After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

King Cheng was meeting with court officials in private, so he also rode in an ordinary carriage in a low-key manner.

Moreover, he asked the coachman to book a private room, and not many people knew his identity.

He kicked the door and called out his name.

But afterwards, someone was sent to keep the matter secret, and the incident in the teahouse did not become public.

However, the court official he had an appointment with stood him up and never went to meet him in the teahouse. Afterwards, he sent someone to tell him that he had been replaced in shift and stayed at his duty station in the palace, and was unable to go in time.

He was feeling very angry at the time, thinking about his princess who was secretly meeting with a young man in the private room opposite.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he impulsively kicked the door.

After returning to the palace, the two of them closed the door and looked unhappy with each other.

Princess Cheng got straight to the point, "That man is Gu Qingshan's brother-in-law. He hates Song Mingli so much and wants to find Song Mingli to avenge his sister."

King Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, he finally figured out the relationship.

But his expression did not relax as Princess Cheng expected.

Instead, there was more sarcasm and disdain on his face.

“When Su was exiled, she was just a concubine, and in the past, she was even Gu Qingshan’s mistress who was not allowed to be seen in public.”

"You are a princess, and you are meeting the brothers of your concubines?"

"You still want to use him to deal with Song Mingli? Xu Jinshu, your methods are getting more and more vulgar! You are a princess, how can you..."

Is this so unpresentable?

Prince Cheng immediately remembered the kindness and gentleness on the Crown Princess's face when she faced Xu Liangdi.

That is the demeanor of a true mistress of the house!

No wonder she could become the Crown Princess.

King Cheng looked at his wife, who had fine lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth and a mean look on her face, and he couldn't help but feel more disgusted.

"Be a good princess and take good care of the inner chambers! Stop using these unpresentable tricks!"

"The Su family was just defeated by Song Mingli. How much stronger can her brother be? If he really has the ability, he can go and avenge his sister himself! You just sit back and watch the show!"

"You're lowering yourself by getting involved with him! You're degrading yourself!"

Princess Cheng's face turned red and white, and she felt like vomiting blood.

He said it so easily, as if he had gotten something from Prince Jing?

No, he is conceited and thinks he is better than the Crown Prince and Prince Jing, but he is always inferior to them.

He couldn't fight back, so he could only shut himself in and scold his wife.

Princess Cheng complained inwardly and lowered her head to hide her dissatisfaction.

When King Cheng saw her like this, he knew that she had not listened to a word he said.

He sighed and warned, "Don't let me know there will be a next time! Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about Huai Lin and Huai Xu."

"You..." Princess Cheng raised her eyes in shock and anger.

King Cheng snorted coldly, "If you don't believe it, try it."

After saying that, he walked away.

Princess Cheng was so angry that she slammed the table.

But...Su Zhengyang has already taken her banknote!

He wouldn't just do nothing, right?

King Cheng's words were unpleasant, but there was one thing he said that was right.

There was no need for her to get involved in the feud between Su Zhengyang and Song Mingli; she could just watch from the sidelines.

Princess Cheng smiled coldly, "Song Mingli, I'm waiting to see you cry."

……

Not only did Song Mingli not cry at this moment, she was also smiling happily.

Because Chu Yanchen told him that the court was already investigating the Nancun incident.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has already sold the extra land, and as you can see, some shops are already planned and under construction."

"Although some of them have not been built yet, the land has been sold to individuals. So, they will be returned to Nancun..."

He shook his head. It was impossible to give them back and let them continue farming.

"Nan Village is relatively poor. If the commercial street over there can be developed, it can drive the development of Nan Village and improve their lives. It may not be a bad thing for them." Song Mingli said.

Chu Yanchen nodded, "The court has also decided so. So next, the Ministry of Revenue will convert the extra land into silver to compensate the people of Nancun."

"The officials involved in this matter have been dismissed and investigated. The prince is very satisfied that we were able to take the initiative in this matter so quickly."

"The former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a student of Prime Minister Yu Jiuren. Now he has been dismissed, and my father has appointed Zhang Ke to replace him."

Song Mingli listened quietly to Chu Yanchen telling her about the affairs of the court.

It can be heard that the prince trusts him more and more, and no longer makes some decisions without telling him.

There are some things that can be directly entrusted to him to do.

What's more, the prince ordered someone to pick up Jingyou to study with his eldest son Chu Xiyuan.

Its intention is also very obvious.

"Father has given the Crown Prince full authority to plan the future development of Nancun. Nancun is not a large place, but at the beginning of the planning, many court officials bought land there."

"So this incident will also affect the impression of the Crown Prince among the court officials and in the heart of the Emperor. It can be said that the incident is not a big deal, but the impact is not small."

Song Mingli nodded and suddenly asked, "Did the prince buy any land over there?"

Chu Yanchen shook his head. "I have been at the border before and never paid attention to these things, so naturally I didn't buy them."

"Then we can buy some." Song Mingli said with a smile.

Chu Yanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "You can arrange the money on the account of the palace. If it is not enough, tell me again."

She didn't even explain the cause and effect, she just said she wanted to buy it.

Chu Yanchen immediately expressed his opinion and said that the money on the account could be arranged.

Song Mingli was touched for a moment by such an attitude of trust.

"Trust me so much?"

"You and I are husband and wife. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

Song Mingli chuckled, "You and I are husband and wife, that's a relationship. But doing things for money is a skill. Your Highness trusts my ability so much?"

Chu Yanchen said seriously, "When it comes to ability, there is nothing to say. Look, you do business with my sister and she makes a lot of money."

"You have chosen Qi Liang. He calls himself your chief steward, but in fact he is already the president of Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce. Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce is the leader of the three major chambers of commerce in Beili."

"You and your aunt are in the same business of running a silver shop. Baoqinglou is already the best silver shop in Kyoto and is well-known in Beili."

"I heard that nowadays, if you can bring out jewelry designed and made by Master Qi from Baoqing Tower at weddings or funerals, it will be the centerpiece of the event and a very prestigious thing."

Chu Yanchen looked at her with a smile, "Do you still need to doubt your ability?"

Song Ming was overwhelmed with joy, "I am so flattered by your praise."

"With me here, you can go ahead and do whatever you want." Chu Yanchen smiled deeply.

Song Mingli was in charge of his own private finances as well as the accounts of Prince Jing's Mansion.

She thought about it and told Chu Yanchen directly, "I will spend 100,000 taels from the palace's account to buy land and shops. When the money is earned, it will naturally go to the palace's public account."

"I will also take out some of my own private money, and the money earned will belong to me."

Chu Yanchen smiled dotingly, "All of this will be arranged by the princess."

……

After discussing with Chu Yanchen, Song Mingli asked someone to invite Qi Liang into the mansion.

"Have you heard about the court's plan to develop Yong'an Street in Nancun?" Song Mingli asked.

Qi Liang nodded, "Although it has not been announced to the public, I heard that a group of officials who secretly operated the land in Nancun were punished, and the news that the court wanted to rectify the area has leaked out."

“Have the land prices and shops there increased now?”

"Not yet. The land there has been delayed for a long time. Yong'an 1st Street has been built for a year. When it was first put on sale, it was hotly sought after for a while."

"But the second and third phases of the project have been delayed and have not started. People who bought shops and land have lost confidence and said that Yong'an Street will be left alone."

Song Mingli nodded thoughtfully. Lost confidence? That's just right.
