Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

"I also know that Your Majesty is very cautious. So what should this Concubine An do? If she really can't make ends meet, I can also..."

"No need, aunt. I have my own property. Today I will give you 50,000 taels of silver. The money for your visit was given by me and Concubine An.

You take 30,000 taels of silver and give it to An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County, to have him settle down well and warn him not to embezzle money!

Liu Hua interrupted Zhen Yunming without hesitation and gave her a solution. An Lingrongrong was short of money, but that didn't mean Liu Hua was short of money.

Just when Liu Hua moved Nian Shilan out of the palace, the gold, silver and treasures left behind by the Nian family in Kyoto that could not be moved amounted to more than two million taels.

This is what Yinzhen meant by that, even if Nian Shilan really had true feelings for him and a marital relationship with him!

The reason why Nian Gengyao had to die was that he was too presumptuous. This could not be changed, and no one knew how many people had died.

By the way, Lin Rulan invested 500,000 taels of silver in himself, and he hasn’t spent even half of it yet.

The amount of silver is too huge and cannot be distributed without a proper reason.

Now is a good time to set up an account while visiting relatives.

"Aunt, just tell them that I'm back and that the Lin family is very happy. Please increase your efforts in distributing porridge and other food.

By the way, the prices of rice and medicine in Jiangnan are high, more than three times higher than those in Beijing, which is also possible.

Especially these merchants, who are still standing at the forefront of the trend, must stock up on goods.

This palace will spend four or five hundred thousand taels of silver. As long as the operation is done properly and the scope of the message is wide enough, it is possible."

Zhen Yun knew that Liu Hua still had not received all the money her husband had given her.

But she had spent some money after all, so how could she easily come up with another four or five hundred thousand taels?

Zhen Yunming was a smart person. She thought about her own family, which was only the maternal clan of Concubine Qian's mother, and she could make money with this name.

Even his own son, who was well-known for his talent and martial arts in Jiangnan, was given a lot of money.

She still failed the exam, but Liu Huayi was a concubine and was pregnant, so she passed the exam on the first try.

What's more, he is in the Liu Mansion in the capital, and he can be known as the "little uncle of the country", so of course he can make money.

Zhen Yunming closed his mouth and said no more. Liu Hua took the mailbox and took out a lot of cute papers in the middle, which were covered with some cartoon patterns.

Even if they were really searched out, no one would think they were valuable. Liu Hua handed so many letters to Zhen Yunming.

"Sister Caihe drew these in my palace last time out of fun. Oh, and Princess Wenyi also drew a few. You can give them to her to play with."

Zhen Yunming took the papers without hiding and handed them to the personal maid who was brought into the palace with him.

The hour hand of the Western clock struck the ground, and the sound was so loud that it made people dizzy.

Liu Hua had not slept all night and was exhausted. He also vomited on the boat. Of course, he was exhausted at the moment.

"This clock is really annoying! It's disturbing the Queen. Why use it to tell time? The sundial in our yard is even better than the clepsydra. Which one isn't a good one?

The customs in Jiangnan are getting weirder and weirder. Foreign things are always popular.

Liu Hua didn't want to say anything more, but since Zhen Yunming cared about him, he had to say a few words verbally. After all, she was his aunt.

After all, what was written in the letter might lead to Lin Rulan being confiscated and his family being exterminated.

"Aunt, please don't say this clock is useless. It runs for a long time. What if the sundial doesn't have the sun? And it's placed outside, which is very inconvenient.

As for the clepsydra, that's even more complicated; it requires water or sand. Furthermore, the small ones can only measure a very short time, which is really troublesome."

Zhen Yunming smiled awkwardly, but he didn't agree in his heart, "What a shabby trick. My Celestial Empire uses these things to buy them for those foreigners out there, and they always snatch them up. Except for the few that sink, every shipload of them is a huge profit."

If they are really capable, why don’t they make these things themselves? They should buy ours.”

It was getting late, and without waiting for Liu Hua to actually order them to leave, Zhen Yunming took her little maid and rode in a sedan chair back to her villa in Jinling City in great style.

I don't know how many kind-hearted merchants envied me. In this dynasty, a merchant's wife could wear the fifth-rank imperial robe, and her husband had no official position, so he could make a living in the local area.

Compared with Zhen Yunming's joy, Liu Hua and An Lingrong always appeared extremely calm.

"Sister, the Emperor is truly a man who fears ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. Although your aunt has received a fifth-rank imperial decree, your uncle has no official position at all.

And your father was promoted from Lingguan to Zuoling, but he was only a fourth-rank official.

Liu Hua was happy that Yinzhen did this. After all, Hongli would be the future successor to the throne, and as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he would win.

Why bother pursuing short-term gains and giving yourself a handle to be caught by others? Liu Man is also a little greedy for power.

Of course, Liu Wentao was able to become the Minister of State because Yinzhen saw that he was indeed capable, and because of the last incident with the bandits in Ganlu Temple.

As for the real purpose, Liu Hua thought it was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than to stir up the feud between Chujifu and Longkodo.

"Okay, Lingrong, let's not talk about this for now. My father is still okay, but as for your father, you have to discipline him properly!"

An Lingrong took a deep breath. She knew that she would not have much filial piety towards her father.

The concubine An Bihuai married gave birth to three or four sons for him, some of whom were filial to him.

"I understand, sister. He treated my mother this way without any affection."

At this time, in the courtyard where Tong Jia Yunrong lived, "Qingyun, tell me again, my mother wants to divorce my father. What is she thinking?"

Qingyun and Taxue knelt on the ground together, not daring to breathe. Tong Jia Yunrong was extremely angry at this time.

"I'm being ostracized by so many people outside the palace. I have to be wary of the Empress, the Empress Dowager, Consort Qian, and even the Emperor!

My mother played a trick on me. If we really divorce, what will happen to my reputation? Will my father truly support me?

What on earth does my mother want to do? Is she crazy?

Even in the palace in Jinling City, Tong Jia Yunrong did not dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting attention, and could only shout in a low voice.

Tong Jia Yunrong threw the letter on the ground and motioned Qingyun and Taxue to read it and give her some advice.

Taxue read the letter with his body tilted sideways, feeling deeply saddened.

Hesheli, who used to be adorned with jewels and noble status and could easily kill others, was actually beaten by a concubine.

Not only did she beat her, she couldn't even deal with Concubine Li, and Longkodo was still protecting Concubine Li.

What makes people think it is a fairy tale is that Aunt Li said in public that she wanted to turn Hesheli into a human pig!

Of course, at this moment Qingyun and Taxue always thought that Aunt Li was speaking harshly.

Qingyun was confident in her medical skills and did not want to offer advice to Tong Jia Yunrong at this time. After all, this was a matter concerning the inner residence of the Tong Mansion. If she offended Longkodo or if the effect was not good, Tong Jia Yunrong would cause trouble for her.

There is no way to walk in the snow, someone has to talk to you. This thankless task can only be done by yourself.

"Your Highness, please write a letter to comfort Madam and tell her not to overthink it.

This Li Si'er is a bit too bold, you might as well send a nanny to teach her some manners.

Taxue thought again that Hesheli loved power very much and would definitely not lose her status as a noble lady and truly divorce Longkodo.

She just wanted to suppress Aunt Li's arrogance. After all, Aunt Li was just a maid who held the curtains in Hesheli's family.

But Longkodo loved her very much, and she even gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

What Tong Jia Yunrong was most dissatisfied with was not the son born to Cun Si'er. After all, her son was only a concubine's son, and he could inherit very little.

But the second daughter was born. No other daughter had the right of inheritance, and her status depended on her father's ability.

Just like when Empress Xiaoyi Ren's concubine's sister entered the palace, she was immediately made a concubine and enjoyed the treatment of a noble concubine. This was because Tong Guowei was so powerful.

Now she is still the Imperial Noble Concubine Dowager and lives a comfortable life. No one dares to look down on her. She is much better off than Concubine Shu who left the palace to become a monk.

Tong Jia Yunrong was extremely afraid that Yinzhen or Wuya Chengbi would poison her like Nian Shilan.

First, she was afraid that she would end up like Nian Shilan, and second, she was afraid that her sister would take over and become the overlord over her.

This was what Tong Jia Yunrong could not tolerate the most. She was the only daughter in the Tong family, but now she had a younger sister, who was born to her father's most favored woman.

It has long been a thorn in Tong Jia Yunrong's heart and a thorn in her eyes.

"Then let's send a nanny who used to teach concubines in Chuxiu Palace over there and have her teach Li Si'er some good manners.

If you do not do well or behave rudely, you will be punished! "

"Yes, Madam, please be at ease. Li Si'er will not be able to do anything wrong."

Qingyun rushed ahead to step on the snow to reassure Tong Jia Yunrong.

The sound of banging outside was deafening, and Tong Jia Yunrong became very impatient.

"An Lingrong is fine, but she usually invites her mother to the palace countless times. Now she's going to Jiangnan and even has to go back to her mother's family. How can this be called a visit to her parents?"

"Isn't that easy to guess? It's just that he hasn't seen anything good before and wants to show off.

The whole world thought she was very favored, but in fact she was just a clown.

Qingyun is the best at talking and loves to please Tong Jia Yunrong the most.

On the other hand, Taxue next to him was very good-looking, but he just stood there with a dull expression on his face, which was totally against Tong Jia Yunrong's will.

When Yinzhen came to Tongjia Yunrong's courtyard, Tongjia Yunrong thought of letting Taxue serve him, so that she could cultivate her own person in the palace instead of supporting Huanbi, a slave who had betrayed several masters.

But Taxue was really "uncooperative". No matter how many times he hinted at it, both openly and covertly, she still kept silent.

She would avoid Yinzhen whenever possible and did not try to fawn on him like other palace maids.

If Taxue really didn't come out to ask Tongjia Yunrong to introduce her, Longkodo would really use this as an excuse to push her half-sister out to inherit Tongjia Yunrong's favor.

After all, there are two people in the palace, and there are people with good artistic skills as backup, so it is impossible that there will be no prince.

Unfortunately, Tong Jia Yunrong did not understand Longkodo's painstaking efforts for the family's honor. She only felt that not only did he disgust the Hesheli family, but he also disgusted herself.

Tong Jia Yunrong turned the amber circle in her hand, thinking that Yinzhen had two low-ranking concubines, Fu Rujin and Fang Chunyi, beside him at this time.

Liu Hua and An Lingrong have just left the palace. If we don’t send someone in now, when will we send someone in? Will we wait until Liu Hua is sent in first?

You have to strike first in everything. This is Tong Jia Yunrong's code of conduct. That is why she did a series of things to bring Li Jingyan down before she even entered the palace.

"Taxue, I have a good opportunity here, are you willing? Then you will no longer be a slave.

I remember you asked me a few days ago to find someone to look for plum blossoms. If you agree to my request, I will agree to your request this time.

Tong Jia. Yunrong tried to persuade him slowly and skillfully, but he didn't get on the right track in the snow.

First of all, she did not know the specific relationship between her and Xunmei, whom her mother mentioned before her death, so it was impossible for her to be involved in the real turmoil in the harem, and she would most likely end up being killed without a burial place.

Furthermore, being a commoner's wife is much better than being an official girl or a concubine to Yinzhen. After all, money is tight in the palace now, and official girls and concubines are really squeezed.

Not to mention that a fight that could break out at any time could use their lives as bait.

Taxue kowtowed to Tong Jia Yunrong several times, and successfully broke his head as he had imagined.

When she raised her head, blood was flowing down her nose and then sliding down to her chest.

Taxue just looked at Tong Jia Yunrong sitting there quietly, without any words, but expressing his resistance with actions.

Tong Jia Yunrong sneered, grabbed Taxue's neck with one hand, and pressed a handkerchief on the wound with the other hand.

Blood burst out instantly, dyeing the handkerchief woven with Shu brocade and silver thread red. Taxue finally made a sound, crying like a young animal.

She was twitching in pain, but she didn't dare to move Tong Jia Yunrong's hand away, as that would be disrespectful.

Qingyun took out his handkerchief from his waist and wiped the bloodstains that were about to drip onto Tong Jia Yunrong's clothes.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, why bother getting angry with her? I said she is not worthy of the high platform and cannot compare to the relationship between you and me.

The Empress is so good to her, but she is timid and afraid of things and cannot do anything for the Empress. She is really ungrateful.

The queen should dress up and go out with her, and not let her be an eyesore.

Tong Jia Yunrong sneered, let go of her hand, and looked down with contempt at Taxue who was holding her neck and breathing heavily.

"Go away! I brought you into the palace. If I mistreat you, people will gossip about you.

But we have to punish you. From today on, all your food will be reduced by half.

Qingyun, keep a close eye on her and make sure she speaks well."

Taxue walked out alone and curled up in the corner of the toilet, blood dripping down along with her tears.

At this moment, she couldn't go back to her and Qingyun's small room, otherwise if others saw her, they would accuse Tong Jia Yunrong of abuse.

Most of the palace maids were born in the Eight Banners, and the concubines were not allowed to beat or scold them at will, as this would make them appear vulgar and unkind.

Taxuezi would not be openly criticized by Tong Jia Yunrong, but would only be greeted with her leniency and criticism.

Taxue couldn't resist, she was thinking about what would happen after she left the palace...
