After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"In addition to the Imperial College students, there are also many outstanding students from poor families."

The Empress Dowager said, "Living in the capital is not easy. The Imperial College exempted them from board and lodging, but they still need to buy their own pens, inkstones, and paper. It may seem like a small amount of money, but it is a considerable burden accumulated over the years."

"Mother, are you saying that we should give it to them as a reward?" Qin Yaoguang immediately understood.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "The right things should be given to the right people."

"it is good."

Qin Yaoguang agreed immediately and said, "I will prepare one thousand sets of Leyang pens and one thousand sets of Leyang paper. Do you think they are enough?"

"It's enough as a reward, but if you want to reduce their expenses, you can't just rely on this one exception." The Queen Mother thought further ahead.

She has already thought of a solution. If Qin Yaoguang can't think of it, she will give him some suggestions.

Qin Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

"The imperial estate under my name has a bookstore, and there are shops in the East and West Markets. After leaving the palace, I will look for a suitable one that specializes in selling Leyang paper and pens to prevent someone from using my name to sell at a high price."

The Queen Mother looked at her, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My son has grown up."

Her most beloved daughter finally no longer had only the rear house in her eyes, and her heart no longer only had the husband who was thousands of miles away.

This is the growth she has always wanted to see.

Fortunately, she finally waited for it.

The Queen Mother always felt guilty towards her eldest daughter.

Qin Yaoguang was born during the most glorious time of the Dajing Dynasty. She was the most honored and favored person in the world and grew up in the praise of everyone. Before she got married, she had never known what setbacks were.

At that time, the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor were both busy with court affairs, and apart from providing her with fine clothes and delicious food, they had no time to devote to her education.

By the time the Empress Dowager came to her senses, Qin Yaoguang had already developed a temper that "regarded her as the boss in everything". He would fly into a rage at the slightest disobedience and was extremely spoiled.

Because of her marriage, the two of them had lost so much hair that they worried about it.

According to convention, the consort of Princess Shang could not enter the government or command the military, and could only choose the second son of a noble family, or a general who did not intend to stay in the army.

However, they had looked at all the men who were willing to marry the princess, and leaving aside other things, they all had no ambitions.

How could such a person be worthy of the eldest princess who was raised in their arms?

They can't snatch the legitimate son carefully cultivated by the aristocratic family. That would not be a marriage, but an enemy.

Qin Yaoguang's marriage was repeatedly delayed.

It was not until the news came that the entire Yan family had died bravely for their country that the late emperor vomited blood. The first thing he did after waking up was to grant Yan Changqing a marriage and retain his title.

First, to appease Yan Changqing and the army, the northern border urgently needs to stabilize the overall situation. The marriage with the most favored princess is granted to show the emperor's great grace and no intention of pursuing the crime of the Yan family's defeat.

Secondly, Yan Changqing was their most preferred candidate for a son-in-law, and making an exception to retain the title would not hinder his future.

Who would have known that Le Yang, who seemed to be a perfect match at the beginning, would wither away day by day in the Princess's Mansion?

Later, she even refused to enter the palace, and would only appear absent-mindedly unless someone specially invited her.

Listening to the never-ending rumors and watching her daughter lock herself up in the Princess's Mansion, isolated from the world, the Empress Dowager was heartbroken but could do nothing about it.

Fortunately, she finally figured it out!

Qin Yaoguang had no idea about the Empress Dowager's tortuous mental journey, and was thinking about opening a stationery store.

Since we are going to open a store, wouldn’t it be too monotonous to just sell paper and pens?

The title of the eldest princess is really useful, but it would be a waste for her to just stay in the back house.

As for those children, after Xiao has successfully taught them to read and write, it is time to bring them out to see the world. Each of them has his or her own path.

Thinking of the five children, Qin Yaoguang suddenly remembered something and said to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, I want to ask you for a prescription."

"You don't have any prescription, why do you have to ask me for it?"

"Not really."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "I want to ask for a recipe for maintaining hair. You know, there is a little girl in our house, she is only ten years old, and her hair is like straw."

There are many recipes for ointments and balms for nourishing the skin in the princess's mansion, but there is no recipe for nourishing hair of this kind.

Qin Yaoguang's black hair was kept as soft, shiny and smooth as silk. The hair care recipe she used was not suitable for the fourth brother.

"Oh?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Yaoguang in great surprise and said, "You came to ask for my prescription for that child?"

It seems that he has really figured it out.

"I don't know how many times I have advised you in the past. If you don't like those concubines' children, just leave them aside. What they grow up to be has nothing to do with you."

The Empress Dowager said earnestly, "You are the legitimate wife, and their biological mother has not yet entered the palace. The prince consort has shown respect to you by getting rid of the mother and keeping the son. You are losing face by making a fuss."

She is indeed a mother who loves her daughter so much that she would speak such intimate words to her daughter in such a frank and sincere way.

If it were in modern times, Yan Changqing would be a scumbag who cheated before and during marriage. However, this was the Great Jing Dynasty, and as long as a man did not favor his concubine over his wife, it was not wrong.

Qin Yaoguang was touched and said softly, "Mother, I now know I was wrong."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said, "I am also responsible."

"Madam Zhou, go get the orchid recipe. I remember there is also some sandalwood paste. Take it all back to Leyang."

"Yes." Nanny Zhou responded quickly and left happily.

She watched Qin Yaoguang grow up, and seeing that the prince consort was about to return to Beijing, she was looking forward to the two of them living a good life. If she treated the concubine's children better, there would be fewer conflicts when the prince consort came back.

As they were talking, a palace maid came in and announced, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Princess Chunning has arrived."

"What a coincidence today. Did you two sisters make an appointment?" The Empress Dowager smiled and quickly let someone in.

Princess Chunning was her third child and Qin Yaoguang's third sister.

At their wedding two years ago, the husband of the emperor was Lu Yi, the second son of the Lu family, a century-old family. He was handsome and talented.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "I think my sister is also thinking about mother."

Soon, Princess Chunning arrived at the palace. She greeted everyone tenderly and sat on the embroidered cushion brought by the palace maid. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her.

In the original owner's memory, because of the seven or eight years age difference between her and her biological sister, and Chun Ning's timid personality, she was quite disgusted with her, and the two of them were not close.

Princess Chunning was born delicate, and the two sisters had similar features, but Qin Yaoguang was glamorous and unrestrained, while Chunning had a kind of fragile beauty.

The Empress Dowager had tea served and asked, "Why are you here today? Are you unhappy in your residence?"

Princess Chunning was visibly startled, and quickly put down the teacup in her hand, saying, "Mother, you are mistaken. I came here today to bring fresh Fengshui pears on behalf of your husband's aunt, as a filial tribute to you."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face darkened.
