After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

But Princess Zhaohua's intention was already clear.

"One hundred thousand taels, no more..." Yang Ruoyun murmured with red eyes, "My mother gave me this much before I left..."

She will have no money if she wants more!

"Ahem..." Zhong Ning coughed lightly, "Well, this is something you gave to me on your own initiative, I didn't ask you for it!"

Yang Ruoyun nodded vigorously. It was indeed her who gave it on her own initiative.

"Good boy, don't worry, I will definitely not choose your cousin...but..." Zhong Ning was a little embarrassed:

"As you know, Prime Minister Gu is so powerful that even my father has to give him some face. If he can't restrain his own son and takes the initiative to ask for permission to marry the princess, even I will be helpless... What should I do?"

She had to first tell everyone what might happen. If such a day really came, it wouldn't be considered as her breaking her promise.

Yang Ruoyun immediately responded, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Your uncle won't do that. To be honest, my cousin was recently severely punished by my uncle for wanting to marry the princess, and he was even put in solitary confinement..."

Oh no wonder!

No wonder Gu Mingzhe suddenly fell ill recently.

No wonder this cousin from Prime Minister Gu's mansion came here to stop her carriage.

"Even if that day really comes, I will have no choice but to accept my fate. The princess can't be blamed for this..." Yang Ruoyun lowered her head silently, looking a little hurt.

Like an abandoned kitten.

Zhong Ning couldn't help it, stretched out a hand from the car window and gently touched her head twice.

Yang Ruoyun felt the comfort from Her Royal Highness the Princess and couldn't help but feel moved. She had bumped into the princess's car, but Her Royal Highness not only did not blame her, but instead comforted her.

She kept in mind all the words that educated her.

Just as he was feeling moved, he suddenly heard Zhong Ning's cold and ruthless voice: "You should give me the banknote!"

Yang Ruoyun:.........

She shouldn't be so moved!

Yang Ruoyun took out a purse with a Ruyi lotus pattern from her body and took out three silver bills with a face value of one thousand from it.

Then he handed it to the car window and said, "This is all I have with me at the moment. The rest is still in the Prime Minister's residence. I will send it to His Highness tomorrow..."

After Yang Ruoyun finished speaking, she felt something was not right and quickly added, "Then Your Highness must remember..."

"Don't worry, I will write to my father and ask him to postpone the selection of a consort for a while. The Spring Examination will be held in three months, and all the talented people in the world will gather in Kyoto. My father will definitely let me choose a consort."

"I'll give you three months. If you can't take down your cousin during this time, it won't be my fault anymore!"

"Of course, what I said is just my own opinion."

"But if it was Minister Gu who took the initiative to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, then it would not be an order that I could resist. By then, you will have let it go!"

"Life is more than just about love and marriage. You're rich and handsome, so you can find any man in the world. You don't have to be a son of the Gu family!"

After hearing Zhong Ning's answer, Yang Ruoyun fell into deep thought.

She automatically ignored Zhong Ning's advice later and only remembered the previous words about taking down her cousin in three months.

But suddenly she remembered that her uncle and aunt were going to see her off. "Your Highness, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I am afraid I won't be able to stay in the Prime Minister's Residence for long..."

"That's fine. When you come to my house tomorrow, I'll send someone to take you back when you leave. I'll tell the Prime Minister's Office that I admire Miss Yang very much and hope you'll stay in Kyoto for a while."

"In this case, I believe the Prime Minister's wife will be willing to give me this honor."

"As for the banknotes you mentioned about giving to me..." Zhong Ning stretched out his words, and Yang Ruoyun immediately expressed her opinion, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will come to your door in person tomorrow with the banknotes!

"Well, you're a good person," Zhong Ning said with a satisfied smile. "I won't take advantage of you either. I'm planning to start a drama club soon, so I'll give you three stock options. Then we can all make money together!"

Yang Ruoyun:.........

What drama club?

She couldn't understand.

However, she had never thought about asking Princess Zhaohua to give her anything. As long as she did not take the initiative to choose her cousin as her husband, she would be satisfied.

As for the rest, whatever she says is what it is!

"Thank you, Your Highness! I'm sorry to bother you. I will visit you tomorrow!" After saying that, Yang Ruoyun bowed again.

"Ah."

Zhong Ning lowered the window and ordered the carriage to continue moving forward.

Yang Ruoyun respectfully saw the convoy off and watched the carriages move farther and farther away from her until they turned the corner and she could no longer see any trace of the carriages.

But she still stood there and didn't leave for a long time.

A maidservant beside her came forward and exclaimed, "Miss, that Princess Zhaohua is truly a good person!"

Yang Ruoyun nodded slightly.

Before this, she had only heard of Princess Zhaohua's reputation, but had never had the opportunity to meet her. However, she had heard earlier that this princess came from the common people, had a very good temper, and was very caring towards Lord Xiaofang from the same city.

Now, she has successfully hooked up with Princess Zhaohua by using her cousin's affairs.

Although it cost some money.

But many times, as a low-level merchant, wanting to get close to the powerful is truly a pipe dream.

Even though she was the niece of Prime Minister Gu, few noble ladies in the capital looked up to her.

But it’s different when you’re with Princess Zhaohua.

Anyone that the princess values ​​will be looked up to by the world, even if he comes from a merchant family.

Even if she has no chance to be with her cousin in the future, the fact that the princess values ​​this fact alone can greatly increase her value.

Today, she successfully hooked up with the princess and stood on her side.

Even if her mother knew, she would praise her, right?

Yang Ruoyun took a deep breath, thinking that today's trip was not in vain.

This time, she finally won the bet.

Princess Zhaohua came from the common people and had a compassionate heart.

Just from the fact that she opened a free school for the slaves in the mansion, it can be seen that she now appears as a lovesick woman, leaving the other party with the image of an ignorant girl trapped in love.

The other party was indeed soft-hearted towards him.

From today onwards, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion will dare to point fingers at her. With Princess Zhaohua as her protection, who would dare to look down on her?

In the carriage, Su Xin and Jing Xin looked at the three silver notes in Zhong Ning's hand, as well as the nearly 100,000 taels of silver notes that had not yet arrived, and sighed sincerely: "Your Highness, that Miss Yang is too..."

Easy to fool, right?

But they dared not say these words out loud.

Zhong Ning raised her head and glanced at them. "I didn't lie to her. All she asked was that I not choose her cousin. I have already agreed."

"But you have also seen that I may not have the final say in my marriage. If the emperor forces the marriage, I dare not disobey."

"But I can postpone her selection of a consort for a while. If she fails to win Gu Mingzhe within the limited time, that's her own problem!"

"She did it all voluntarily!"

"I didn't force her!"
