Zhu Biao opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But when his mouth was halfway open, he suddenly realized that he seemed to not know how to answer this question.

Provide relief to disaster victims?

Purchase arms?

Pay salaries?

Develop water conservancy?

……

There seems to be nothing much to say about these things.

Isn't this what every emperor has to do when he comes to power?

You can say that Zhu Yuanzhang did a good job, but you definitely can't give a thumbs up and say that he was much better than other "peers" in the field of finance and taxation!

"So, Crown Prince, do you feel that compared to his achievements and abilities in other areas, your father's financial and taxation skills are particularly mediocre?"

Miss Hu has really put all her efforts into comforting her husband today.

He really just says whatever he wants.

However, Zhu Biao had to admit that although what he said was not pleasant to hear, it was indeed extremely true.

"Well, my beloved, now that you put it like that, I don't have much confidence anymore."

"Because it seems that I and my father have similar ideas about allocating money and food. It's all about the same things."

"If it's as you said, I really don't think I'm better than my father!"

Although men are more or less willing to save face in front of women.

But for Zhu Biao and Hu Xinyue, the "old couple", there are no outsiders around, so all the talk of face is nonsense.

So, Zhu Biao was very happy to admit it.

Hu Xinyue was no longer surprised. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at Zhu Biao.

"Does the prince really think so?"

"You know, according to what Daddy said, you, Prince, are indeed more talented than Father in spending money."

"After all, making money depends on skills and the hard work of people below you, but spending money really requires talent."

“Only a person with talent can make a penny cost three pennies.”

"Whether it's arranging a project to benefit the people or using money to motivate people, these are decisions that require talent to make."

"The most important thing is to be willing to give up!"

"Daddy thinks that you are far superior to the Emperor in this regard!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why my uncle thought so highly of me. It turns out it's because I'm not as stingy as my father!"

"But if you put it that way, I am more talented than my father. He really wants someone to do the work without spending a penny."

When he thought of this, Zhu Biao actually felt a little more confident.

Indeed, just because he is more generous than his father, how many achievements must he have made?

Seeing that Zhu Biao looked more confident than before, Hu Xinyue felt relieved and said immediately in a bad mood.

"Okay, you can rest assured here. I still have to take care of my own affairs."

"Tomorrow is not only your big day, but also my big day. There are many things to do."

Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this and teased Hu Xinyue, "You still call yourself a concubine now?"

"From tomorrow on, you will call yourself my concubine in front of me."

"Oh, by the way, starting tomorrow, you can openly and properly call yourself this palace."

"It's not as unreasonable as before."

Hu Xinyue rolled her eyes in annoyance when she heard this: "Don't give me that! You claim that everything is just a rule."

"Could it be possible that I could become someone else?"

"To put it bluntly, as long as I am still Hu Xinyue, my identity will not change."

"I call myself a humble concubine, do you really dare to treat me as a humble concubine, Prince?"

When Hu Xinyue said this, her eyes were like knives and instantly fell on Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was startled by this look and quickly smiled and said, "How could that be?"

"Who doesn't know how majestic you, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, are?"

"You have more face in our palace than I do!"

"I want to use some money, but I need your signature and seal!"

"I have to beg you, you are much better than me!"

Zhu Biao was not just flattering others. Although these words were somewhat exaggerated, they reflected the actual situation in the palace.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had agreed that all the royal properties would be managed by Hu Xinyue.

Hu Xinyue is in charge of not only the people inside, but most importantly, the huge amounts of money accumulated there are all under Hu Xinyue's control.

If Zhu Biao wanted to withdraw the money, he had to go through a procedure and get Hu Xinyue's signature and seal.

Although Hu Xinyue would not do anything like being tactless and refusing to pay, with this rule in place, Hu Xinyue's identity and status would be indisputable.

Therefore, what Zhu Biao said just now was not just pure flattery.

"Okay, save these nice words for tomorrow when you tell Father."

"Although my father will abdicate tomorrow, this is indeed his own choice, but in the end, my father gave his throne to you."

"I think Father is still feeling a little uncomfortable. You must remember to say a few words to comfort him tomorrow."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Xinyue who looked serious and answered seriously.

"This matter is simple. Father is a man who always keeps everything to himself."

"Instead of me just going up to him and saying a few meaningless words, I'd rather let him get busy, or just go to my uncle's place and have a drink with my old brothers!"

"If you're drunk, nothing will happen!"

"By the way, now that the chaos has been settled, uncle should go back to Hujiazhuang, right?"

"After all, it's not a good idea for so many people to stay in the Hu Mansion all the time!"

It was obvious that Hu Xinyue was still paying attention to her natal family even though she was in the palace, so she answered without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Prince. Dad has already made the decision. After attending the abdication ceremony of the emperor tomorrow, I will accompany the emperor and the queen to Hujiazhuang."

"And you don't have to worry about Father and the others having a bad life in Hujia Village."

"In fact, as early as just after the Spring Festival, Dad had already arranged for people to go to Hujiazhuang to work overtime for the renovation."

"The courtyard where Father and his family are going to live has already been renovated and is waiting for them to move in."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Xinyue in horror.

“When was this decided?”

"Why didn't I know that my father and mother were leaving?"

"Shouldn't you tell me this?"

Hu Xinyue glared at him angrily: "What's the point of telling you?"

"Why don't you just focus on your state affairs?"

"Shouldn't the comings and goings in this palace be my mother's and my business?"

"Father and the others are just making room for us so they can live their own lives. Are you going to stop them?"
