After a while.

"County Lady, you are overthinking, which has caused severe palpitations. You can't sleep well at night, which will affect your body's Qi and blood over time. Therefore, you look listless and your mood... is also very bad. You can't control your temper!"

The Princess of Qingyang County was a little surprised: "You are right, you have some skills. The perfume powder you gave me before is very useful. Did you bring it this time?"

"Yes, County Lady. I thought that the only reason you would remember me was this perfume powder, so I brought a big bag of it with me. I hope you will accept it!"

"Well, you're smart!" Princess Qingyang felt much better when she smelled the faint fragrance from Bai Zhaozhao.

Bai Zhaozhao looked at the purses placed in front of the county lady, and a thought occurred to him: "County lady, as the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it. I wonder what is bothering you? Are these purses not to your liking?"

It was impossible for the Princess of Qingyang County to worry too much about her purse. This was just an excuse for Bai Zhaozhao to start a conversation.

"Oh, what's the use of a purse no matter how beautiful it is? He will only put it away and will never wear it." The Princess of Qingyang County could not help but laugh at herself.

In fact, the Princess of Qingyang County also knew that Zhong Jingchen was the eldest grandson of the Zhong family, and his wife would be the future headmistress of the Zhong family. The first choice must be a young lady carefully trained by a prominent family. Unless the emperor grants the marriage, he will not respond to her.

Bai Zhaozhao understood that it seemed that things were not going well between the county princess and Young Master Zhong.

In the original novel, the Princess of Qingyang County was also a simple love-brained person. After falling in love with Cheng Jiayu, she kept sending him good things. She was simply a tool to provide him with spiritual objects. She was the second biggest enemy after Bai Zhaozhao, and had basically no intersection with the original owner.

However, after Cheng Jiayu entered the Hanlin Academy, she was sent back to her relatives at the border by the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, Bai Zhaozhao added some secret medicinal herbs into the incense powder. She wanted to see how Cheng Jiayu could win the favor of the county lady after she cured her mania. How could she use this tool when they didn't even have any interactions?

As for the county lord's love brain, Bai Zhaozhao can only try to see if she can save it. If not, there is nothing she can do. As long as the object of her love brain is not Cheng Jiayu, it will be fine.

"County Lady, what kind of wife do you think Mr. Zhong needs?"

The Princess of Qingyang County was stunned. She didn't expect that a daughter of a minor official would dare to ask her this question directly. However, she was in a good mood now. She always felt that there was a strange power in the woman opposite her that could make her feel at ease.

So the Princess of Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "He needs a wife who can help him manage the harem and the household affairs, and who can also support him in the court."

After saying this, the Princess of Qingyang County mocked herself and said, "Someone like me who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and has the title of Princess in vain, is not qualified, right?

Because I can't be like those daughters of noble families, who are good at dealing with people, manage the family business well, and take care of all the trivial matters in the rear house.

But the Queen Mother told me that all the properties under my name are managed by a special royal historian, and I just need to live my life without worries. "

So that's how it is. It seems that the Queen Mother deliberately did not train the Princess of Qingyang. She simply hoped that she could live a carefree life. She would probably find her a second son who has no family pressure to be her husband in the future. It's a pity that she fell in love with Zhong Jingchen.

In fact, Princess Qingyang also has some capital. First of all, her father is the famous Marshal Xie, and the Xie family is a large family that has guarded the northwestern border for a hundred years. The Xie family army is even more famous and renowned throughout the world!

Secondly, the Princess of Qingyang County had a fiefdom, which was located in the south of Shangjing City, Qingyang County under the jurisdiction of Nanshan County.

Since ancient times, women have had fiefdoms. Although they cannot actually exercise power, they can collect taxes and influence government affairs. As for the extent of the influence, it depends on how capable the woman is.

For example, in the history of the Tianyuan Dynasty, powerful princesses had control over their fiefdoms no less than kings and princes. Weak princesses, although they nominally had fiefdoms, could only collect taxes set by others, or might not even get the tax money.

The Princess of Qingyang is currently the only Princess of the Tianyuan Dynasty who has a fiefdom!

Again, Princess Qingyang is the only girl that the Queen Mother keeps by her side. Even the princesses do not have this honor, so as long as she is willing, she can really live a worry-free life!

I think this is also the reason why Madam Zhong allowed the county princess to follow them to Linyang County. It's not that she didn't consider her, but that she had to consider her carefully.

Because even if she has no special abilities, the strength behind her is enough to attract the Zhong family.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhaozhao said firmly: "County Lady, you don't have to belittle yourself. Your advantages are unmatched by any daughter of an aristocratic family!"

The Princess of Qingyang County was surprised: "Me? Do I have an advantage that they can't compare to?"

"Of course!" Bai Zhaozhao said seriously, "County Lady, you are also the legitimate daughter of the century-old Xie family, but the Xie family is far away at the border, so people in the capital subconsciously ignore this fact.

But you must always know that no matter who marries you in the future, the emperor will treat your husband's family well because of the Xie family's century-long loyalty and bravery, so the Xie family army is your greatest asset!

In addition, you have a fief, so if you want, you can fully exert your influence, just like the Princess Ningyang in history, and develop your fief to prosperity. Then Mr. Zhong will see your value and ability!"

After hearing what Bai Zhaozhao said, Princess Qingyang was shocked. She had never thought that she had something so to be proud of. Yes, what she said were things that she usually overlooked.

She had always felt that she was not as good as the daughters of aristocratic families, but now, Bai Zhaozhao told her that she had advantages that others did not have.

Bai Zhaozhao didn't know whether saying this could open up the mind of the Princess of Qingyang County. She just felt that it would be a pity if such a good female supporting role was just a love-brained person.

The Princess of Qingyang County was still a little dazed. She said in disbelief, "You mean, I should find a way to support Qingyang County and make it prosperous so as to gain popularity among the people? In this way, everyone will look at me differently, including Zhong Jingchen."

"Yes, County Lady, if you can treat the people of Qingyang County well, reduce taxes, or pay them to the national treasury, even the Queen Mother will be happy for you."

"But, but how can I compare to Princess Ningyang? She is a famous talented woman who is good at both literature and martial arts."

"Of course I'm not asking you to compete with Princess Ningyang. Her fiefdom is much larger than yours. You just need to do some good things for the people in Qingyang County, so that they can have enough food and clothing, and gain a good reputation!"

"But I don't know anything, how can I do it?" Princess Qingyang hesitated.

"Don't worry, County Lord." Bai Zhaozhao encouraged, "Everything should be done slowly. You can first find some talented managers and send them directly to Qingyang County to help you manage taxes. As long as they don't oppress the people, they will surely gain a good impression in their hearts."
