Bai Wanrou took Lin Yi and Luzhu back to the private room of Shiweitian, and it didn't take long for Song Shi, who had not arrived for a long time, to appear, and when she saw Bai Wanrou, she felt a moment of weakness in her heart.

"Sit down, Song Shangshu." Bai Wanrou did not receive Song Shi very warmly, but sat there very calmly, poured him a cup of tea and put it opposite her, and then motioned to Luzhu and Lin Yi to go out first.

Song Shi, the head of the household, was a little nervous when he looked at Bai Wanrou's posture, but he had already thought of countermeasures to deal with Bai Wanrou on the way here, so after the tea that Bai Wanrou handed over, he said tremblingly:

"The minister knows the meaning of the princess and the minister's meeting, but now the household department has no money to help you solve your worries, after all, the natural disasters are also boiling at the beginning of spring, and the household department really can't come up ......with any money."

Bai Wanrou had long known that the old fox Song Shi, the head of the household, would find a reason to prevaricate herself, so she didn't have too many expressions of displeasure or embarrassment on her face, but said with a smile after taking a sip of tea:

"Isn't this princess spending the silver taels of this household so quickly, didn't she receive a lot of gifts some time ago? If this princess remembers correctly, the current income of the household department is at least not less than 800,000 taels, and even the expenditure is not less than 400,000 taels, why does this household department have to have 450,000 taels in its hands, right? Isn't it Song Shangshu that you are corrupt?"

In fact, Bai Wanrou didn't know how much the household department had in the account, the reason why she knew it was because she learned about it in Bai Fengqi's official document by chance, and since then she has remembered the expenses and expenses of the household department, and let people secretly inquire about the income and expenditure of the household department, so that there is a relatively accurate figure.

Song Shi, the head of the household, fell into silence after listening to Bai Wanrou's words, because before he came to see Bai Wanrou, he didn't expect Bai Wanrou to know so much about the income and expenses of the household department, and what he said was very different, which made him feel that Bai Wanrou was actually very clear about many things, but he didn't continue to make it clear to himself.

Bai Wanrou looked at him silent, and continued: "Don't worry, I don't tell you this to ask your household department for money, but I just need Song Shangshu to help you hide the truth about the financial expenses of the palace, as for how many things Song Shangshu has in his hands, this princess will keep it a secret for you."

These words surprised Song Shi, who was the head of the household department, and at the same time was surprised and happy in his heart, and the surprised hand Bai Wanrou asked himself to help conceal the income and expenditure of the palace accounts, and the joy was that Bai Wanrou would keep the secret of the household department's money expenditure and income for herself.

"The minister knows what the princess means, but the emperor's minister is not easy to explain, after all, the minister doesn't know what the princess asked the minister to do this, so he doesn't dare to ......do it rashly," Song Shi, the head of the household, still wanted to know Bai Wanrou's purpose for letting him do this, so he knocked on the side and said.

Originally, he told Song Shi, the head of the household, that he helped him hide the truth from the household, and Bai Wanrou was very tolerant of him, but now this old fritter is still here and wants to know his purpose for letting him do this, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but sink her face, looked at him murderously and said:

"If this princess asks you to do it, you will do it! So much for the purpose of knowing? Could it be that when a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from the household department was not included in the account of the household department, Song Shangshu also wanted people to know the purpose of your doing this?"

Song Shi, the head of the household, is not a fool, seeing that Bai Wanrou was unwilling to reveal the matter, he stopped asking, and said good things to Bai Wanrou with sweat, and finally had to agree under Bai Wanrou's eyes, Bai Wanrou saw that she didn't want to continue to embarrass him, and directly waved his hand to let him leave.

After Song Zhi left, Lin Yi, who had been standing at the door with Luzhu, walked in, looked at Bai Wanrou, who was sitting there and didn't know what to think, and said, "Princess, I'm afraid the silver taels in our house are not enough for your needs now."

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Bai Wanrou, who was originally in deep thought, came back to her senses, looked at him and said, "This matter is very important, I'll figure out a way, don't worry about it, the top priority now is that we have to meet Kyoto first."

As early as after letting Song Shi, the head of the household, leave, Bai Wanrou was thinking about it in her heart, how to raise the money next

Gathering this matter, now that she heard Lin Yi asking, she was more sure of that idea in her heart, after all, she would not do it unless this matter was a last resort.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't say anything else, but asked people to hurry up and prepare a carriage for Bai Wanrou, because he knew that Bai Wanrou must have a plan in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have said so clearly that she would go back to Kyoto.

Lu Zhu, who was waiting for Bai Wanrou on the side, watched her princess grow up so fast, and there was a moment of discomfort, but thinking back to the hardships that the princess had suffered in the palace before, it would definitely be impossible to say that she had not grown.

After meeting with Bai Wanrou, Song Shi, the head of the household, went to the palace to find the emperor, and revealed to the emperor that he had done a perfunctory thing Bai Wanrou, and Bai Wanrou did not have any doubts about this, after listening to these words, the emperor was very satisfied with the approach of Song Shi, the head of the household, and said several words of praise for him, and finally there was really nothing to say, so he let him leave.

Originally, this matter was quite thrilling, so after leaving from the emperor's side, Song Shi, the head of the household, just walked not far from the door, and when he saw that there was no one around, he began to exhale heavily, and then used his sleeve to constantly wipe his sweaty forehead, and his heart could be said to be panicked.

On the other side, Bai Wanrou quickly took Luzhu and Lin Yi back to the Jian'an Palace, Bai Wanrou was quiet all the way, and didn't say anything else, until a few of them returned to the mansion and returned to the courtyard where Bai Wanrou usually lived, Bai Wanrou, who had been silent all the way, spoke:

"In a few days, it's Princess Chaohua's birthday banquet, right? When the time comes, let's visit Princess Chaohua."

When Lin Yi heard this, the expression on his face could be said to be very surprised, and he suddenly thought of the fact that not long ago, he told Bai Wanrou that the silver taels in the palace were not enough, and thought that it could be Bai Wanrou, is this going to visit Princess Chaohua and raise silver taels from the princess to help the prince? But if he remembered correctly, Princess Chaohua didn't seem to want to hold a birthday banquet this time.

"But this time, Princess Chaohua doesn't seem to want to hold a birthday banquet, wouldn't it be a little abrupt for us to go so rashly?"

Listening to what Lin Yi said, Bai Wanrou naturally knew in her heart, but she didn't believe that Zheng Chaohua, the eldest princess of Chen Guo, could not hold a birthday banquet, even if she didn't want to do it, the emperor would definitely give her a big one, after all, she was the aunt of the current emperor, and she watched the emperor grow up with the current Chen Ruzhi and the crown prince.

Therefore, it is impossible for the emperor to snub Zheng Chaohua, unless the emperor wants to go against Princess Chaohua.

"It's okay, let's just visit Princess Chaohua and wish her a happy birthday in advance, as for her birthday banquet, this matter shouldn't be something we have to worry about, after all, our purpose for going to her is obvious, isn't it?"

Regarding the current situation, Bai Wanrou already knew in her heart that even if Princess Zhaohua did not hold a birthday banquet this year, she would find an opportunity to talk to Princess Chaohua about the current situation.

"You go and ask someone to send a message to Princess Chaohua's mansion, just say that Princess Jian'an misses the princess and wants to visit."

In order to prevent them from going directly like this, it would seem very abrupt, Bai Wanrou specially arranged for Lin Yi to send a greeting to Princess Chaohua first, and then she could directly bring someone to visit.

Princess Chaohua did not drive Lin Yi away directly after receiving the post, but asked people to reply to him and said that she was looking forward to Bai Wanrou's arrival, and that she would prepare Bai Wanrou's favorite meals and wait for Bai Wanrou to come to visit, Lin Yi was very surprised by Princess Chaohua's answer, but she still brought these words to Bai Wanrou as they were.

Bai Wanrou didn't expect Princess Chaohua to reply to herself like this, but since she had already sent a post, there was no reason not to visit, so that Luzhu was ready to bring gifts to Princess Chaohua, and within a few days, Bai Wanrou took Lin Yi to visit Princess Chaohua.

As the people from the princess's mansion brought Bai Wanrou and others to Zheng Chaohua, Bai Wanrou also made a big salute to her in a proper manner.

"Wanrou has seen the princess."

Because he knew that Bai Wanrou would come in the next few days, he asked the girls to prepare something to eat early, and now he was waiting for Bai Wanrou to come to visit, looking at Bai Wanrou's proper salute when she saw her, Zheng Chaohua couldn't help but be a little impressed by her, and felt that the rumored Princess Jian'an seemed to be a little different.

"Come on, you and I are all a family, this palace is not as good as the palace, but there are not so many rules." After that, Zheng Chaohua stretched out his hand to help Bai Wanrou, and asked someone to show her tea and let her sit down.

Bai Wanrou didn't expect that after she arrived at Princess Chaohua, she would be so entertained by Princess Chaohua, and she was very surprised in her heart, but she didn't forget the purpose of her trip, but she was thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to tell her previous purpose.

Zheng Chaohua looked at Bai Wanrou sitting there a little embarrassed, so he asked, "Why did you just arrive at the princess's mansion and look sad when you sat down?" But what's going on lately? Why don't you talk to Hongu?"

Listening to Princess Chaohua ask herself like this, Bai Wanrou, who didn't know how to tell her about her coming, instantly felt a little grateful.

Looking up at Princess Chaohua's concerned eyes, Bai Wanrou knelt down under her surprised eyes, and then said word by word: "Actually, Wanrou came here this time for the prince, and asked the princess to help the prince."
