The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"Cousin, the eldest princess, I give you the king's lantern."

King Qin Ling also appeared and gave her a bird lantern, completely ignoring the ugly look on the face of Li Huan'er who was chasing behind him.

Mu Tingxue's eyes twitched: "How many cousins ​​do I have?"

Yan Yang snorted coldly: "A few dozen."

Mu Tingxue was silent there.

The big families in ancient times were really scary. It was impossible to figure out the blood relationship between generations.Many of the dukes, marquises, and earls in Yundu have been married to the Xie family. After all, the founding ancestor of the Xie family gave birth to more than 20 children.

There were so many lanterns that I couldn't hold them down, so I took another one or two hundred more in a moment.Simply hand it over to the Zhenbei Army following behind.

Ahead is the lantern riddle guessing area.

"Place your bets, place your bets, who can win the first place and win away from the Lantern King? Miss Nangong from the Tianqi Company's eldest Situ family, Mr. Gao from the Minister of War, or this violinist."

"Miss Nangong is the most talented woman, I will protect her!"

"Nangong Qianqian was the No. [-] Lantern King last year. She is very talented, and I'm betting on her too!"

"Shilang Gao is also a man who is well-read in literature and history, and his conversational skills are extraordinary. He will definitely win over Nangong Qianqian."

People on the street placed bets one after another, with [-]% betting on Nangong Qianqian and [-]% on Gao Yanchong, the eldest son of the Minister of War. Gao Yanchong also held the position of fourth-rank minister in the Ministry of War, equivalent to the deputy minister of defense. Now, he is in an important position at a young age and enjoys unlimited glory.The Gao family was divorced from the Party, and Gao Yanchong's father and Jing Yugong were separated from each other, which was like being a brother-in-law.

No one placed any bets on the lowly piano master Renqing. Even though he was more talented and knowledgeable than Gao Chongyan and more beautiful than Nangong Qianqian, no one cared about him.

"How many lanterns have the eldest princess collected?"

Nangong Qianqian's face turned pale and he asked the maid behind him.

During last year's lantern festival, she topped the list of lanterns and received a total of 29 lanterns, which was a huge hit.She also won the first place in lantern riddles, conquered countless young talents with her talent and knowledge, and received numerous praises. She was known as "the noble girl that men in Yundu most desire to marry home" in the upper-class aristocratic circle.

The maid lowered her head: "Two...two..."

"Twenties?" Nangong Qianqian lost patience, "Speak clearly!"

"My maid has lost count. There are about two to three hundred." The maid looked like she was about to cry.

"What?!" Nangong Qianqian couldn't believe what she heard, and the tone of her voice changed, "Two or three hundred? Are you crazy?"

If she was in her twenties, she could still hope to catch up. Twenty or three hundred meant that even if she was killed, she wouldn't be able to catch up to the top of the lantern list!

"You must win the first place in the Lamp King to have a chance to stand up!"

Nangong Qianqian decided to fight to the death. As long as she won the Lamp King, many young men would be fascinated by her talents and would be willing to offer lanterns to her. "That lowly piano player is nothing to worry about. The main thing is Gao Shilang."

To show her determination, she bet on herself and spent all her 3000 taels of pocket money on it.

This is no coincidence.

Mu Tingxue also came over and took out money to place bets at the same time as Nangong Qianqian.

"3 taels for a luthier?"

Nangong covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Your Highness, Princess, this is your first time playing this game. There is no way this piano player can win. I'm afraid you will lose all your money."

Mu Tingxue glanced at her: "Don't you understand this? Renqing's odds are eight times higher."

Nangong Qianqian felt that the eldest princess was nothing more than this, extremely stupid: "In the Lantern Festival King Competition, no luther player has ever won the Lantern King in the past decades. Most of the ignorant people at the bottom are illiterate and can't even read the riddles in the lantern riddles."

Mu Tingxue shook her head: "He who is literate should not look down on the poor and common people."

Xunyin once said that this apprentice was extremely intelligent and could recite any book by heart after reading it once.

This is talent!In modern times, students at the age of eleven or twelve can be directly promoted to the Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology of China, Peking University and Tsinghua University.He is handsome and has appeared on various puzzle programs such as "The Strongest Memory" and "Super Poems". He has won the first place and has become the younger brother of everyone. He is the most popular search topic.

"Your Highness! I will definitely live up to your expectations!" The piano master Renqing was very moved after hearing this, and the eyes of beautiful Danfeng were filled with fighting spirit.

Nangong Qianqian was unhappy. In order to show off herself, she said loudly: "If I win the Lantern King, I will give the 9000 taels I win to the victims."

Her own odds are three times that.Throw in three thousand and fight for nine thousand.

There was a lot of applause around her, praising her as a benevolent, righteous and wonderful woman.

Mu Tingxue said calmly: "If this princess wins, I will donate it to the Zhenbei Army to pay for the military expedition to the north."

The sound was not loud, but it was enough for people around to hear, and the scene fell silent.

Most of the Yunhuang people hate the Beiyu people extremely.The people in the north suffered a cruel fate at the hands of the Beiyu Kingdom. The local people were like babies waiting for shelter. The country had never forgotten the humiliation they suffered for eight hundred miles.Yundu is located to the north of the river, only one province away from the Northern Territory. Many of the refugees in Yundu City have fled from the Northern Territory.

The ancients were pure and loyal, and followed the teachings of Taoism. They regarded the invaders as enemies and wanted to eat their flesh alive.

"Your Highness!" Yan Yang's face was expressionless, but his heart was already surging.

In this world, she is the only one who understands her own difficulties...

The treasury was empty, provincial officials still owed their salaries, and it was impossible to allocate more military pay.Because of this, there were many voices in the court opposed to this expedition. Li Dang advocated peace, and Zuo Prime Minister Li Fan even made a trick, saying that 20 pieces of cotton cloth would be collected from farmers growing cotton in the south of the Yangtze River and given to Beiyu. The country can avoid war and save military expenses.

When they were having the reunion dinner on the carriage, Yan Yang had already smartly guessed his difficult situation without even mentioning it.

Mu Tingxue smiled slightly at him: "Like you, I also take the lead in the battle."

She is the eldest princess of the Xie family of Yunhuang. She hopes that her country will be a country with integrity. She will not negotiate for peace or give away women for marriage. She will fight when the robbing barbarians come. The backbone of the nation cannot be bent.

Yan Yang felt as if he had found a close friend. He said: "Li Dang wants to increase taxes in the south of the Yangtze River and collect 20 pieces of cloth to send to the north..."

"This is the last resort, just cut out the flesh to patch up the sores!"

Mu Tingxue sneered, "Aren't the lives of the cotton-growing farmers in the south of the Yangtze River their lives? They used their wealth to exchange for temporary peace in the north. They were forced to survive by heavy taxes. This new hole will What can I use to make up for it?”

Cut out the flesh of the heart and heal the sores in front of the eyes.

In her opinion, the civil servant group headed by Li Dang cannot solve the actual problems of Yunhuang Kingdom!

Yan Yang looked at her steadily, took a deep breath, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind - if she were a man, the throne would not be occupied by the puppet Xie Xuanchen, but with her profound insight into political affairs and the way to make money Ability, it is entirely possible to save the country from falling!
