After Yuan Qingling walked around, she sat in the pavilion. The baby was placed in a stroller made by Yuan Qingling to continue to bask in the warm sun. The little snow wolves were also crawling beside the car, and the golden autumn sun was streaming down the third child. Three wolves were unspeakably comfortable.
Man'er and Ah Si also came over, Ah Si sat down and talked to Yuan Qingling, Man'er and Qiluo Luya were learning embroidery. In the distance, his mother ordered Kao to arrange the flowers and trees in the yard. In the distance, there were two little girls in twos and threes. Walking back and forth in the mansion, orderly and busy alive.
Yuan Qing Ling squinted her eyes, and sighed that the years have been quiet.
But Ah Si frowned, "It's a waste of time. Why shouldn't you do something so good in the morning?"
Yuan Qingling smiled. This is the difference between an old woman and a little girl. Although it has only been more than a year since she came here, she felt that her state of mind had reached the age of aging after several lives and deaths. Live some peaceful days.
But Ah Si, like this morning sun, is full of vigor and ambition.
Xu Yi came back and informed that His Highness had left the palace and returned to the Yamen.
Yuan Qingling asked, "How is your highness?"
Xu Yi said: "Obviously it's not very good, since I was out of the palace and returned to the Yamen, I said a word."
Ah Si asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Yi looked at her like an idiot, "Tell me to come back and tell the princess his whereabouts."
Yuan Qing Ling's eyebrows sank and said, "I see, you can go to work."
Xu Yi retired.
Yuan Qingling's mood suddenly deteriorated, and she sighed softly. The fifth child must have reported the truth to the emperor, but what would the emperor do? Will Concubine Hyun move
At noon, the attendant in the palace came out to Xuan Yuanqing Ling to enter the palace to see the driver. This made Yuan Qingling a little surprised, guessing that it was for the concubine, but why shouldn't this matter interfere with her
Yuan Qingling entered the palace alone, and as the inmate came outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, she was startled, "Is the emperor inside?"
Before the inmate answered, he saw Father Mu Ru coming out and said with a smile: "The princess came just right, and the emperor is waiting for you to eat."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingling's scalp became numb. The cost of such grace was double the price.
"Princess, please come in soon." Seeing her standing still, Mu Ru's father-in-law continued to smile and wave.
Yuan Qingling had to follow father-in-law Mu Ru in, and the skirt swept across the steps, almost falling in a daze.
After entering the warm pavilion, I saw that the tableware had been placed on the table of the eight immortals of sandalwood. Emperor Ming Yuan was sitting beside the desk reading a book. Concubine Hu was waiting beside him. When he saw her coming, Emperor Ming Yuan raised his head and looked at her, "Come on. !"
Yuan Qingling went to salute immediately, "See the father and the emperor for the daughter-in-law, and see the concubine Hu."
"No ceremony, sit down." Emperor Ming Yuan stood up, with a smile on his face, but Yuan Qingling didn't dare to stare at it, but felt that the smile was forcibly squeezed out after a glance.
Emperor Ming Yuan took the seat first, and Concubine Hu sat beside her with a quiet and beautiful smile, and smiled gently at Yuanqing Ling.
Concubine Hu was originally an ardent woman, but her temperament seemed to change drastically after she became pregnant, she faded away from her youthfulness and recklessness, and became calm and mature.
It seems that men and children can indeed make a woman change quickly.
Yuan Qingling bit her scalp into her seat, and listened to the Ming Yuan Emperor's order for Mu Rugong to pass the meal, she cautiously asked first, "I don't know what's the matter with the father and the daughter-in-law in the palace?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said, "What can I do? I invite you to dinner."
Yuan Qing chuckled, "Thank you, Father." She glanced at Concubine Hu secretly, hoping that Concubine Hu could give her some hints, but Concubine Hu's eyes were gentle and loving, as if looking at her daughter-in-law's gentleness.
There is no hint at all.
For a moment, the palace maidens entered, three people, four dishes and one soup. It was very simple, exquisite but not rich. There were three kinds of vegetarian dishes. There was only one fish in the meat dish, and the braised pine nuts were sour and sweet. It should be accommodating. Concubine's appetite.
The Emperor Ming Yuan, who had always eaten without talking, looked at Yuan Qingling and said, "Your meals in the Prince of Chu's Mansion are more abundant than our royal meals, right?"
Yuan Qing Ling's heart made a great alarm. Could it be that the money that the emperor suspected of corruption from the concubine was subsidizing the Royal Palace of Chu
She shook her head slowly, "If we go back to the emperor, Chu Prince's Mansion is also very simple to eat. If there are only me and the fifth child, most of them are two dishes."
"Really?" Emperor Ming Yuan said indifferently, "I heard that the fifth old man was more extravagant in the past."
Yuan Qingling resolutely said: "It's not extravagant at all. It's autumn now. My fifth and I haven't made new clothes, nor have my baby."
"Why not? Is there a shortage of money?" Ming Yuan Emperor's voice was slightly questioning.
Yuan Qingling said: "There is no shortage, just enough to wear. The most important thing is the usefulness of silver."
"In that case, he is good at managing family finances. I am afraid I have accumulated a lot now, right? How many are there? Let's hear the number." When Emperor Ming Yuan asked this, he raised his head and stared sharply. she was.
When Yuan Qing Ling heard that this was a direct investigation of the family wealth, he had to tell the truth and explain the origin of the silver, otherwise he would have misunderstood that the silver greedy by the concubine was given to the Royal Palace of Chu.
Yuan Qingling put down his chopsticks and said: "If you go back to the emperor, if you don't count the arrears of the property and the outside, the approximate amount of silver on hand now is between two million taels."
After a pause, Yuan Qingling added another cautiously, "Probably this number."
After all, she did not calculate the exact number accurately, but it was probably so much. The fifth child should still have some in the bank. The deposit slip was put away by her and put it into the account room, and renting the college also spent a fortune in and out. It may not be able to match, but it is probably such a number.
When the Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked seriously, "There are still debts? Who do you borrow? How much? How much profit? You should know that although the dynasty can lend money, it is profitable. There is a limit on money, and if it exceeds the prescribed amount, it is illegal."
Yuan Qing lowered her head and said slowly: "Father, it's not a loan, it's you... the IOU you gave."
Emperor Ming Yuan was startled, and then he said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't that all the IOUs paid? When you ask to go back to your parents' house, you have already charged it up."
The No. 1 Lai of the Northern Tang Dynasty!
Yuan Qingling said helplessly: "Then there is no debt."
Concubine Hu looked at Emperor Ming Yuan, "The emperor, have you still drew an IOU?"
Emperor Ming Yuan scowled and said, "You are not allowed to talk while eating."
After eating a meal, the palace staff came in to collect the remnants, re-layed the tablecloths, placed the tea set, and the father-in-law Mu Ru personally made the tea.
Concubine Hu said: "The princess will try this Yunwu tea from Daxing."
The tea was fragrant, and Yuan Qingling took a sip and praised, "This is good tea."
Emperor Ming Yuan waited for her to drink a cup of tea, and then said to Concubine Hu: "You go back and rest, I have something to say with the princess."
"Okay!" Concubine Hu said obediently, Yuan Qingling stood up and sent her a blessing, and Concubine Hu walked away with a warm and happy smile on her face.
After Concubine Hu left, the Ming Yuan Emperor looked back, and Yuan Qing Ling immediately sat in danger, knowing that eating was a prelude, and now talking is the right thing, but I don't know what he is thinking, and I always feel that it is neither a question of crime nor a good intention.
Emperor Ming Yuan slowly said, "Your mother-in-law's matter, did you tell you the fifth, right?"
