When the imperial concubine thought about it, she felt that the delicate niece in front of her was not simple, she couldn't make up her mind, and she couldn't give up the things she couldn't give up, she actually gave it up so lightly, and she gave it up so lightly.

Bai actually agreed with her daughter's words in her heart, when she discussed this matter with her husband Chen Yuanheng before, she also thought about it, how can a girl's family take the interests of Shanghai City for a lifetime? In the future, it is best to find a time to return this benefit to the royal family. But I didn't expect it to be returned so soon. Bai's heart is also very pleased, it turns out that his daughter is so decisive, she has really grown up, and she is very good at seeking benefits and avoiding disasters. But after thinking about it, the smart Bai family thought of the two percent of the benefits in Princess Lichuan's hands. The two percent of the benefits are shared by the imperial concubine, her daughter, and her son-in-law, otherwise, how did the imperial concubine get the money to support her to sprinkle her connections in the palace and contact the ministers in the court? Is the imperial concubine willing to take these two percent? Thinking of the imperial concubine, the Bai family also thought of his own home. His family got a hundred percent of the benefits from the Chen family. This benefit is bought with real money. It can be said that in this investment in Shanghai City, his family contributed the most money, and his family paid a full three million taels of silver at the beginning. In this way, the Chen family was able to benefit their own family. Now, this capital has long since returned. But how little is the benefit? It's just a million or so benefits, it's really pitiful. Three million investment, more than three years, almost four years, only to get a million benefits. But after thinking about it, I can't say that, I still earn it at home. Because of their own family because of sea trade. But I got Xinguang City. Although Xinguang City's current interests are also distributed in this way. However, the emperor gave the management of Shinguang City to his own family. Moreover, Xinguang City is not the interests of their own family, in the future, the interests of Nanyang, the emperor also gave them their family, so it may be in this investment. Your own family gets the most. Well, it seems that I want to go back and discuss with my husband, whether I should also learn from my daughter and give up this benefit, and when the emperor is happy, he can exchange for more benefits.

The Bai family secretly made up her mind in her heart, but the imperial concubine was still hesitant and asked Chen Wenhui: "Wenhui, what you said is very reasonable." So to speak. I thought of your Lichuan cousin's 20% interest. What do you think? ”

Chen Wenhui was silent for a moment and did not answer.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Of course." This is an internal matter of our royal family, but your cousin Lichuan is your own cousin, aunt and cousin, and they are connected by blood, so if you have any ideas, you should talk to your aunt. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Wenhui couldn't be silent, so she said: "Auntie, in fact, I have a shallow opinion, and Cousin Lichuan and I are in a different situation. Cousin Lichuan is the emperor's biological daughter, and she is currently the only daughter, love is like jewelry, not to mention the interests of a city, that is, he gave the whole city to Cousin Lichuan, I think the emperor is also willing. If Lichuan's cousin was a prince, the emperor would definitely entrust her with all the country, where would she care about a city. ”

The imperial concubine who said this was very happy, this is the truth, everyone in the world knows how much the emperor loves this only daughter. Even the emperor's favorite third prince, King Qi, could not be compared with his own daughter.

Of the emperor's current children, his daughter is the eldest, and the emperor likes it the most. Then there is the former crown prince, who was born by the queen of the deposed queen, and has always been rejected by the emperor. The second prince, King Zhou, his biological mother has always been unfavored, and King Zhou has no talent, but he is very proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he has never been liked by the emperor. The third prince, King Qi, was born by Wan Guifei, but he was pinned on by the emperor, but since the disaster, the emperor of the three princes was very disappointed. The fourth prince is the king of Jin, he has been ignored by the emperor since he was a child, and now he has grown up, he has been crowned king, he has done many things, and he has made a lot of contributions, and the emperor treats him mediocre. As for the five princes, because of their young age, they are not valued by the emperor. In this way, it is really his daughter who is the most favored, if his daughter is a prince, the emperor will definitely pass on the throne to her, so Chen Wenhui's compliments are also reasonable.

Chen Wenhui continued: "However, the emperor is the cousin's own father, but the emperor who will succeed to the throne in the future is not born to the same mother as Cousin Lichuan. ”

The smile on the imperial concubine's face disappeared suddenly, and this sentence was in the imperial concubine's mind. Bai Shi hurriedly said, "Hui'er, you can't talk nonsense. ”

The imperial concubine stopped Bai's words and said, "It's okay, Wen Hui said such things to me from the bottom of her heart." Those people compliment us all day long, but when it really comes to the critical moment, can we still find someone? The real dearest ones are us. Although Lichuan and I have a lofty status and unlimited scenery, but brother and sister, you know, since ancient times, the heavenly family has been a ruthless family, where is there real brotherhood, sister and brother affection, some are interests, they are all thrones, and they are all in the country. Affection is what the royal family lacks. What about our Chen family? Brother and sister, you know, my two younger brothers have no talent, and they can't be counted on, and our mother and son can only rely on you in the court of Dachu. Listen to what Wen Hui has to say. ”

Bai was also very moved when he heard the imperial concubine's heartfelt words, so he didn't stop his daughter and listened quietly. Chen Wenhui said: "Auntie, Cousin Lichuan is of noble birth and has the blood of the royal family and my Chen family, but the more you are jealous because of this. Fortunately, my cousin is a daughter, and she hasn't been calculated, if she is really a prince, then I really don't know. ”

The imperial concubine smiled sadly and said, "Good boy, can my aunt not know?" The abolished prince is also a collection of royal and royal bloodlines, noble blood, or was he born to the queen? So what? Isn't it abolished and imprisoned? Don't say this, don't I have a prince myself? Why can't you keep it, the difficulties of the deep palace, it seems that Wen Hui still understands. ”

Chen Wenhui thought to herself, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Those court bloody dramas in the previous life were not watched in vain. Chen Wenhui thought in her heart, but said: "Auntie, even if Cousin Lichuan is a daughter and a princess, she will not be involved in the battle for the storage position, but it does not mean safety." After all, Lichuan's cousin has married the Xu family, and the Xu family has military power. Lichuan's cousin gave birth to children for the Xu family, and in the future, the children of the Xu family will also have royal blood, can they not be jealous? Isn't our Great Chu Dynasty just a relative who seized the country of the previous dynasty? What's more, now that Cousin Lichuan owns Shanghai City, what a huge benefit. This is the scourge of the future, right? Can the new emperor tolerate it? Rather than suffer in the future, it is better to take the money to eliminate the disaster, and give up the money in exchange for the stability of the whole life. ”

The imperial concubine nodded and said: "Hey, money is something outside the body, over the years, your cousin Lichuan is rich enough, richer than any prince, not only has the interests of Shanghai City, when he got married, the emperor gave a lot of dowry, and the Xu family is also a solid family, why do you want so much money?" It's better to take money to eliminate disasters. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Auntie, you can't take money for nothing, but also in exchange for certain benefits. ”

The imperial concubine was a little strange: "How to exchange for benefits?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Auntie, the Ma family is just the emperor's grandmother's brother's family, which is a decent servant of the royal family, and the emperor didn't let the Ma family take out that 10% of the shares for nothing, didn't he return the benefits to the Northwest prisoners of war, and the interests of the Northwest Trade in exchange?" That's not less than the annual income of Shanghai City, where is it? It's not bad enough for royal jealousy. I, a girl from the Chen family, took out the benefits of Yicheng, didn't the emperor give me the benefits of Nanyang? If my guess is correct, the emperor will not only give me the benefits of Nanyang, but should give me silver as compensation at the price. How could the emperor let me lose money? In addition to these, the emperor should also give us some other benefits. These are things that I can't predict, and I will probably know tomorrow's will. For me, a girl from the Chen family, can do this, how can he give less to his daughter? ”

The imperial concubine thought about it, and said: "Wen Hui, what you said is very reasonable, if Lichuan can give up the 20% benefits of Shanghai City, the emperor will definitely be very happy with his daughter's knowledge, at least the capital of the 200 taels of silver that belongs to Lichuan, the emperor will definitely give it to Lichuan." In this way, Lichuan will not lose money. Actually, Wen Hui, you know, at the beginning, Lichuan didn't take out a penny, and the capital was paid in advance by the treasury. It's just that later Shanghai City made money, and Lichuan returned the money obtained from the dividends to the state treasury. It can be said that Lichuan's two interests in Shanghai City are empty gloves and white wolves. Of course, Lichuan is also very loyal to her father, and in recent years, there has been a war in the northwest, and Lichuan and his wife are sitting in Shanghai City, and for the Northwest Army, how much grain and grass have been raised from overseas. If it weren't for the grain obtained by the sea trade, where would the Northwest Army be able to achieve such a big victory, and where would it be able to defeat the barbarians? The princesses of Da Chu, although they are all rich in marriage and very wealthy, but even if Lichuan only has one million taels of silver, they are already the richest princesses in Da Chu, let alone two million taels of silver? Moreover, in the past few years, Lichuan has received more dividends than two hundred taels of silver from the share of Shanghai City, and he has long been the richest person in the Great Chu royal family. It's time to be content. It's just that, Wen Hui, you said that the emperor will be benefited by other interests, so what benefits are we looking for? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, but this whole world refers to the land of Great Chu, as an emperor, no matter what, you must maintain the integrity of the land." However, the land of other countries, the emperor will not feel distressed when he rewards him. For example, the emperor gave me the city of Nanyang, which is a city that has not yet been built, and there is no shadow yet. Also, Nanyang is not the territory of Great Chu, and the emperor is very generous. (To be continued......)
