Chapter 78 The Crested Hairpin 29
Liang Yuqiang and Lingyao went back to the General's Mansion, and they left lightly, but the palace was in turmoil.

It’s just the masons in the palace, and even many skilled craftsmen were called to Yifang Hall to repair and redecorate, the gate was repainted, and the rusty hinges were repaired; the dead branches and weeds in the courtyard were replaced. It has become neatly trimmed green plants, tall cypress trees and countless exotic flowers and plants transplanted from outside the palace; the corridors of the palace have been re-paved with smooth, round and similar-sized cobblestones, and the furniture in the house is all the same. It was replaced with yellow pear wood; the light gauze curtains, curtains and clothes are all made of high-quality materials, which are not even seen by concubines of ordinary rank.

A whole piece of white tiger skin is laid on the marble floor tiles, the bookshelves are full of books, and there are many rare books collected everywhere; vases and handicrafts from the previous dynasty, rare gadgets and a small ice book ... Almost overnight, this palace that had been abandoned for more than 20 years suddenly became one of the most luxurious palaces in the imperial palace.

But this palace also strictly complied with the hierarchical system, and there were no patterns of dragon and phoenix. Although the specifications were luxurious, it was also imitated of the mansion of the rich merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, without any violation of the rules.Looking at it this way, Jiaoren can't find any other excuses except "extravagance and waste".

All the maids and eunuchs sighed, and some people even speculated: "Isn't Princess Yunyao thinking that the Second Highness's birth is good-looking and wants him to be a husband?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized—that’s right, otherwise, who would spend so much money to renovate a palace for a fool?

"What crime should I be guilty of talking about the princess?" A voice rang out, and a large group of court ladies and eunuchs immediately knelt down and saluted: "Third Highness, Wanan!"

"If His Highness hears such nonsense again in the future, I will cut off the tongue of the rumor-monger without saying a word!" Liang Yuzheng said, without the slightest taste of joking.

The palace people repeatedly said yes, but Liang Yuzheng knew that this couldn't stop their mouths.

Sister Yunyao is really going to provoke criticism.

Sure enough, in the court hall on the second day, some people made a fuss about this matter. Usually, they are officials who like to give advice and make irresponsible remarks. , and then Wei Jian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is subject to my consent, otherwise my daughter would not have that opinion."

The emperor didn't speak, this matter didn't affect him at all, for his second son, he didn't care whether the emperor was dead or alive, but... who Wei Yunyao really liked was what he cared most about.

After all, Wei Jian's power cannot be ignored.

"The little girl has been fostered in the palace for many years. Thanks to the care of the second prince, the little girl can grow up happily. Now the second prince's palace needs to be repaired, and there is a lack of silver. Even if I give it, it is my Wei Jian's silver. You officials can't afford it." When grapes talk about sour grapes, if you spend so much money repairing your mansion, you...wouldn't have so many excuses, would you?"

When Wei Jian said so, the group of officials were very angry, but one or two couldn't think of anything to say back for a while. After all, what Wei Jian said was the truth, and... just rely on words to be an official Yes, compared with those who lead soldiers to fight and become officials, the two are not the same thing.The third prince stepped forward and said: "Father, my son believes that the emissary of Daqi will arrive in the capital soon, and the most important thing now is to receive the envoy, not these trivial matters."

"I think this matter is not a trivial matter." Liang Yuming stood up and said, "If the emissary of Daqi visits, if he sees that our princess in Daliang is extravagant and has a bad manners, it may cause disputes among the countries."

The smell of gunpowder was strong in the hall for a while, and the third prince Liang Yuzheng was naturally not to be outdone: "My Great Liang has strong troops and powerful forces, so it is a waste for others, but it is nothing to my Great Liang. At this time, it is a show of national power to shock the world. How can you be stingy and ruin the pattern when

Liang Yuming has already realized that Liang Yuzheng at this time is no longer the young man who can only play tricks and make fun of others. He must pay attention to this opponent, otherwise he will definitely be his stumbling block in the future.

The two sons were fighting secretly in front of him in the court hall. The emperor had nothing in his heart, but at this moment he felt sullen. He patted the table in front of him hard, and the hall finally fell silent.He was silent for a moment and said: "Admonition officers have their own uses. Advising and admonishing, making suggestions, and seeking welfare for the people's family and country are the uses of officials; military officers have their own uses. Blood spilled on the battlefield to protect the people." It is the style of a military officer to defend the country, lay the foundation of the ancestors, and expand the territory. You are all my right-hand men and the talents of the pillars of the beam. A joke from another country?!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" All the ministers immediately saluted and said in unison, hoping to appease the emperor's anger.

"Yunyao is well-behaved and sensible. Even if he helped the second prince to repair the palace with a lot of money, it was for the love of his classmates. Princess Yunyao attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and never forgets the kindness of dripping water. How can I punish you? The most urgent thing is to welcome the emissary , let’s ignore other things for the time being!” The emperor said, “Zheng’er, when the envoy enters the city, you will be in charge of the defense project; Here you go."

"Yes." They both answered in unison.

"The two of you must work together to demonstrate the prestige of our Great Liang. Discuss everything, and don't be arrogant and make rash decisions." The emperor gave a brief instruction, and waved his hand: "If there is nothing else to do, retreat to the court. !"

Lingyao didn't know that her high-profile actions made the situation in the court so tense. She was still playing with the rabbit that the servants gave her in the yard. When she saw Cuixin coming, she raised her head and asked, "The palace has been repaired?" gone?"

"It's ready. According to the princess' wishes, someone has carefully designed it to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, with a low-key luxury." Cui Xin replied, "The second prince can go back tonight."

"Where's the second prince?" Lingyao put the rabbit into the cage, but she struggled to get out.

"I can't control it anymore." Lingyao said softly, but didn't ask any more questions.

Liang Yuqiang had already arrived outside the city at this time, he was wearing a sterling silver mask and a black black robe, making it impossible to see the high or low of the material, standing so straight in the middle of the road passing by the envoy Da Qi, Watching a large number of people slowly approaching.

"Who is here?" asked the person leading the way.

"People who help you." Liang Yuqiang said lightly, "His Royal Highness, I have a deal here. Do you want it or not?"
