When Yu Minzhong stepped into the Buddhist temple in the ancient city of Yangzhou, he understood the principle that the Buddha's body must be made of gold.

The temple gate is tall and solemn, and the vermilion door panels are inlaid with golden rivets, shining with the light of time.

Two majestic stone lions stand in front of the door, with their heads held high and chests puffed out.

The two Buddhist children in front of the temple gate saw that he looked like a wealthy young man and hurried to greet him.

As you enter the temple, a bluestone path winds forward, with towering ancient trees on both sides. Even in winter, the lush branches and leaves are interwoven into a green sky, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing coolness and the fragrance of grass and trees, which indeed seemed like the atmosphere of spiritual practice.

It would be even better if there were no monks trying so hard to sell their lucky bags.

Three quarters of an hour later, Yu Minzhong donated three hundred taels of money for incense offerings, and then he sat down with the monks in person with a solemn expression.

They began to discuss what Hongli had instructed. After the monks kissed each other, they were both afraid and excited.

The old abbot spoke to Tong Jia Yunrong only to collect enough incense money.

Many ladies want to hear one or two auspicious words, so the abbot's words are also very valuable.

However, Yu Minzhong wanted to ruin Tong Jia Yunrong's reputation, so the old abbot was trembling with fear and dared not speak.

"Everyone, it was said that Concubine Chang was pregnant with a dragon, but after observing the celestial phenomena, I don't think this is evil."

Hongli took bigger steps and became more and more daring. He even secretly instructed his men to bribe these monks to spread rumors that the child in Tongjia Yunrong's belly was born out of resentment.

Not only that, according to Yu Minzhong, this resentment also came from the sins committed by his grandfather, and would even implicate other royal heirs, preventing them from giving birth smoothly.

How many monks are truly devoted to Buddhism? Most of them just do it to make a living.

If I don't agree to Hongli's request today, I might not even be able to see his complete body tomorrow.

The most important thing is that the baby in Tong Jia Yunrong's belly has not been born yet. Even if it is born, the observation period will take ten years. How can it compare to Hongbu who is almost an adult?

"You're joking, young master. We all know what Longkodo has done.

The dragon heir in Concubine Chang's belly was indeed not good, and she gave birth smoothly.

Yu Minzhong smiled triumphantly, while Liu Hua frowned and thought hard.

"You said these monks' offer is really good. The emperor only gave us 800 taels, but they quoted 2,000 taels."

An Lingrong was not surprised by such things. She was still working for her superiors, so why should she have to eat the soup?

"Let's give him some subsidies. The key is that my sister is worried that the money will be used without any cleanliness."

As An Lingrong finished speaking, Dongli beside her took out a few visiting cards from a pile and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, these are the visiting cards sent a few days ago, and there are some merchants."

"How can this be? The things sent from the palace were all accounted for at the beginning, and the emperor didn't ask for them back, but after all, they are in his hands. How can I take them and use them casually?"

Yinzhen has been really short of money lately and is going crazy. He took the gift from Liu Hua but didn't do anything for him.

The key point is that if others are dissatisfied, they can only be blamed on Liu Hua.

Using Liu Hua as a shield, how great is the emperor's grace.

Little did they know that this was the price Yinzhen had set for Liu Hua's position as a noble concubine.

An Lingrong put all the visiting cards into her arms, took out one and looked at it carefully.

Then he smiled and said, "If you ask me, what these monks are saying is nothing more than asking for money for accommodation. The emperor is staying in Jinling, and the room rates of various inns have risen sharply. I wonder how many scholars are vainly seeking the emperor's favor.

They're staying for seven days straight, and the room and board fee is 800 taels. I remember my sister's aunt is in Jinling, but she has two other residences. Why not requisition them?"

An Lingrong's method was impeccable. If those monks could really live in those two villas, it would also add a large sum of money to the Lin family.

After all, it is a great merit if it is the place where the monk who prayed for the emperor's dragon sea bream lives.

Liu Hua was also secretly shocked. Recently, the story of "Dragon's Fragrance" had been spread among the young eunuchs.

If you really look at it in detail, it's extremely disgusting. The emperor's feces was mixed with some spices, dried and sold outside, and it actually became an expensive tonic.

When he was caught yesterday, Liu Hua felt that his eyes were contaminated.

However, the emperor's majesty can be seen from this. As long as you are an emperor, everyone loves you wherever you go.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Liu Hua would of course wholeheartedly support something that would benefit both parties and could also increase the value of the product.

As soon as one problem is solved, another one arises.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Forbidden City are urging us again."

An Lingrong chuckled, "The concubines in the Forbidden City miss the Emperor so much."

Liu Hua casually agreed, "Indeed, the Empress Dowager had a headache, the Empress had a migraine. Concubine Hui had an unstable pregnancy, and Concubine Ning's sixth prince caught a cold and nearly died. One thing after another, one after another."

Liu Hua didn't want to have to worry about it alone. If Yinzhen didn't have to worry about his concubines, Liu Hua would feel uncomfortable.

It was thrown casually, and Xiao Lianzi cleverly took it and said with great tact: "Slave, I will send it to the emperor right away. The emperor also misses the queen mother and the queen very much."

This sentence about missing the queen so much is really laughable. Yinzhen knew very well that it was Yixiu who killed Rouze.

It's just that there is no evidence, and Wuya Chengbi protects Yixiu and turns a blind eye.

Liu Hua tapped the edge of the rosewood table lightly with his hands and leaned back on the couch.

She didn't want to kill Tong Jia Yunrong, but she kept attacking her.

Whether it was the mung bean soup or the poisoning plan, she had a part in it, not to mention the assassination at Ganlu Temple.

Liu's eldest grandson died at her hands, and his eldest wife was also cursed.

Even though Liu Hua tried to suppress her again and again, there were always some gossipy women and corrupt scholars in the Forbidden City who forced Guaerjia Wenxiu to commit suicide immediately to prove her innocence.

What bothered Liu Hua the most was that most of these people were Hongli's followers.

In order to protect his reputation from any tarnishment, Hongli really took great pains.

Work made Liu Hua tired, and beautiful women were able to comfort her soul.

An Lingrong covered Liu Hua's eyes with her hands, and the familiar atmosphere was ignited again. Xiao Yunzi and Dongli withdrew very tactfully.

"Sister, are you tired?"

"I'm so tired." Liu Hua held An Lingrong's hand and opened it. She still had many account books to look at.

But I can't stand being raped in broad daylight.

An Lingrong was not what she wanted. She changed her position and a beautiful figure appeared on the account book on the table.

“Will we ever be done?”

The soft and boneless voice rushed into Liu Hua's eardrums. This sentence was full of profound meaning, and Liu Hua was very clear about it.

However, Liu Hua was not sure of the answer.
