The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

At first, I didn't understand what A Niang meant, and thought she was talking nonsense. After all, village girls like them who lived in a leaky thatched house, without power or influence, had no chance to step into the imperial city.

Now I understand, I understand it completely.

She is a princess, the most noble and legitimate princess of Beiqiu.

Ha ha…

Does it count?

A'niang was only a concubine. No matter how favored she was, as long as she was not the queen, the children she gave birth to would be illegitimate.

Legitimate child? She doesn't deserve it, nor does she want it.

I slept in a daze until the afternoon.

"Master, the second prince is here."

Yun Xuxu ran in hurriedly, with a few snowflakes on her head and her whole body was cold.

"I also brought a lot of fresh and rare ingredients."

Hu Luanfei was stunned when she heard this. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Yes, the Second Prince was her nominal brother. Some things were not his fault after all, and there was no reason to treat others with a cold face.

"Tell him to wait in the second-floor wing."

Xuanyuan Yuqing is a pretty good person. From the time we met until now, he has never gotten angry over anything.

He went back and changed his clothes, but they were still moon-white brocade clothes. His wounds had not healed yet, so he could not drink.

Inside the room, the two sat in silence.

The waiter opened the door and came in to serve tea, then left and closed the door. The two of them didn't move, as if they were sulking, as if whoever spoke first would admit defeat.

Finally, it was Xuanyuan Yuqing who stated the purpose of coming to Zuihualou.

"Soon after I returned to the palace, my father summoned the military minister to discuss Nanqi's attack on Beiqiu."

Hu Luanfei didn't care about the war at all. "Why are you telling me this?"

"When we were kidnapped, my brother was already stationed in the military zone north of the city."

The battlefield is not like an ordinary fight, you will get injured, bleed, and even lose your life.

Xuanyuan Yuqing said again: "My royal brother..."

But he hesitated to speak and glanced at her cautiously.

Hu Luanfei asked, "You mean he is my brother from the same mother, right?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing paused: "You knew it a long time ago?"

"A rough guess."

Xuanyuan Yuqing said nothing more, took out a dark blue A4-sized notebook from his arms and placed it on the table.

Seven years ago, Xuanyuan Li handed over the agricultural development of Beiqiu to Xuanyuan Yuchuan.

The blue book records the various farms in Beiqiu.

"My brother ordered someone to give it to me and asked me to bring it to you."

"What do you mean?" Hu Luanfei was not stupid and knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Xuanyuan Yuqing said: "My brother probably wants you to help take care of it..."

"Stop!" Hu Luanfei held back his temper and returned the blue book to Xuanyuan Yuqing. "I have so many things to do that I can't spare the time to help Beiqiu manage the farm."

"But if the farm doesn't make good money, my brother might not be able to ascend the throne."

Hu Luanfei's eyes darkened, "That's his business."

"The Emperor is your biological brother. Can you bear to see him fall from the throne of Crown Prince? Mother will not let him go." Xuanyuan Yuqing raised his voice and stood up excitedly.

Hu Luanfei refused to listen, Xuanyuan Yuqing was furious, "My royal brother has had a hard time these years, but he has never forgotten to look for you and Empress Hu. You know, during the holidays, he likes to go to the palace where Empress Hu used to live alone. Although it has become a cold palace, he doesn't mind it, and even, even..."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Yuqing choked up a bit, "The imperial physician said that if my brother doesn't get over it in the next few years, he will become a paranoid man."

Hu Luanfei raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Yuqing, and saw that he was like a three-year-old child. She felt that he was about to cry in the next second.

However, she still couldn't accept it and couldn't empathize with Xuanyuan Yuqing.

Although Xuanyuan Yuchuan is his biological brother, it is difficult for them to connect emotionally because they have not lived together since childhood.

After all, they had only met a few times and were not very familiar with each other. She could help with small things, but she was powerless to handle big things like managing a farm.

"Luan Fei, you are extremely capable. I believe you can cultivate Bei Qiu's farm well."

Hu Luanfei was impatient and did not agree to his request. He got up and walked out of the room, intending to take a walk along the willow bank to relieve his worries, so he slowly went downstairs.

As I was about to leave Zuihua Tower, I saw two people walking, talking and shaking their heads among the crowd on the street.

"The fighting situation in the south and north of the city was intense. The prince led the troops himself. I heard that they encountered spies from Nanqi who disrupted the morale of the troops, and ended up with a series of defeats."

"This is the first time that the prince has led an army. With no experience, it is inevitable that he will suffer a defeat. Coincidentally, it seems that someone in the army has been drugged. If one fails, two will fail, and so will three. If this continues, I am afraid that the gates to the north and south of the city will not be able to be defended."

"Alas, in the end, it is us ordinary people who suffer."

When Hu Luanfei looked hurriedly, he found that the two people were his old friends Gu Lei and Nian Shu, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

"Big brother, second brother, long time no see." Hu Luanfei asked with a smile: "How is sister-in-law recently? Is the escort agency running smoothly?"

Gu Lei and Nian Shu were surprised. They looked at each other and then turned to look at Hu Luanfei: "You are... Hu Luanfei?"

They looked her up and down, and it didn't seem like they were pretending to know her.

Hu Luanfei's eyes twitched slightly, and she smiled unnaturally, "Why are you two brothers looking at me so strangely? Is there something wrong with your face?"

Gu Lei came back to his senses in advance: "Girls change a lot when they grow up, it's like they have become a different person."

Nian Shu echoed, "When I first met her, her unruly personality was likable. When I see her again today, she is no less charming than the noble lady from the palace."

"Is that true?" Hu Luanfei said as he walked side by side with them.

Nian Shu said, "A few days ago, a distinguished guest came to our escort agency. She had a head full of gorgeous pearls and jade, and was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes. Her skin was as white as cream and her teeth were as white as snow. She acted in a dignified manner and ordered us to close the escort agency. When we heard that she was here to challenge us, we were not happy and drove them out."

"How did you know she was from the palace?"

Nian Shu said, "She is followed by many guards with swords. We have people working in the palace."

Speaking of this, Hu Luanfei remembered what he had promised a young eunuch in Beiqiu Palace. He hurriedly took out the things in the space and prepared to ask Nian Shu and the other two to help deliver them to the young eunuch's hometown.

As soon as the package appeared, Nian Shu exclaimed in surprise, "Have you seen the little basket?"

"The little basket is..."

Nian Shu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "It's the eunuchs in the palace, that is, the people I just said are working in the palace. It's just..."

Nian Shu's expression suddenly darkened, and Hu Luanfei knew at a glance that something bad was going to happen. As expected, Nian Shu said, "He's sick again. His family was killed ten years ago and he was sold to the palace to work. We help him store these things every year and lie to him that everything is fine at home."

The package in her hand suddenly became as heavy as a mountain. Thinking of the look of longing for his family on the young eunuch's face when he found the cold palace and entrusted the package to her, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

How painful it would be for the young eunuch to remember that his family members were no longer in this world...
