"Something is not right."
When Her Royal Highness was leaving, she suddenly turned around and looked at Li Yi with a sharp look in her eyes.
I just said a few more words. Li Yi was very thirsty, holding a pot of tea and drinking it. Hearing this, he put down the teapot and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her Royal Highness showed a thoughtful look on her face, and said, "You usually avoid things when you encounter them, and you can say less and never say a word more. Why are you so attentive this time? There must be something strange."
Looking at Li Mingzhu's slightly suspicious eyes, Li Yi wanted to throw the teapot in his hand.
I TM..., I just said a few more words, what's strange about it, can there be any intentions against you?
If you were the eldest prince instead of the eldest princess, I wouldn't have to do these things and say these words, I'm so bored!
Risking the court to check the water meter, helping to promote the new marriage law, staying up late to write scripts, and even getting two pimples on my face, I have to buy water army to fan the flames and create public opinion------doing all this, is it easy for me!
Selling perfume and underwear is so good, but you have nothing better to do than to care about whether the women in the world are happy in marriage, whether they are independent in thought, and whether they are awakened in struggle...
This conscienceless guy, he doesn't even look at who has given the benefits, but just casually showed his knife in the court, earned fame and money, and when the two assumptions he just said become reality, he still doesn't know what she will get, and now he actually doubts what he has other intentions?
Without me, she is still under house arrest!
"Xiaohuan, send her away!"
Li Yi lay back on the chair, extremely disappointed, and never looked at her again, and told the little maid. [△网WwW.]
The little maid stared blankly in front of her, that's the princess, how can I send her away?
…
"Mingzhu wants to open a girls' school?" Emperor Jing turned his head and looked at her, then shook his head and said, "If it is as the queen said, the scale of this girls' school is really rare in the world, and it can be called another Imperial College. The national treasury has been tight, but there is no extra money for her to toss so much."
Although girls' schools are not common among the people, they are indispensable for those scholarly and wealthy families.
Girls in the family must enter girls' schools when they are young. In addition to playing chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and classics, "Nu Jian" and "Nu Xun" about women's virtues, women's duties and boudoir etiquette are also required.
Mingzhu has been thinking about doing something for women these days. He is not surprised that she wants to open a girls' school. However, if she follows her idea, it will cost a lot of money. The national treasury is already tight, and it is impossible to use money for these things.
The queen placed a bowl of soup on the table in front of Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty guessed wrong this time. Mingzhu didn't think of taking money from the treasury."
Emperor Jing asked in confusion, "Without an investment of 100,000 taels of silver, this matter would be difficult to accomplish. Where would she get this money from?"
The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what the most profitable business in Kyoto is now?"
Emperor Jing drank a sip of soup and turned to look at her. He had to deal with countless government affairs every day, so how could he have the energy to care about these things?
"It's perfume." The Queen looked at him and said, "From concubines to maids in the palace, even a few little princesses are using perfume. It is very popular outside the palace. Every time a new product is released, it will set off a trend among the noble ladies in the city. Your Majesty, do you know how much this inch-high bottle of perfume will sell for?"
Emperor Jing shook his head. Li Yi said that he couldn't smell the smell of perfume, so the maids who served him were not allowed to use that thing, and the Queen never used it. He didn't know much about it.
"Ten taels of silver." The Queen shook her head and looked at him and said, "One bottle is ten taels of silver. Even so, there are still countless people rushing to buy it. What's more, perfume is just one of Mingzhu's industries. The profits of soap and liquor are not inferior to perfume. To be honest, I don't know how much Mingzhu is worth now."
Emperor Jing was surprised and said, "These things have such a big profit. In just half a year, she can easily take out 100,000 taels of silver?"
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. You have to know that the tax revenue of Jingguo in a year is only 10 million taels of silver. There have been disasters in many places in the past two years. The tax revenue last year was only 8 million taels of silver. Mingzhu alone has a fortune of 100,000 or even more in such a short time. It is a bit unbelievable.
"This is all thanks to your majesty, Li Xianbo." The queen smiled and said, "Not only Mingzhu, Xuan'er has made a lot of money in the past six months. I have received a lot of tributes from them these days..."
"He doesn't want to be a good county magistrate, but he learns to do those profit-seeking things like a businessman..." Emperor Jing shook his head and asked, "What has Li Yi been doing these days?"
Changde's figure appeared behind him and said, "Your majesty, Li Xianbo has been traveling around with the two princesses these days."
"What else?" Seeing that Changde didn't speak again after saying one sentence, Emperor Jing looked back at him and asked after a while.
"Your majesty, there is nothing else." Changde shook his head and said.
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "He only plays with Yongning and Shouning every day?"
Changde nodded and said, "Li Xianbo said that this is to relax Princess Yongning and help her condition."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said helplessly: "I don't know where he learned his medical skills. Although it seems absurd, it is also effective, that's all..."
Changde thought for a while and then said: "Li Xianzi also said that because His Majesty called Princess Yongning into the palace twice and interrupted the treatment, ten more days of treatment are needed..."
"Cure?" Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that because His Majesty summoned the princess to the palace for three days, the princess will stay in County Uncle Li's house for ten more days." Chang De said.
"Nonsense!" Emperor Jing slapped the table and said, "You are joking. You said two months is two months, not a day more, not a day less. You actually blame me for summoning Yongning into the palace. Why, I can't Have you met your daughter?”
Changde sighed and said: "County Uncle Li said that these last ten days are crucial. If something goes wrong, all the previous efforts may be wasted, and Her Royal Highness the Princess may become what she was before."
When Emperor Jing heard this, his body trembled slightly.
How could he forget that demented expression and empty eyes? After being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten days, that's all, just ten days..."
Thinking of another thing, Emperor Jing suddenly asked: "Where has Shouning gone? Why haven't I seen her in the past few days?"
Changde pondered for a moment and then said: "Didn't His Majesty make a decree that Princess Shouning can leave the palace these days?"
Only then did Emperor Jing think of the fact that the girl Shouning had been acting up and threatening to go on a hunger strike. He only agreed to her when he had a headache. In the past two months, he could go out of the palace to see Yongning. Could it be that she had to go every day?
A moment later, an angry voice came from the Qinzheng Hall.
"It's not enough to kidnap one of my daughters. Do you want to kidnap another one?"
