The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

In Songcuizhai.

Aunt Cheng and Cuiwei served tea to the three people and then left first.

Princess Fuhua has a good relationship with Eunuch Chen.

When Princess Fuhua was still in the palace, Eunuch Chen was just the most humble eunuch who swept the house and ran errands in Empress Xiaoxian's courtyard.

Now time passes, years go by, and the old friends are gone.

Those people around the old friend either followed him or had other fortunes.

This eunuch Chen has the greatest fortune.

From a small eunuch who was bullied by everyone, he has now become a senior eunuch in the Imperial Household Department.

Princess Fuhua helped him several times when she lived in the palace.

Eunuch Chen has always been grateful to Princess Fuhua.

There was actually no need for him to take action for today's imperial decree, but he still volunteered.

At this moment he was sitting with Princess Fuhua.

"What does the princess want to ask?" Eunuch Chen asked Princess Fuhua.

Princess Fuhua did not beat around the bush and asked Eunuch Chen directly, "What's the matter with this decree? Did His Majesty make the decision himself?"

She always felt that something was wrong.

When she entered the palace yesterday, she clearly asked His Majesty for the title of county princess, and she did not dare to ask for any fiefdom or land.

His Majesty didn't say anything at that time.

How come she has become a princess today and has been granted a mansion and a fiefdom?

A fief of eight hundred households is no small amount.

Even the eldest brother’s fiefdom, inherited from his ancestors, had no more than a thousand households.

Among the legitimate royal relatives, except for the crown prince who has more, the other princes have only about 1,500 households a year, and Princess Ancheng has only a thousand households. Yanyan's 800 households are already higher than many people.

Eunuch Chen had long guessed that Princess Fuhua would ask about this, so he did not hide it and said to Princess Fuhua, "This is the decree I received. However, when I was drinking with Eunuch Zhongning yesterday, he revealed that Prince Chang'an came to the palace again last evening. The status of the princess, the mansion and the fief were requested by Prince Chang'an from His Majesty."

Mingjin hadn't said anything before.

After hearing this, his eyes fell on the eunuch Chen opposite him.

Eunuch Chen looked at Ming Jin with a smile and said to her, "My princess is very lucky. I have been in the palace for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen the prince ask for grace on behalf of someone else."

Mingjin didn't know what to say.

She guessed that Gu Mingheng still felt that he owed her something, so he tried every way to make it up to her.

Mingjin felt helpless.

She really didn't think it was necessary.

But the decree had already been issued, so she couldn't say anything. She could only thank Eunuch Chen: "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Chen."

"You're welcome."

Eunuch Chen said with a smile, and then said to Mingjin: "The mansion that His Majesty gave you was also selected by the prince himself. It is on Huangqin Street."

He then turned to look at Princess Fuhua and said, "It's not far from your princess's mansion."

Princess Fuhua shook her head: "Yixian this child."

But compared to Mingjin's helplessness, she was much happier.

The status of a princess is much higher than that of a county princess, not to mention she also has a fief.

Men are divided into dukes, marquises and earls, and women are divided into princesses, county ladies, county ladies and princesses. Throughout history, county ladies are mostly daughters of princes, but not every county lady can enjoy food and have her own residence.

Princess Fuhua went to all this trouble.

Originally, he just wanted to create a good future for his precious granddaughter, so that those outsiders would not dare to talk too much about her past, and that her future path would be smoother.

Now that things have been done better than she originally thought, how could she not be happy?

After speaking to Eunuch Chen for a few more words, when Aunt Cheng sent them away, she held Mingjin's hand and said, "Since it was Yixian who did it, you don't have to worry."

I thought about it.

She said to Mingjin again: "Yixian has been feeling indebted to you all these years. Now that he has done it, just let him be."

"This child is just like the late emperor, with a sincere heart. If you don't ask him to do something for you, he will be the one who suffers."

Mingjin nodded.

She was not the kind of person who would not acknowledge a friendship. Although she felt it was unnecessary, she would not say anything to Gu Mingheng.

Besides, in the final analysis, this matter has only benefits for her and no harm.

Although it is a fief, in fact, since the reign of the previous emperor, the fief was no longer a fiefdom or land, but became money.

Take two hundred coins per household as an example.

Then eight hundred households are equivalent to the tax money of eight hundred households, which means that she can get 160,000 yuan every year in the future.

In a family like the Marquis's Mansion, the monthly salary for a maid is usually only one tael, and for a concubine's daughter it is ten taels. Even for people like her and Ming Yao, they would only get fifteen to twenty taels at most.

One tael is equal to ten coins, two hundred coins are equal to twenty taels, and these eight hundred fiefs are equal to 160,000 coins, or 16,000 pieces of silver.

Sixteen thousand...

Not to mention now, even when she married Gu Changxuan in her previous life, she didn't have so much money.

Naturally there is a lot of money in the prince's mansion, but not to mention that the money does not belong to her. Gu Changxuan has so many people under him, and the hundreds of mouths in the mansion alone would cost a lot every year.

Not to mention those people that Gu Changxuan secretly supported.

Although in this life Ming Yuandu gave her a badge allowing her to withdraw money from home at will.

But it's always different.

None of the money belonged to her, and she could only withdraw a small amount at will.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble in the future, she can get 16,000 yuan every year.

A penny can make a hero fail, and conversely, money can make the devil work.

Mingjin knows the importance of money.

With this money, she can do whatever she wants in the future. Even if she never gets married, she can still support herself well.

At this moment, Mingjin was finally moved, and she was really grateful to Gu Mingheng for doing all this for her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Princess Fuhua couldn't help but ask when she saw her granddaughter's strange expression.

Ming Jin did not hide anything and told the truth: "I am wondering how I should spend so much money in the future."

Princess Fuhua was slightly startled by these words, but when she came to her senses, she became overjoyed again: "Girl, when did you become so obsessed with money?"

The words say so.

But Princess Fuhua still smiled and rubbed Mingjin's head, and said to her softly: "Your money, you can spend it however you want, no one can control you."

Mingjin knew that her grandmother was making a promise and assurance to her.

She smiled gently and responded, then leaned her head on Princess Fuhua's shoulder.

After all, it's a happy event.

Princess Fuhua was happy and rubbed Mingjin's head gently. She told the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes today so that the two of them could have a good meal. She also told Aunt Cheng to give rewards to the maids in the courtyard and Mingjin so that the servants would also be happy.

There was a peaceful and happy atmosphere in Songcui Zhai.

……

Naturally, the affairs of the Anyuan Marquis’ Mansion could not be hidden from other families in the capital.

There was such a big fuss in the palace, and it was Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came to announce the decree. Almost as soon as they left, someone would come to inquire about the matter.

When everyone learned about the two happy events in Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, they were extremely surprised.

Arrangement of marriage is not a rare thing.

In the early years, the Anyuan Marquisate had made a marriage contract with the Fourth Prince, and those people outside had long regarded Mingyao as the Fourth Prince's consort.

Although people outside have been speculating a lot recently about who the Fourth Prince will marry, the candidate is still within their range of speculation.

It's just that the prince's wife became the prince's concubine.

But considering Mingyao's identity and the current situation of Anyuan Marquis Mansion, it is not bad.

But this eldest daughter of the Anyuan Marquis's family was suddenly personally conferred the title of Princess by His Majesty, and was also granted a fief and a mansion. This was an unprecedented event.

Over the years, Daqian hasn't conferred an honor on someone like this.

The princess is of the first rank.

Although he has no real power, his status is extremely noble.

What's more, Mingjin also enjoys a fief.

Now, in the Anyuan Marquis’ Mansion, it can be said that except for the Princess Fuhua, even the Anyuan Marquis cannot compare to the Changle Princess.

How can one not be envious and shocked by this?

A young lady like this, as long as she doesn't make any mistakes in the future, can enjoy so much money almost every year. I'm afraid that many people will want to marry this Princess Changle in the future.

After all, in this world, money is everything.

Because of this reason, Mingjin has received many invitations recently.

Either today this lady invites her to have tea, or tomorrow that lady invites her to appreciate flowers. The invitations have piled up into a thick stack, but Ming Jin is not interested in these things.

In her previous life, she had played many fake games to stabilize relationships. In this life, she just wanted to be with her grandmother and be happy.

I don't want to attend these unnecessary banquets anymore.

a few days later.

Mingjin plans to go out for a walk.

Two days ago, the palace's fief for this year was delivered, including two full boxes of money and the address of the mansion.

Since he hadn't figured out what to do with the money yet, Mingjin asked Chunyu to collect all the money first, set aside a portion for daily expenses, and marked the rest, sealed it with a note, and locked it for storage.

The key was first given to Chunyu and kept by her.

Chunyu was very shocked when he got it.

She could see that the girl valued Hua Sui. Although the girl was also very good to her, she could clearly feel that the girl felt differently about Hua Sui. She did not dare to be jealous and just did her own thing honestly every day, not daring to seek favor.

She didn't expect the girl to give her such an important thing.

She was stunned for a long time when she got the key that day. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she cried secretly. After that, she tied the key around her neck and touched it many times every day, for fear that she would lose the key.

Today Mingjin plans to visit her own princess's mansion.

Although Mingjin had no plans to live there at this time, it was her own house after all, and she wanted to go and see what it was like inside.

Lived two lifetimes.

Mingjin has never really owned a house of her own, and she is a little looking forward to it.

Princess Fuhua originally wanted to accompany her, but because it was raining today, Mingjin was afraid that the road would be difficult to walk on and that her rheumatism would relapse, so she did not let her accompany her, but took Aunt Cheng and Hua Sui out with her.

The word "Aunt" means Princess Fuhua.

Although Mingjin no longer lives in her own princess's mansion, she still needs to prepare the people and things that need to be prepared. This is the face given by His Majesty and also Mingjin's own face.

She was worried that her granddaughter was too young to know what to do, so she asked Aunt Cheng to go over and take a look.

Now a group of people were walking towards the gatehouse. Every autumn rain brought a chill. There had been three autumn rains this year, and the weather was getting colder.

When Mingjin went out today, she had already changed out of her light summer clothes and put on autumn clothes.

Hua Sui and Aunt Cheng followed Ming Jin on both sides.

When the three of them were about to reach the gatehouse, they ran into Ming Yao who was also going out.

Haven't seen you for a few days.

Although they live under the same roof.

But Princess Fuhua liked quietness, and Mingjin never went to Zhou Zhaoru's place, so naturally she and Mingyao had no chance to meet.

The two sides will collide head-on.

Mingjin looked normal, but Mingyao was slightly startled.

When she came to her senses, she remembered to salute Ming Jin: "Princess."

She didn't make a fuss. Knowing that Mingjin didn't like her calling her Seventh Sister, she changed her name to Princess.

Now in this Marquis' Mansion, the person she fears most is Ming Jin.

After several confrontations, Mingyao was very clear that she was no match for Mingjin, and she didn't dare to confront her anymore.

Now she just wants to stay safely in the Ming family.

Waiting for the Imperial Observatory to set a date so that she can marry Gu Changxuan.

Mingjin ignored Mingyao and didn't even look at her.

She still didn't like Ming Yao and it was impossible for her to be on good terms with her, even though she and Ming Yao were not on opposite sides in this life and had different desires, but she was not so kind-hearted as to let go of her grudges and get along with her peacefully.

Not taking the initiative to do anything for her is already her greatest tolerance.

She brushed past Mingyao with an indifferent expression and left with Aunt Cheng and Hua Sui.

Mingyao was humiliated by her, but she didn't feel bad about it.

After doing it so many times, she has gotten used to it.

In fact, since she no longer thought about competing with Ming Jin for the favor of the Ming family and no longer regarded her as a competitor, she no longer had any resentment towards Ming Jin.

put yourself in.

If she were Mingjin and she had her things taken away from her, she couldn't have done better than her.

Not disturbing each other was already the greatest face she could give him.

Ming Yao lowered her head and waited for Ming Jin to leave before she stood up.

Looking back, Ming Jin had been helped into the carriage, and soon the carriage was driven away by the coachman.

Ming Yao watched the carriage leave, then turned around and said to Qian Shuang, "Let's go too." She was going to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Xian today.

Qianshuang nodded softly and helped Mingyao into another carriage.

Two carriages went to two places.

As the carriage started off, Qian Shuang suddenly thought of something and let out a soft cry.

Mingyao frowned slightly after hearing this.

"what happened?"

She asked Qian Shuang.

Qian Shuang looked worried, and said to Ming Yao, "When you came out today, you didn't go to greet Madam. I'm afraid Madam will be angry again."

It’s also her fault for forgetting to remind the girl.

The girl is engaged to the Fourth Prince. Although she is only the prince's concubine, it is still a happy event. The girl has received quite a few invitations recently.

She was happy for a moment and then forgot about it.

It was only now that I remembered what happened to my wife.

Thinking of the lady's temper these days, Qian Shuang was worried that the girl would be scolded by the lady when she returned.

Mingyao remained calm despite this.

From the moment she received the imperial edict, she was no longer afraid of Zhou Zhaoru, nor would she continue to try to please Zhou Zhaoru as she did before.

She even didn't go to Zhou Zhaoru to pay her respects this morning. In fact, she did it on purpose.

She didn’t know what this experience was like before, and didn’t understand how Mingjin dared to do this, but now that she has experienced it herself, she realizes how great it feels.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Mother will understand." Ming Yao said in a light tone, and did not tell Yu Qianshuang what she was thinking.

The expression on her face was no longer as fearful as before.

If Zhou Zhaoru had a clear mind, she would know that now was not the time for her to show off.

If she still wants to acknowledge her as her daughter, she should get along well with her.

Then she was willing to maintain superficial peace with her and respect her well.

If she doesn't want to...

Mingyuandu will not continue to allow her to do whatever she wants.

After all, Ming Yuandu knows how to maintain these relationships.

No matter whether it is the crown prince, the third prince or the fourth prince, as long as the His Majesty on the dragon throne is still there, it is hard to say who will ascend to the throne in the future.

How could he not maintain these relationships?

Even if she really offended Zhou Zhaoru, Ming Yuandu would give her all the face she deserved.

As Mingyao thought about this, she felt more and more that this marriage was a timely help, otherwise she would not know what to do.

She sat in the carriage happily, sipping her tea slowly, and said with a smile: "Today's tea is so fragrant."

Zhou Zhaoru, who had been waiting for Mingyao for a long time, got angry again in his own yard.

But apart from the servants around her, no one else could comfort her.
