Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

The Gaochang envoy did not expect that Li Jinglan, as the princess, would receive him, and he danced with excitement.

As an envoy from Gaochang, he knew a little about what was going on in the imperial court.

Now everyone is saying that the emperor intends to depose the crown prince.

If the crown prince is deposed, the Prince of Pei will most likely be made the crown prince.

It would be beneficial to Gaochang to have a good relationship with King Pei.

"If the princess needs it, I can transport several thousand kilograms here next year."

How many kilograms?

Too little!

She smiled and said, "My sister is very ambitious. She started to open shops and workshops like other families at a very young age. Now her shops and workshops are thriving."

"I heard a few days ago that the cotton in Gaochang is very good. I want to buy some cotton from Gaochang."

Li Jinglan told lies without changing her expression or beating her heart.

"How much cotton can Gaochang supply in a year? My sister will send the housekeeper to the Gaochang embassy in a few days, and you can discuss it then."

Prince Pei’s Palace wants to import cotton from Gaochang?

The officials at the Siyi Pavilion subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But Li Jinglan did not mention Pei Wang Mansion at all, but used Lu Guanyu's desire to do business as an excuse.

Pei Wangfu does business with Gaochang?

This is a good thing!

Cotton is a cheap commodity in Gaochang and only becomes valuable when it is shipped to the imperial court in the Central Plains.

The Gaochang envoy was a little excited, "Gaochang is willing to send tens of thousands of kilograms to the Prince of Pei's Palace every year."

Li Jinglan still remembered that in her previous life, cotton was sold at a maximum price of more than fifty wen per catty, and normally it was around twenty to thirty wen per catty.

Gaochang can give tens of thousands of kilograms of rice to Prince Pei's Palace for free every year, proving that their output is not small.

It also proves that cotton is worthless in Gaochang.

After Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng come back, let them open a cotton trading company and start the cotton business.

Millions of tons of cotton were imported from Gaochang every year, which pushed down the price of cotton in the country.

Then we vigorously developed cotton weaving workshops.

The people of Gaochang grew cotton and sold it to the Central Plains, which was a mutual benefit.

Li Jinglan got what she wanted and was quite satisfied.

Next, I started asking about the customs and culture of Gaochang.

Just then, news came that the prince had arrived at Prince Pei's mansion.

Li Jinglan frowned and said, "Go to Wenyuan Pavilion and invite Lord Zhao and Grand Secretary Yin to come to Prince Pei's Mansion to receive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." She winked at Gao Daxi who was standing beside the screen.

Gao Daxixi hurriedly walked behind the screen. Li Jinglan whispered to him and asked Gao Daxixi to leave.

Yin Zhihai was an official in the Prince of Pei's mansion, and Lu Bozhou called Yin Zhihai uncle.

It would be most appropriate for Yin Zhihai to receive us.

Lord Zhao is the prince's teacher, so he should be present at this occasion.

Before Yin Zhihai and Lord Zhao arrived.

The prince came before Li Jinglan, ignoring the obstruction of the servants in Prince Pei's mansion.

The officials of the Siyi Hall had just said goodbye and were preparing to lead the envoys from Gaochang out.

When he saw the prince rushing in, he was stunned for a moment.

"Please stay, Mr. Wang Tongshi!" Seeing that the officials of the Siyi Hall were about to leave, Li Jinglan spoke hurriedly.

Wang Tongshi regretted deeply because he said goodbye too late and was forced to stay.

Everyone knows the grudge between the Crown Prince and Prince Pei's Mansion.

He was just an interpreter. He didn't want to be caught between the Crown Prince and King Pei, nor did he dare to get involved in this matter.

While Wang Tongshi was hesitating, the prince had already rushed into the house.

Wang Tongshi could only signal his men to take the Gaochang envoy out while he stayed behind.

After the prince entered the room, he didn't even look at Wang Tongshi, but just stared at the screen.

"Prince Pei is out, and I heard that everything in Prince Pei's mansion is decided by the princess, so I want to ask Princess Pei for someone today."

……

Wei Yanyuan.

Hearing that the prince had broken into Prince Pei's mansion for him, Wei Yan was horrified, "Prince Pei's mansion took me in, I can't let Prince Pei's mansion and the prince have a grudge because of me."

Having said that, he stood up and was about to go out.

Just walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Gao Daxi came in from outside and asked, "Ren Wei, where are you going?"

Wei Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "I heard that the prince broke into Prince Pei's mansion. I can't bear to let Prince Pei have a grudge against Your Highness because of me."

"That's wrong." Gao Daxi laughed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Prince of Pei are cousins. They can only have deep brotherly love. How can there be any grudges?"

"That's perfect. My little apprentice likes to play chess, but he can never find an opponent." Gao Daxi pointed at the young eunuch behind him.

"Ren Weishe, just give him some pointers for a few games."

After saying this, before Wei Yan could react, the chessboard had been placed.

The young eunuch bowed to Wei Yan and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Wei."

Gao Daxi turned around and went out.

Order people to close the gate tightly.

……

Li Jinglan walked out from behind the screen and greeted the prince according to etiquette.

Then she answered the Crown Prince, "Prince Pei was away on the Emperor's orders, and I was at home doing housework. I didn't know that the Crown Prince had arrived, and I was unable to open the middle gate to greet him. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

The prince broke into Prince Pei's mansion and there was no time to open the middle door to welcome him, so Li Jinglan said this.

It actually implies that it is against the rules for the prince to break into Prince Pei's mansion.

The prince smiled coldly: "What a clever talker! I won't say much to you, I just want to ask you, is Wei Yan, an official of the Eastern Palace, in your house? Hand him over."

Li Jinglan raised her eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

The prince may have stayed in a high position for too long, and developed this "I don't need to save face for you" temper.

The prince may have forgotten that he is not the emperor yet and cannot do whatever he wants like an emperor.

Li Jinglan directly retorted: "Who is Wei Yan? I don't understand the question your highness asked."

Why are you pretending to be a fool?

Wei Yan was staying in Prince Pei's mansion, but he asked who Wei Yan was?

The prince's face turned cold and he didn't give Li Jinglan any face at all.

"What is the purpose of Prince Pei's Mansion detaining my officials from the Chancellery and refusing to return them?"

Li Jinglan changed the subject and only focused on what the official from the Zhanshi Mansion was saying:

"If Your Highness wants to know who the officials of your Eastern Palace are, you should ask the six ministries, nine ministers and clan officials instead of breaking into Prince Pei's mansion and asking me for people. Do you think I, the Princess of Prince Pei, can decide who will be the officials of our Prince Pei's mansion?"

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your intrusion today? Why do you look like I was wrong?"

These rhetorical questions made the prince laugh out of anger.

Li Jinglan is a typical example of someone who pretends to be ignorant while knowing the truth, and wants to suppress the matter by making unreasonable demands?

The prince was not angry but said: "Princess, don't you want to hand over the person?"

Li Jinglan smiled faintly, her voice very steady: "Who do you want to meet? Your Highness, it's a very strange question to ask."

"Since the establishment of the Pei Palace, no matter whether it is a big or small matter, all matters have been reported to Your Majesty. I ask myself, there has never been anything that Your Majesty should not know."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that Wei Yan is in my Prince Pei's Mansion, you can search the Prince Pei's Mansion!"

Li Jinglan spread his hands and said, "Pass my order. All doors of Prince Pei's Palace are open. Please search, Prince. No one is allowed to stop us."

Officials of the fifth rank and above automatically become subordinates of the Pei Palace, which is as defenseless as a sieve.

Whatever the prince wants to know, he can find out with a little trickery.

But knowing is one thing.

Whether or not to tell others that I know is another matter.

Gao Daxixi was involved in the Wei Yan incident from beginning to end, and the emperor should be well aware of the Wei Yan incident.

A few days passed and there was no news from the palace.

The fact that the emperor was neither angry nor reprimanded the prince was enough to prove that Wei Yan's evidence was somewhat problematic.

Although Li Jinglan couldn't guess her boss's intentions, she understood one thing: nothing could be thrown out without evidence.

Although the incident involved hundreds of thousands of disaster victims on both sides of the Huai River, she would have to endure it until she got the evidence.

What if she threw Wei Yan out without caring about anything, and it was later confirmed that she had made a false accusation?

As the King of Pei, you cannot make any mistakes.

That was why she asked the interpreter from the Siyi Hall to accompany her to meet the foreign envoys for several days in a row, but secretly sent people on fast horses to chase Lu Bozhou and pass on the message to him.

Does the prince want to make trouble now?

Then let the prince search openly.

The discovery of Wei Yan was just the right opportunity to expose the case through the hands of the prince himself.

What is Li Jinglan afraid of?

Moreover, her words "Everything has been reported to Your Majesty" were already reminding the Crown Prince that the Emperor already knew about Wei Yan's matter.

It’s just that Li Jinglan can’t say it clearly.

When the prince heard Li Jinglan asking him to search Prince Pei's Mansion, he was stunned at first, and then became furious.

Can the prince search Prince Pei’s mansion?

Li Jinglan was roasting him on the fire!

"Princess, you only need to hand over Wei Yan, but you are trying to stop me with the search? I don't understand." The prince said in a cold voice.

Li Jinglan curled her lips, "Your Highness keeps asking me to hand over Wei Yan, but there is one thing I don't understand. Could it be that Wei Yan has committed some serious crime? That's why Your Highness is so anxious and angry?"

The prince snorted, "Your words have already proved that Wei Yan is in your hands, so just hand him over."

Li Jinglan sighed: "I just said that I don't know Wei Yan. If Your Highness insists that Wei Yan is in Prince Pei's Mansion, you can search him. I will never stop you!"

She would never make friends with Wei Yan.

It can only be found out by the prince himself.

The prince was furious. "Princess Pei, you forced me to search your Pei Palace. This is putting me in an unjust position with Pei and forcing me to be at odds with Pei."

Li Jinglan was about to speak when a cough was heard outside.
