Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!
Chapter 624: The Silk Road Opens
As he said this, he looked up at the Queen and the Queen Mother cautiously. He didn't know if the Queen and the Queen Mother would be unhappy when they heard the name Zhao Qiuqiu. But seeing that the Queen and the Queen Mother were fine and didn't seem unhappy, the Second Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
The Second Prince then bowed and greeted them both. After the greetings, he received money from the Queen and the Queen Mother and returned to the Second Prince's Mansion.
Inside the Second Prince's Mansion, Zhao Qiuqiu was resting at home when she saw that a batch of silver had suddenly appeared in the Mansion, with boxes of silver being moved in.
The second prince shouted, "Please pay attention to these, these are gifts from the Queen Mother and the Queen."
"If you guys ruin the silver given by the Empress Dowager and the Queen, I will definitely punish you severely later."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiuqiu couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth. How could the silver given by the Empress Dowager and the Queen be bad? Who has ever seen bad silver?
This must be what the Second Prince said on purpose. The Second Prince rarely received rewards from the palace, so he said that on purpose to show his favor and his status.
She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, and felt very annoyed. This second prince was really not very smart. He was a little clever, and the whole world could see it.
Zhao Qiuqiu sighed, but smiled and bowed to the Second Prince: "Your Highness, you are back."
Seeing his lovely wife and concubine in his arms, the second prince was extremely happy. He immediately took Zhao Qiuqiu into his arms and said with a smile, "Qiqiu, you look even more beautiful now."
Zhao Qiuqiu smiled awkwardly. She and the second prince had consummated their marriage last night, and the second prince was very satisfied. He held Zhao Qiuqiu's hand and said to her beside the bed: "You look a little haggard. Do you want me to get you something... bird's nest and ginseng for nourishment? The palace gave you a lot as a reward."
"That's not necessary, Your Highness the Second Prince."
Zhao Qiuqiu smiled and said, "Bird's nest and ginseng are such luxurious things that we can't take them every day. We should take them at different times so that they can be effective."
"For example, a few days before the confinement period, if you take black chicken soup made of bird's nest, ginseng, red dates and donkey-hide gelatin, you won't have stomachache during the confinement period."
"I see. I didn't expect you, my beloved, to be so smart and knowledgeable about these things."
"Then you can keep these things and ask the maids in your yard to make some for you. You can eat them whenever you like. Anyway, I am here, there is plenty."
As he said this he patted his chest.
The second prince's words sounded quite generous.
Zhao Qiuqiu raised her eyebrows, then said to the Second Prince with a smile: "But Second Prince, where can we get so much silver in our house?"
"Your salary is used to support all these beauties in our yard. How can you have enough spare money to buy bird's nests?"
After hearing this, the second prince immediately smiled and said, "This is naturally a reward from my mother and grandmother."
"Did the Queen Mother and the Imperial Grandmother reward you so much?"
Zhao Qiuqiu raised her eyebrows, and became curious: "Why did the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager suddenly reward you with so much silver?"
"And even if I give you money, you can't spend it all at once... Money will eventually run out, so we should be more frugal."
The second prince smiled slightly and said to Zhao Qiuqiu, "Of course, it's because I was ill some time ago, so the Queen and the Queen Mother gave me this money. Besides, we will be going to our fiefdoms soon, so they will definitely be reluctant to let us go."
"Although my father doesn't like me very much and I'm not as useful as the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince, we are the only adult princes in the royal family."
"How could they not protect me?"
"!!!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qiuqiu's face changed, and then he said to the Second Prince: "But Your Highness, are we going to be vassal states so soon?"
"The Empress Dowager and the Queen gave you a reward just to urge you to go and become a vassal, right?"
The second prince nodded with a smile and said, "You don't know, Qiqi."
"Yongzhou is a very good place now. Loulan and we have opened the Silk Road. If we go to Yongzhou in the future, we will have endless silver to spend."
"The Silk Road brings in huge profits. If our Yongzhou fiefdom could come into my hands...tsk, tsk, tsk! It would be wonderful."
"When Lao Jiu was in Yongzhou, that place was hated by everyone, but now it is different. Loulan has been returned to our Zhou and Song dynasties, and Yongzhou and Loulan are no longer at war. So it will no longer be like before."
"Yongzhou used to be a desolate place with no grass growing, but now it is a very rich place."
"You see, it has already come to the fore. The flow of people here is much stronger than before. In 10 or 8 years, it may be more luxurious than Kyoto and Gangnam."
Zhao Qiuqiu was furious. She didn't care about prosperity or not. After all, she was not the real Zhao Qiuqiu. She was Lin. The reason she came to Kyoto and married the second prince was to avenge the fourth prince, wasn't it? !
But now, if he leaves Kyoto, how can he take revenge on Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao!
She said to the Second Prince, "But Your Highness, even if Yongzhou is a good place, we can't leave Kyoto so soon."
The second prince looked at Zhao Qiuqiu strangely and said, "You seem to dislike leaving Kyoto."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiuqiu's face turned a little ugly. She couldn't let the Second Prince find out anything. She quickly said to the Second Prince: "This... Second Prince, it's not as simple as you think."
"You see, Yongzhou and Loulan were connected to the Silk Road, so Yongzhou was the bridge for Loulan to establish friendship with Zhou and Song. However, Yongzhou was just opened to the Silk Road, so I'm afraid that many inconveniences will need to be dealt with by Your Highness, the Second Prince."
"If some business starts to take off, we don't know whether we will lose money or not."
"Trade between countries must cost a lot of money, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels."
"If His Majesty and the Queen knew about the loss of money, they would definitely scold you first."
