailing's action, she wanted to stop it.

If she was still not at ease here, she wouldn't have come.

"The Empress Dowager should not skimp on what she should do."

Bai Ling naturally listens to his master.

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to let it go when she saw this.

The silver needles for testing poison were prepared early in the morning. Bailing went forward and tested the poison on every dish according to the rules, and naturally all of them were non-toxic.

Xiao Jingyi suddenly said, "Since the Empress Dowager said that she feels safe here, there is no need for these empty formalities in the future."

The Empress Dowager was very happy when she heard Xiao Jingyi repeat her words.

"exactly."

The Empress Dowager saw that Xiao Jingyi and Qin Zhongyue had no servants to serve them, and she also knew Xiao Jingyi's habits.

She said to Nanny Chen, "You can also go downstairs to eat. You don't need to serve here."

Nanny Chen would not refute the Empress Dowager, and she also knew that she should not be there to disturb the harmonious relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren, so she left according to the rules.

"Eat them all."

The Empress Dowager picked up the dish in front of her with chopsticks first. When she put it in her mouth, she tasted the sweet and sour aroma of meat, and a little bit of crispness. The layered taste was very rich.

The Empress Dowager chewed it slowly and nodded her opinion, "Mm, it's delicious."

“This is called sweet and sour pork. Each dish has a unique flavor. I don’t know what flavor you like, so I made some of each.

Please try which one suits your taste better."

After listening to Qin Zhongyue's words, the Empress Dowager tried every dish. She originally thought that there would be some that she didn't like, but unexpectedly, all of them were quite good. She even felt a little full without realizing it.

"The Empress Dowager can walk around in the yard to help digest the food. My sister-in-law and mother will be here soon. Let them and Xiaoliu play mahjong with you."

The dishes had just been cleared away and Su Luoqing and Jiang came as they were talking.

The Empress Dowager was a little full from the meal, and she knew that it was not a good time to lie down and sleep, as it would be bad for her health, so she sat down and played mahjong with them.

Jiang and Su Luoqing, who were a little nervous at first, relaxed when they saw Qin Zhongyue who was very calm. She was just an old lady who was a little old and in poor health. There was nothing to be afraid of. Besides, she was very kind and amiable.

After a while, the mahjong table became lively.

It turned out that the Sixth Princess had won twice and her face was flushed.

"I just haven't played for a long time. I'm not familiar with it. After playing a few rounds and becoming familiar with it, I won't make such mistakes."

The Sixth Princess generously gave the three people money. She just didn't believe that she really couldn't do it.

The Empress Dowager was not sleepy yet because she was enjoying the fight.

This is indeed much more interesting than being in the palace. While fighting, I can also chat with Jiang and the others.

"Then why don't you come back with your two sons?"

"Hey, they all have their own things to do, so it's time for them to go out and try their luck. If they don't achieve anything, they'll probably come back, haha."

As Jiang was speaking, the housekeeper suddenly brought Qin Sixi over.

Qin Sixi looked at Jiang and Qin Zhongyue with surprise, and did not notice the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess. He had never seen them and did not know them. He just thought they were the old lady and daughter of some wealthy family who came to play, and he did not dare to look them directly at them.

But when he thought of his second brother coming back, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

"Mom, sister, my second brother is coming back soon!"
