My money-loving little lady

After there was no movement outside, Princess Lu's expression gradually became irritable, and she felt a headache coming over her that made her a little unsteady. Seeing this, the nun beside her quickly stepped forward to support her, "My dear! You have to pay attention to yourself.

!"

Hearing what her grandma said, she couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, forced herself to sit down and said, "Haha, pay attention to yourself, what's the use of paying attention? Can I still have another son? Can I regain my youth and get back together with His Highness?"

?"

"Empress, you are still young, there will always be a legitimate son."

"What I am upset about now is not the children's matters..."

"My dear, are you doing it because of me?"

"Do you think my father will let my father go..."

"Yes, of course I will. Your Majesty will definitely forgive me for having made so many contributions."

Hearing the consoling answer that everyone said, Princess Lu only felt more irritated and covered her head with her hands. "Two days ago, my mother asked someone to send a message, saying that the last time my brother occupied Hubei private land, someone reported it to my father.

On the emperor's side, his father was furious and sent Qi Guogong to investigate the case. His younger brother was dismissed from his position as head of the household department and warehouse. His father was also affected by the incident and was suspended without pay and demoted to stay at home. As many as seventeen people in the family were involved in the case.

I don’t know what will happen next.”

Thinking of this, she just felt tired, "I won't go to the palace banquet hosted by my mother tomorrow. You can go and inform me and say that as a sinner, I am reflecting behind closed doors. I don't dare to meet Your Majesty, and I am ashamed of the divine grace."

”

"Yes, empress."

"Go ahead, leave me alone for a while." She waved her hand and staggered towards the bed.

Here, Jing Rongyao just brought her mother to the house for a chat. Jing Rongyao and Fu Ronghua talked about recent events, which made the old mother a little worried about her current situation. Fu Ronghua poured a glass of milk for her and sighed.

He took a breath. "I thought that your situation would be better after His Majesty named you a titled lady, but this is normal. Nowadays, the government is in turmoil, and the outside world relies on your husband's little information to support it. Speaking of which, it is also true.

It’s funny that no general in this huge country is willing to lead troops on the battlefield, and in the end he squeezed out the top scorer in the literary test."

"Mom, didn't you tell me before that he would definitely be able to lead the troops and fight a victorious battle? Why do you have no confidence now?" Jing Rongyao saw her worried look and pretended to be fine.

Comfort her.

"You're such a stupid girl. If your husband accidentally dies in the Northern Desert, your mother can save your life, but she can't protect others from spreading rumors. Do you know how miserable it is for a woman to be said to be the Widow of Croft?

?" Seeing her look like this, Fu Ronghua showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel. He raised the book in his hand and hit her on the head hard.

"Ugh...it hurts so much, mother!" Jing Rongyao pouted and shouted in pain, then stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course I know it's not good to be a widow, but I don't know how to do martial arts.

, there is no way to go to the battlefield for him. In this case, we can only resign ourselves to fate. He is fighting outside, and I am handling family affairs in the capital. Mother, you are smart, and you must have discovered something is wrong with the court situation recently. In the past, King Ling and King Yu fought with each other, and occasionally

It's normal for you to argue with me, but no matter how fierce the quarrel between them is, it will not damage the foundation of the DPRK. But lately I always feel that something is not right." Jing Rongyao frowned, she always felt that lately

I feel that the atmosphere in the palace is weird, and the words that are coming out are not like before. It seems that the content of what is said inside and outside is like, this big job is almost over, everyone should run away. And there have been some rumors in the capital recently.

The discordant sound caused the shops on the street to make a lot less money. This made Jing Rongyao feel something strange.

Hearing what his daughter said, Fu Ronghua also fell into deep thought. After a moment, Fu Ronghua raised his head and said, "Actually, I feel what you said, but I still don't know who spread this rumor.

, Since you think there is a problem, Yaoer, I will go back to the palace immediately to check for you and find out what the reason is."

"Thank you, mother." Jing Rongyao smiled and nodded. One of the best things about Fu Ronghua is that he is very reasonable and trusts himself. This saves her a lot of trouble.

"Mom, I have to go out. When you return to the palace, be careful not to let anyone see your flaws." Jing Rongyao warned her again and again. Fu Ronghua also became serious about this and nodded repeatedly. She glanced at the person behind her.

Mammy, she opened the door and left with a solemn expression.

And here, after seeing off Fu Ronghua, Jing Rongyao was also ready to go out and have a look. In fact, her intuition was not unreasonable. Walking on the street, the stalls nearby used to be filled with hawking sounds, and it was very lively.

But now when I walk there, not only are there no people around, but most of the stalls are gone.

"Hey? Why are there so few people on the street? Something's wrong. It's the Flower Festival these two days. Why are there only so many people?" Looking at the scattered crowds on the street, Yun Xi beside him also showed doubts.

expression.

"Let's go and have a look at the shop." Jing Rongyao said with a solemn expression.

"Okay miss."

The two masters and servants quickly arrived at the place where they usually store their shop. Perhaps because this place is a prosperous street, it seems that the popularity here is much better than that street just now, but even so, the people here are better than usual.

Much less.

At this time, Aunt Wang, who sells pancakes, was preparing to close her stall. When she saw the master and servant coming, she quickly greeted them and signaled them to come over.

"It's just a good time. I'm about to close the stall. I still have some fresh dough that is useless. It would be a waste to throw it away. I will make two beef cakes for Madam and Miss Yun to eat. Of course, it is free of charge!" This enthusiasm

The look made Jing Rongyao shake her head repeatedly and said, "Mother Wang, you have worked hard all day, how can I eat your cake for free? In this way, the maid and I just have nothing to do, so we will wait at your stall for a while.

Yes, you can sell it to me at the original price." As she said that, she took off the purse containing money from her waist, took out four copper coins and placed them on the pancake stall. Seeing that she couldn't resist, Aunt Wang could only shake her head and said with a smile,

"Okay, okay, I can't defeat Madam, then you guys sit over here."

As she spoke, she took out a clean linen cloth and wiped the small wooden table behind her clean. The two sat down with a smile and started chatting.

"Auntie, I remember that you didn't close the stall at this time in the past. Why did you close the stall so early today? Do you want to go back and play cards?"

"Oh, where do I have this free time? Madam, you can also see that the business on the street is much worse than usual now. I can earn some rent in this day, and if I have any stuttering left, thank God. Thank you, too.

You are kind-hearted, and unlike other shop owners, you do not charge more rent, otherwise we, ordinary people, will not be able to do business!" As she said this, Aunt Wang sighed with emotion while skillfully pouring the oil on the stall.

"As expected." Jing Rongyao understood in her heart, but she still said without changing her expression, "Oh, that's terrible. In fact, I also saw something wrong when I was walking around, but you also know, We little ladies usually don’t have much to do. We just rely on collecting rent from these small shops to make some money, so when I go out to collect rent, I mostly ask my maid to come over. But according to you, the business Isn't it getting worse and worse, then...how can the people in this city still do business? Aunt Wang, do you know the reason? If you know, tell me, I'll do it too Get out of the way."

Hearing what Jing Rongyao said, Aunt Wang felt sympathy. Perhaps she felt that Jing Rongyao was different from other official wives and was more down-to-earth. She wanted to say anything she wanted to say, so she looked back and forth. Around, and then frying pancakes and whispering.

"Madam, I'm telling you, save some money and run away quickly, the capital city is about to be ruined!"
