Wealth and glory seek stability

Shen Nanxing's military achievements were also earned by killing one enemy after another. He was lucky enough to encounter a war between the Xuanyuan Dynasty and the Xuanwu Dynasty, where he gained military merit and was favored by Emperor Xuanyuan and rose to prominence.

Everything she did was for her own better life, nothing else.

Everyone has this kind of thoughts.

There seemed to be nothing else that attracted attention, except that she earned tens of thousands of taels of silver from the "Love Hidden in Jewels" she wrote at the beginning. However, she had read unofficial history, and the records in it were more wild than what she wrote.

I asked the shopkeeper of Moxiang Pavilion, the two of them are old acquaintances. He said that the recent new books were written by Lin Yun. Although she was in disguise, she might have relaxed her vigilance later and sent the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion to collect the silver. To say nothing of other things, the shopkeeper of Moxiang Pavilion knows all the servants under the rich family.

Lei Zi acted quickly. Within two days, the Censorate submitted a memorial impeaching the prince.

The prince was in the northwest and had no time to take care of himself. Some people in the court had long been dissatisfied with the prince, and when this incident happened, they came forward to impeach him.

Prince Lu's Mansion.

Wei Yuyan came to visit with gifts. Logically, she was the sister-in-law and her husband was not at home, so it was not right for her to visit alone.

"Eighth brother, I really don't know what to do. The Crown Prince went to the northwest, and there is no news from him now. He had Concubine Lin's financial support before, but Concubine Lin was called to the palace by my mother, and now there is no news at all. The censors have been impeaching the Crown Prince like crazy recently. I'm really afraid that the Emperor will be furious and punish him without waiting for your Sixth Brother to come back."

Wei Yuyan was in tears and very worried.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen couldn't stand women crying. A look of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to comfort her.

"Don't be sad, sister-in-law. The Crown Prince and Concubine Shu are deeply loved by the Emperor. Even the most favored Concubine Zhao and Prince Jin are put aside. Besides, this is not a big deal. Merchants are lowly. Could it be that the Emperor would kill his own son for a few merchants? If it gets out, people will laugh at it. Don't worry, Crown Princess."

Wei Yuyan wiped her tears and said, "That being said, I sent a name card to the palace, saying that I wanted to pay my respects to my mother, but she refused to see me."

Xuanyuan Zangzhen risked his life and casually said, "I heard that Concubine Shu is not in good health. Now the harem is managed by Concubine Zhao and she is in charge of the Phoenix Seal again." He quietly drew his attention to Xuanyuan Qiyuan and his son.

Wei Yuyan's eyes were filled with worry. "Noble Concubine Zhao has always been at odds with mother. I don't know how mother is doing."

Xuanyuan Zangzhen called the maid to change the tea, picked up the tea bowl, and drank the tea to hide the boredom on his face.

"It would be better for you to go to the palace to deliver something to Concubine Zhao. You might be lucky enough to see my father. It's useless for you to tell me this. Although I believe that my brother is innocent, right and wrong only depend on my father's decision."

Wei Yuyan's eyes lit up. Yes, as long as she entered the palace, she would still have the opportunity to meet Emperor Xuanyuan, and then she could plead for the prince.

"Thank you, my royal brother. I will go and deliver the invitation to the palace right away."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen showed a sarcastic smile on his face, the couple were both idiots.

The Wei family is a subsidiary family of the Lan family, and Wei Yuyan has always been Lan Mei'er's follower.

The Lan family is not an ordinary family. Emperor Xuanyuan finally let Xuanyuan Qiyuan marry Lan Mei'er. There is a profound meaning behind this. He does not believe this is a coincidence.

There was a crisp clapping sound from behind the screen, and the woman chuckled and said, "Your Highness Prince Lu is really wise. In this way, no matter whether Prince Jin did it or not, the Crown Prince has already remembered that it was Prince Jin. When two tigers fight, one will be injured, and in the end you will reap the benefits."

The woman was wearing a fluttering red dress, raised eyebrows, and a turquoise necklace around her neck, exuding an exotic style.

The person who came was Zhang Cen'er. Zhang Cen'er was sitting in Wei Yuyan's previous seat, frowning. Seeing this, Yinping quickly replaced the tea with a new one.

Zhang Cen'er picked up the teacup, but didn't drink. She just looked at the tea foam in the cup. She was used to drinking milk tea, and she really couldn't get used to the tea from the Central Plains.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen was very proud and felt that he was the one who was destined to be the emperor. He made the two fight with just a little trickery. "Princess Jiahe is really a wonderful person. The idea you gave me is very good. When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely let you be the only queen of the central palace."

Everyone thinks that Xuanyuan Zangzhen is talentless and mediocre, but he must let everyone know that the one who laughs last is the king.

Zhang Cen'er was disdainful in her heart, but she still pretended to be as respectful and obedient as the women of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. "Then Cen'er will wait."

Xuanyuan Zangzhen was very proud that such a rebellious woman in front of others was tamed by him. He felt a surge of evil fire. If he could hold her down and watch her surrender and beg for mercy...

I couldn't help but pull Zhang Cen'er's hand, and was moved for a moment.

He has handsome features, and everyone in the Xuanyuan family has a good appearance.

Zhang Cen'er pretended to be ashamed and annoyed, "What do you think I am, Your Highness Prince Lu? The custom of the Xuanwu Dynasty is that you can only get married on the day of your wedding..."

The meaning behind this is self-evident.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen hurriedly withdrew his hand as if he had just discovered it. "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry because I saw that Cen'er was so beautiful. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future. As long as you can help me defeat the Crown Prince and King Jin, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future."

"In that case, Cen'er will take his leave. The wedding date is approaching, and it's time to return to Taiping Pavilion to get married."

Xuanyuan Zangzhen watched Zhang Cen'er go out, then turned around and threw the teacup on the ground.

"Bitch, why are you pretending to be a chaste woman? When I ascend the throne, you will be the first one to be banished to the cold palace among the three palaces and six courtyards."

Zhang Cen'er had a frosty face as he rode in the carriage back to Taiping Pavilion.

Taiping Pavilion was a place built specifically by the Xuanyuan Dynasty to receive foreign envoys.

All the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty lived in it.

As soon as Zhang Cen'er returned to Taiping Pavilion, he soaked his hands in flower juice three or four times before stopping.

Yin Ping helped Zhang Cen'er wipe her hands, "Princess, you have really been wronged on this trip."

Zhang Cen'er took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, then raised her eyes and asked, "Did you find what I asked you to check?"

"We have already found out. When we came here, the Queen sent two secret royal guards. After many days of investigation, we have found some clues."

"explain."

"The largest grain store in the Xuanyuan Dynasty is in the Jiangnan area. The largest grain store in the capital is called Fengyu. It has the largest amount of rice stored in its granaries. What's most coincidental is that the owner behind this grain store is the Rong'an County Lord you met before. The secret guards have been following the head of Fengyu these days and have roughly figured out the farm under Rong'an County Lord. There is a granary hidden in the farm, and the grain stored is comparable to the total amount of Taicang."

Zhang Cen'er raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly happy, "Is the news true?"

"It is absolutely true. Every month, the shopkeeper of Fengyuhao would go to General Shen's house with account books and money, and he would go to the Huashui Pavilion where Rong'an County Lord was."

"I also heard that Rong'an County Lord plans to develop a grain store in Jiangnan in the second half of the year. The grain from Fengyuhao is reasonably priced and of good quality, and is very popular among the people."

Yinping was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

The Xuanyuan Dynasty was unlike the Xuanwu Dynasty, where everyone from top to bottom followed ancient rituals.

For example, if they are from the same family, in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, only the eldest son can inherit, but in the Xuanwu Dynasty, only the eldest son can inherit, regardless of gender. Zhang Cen'er is the sixth princess and has five brothers and sisters, so the throne can never fall on her head.

The Xuanwu Dynasty is now ruled by a empress, and the most qualified heir to the new generation of throne is the eldest princess Zhang Lan'er.

Zhang Cen'er narrowed her eyes slightly. "I'm afraid I must have offended her in order to gain a foothold in the Xuanyuan Dynasty. When will she get married?"

Yin Ping lowered her eyebrows, "On the eighth day of the sixth month, there is one more thing. Mr. Gao once saved His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. The two of them were close friends."

Zhang Cen'er planned in his mind and a plan came to mind.
