Luo Shumin also noticed this. There was not even a palace maid cleaning the area.

She stopped and said loudly, "What the hell is this place! Why don't I live in the front?"

Cai Xin turned around, her smile brightly on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Luo Cainu doesn't know that the main seat of Qixiang Palace belongs to our first-rank Consort Xianfei.

You are just an eighth-rank concubine. We arranged you here because we are worried that you might offend our queen!"

"You! Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out and hold you accountable?"

Cai Xin's smile became brighter: "Do you think His Majesty will still remember you?"

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking towards the back of the side hall, and stopped in front of a row of side rooms.

She pointed to a row of four wing doors with peeling paint and said, "You can choose any of these four wing doors to stay in.

I will show you two maids in a moment. They will live next to you."

Cai Xin looked at the two maids again: "I wonder if the two maids are willing to stay with Luo Cai Nu..."

Before she could finish, the two maids shook their heads and said, "We have work to do in Fangli Garden. It was also Eunuch Quan's order that we served Luo Cainu for one night.

We dare not delay our mission, so we will return to Fangli Garden immediately."

After Cai Xin brought the person here, she ignored Luo Shumin and turned to walk out.

The two maids didn't want to stay in this cold palace-like place any longer, so they trotted to catch up with Cai Xin and left.

Luo Shumin looked at the yard where there was not even a ghost in sight, and the three people who seemed to be fleeing, and shouted at their backs.

"You left me here all alone! This is outrageous! This is too much!"

They did not stop because of Luo Shumin's words.

After a while, they turned a corner and the figures of the three people completely disappeared behind the corner.

Luo Shumin had worked hard last night and was now extremely sore all over. She had nothing with her except two sets of clothes.

Alone in this empty and gloomy courtyard, she began to regret for the first time: if only she had not followed her cousin into the palace.

Inside the main hall, Concubine Xian’s eyes were still dark, but her face was no longer as furious as it had been the night before.

Two eunuchs from the inner storehouse stood in the hall, reporting to Concubine Xian about the losses in the palace last night.

"In reply to your Majesty, two sets of cups and plates were also lost in Yuehua Palace last night."

The virtuous concubine uttered an unpleasant “hmm”.

Another eunuch immediately changed his words: "Last night, only two sets of cups were lost in Yuehua Palace, and the rest were reported to be lost this morning by Concubine Qing, Concubine Fang, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yu, and Chang Baolin.

Oh, and there is Cui Cainu who entered the palace a month ago."

"Is she the Cui Cainu from Lin'an who kidnapped your Majesty?"

The two eunuchs were sweating profusely.

If Cui Cainu had not been in the palace only a short time ago and was not pregnant yet, the emperor would not have wanted to avoid criticism from the harem and the court, so he would not have raised her position immediately.

But Concubine Xian already knew about this matter - the emperor wanted Concubine Xian to find an opportunity to promote Cui Cainu.

The two of them regretted in their hearts. No wonder the older eunuchs did not rush to the virtuous concubine's palace to show their courtesy today.

It turns out that they all know that this job is not an easy one!

The eunuch smiled and said, "It is Cui Cainu. She is spoiled by her favor and feels that living with Tian Baolin is too crowded, so she often complains in the courtyard!"

There was a flicker in Concubine Xian's eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her in an instant.

“Since she complains about not having enough space to live here, let her move to my Qixiang Palace.

This place is spacious, it can definitely accommodate her big Buddha statue!"

"This……"

Cold sweat broke out on the eunuch's forehead and he didn't know how to answer.

The eunuch next to him bumped into him secretly and replied, "Yes! I will follow the Queen's order."

The two left the main hall together.

He walked a long way and made sure that no one in Qixiang Palace could hear him.

"Why did you agree to this? How are we going to explain this to the eunuch in charge when we get back?"

The other person didn't care at all: "What's there to tell? The virtuous concubine insisted on making this arrangement, so we just need to pass on the message.

I don't care when or how Cui Cainu moves. "

"Good brother! You are really smart!"

The two of them got together and trotted back to report.

The virtuous concubine did not know that the two eunuchs were going to pretend to obey and do things perfunctorily.

At this time, Caiju was also trying to persuade Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, moving the palace is no small matter! Why are you going through all this trouble?"

"Doesn't your majesty favor that little girl Cui? Cui also feels that the room in Tian Baolin's courtyard is too small, so let her live with Luo Cainu from yesterday.

Since both of them are concubines, we can be equals, so that people won’t always say that I’m not fair.”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful."

"Okay, stop flattering me.

Did my second sister-in-law send a sign to the palace? Why didn’t I see my second sister-in-law at the palace banquet last night? "

"Your Majesty forgot that Director Guo was reprimanded by His Majesty and is confined at home to reflect on his mistakes. He was not invited to the palace banquet yesterday."

The virtuous concubine's eyes were slightly red: "When has my second brother ever been wronged like this?"

Caiju didn't know how to respond to this. In the end, it was all the Second Prince's fault.

She could only shut up, nod and stand aside.

Fortunately, Concubine Xian was only sad for a while. She quickly cheered up and told Caiju: "Write a letter to my second sister-in-law and ask her to pass the card into the palace."

Despite the big commotion in the palace, it did not affect Yan Yuanhao and Gu Yanning at all.

The two of them stayed in their respective courtyards, with their doors closed, not asking about what was happening outside.

Lu Jiao did some calculations.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

She lent Yan Yuanhao 80,000 taels of silver, plus 20,000 taels to Lu Wei for daily expenses of the people in southern Yunnan. She also spent nearly 120,000 taels of silver on buying shops and houses, a total of nearly 220,000 taels.

In this way, the silver bills in the space were sorted out, and there were still more than one million taels.

The bulk of the money was collected from the private vaults of several masters of the Guo family and the private vault of my stepfather.

The best farmland near the capital costs about twenty taels per acre. Medium and lower-quality farmland are cheaper, but not less than ten taels per acre.

By this calculation, if all the top-quality farmland is purchased, more than 3,000 hectares of land can be purchased. How much grain can be produced every year?

Even if she eats as much as she wants every day, she still can't finish it!

She laughed "hehehe" several times, which made Chen Wen feel a little uneasy.

"Sir, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Jiao immediately put away the expression on his face and said stubbornly, "I'm not laughing!"

But the corners of his mouth were curled up wildly and he couldn't suppress them.

Chen Wen could see it, he was just pretending to be stupid.

He seemed to believe Lu Jiao's words, nodded, and continued to pack Lu Ze's clothes.

Lu Jiao cleared his throat and said seriously, "I have to go out for two days, and I have already told the prince.

If the prince has something urgent to talk to me about, just go to the northeast corner of the garden, next to the thickest willow tree, and walk around the tree three times, and I will know. "

Chen Wen looked suspicious, this was not something a normal person would do!

But since the young master had instructed him to do so, he could only do as he was told.
