Chapter 441: Account Book
Regarding the fact that the second prince might admire Princess Duanmin, although Chu Bei didn't believe it, Qingyun always felt that her guess was true.
The two were at a stalemate, and finally Qingyun showed a killer feature, "King Ning was not Concubine Ning's biological son at the beginning, who noticed that something was wrong?" β
Her tone was soft, her eyes were clear, and she had a confident demeanor.
Chu Bei was speechless at that time.
At the beginning, it was possible to find out that Concubine Ning and Xingguo Wolf Bèi were adulterous, and it all relied on Qingyun's bold guess.
Chu Bei was defeated, and he said, "When I return to the house in a while, I will let the dark guard go to the Northern Jin Dynasty to find the emperor's brother." β
It's naturally good to be able to find the emperor's brother, if you can't find it, the Northern Jin Dynasty will not run in vain, King Ning is still held hostage by the Northern Jin Dynasty, go to some secret guards, and have more hope.
Out of the second prince's bedroom, Chu Bei asked the maid to lead Qingyun to Changxin Palace to greet the queen, and he went to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor was wiping his armor.
Qin Tianjian stood below and respectfully announced, "Your Majesty, the ministers and other luminous stars, calculated that five days later will be a good day for the point to go on the expedition, and the emperor will definitely be able to return with a great victory." β
When the emperor heard this, he paused with his hand rubbing his armor and said, "Five days? β
Qin Tianjian held his breath, they knew that the emperor liked to fight, and they were worried about whether it was too late for five days, so they listened to the emperor, "It's a little late." β
Qin Tianjian hurriedly said, "Actually, three days later will also be a good day, but it is a little hasty. β
The emperor hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "The military situation is urgent, how can you grind." β
Qin Tianjian repeatedly said yes.
The emperor turned around and ordered, "Order, and in three days, I will lead the army to the battle." β
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Bei walking in, his face was a little uneasy, the emperor coughed lightly, his eyes flashed a little, and said, "You don't watch the folds in the mansion, why did you enter the palace?" β
The emperor is a little weak-hearted.
Originally, Chubei was supposed to lead the troops to the battle, but he was stopped, he had not been on the battlefield for twenty years, and since he recalled the Dragon Tiger Guard, he flew to the battlefield with one heart.
Their father and son are similar, he wants to go to the battlefield, and so does his son.
Now, when they see each other, one has a grumbling look in his eyes, and the other is ashamed.
Qin Tianjian was very discerning, and when he saw Chu Bei coming in, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to do, and the minister will retire first." β
The emperor nodded his head, and Qin Tianjian retreated suddenly.
When he left, Chu Beifang raised his hand, revealing the bruised whip marks on the back of his hand.
When the emperor saw it, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he smiled, "Qingyun hit?" β
Chu Bei, "....... β
No wonder the emperor thinks so, Chubei is now the king of Chen, as long as he is willing, the position of the crown prince will already be his, who dares to touch him with a cold hair?
If it was an assassin, someone would have already entered the palace to complain, and he would not wait for Chu Bei to come to complain.
was injured and came to sue, except for being bullied by his daughter-in-law, the emperor really couldn't think of any other explanation.
Chu Bei's face was black, and he didn't want to say anything to the emperor.
On the side, Grandpa Sun, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, he stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, twin sons ......." β
The emperor was stunned, raised his eyes suddenly, and said with hope, "Is there news of the second prince?" β
Chu Bei shook his head, "No, when I was eating in the morning, there was suddenly such a whip mark on the back of my hand, it should be that the imperial brother was beaten." β
Hearing that the second prince was beaten, Gonggong Sun mourned silently for that person, which is a big crime of the Nine Clans.
But the emperor was very happy.
Although his son was beaten, he should be very angry, but now they don't know whether the second prince is alive or dead, and he was whipped, so they know that he is still alive and can fight with people, which is good news.
Speaking of Qingyun, he was led by the maid to Changxin Palace.
Now, when Qingyun enters the palace, she doesn't need to pass it on, she can enter directly.
It's just that in the main hall, there is no figure of the queen.
Seeing Qingyun looking for it, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, the queen is in the inner hall, please come with the slave maid." β
Qingyun's face was slightly red, just heard the maid say that the queen was in the inner hall, she subconsciously thought that the queen hadn't gotten up yet, but she had heard that since the old story of Concubine Ning and Xingguo Gong was announced to the world, the emperor **** stayed in Changxin Palace, which is like before, only on the fifteenth day of the first day of the prescribed month to come to Changxin Palace.
The maid led the way, and Qingyun followed the maid towards the inner hall.
In the palace, the queen is doing embroidery work.
Seeing Qingyun coming, the queen put down the needle and thread in her hand, smiled on her face, and said with some disgust, "Why did you enter the palace, I just heard the maid say, you and Chen'er went to the Qishuang Palace?" β
Qingyun blessed the queen to say goodbye, but before she bent down, she was helped up by the queen.
Qingyun said with a smile, "Just after Xiang Gong had breakfast, suddenly there was a whip mark on the back of his hand, and Xiang Gong said that the second prince was whipped by someone, and the second prince kicked someone else's ....... β
Hearing Qingyun say this, the queen's eyes turned red.
No one knows the induction between twins better than her, if it weren't for the fact that Young Master Chu felt a pain in her wrist and found out that she had cut her wrist and rushed back in time, she would have died a long time ago.
Feeling the queen holding her hand tightly, Qingyun held her and said, "Xianggong will definitely do his best to find the second prince, don't worry about the queen mother." β
The queen quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Qingyun told Queen SΓΉ about this, because she wanted her to be happy, and she cried with joy.
Qingyun's eyes fell on the embroidery frame, the queen embroidered the battle flag, she saw it, and said with some exclamation, "The queen's needlework turned out to be so good." β
The queen's face was slightly reddened, and she said, "I will find the queen mother happy, and the queen mother is also worried that the emperor will lose his face if he goes out of Beijing with this battle flag." β
The queen has not touched the needle and thread for many years, the embroidery lady in the palace, the embroidery art is incomparable, and she is the queen, so she doesn't need to do it herself.
For so many years, she only made two clothes for the eldest prince and Princess Duanmin when they were young.
Now, the grievances of twenty years ago have been resolved, and she and the emperor seem to have returned to the past.
A few days ago, chatting about the emperor's personal expedition, the emperor recalled the year and said with a smile, "I still remember that back then, I went to the battlefield with King Ning, and you and Princess Ning made a set ......of clothes for us alone, but your eldest brother was jealous and secretly changed the clothes into small clothes, I didn't know it, and I was very happy to wear it." β
The love of the teenager is just beginning, let alone giving clothes, even sending a rag can be happy for half a month.
But later, he recognized that it was not the queen's needlework, and knew that it was a good thing done by Master Chu, so he almost couldn't help beating him up, and finally for the sake of his brother-in-law, he endured it.
Yes, he has known the queen for more than 20 years, and he has not received the needle and thread made by the queen, not even a purse.
Listening to the sour words of the emperor, the queen smiled, "Then I will make you a dress, and I don't know if I am in a hurry." β
The meaning of the emperor is exquisite, there must be no problem, the embroidery girl will take half a month to do, and the queen is afraid that it will be too late.
The emperor held her hand and said, "Make me a purse." β
The queen said, "Isn't this too easy?" β
The emperor smiled and said, "If you think it's easy, then embroider another battle flag, and I will take it to the expedition and return triumphantly with it." β
The queen agreed.
She has been embroidering this battle flag for several days.
Watching her embroider for several hours a day, the emperor regretted it again, and he was reluctant to let the queen suffer that hardship.
Hearing the queen's humility, Qingyun said, "Qingyun thought that her embroidery work was very good, and compared with the queen mother, she was almost unable to do it." β
The queen smiled when she heard this, her eyes fell to Qingyun's lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and said, "It's time to pick up the embroidery, and the queen mother will make a few sets of small clothes for her grandson." β
The two sat down and chatted, knowing that Qingyun had entered the palace, and the queen had already instructed the maid to go to the imperial study to bring sour plums.
Qingyun was eating while talking to the queen.
The conversation was all about Chu Bei's childhood.
Qingyun intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the second prince and Princess Duanmin, originally wanting to ask something, but it made the queen sad, "Duanmin, the queen mother owes her too much." β
Afraid that the queen would be sad, Qingyun quickly stopped the topic and did not dare to continue.
After chatting for a while, Qingyun retired.
Out of Changxin Palace, she went to Yongning Palace again.
Qingyun didn't expect that she would meet Zhao Shizi outside the Yongning Palace.
Seeing Qingyun, he hugged and smiled.
Qingyun nodded and smiled, and then asked, "Zhao Shizi sent the eldest princess into the palace?" β
Zhao Shizi shook his head and said, "The princess's shop is open, and the queen mother and several other noble ladies have made an appointment to go shopping, and it is estimated that they will not be able to enter the palace in the afternoon." β
These days, the eldest princess enters the palace almost every day to say good morning to the Queen Mother.
In this way, today is an exception, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will think too much, so he went to the palace to tell the Queen Mother.
Saying this, Qingyun is embarrassed.
Zhao Shizi smiled, and without delaying Qingyun to see the Queen Mother, he left.
Qingyun stepped into the main hall.
The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, holding a gift list in her hand, and looked carefully.
Seeing Qingyun coming in, she hurriedly beckoned, "Come here." β
The tone is kind, and there is a smile between the eyebrows.
Qingyun thought that last time she and the county lord Ruoyao came to greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's face was not half as good as it is now.
Qingyun subconsciously glanced at Mama Ji.
Mama Ji smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
King Ning was held hostage by the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the emperor and the eldest princess repeatedly gave gag orders to the maids and grandmothers of Yongning Palace, not allowing them to divulge half a word in front of the Queen Mother.
Yes, the Queen Mother did not know the news that King Ning was held hostage by the Northern Jin Dynasty.
The queen mother **** is looking forward to King Ning's return to the palace, and the four of them can reunite.
These days, the lord of Ruoyao enters the palace every other day, and the eldest princess enters the palace every day, and the queen mother is in a much better mood.
If you are in a good mood, your appetite is good, and your face will be better.
The Queen Mother asked her to come forward, but Qingyun did not say goodbye, and stepped forward to sit next to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother showed Qingyun the gift list.
Qingyun glanced at it twice, and said, "This is what the Queen Mother prepared for Zhao Shizi?" β
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "This is for you." β
Qingyun was surprised, "For me?" β
Why give her something, she hasn't done anything good lately?
The Queen Mother looked at Qingyun, her eyes were grateful, and she said, "Yesterday, the eldest princess inadvertently said that she leaked her mouth, and the mourning family knew that when the mourning family gave Zhao Shizi a marriage, she almost made a mistake in the mandarin duck score. β
Qingyun blushed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother doesn't blame Qingyun for lying, Qingyun is grateful." β
Seeing Qingyun's panic, the Queen Mother held her hand and said, "It's too late for the mourning family to thank you, how can I blame you?" β
If it weren't for Qingyun, she was afraid that she would be kept in the dark until she died.
Qingyun scratched her forehead, looked at the gift list, and smiled with a look of wealth.
She gave the gift list to Qingying to collect.
The Queen Mother asked her to help see if there was anything wrong with the congratulatory gifts prepared for the wedding of Zhao Shizi and Lord Linlang.
At this time, Qingyun knew that the big day of Zhao Shizi and Lord Linlang had been set, ten days later.
sat with the Queen Mother for a while, although the Queen Mother's complexion was much better, but she couldn't hold on for a while, and her eyes showed tiredness.
Qingyun helped her take a pulse, and then retired.
She came out of Yongning Palace.
After walking more than 100 steps, I happened to see Chubei coming.
Seeing Chu Bei, Qingyun smiled, "I knew you were coming, I should have stayed for a while." β
She knew that the Queen Mother wanted to see Chu Bei.
She knew that Chu Bei was here, just looking for her to go out of the palace together, not to see the Queen Mother.
Chu Bei didn't want to mention the Queen Mother, he said, "Don't you want to see the opening of the shop, I'll take you around." β
Qingyun became excited.
The two walked back together.
Behind him, he followed several fathers-in-law from afar, carrying several large boxes, all of which were rewarded to Qingyun by the Queen Mother.
Chu Bei took Qingyun on a detour, but the father-in-law didn't know it, so he followed him to the shop.
As a result, it was blocked on the street for half an hour.
Qingyun sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the crowd in front of her, a little dumbfounded.
"So many people?" She felt dazzled.
However, it is normal to have a large number of people.
In the past three days, when the shop has the greatest discount, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again.
Moreover, when your lady and everyone go out, they will bring several maids, and it is difficult for people to think about it too much.
Chu Bei looked into the distance and said with a smile, "Do you still want to go down?" β
Qingyun pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Chu Bei ordered Wei Chi to drive the carriage back to the palace.
Around the end of the evening, the secret guard sent a thick account book to Qingyun.
Qingyun looked at a few photos, and her brows furrowed.
There is a page that says 100,000 taels of King Ning's mansion.
The eldest princess's mansion is 100,000 taels, and the East Wang's mansion is 100,000 taels.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and when she turned to the last page, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Two and a half million taels?" β
The dark guard nodded again and again, "The princess is not mistaken, it is two and a half million taels." β
Qingyun gasped, "How can there be so many?" β
Chu Bei was also shocked.
He thought it would be nice to have a million taels on the first day.
Lu'er leaned up and said, "Two million and a half thousand taels is not too much, the princess doesn't know, the king of Yijun took the princess of the county to the shop, and at that time he threw down 100,000 taels, and ordered the steward to write his name first, so that the account book was sent to the emperor, and he knew that he added 100,000 taels to the treasury." β
Qingyun raised her forehead, "I didn't plan to show the account book to the emperor." β
The emperor didn't even look at the folds, could he read the account books?
Lu'er's eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
You must know that since the king of Dayi said this, those noble ladies who were still a little hesitant took out the money, and they didn't hesitate at all, and they all bought 20,000 taels when they originally bought 10,000 taels.
Buy 20,000 taels, buy 30,000 taels, pay for the one called a simply, and I am afraid that I will buy less, so I secretly asked the shop manager, Ming'er will buy it, can it be recorded in the account book.
This is because I was afraid of separation, so I bought 30,000 taels, and the emperor only saw 10,000 or 20,000.
The person in charge is also a human spirit, and immediately said with a smile, "Madame, don't worry, when you turn back the account book and send it to the emperor, it will not only be recounted, but also counted by the prince and the princess themselves." β
The ladies were excited.
Qingyun flipped through the account books, a little crying and laughing.
In a word, the business of the shop has doubled, and there is only him Yijun King.
It seems that Ming'er Shop will have an income of one million taels.
The things in the shop, which are her recipes, are very popular, she knows very well.
No one could resist such a temptation, and besides, she also planned to develop into jewelry.
These days, Mu Qingling has sent more than a dozen sets of jewelry drawings, and she can't find any flaws in each set.
Not only Mu Qingling can design jewelry, but the eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion is even more popular.
Qingyun has already been rushed to make it, and in about half a month, the jewelry will be able to be sold in the shop.
She felt that her opening this shop would cause many shops to plummet.
It can't be helped, because they paid first, and when they go back to get something, they will not blink.
Now, the shop is at a five-percent discount, and the discount is huge, plus the king of Yijun said that he would present the account book to the emperor, you must know that the money is used for war, and the more you buy, the greater your contribution to the court.
The ladies get benefits, and the ministers get the Sacred Heart, this is the best of both worlds, and those noble ladies don't hurry up to persuade their masters to take out their private money for their use?
Thinking about it, Qingyun sneezed again.
She rubbed the tip of her nose, and her eyes shone like glass.
"This time, you must have praised me."
It's just that...... Is it possible? (To be continued.) )
