Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Jiangnan's silver was sent back.

However, there is a lot of difference from the expected number, tens of thousands of taels less.

Liu Yi said a lot in the letter. To sum it up in one sentence, there is only so much money. It is not that he is incompetent, but that there are too many difficulties. He has tried his best.

King Ning looked at the ledger with a gloomy expression on his face.

Pei's persuasion: The fourth has done his best, so don't be too harsh on him.

King Ning snorted, This king didn't say a word, so you said that this king scolds him?

Pei Shi was embarrassed, I also looked like you were going to be angry, so I persuaded me.

Don't persuade me again, this king will make his own decision on this matter.

King Ning took the ledger and was about to leave.

Mr. Pei hurriedly called someone, My lord, how much money can I keep in the inner courtyard? The inner courtyard has a lot of expenses, and it's already beyond its means.

King Ning said: This money, this king has other uses. You need to find a way to overcome the expenses of the inner courtyard.

How can I overcome the lack of money? Mrs. Pei complained. It's tens of thousands of taels. The lord should keep some for the inner courtyard. If you don't give a tael of silver, there are nearly 1,000 people in the palace. Do you want to drink the northwest wind?

Ning Wang was irritated, Okay, I will let the accountant allocate 10,000 taels to the inner courtyard.

Pei thinks 10,000 taels is too little, and wants more.

However, King Ning didn't give her a chance to speak and left.

Pei's heart was annoyed, and he instructed his servant Wen Zhong, Send a letter to the fourth child and ask him what happened and why he brought back so much money.

She wondered if Liu Yi was greedy for money.

According to the estimates of previous years, even if there is no 100,000 taels this year, there should be 80,000-90,000 taels. As a result, only less than 40,000 taels of silver was returned. It was more than half the expected number.

Wen Zhong reminded Pei, Niangniang, the lord may send someone to Jiangnan to investigate. Do you want to remind Fourth Young Master?

Pei's face was stern, You also suspect that the fourth child has embezzled money?

Wen Zhong quickly lowered his head, Old slave dare not.

Shi Pei frowned, The fourth child has such great courage, how dare he greedy for half of the money?

She thought about it carefully,

He immediately ordered: Send someone to see Xiao Qin'er, and the fourth child also wrote her a letter. You ask someone to check in private to see if Xiao Qin'er has received a silver note.

Wen Zhong took the order and asked again, If the Fourth Young Master really sent a silver note to the Fourth Lady, how should this matter be handled?

Pei shi said: Don't make a statement, and don't let the prince know. You can do the rest.

Old slave understands.

Wen Zhong took the order and left.

King Ning returned to the Tourmaline Pavilion, called Liu Zhao, and threw the ledger to him, Look at what's wrong with this ledger.

Liu Zhao opened the account book and checked it carefully, and said, There are a few wrong numbers, and the problem may lie in this.

King Ning leaned on Luohan's couch, In your opinion, are the people below fooling the fourth child, or is the fourth child fooling the king?

Liu Zhao smiled and closed the ledger. Then he said blankly, Don't you already have the answer in your heart?

King Ning snorted, In the past, you were in charge of Jiangnan, and every year, you can't say that you can send 100,000 taels of silver from Jiangnan back to Beijing.

For the first time this year, the fourth child took on a heavy responsibility, and as a result, only less than 40,000 taels were delivered. This gap, this king does not believe that the fourth child has no brains at all, and dares to make such a big mistake.

Either the people below fool the fourth, or the fourth and the people below fool the king together.

Liu Zhao said with a cold expression: Two months ago, my son received a letter from Jiangnan, saying that this year's harvest was not very good, and the production was reduced by about 20%.

Ning Wang sneered, It's hard for you, and you say good things for the fourth child.

My son is just telling the truth. Liu Zhao was expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Ning Wang said with a stern face, Even if the production is reduced by 20%, plus the loss, it will still be at least 70,000-80,000 taels. If it is less than 40,000 taels, the fourth child dares to send it back. Will he send this king as a beggar?

Liu Zhao said: This is the first time the fourth brother went to Jiangnan, and he is not familiar with the place, so it is possible to be fooled by the people below.

King Ning looked dissatisfied, Don't play brother and brother Gong in front of this king. You and the fourth brother have never dealt with each other. What is your intention to speak for him.

Liu Zhao smiled softly, The son is devoted to kindness, but the father is not satisfied?

King Ning narrowed his eyes, stared at Liu Zhao, and smiled again in a blink of an eye.

He mentioned another thing, This month the old man summoned the King of Chu three times, and he is really fond of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu was the eldest grandson of the emperor and the eldest son of Prince Renxuan. Liu Zhao's cousin.

Liu Zhao smiled, Are those people in a hurry?

King Ning nodded, Can you not be in a hurry? For so many years, the favor that the King of Chu has received is the first one. There are already people in the court discussing whether the old man wants to make the King of Chu his grandson.

Liu Zhao said loudly: Crossing the prince and setting up the grandson is simply a way to bring disaster. I would like to know how to deal with so many uncles when the grandson ascends the throne. Unless the grandfather is alive, he will Confine all of you, King Father, to stifle any possibility of rebellion.

Ning Wang bared his teeth, The old man has been shrewd all his life, so he won't be confused when he gets old. Could it be that the old man really wants to attack us sons?

Liu Zhao thought about it for a while and suggested a solution, Why don't you try the emperor's grandfather's mind.

King Ning stared at Liu Zhao, Do you mean to ask someone to set up the emperor's grandson?

Liu Zhao nodded.

King Ning laughed, It's time to test the old man's mind. It's okay to hang like this.

At this time, someone was outside asking to see you.

Chang En quietly went out to deal with it.

After a while, Chang En hurried back to the side hall, My lord, there is news from the palace that Li Zhaoyi is two months pregnant.

What? Are you sure that Li Zhaoyi is pregnant?

Chang En nodded, This is absolutely true.

King Ning exchanged glances with Liu Zhao, then waved and told Chang En to step back.

King Ning frowned and walked around in the side hall with a irritable expression on his face.

Hmph, the old man is really fierce. At this age, Li Zhaoyi can even get pregnant. If I hadn't known that there was no man around Li Zhaoyi, this king would have wondered if she was pregnant with someone's wild seed.

Liu Zhao frowned and said, Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, and the emperor's grandfather is fierce, so naturally he refuses to recognize his old age.

If people do not recognize old age, they will not be in a hurry to establish a prince.

There is no way to talk about what the emperor's grandson said.

Now it seems that Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, and the most disappointing is the King of Chu and the concubine Sun.

The eldest grandson of the emperor was established as the queen of Chu, and the crown princess Sun also changed her body and became a concubine.

Liu Zhao said again: Father, we should seize the time to choose a Shiren Shangben who is close to the King of Chu and ask for a grandson.

Are you trying to frame the King of Chu?

Liu Zhao nodded.

King Ning laughed, Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, and the King of Chu has sent someone to ask for a grandson, the old man will definitely be angry.

This king still knows a little about the old man's temper. He refused to accept the old many years ago, and Li Zhaoyi's pregnancy made him even more unwilling to accept the old.

At this time, whoever dares to submit a book to ask for a prince or grandson is courting death. If the King of Chu was not favored and gradually gained momentum, this king would definitely take this opportunity to clean up the King of Zhao.

King Zhao escaped, and he should thank the King of Chu for stealing his limelight.

Thinking of being able to count on the King of Chu, King Ning's mood improved.

He said: This king is going to send someone to Jiangnan to investigate, do you have a choice?

Liu Zhao said: Anyone around the father and the king can take on important responsibilities.

King Ning laughed, After going out to practice for a few months, I have become able to speak, yes, yes. The fourth daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you, as the eldest, should hurry up. If the fourth daughter-in-law wants to give birth to the eldest grandson , this king will see what you do.

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, Even if the fourth brother leads the gentleman to the eldest grandson, has the son ever been afraid?

King Ning looked at Liu Zhao with a half-smile, You'd better never be afraid.

Liu Zhao smiled, If the father has no other orders, the son will retire.

Ning Wang waved his hand, Go and do your work. Take advantage of the free time recently, and spend more time with your daughter-in-law. It's best to get pregnant as soon as possible.

I don't need to worry about this matter.

Liu Zhao got up and left.

King Ning arranged for people to go to Jiangnan.

...

It has been more than a month since Prince Renxuan's family moved into the newly decorated Chu Palace.

The news of Li Zhaoyi's pregnancy flew into thousands of households in the capital as if she had grown wings.

Some people are busy praising virtues and flattering the emperor.

Some people were elated, with Li Zhaoyi's mother's family being the most important.

Some people were worried, and they were headed by the King of Chu family.

The concubine Sun sat on the ground, the King of Chu sat below her, and Fang Shaojian sat opposite her.

The King of Chu looked gloomy, Mother concubine, Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, what should my son do?

Grand Concubine Sun Zhichao looked at Fang Shaojian, Fang Shaojian, tell me what you think.

Fang Shaojian bowed slightly, My lord, it is better to be quiet at this time. Continue to be a filial son and a filial grandson, and be happy in front of Your Majesty.

As for the child in Li Zhaoyi's womb, it may not be the prince. Even if the prince grows up to be able to run and be happy, there will be at least several years.

The lord can take advantage of these years to plan carefully. In addition, the old slaves in the palace will also make arrangements in advance.

It is difficult to train a good prince, but it is easy to teach a bad prince.

The King of Chu heard the words and nodded secretly.

The concubine Sun said: The people around Li Zhaoyi are all arranged by His Majesty. In the future, when the Prince is born, His Majesty will definitely personally intervene and arrange trustworthy services. You are sure that the people you arrange can get close to the Prince and bring the Prince with him. Bad?

Fang Shaojian smiled mysteriously, Other things, the old slave may not be sure, but arranging someone to serve Li Zhaoyi, the old slave is completely sure.

Oh?

Concubine Sun stared suspiciously at Fang Shaojian. How many hands is this old slave hiding?

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

Fang Shaojian has been serving Queen Ruizhen Cui for twenty or thirty years. Twenty or thirty years is enough for him to take root in the palace and form a dense net.

Looking at the irrelevant person, maybe he is a pawn in Fang Shaojian's network.

Grand Concubine Sun said: Since you are sure, this palace will hand over all the matter to you. This time, don't let this palace down.

Don't worry, madam, this old slave does not dare to live up to her high hopes.

...

Jiang Yan stood uneasily in the center of the hall, very helpless.

She didn't know why the imperial concubine wanted to see her.

She looked left and right, and there were several people who were called along with her. Without exception, they all look great.

There was movement in the hall.

The imperial concubine and the queen appeared together with the king of Zhao.

King Zhao sat at the bottom, his eyes swept across everyone's faces inquiringly.

Mother concubine, do you really want to dedicate all these beauties to the father? The father is old, it is better to reward all these beauties to the son.

Concubine Xue Gui glared at King Zhao, Look at how promising you are. Is your palace short of women?

Zhao Wang smiled, My son is joking.

Concubine Xue snorted, Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, you still have the heart to joke.

The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.

However, this sentence is not fulfilled here by the Son of Heaven.

Prince Renxuan was the eldest son, but the emperor did not love Prince Renxuan, and even regarded Prince Renxuan as an enemy.

If it weren't for the Prince Renxuan who blocked the knife for the emperor and died, the family in the East Palace would have been imprisoned long ago, how could they have been granted the title of Prince of Chu.

Now that Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, if she gives birth to a prince, no accident, it must be the son of the emperor's favorite son, and no one can steal the limelight.

All princes, the youngest are all grown up.

All adult princes, in the eyes of the emperor, are all terrifying.

Because the adult prince is no longer well-behaved, they only want to compete with the emperor for power.

No one likes those who snatch their power, and the emperor can't wait to slaughter all the adult princes, which is an eyesore.

However, the little prince, who is soft and soft, is not the same.

The little prince is so innocent and lovely, so pure and innocent. With wide innocent eyes, it hit the emperor's hard heart.

Let me ask, can the emperor resist the charm of the little prince?

cannot!

Thinking that Li Zhaoyi is very likely to give birth to the most beloved little prince, many people inside and outside the palace couldn't sit still.

If a child can live for another ten or twenty years, when the little prince grows up, he will be the next emperor.

At that time, before the emperor's death, he will definitely clear all the obstacles for the little prince to become emperor, and ban all the adult princes who are unsightly to die.

Certainly!

Do not doubt the ruthlessness of the emperor.

Maybe, in order to reduce the obstacles after the little prince ascends the throne, even the concubines of the harem will be dealt with.

Li Zhaoyi and her son took the power alone. I wonder, who can be reconciled.

Xue Guifei has been in the harem for many years, how can she sit still and wait for her death.

The first thing she thought of was to present a beauty to the emperor.

Li Zhaoyi was pregnant and could not stay in bed. At this time, it's time to get in.

Jiang Yan was so beautiful, so her name caught the eyes of Concubine Xue.

Xue Guifei coughed lightly and glanced at everyone, This palace intends to promote you and let you serve your majesty, are you willing?

The five looked at each other in dismay, and the good thing that the pie fell from the sky actually fell on their heads.

Yes, yes!

Several others chanted willingness.

Only Jiang Yan hesitated.

Among the five, she is the only one who reads.

Before she went to Beijing, Gu Jiu gave her many books. Those books, she has been with her all these years, and she never thought of selling them in the most difficult time.

She has read every book no less than ten times.

There is no golden house in the book, but there is a reason for being a man.

How old is the emperor this year?

Sixty-three, or sixty-five?

How many more years to live?

If Tian Zi died after two years, and they had no children, the rest of their lives would be worse than being a palace maid.

When Concubine Xue asked them to serve the emperor, she must have wanted them to compete with Li Zhaoyi for favor.

Li Zhaoyi is now rushing to the crown harem. At this time, he is competing with Li Zhaoyi for favor, and half of them may die in Li Zhaoyi's hands.

Should she agree, or should she refuse?

Can she just refuse?

She is the maid of Ganlu Palace, and she has no right to refuse Concubine Xue's arrangement.

She could only follow the others, kneeling down and taking orders.

Concubine Xue nodded in satisfaction, In the next month, this palace will arrange for someone to take good care of you. I hope you will be better and don't let this palace down.

The slaves obey!

Jiang Yan secretly glanced at her hands, which were indeed rough. The skin on the face, blown by the sun, is not as delicate as before.

If you want to serve Your Majesty, you must first maintain it, at least remove the dead skin on your hands, and keep the skin on your face tender and tender.

After that, they were taken away from their original residence and lived together in the side hall, which was maintained by special personnel.

There is also Mammy who explains to them about men and women, how to please and how to serve.

The content is novel and astonishing.

It turns out that there are so many things between men and women.

Jiang Yan has been looking for opportunities.

Finally got in touch with Zhou Miao.

The two meet at the Imperial Garden.

As soon as Jiang Yan saw him, she hurriedly said: The imperial concubine asked me to serve Your Majesty, I was very scared and didn't want to go, please help me.

Zhou Miao asked, You don't want to go to serve such a good thing as Your Majesty? Didn't you enter the palace just to climb high branches? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why are you backing away?

Jiang Yan looked distressed, I'm not shrinking, but I don't want to die. And His Majesty is so old, what if... what can I do at that time? Do I have to spend my whole life in the nunnery and the ancient Buddha?

Zhou Miao gritted his teeth and said, I do have a way. Not only can I serve Your Majesty, and I can fly to the branches to become a phoenix. In the future, in case of an emergency, I can save my life. I'm afraid you won't dare.
