The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Brother Emperor, are you still reviewing memorials? You are truly a diligent and wise ruler."

When the emperor heard Zhou Shiyue's voice, he woke up with a start.

He looked at the memorial opened in front of him and calmed down.

This memorial states that the weather in the north today is abnormal.

It is said that it snowed early, and there had been a long drought before that. The people were in a panic, and it would probably be difficult to collect taxes there this year.

He just took such a nap, but he didn't dream about his father? Was his father tired of playing?

He was much more awake, and when he saw the lights again, he couldn't help but look up at Zhou Shiyue, "Why are you in the palace so late at night?"

The palace has been closed for a long time, right?

Prince Jin is still in the palace!

Zhou Shiyue looked a little hurt immediately.

"Brother, have you forgotten the promise I made before that I can stay overnight in the palace at any time?"

"My royal brother said that this place will always be my home."

"My royal brother also said that he believed that I would never be the kind of person who would mess around, so I don't need to worry about the taboos in the harem."

"So, your Majesty, these words are just to tease me, me?"

Zhou Shiyue's series of words and his sad expression made the emperor feel a little cold.

"I'm just asking a question."

The result led to this series.

The emperor and his subjects are his brothers. Zhou Shiyue had said as much before.

"Aren't you going to the southwest? I thought you would be busy preparing for the journey."

"I am preparing. I am not asking my brother because I have encountered a problem."

The emperor felt something was wrong when he heard this. He really had a bad feeling, so he simply pretended to be deaf and pretended not to hear it, and could not ask him what problem he encountered.

"On this trip to the southwest, I have to take Lu Zhaoling and a few guards with me. We have to change horses along the way. We can't let the horses run to death."

As a result, even if he didn't ask, Zhou Shiyue would tell himself.

"And you will definitely have to stay in an inn, and you will have to eat and drink along the way. Once you get to the southwest, if you encounter any emergencies, you may need money to settle them."

"This is the first time I'm taking Lu Zhaoling on a long journey, so I shouldn't be too stingy, don't you think? If we win the battle in the southwest, we should go shopping on the way back, right? I'm also thinking of bringing back some gifts from all over the country for you, my brother."

Emperor: Thank you so much, can I not have it?

"Also, since my brother asked us to go to the southwest, he should also send a small group of guards to accompany us, right? Do I have to pay for all these expenses?"

Zhou Shiyue looked at him with innocent eyes.

emperor:"......"

"It's not that I don't have money, but you know, I've been playing around for a few years and I've been a bit extravagant when I travel around. I can't change my spending habits."

Are there still people who can talk so confidently about spending lavishly on traveling for a few years?

"Besides, this trip is also for my royal brother, right? Please give me some candy."

When the King of Jin spoke, he watched the other party's reaction.

He said the first few sentences in a relatively tactful way, but when he saw that the emperor wanted to play deaf and dumb, he immediately changed his strategy and said the last sentence, asking for it directly.

The prince could all think that Lu Zhaoling could make money in the capital, and this trip to the southwest would mean a loss of time to make money in the capital. How could he not have thought of this?

Besides, if we need to change horses midway, then of course we should go directly to the Emperor.

The official post horses were prepared first, and someone would replace them directly when they arrived. This was of course better than them having to go find and buy horses themselves.

It would be just right to change the horses back on the way back.

The emperor stroked his forehead.

He felt that Zhou Shiyue had also taken a lot of money from him recently. No, not only Zhou Shiyue, but also Lu Zhaoling.

He had not even met Lu Zhaoling yet, but he had already given her a lot of rewards.

"Lu Zhaoling took 100,000 yuan from Qingfuhou Mansion before..."

The emperor could not help but bring up this matter to shut Zhou Shiyue up, but before he could finish his words, Zhou Shiyue had already widened his beautiful eyes in disbelief.

"Brother Emperor!"

His exclamation startled the emperor.

"Are you encouraging me to eat the princess's free rice? Don't you care about my dignity?"

What a joke!

He had told Lu Xiaoer quite seriously before that he was not as poor as Lin Rong.

Lin Rongzong spent Mrs. Lin Wu's dowry. How could he be that kind of person!

Now if he really used Lu Xiaoer's 100,000 taels, then what would be the difference between him and Lin Rong?

He held his heart again. The King of Jin held his heart again.

Eunuch Qin took a secret glance.

Seeing the Prince of Jin looking like this, the Emperor would probably feel embarrassed to let Miss Lu pay again.

really.

The emperor coughed and said, "No, I didn't say that. I sent you to the southwest, so I won't let you go just like that. When you get to the southwest, you have to appease the soldiers for me. I will allocate 10,000 taels. When we win the battle, you will be responsible for treating the soldiers with good wine and meat."

"My brother is indeed wise. Does this ten thousand taels cover our expenses along the way? Then I have to calculate it carefully..."

"Ahem, of course not. When you are halfway there, go to the official post station to change horses. I will send someone to go there with fast horses to prepare. As for the things along the way..."

"Royal brother, although we have traveled thousands of miles, the expenses should not be much more than that for comforting the soldiers. Six thousand taels will be enough." Zhou Shiyue said.

emperor:"......"

"Brother Royal?"

"Then six thousand taels."

The emperor felt powerless.

"People who have a royal brother are different." Zhou Shiyue suddenly felt warm.

He said with great concern, "Brother, please take care of yourself. Don't work so late. Go to bed early. You can't finish reading all the memorials."

The emperor's heart moved.

"Ayue."

"Ok?"

"You are going to the southwest, how about going north to see what the climate and customs are like there?"

The emperor glanced at the memorials on the table and felt a little worried.

"Isn't Lu Zhaoling the descendant of the First Xuan Sect? Can she also tell the good and bad fortune of a place and the safety of the people?"

Zhou Shiyue hesitated for a moment.

"I don't know if she is that capable."

"Let her go and have a look. Although we don't have female officials in the Great Zhou, I can allow her a position as an official in the Imperial Observatory, which is specially set up for her. In the future, she can also go in and out of the Imperial Observatory. Although she has no official position, she is equivalent to the sixth rank. What do you think?"

Zhou Shiyue frowned.

"A princess of Jin is serving as a sixth-rank official?"

The emperor paused.

It won't work if it's any higher, because they don't have a precedent right now! This can only be his verbal will.

“At least in the future, she will not only be the Princess of Jin in front of other people in the capital. She will also have an identity before you get married.” The more the emperor saw that he was unhappy, the more he wanted to coax him to accept it.

Zhou Shiyue still looked very embarrassed, and finally said reluctantly, "I'll ask her tomorrow. If she doesn't want it, then forget it."

Emperor: I have never seen anyone who does not want more honor.

"Give me a salary," he said.
