After scaring the two little girls away, the smile on Liu Yue’s face disappeared in an instant.
It was a clear and crisp autumn day. The bright sunlight shone obliquely into the house, filling it with golden light. However, Liuyue's heart was not bright at all.
Ever since the man surnamed Song became the Minister of Works, his brother-in-law's newly opened canal operation has taken away about 30% of the canal gang's business in the past six months. He also poached several stable big customers and took away several medium-sized customers. He is so angry that his chest hurts!
Are you a prince who needs money? The whole of Daliang will be yours in the future. Why do you have to fight with the Cao Gang for this hard-earned money
I heard that the prince is planning to launch some new policies and is leading the construction of a canal in the middle and lower reaches of the river, but the Cao Gang has not opposed him. Why can't he tolerate the Cao Gang
Liu Yue squatted, lay down, and changed many postures on the roof of the East Palace but still couldn't figure out the answer. The moon was dark, the wind was strong, and the night was bleak. Where had the prince gone and why hadn't he come back yet
It's so cold for me, Liuyue, to be on this roof in the wind!
After forcibly holding back his fifth sneeze, Liu Yue finally saw the light of the wind lantern on the corridor outside the palace moving towards them, and he was overjoyed.
I saw several palace servants escorting a person into the gate of the East Palace. The eunuchs and palace maids along the way all bowed to him. It seemed that this was undoubtedly the prince, who had finally returned.
Seeing the direction from which the prince entered the room, Liu Yue quietly lifted a tile, but what she saw stunned her for a moment.
Although the house was not as simple as a snow cave, it was not as grand as the prince's as imagined. Liu Yue just went to the wrong place and walked into a concubine's residence. The furnishings and decoration were magnificent and elegant, like the royal family.
Could it be that the emperor didn't like the prince and withheld his salary? Well, it's possible. The emperor only had this one son, and if he didn't make him the prince, there would be no one else to make. But he didn't like him, so he withheld his money. That must be the case!
But just because you are poor, can you come and rob the money of our Cao Gang? We earn our money ourselves, not from the wind!
"Xiao Luzi, in the past six months, we have reduced the business of the Cao Gang by several percent. I hope that the new policy can be implemented smoothly. The Cao Gang must be dealt with. They have a big appetite and an ugly appearance when eating. And their leader is like that, humph!"
The man surnamed Song sat down and read for a long time. When Liu Yue was about to get impatient, a deep and pleasant male voice sounded.
Before Liu Yue had time to appreciate the sound, she was immediately furious. Damn it, what happened to my aunt? If she wasn't afraid that there would be too many guards in the palace and she couldn't beat them, she would definitely go down and beat the lousy prince to pieces!
"I don't understand these. Your Highness is naturally wise in his actions." The eunuch who was serving him just laughed but did not respond to the prince's words.
"Let me take care of you and let you have some rest. After finishing the work of the Ministry of Works, you stayed with the Emperor in the Imperial Study for half a night. You must be tired." As he spoke, he quickly extinguished the small candle in the room.
The prince put down the book in his hand, and scolded with a smile, "You sly fellow, are you afraid that I will blame you for your nonsense?" But in action, he had already washed up and lay down on the bed, "Xiao Luzi, come and massage my head, I am really tired."
Liu Yue immediately opened her eyes wide and wanted to see what the prince looked like. Just now, that guy had been standing there and she couldn't see his face, so now she finally had the chance.
He has a nice figure and a nice voice, but I don't know what he looks like. As for the nonsense he just said, well, I'll talk to him about it when I get a chance!
