Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Concubine Rou knew that her eldest son must have something important to tell her when he came at this time, but she didn't know what it was.

Therefore, she did not agree to Mrs. Song's request and asked her maid to see her out the door.

However, just as Mrs. Song walked to the door, she ran into the eldest prince who came in.

It was obvious that the eldest prince did not want to say more to Madam Song, and Madam Song was just about to kneel down to salute.

The eldest prince said, "Hello, aunt."

Without waiting for Mrs. Song to respond, he walked towards the door.

Mrs. Song originally wanted to say a few words to the eldest prince's nephew, but in the end she didn't even get to say a word and had to leave the palace.

The eldest prince came into the hall, bowed to Concubine Rou, and sat down.

"Mother, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

"Didn't mother tell you that even if something big happened, you had to stay calm. You can't be so anxious and flustered like you are now. That's not like a prince."

"Yes, I know."

The anxious eldest prince, upon hearing what Concubine Rou said, quickly calmed himself down and was no longer as anxious as before.

Seeing that her son had become calm and composed, Concubine Rou nodded with satisfaction.

"Tell me what you want from me."

"Mother, do you know that the third brother is in Qingshan Mansion?"

"This is known to all the ministers in the court. It is not a secret. Don't tell me that you rushed into the palace just to tell me this."

"Of course not. Mother, do you remember that Prime Minister Yun removed his daughter from the family tree a few months ago?"

"Well, this is not something that the entire capital knows. I have also heard about it in the palace."

The eldest prince saw that his mother didn't take it seriously and felt that what he was going to say next would definitely surprise his mother.

"But there is one thing you don't know, mother. Prime Minister Yun's daughter not only did not elope with the beggar, but returned to her biological parents."

"What's the big deal? If her parents don't mind having a daughter, raising her won't be a big deal."

"But mother, do you know that Prime Minister Yun's daughter has a lot of wealth, if we can get her here."

The eldest prince said half and kept the other half. As the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Rou was the only one who could survive in the harem, so she naturally knew the unfinished meaning of her son's words.

Since ancient times, the road to succession has been full of blood and gore. To become the winner, in addition to courage and ability, money is also indispensable.

After all, only with enough money can you afford to support the army and become the ultimate winner at a critical moment.

But now, not only are they short of money, even the national treasury is not rich.

Therefore, even though she was a noble concubine and her son was the eldest prince, it was not easy for her to get a large sum of money.

However, there is one thing that she is very clear about, that is, if she can make her son talk about a large sum of money, then the wealth in Li Mengyue's hands is definitely not a small amount.

Although I don’t know why Li Mengyue has so much money, now that they know it, I can only take it.

"Mother concubine, mother concubine."

"what!"

"Mother, what do you think?"

"Of course you can, but this should be kept secret."

"Don't worry, mother. With the former daughter of the prime minister, we don't have to worry about money in the short term. How can I take it lightly?"

"Ah."

After the mother and son finished talking about this matter, the eldest prince left the palace.

Li Mengyue was walking towards a house. She didn't know yet that someone in the capital was planning to take the money from her.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. At worst, she could just fight back against the enemy with her own force and cover the water with earth.

[Tuanzi, check where Master Liu is? ]

【okay! 】

After a cup of tea.

[Host, I found it. ]

【Oh, where is it? 】

[Host, in addition to finding Master Liu, I also found a person I had located before. They are both in Zhulin Village.]

Hearing this, Li Mengyue's mind instantly flashed back to the scene when she first came to this house.

【The other person is Zhu Sijin. 】

[Host, you are right, it is Zhu Sijin, and now these two are together again. ]

[It seems that the locust plague some time ago made them behave themselves for a while, but now they are making trouble again. ]

[Host, you collected so much food from here before. Without food, Master Liu can’t do anything he wants to do! ]

【Not always. 】

Li Mengyue never assumes the best of people with bad intentions, and she is sure they are up to no good.

In fact, Li Mengyue’s guess was correct. Liu Quan had been frightened since he discovered that the food had disappeared.

When he was first assigned to Wuning County, he was glad to be favored by the Second Young Lady. As long as he did his job well, he wouldn't have to worry about whether he would be valued by the Second Young Lady. Maybe he could even take advantage of this opportunity to soar to fame.

He never expected that before he could finish his work, the food he had secretly bought disappeared.

Although he didn't know why the Second Young Miss asked him to buy food secretly, he knew that he had to do this well. If he did it beautifully, he might be able to ask the Second Young Miss for mercy and help him escape from slavery.

However, the food he had bought with great difficulty disappeared without his knowledge, and he no longer had the energy to deal with Li Mengyue.

He originally wanted to buy some more food, but who could have imagined that when he just took action, a locust plague broke out in the entire Qingshan Prefecture, and the price of food rose sharply.

Originally, the second young lady gave him 20,000 taels of silver, but he only spent 10,000 taels, thinking he would keep the rest for himself.

But the food was gone, so he had to use the remaining 10,000 taels of silver to buy food.

Even if there was no locust plague, it would not be easy to buy a large amount of food at once, not to mention that there was not much harvest in the fields due to the ravages of the locust plague.

Therefore, he has been worried about buying food during this period.

Fortunately, it was not without results. The amount of food purchased was more than two-thirds of the previous amount.

Although he has not yet met the Second Miss's requirements, he believes that if he works harder, there will be no problem.

What he didn't expect was that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't buy food.

At this time, he thought of Zhu Sijin and wanted Zhu Sijin to help him buy food in the village.

But Zhu Sijin couldn't do it at all, so he found the village chief of Zhulin Village, Zhu Sijin's grandfather Zhu Lei.

Zhulin Village, the village chief’s home.

Zhu Lei looked at the man sitting in the main seat, thinking constantly in his mind.

Although under his leadership, Zhulin Village has gradually developed from a small village of a few hundred people into a village with more than 2,000 people, it has become something he is proud of.

But he knew that if he wanted to make the village better, he was powerless.

The reason why he made Zhulin Village stronger was ultimately to make his family move up a step. He wanted the people above him to see his abilities, promote him, and give him the opportunity to pave the way for his children.

But no, that’s fine, he has absolute authority in Zhulin Village, his words are final, and no one dares to disobey him.

Even though he was just a village chief, he had satisfied his desire to be an official.
