Perhaps because he knew Qu Ning's calm attitude as if it was almost "none of his business", the emperor finally stopped cutting off her information from the outside world - the daily newspaper continued to be sent to Shoukang Palace on time and on time.

On the third day, when she got the newspaper that still smelled of ink as usual, Qu Ning glanced at it very casually, but she almost choked herself to death - she couldn't help but shout in her heart: I'm not mistaken, right?

Front-page headlines.

Tang Shaoshuai made a big fuss in the Congress, and he was angry at the crown.

glanced at it, but Qu Ning pursed her lips: This report, if it was placed in her previous life, it could probably only be put into "entertainment news", the front page headlines or something, absolutely impossible. After all, there are too distinct personal feelings in the article, Qu Ning only glanced at it, and couldn't help but look at Zuihou - who is the author of this article?

Three words at the bottom: Le Fu Wen.

Sure enough, it was a woman. The corners of Qu Ning's lips curved slightly: Sure enough, only a woman would talk about this matter in such a tone of "envy, jealousy and hatred". said that Tang Shaoshuai was "angry at the crown and became a red face", begging for a dowry for her fiancée, and she could almost smell the vinegar between the lines. The malice in this report that compares her to Bao Daji has not been hidden from her eyes.

The smile on the corner of her mouth has not faded, her sister-in-law, that is, the queen who is being married by the emperor Mingmei, Lu Qingyan has already entered the door.

Seeing her reading the newspaper at a glance, Lu Qingyan frowned almost instantly: "Third sister, the newspapers are all half-truths and half-truths, and they are grandstanding." Just look at it, don't take it to heart. ”

Qu Ning took a sip of tea, the smile on the corner of her mouth loomed, and the smile was genuine and undisguised: "What should I do, sister-in-law, I really went to my heart." ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingyan was taken aback, she hurriedly frowned and persuaded, "Miss Le, who wrote this report, is said to have been baptized together with Tang Shaoshuai before, but no matter what, the person Tang Shaoshuai wants to marry is you." Now that Tang Shaoshuai has won so much dowry for you, at least your status will be guaranteed when you marry. Sister, and open your mind, as long as you sit firmly in the position of the big room, you can just turn a blind eye to the others. ”

Qu Ning glanced at her sister-in-law with some confusion.

Halfway through, she shook her head and laughed.

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, I was talking about the young marshal coming out for me, and I remembered it in my heart. As for the previous affairs between Miss Le and Tang Shaoshuai, if you don't tell me, I don't know at all. Qu Ning paused and smiled, "I am very grateful to him for personally standing up for me, as for the relationship between Young Marshal Tang and this Miss Le, is it very important?" ”

Tang was willing to stand up for her personally, and she was flattered.

When she talked to the emperor about the Feng family the day before yesterday, she estimated that she would definitely be able to go out with a lot of dowry. After all, if you think that the Feng family has made a move, then whether the marriage can be completed or not is no longer the □ of the children, but has become a political consideration, and it has also become a matter of men's face.

But what she didn't expect was that Tang Shaoshuai actually went out in person to win national rights for her.

The newspaper said that Tang Shaoshuai was angry at the crown, but in those facts that could not be distorted, she saw the strategy adopted by Tang Zhong: the man did not resort to the simplest way of solving the problem by force, but fought on the basis of reason, and classified her as a member of the people.

The Q&A in the middle is quite interesting.

"Is there a provision in the constitution that says that the princess is not a citizen?"

“…… The princess is, of course, a national. ”

"Shouldn't the property rights of the people be protected?"

"Yes, but those possessions are ill-gotten gains......"

"Councilor Cui, I remember that your family has a three-room wife, hundreds of acres of land, can you explain the origin of every property in your family one by one? If I'm not mistaken, Councilor Cui also gave you a golden phoenix nodding hairpin yesterday, Councilor Cui might as well explain, how much is this hairpin worth, where did you get the money to buy it? The monthly salary of the councillor is only 20 yuan a month, but this hairpin costs thousands of oceans! ”

Dumbfounded.

Tang Shaoshuai did not stop there, he didn't talk much on weekdays, and he pressed step by step: "Why don't we blame other citizens for the past, but we can't be lenient with a little woman?" Is it because she will be my wife? ”

“…… Can't. ”

"My wife of someone Tang, isn't it as good as your wife?"

...... "Who dares to say that it's better to pinch the gun you are holding is an ornament?"

Of course, the parliamentarians refused to stop there, even if they were frightened by Tang Zhong's words, they always had to give an explanation to the Feng family.

So Zuihou went back and forth, setting the dowry of the third princess Qu Ning at the time of marriage at one hundred and twenty lifts. Of course, among these 120 units, there must be no contraband of all kinds.

This tug-of-war conversation was honestly recorded, and Qu Ning was very satisfied with this.

She was very pleased to find that in the eyes of Tang Shaoshuai, she was no longer the spokesperson of the decadent era, on the contrary, in his eyes, she was also a member of the ordinary people! If this is his real opinion, then isn't it possible for her to look forward to her married life a little?

For the first eighteen years of her life, she existed as a symbol of a princess.

To be an ordinary citizen, perhaps...... Happier than being a princess.

Seeing the sparkle in her sister-in-law's eyes, the queen almost thought that she had seen it wrong-the sister-in-law has always been an indifferent and indisputable character, and now it seems like tears? She must have been dazzled.

"Sister, sister?" Lu Qingyan couldn't help but call her twice.

Qu Ning was shocked, tilted his face, and bent the corners of his lips: "By the way, sister-in-law, how can you have time to come to me today?" ”

You can't say you're worried about me, are you?

The queen saw that her face had regained her demure and gentleness, and she suspected that she was really dazzled before, so she didn't mention it anymore, took out the list from her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Third sister, since the young marshal has won a dowry of one hundred and twenty for you, then we naturally have to do a big job, and we must not let my sister lose her identity." This dowry list, sister-in-law will discuss with you. ”

Qu Ning's eyebrows were slightly slightly frowned.

The royal family is now left with an empty shelf - nothing but a name, nothing but appearance.

The taxes of the people have long ceased to be paid to the palace, and the internal funds are just enough for the expenses of the royal family, which is itself stretched, one hundred and twenty units...... It's hard to fill up, right? The dowry she herself wants to fight for is not silver or gold, nor does it have to be real money.

Qu Ning thought to herself, but quietly took the list - just one glance, she understood what was going on.

She gently put the list on the table, pushed it gently, and shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I can't ask for these things." ”

The queen was suddenly anxious: "Weishenme? ”

Qu Ning's eyes sank: "It's too heavy, I can't afford it." ”
