The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiaowu and said, "Since it has come this far, the mourning family will open the skylight and say something bright, Miss Tong, you are not suitable to be the princess of Prince Xuan!" ”

Tong Xiaowu nodded when she heard this, if she hadn't pretended to faint today, I'm afraid these people wouldn't have met her.

I'm afraid that these words will not be said to her by people in high positions when they are old, anyway, it doesn't matter to them whether she exists or not.

"The Queen Mother, the women heard that the floods in the south are mostly the disasters of the two lakes, if the imperial court allocates silver, builds reservoirs, dams, and digs fish scale pits between the mountains and forests in the upper reaches of the two lakes, it can not only solve the drought in the upper reaches of the northwest, but also solve the floods of the two lakes......"

"Bold, who will talk to you about the government? The mourning family has heard that you are in business, and you take care of most of your family's business, but so what?

Chen'er is a prince, how can you be a husband and wife with a woman who has no identity, even if the mourning family admits that you are husband and wife, you can't be the princess, you can only be a woman by his side, but what identity is not something you can decide. ”

The old lady's voice was raised, and there was a lot of displeasure in her tone.

"If the drought in the northwest and the flood in the south are solved, has the Queen Mother ever thought about how much money she can save for Xuanyuan every year? The women have calculated that they can reach at least 120 million taels of silver! ”

Tong Xiaowu pretended to be dizzy to see her, how could she be defeated by her words, needless to say, she also knew what she wanted to express, but her own words had to be said before she had a chance to leave this palace.

Her dysentery medicine really can't wait, if she breaks her promise, she will offend Bai Zeyuan, the general of Zhenguo, and she really can't afford to offend that person.

As for whether she can be a princess? It's not for them to decide, take it slowly and look at it slowly, maybe the final result will be unexpected? .

"You ......" The Queen Mother stood up angrily, but when she heard the number the other party said, the expression on her face changed: "What did you just say?" How much? ”

"If the drought in the northwest is resolved, the annual grain tax revenue plus the losses caused by the drought in the south will leave a total of 120 million taels of silver for Xuanyuan." Tong Xiaowu said again.

The Queen Mother sat in her position all of a sudden, and the annual tax revenue of Xuanyuan Kingdom was 500 million taels of silver, which added 100 million to the emperor.

"What did you just say? What dike? The dams of the two lakes are being repaired every year, but they have not seen any effect on the flooding. ”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she found herself slapped in the face again, and quickly closed her mouth, "We're talking about your business, a woman ......"

"You can't interfere with the government, can you? The Queen Mother ......" Tong Xiaowu suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, she retreated and said:

"It doesn't matter if I am a princess or not, anyway, he was not a prince when I married Yuchen, if it wasn't for our invitation to the capital to participate in the emperor's banquet this time, I wouldn't know his identity.

Besides, the things I have experienced in the palace in the past few days have also made me realize that I am not suitable for being a princess at all, and as for my fate with him, I am also taking one step at a time now.

However, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although I am from the countryside and I am also a woman, but I see the suffering of those refugees, and some things are obviously in the way?

Is it because the woman is a woman that the woman doesn't mention it? It's obviously a very simple thing, is it just because I'm a woman that I have to watch the people of the two counties of Youzhou die and be injured every year because of floods?

Queen Mother, you can let me leave Prince Xuan now, but this matter must be said by the people's women......"

As she spoke, Tong Xiaowu lowered her head and wiped her non-existent tears.

When the Queen Mother heard this, the Buddha beads in her hand were tightly clenched, she stood up, and walked back and forth, and for a long time she suddenly shouted, "Come on, go and ask the emperor to come to mourn the house here!" ”

"Yes......" someone outside responded.

"Get up, the mourning family is old, except for housework, don't care about other things, when the emperor comes, you can tell him!" The Empress Dowager sat in her seat, looking at the woman in front of her, her eyes became deep.

No wonder she can be the richest man in Nanzhou, there is really a set, she knows that she is canvassing for herself, but she has no way to refuse.

As she said, so many lives and so much money, does she, the queen mother, really want to turn a blind eye just because she is a woman? The floods in the south have plagued Xuanyuan for hundreds of years, maybe she really has a way?

Tong Xiaowu frowned slightly when she heard that she was going to invite the emperor over, she had thought of a plot to meet the queen mother in her plan, but she had never thought about a plot to meet the emperor.

"Queen Mother, can the women go out and change their clothes?" This is basic etiquette, otherwise a big disrespect can kill her.

"Mama Zhang, take Miss Tong to change her clothes and freshen up." The Queen Mother thought about the spring water disaster in her mind and said.

"Yes......" Mama Zhang came in and took Tong Xiaowu out.

On the way, the corners of Mama Zhang's mouth smiled slightly, and she took her to the next room to groom and dress her, "Girl, the old slave's hometown is from Lu County, Youzhou." ”

Tong Xiaowu looked at Mama Zhang through the bronze mirror and nodded, "Wow......"

Mama Zhang pursed her lips and said: "When the old slave was young, he was desperate because of the flood in his hometown, and his parents forgot about it, so he was bought in the capital, if you really ...... girl."

Suddenly, Mama Zhang's eyes moistened, and she took a deep breath before stabilizing her emotions: "I'm sorry girl, it's just that the old slave can't help but ...... when he thinks of his hometown."

"Don't worry, Mama Zhang, my method will definitely work, it depends on whether the emperor agrees?" Tong Xiaowu opened her mouth to comfort.

"What if the emperor doesn't agree? Although the old slave doesn't know if the girl's method can be done? But the girl spoke up and spoke up for the flooding of the two lakes, this is courage! Mama Zhang wiped her tears again.

"I feel that the emperor should agree to this matter." Tong Xiaowu said while thinking about it.

Mama Zhang looked at the woman in front of her in surprise: "Why is the girl sure that the emperor will agree?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment!"

"The girl must not speculate on the holy will, this is very disrespectful!" Sure enough, it is an old lady who has served in the palace for many years, and a few words are inseparable from the palace rules.

"I didn't speculate on the divine will, I just knew what I had to do." After Tong Xiaowu explained, she reached out and stroked her hair, and then took off the Zhu Hai that Mama Zhang had inserted for her.

"It's not mine, I don't want it, I'm grateful to be able to borrow your clothes."
