"And!" The queen said loudly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "That Qian Yulan is the princess of Wu Yueguo, and the emperor set up a prince with Wu Yue blood, does he want them to return to the country?" Isn't the emperor the most partial to Chen Xi, Chen Xi killed Wu Yue, isn't he afraid of setting up such a prince and making trouble for Chen Xi in the future? ”

It's all what and whatever!

Gao Yang felt a little headache, Chen Yuantai was really bearable to be such a queen. But this idea is what her son-in-law hopes to achieve.

"Who is buried in the underground palace, the emperor did not say clearly." Gao Yang said unhurriedly, "But even so, the Ministry of Rites and the officials already think that Yu Li is incompatible, which will cause criticism from the government and the opposition, and shake the country's foundation." ”

The queen thought so and walked around the hall anxiously. "No, I have to talk to the prince!"

But after thinking about it, Chen Yuantai had long since stopped her from seeing the prince casually, even if she did, there was also a teaching grandmother next to her to watch, how could she say such a thing!

"What has Hong'er been busy with lately? Go and deliver him a message and let him come to the palace to see me!" ”

"Lord Deng wants to ask the emperor to build a dock in Tianjin, and he is currently collecting information, thinking about how to persuade the emperor to agree." Gao Yang replied.

"When is it, what kind of messy dockyard is still being built!" The queen said angrily.

This was part of the Deng family's plan to expand their business, and Gao Yang felt that as an outsider, there was no need to explain it to the queen.

"Go and talk to Hong'er," said the queen a little tiredly after she had been angry, "if he really can't get out of his way, I may not come here, but I will go and see the prince." No matter how smart that kid is, after all, he is only ten years old, and I am afraid that he will be flustered. Hong'er is a cousin, go to see him, stabilize his heart, and give him ideas. ”

Gao Yang wants to say that Deng Hong's idea may not be able to be clever, and the biggest problem of your Deng family is that he likes to look down on his own family.

If the crown prince's status is really unstable, the people in the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace can't sit idly by, after all, their future is tied to the prince, and they are not much less concerned than the queen, who is a mother.

But he wasn't going to say anything more to the queen, so he only agreed to hand over the message to Deng Hong, and then turned around and went to the side hall to check the pulse of the four princes.

*

Du Mingxin heard about these disturbances in the palace, but they basically had nothing to do with the Jin Palace.

These days, she often takes Brother Kun to the Xingguo Mansion to play, or she is invited by the eldest lady to go back to study the marriage of Du Mingzhu and Du Mingshu.

According to the temperament of the eldest wife and Du Mingzhu, Du Mingxin didn't want to care about these idle things. However, Du Mingshu's matter, the second master didn't care about it at all, and the eldest wife couldn't choose Ding Shao as her son-in-law later, and she also disliked Du Mingshu. All Du Mingshu can rely on is her sister-in-law.

“…… Sister Zhu'er's dowry was 6,000 taels, and the rest was my dowry and the body that I had saved over the years. The eldest lady saw Du Mingxin holding the two dowry lists and comparing them, so she explained with a smile, "What's more, Sister Zhu and Sister Shu have one concubine, and the law of the public middle school is three thousand taels...... I went to ask Aunt Geng a few days ago, and told her not to be afraid of your father's blame, and if she has something, just add it to Sister Shu'er. Who knew that this Aunt Geng was a stingy person, and it took two or three days to take dozens of taels of silver and a few new pieces of silk from time to time. ”

Du Ming knew in his heart that these were only half of Aunt Geng's family background. In those years, she went to Dengfeng Zhuangzi, Sister Shu'er and the two of them begged for a living in the hands of Liu and Du Mingyan, and if they can have this savings, it is estimated that they usually save every penny.

"What about my father? He didn't add anything to Sister Shu'er? Du Mingxin asked.

The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't know your father's person?" Thinking about my son! Counting Aunt Geng and the two that the old lady gave you when you first entered Beijing, three or four people around you were not enough, and I spent three hundred taels to buy one from outside. I only said that I was afraid that your father would be deceived by the abduction, and I didn't dare to say anything more when I saw that he was on the rise. ”

Du Mingxin frowned slightly, the things that the second master usually did were really unsightly.

She glanced back at Xia Ye, and Xia Ye picked up two pieces of deed paper.

"This is what I added to Sister Shu'er, a grange of 300 acres of land in Baoding Mansion, and a pen and ink shop near Guozijian in the capital."

The eldest lady was taken aback, how could she be so generous! But look at Du Ming's heart full of pearls, especially the heart with a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg embedded in it, and swallowed the words back.

The person in front of him is no longer the second lady of the Du family who still had to be sheltered by the family back then. Now that the King of Jin has opened the mansion, Du Ming has no father-in-law and mother-in-law in his heart, and he has given birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the King of Jin is afraid that she is also obedient and respectful! What is a Zhuangzi and a shop?

The more the eldest lady thought about it, the more sour her heart became, how could such good luck not fall on her daughter?

She was just about to accept the two deed papers, but Du Mingshu hurriedly walked in, followed by Du Mingzhu.

"Second sister, don't be like this!" Du Mingshu hurriedly said, "Now that you are living with your brother-in-law's family, you can't use what your brother-in-law desperately earned from the battlefield to save face for me!" ”

"A good girl is not greedy for dowry when she marries, no matter how much dowry she has, as long as I marry well, I will be filial to my in-laws and treat my sister-in-law and uncle well, and I can also earn the respect of my husband's family!"

Du Mingxin was very relieved, he didn't hurt this sister in vain, and he knew that he was thinking about her.

"Don't be afraid, these are from my dowry, and they have nothing to do with the royal estate."

The eldest lady pursed her lips, and said that it was still something from Du Mansion. In order to buy a dowry for Du Mingxin and satisfy Shen Yao, most of Du's mansion was hollowed out, causing her plan to marry her daughter with 10,000 taels of silver in vain.

Du Mingzhu didn't feel anything, although the dowry prepared by the eldest lady for her was not as good as Peng Kang's sister-in-law's dowry, it was more than the second sister-in-law, and it was more than enough.

Since the marriage was decided, she is no longer as restless as before. If you think about it carefully, it's not bad to marry back to your grandfather's family, at least as long as your grandmother is there, her mother-in-law won't dare to do anything to her, and the concubines will be polite to her.

As for Peng Kang, although he has a more gentle temperament and does not have a father who enters the cabinet to worship the prime minister, he is a pure person, and it is comfortable to live a small life behind closed doors in the future.

After arranging Du Mingshu's dowry, Du Mingxin returned to the palace.

As soon as she entered the door, someone came to her and replied: "The old man is back with the prince today." ”

In the Jin Palace, the eldest refers to the second master Du.

"Do you know what's going on?" Du Mingxin asked as he walked.

"The old man seems to be trying to persuade the prince to say something to the emperor," replied cautiously, "and the little ones on the side don't dare to listen to it." ”

Du Mingxin nodded and went to the main courtyard.
