Liu Tong said goodbye from the palace of the concubine, and the concubines who were waiting in the side hall hurriedly greeted him and asked him how he was.

Liu Tong smiled and nodded, "The concubine has already promised to help." ”

The concubine called out "Amitabha", and asked curiously: "What did you say to the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine promised to help you?" ”

Liu Tong smiled silently.

Concubine Xian, like King Rui, is not a very curious person, seeing that Liu Tong didn't mean to say, she didn't ask much, but said: "Since the concubine is willing to help you, then you can go back and wait for the news." I'm going to say hello to the concubine. ”

Liu Tong responded, gave a salute to the concubine, and left the palace with a relaxed expression, and after returning home, he began to let Hua Ze Huahao Zhang Luo start the dowry and other things.

It's just that when it was his turn to count the warehouse, looking at the things in the account book, Liu Tong could only sigh lightly.

He has not been favored since he was a child, and he has no mother's support, and his only savings are the annual prince's worship that he has accumulated, and Tai Ban was also used by him to help the people of the Western Regions.

When he became an adult, he could have done things in the court, grabbed some power, and used it to make money - although it was not good to be as black-hearted as the prince, but it was okay to deduct a little.

But as soon as the prince came, he was on guard, and he couldn't get involved in the errand of oil and water; Second, if he wants to loot the people's taxes, he really can't do it.

In addition to that, he also has to raise the entire Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion.

The income is always fixed, but the expenditure is not accurate.

He, the prince, deserves to be really aggrieved.

"Master ......" Hua Ze said softly in embarrassment: "The first time I married the princess, it was undertaken by the Ministry of Rites in the palace, and the private treasury in our house didn't cost anything." I don't know what the Ministry of Rites will plan this time. ”

Liu Tong nodded: "No matter what the Ministry of Rites plans, we should be ready, and we will all be ready." After all, you can't wronged the princess. ”

Hua Ze agreed, and said with a smile: "Lord is really good to the future princess." ”

Liu Tong smiled, coughed, thought about it and said, "Speaking of which, I was reckless in this matter, and I didn't say anything to her, for fear that she would be unhappy." ”

Hua Ze suddenly said: "How come? How much effort did the master spend in order to marry Chang San's girl? I also went to the palace in person to ask the concubine for help. If the little one is Chang San, I'm afraid she will die to her master. ”

Liu Tong loved to hear this, laughed a few times and returned to reality: "Runzhi's temperament is not like this......"

He thought for a while and said, "No, I'd better ask Runzhi to come out and talk to her, lest she complain about me." ”

Although Hua Ze felt that his master was thinking too much, he naturally wouldn't say it. Liu Tong wanted to make an appointment with Chang Runzhi, so Hua Ze ran errands to send him a letter.

Liu Tong was worried here, afraid that Chang Runzhi would blame him, and the concubine over there was also worried.

Liu Tong threw the problem to her, and it was impossible for her not to solve it. If Liu Tong is really asked to shake out the matter of the Mo family's marriage to the daughter, her face in front of Her Majesty will be gone.

But the concubine was really worried, even if she persuaded Emperor Yuanwu, Emperor Yuanwu would not agree to Liu Tong's family matter.

It doesn't make sense to know it, and the only way is to move it with emotion.

The concubine thought about it for two days and finished the draft, and then took advantage of the fact that Emperor Wu of Japan came to her palace to rest for the night, and mentioned the royal grandchildren of several princes' families in a gossipy, and by the way, she threw out Liu Tong's family affairs.

"The Ninth Emperor is almost twenty-two, and the princess he married in the first two years is gone, and he is not in a hurry. Seeing that even the Twelfth Prince has a son, and the Ninth Prince has no heir, His Majesty is not in a hurry? ”

Emperor Yuanwu was wearing a bright yellow silk shirt, lying on the bed and said, "If you don't say it, I didn't expect this stubble to come." ”

The concubine complained: "They are all sons, and Your Majesty has neglected the Nine Emperor Princes too much." ”

Emperor Yuanwu smiled and said, "Who let that child not be intimate with me, and his mother died so strangely?" I also felt evil when I looked at him, especially his eyes, which were blue and blue, looking evil. ”

When it came to the interracial ancestry of Yu Guiren and Liu Tong, the concubine couldn't say anything, so she could only change the topic and say: "That concubine mentioned this stubble now, what does Your Majesty think about the marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

Emperor Yuanwu thought for a while, and said: "I am not familiar with those daughters of the family and the daughters of the official family. You mentioned Xiao Jiu's marriage today, but who do you fancy and plan to ration Xiao Jiu? ”

The concubine smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty may as well guess?" ”

"I also started a dumb riddle with me. You say it bluntly, if it is suitable for Xiao Jiu, then decide. Xiao Jiu is not young anymore, and it is not good to have an heir yet. ”

Emperor Yuanwu looked at the concubine, and the concubine said: "It's not that the concubine has taken a fancy to someone, but the Nine Emperors came to the concubine to ask for a marriage to someone." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yuanwu was quite surprised: "Which girl is it?" ”

The concubine concisely said Chang Runzhi's situation.

Emperor Yuanwu immediately turned into a tiger after hearing this, and scolded the concubine: "Xiao Jiu is confused, and you are also confused?" The Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion is okay to say, it is not for nothing that his daughter is a daughter-in-law for the royal family, isn't the little five family from the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion? But this is a concubine and a divorce, how can she give it to Xiao Jiu? You still came to me to intercede with him? ”

The concubine suddenly sat up from the bed aggrievedly, wearing a bright red undershirt that lined her skin like snow.

"Didn't Your Majesty think like this in your heart? I can't stand the likes of the Nine Emperors! He knew that His Majesty would definitely not agree to this marriage, so he begged the concubine to come to him, so he knelt down in front of the concubine. ”

The concubine pretended to wipe away her tears and said: "None of the princes and princesses of Your Majesty crawled out of the belly of the concubines, but the concubines all treat them as their own children, and they are reluctant to be wronged." The Nine Emperors have not been close to people since they were children, and they are just as respectful and alienated to their concubines, so they are closer to the concubines and the five princes. Now that he has met the person he wants to marry, but he begged the concubine, the concubine, to come to him, can the concubine not help him? ”

Emperor Yuanwu was very embarrassed by the crying of the concubine, and softly persuaded her: "You are too careful, I don't blame you." But, but how can such a woman match Xiao Jiu......"

"His Majesty still has a dislike for the Nine Emperor Princes in his words, and he hurts the Nine Emperor Princes again at this time." The concubine burst into tears and laughed, sighed lightly, and said quietly: "According to the concubine, there is nothing unworthy." The Nine Emperors themselves said that he is a widower and has a reputation as a wife, so how can he have a position to pick others. ”

The concubine said softly: "The concubine thinks that the Nine Emperor Princes like that Chang family cares about him." ”

Emperor Yuanwu was in a trance because of these words.

The concubine said softly: "The Nine Emperor Princes have been ignored since he was a child, and it is not easy to meet a person who cares about him and makes him feel happy and warm when he thinks about it, so naturally he wants to keep such a person by his side forever." The concubine actually understands his mentality. ”

The concubine slowly looked at Emperor Dingyuan Wu and sighed for a long time: "He is like this...... Let the concubines remember when the queen was still alive. At that time, His Majesty talked about the queen, and the expression of the Nine Emperor Princes when they mentioned the Chang clan before the concubine was exactly the same......"
