"If I ask for this land, does that mean I can use it as I please?"

"No, this land can only be used for farming."

Jiang Ning categorically refused without thinking about it, knowing that when she first lived in the cold palace, the land was full of weeds and barren.

It took her a lot of effort to reclaim and fatten the land, and it became what it is today.

If Mu Jingzhao tossed this land beyond recognition, no matter how high the price was, Jiang Ning would never give up this land.

Mu Jingzhao looked around the courtyard of the cold palace, "In this way, I will give you 50,000 taels of silver, and you will hand over all the cultivated land in this courtyard to me to take care of." ”

Jiang Ning's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Her worries about the country rose to an unprecedented height, but the temptation of money made Jiang Ning instantly put aside her worries about the country and the people.

"Deal! One word! Jiang Ning shook hands with Mu Jingzhao without hesitation, and his smile was so bright that it seemed like a flower had bloomed.

She shook her hand with a smile on her face, and her eyes slowly froze on the vegetable field beside Mu Jingzhao, "But the vegetables in this courtyard are all planted by the concubines with hard work, and this should be returned to the concubines." ”

Mu Jingzhao was noncommittal, he turned his head to look at these small vegetable patches, and secretly thought in his heart that this kind of vegetable was just such a simple thing as loosening the soil and planting seeds, and it should be just a piece of cake for himself.

"In that case, then don't let my Praetorian Guards do such a thing for you."

Jiang Ning nodded and stopped talking.

When she realized that Mu Jingzhao, a stupid emperor, always liked to spend high prices to buy things that originally belonged to her, she began to unconsciously think about how to continue to let him spend money willingly.

Of course, Mu Jingzhao obviously didn't know what Jiang Ning was planning.

He looked down at the extremely simple bun on the top of Jiang Ning's hair in front of him, and the peacock feather hairpin inlaid with pearls in his hair.

"What do you think about what happened today?"

Jiang Ning was briefly withdrawn from that tired state, and was pulled back by Mu Jingzhao again.

She tilted her head slightly, barely recalling, but unexpectedly, all the images she recalled in her mind were the teacup that Liu Jinfu took out of his hand and Ling Yue's intermittent wail.

"The concubine is just a little puzzled." Jiang Ning looked at the plump cabbage all over the ground, "Why didn't the emperor stop that farce in time, but let things progress to this point?" ”

Mu Jingzhao stretched slowly, thinking back to today's daytime, he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his temples.

You must know that his father is the Ninety-Five Supreme, but this one is only his mother.

His father gave all the favor to their mother and son, and in the family he remembered, there were very few simple quarrels and quarrels, let alone any-for-tat hatred for each other.

Therefore, Mu Jingzhao was more at a loss in the face of all this.

"More moves, more flaws."

Jiang Ning instantly understood that Mu Jingzhao's intention was to find out the flaws of the other party and let him show his feet.

"Then what does the emperor think?"

Mu Jingzhao didn't answer directly, "It seems that the other party has a mind and doesn't want me to have a good time." ”

Jiang Ning didn't mind that the other party didn't answer positively, "It's just that the emperor has provoked the unhappiness of the queen mother and the concubine at the same time, I'm afraid that the next days will not be better." ”

Jiang Ning has loved to read all kinds of scripts since she was a child, especially the secret history of various harem mansions, and she is simply at her fingertips.

But those are also just innocuous love-hate entanglements.

But now, when all this is presented to her, she finds that the reality is far more cruel and terrifying than the story.

Now, her only thought is to make some more money, complete the mission and leave this damn place.

Jiang Ning's words seemed to pull Mu Jingzhao out of self-escape in an instant.

He rubbed his temples with his fingertips with a modest motion.

"On the queen's side, the emperor can give the peacock feather that was auctioned with a lot of money last time to the queen's mother. As for the concubine's side—"

"The third day of the next month is the concubine's birthday, and I want to set up a banquet to celebrate the concubine's birthday. When the time comes, you'll have to worry about it. ”

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just raised his head and looked at Mu Jingzhao silently.

The warm yellow candlelight reflected in the window of the cold palace flowed silently in Jiang Ning's eyes, and Mu Jingzhao looked at her eyes silently, really a little unwilling to believe why the only thing that could be seen in such pure eyes was money.

"As long as you can make the concubine happy, silver is a small thing."

Jiang Ning's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly held Mu Jingzhao's hand with both hands, as if he was holding a God of Wealth.

She was even considering whether to build an ancestral hall for Mu Jingzhao and offer him up.

"Jiang Ning." His gaze slowly swept over Jiang Ningxi's smiling face, and a turbulent and complex emotion rippled in his heart.

He had never seen such a person who could express her emotions and desires so simply and openly.

Everyone in this world always plays a variety of roles and identities, emperors, concubines, queens, and slaves.

But she is different, she is herself, she is Jiang Ning.

"Huh?" Jiang Ning, who rarely heard Mu Jingzhao's tone, was stunned for a moment.

"What was your original name?"

"I forgot."

"That's it."

"What does it matter what the name is? I'm just me, whatever I call it I'm me. ”

Mu Jingzhao looked at her in a daze, and his emotions were surging.

He has been entrusted with important responsibilities since he was a child, and he has been repeatedly reminded that you are the emperor and the crown prince since he was a child, but no one has ever cared what he was like.

"What's wrong with the emperor?"

"Nothing." He smiled slightly, "I hope you'll always be yourself." ”

Jiang Ning was a little inexplicable, "If the concubine doesn't do herself, who else can she be?" ”

Mu Jingzhao didn't answer anymore, he stretched his waist, turned around and walked in the direction of the study.

"Prepare some sugar gourds for me."

Jiang Ning instantly smelled the smell of wealth and trotted to follow, "Five taels of silver." ”

"I just made you a lot of money, what if you give me a string?"

"One more point is one point, and no one has too much silver."

"Then I don't want it, if you continue to spend it at this rate, the treasury will be emptied by you."

"The emperor is joking with his concubines, how can the treasury be emptied so easily."

"Let's discuss it again, how about a string of three taels of silver? Or two? One or two, the minimum can only be one or two, and if it is lower, it will lose money, this is done by the concubine herself! ”

"Nope! If this continues, I won't be able to support you! ”

"Afford to raise it! Don't give up, Your Majesty—"
