The emperor was not as stern as his son, his delicate face was as delicate as the jade carving, and his voice was soothing, and he said three or five words before he gave the order to drive.

He turned sideways slightly, and could see Zhou Baolu who was sending him off beside the road, and Chen Xiqing, who was kneeling there and looking at the emperor curiously. and Shen Rongzhong, who was still quiet by his side.

After a while, Bu Yuan had arrived at the door of the imperial study, the emperor sat and did not move, the eldest eunuch Qin Xiaonian who accompanied him was a little drumming in his heart, if he was not a personal sperm, he would not be able to become the eunuch in charge of the palace in his thirties, and he served by the emperor's side every day, although he didn't know what was going on with the emperor, but it was definitely different from the past.

Qin Xiaonian secretly glanced at Commander Shen, but it was a pity that Shen Rongzhong's iceberg face all his life could not see why, Qin Xiaonian saw that the emperor was still sitting still, cold sweat came down, gritted his teeth, did not dare to come out, bowed and quietly retreated, the eunuchs who followed naturally did not have the kind of blindness, seeing that Chief Qin retreated, they all followed silently retreated.

At the door of the imperial study, only the motionless emperor and the commander remained.

It's just that Qin Xiaonian didn't retreat fast enough, and he vaguely heard half of the emperor's words: "It's like a ...... enough."

Then he couldn't hear it, and he was glad that he had retreated in time.

If you want to survive in this palace, it's really better to know less.

Qin Xiaonian waited quietly behind, and he didn't know what the emperor said to Commander Shen, and it didn't take long, but after three or five sentences, the emperor moved, and finally agreed to come down, Commander Shen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to serve the emperor, and Qin Xiaonian was also busy following.

The emperor pursed his thin lips, put his hand on Shen Rongzhong's wrist, and when he got closer, Qin Xiaonian realized that where was this help, the emperor's hand grabbed Shen Rongzhong's wrist tightly, and his own finger joints turned white.

Shen Rongzhong, who had lost money, was still unmoved, as if he didn't feel it.

Qin Xiaonian was terrified, desperately hanging his head to reduce his sense of existence, seeing the emperor walking all the way up the stairs, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly let go of Shen Rongzhong.

It was a very hard release, as if throwing something out.

It's just that from beginning to end, the expression on Commander Shen Rongzhong's face has not changed, and it is the same at this time, he still follows behind the emperor and follows him into the imperial study.

Qin Xiaonian felt that his back was wet.

Of course, Zhou Baolu and Chen Xiqing didn't know that Qin Xiaonian's careful liver was beating around, Chen Xiqing waited for the imperial chariot to pass, stood up and smiled at Zhou Baolu: "Ouch, the saint is better looking than the prince!" ”

Zhou Baolu stretched out his hand and twisted her: "What nonsense, talk about the saint in vain, and punish your sins." ”

Chen Xiqing's status is low, although it is not the first time to enter the palace, but it is the first time to see Tianyan, he looks a little excited and uncontrollable, and whispers with a smile: "I heard that men will become more and more like his father in the future, and the prince will be like this in the future, you are blessed!" ”

Zhou Baolu almost wanted to tear her mouth, she was still a boudoir lady before, maybe her little aunt was more restrained, but now she is getting more and more amazing. It's strange that she can talk to Xiao Dafu, she is simply a person all the way.

Chen Xiqing saw that Zhou Baolu ignored her, and knew that Xiaolu was a serious person, so she didn't say anything anymore, just laughed while thinking about it, it turned out that he looked like this!

After entering the East Palace, Zhou Baolu told her: "The prince saw the silver in the pressure box that my little aunt gave me, so she sent me to invite you in to talk, I don't know what the prince wants to do." ”

Chen Xiqing was a clever one, and said with a smile: "I guess it's not just the prince, it's you, you must also wonder where I got so much silver, right?" ”

"You're welcome, two of us." Zhou Baolu also smiled, Sakura came in and poured tea, then withdrew, and beckoned the other maids to the outside room with a very good look.

Chen Xiqing said: "Actually, it's not surprising, Daddy is a person who can make money, I guess you also know, otherwise you look at the big brother's use, if it weren't for Daddy's ability, he would have been poor ten or eight years earlier!" Now I won't hide it from you, after my father goes, my big brother's side will be handed over to me by my father, and I will do it for my big brother. ”

Chen Xiqing's words were casual, but he said a shocking news: "Daddy has never been an official in his life, and he is not an official, but the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has been honored and favored for decades, and the two generations have been at the same level, have you ever thought about why?" ”

Zhou Baolu didn't think about it at all, but he really didn't think about it carefully, it was nothing more than that when his great-grandfather was the Marquis of Wu'an, he stood on the right side of the team today, so he was able to plan for his son to attack the knight, and now his uncle is favored by the emperor, and he plans his own future, and his grandfather has a good father and a good son, so the Marquis of Wu'an has protected three generations of marquises.

Chen Xiqing smiled and said: "I know you think so, in fact, my father has never been an official, but in private, he is in charge of some things for the saint, at that time, the saint was not the prince!" ”

And what are the secrets?

The fire of gossip in Zhou Baolu's heart was burning, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"Daddy didn't elaborate, I guess, I really can't elaborate, there are some things that can't be seen in it, and then Daddy just left some of them, the former ...... All given to me. Chen Xiqing said.

It was actually given to the little aunt? Zhou Baolu was confused when she heard this, thought about it, and asked first: "Then little aunt, where did your silver come from?" Is it all the cash given by my grandfather, or is it a business? ”

"It's industry." Chen Xiqing did not hide from Zhou Baolu, now Zhou Baolu is not only her niece, but also the crown princess, it is indeed a little different, Chen Xiqing said: "It's not the industry of Wu'an Houfu, my father taught me these since I was a child, saying that I have talent, vision, and will naturally be useful in the future, over the years, I have successively handed over a lot of things in my hands, none of them are from Wu'an Houfu, I asked twice, my father only said that I was in charge, and did not say a word, until the previous ......"

Chen Xiqing's eyes were filled with tears: "In June, my father didn't know that he couldn't afford it, so he handed over the bottom to me, in fact, I was also flustered at this time, why didn't these things be handed over to my eldest brother, but handed them over to me." ”

Zhou Baolu nodded, he understood a rough idea, Chen Xuyuan followed the saint in the dive mansion back then. The private household is still in the book. As Xiao Hongcheng said, no matter what happens, financial resources are always important, and Chen Xuyuan's contribution to the dragon cannot be underestimated.

Later, the saint ascended the throne, the whole world is his old man's family, these private transactions are about to be cleaned up, in order to succeed in the past, there are some irregularities, I want to come to the general lack of pay and plunder, take the heir, there are more unspeakable places.

Chen Xuyuan should have stopped those unruly and law-violating activities, leaving behind some innocent industries.

Zhou Baolu thought deeper, that is, after the saint ascended the throne, maybe there are some times and some things, and it is not good to justifiably mention the silver of the household department, and to mention the internal money, you still have to get the silver from Chen Xuyuan's side.

For example - the Black Knights!

The cost of raising such a team is incalculable, and it is difficult to say secrets, where does the military budget of the Black Cavalry come from?

Zhou Baolu thought for a long time and asked softly: "Then now, does anyone come to you to withdraw money?" ”

Chen Xiqing hesitated for a moment before nodding.

After listening to Chen Xiqing's secret, Zhou Baolu actually understood what Xiao Hongcheng meant when he said that he wanted to invite his little aunt to the palace to speak, just like the saint back then, Xiao Hongcheng also needed such a person.

However, now that Chen Xiqing is working for the saint, Xiao Hongcheng can't use her.

It's a pity, Zhou Baolu thought, the little aunt is a trustworthy person, the Wu'an Hou Mansion itself is on the side of the East Palace, and my grandfather has taught the little aunt since she was a child, and she has the ability, but she can't use it.

It seems that my grandfather's ability is actually the true inheritance of my mother and little aunt? Several uncles are masters who can only spend money, although the mother can make money, but she can't take care of things, only the little aunt is a top-notch, but I didn't expect that my grandfather circled her for the emperor early.

Zhou Baolu really felt sorry for Xiao Hongcheng.

It's just that I didn't expect that they were chatting in this house, Xiao Hongcheng heard it clearly at the door, and after thinking about it, he didn't rush in, and turned back to find Shen Rongzhong.

Although the business was not negotiated, Zhou Baolu is now a rare little aunt, the two have countless things to say, only talking about lunch, Zhou Baolu smiled: "It's rare for you to come back, why do you have to try the skills of the chef in the East Palace." ”

Chen Xiqing was not polite to her: "Don't you say that I will also stay for dinner, I haven't eaten the food in the palace yet, this time I will touch your light." ”

Then I heard Xiao Hongcheng's voice at the door and smiled: "My little aunt is a distinguished guest, I'm afraid that we will be naked." ”

Chen Xiqing saw that Zhou Baolu heard Xiao Hongcheng's voice, and unconsciously showed a more sunny smile, and she was quite happy in her heart, she herself has not given birth, Zhou Baolu is her favorite person, she is living so well, so happy, Chen Xiqing is also very happy.

She stood up and saluted Xiao Hongcheng who walked in, Xiao Hongcheng helped her with his own hand, and smiled at Zhou Baolu: "When you came in before, did you bump into your father?" I was talking in front of my father, but Lao Li was talking over there, and I was thinking that my little aunt was still the first time to enter the palace, why should I come back to have a meal with? I asked my father to see it, and my father said, although I am the prince, my little aunt is also an elder, and it is also a courtesy, so he sent me back, and rewarded us with a pot of eight treasures to add vegetables! ”

He turned his head to Chen Xiqing and smiled: "This is our little aunt's light, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng was originally a cold and handsome young man, but at this time, he was smiling, like the sun and ice melting, even Zhou Baolu, who was so close to him, felt warm and soft in his heart, not to mention Chen Xiqing, who had never been able to resist beauty.

The guests and hosts of a meal were happy, Xiao Hongcheng could get Chen Xiqing's detailed answer if he asked anything, Zhou Baolu was funny, of course she knew that the little aunt looked at Xiao Hongcheng differently because of her, not because of his status as the crown prince, but the little aunt felt that Xiao Hongcheng was really good, and the mentality of a good aunt was really obvious!

The question was clear, Xiao Hongcheng pointed his finger on the table, and asked with a smile: "Is the little aunt willing to go to Jiangnan?" ”

Zhou Baolu was a little puzzled, the little aunt is now doing things for her father, Xiao Hongcheng is blatantly digging into his father's corner? Just didn't ask.

Xiao Hongcheng glanced at her and said: Let's go back and say.

Zhou Baolu also nodded.

Chen Xiqing looked at them with eyebrows, but it was also interesting, so he said: "The prince didn't dare to refuse, but I always have to ask... meaning. ”

Even Chen Xiqing himself didn't know who the person behind him was, so he had to vaguely go over.

"Okay." Xiao Hongcheng nodded with a smile: "That's it!" ”

Chen Xiqing was about to faint, what did she say? This prince is really... She couldn't even find a description, and it took a while to feel that it was really ...... Pit people!

After eating, Zhou Baolu personally sent Chen Xiqing out of the palace, but he didn't expect that it was less than half an hour, Zhou Baolu was about to take a nap, and Sakura ran in in a panic: "Niangniang, Grandma Jiu has an accident." ”
