The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

The old emperor gently touched Concubine Wen lovingly.

"It was my lack of consideration that caused my concubine to be wronged. Tomorrow morning I will definitely issue an order in accordance with my concubine's wishes."

Concubine Wen's moved eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe that my brother's spirit in heaven will rest in peace after hearing Your Majesty's promise."

The next day.

When Gu Wangshu woke up, he saw Qiuchi adding charcoal to the brazier.

She moved and sat up from the bed. Qiu Chi heard the noise and looked over, and saw his young lady sitting on the head of the bed.

"Miss, wake up."

"Well, has it stopped snowing?"

Gu Wangshu remembered that it had snowed for three days and three nights. Today was already the fourth day and the snow should have stopped.

Sure enough, Qiu Chi smiled and said:

"It stopped at night. The weather today is good, although it is a bit cold, but fortunately there is no wind."

"Would you like to get up, miss? Breakfast is ready."

Gu Wangshu thought for a while and decided to get up. After breakfast, he could go to Cijing Hall to pay his respects to his grandmother.

Qiu Chi helped Gu Wangshu wash up very quickly. After washing up and having some breakfast, Gu Wangshu took Qiu Chi to Cijing Hall.

Unexpectedly, they met Meng Ying and Zisu halfway.

Meng Ying was covered in thick fox fur and was not in a wheelchair. She was supported by Zi Su and walked towards Cijing Hall.

Her speed was really slow, and she was caught up by Gu Wangshu after a while.

Seeing Gu Wangshu, Meng Ying's face suddenly overflowed with a smile.

"Is Xiaoshu also going to Cijing Hall to pay his respects to my great-aunt?"

"Yeah." Gu Wangshu responded lightly. After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?"

Seeing that she cared about him, Meng Ying smiled even more happily.

"My legs won't hurt anymore if I sleep on the hot bed you designed every day."

Gu Wangshu didn't believe why he was walking as slowly as a snail since it didn't hurt.

She didn't expose Meng Ying's disguise.

"That's good, but for the sake of your legs, you still need to use a wheelchair to get in and out."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The atmosphere between the two of them has become a lot more harmonious because of the "candied haws Lu incident" a few days ago.

When the two appeared in front of the old lady together, the old lady's face was filled with joy.

Gu Wangshu and Meng Ying greeted the old lady and chatted with her about daily life.

About a stick of incense later, Gu Chengfeng, who was going to court, also came to Cijing Hall.

He didn't look good today. When the old lady saw this, she asked what happened.

Gu Chengfeng didn't know why the old emperor was so crazy. In front of the civil and military ministers, he scoffed at the right prime minister Wang Hanbo, not sparing any face for the prime minister.

When the next court was approaching, the old emperor suddenly announced that Zhou Ziyan, the son of Zhou Mingde, would transport the skins hunted by the prince to the border.

This is one of the things, and the other is to appoint the Minister of Household Affairs to take out 100 million taels of silver from the national treasury to appease the families of the [-] soldiers and soldiers at the border.

Both things are ridiculous.

There was no problem in asking Zhou Ziyan to transport animal skins to the border. The problem was that the animal skins were only enough to make a thousand pieces of clothing, and there were [-] soldiers in the border. This was not a concern for the soldiers, but more like a blatant humiliation.

The second thing is even more outrageous.

There was no news of the defeat at the border, let alone the death of the soldiers, but the emperor impatiently put the golden soothing gold in the hands of the family members. Wasn't this telling the family members that the man in their family was dead?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they were members of the First Prince's Party, Second Prince's Party or Princeling Party, had particularly unified opinions this time, and they all disapproved of the old emperor's actions.

But the old emperor didn't listen to the Qing family at all, and he was determined to issue the imperial edict.

Gu Chengfeng sighed:

"Your Majesty is getting more and more confused. He must have listened to Concubine Wen's slander before he made such a ridiculous move."

The old lady was dumbfounded by this, and even she thought it was inappropriate for a woman. Was the emperor deceived by lard?

"How is this good?"

Gu Chengfeng shook his head, wondering what he could do after the emperor's golden words and imperial edicts were issued.

He looked at Gu Wangshu: "Does Xiaoshu have any countermeasures?"

The old lady and Meng Ying also looked at Gu Wangshu at the same time.

Gu Wangshu held the tea in his hand and took a sip.

"There is a way, but it requires uncle's cooperation."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"any solution?"

Gu Wangshu didn't sell out.

"The emperor appointed my uncle to distribute the consolation money. As a minister, my uncle certainly cannot resist the order, but there is a saying that generals will not accept military orders abroad."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Gu Chengfeng's mind.

"You mean to ask your uncle to delay after receiving the order?"

"Yes!" Gu Wangshu nodded.

"The emperor only asked my uncle to pay solatiums to the families of the soldiers, but did not specify when the payments would be completed, so there is no rush to do this, just show off."

With that said, Gu Wangshu asked:

"In my opinion, if Zhao Bingcheng successfully delivers the winter clothes to the border, how long will it take for Helian soldiers to defeat Mobei?"

Gu Chengfeng thought for a while and said:

"Based on past experience, it will take about a month, that is, by the end of December."

Gu Wangshu smiled and Chengzhu said in his chest:

"One month? It's not a short time, not a long time. I believe my uncle can delay it until then. When the news of the victory at the border comes, my uncle will give the golden gold to the families of the soldiers. At that time, the family members will know that the soldiers have made great achievements. After a complete victory, will there be any complaints?”

The answer is very obvious. Not only will you not complain, but you will feel grateful because you got a sum of money.

Concubine Wen never thought that the method she came up with was ruined by Gu Wangshu again.

Not only that, the people's happiness also skyrocketed because they received ten taels of silver. You must know that ten taels of silver is enough for a family of four for two years.

When people live a prosperous life, no one will be too full to rebel.

Gu Chengfeng looked at Meng Ying.

"Tomorrow, Xi Zhi's child will go to the border. Do you want to see him off?"

Meng Ying blushed: "Can I go see him off?"

"Of course you can." Gu Chengfeng confirmed softly.

The old lady also agreed with Gu Chengfeng.

Meng Ying looked at Gu Wangshu expectantly, and Gu Wangshu could read caution in her eyes.

"You just need to respect your own inner thoughts, and you don't need to look at other people's faces in everything."

Meng Ying pursed her lips: "Xiao Shu, can you go with me tomorrow?"

Gu Wangshu agreed without refusing.

the next day.

Outside the gate of Yong'an City.

Gu Wangshu met Zhou Ziyan, whom she had only met twice.

The first time was when Meng Ying and Zhou Ziyan got engaged, and today is the second time.

The young man, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, looked majestic and dignified while riding a tall horse. When he saw Meng Ying, who was as full as water, his eyes suddenly lit up, he turned over and dismounted, and walked up to the two of them.
