, "The two of us have been with Chang Ning for eight full years... But how can we fake these eight years? We say we are accompanying Chang Ning, but in fact, we are like sisters. It's me... I can't help Chang Ning, and I can't help you either.

…I’m even more sorry…”

"Your Majesty!" The Crown Princess stood up for a moment, "What happened in the past is in the past, don't mention it again! The past is gone... Since Your Majesty doesn't want another war to end the lives of the people... Then where is the Holy Spirit... still need to

My Majesty, please give me some more words of advice... Thinking about what your Majesty said before about your request, I also hope that I can persuade the Prince more when I go back..."

Concubine Hua nodded: "You and I have grown up together, and this tacit understanding will always be there... In fact, no matter how the adults in the court argue, what matters in the end is the Holy Will. As long as the Holy Will is firm, the Crown Prince will

If we no longer insist on the main battle, the war will never start anyway."

"Then I'll rely on my wife." After saying that, he stood up and left.

When I left, I didn't take the box with the bracelet with me.

The eldest maid, Peony, picked up the box and asked, "Mother, what should I do?"

Concubine Hua reached out to take it and sighed: "Go down and don't ask anyone to disturb you." After saying that, she took the box and entered the inner hall.

In the inner hall, an old man about fifty years old was lying on the couch. His hair was half gray and half white. He heard footsteps and opened his eyes: "Sent away?"

"Looking at what you said, it's rare for someone to come and say a few words to me now." She handed the box in her hand, "Look, it was given to me by the Crown Princess. I'll keep it safe for her. I'll wait until the grandson

When we get married, do you agree that I will give this thing to the concubine?"

Emperor Pingxuan only took one look and retracted: "You! You can't change your kindness."

He stretched out his hand to play with a pair of slender hands that were as white as snow: "Yin Bofang...don't you still owe me a favor? You can send someone to deliver a letter to him later, saying that you persuaded me, but I am already a little shaken.

"

Concubine Hua stiffened for a moment: "Do you have to ask my people to deliver the message? You can order my people as you wish. I can lend them to you, but I... will never give them orders even to the death of me." As she said,

He twisted his body, facing the other side, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with his hands, as if tears were about to fall at any time.

"Look, look!" Emperor Pingxuan shook her, "If you don't want to, just don't want to. Why are you still crying?"

"You don't need to tell me about the Yin family in the future..." She stood up and said, "What do you think you are doing this all the time? Otherwise, just send me back to the Yin family!"

"Why are you so angry?" Emperor Pingxuan sat up and pulled him back, "After all, we are the ones who feel sorry for the Yin family..."

"You still said!" Concubine Hua's tears suddenly fell down, "All sins are my sins. In the future, if I go to the eighteenth level of hell, what kind of punishment will I receive..."

"Okay!" Emperor Pingxuan hugged her, "Okay, it's all my fault! I am old, but you are still in your prime..." He whispered in her ear, "I feel a little powerless at night...

"

Concubine Hua blushed and slapped him: "What are you talking about?" But after she was annoyed, she said again: "What do you want? You should have heard what I told the princess before. I don't care about you men.

Whether the family wants to fight or make peace. You always have your own reasons. But Changning...how should she deal with herself? Although the grandson has integrity, Changning has not had a child of his own in these years, and he is no match for him.

He has a poor biological son. But now, he has achieved a good reputation, but where does he leave Changning?"

The smile on Emperor Pingxuan's face faded little by little, "You are my father! It's not surprising!"

Concubine Hua smiled and changed the subject, "It's Chinese New Year, so don't let your spirits get down. What do you want to eat today? Ask someone to make it..."

Fourth Master did not go out today. Instead, he stayed in the inner room of the Yin family's study, euphemistically calling it: reading.

In fact, reading books is the best way to get news.

One morning, groups of people ran to the mansion one after another, nominally to pay New Year greetings, but in fact, they were talking about the current situation in the DPRK.

This person said: Grand Master, the Emperor doesn’t know our difficulties, but you do. The Ministry of Revenue still owes money from outside bank accounts, and his subordinates are afraid to go home during the Chinese New Year and are settling in a small courtyard. At home.

They are all surrounded by creditors.

That person said: Your Majesty only asked how long it will take to complete the Palace of Paradise? But it requires money and no money, and it requires no material, so what can we build it with? How about building a thatched house?

I don’t know who said: Then you deserve it too. You should also take good care of the people under the plumber department. I don’t know if you have done the calculation. A good pine wood was transported from the south and covered with the roof.

The cost is only 30,000 yuan. No one is clean at this level of exploitation. Twenty taels of silver is enough for a small family to live a prosperous life for a year, and three taels of silver is enough for a small family to not go hungry for a year.

But this piece of wood alone costs 30,000. Thirty thousand! It is enough for 10,000 households to survive for a year.

To put it bluntly, there is just no money.

But things still had to be done.

If she didn't talk about welcoming her grandson back, Qingliu would be like a dog smelling fishy smell, insisting on this point.

"Welcome is welcome." Yin Bofang waved his hand to suppress the noise below, "Welcoming your grandson is your duty as a minister..."

"Yes! Grand Master, you are right. But if we want to fight, food and grass must come first. It is us who are in trouble. You should talk to some adults in the cabinet, and we still have some room to slow down the fight.

, I’m just exhausted, and I’m afraid I’ll end up doing things poorly in the end.”

This is true.

The study suddenly became quiet.

Fourth Master put the book aside. They wanted to use a delaying tactic. To make peace, you have to talk. Talking may not be successful at one time. The two places are far apart, and just one trip will take three months. There are still many things in between.

There is a negotiation process, and one negotiation takes the first half of a year... Then if the first negotiation fails, the year will pass by. In addition, in the bitter cold land in the north, there will be four or five months of rushing. If you want to rush,

You can't be in a hurry. If we can't talk this year, we can continue talking next year. Repeat it over and over again, five times, five times, three to five years ago, and there's no problem at all if we push back the past.

With this buffer, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

Yin Bofang stroked his beard and said, "Let's leave today. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to find out what the Holy Emperor has said."

What's there to explore? Apart from this, there is no other way to go.

He was no longer curious about this.

Instead, he went out through the side door of the inner room and left the house directly. Today, everyone is talking about his grandson, so there may not be more news in the market.

I found a busy teahouse. On the first day of the new year, there were quite a few people coming out. Many of them were dressed as servants, and they were supposed to be inquiring about news for the master's family.

"...The prince is taking charge of the battle, and he wants to put his grandson to death! How did you make this determination?"

"If this one dies, there will be that one. As for the great-grandson, if this son can be a son, then that son can also be a son. Who can be a son or not, right?"

"That's right! Speaking of which, the Prince of Lin'an County is the eldest son."

"This is a taboo thing, so just shut up."

"There's nothing that can't be said about this. It's just that the Crown Princess is not mentally prepared before she even tastes it. Have you heard? The East Palace raises girls from the Chen family, who are like jewels and treasures... The Chen family is also a wealthy family, and Mr. Chen is one of the three gentlemen.

Can’t the family afford to raise a granddaughter? Why is it raised in the East Palace? It’s not reserved for Prince Lin’an!”

"If you say that, it's really...otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this matter in the East Palace was really interesting.

He got up, packed a few kilograms of snacks directly from the store, and got up to go to the East Palace.

The East Palace is not built in the palace, but is a separate palace complex two miles away from the palace. The prince built his own palace alone.

Going to the uterus does not necessarily require you to meet the prince. This time, he went directly to the side door and asked the young boy who was following him to go to the side door and report: "I just wanted to pay New Year's greetings to Divine Doctor Luo. It's convenient." After saying this, he handed over a few.

Golden beans passed.

Money opened the way, and the doctor Luo was found, and he was quickly introduced.

Doctor Luo didn't expect that he was a child of the Yin family, "Why are you here?"

"Don't forget the life-saving grace." Fourth Master handed the snacks to Divine Doctor Luo, "A little thought."

Who cares about a little treat?

I just fancy this sincerity.

You know without asking that he came here on his own initiative. If it was his family's arrangement, he wouldn't just bring a few bags of snacks.

He called the patient in and sat down. He chatted a few words first. They were mostly in line with his profession and told the patient what he should pay attention to. Then, Divine Doctor Luo talked about Yin Chengzhi: "Your father, it's true that he doesn't

It's easy. He is a humble gentleman..."

While he was talking, there were voices outside.

Divine Doctor Luo signaled Fourth Master to wait a moment: "...Come as soon as you go."

Inside, I could still vaguely hear the voice of a young girl outside: "...Our princess asked the miracle doctor if my cousin's body has any taboos on food. Now the Crown Princess is busy, so she presided over the gift.

Everything has been left to our princess. The princess is also very nervous... she is afraid that something is inappropriate..."

The fourth master frowned. It was impossible for the princess to hand over the middle child to a concubine. Then the princess in these words could only be Princess Yong'an, that is, Lin Yutong. But if Lin Yutong was Tongtong, she would have been here for several months.

, why does the girl next to me still speak in this tone? She shows off her hosting duties, regardless of the person or the occasion. It’s okay for a girl like this to be left sweeping in the yard, but she will never use it when going out to do errands.

The great-grandson who lives far away in Beikang and speaks very much like Tongtong... Princess Yong'an whose name is Lin Yutong, but just looking at the people she employs is not Tongtong's style... and the one who is said to have been prepared by the Crown Princess in order to deepen her relationship with the concubine.

My niece, the youngest sister of the Chen family.

Why do I feel so awkward?

Because Divine Doctor Luo had something to do, he didn't stay long and left. Divine Doctor Luo asked the attendants to escort him out. On the way out of the house, he heard the voice of the girl who just spoke again, "...I live in this guest house.

Who is he? Why don't you tell us clearly what specifications the princess should prepare according to... Businessman? What businessman? Why should the businessman bother to serve you?... Taisun's people... Oh! Then I understand... these two days

I will definitely be comfortable being served..."

The fourth master glanced in the direction of the guest house and told the young boy beside him: "Tell someone to keep an eye on... the guests coming out of the guest house in the East Palace. I will wait to see you..."
To be continued...
