The aunt in charge was speechless. Miss Pingyang was becoming more and more difficult to serve. She was drunk and unconscious, so she blamed herself.

She has talked about what happened many times, so don't blame her.

Now, Miss Pingyang brought up something that made her sad again, and the aunt in charge didn't know what to say.

"Princess, I dare not. I have never thought about getting married again. It is just that my cousin and I are not destined to be together. I will not force it."

"As long as the princess needs me, I will stay in the princess's mansion and serve her well for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Pingyang *** stared at her suspiciously for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's right, auntie, as long as you follow me and help me, I will definitely give you the benefits!"

"I am the Queen of Tianqi. I don't have any good things. You are a good person. Follow me. When you are old, I will take care of you and see you to the end of your life."

The aunt in charge twitched her lips when she heard this.

She had heard this sentence dozens of times, if not a hundred times. Given ***'s personality, she really didn't believe it.

The head aunt lowered her head and thanked: "Thank you very much, Princess. Don't worry, I will do my best."

*** was satisfied and waved her to leave.

She held the wine jug and murmured, "Dong Xiangyu, you bitch, vixen, why! Why do all the people protect you......"

The emperor heard the news that Pingyang thief had been drinking all day in his mansion after his fiefdom was taken back.

The emperor said coldly: "Don't worry about her, it's better if she drinks herself to death."

If it weren't for his father's face, he really hated this imperial sister and would have wanted to punish her severely a long time ago.

Now, he just wanted to take away her fiefdom, but he was so desperate. Who was he doing this for? Wasn't he doing it on purpose to show him? To show his mother?

As he was speaking, the Queen Mother arrived.

The emperor was very surprised and said, "Mother! Why are you here? If there is anything, just tell someone to call me and I will go to see you."

The Empress Dowager is already very old and usually lives in Shoukang Palace. She will never come out unless something serious happens.

Now, she slowly sat down with the help of her maid.

The Empress Dowager got straight to the point and asked, "Your Majesty, have you heard about what happened in Pingyang?"

The emperor nodded: "I was just talking about her. It's really outrageous. A princess like her spends the whole day drinking and getting drunk in the mansion. It's really a disgrace to the royal family!"

"Alas, if this goes on, I hope she won't get into any problems from drinking. Shuyi doesn't even try to persuade her mother." The Queen Mother sighed pretendingly.

Princess Shuyi is the only daughter of Mrs. Pingyang. She is now old and very picky. She has not yet married and lives in the princess's mansion with Mrs. Pingyang.

Upon hearing this, the emperor twitched his lips, somewhat confused as to what his mother meant.

It is obvious that when my father was alive, my mother had always been at odds with Pingyang's biological mother, Concubine Lin. Logically, my mother should not have cared about Pingyang.

Why did you come here specially to talk to him about Pingyang and mention Shuyi?

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Mother, she did this on purpose. She got drunk on purpose for me and mother to see!"

"I am the Son of Heaven. Once I have issued an order, there is no reason for me to take it back."

"If my mother wants to plead for Pingyang, then please go back. Eunuch Wu, you will personally escort my mother back to Shoukang Palace."

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. I am old and can't take care of it anymore."

After saying that, the Queen Mother stood up with the help of her maid and walked slowly outside.

The moment he turned around, the emperor suddenly realized that his mother was really a smart person. She came to him deliberately to let people know that she had come to plead for Pingyang!

The good guys were played by the Queen Mother, and the bad guys were played by him.

The emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly. Being in the royal family, he was exploited everywhere. Even he, the emperor, was dared to be exploited by others!

Never mind. My mother is old now and she doesn’t have many years left to live. Just let her be.

"Come here, send these rewards to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion."

Gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, and Sichuan brocade were all extremely valuable things, but the emperor gave them to the Marquis of Yongchang without even blinking an eye.

In the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Qin Jing was watching Granny Dong eating supplements with a very satisfied look on her face. When he heard that Eunuch Xiao Feng had arrived, he hurriedly asked someone to welcome him in.

"Eunuch Xiao Feng, what does His Majesty need?" Qin Jing asked.

Eunuch Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, beckoned for all the rewards to be brought up, and pointed, "Marquis Yongchang, this is the reward that His Majesty asked me to bring you."

"Reward, reward?" Marquis Yongchang's eyes widened in surprise.

Dong Xiangyu was also very surprised. Why did the emperor give her another reward for no reason? Yesterday he bestowed her the title of First-Rank Lady, and today he gave her gold, silver, and jewelry. This, this made them feel a little panicked!

Qin Jing asked: "Eunuch Xiao Feng, Your Majesty, why did you reward me when I didn't make any contribution?"

Eunuch Xiao Feng pinched the red envelope handed over by the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, felt the thickness inside, smiled very warmly, and said: "Marquis Yongchang, perhaps you helped His Majesty to relieve his worries, so His Majesty gave you a reward."

"Since the things have been delivered, I will return to the palace to report first!"

After saying this, Eunuch Xiao Feng led the eunuchs and left the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in an orderly manner.

Looking at the boxes and cages, gold, silver, jewels, and rolls of Shu brocade and silk in the room, Qin Jing became more and more puzzled and asked, "Xiangyu, tell me, why did His Majesty give us so many things as a reward?"

Dong Xiangyu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If what Eunuch Xiao Feng said is true, we have relieved His Majesty's worries."

"Your Majesty's worries... Your Majesty's worries have been solved. Got it! Could it be that because of your entry into the palace yesterday, His Majesty took the opportunity to recapture the fiefdom of Pingyang, so he gave us these rewards?"

Pingyang's fiefdom, Pingyang County, is located in the Central Plains and is also a transportation fortress. The land is fertile and the grain production is abundant. The amount of silver handed over by the fiefdom every year can be as high as hundreds of thousands of taels!

Now that Pingyang's fiefdom has been taken back and has fallen into the hands of Your Majesty, it can be explained why Your Majesty has rewarded their mansion with so many things.

Compared with the silver paid for the fiefdom, these rewards seem insignificant.

Qin Jing also agreed with this idea and nodded, "I think it makes sense. I didn't expect that we were also used."

His mood at this moment was very complicated. If he had been very grateful to His Majesty, now, only seven or eight points remained.

No one likes to be used, but the other party is the king, the emperor! Even if he uses me, what can I say?

The fact that His Majesty is willing to reward so many things to the Marquis' Mansion is enough to show that he will support the Marquis' Mansion. This is enough.
