Xu Ning'er went back to the bedroom, and just changed her clothes and makeup when she heard the report 'Your Majesty is here' from outside.

At this time, Emperor Zhengde should be very busy, why did he come to her palace just now without finding his confidant to discuss important matters?Xu Ning'er's eyelids twitched, but she still walked out quickly to greet her.

"The concubine welcomes His Majesty." Xu Ning'er saw Emperor Zhengde and slowly blessed himself.

"My concubine, get up quickly." Emperor Zhengde helped Xu Ning'er up with a sad face.

Xu Ning'er glanced at the hands that the two shook hands, and felt a strange feeling in her heart. This might be the last time they shook hands. Xu Ning'er was a little lost at this moment. In all fairness, Emperor Zhengde treated her well, but this If people don't die, there will be no hope between her and Jiang Jingqiao forever.

"Your Majesty, please." Xu Ning'er withdrew her hand, trying to lure Emperor Zhengde into his bedroom.

"I still have something to do, I won't go in, so let's talk about it here." Emperor Zhengde held Xu Ning'er back, "I just came back from the imperial court, and the civil and military officials in the Manchu court think that there are few people who think about me. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. I am very sad."

Hearing this, Xu Ning'er raised her eyes to look at Emperor Zhengde, only to see that the other party was looking at her affectionately, and her heart skipped a beat.

"It was suggested by Aifei that Yujia went to Liangzhou personally, saying that it could inspire the army and stabilize the hearts of the people. Now I just want to know, whether to win or lose, will Aifei go with me?"

Xu Ning'er forced a smile and said, "Naturally, the concubine will advance and retreat with His Majesty."

"Would the concubine be willing to go to Liangzhou with me?" Emperor Zhengde kept looking at Xu Ning'er's expression, he wanted to see if he was in the heart of the only woman he loved.

Xu Ning'er's face changed slightly.

"Why, is Aifei unwilling? Could it be that Aifei, like those ministers, can only share peace with me, but can't share adversity with me?" Emperor Zhengde saw Xu Ning'er's face change, and his heart sank gradually At first, he still wanted to get rid of Xu Guogong and keep Xu Ning'er, but now it seems that Xu Ning'er tried his best to encourage him to go to the imperial conquest, because he wanted to prevent him from coming back.

"My concubine... of course my concubine is willing, but I'm afraid that if I go there, I won't be able to protect myself and distract my majesty." Xu Ning'er's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and she originally wanted to stay in the capital to plan the matter with Jiang Jingqiao, but now she looks at Liangzhou. She had to go.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are by my side, I will feel at ease." Emperor Zhengde smiled, but there was no joy in the depths of his eyes, "You are ready, at five o'clock tomorrow, you will leave the palace with me."

"Here." Xu Ning'er responded softly.

Looking at the back of Emperor Zhengde leaving, Xu Ning'er's eyes were full of helplessness.However, she also confirmed that the man who kept saying he loved her didn't actually love her much.Liangzhou is already the most dangerous place, and you still want to take her there, how much do you love her?He only loves himself.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty took you to Liangzhou, why did you agree?" The maid became anxious when she saw the people walking away. Liangzhou was fighting, and their safety was a problem.

Xu Ning'er turned around slowly, and walked back while saying: "Look at your majesty's posture just now, can you still let me not do it? Let's go, he lost this round after all, he should have never done it, You shouldn’t have sent all the soldiers and horses out.”

"Isn't King Jing going to suspend it? The empress and her are in Liangzhou and the other is in the capital. How can there be a chance?"

Xu Ning'er stopped when he heard the words, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Don't worry, if Emperor Zhengde is trapped in Liangzhou, King Jing will definitely bring someone to rescue him. Once he comes to Liangzhou, he will never leave again."

At this moment in Prince Jing's Mansion, Jiang Jingqiao and Wei Bing were discussing important matters and rejecting proposals one after another when Xingwu came in with news.

Jiang Jingqiao took it and saw it was Meng Yunying's souvenir, after reading it, he handed it to Wei Bing and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Wei Bing took the letter and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The son-in-law and the princess are really smart, and this time it can be said that people don't know it. King Ning may not have expected it in his dreams."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao smiled and said, "If I can't figure out this trick, I'm afraid I won't. It all depends on Meng Yunying." Jiang Jingqiao said and stood up, "Let's go, it's noon, let's stay and have dinner together."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wei Bing stood up with a smile, feeling relieved that the matter was settled.

The two walked through the flower garden behind the front hall all the way to the garden of the palace. Under the plane tree, Zhao Qingzhi and Xia Yin'er were kicking shuttlecocks in a competition. Next to them, Meng Qing was holding Xiao An in her arms and watching with a smile, while the eldest daughter of the Wei family was cheering. clapping her hands, while the youngest daughter of the Wei family was holding on to the stone stool and waving her little hands, babbling.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jingqiao and Wei Bing stopped at the same time, seeing the smile on his wife's face, the eyes of the two became more tender.

Jiang Jingqiao stared at Zhao Qingzhi intently. The other party turned around and kicked her, and felt that she was so beautiful. Today's Zhao Qingzhi lacked a little coldness and added a little girlish liveliness.

Zhao Qingzhi took the shuttlecock kicked by Xia Yin'er, turned around, raised her hair lightly, saw Jiang Jingqiao at the bottom of the corridor, raised her mouth slightly, and kicked it towards Jiang Jingqiao. Jiang Jingqiao looked at the shuttlecock flying towards her, and lifted the shuttlecock Hold it firmly in your hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhi smiled and said, "Oh, did your Highness always kick shuttlecocks with his hands when he was young?"

"Your mouth." Jiang Jingqiao smiled and walked down the corridor.

Seeing this, Xia Yin'er hurriedly greeted her: "I have seen Your Highness."

"Hurry up, come and go often, not as polite as that face." Jiang Jingqiao said with a smile, looked at Lan Ke who was waiting aside, and said: "Today, Master Wei's family is staying at the residence as a guest, please pass the meal on."

"No." Lan Ke responded and waved to the little maid behind.

The dishes were served on the table one by one. Zhao Qingzhi sat beside Jiang Jingqiao, looked at Meng Qing and said, "Meng Qing, take out the green plum wine that I brewed together with Your Highness last year."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, take it out, it's the best season to drink, let's try it together."

Meng Qing quickly brought green plum wine and poured a glass for everyone present.

Zhao Qingzhi looked at Jiang Jingqiao and asked, "How does it taste?"

"The entrance is a faint green plum flavor. As soon as the wine is swallowed, the aroma of the wine comes out. After a while, the fruity aroma of the wine lingers between the teeth. Not to mention, we have reached this level for the first time. It can be seen that the partners cooperate. , this wine is slightly sweet." Jiang Jingqiao said with a smile.

Zhao Qingzhi was listening carefully, the first half of what he said was in tune, and the latter sentence was pure hooliganism.

"Your Highness agrees, then this wine can be sold." Zhao Qingzhi said leisurely.

Jiang Jingqiao was taken aback when he heard the words: "You want to give it away?"

"It's not a gift. Sister Yin'er and I have made an appointment with the wives of several ministers in the court this afternoon. This wine is just for entertainment."

"Aiya." Jiang Jingqiao exclaimed, and took a look at Zhao Qingzhi, "I remember that you don't like getting together with people you can't talk to, what's wrong today?"

"I heard that the governor of Chuzhou opened the gates and surrendered. Some people in Qingzhou and Chuzhou surrendered, but a large number of people escaped. Sister Yin'er and I guessed that Liangzhou City would soon be unable to accommodate them. It is inevitable that Lord Wang will open the gates and let these people go. If the refugees enter Beijing, if preparations are not made early, how will these people who have fled to Beijing be resettled?"

Xia Yin'er heard the words and continued: "Yes, the princess attaches great importance to this matter, so she discussed starting with the wives of these officials. Everyone will pay some money and find a place to set up a unified shed."

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Qingzhi with a little more pride when he heard it, and said: "This is a good thing, or do you think in the long run, I wonder how much you plan to make their family pay?"

"I think we'll take the lead in paying 1000 taels. As for them, they can pay as much as they want, and don't force them. In the face of national crisis, it's just a wish." Zhao Qingzhi said, looking at Jiang Jingqiao, "What do you think?"

"Well, you just go, I'll come up with something if it's not enough." Jiang Jingqiao pursed his lips lightly, thinking about it, "Come, come, eat, eat."

After the meal, Zhao Qingzhi hosted a banquet in honor of the courtiers' wives, while Jiang Jingqiao took Wei Bing to Wei's residence.

Jiang Jingqiao took a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Bing, "Come on, let's learn from the concubine and the others, you write invitations to the ministers here now."

Wei Bing heard the words: "Your Highness, what is this book?"

"Oh, the records of corrupt officials, I originally wanted to deal with them one by one, but it takes time to deal with corrupt officials. Those who have been crossed out are all resolved, or those who have been dismissed from office are seriously still in prison."

Wei Bing carefully looked at the list above, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid they won't come, I don't have any friendship with them."

"What does it matter if you don't have friendship? You are the admiral of the Nine Gates now, and their wealth and life depend on you. Don't worry, you can just write. I promise, not only will they come, but they will also come with great gifts." Jiang Jingqiao said. Shake open the fan and fan it slowly, "Later, I will leave first, and when they come, I will be dizzy from drinking, and I will come again, and today we will let them take from the people and give back to the people."

"Your Majesty, I will write the invitation." Wei Bing picked up his pen as he spoke.

At night, Jiang Jingqiao came out of Wei's mansion with a stack of bank notes in his arms, and returned to the mansion happily.

"Where is the concubine?" Jiang Jingqiao stopped a little maid and asked.

"Go back to Your Highness, the princess is in the study."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao jumped over the railing from the corridor and ran all the way to the study.

Zhao Qingzhi heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, saw that it was Jiang Jingqiao, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is back? Why are you so happy?"

Jiang Jingqiao saw Zhao Qingzhi fiddle with the abacus, cleared his throat, stepped forward and said, "How about it, how much money did you get together?"

"If the money is used to build a shed to cook porridge, I'm afraid it won't last for ten days." Zhao Qingzhi put down her pen, "I still need to think of other ways. You can't ask the Ministry of Households again. Is the money coming?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao walked to Zhao Qingzhi's side, sat down on the armrest and said, "Don't count on the treasury, in order to confuse Xu Guogong, the emperor prepared enough food for the Western Expedition Army at once, but don't worry, See what this is?" Jiang Jingqiao took out a stack of bank notes from his arms.

A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Qingzhi's eyes, and she said happily, "Where did you come from?"

"I learned this from you. Wei Bing and I were not idle. We let those corrupt officials 'willingly' hand it over."

Zhao Qingzhi knew that Jiang Jingqiao had a plan to get rid of corrupt officials, and said happily after hearing this, "Your Highness is really smart."

"It's all taught by Master Qingqing." Jiang Jingqiao said with a smile.

Zhao Qingzhi smiled slightly: "Then the apprentice must be smart."

"Is this Qingqing praising me?" Jiang Jingqiao said happily.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzhi raised her hand and touched Jiang Jingqiao's ear, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Yeah, I'm complimenting you, Xiao An is with Meng Qing and Nanny, you go and carry her back to the bedroom, I will count the money and return." gone."

"Then I'll wait for you." Jiang Jingqiao said and quickly kissed Zhao Qingzhi, then left the study with a smile.

Zhao Qingzhi's eyes followed Jiang Jingqiao all the time, until she could no longer see the other party, then she lowered her head and carefully counted the bank notes brought back by her sweetheart.
