After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 28: Spring is the Auspicious Time
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the woman's graceful figure was like a fairy dyed golden by the sunset glow, elegant as a poem.
She spun slowly in the setting sun, and every move she made was heart-stirring and intoxicating.
Lu Linchu was so fascinated by the scene that his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with Jiu Niang.
"Sir."
The young eunuch beside him noticed something was wrong and called out to him.
Hearing the voice, Ji Chun reacted first and immediately stopped sword dancing. Fu Guiyun also stood up slowly to greet him.
As soon as she bowed, Lu Linchu came back to his senses and waved at her magnanimously.
"The Crown Prince's wife is not feeling well. No need to be polite. Please sit down and rest."
Feeling unwell?
Fu Guiyun glanced at Nanny Tong in confusion, then nodded with his hands covering his mouth, understanding what she meant: "Ahem, ahem, thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
The two of them sat down together. Fu Guiyun saw that he still turned his head from time to time to look at Ji Chun. He probably had an idea in his heart. He was secretly happy, but pretended not to know and asked: "Thank you for taking the punishment for me today, I wonder if your injury is serious?"
Lu Linchu smiled faintly: "It's just a flesh wound, it's not a big deal. You have done nothing wrong, there is no reason for you to be punished for this prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent two eunuchs to open the boxes that had been brought.
"This is the thirty thousand taels of silver that the Crown Prince's wife took on for this Crown Prince. I sent someone to exchange it for gold bars. If it's not enough, I can only exchange it for silver. Ask someone to count it."
Fu Guiyun glanced at the golden box and was quite surprised.
"Where did you get so much money in such a short time?"
He would be able to return south before the New Year, so he exchanged it for gold bars for her convenience. He was really thoughtful. Fu Guiyun couldn't help but feel touched: "I'm not in a hurry to spend the silver, but the prince needs to spend money everywhere, so why not keep it for now."
"How can I, the prince of Liyang Palace, be stumped by a mere little silver?"
As soon as Lu Linchu opened his mouth, his face felt hot.
Without showing any emotion, he quickly changed the subject and asked in a gentle voice, "I still owe you three months' salary. Please send someone to calculate my monthly salary and use this as payment."
He even calculated the monthly salary he was fined. Fu Guiyun knew that the boy didn't want to owe him a favor, so he didn't act pretentiously and calculated it carefully for him.
"Your Highness is entitled to a monthly salary of 500 taels of silver from the imperial court. Your father and mother are generous and have given you an additional 800 taels of government silver each month. It will only take you a little over a month to pay off the salary I fined you, so you don't have to rush."
According to the laws of the Dakang clan, the princess consort of a royal palace could enjoy an annual salary of 320 taels from the imperial court.
Lu Linchu was the only son of the royal family, so naturally the Crown Prince's wife valued him very much. Before Fu Guiyun entered the palace, the Prince of Liyang and his wife had already set a monthly salary of five hundred taels of silver for her.
Lu Linchu roughly calculated that the salary from the imperial court was paid once a year, and now he could only live on the monthly salary from the government.
"Then I'll send someone to collect the monthly salary in two months." He said calmly, hiding the embarrassment on his face.
Fu Guiyun didn't know where he got the money from at this critical moment, but he could guess that it must be difficult.
Even after his mother-in-law beat him with fifty sticks, she still didn't stop paying his salary, mostly because she was concerned about the two children he had in the courtyard.
Thinking of this, Fu Guiyun sent Cuiluo to bring over two hundred taels of silver notes, two hundred-year-old ginsengs, and several pieces of high-quality cloth.
"Your Highness has been strong all his life. His father and mother are naturally pleased that you are so strong-willed. However, the young master is still ill, so the young master must take care of him and Miss Yu."
Pointing at the things Cuiluo put on the table, Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "These can be regarded as my concern for the two children as a stepmother."
Hearing her mention her two children, Lu Linchu closed his eyes unable to bear it.
"Thank you."
He did not refuse and asked the servant to take the things.
When he stood up, he looked up inadvertently and saw that the woman dancing with the sword had come to Fu Guiyun. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
At this glance, he actually saw some of Jiu Niang's spirit.
"Who is this?"
Lu Linchu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Guiyun.
"Oh, she is my maidservant who came with me as a dowry, her name is Jichun."
Fu Guiyun replied calmly: "The prince has seen it before."
"Seen?"
Lu Linchu searched his mind, but could not remember anything. He looked at Jichun and said with interest, "Jichun, Jichun, auspicious time coincides with spring, what a good name."
After he finished speaking, he led his men away.
"What is this, Prince?"
Ji Chun was completely confused.
"Of course I'm praising you."
Fu Guiyun replied, thinking back on everything that had happened today, it was indeed auspicious timing.
The good news of Nan Gui came, and it happened that Lu Linchu had already developed a good impression of Ji Chun at this time, so the upcoming Spring Banquet would be much easier to handle.
The young emperor would never have staged such a scene to humiliate an insignificant woman like her, but could only have been targeting his mother-in-law.
I think the young emperor was aware of the existence of Yun Ling, and he also knew that his mother-in-law was ill, so he did it on purpose.
No matter how much trouble Lu Linchu made in the mansion or even in the capital, it would only be a family disgrace. However, if he brought Yun Ling to Huajiang Lake for a banquet, not only would it be a blatant violation of etiquette, but it would also cause a misconduct in front of the emperor. Even if the young emperor did not punish him, his mother-in-law would definitely be very angry given her temper.
The young emperor really had evil intentions, and she could not allow this to happen.
"Jichun, you accompany Cuiluo, Nanny Tong and the others to return the silver and money sent by the prince to the treasury. Qinglu and I will go to Changchun Palace."
After giving some careful instructions, Fu Guiyun led Qinglu out.
Right now, as long as the mother-in-law is safe, everything else is trivial.
Walking on the bluestone path paved with the fragrance of flowers in the inner court, from time to time you can see servants gathered together and talking in whispers.
Fu Guiyun sent Qinglu to inquire and found out that Lu Linchu had sold off his own belongings to pay her back the money, even pawning a lot of the clothes and jewelry he had given to Yun Ling. She was really amused and confused when she heard this.
"My son-in-law has a clear understanding with the Crown Prince's wife, but I feel sorry for the one in Yurongju."
Qinglu laughed heartily and said, "I just heard from Ah Yu, Ah Wen and the others that Yun Ling was crying so hard that all the utensils in the room were smashed to pieces, and it almost alarmed the entire palace."
"Then you can still laugh, girl."
Fu Guiyun shook his head helplessly.
She really has the temper of a young lady, and she likes to smash things at the slightest provocation.
Who would have thought that every item in the palace would be enough to support the expenses of an ordinary family for one or two years.
He quickened his pace and arrived at Changchun Palace. Ye Zhilan already knew about Yurongju. He was frowning at first, but when he saw his daughter-in-law coming, he quickly turned to a smile to greet her.
Pulling Fu Guiyun to sit in the inner bedroom, Ye Zhilan praised him with great joy: "Chu'er really impressed me this time. It's all thanks to you, Yun'er, for teaching your husband well."
Knowing that she was talking about Lu Linchu selling his belongings to repay his debts, Fu Guiyun said awkwardly: "Sir..."
But just as she opened her mouth, Ye Zhilan interrupted her, saying, "Husband and wife should still consider what they should consider. It is not reasonable to use the mistress's money to please the concubine, not to mention that Yunling is just a nameless and worthless girl."
She was very happy about what happened today and felt much more energetic.
"Let this evil creature deal with the matter of Yurongju by himself. We two mothers should not bother with it. Take good care of yourself these few days. After all, you have rarely been to the palace. In three days, your mother will personally accompany you to Huajiang Lake to attend the Spring Banquet."
After saying this, he took out his treasure chest, personally selected several pieces of brocade for her, put on some jewelry and hairpins, and ordered Nanny Kong to send them to the weaving room in the palace to make a dress for her to attend the banquet.
Seeing his mother-in-law so happy, Fu Guiyun couldn't spoil her mood and just glanced at Nanny Jiang secretly.
