"Something's not quite right."
When Her Royal Highness was about to leave, she suddenly turned her head, looked at Li Yi, and said with piercing eyes.
Just said a few more words, Li Yizheng was very thirsty, holding a pot of tea and poured it fiercely, put down the teapot when he heard this, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Her Royal Highness showed a thoughtful look on her face, and said: "You usually hide when you can, and you can say a few words and never say a word. Why are you so attentive this time? There must be something weird."
Looking at Li Mingzhu's suspicious eyes, Li Yi wanted to smash the teapot in his hand.
I'm... , didn't I just say a few more words, what's so weird, can I have any plans for you
If you were the eldest prince instead of the eldest princess, I don't need to do these things and say these things, I'm in a panic!
Risking the water meter being checked by the imperial court, advising on the implementation of the new marriage law, staying up all night writing scripts, getting two pimples on my face, and buying sailors to fan the flames and create public opinion—doing this, I Is it easy for me!
How good it is to sell perfume and underwear, and only care about the happiness of women in the world when they are full, whether they are married or not, whether they are independent in thought, whether they are conscious of struggle...
A heartless fellow, he doesn't even look at who gets the benefits, but just casually flashes his sword in the court, earns fame and money, and waits until the two ideas he just said become reality, She still doesn't know what she will get, and now she still suspects that she has other motives
Without herself, she is still grounded now!
"Xiaohuan, see off the guests!"
Li Yizhong lay back on the chair, extremely disappointed in his heart, never looked at her again, and told the little maid.
The little maid stared blankly at the front, that is Her Royal Highness, how can I send it off
…
"Mingzhu wants to open a women's school?" Emperor Jing turned his head to look, shook his head and said: "If it is according to what the queen said, the scale of this women's school is really rare in the world, and it can be called another Imperial College. She has been struggling all the time, but there is no extra money for her to toss about like this."
Although women's studies are rare in the folk, they are indispensable for those scholarly families and wealthy families.
Girls in the family have to enter women's school when they are young. In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and classics, "Nv Jian" and "Nv Xun" about women's morality, women's duties and boudoir etiquette are also compulsory.
Mingzhu has been thinking about doing something for women these days, and he is not surprised that she wants to open a women's school, but if she follows her idea, it will cost a lot of money, and the treasury is already tight, so it is impossible to use money for these things.
The queen put a bowl of soup on the table in front of Emperor Jing, and said, "Your Majesty guessed wrong this time, Mingzhu didn't think about taking money from the treasury."
Emperor Jing asked suspiciously: "Without the investment of one hundred thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to accomplish. Where will she get these silver?"
The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what is the most profitable business in this capital?"
Emperor Jing took a sip of the soup and turned to look at her. He had to deal with countless government affairs every day, so how could he have the energy to care about these things
"It's perfume." The queen looked at him and said, "All the concubines in the palace, down to the maids, even a few little princesses are using perfume, and it is very popular outside the palace. There has been a stir among the noble ladies in the city, Your Majesty knows, how much does this bottle of perfume, which is about an inch tall, cost?"
Emperor Jing shook his head. Li Yi said that he couldn't smell the perfume, so the maids around him were not allowed to use it, and the queen never used it. He didn't know much about it.
"Ten taels of silver." The queen looked at him and said, "A bottle is worth ten taels of silver. Even so, there are still countless people flocking to it. What's more, perfume is only a kind of industry under the name of Mingzhu. , spirits, the profits of these things are not inferior to those of perfume, to be honest, I don't even know how much Mingzhu has now."
Emperor Jing was surprised: "These things have such a huge profit, but within half a year, can she easily spend one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. You must know that Jingguo’s annual tax revenue is only ten million taels. There have been disasters in more than two years, and last year’s tax revenue was only eight million taels. Mingzhu alone, in such a short period of time It's unbelievable to have a net worth of 100,000 or even more in a short period of time.
"This must be attributed to His Majesty's Li Xianbo." The Queen smiled and said: "Not only Pearl, but Xuan'er has earned a lot of money in the past six months. Filial piety has been softened..."
"A good county magistrate doesn't do it, but learns from businessmen to do those profit-seeking things..." Emperor Jing shook his head and asked, "What is Li Yi doing these days?"
Chang De's figure appeared behind him, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Li Xianbo is taking the two princesses to play around these days."
"What else?" Seeing that Chang De had said a word, he didn't speak again. After a while, Emperor Jing looked back at him and asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty, no more." Chang De shook his head and said.
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Does he only play around with Yongning and Shouning every day?"
Chang De nodded and said, "Li Xianbo said that this is to let Princess Yongning relax and help her condition."
Emperor Jing waved his hand, and said helplessly: "I don't know where he learned his medical skills. Although it seems absurd, it is also effective, that's all..."
Chang De thought for a while, and then said: "Li Xianzi also said that because His Majesty called Princess Yongning into the palace twice and interrupted the treatment, another ten days of treatment is needed..."
"Treatment?" Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that since His Majesty summoned the princess into the palace for three days, the princess will stay at Li Xianbo's mansion for ten more days." Chang De said.
"Nonsense!" Emperor Jing slapped the table and said, "You are not joking. Two months is two months. One day can't be more, and one day can't be less. It's strange that I called Yongning into the palace. Why, I can't." Have you seen your daughter?"
Chang De sighed, and said: "Uncle Li said that the last ten days are very important. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted. Your Royal Highness—maybe it will become what it was before."
When Emperor Jing heard this, his body shook slightly.
How could he forget that demented expression and empty eyes, after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten days, that's all, ten days is ten days..."
Thinking of another thing, Emperor Jing suddenly asked: "Where did Shouning go? Why haven't I seen her these days?"
Chang De pondered for a moment, and said, "Didn't His Majesty make a decree that Princess Shouning can leave the palace these days?"
It was only then that Emperor Jing realized that the girl in Shouning was stalking and threatening on a hunger strike, so he agreed to her because of a headache. In these two months, he can go out of the palace to see Yongning. Does she go every day
A moment later, an angry voice came from the Hall of Qinzheng.
"Abducting one of my daughters is not enough, do you want to abduct another one!"
