When Yun Dai returned to the palace, she immediately wrote a letter, asking Tang Yuanyuan to send it to Xiao Ziliang and ask him to help find out Yao Shuibi's whereabouts.

In addition, she discussed with Zhao Yuanjing and made the decision to reduce the expenditure of the Northern Qi Palace by 30%.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "If you drastically cut Xiao Ziliang's money, will he still help you find Yao Shuibi?" ”

"He will."

"Oh?"

"I asked Tang Yuanyuan to bring him a word, now it's just a third, if he can't find Yao Shuibi's whereabouts within three months, I will cut his expenses by half."

Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help laughing: "It's quite difficult for a sister like you to stand up." ”

"It's because he doesn't like to talk and doesn't give him some punishment, I really think that no one can control him and can do whatever he wants."

"It's in charge, but you're going to shrink so much at once, aren't you afraid of starving them?"

"Your Majesty, ......"

"What about me?"

"It's no wonder that after all, you are in the royal family, and it is normal to not know the suffering of the people. Do you know that ordinary farmers can live for a year for two taels of silver? Yun Dai said, "Even if the budget is reduced by thirty, it is impossible for the Northern Qi Royal Mansion to reach the point where it will not be able to eat." Tighter at best. If it really comes to the point where he can't eat enough, Xiao Ziliang has to consider whether he has too many concubines. ”

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "How can I not know about the suffering of the people? It's just that Xiao Ziliang is the king of Northern Qi after all, if he is shabby and looks at the people of Northern Qi, he can't help but feel that our court has mistreated him. ”

"What's wrong with him, there are still so many people starving, he is good, he doesn't do anything serious, and thinks about the woman's affairs all night and night. It's a waste of money to use it for him! ”

"With Xiao Ziliang's temperament, I'm afraid I'm going to make trouble."

"Let him make trouble, I'm afraid he won't come. If he dares to come, see how I clean him up. ”

At this time, Liu Dequan led the palace maid in, took the medicine, and said, "Master, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

Zhao Yuanjing hummed, reached out and took the medicine and drank it.

Yun Dai said: "It looks very hot." ”

"It's not hot."

Zhao Yuanjing knew that the smell of this medicine was strong, and he didn't want her to smell it on the side, so he drank it in one go, and asked people to remove the bowl immediately.

Yun Dai said: "You slow down, what's the hurry." ”

After Zhao Yuanjing rinsed his mouth with water, he smiled and said, "If you drink faster, you won't feel so bitter." ”

Yun Dai listened, and hurriedly took out a candied fruit and handed it to him: "Eat it." ”

Zhao Yuanjing smiled: "Don't always treat me as a child, it's just a bowl of medicine, just endure it and pass." ”

"People who are sick should be treated as children."

Liu Dequan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are here." ”

"Let them in."

A moment later, Yan'er led the second prince over.

The second prince is almost five years old, and he has grown from a milk doll with a round face to a little boy with a round face.

Among the four children, only the appearance of the second prince followed Yun Dai, and even the red leaf mark was exactly the same.

Although it has not yet been officially determined, many people have already defaulted to the second prince as the future king of Northern Qi.

In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, the second prince will definitely be crowned king.

Northern Qi is a huge country, and it is not a matter for Xiao Ziliang to be managed all the time. Although he does not have a bad heart, it is true that he does not have the talent to run a country. In addition, he has not had a child of his own for a long time, and it is normal for the second prince to inherit the throne in the future.

The most important thing is that the second prince is the son of the eldest princess of Northern Qi, and he also has a surprising red leaf mark.
