Fall In Love With A Substitute

Chapter 39 The Princess' Little Wife

When it came to the court meeting, Yang Zhiming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, under the instruction of the prince, went up to count the accounts of the treasury's IOUs and recover the debts owed by the treasury.

The officials present all changed face and looked at each other in blank dismay.

But before the fact that the national treasury was in short supply, no one dared to stand up and object when thinking about the IOUs he had written.

"Since that's the case, you, Li Zi, will be in charge of it, and Zhao Peng will assist you." Song Pianli issued an order, "Within half a ten-day period, all officials, civil and military, regardless of rank or rank, must pay off the treasury's debts."

The Qingyue male voice modified by the system threw it on the ground with force:

"Those who violate it will be chased by the Shuntian Mansion and will not be tolerated."

There was a commotion below.

Zhao Peng, who was named, hissed fiercely——

I didn't feel the good credit for the disaster relief, but I got such a hard job instead?

Can debt collection be easy?Turn around and offend everyone, and you don't even know how you died!

"It's absolutely impossible, Prince!" Li Zi took a step forward and said in a trembling voice, "Since ancient times, you can't punish a doctor, how can you arrest the imperial court official for checking the accounts."

Li Zi's heart was also heavy, the lineage of the King of Chu had withdrawn money from the treasury all these years, and if they really wanted to pay it back, they would have to pay back all the property they had bought in these years.

"The prince can't do it alone!"

"If you want to pursue it, you don't have to be so urgent. You should take it slowly."

It's about their own affairs, and the officials below are all playing tricks.

Either it means that Song Pianlu wants to give everyone face, and no matter what, he can't take people into the yamen.Either operate slowly and give everyone more time.

Song Pina sat in a high position, looking down at them.

Li Zi saw that many people responded positively after raising his arms. It seemed that this measure would not be pushed forward, so he felt a lot more relaxed.

He proudly said: "I hope the prince thinks twice."

Those who don’t want to pay back the money and those who still haven’t, all followed him and said in unison:

"Prince Three—"

"The IOUs are all here. The disaster in Surabaya, the country is endless, which one doesn't need the support of silver?" A rough voice interrupted them, not politely.

Song Pina looked sideways, it was Feng Chenyi, a cousin of the Feng family, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Feng Chenyi bowed his hands to Song Pianyi to show his respect, and then raised his official authority and said:

"You are all ministers, and you must do your best to share the country's worries, and do your best to die. This is the way to be a minister."

He looked at Li Zi, "The Prime Minister on the right is the assistant minister ordered by the Holy Majesty, he should obey the order, why do you shirk it in every possible way?"

Li Zi hurriedly lowered his head, with a tense face: "I don't dare, it's just..."

He hated in his heart that the Feng family was really his own enemy, and he would take a bite whenever he had the opportunity.

He didn't believe it anymore, the Feng family was not afraid of anything if they had a lot of wealth, those veterans who followed the Feng family would inevitably have bad debts, let's see how they solve it!

"The right minister just said some problems, but there is no need to be harsh."

The prince spoke for himself?Li Zi was surprised and almost raised his head to look up.

"Yes." Feng Chenyi smacked his lips and cupped his hands.

Although Song Pianjue refuted Feng Chenyi's sentence, his words were not harsh, but somewhat lenient.It wasn't until he put his eyes on Li Zi that he turned to rigorous scrutiny, and his voice was like a deep bell, peaceful and solemn:

"You are an important minister of the Right Prime Minister, in terms of ability, you are one of the few in this class, so I entrust this matter to you to supervise. I hope you don't let me down."

Li Zi was startled, and lowered his head even lower. He knew that this matter could not be postponed, so he had no choice but to respond:

"The minister will live up to the entrustment."

After the prince recovered from his illness, he was no longer gentle or even sloppy in the past, and his wrists became more ruthless.

It's only been a few days, people are coming and going in the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day, and the affairs of each department are orderly.

After waking up today, the atmosphere in the court will definitely be abolished.

Fortunately, there is still a Feng family around the prince to guard against. If you want to check and balance, let the Feng family and the king of Chu restrain each other, then you can't do your best to clean up the Chu king's lineage, otherwise...

Li Zi's worries remained undiminished, and he only hoped that a secret letter would come from the King of Chu as soon as possible to discuss actions.

After Feng Chenyi left the court, he went to a hot spring courtyard in the eastern suburbs outside Beijing.

It is the season when the mountain flowers are blooming, the spring breeze is blowing, the willows are soft, the green bricks and black tiles in the other courtyard, and the begonias are shyly blooming.

Under a tree of pink and daisy, Feng Yuexian stood in white clothes, his face was as warm as the sun, like the spring sun in May, pure and clear in the brightness.

When the breeze hit, the white clothes flew like bird feathers, and before they flew high, they were pressed down by the jade pendant around their waists. Instead, a few wisps of light pink petals were blown off by the Chuisi Begonia.

Feng Chenyi was immersed in the scenery of falling flowers staining the beauty's lapel, when he saw the graceful beauty showing a dagger with her backhand.

The silver light suddenly appeared, and the petals of the crabapple instantly broke into two halves, killing two people.

"..."

Very well, she is still that indifferent and indifferent cousin.

Feng Chenyi walked over, glanced at the dagger that his cousin loved to play with, and said:

"Can you leave the palace?"

He thought that after his cousin got married, he could only pass on news to her, but he didn't expect her to come out.

"En." Feng Yuexian pursed his lips, raised his chin slightly, and said in a naturally cold voice, "The prince is lenient."

"The prince is indeed a good-natured person, but he is a bit soft. No wonder you asked me to speak up for him, otherwise he would be bullied by Li Zi's leaders today."

Speaking of this, Feng Chenyi tentatively said: "But in our faction, there are also people who have issued IOUs."

"Today I spoke for the crown prince, and they were very dissatisfied. I can only say that it was your order, so they gave up for now and let me come here, waiting for you to express your opinion."

"I know all about it."

Feng Yuexian stretched out her fingers casually, and brushed off the scars on the dagger, her skin was cold and white, and the blade was shiny, and she couldn't tell which was whiter for a moment.

"I left the palace today just for this purpose, and I have already invited them here."

"With your words, I still have nothing to worry about."

Feng Yuexian just said a word, Feng Chenyi's heart instantly settled down, and he laughed loudly.

In the distance, there was a rush of horseshoes, and it was several veterans who came.

These people went to war with Feng Yuexian and his father's generation, all of them were uncle's generation, and they grew up watching them.

The two went to meet each other outside the gate of the other courtyard together. Although everyone's faces were slightly condensed, they gave the junior face and maintained a harmonious appearance. They went all the way to the flower hall to rest their feet with tea.

There was only a violent man named Zhong Lie, who drank a bowl of tea, wiped his mouth, and said frankly:

"Niece, I know you speak nicely, and you can convince us to be convincing with a few words."

"But today's matter is different. You also know that I have seven or eight children, and everyone will call you sister when they see you. If you don't have enough salary, you can only borrow money, unless you sell the house you live in."

"Say it straight, what do we old guys do with this move?"

After Zhong Lie finished speaking, the relaxed atmosphere on the field froze again.

Under the cover of drinking tea with a little twisted heart, they all kept their gazes on Feng Yuexian with the same impatient straightness as Zhong Lie.

Under the eyes of all parties, Feng Yuexian's graceful figure remained undisturbed, her eyes cut water and landed on Zhong Lie.

"I know Uncle Zhong's difficulties."

"Then why did you let Xiaozi Feng act like this today?" The other person couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected.

Feng Yuexian glanced over, her smile was still there, she didn't answer and said:

"All uncles followed my father from birth to death. The important land in the Northwest was invaded by foreign invaders. You fought in and out. You are the heroes of the world and the elders I respect most in my heart."

Feng Yuexian had a respectful expression, and when he said this, he got up and made a squatting salute.

The juniors who grew up watching him praise him so solemnly made everyone feel much more at ease, and even suppressed Zhong Lie's impatience.

"Although this matter was proposed by the prince, it is the general trend. The treasury is no longer able to support state affairs. Auditing the accounts is inevitable."

Feng Yuexian stood up straight, with a calm demeanor: "The next step is to rectify the bureaucracy - this batch of money will enter the yamen before it comes up, which is a point."

Zhong Lie's face turned pale: "Then what can I do—"

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry." Feng Yuexian turned to comfort her, her voice was cold, but at this moment she seemed calm and self-possessed, people couldn't help but listen to her words, "As a junior, how can I look at my uncle who accompanied my father to kill the enemy?" It hurts the gods because of money."

Feng Yuexian smiled slightly and said: "My father was clean and honest all his life, but fortunately my mother left me with a lot of self-esteem, which will come in handy today to resolve the current situation."

Zhong Lie was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and said anxiously: "This is absolutely impossible, how can I use your dowry money!"

Feng Yuexian raised his voice and said loudly:

"Why not!"

"Uncle Zhong, you are an elder I respect, and you do have difficulties. Even if you can bear to be displaced for a while, you should think about your aunt and siblings."

When mentioning his home, Zhong Lie was stunned for a while, his lips moved, and he couldn't say no for a while.

Finally, his eyes became firm, and he said in a deep voice:

"Then I am ashamed of accepting your love. In the future, Zhong will only rely on orders!"

Feng Yue stood leisurely, her eyes were like lacquer, she slightly bent her lips when she heard this, and said:

"Uncle Zhong doesn't have to be like this."

The other people in the hall seemed to have watched a play before they came back to their senses.

But Feng Yuexian was standing in the hall, looking around at the crowd, her skirt moved slightly, and said:

"As long as any uncle is struggling, I will definitely do my best to cancel the IOU for the uncle, to show the younger generation's heart."

There was a moment of silence in the hall before intermittent voices spread.

"Oh, I shouldn't blame you, but thanks to your reminder, otherwise, if you don't take it seriously, you will really be caught in the yamen and lose face."

"I still have a few shops, even if the income is less, I can't use the dowry money my sister-in-law left for you, otherwise I won't dare to go to the general's mansion to see my eldest brother again!"

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

……

Feng Chenyi was holding a bowl of tea beside him, he didn't take a sip until the tea was cold, he was amazed.

Feng Yuexian's wrist is really outstanding!

Today, the crown prince of the court meeting just proposed to count the debts, and she didn't give half of the moment when the situation became chaotic, and immediately went out of the palace to settle the matter.

Open your mouth first to mention your affection, sell some feelings, and ease everyone's atmosphere.Then he pointed out that this is the trend of the times, not what she proposed, and that it is unavoidable and can only be repaid.

After everyone accepted this statement, they proposed that if the elders really didn't pay, they would use their own dowry to help pay off the debt——

Originally, as juniors, they were inevitably at a disadvantage when facing their elders.But once you say this, it makes no sense to become the uncles' generation.

They are all old men who grew up in the ranks, unlike the literati, who still have some soft bones to eat women's dowry money.

Let the junior use the dowry to pay you back the money to support the family, is it a loss? ?

Now, if it wasn't for someone like Zhong Lie who really had no money to pay back, who else would have the face to ask Feng Yuexian to pay?

How well a family is doing is in the eyes of others, who dares to ask Feng Yuexian to pay for it?

Aren't you afraid that in the future in Shanghai, you will have a reputation for being shameless and money-losing?Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back by these brothers?

And the money given to Zhong Lie bought back Zhong Lie's unmatched loyalty, and even the immature children of the Zhong family received her kindness, there is no better deal than this.

Feng Chenyi carefully smacked the front of the machine for a long time, until Feng Yuexian had left for a long time before he sighed, once again experiencing the fear of being crushed by his cousin's means.

It was rare for Feng Yuexian to leave the palace once, and secretly went back to the general's mansion, met the old man at home, and reassured him.

Immediately she met with the commander of the general's private soldiers. Some things were just spread out on a palm-sized piece of paper, and she couldn't tell the truth, so it was better to meet in person.

"Miss, Deng Bo is expected to arrive in Surabaya in five days. I have sent a message to the King of Chu as you ordered before to encourage Xi Qingyan, but I haven't received a reply yet."

Dali has a vast territory, so it's normal not to receive a reply in time, Feng Yue said humbly:

"Protect Deng Bo and help him try his best to solve the disaster situation. Tell the county guards to settle the flood victims well."

"Yes." The commander agreed.

After Feng Yuexian pondered for a while, he said, "Mr. Xue, who treated my father's legs and feet before, is living in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River?"

What topic is this heading for?The commander was stunned for a moment before he remembered this "Miraculous Doctor Xue".

Old General Feng was hit by a poisoned arrow in the northwest, and the remaining poison was still there, so the imperial doctors were helpless.

This genius doctor Xue came here uninvited, and said that Old General Feng had done a great job in saving countless Li people, so he came here to treat the old general.

No one believed it at first, but in the end, hey, I really let him see it, and then drifted away.

However, after the news spread, it was used by the king of Chu to spread rumors that heaven and man went down to earth to see the old general's doctor, and he returned to heaven despite the emperor's persuasion, trampling on the emperor's suspicion.

"This...should have returned to Jiangnan before." The commander said uncertainly.

Feng Yuexian closed her eyes halfway, and said softly: "Go and look for it."

The commander had a guess in his mind: "Is it... to heal the prince?"

Feng Yuexian didn't answer, waved his sleeves and let him go down.

The leader walked outside in a daze, looking at the square sky with question marks all over his head.

They all hope that the crown prince will live a long life, and my lady is... really going to be a crown princess honestly?

After finishing the trivial matters, Feng Yuexian returned to the East Palace through the secret passage.

The secret passage leads directly to a royal courtyard outside the palace. This courtyard has been given to the prince, and the inside is guarded by the hidden guards in the hands of the prince. Only the commander of the hidden guards knows the entrance of the secret passage.

When Song Pianxuan learned that Feng Yuexian was going to leave the palace, she did not hesitate to inform Feng Yuexian of the secret passage, and personally led her down the secret passage. After more than a hundred steps, she returned to the East Palace.

Every time Feng Yuexian thinks of this, his heart feels like a spring bud swaying, and he makes a small sound of joy.

Before that, she still felt that Song Pianlu might be tricking herself into contributing her efforts with rhetoric, but from her unintentional saving of her master, to her subsequent trust in herself, and today even the palace secrets that can save her life, she casually told herself——

The smile in Feng Yue's idle eyes became stronger, the exit of the secret path was close in front of her eyes, she didn't know if Song Pianjue went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, or she was resting in the East Palace.

If it is in the East Palace, it must be reading a book——

Feng Yuexian guessed that just after returning to the palace, Yinxue who stayed behind immediately came to make a small report.

"Crown Princess, Princess Qinghe has entered the palace."

Feng Yue Xian casually said:

"Ok?"

"As soon as the prince heard that she was coming, he immediately went to see her."

"!"

Feng Yuexian's eyes sharpened.

Did Song Pianlu steal food while she was not at home?

No wonder he sent himself away with kind words and kind words today, and even sent him a hundred or so steps away.

It turned out that my ex-jio had just left, and the latter jio went to see others——

The crown princess stood on the spot, the star in her eyes became more and more cold.

Yinbing stared at Yinxue and explained:

"Princess Qinghe entered the palace to see the eldest princess. In the future, the East Palace will go to the Mingshou Palace alone..."

Very good, I went directly to Song Pianiao.

Feng Yuexian's face became even more tense, exuding a chilling and charming demeanor.

Drinking ice did not dare to speak.

Did she say something wrong?Why did the master look even worse?

She finished the second half of the sentence in a low voice: "...The crown prince probably went to Mingshou Palace because he heard the news and remembered that he hadn't seen the princess for a long time."

After Yin Bing finished speaking, he saw the master took two steps out and then came back again. He raised his jaw and said calmly, as if he was going to catch the rape:

"Green up for the palace."

Song Pianlu was in Mingshou Palace at this time, listening to Qinghe's beeping.

Originally, she planned to come back to be a princess again in two days, and go out for a walk to refresh her sense of existence, but Qinghe suddenly came.

Qinghe came from an extraordinary background, she was the daughter of a king with a different surname, and at the same time was Yuanshen's only handkerchief, and lived with Yuanshen in the palace for a while.If you don't see him behind closed doors, it's too much of a violation.

The original body didn't walk through the secret passage, and Luo Chen, the leader of the secret guard, was sent out by her to handle errands. The secret passages extend in all directions, and she didn't know how to get to the Mingshou Palace, so she had to come here from the front with the crown prince's guard of honor.

When he came to Mingshou Palace, before Qinghe arrived at Mingshou Palace, he just found a reason that "the prince went to the purple bamboo forest to have a rest alone", and settled the matter.

Qinghe blinked, knocked on the melon seeds and said: "...Why did your brother marry Feng Yuexian? She is so rude, and your brother is so weak, so she should be a good match for me. Otherwise, what should I do if she spoils me?"

Song Pianlu took a sip of tea and rolled it down her throat, almost choking on it.

"How come."

Two rice cakes sleep side by side on tatami, how can they spoil each other?glue together?

"Besides, I was the one who judged her arbitrarily before, she was not like that, I was narrow-minded." Song Pianlu generously admitted her mistake on behalf of the original body.

Qinghe felt wronged.

"She's not rude, but she has a dark heart."

"Ok?"

"It's okay for you to hang around in the palace. I was raped several times by her outside the palace." Qinghe said loudly, "Didn't I just say a few bad things about her? Look at her stingy, cheapskate."

"..." Seeing that Qinghe was still full of energy, she knew it was not a big deal. Just as Song Pianlu was about to say, "Your words spread all over Shangjing", she heard a soft laugh from outside.

As moist as soufflé, as light as a feather, it makes people's ears itch and their hearts itch.

"Why, the princess came to the palace to sue?"

The sound was like frost splashing on the ground, lightly puffing up the snow stars like green smoke, spreading into a cold mist, cold and light.

It was Feng Yuexian's voice, which Song Pianlu recognized immediately.

She has come back?

Qinghe jumped up like a frightened squirrel, and Song Pianliu also stood up and turned to look over.

With her current status, she has never seen Feng Yuexian.

She smiled and bowed her knees:

"Is it the emperor's wife? Pianle has seen the emperor's wife."

Feng Yue was standing in front of the main hall of Mingshou Palace, Fang crossed the threshold, stood still, and saw Song Pianliu when she raised her eyes.

It was Song Pianli who restored the woman herself.

She was wearing a fairy dress with golden hundred butterflies, white on the top and red on the bottom, dignified and elegant.

She was wearing a falling pony bun, wearing gold inlaid beads on her head, and Feng Bu Yao, as she got up, the pearl in Jin Feng's mouth and the edge of her skirt swayed slightly, like spring waves.

In the evening, Feng Yuexian who shared the bed had seen Song Pianlu's original appearance. She was [-]% similar to the prince's appearance. She only felt that Song Pianliao at that time was much softer and more beautiful, but she didn't want to put on makeup——

In other words, today, I can suddenly lose my mind at a glance.

Looking around, it seduces people's souls.

She came back to her senses, recalled the relationship between the two, turned her eyes away and said:

"Since entering the palace, I haven't seen the princess in the future. I heard that the princess is entering the palace today, so I must come to join in the fun."

It was a coincidence that this other eye fell on Qinghe.

Remembering how long Song Pianlu had shown Qinghe's good looks before he came, Feng Yuexian said with a half-smile:

"But it seems that Qinghe probably doesn't want to see Bengong."

"How, how could it be." Qinghe's face was full of insincere words, but his reply was full of desire to survive.

The palace servant was banned by the princess before, and now he came in to serve him in a hurry, Feng Yuexian sat down on the red sandalwood chair unceremoniously, and sipped tea leisurely.

When her heartbeat calmed down, her eyes turned back to Song Pianlu:

"What did you just say?"

speak ill of you.Qinghe is very good at this question, but she dare not say it.

Song Pianlu's smile remained unchanged, and said: "Qinghe mentioned the emperor's brother and wife, and he was very envious in his words."

Qinghe looked at her sisters with a "sisters awesome" expression, Song Pianlu could actually beautify "I'm so envious of Feng Yuexian being your sister-in-law" like this?

Is this the charm of language?

Qinghe rubbed his hands secretly to see Feng Yuexian's expression.

Although the sister's words are nice, but with Feng Yuexian's scheming, she knows that she doesn't like her very much, so she definitely won't believe such nonsense——

Then, Princess Qinghe saw a smile in Feng Yuexian's eyes, who had always been ruthless towards him, and his lips curled slightly.

Although the expression range is not large, the joy between the eyebrows and eyes is clearly visible, and the face is like a peach blossom, full of charm.

"There is nothing to envy." The princess said concisely.

But your expression doesn't say that!"Yes, I am very happy, I am very happy, come and envy me" is written all over your face!

Qinghe looked at Feng Yuexian as if he had seen a ghost.

Is this or that one, no matter which son or brother tries to please her, Feng Yuexian who can't get a look from the cold beauty?

Or that, Quanshang Jingdu felt that she agreed to marry into the East Palace because it was easier to be the emperor or Feng Yuexian who listened to the government behind the curtain?

After Feng Yuexian came, Qinghe was restless, and quickly proposed to take a step first.

Song Pianiao went straight to the gate of Mingshou Palace, Feng Yuexian was not in front of her, Qinghe finally couldn't hold back, hugged her good sister's arm, leaned closer, and said cautiously:

"You have to remind your brother, pay attention to your body."

"Huh?" Song Pianlu didn't know why.

Qinghe's expression was solemn: "Do you think Feng Yuexian looks like a goblin who has absorbed enough energy?"

Qinghe's expression was serious and worried: "Be careful that your imperial brother will be drained by her - without your imperial brother's support, you will be played by this vicious woman in the future, it's terrible, isn't it!"
