Chapter 404: Alliance

The Second Highness Ling Hao was openly dealing with the family, and at the same time secretly discussed the ranking with Song Xinyi, Song Xinyi knew that even if the ranking was sent, the crown prince Ling Zhi would definitely take advantage of the topic to play, so let the Second Highness Ling Zhi rank and screen the prestige and recognition of the family among the people.

The entire imperial court is waiting for this family ranking, and once the dust settles, it means that the power in the capital will be reshuffled.

Finally, the emperor posted the ranking of the families, and those families found that those who were not involved with the four major families or were less involved, and the families that enjoyed fame were ranked higher.

And after Song Xinyi's publicity, these families also have a good reputation among the people, and the top ones have taken the initiative to withdraw from the alliance of the four major families and the prince, they are all smart people, so they naturally have to protect themselves, and the reputation they have won hard cannot be lost in their own hands, otherwise the ancestors will crawl out of the cemetery and beat them.

And this ending directly led to the prince stealing chickens and rice, and he originally wanted to wait for the ranking to come out and join the major families to protest against the dissatisfaction with the ranking, but at the moment, in addition to the Wei Chi family, they are also loyal to the prince, although the other three major families are not directly provocative, but at the moment, on the cusp of the storm, it is better to keep a low profile, as for the other families who took the initiative to climb before, none of them are gone, as if they have never told the prince about this.

However, on the side of the Second Highness Ling Hao, many families have seen his upright and fair side, and since before, there was no side or a sideline, and they have taken refuge under the Second Highness Ling Hao, not to mention that there is a Protector General's Mansion behind the Second Highness.

The emperor naturally saw this plan, so he praised the second highness Ling Hao above the court, as for the Wei Chi family, it was really discredited, if it weren't for the queen and the prince, then they would really withdraw from the four major families, but in this way, the grudge between them and Song Xinyi became deeper and deeper.

"The matter of the Maison's ranking is over." Second Highness Ling Hao sighed deeply, this time made his busy feet not touch the ground, and the whole person lost a circle.

"Although you worked hard, you did the emperor a favor and won a sense of trust in his heart, and this transaction is not a loss." Song Xinyi said with a smile.

"This is also thanks to Miss He and General Qi, if it weren't for you and me, where would I be appreciated by my father like this for a day." Second Highness Ling Hao could obviously feel that after the matter of the family's ranking, he was paid more and more attention by his father.

"You must remember not to show your edge, especially not to steal the prince's light." Qi Rui said on the side, "This time, the prince wanted to see you make a fool of yourself, but he didn't expect you to do things so beautifully, and his hatred for you will naturally become deeper and deeper." If he didn't take you seriously before, he's going to make you a serious threat. ”

Second Highness Ling Hao nodded cautiously: "I feel that the prince's attitude towards me is obviously different, and he used to be completely disdainful of me, but these few times he deliberately belittled himself in front of his father and raised me, he wanted me to get carried away and let him have a handle to grasp." ”

"As long as you have a clean foundation and do a lot of good things for your father, naturally the prince will not be able to catch you."

"But now that the matter of the family ranking is over, will the father ...... next" Second Highness Ling Hao looked at Qi Rui, the Protector General's Mansion has always been a knife hanging above his father's head, he will take this knife down sooner or later, he doesn't care if he can sit on the throne, he just doesn't want to lose a friend and master.

"Second Highness, you don't have to worry too much, Qi Rui has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and what he is doing now is not a major matter for the country and the people, as long as he doesn't commit the above crimes, your father and emperor can't find any reason to move him."

"Or I didn't understand it by nature, General Qi's ancestors made great contributions to the Donghao country, why can't my father look at it from a different angle." Second Highness Ling Hao doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand. dm

"This is the heart of the emperor, if one day you sit in that position, you will understand, that person in that position is not only power, but controls the fate of everyone."

Or sit in that position, power and money have become unimportant, the important thing is that they have a sense of accomplishment in this world, a sense of accomplishment that is unique in this world, otherwise how can they say that they are the true dragon son of heaven, everyone is an underground people, and he is the son of heaven, so he is naturally superior.

"Let's talk about this later, you hurry back to the palace, it's been too long."

Qi Rui began to drive away Second Highness Ling Hao.

"Oh!" Second Highness Ling Hao stood up, and when he was leaving, he asked Song Xinyi, "By the way, I have already received the income of the ready-to-wear store for the last few months, are you giving me too much?" ”

Second Highness Ling Hao invested in the garment store at that time, which was for Qi Rui's sake, but the more he contacted Song Xinyi, he found that she was better than Qi Rui in some places, fortunately, he didn't say anything at that time, and directly nodded and agreed, and now the income of this garment store is actually worth half of the income of his other industries, how can this not surprise him.

"Not much, there are so many families standing on your side now, you take that silver and do it well, by the way, if it's not good, you can pay me back twice, it's all my hard work."

Song Xinyi really didn't regard Ling Hao as the master, and her tone was casual.

"Oh, I see, I will." But His Royal Highness was not angry at all, "Then I'll send you some jewelry?" And your brother, isn't he studying? Do you want a pen and ink inkstone? ”

"Yes, why not, you take more!"

"Okay, okay." Second Highness Ling Hao nodded and finished speaking, and then went out to leave.

Qi Rui looked at Song Xinyi with a smile: "You really don't treat him as a prince." ”

"Without me and you, he, the prince, is only nominal at best, like now. However, he has a good temperament, is not arrogant or impatient, he listens to everything he says, and will not look down on you because of your low status, if he really becomes an emperor one day, I am afraid that these words will be difficult to hear. So now let him listen to it, and let him know what it means to be faithful to the ear and to do it. ”

"Miss, this is the accounts for the last quarter."

He Rong held a bunch of ledgers and put them on the table for Song Xinyi to check.

Now the popularity of the loom has come down, but the popularity of the sericulture workshop can be higher day by day, and since the Ministry of Industry took over, a series of terms and regulations have been formulated, so that the people can know more clearly what the use of the sericulture workshop is.

And the first batch of silk completed in the silkworm workshop, has also been sent to the palace by the embroidery girls to make a variety of high-quality clothes, and then distributed to the hands of the palace masters, it turns out that this silk is really a good thing, not only comfortable to wear, but more important is like not wearing, and the emperor got a bed of silk covered with a silk quilt on the body, light and soft and very breathable, so that his sleep is much better.
