Everyone has different thoughts about the newly appointed Princess Jialin.

Li Shunquan didn't care what others thought. Since Prince An spoke for Concubine Zhou, he couldn't keep a sullen face anymore.

Although the emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine is not as great as before, Prince An still has some ability. The throne has not yet been decided. Even if the emperor favors Prince Rui more now, who can guess what the emperor is thinking?

Don't jump to conclusions too soon.

Stay on top of being a human being.

Stay away from everything.

These are the lessons Li Shunquan learned after staying in the palace for so many years.

After all, whoever becomes the emperor in the future has nothing to do with him, a eunuch. As long as he doesn't offend anyone too much, the person who will ascend to that position will be so happy that he won't have time to remember an old eunuch like him.

It's not like I'm bored because I'm full.

Li Shunquan thought so, looked at Xie Qian'an and said, "I naturally know that the Imperial Concubine did not mean it, and I will not go to the Emperor to make trouble."

"But the mouth is the source of all trouble. There are so many people here, and the Imperial Concubine must be a little confused. I will try to stop her, so that she won't say anything more inappropriate."

Xie Qi'an heard this and smiled, "What Chief Steward Li said is true. Father has always valued Chief Steward Li very much, and today he came in person to announce the decree."

There was a lot of inquiry in these words.

Li Shunquan's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "Oh, my family is not valued by the emperor. It is our Jialin County Lady who is valued by the emperor. The Jialin County Lady handed over three million taels of silver for disaster relief, which greatly solved the emperor's urgent need."

"The problem the Emperor had been worried about has been solved. He is so pleased. I heard that Princess Jialin has entered the palace today, so I ordered me to find her quickly and read the imperial edict."

Li Shunquan's words were very beautiful. They not only told Xie Qian'an the emperor's reaction, but also complimented Shen Qionghua and fulfilled Xie Nanyuan's wish.

Three birds with one stone.

The imperial edict of enthronement has already come down. Anyway, it is something that can be known with a little inquiry, so Li Shunquan just said it as a favor.

Three million taels of silver...

Everyone present widened their eyes when they heard this astronomical figure, and looked at Shen Qionghua with a hint of surprise.

This amount...even if some of the wealthy families in the capital wanted to come up with it, they would have to spend a lot of money, selling off the family properties, and even some ancestral property to barely get it together.

The Shen family actually took it out so easily, no wonder the emperor actually made the girl from the Shen family the county lord.

Concubine Zhou, Prince An and Lin were even more shocked.

Although they knew that the Shen family was very wealthy, no one knew how much wealth they had. Anyway, seeing that the Shen family's shops in the capital were doing a lot of business, and with the Treasure Pavilion being the biggest patron, they must have a lot of wealth.

But no one expected that the Shen family could easily come up with three million taels of silver for disaster relief. The fact that they could do it so effortlessly showed that the Shen family's wealth must be far more than three million taels of silver.

Concubine Zhou's heart was bleeding. The three million taels of silver she had obtained were gone just like that. Even though she was a noble concubine, it was impossible for her not to be moved.

Lin's eyes were blazing with fire as she stared at Shen Qionghua.

This bitch!

The Shen family was so wealthy, yet they were reluctant to give out even a penny, and they forced the Marquis' Mansion to repay even the tiny bit they had taken.

If she was willing to give out half of her family wealth, they wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to plot against the Shen family, and her brother Xuan wouldn't have died.

It was this bitch who brought her to this situation, but she boarded the ship of King Rui and now became the Princess of Jialin County.

Bah! How could a lowly merchant girl like her be qualified to be a county lady?

And that Lin Wanru, what a bitch, she even dared to hide something from me before, saying that the Shen family is just an ordinary wealthy business family.

Which ordinary wealthy businessman can easily come up with three million taels of silver!

It was a waste of time that I helped her so many times in the boudoir before, what an ungrateful person!

This time, Lin really wronged Lin Wanru. She had been truly devoted to Lin before, telling her everything she knew, and she really didn't know how much wealth the Shen family had.

Lin Wanru's personality is not suitable for business accounting, and Shen's father did not force her, but only handed the key to the warehouse to her.

However, the couple had a very good relationship and would give Lin Wanru some good things every once in a while. Lin Wanru couldn't use them all, so she naturally didn't open the storehouse, and the key was covered in dust.

Later, when Shen Qionghua grew up, her father saw that his daughter was quite interested in managing the shop, so he taught her how to do business, and the key to the warehouse fell into Shen Qionghua's hands.

Lin Wanru was shocked when she heard that her daughter had handed over three million taels of silver. Could it be that Hua Jie'er had handed over all the money of the Shen family?

She was panicked for a moment, and then a sense of relief flashed through her heart.

It's better to pay it. The three of them, an orphan and a widow, own such a huge fortune, which has attracted many covetous people. From now on, they can live a stable life.

Xie Qian'an was undoubtedly the most angry among the group. With three million taels of silver, he could not only arrange the disaster relief work properly, but also make a lot of money from it to expand his own power. Unfortunately...

Xie Qian'an's eyes gradually became sinister, and there was undisguised anger in his eyes as he looked at Shen Qionghua.

Seeing that his usually gentle appearance was finally exposed, Shen Qionghua couldn't help but straighten her chest and the smile on her lips became even bigger.

Li Shunquan looked at Shen Qionghua and said with a smile, "Princess Jialin, you have made great contributions this time. The emperor wants to see you. Come with me."

"Yes, Manager Li." Shen Qionghua took Lin Wanru's hand and followed Li Shunshen.

As they were about to leave the garden, Li Shunquan suddenly paused and turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, didn't the Imperial Concubine just say that she had some important business to attend to?"

"I have finished my business, Your Majesty, please do as you please."

Having said that, he took his people away.

Concubine Zhou: “…”
