The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Concubine Li was deprived of her title and was grounded for one month without being allowed to visit.

There is no doubt that the conflict between the Yan and Li families has deepened!As soon as the two parties meet, their eyes will turn into donkey's eyes, ranging from making sarcastic remarks, to fighting in the street or hacking each other in the hall.

The regent Yan Yang granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom.

Yan Dang's arrogance became more and more arrogant, and his influence in the government and the public, both inside and outside the court, reached an unprecedented peak.From officials and ministers in various ministries and military generals, to governors, governors, and frontier officials, more than half of the officials in the world are Yan's disciples, friends, and in-laws. These people are twisted into a rope, trying to strangle anyone. You can strangle anyone to death.

The neutral Nangong clan, Nangong Xinci was killed by the eldest princess with a stick, and they could only sulk secretly.Nangong Chief Situ, when he saw his right servant Lord Sheyan in the court hall, he still called you brother and brother as before; when he saw the regent, he still laughed and smiled three times; even if he hated Mu Tingxue to death, he would still praise you to the sky with a smile. , not letting you see any clues.

Because the Nangong family still wants to continue to be in-laws with the Yan family.

This is a wealthy family, a home of prominent officials.

On the third day after Mu Tingxue returned to Yundu, Yan Yang, the regent of Shangzhu Kingdom and the governor of Zhenbei, put forward the matter of the portrait being invited to Qilin Pavilion.

The first ceremony is hosted by the Ministry of Etiquette.

Li Jing, the Minister of Rites, asked for an allocation of 15 taels. He first entered the Qilin Pavilion and requested that the road from the Jinluan Palace to the Qilin Pavilion should be paved with red and precious silk and satin. The trees on both sides should also be tied with red ribbons, and then a grand celebration banquet would be held. There are a thousand tables for banquets with all the civil and military officials of the court, and each table has 24 dishes.

Mu Tingxue was on duty at the Ministry of Household Affairs. When she saw Li Jing's speech requesting funding, she cursed inwardly: "This idiot wants to stretch out a hand from his throat to grab the money."

Then, in her speech, she approved - Got it, inherit the ancestral system.

One thousand, five hundred taels of silver were allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After half an hour.

When the Ministry of Etiquette was on duty, a shocking roar came out.

"Is she sending a beggar? If she wants 15 taels, give her 500 taels? You bastard!!"

The Minister of Rites, Li Jing, was so angry that he overturned the table and smashed the official documents, pens, inkstones, and teacups all over the floor.

His hand holding the document was shaking constantly. The six red words on it, "I understand, inherit the ancestral system," were perfunctory and mocking.

The clerk who was responsible for delivering the documents looked at the furious Master Li and said cautiously: "Her Royal Highness the Princess still... also said..."

Li Jing said fiercely: "What else can that stinky bitch say?"

The clerk lowered his hand and said, "The eldest princess also said that there is not much silver left in Taicang, the household department. Everything should be kept simple. Sir Wan Wangli will understand."

"Cry the poor!"

Li Jing's internal organs seemed to be burning with fire, "The Ministry of Household Affairs swept the corners of the box and couldn't find 15 taels of silver? How could a woman be so stingy? It's not someone else who entered Qilin Pavilion, it was her betrothed regent. Enter the Qilin Pavilion to hold a celebration banquet."

That's right, a good match.

Everyone in the whole cloud knew that the regent had won a great victory in the Northern Expedition. He didn't even return home or ask for credit. He went directly to Baidi City to find the eldest princess. These two people must have had an affair!

"I personally went to her to ask for money!"

Li Jing really couldn't swallow this breath.

Brother Cong also told him last night that the celebration banquet for the Regent's entry into Qilin Pavilion must be a grand one. The bigger the show, the better, and the more expensive the better. It is best to make it vigorous and overwhelming, attracting all the nobles in the city. Invite everyone to come and lift Yan Yang to the sky.

He can't live up to Brother Cong's expectations for him.

As the saying goes, the higher you praise, the harder you fall.

Housekeeping department.

Mu Tingxue was sitting on a bamboo chair covered with apricot brocade. On the table in front of her were piles of messages from the Ministry of Revenue. Beside her, the Minister of Revenue, Zheng Suiliang, was reporting to her the work of the past month, every detail.

Old Zheng looked troubled: "The water transportation project is 40 taels, divided into two phases. The first phase of 20 taels must be paid this month. The Governor of the River Channel has sent three offers to urge me, and today there is a fourth. It’s like a reminder, Your Highness, look at it——”

Mu Tingxue directly approved Zhu: "Give it to him."

Lao Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled: "You don't know how difficult Governor Yang is. For more than ten days in a row, he blocked the door of the old minister's house and hanged himself if he refused to pay for the water transportation project."

Mu Tingxue: "..."

Have a sip of tea to calm down.

Lao Zheng paused and then said: "The second phase of the project is 20 yuan, which will be paid at the end of May. There is still two months of buffer time."

Mu Tingxue didn't even frown: "The Woyejiang water transport project is to transport grain and salt from the south to the north. It is a good thing for the benefit of the common people. This large expenditure cannot be saved."

Lao Zheng then reported: "Master Su, the Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Navy, requested 60 taels of military pay, saying that there are bandits from Dongsang Kingdom on the southeast coast who are ready to move."

"How much? 60?"

Mu Tingxue thought she heard wrongly.

Old Zheng's heart tightened and he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, it is written in the message that it costs 60 taels. Governor Su said that his 30 navy troops cannot be cut off from food and salary, and building warships is also expensive. "

Mu Tingxue said solemnly: "The Regent's northern expedition only spent 50 taels of military pay for the 24 Zhenbei Army. His Southeast Navy soldiers were only half the number of Zhenbei Army. How dare you ask for 60? Give him 12 Ten thousand."

Just at this time.

A strange voice came from the door of the duty room.

"Isn't the Ministry of Household Affairs rich? They took out 20 or 12 yuan. Why, it was only me, the Rites Department, who held the celebration ceremony. Her Royal Highness the Princess was reluctant to give it. Did she look down on me and Li Li, so she only gave her [-] yuan? ?”

When Mu Tingxue heard this, she looked up and saw Li Jing wearing a crimson official robe.

This Minister of Rites is known as a firecracker and has a quick temper.If he was not given money, he actually came to his office to make trouble.

She leaned back on the bamboo chair and crossed her fingers: "I only have one thousand, five hundred taels, do you want it if you love me?"

Li Jing was so angry that his liver ached: "What do you mean?"

Doesn't this mean admitting to looking down on him?

The eldest princess is trying her best to fight with him.

Mu Tingxue reprimanded coldly: "I would like to ask Lord Li what do you mean? The north has just weathered the snowstorm, and the treasury is extremely empty. The major expenditures for the water transportation project to open up the Woye River cannot be saved. The Southeast Navy is demanding 60 military pay households. The Ministry gritted its teeth and could only squeeze out 12, and anti-epidemic materials have not yet been raised when a plague breaks out in northwest Michigan. In such difficult times, if another 15 is forced to be allocated to throw a celebration banquet at Qilin Pavilion, how will the world view the regent? King? The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will think that the regent is very happy with his achievements! The officials will scold him for being powerful and self-respecting! The navy in the southeast will feel that their insufficient military pay is squandered by the regent! The people in the northwest will feel that they cannot get anti-epidemic supplies. The regent has embezzled it! According to this princess, if you dare to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and demand 15 yuan today, you are simply harboring evil intentions and framing the regent for injustice!"

Li Jing's face instantly turned pale, and he felt uneasy.

He didn't expect the eldest princess to be so smart and careful, and see so clearly Li Jia's plot against Yan Yang.

"The sky is clear, the eldest princess has wronged me unjustly!"
