Reborn Queen

Chapter 49 Crying Poor

"His Royal Highness..." When Eunuch Jiang handed the things to An Yue, the expression on his face was still a bit distorted. Lu Yanqi got involved in it two days ago, but he didn't think that he had prepared the things according to the gift list this morning. , only to find that there is something missing, it is really cold!When did the Prince's Mansion send such a cold congratulatory gift?

"Huh?" Lu Yanqi looked back at Eunuch Jiang, with a nonchalant expression on his face, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with the gift list he had drawn up. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the carriage behind him, "Those few Girl, are you all here?"

Seeing that Lu Yanqi was determined to bring these congratulatory gifts, Eunuch Jiang couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to bow down in the end: "Everyone is here except Qiu Xin."

"Tsk, it's a pity." In Lu Yanqi's eyes, Qiu Xin is the most courageous among this group of girls.That's right, when you first arrived at the Prince's Mansion and didn't know what form to take, you dared to stand out rashly, so what if it wasn't courageous?

Stupid is stupid, but this kind of self-righteous woman is the most harmful to the family. Unfortunately, at the beginning, it was necessary to kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, and Qiu Xin wanted to stand upright to be the chicken. Apart from being disrespectful, what else can Lu Yanqi do?

Eunuch Jiang listened to Lu Yanqi's ambiguous "it's a pity" and didn't say anything. That Qiu Xin didn't seem to live long.Where can the women who are transferred and taught in the palace to be used in the backyard be able to do heavy work?Besides, after knowing that Qiu Xin was thrown by the princess, the servants at the stable also looked at the dishes. Qiu Xin has been a bit tired these days!

"It's almost time, An Yue, let's go!" Lu Yanqi said, jumping into the carriage first, asking him to say, just let someone deliver the congratulatory gift, and going to Xiaoyao Wang's mansion, it's just unnecessary!

"Are those congratulatory gifts suitable?" Eunuch Jiang was not easy to ask, but An Jingxing was able to ask directly. The congratulatory gifts seemed to be in the wrong amount, and in the eyes of caring people, he had no room for others.

"What's the problem? I'm afraid they won't say anything..." Lu Yanqi said with a cold snort, it's best not to say anything about the gift he prepared, if anyone dares to say anything, he Lu Yanqi Just let that person walk around without eating!

After this period of time, An Jingxing has gotten to know his own concubine. Seeing what Lu Yanqi said, he knew that his heart was in trouble, so he silently shut up, changed another topic, and talked with Lu Yanqi talking:

"The money has been allocated to Yingying. What Yingying means is that if the money is enough, then expand outward." It is estimated that Yingying also guessed the source of the money, and whispered to An Yue, knowing that Lu Yanqi is not short of money. , So I started to "make progress" and wanted to increase the number of staff.

"Then add, I remember that according to the ancestral system, the prince's guards can have 8000 people, let the shadows fill up the people, and the well-trained people will be removed directly, and new people will be recruited!" Lu Yanqi said, the master is not short of money, yes !

When An Jingxing heard Lu Yanqi's words, his heart moved: "What do you mean?"

The well-trained people are removed. What Yan Qi means is to replace each batch with new ones?Isn't this superfluous?An Jingxing's intuition should not be as simple as it appears on the surface, and sure enough:

"I have two Zhuangzi outside the capital, and I have trained them to be nurses. When they are needed in the future, let them come back." Lu Yanqi's idea is very simple. There are not so many countries in modern times. Served in the military?It seems that there are not many soldiers in the country, but when it is time to use them, everyone can carry a gun. Since the prince's guards can only have [-], and there are not many, they can only find a way to "increase the number of soldiers" .

And Lu Yanqi's words confirmed what An Jingxing thought in his heart, he looked at Lu Yanqi with some surprise, he never knew he could do this: "You really..."

Before An Jingxing could figure out how to describe Lu Yanqi's thoughts, he saw that Lu Yanqi's tail was already raised to the sky, and his whole body exuded the aura of "Praise me, praise me, praise me soon".

Dumbfounded, he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yanqi in his arms, bowed his head: "My princess, how can you be so smart?"

The person who was still cocking his tail just now, his tail stopped in an instant, his ears drooped, and the roots of his ears turned red, showing a sense of embarrassment.

This is also something that An Jingxing has only recently discovered. It is obvious that Lu Yanqi usually speaks very unforgivingly, and acts quite boldly. Yan Qi would definitely become shy easily, isn't that the case now?

Lu Yanqi nestled in An Jingxing's arms, turned his eyes, and he also realized that recently he has been eaten to death by An Jingxing, so he was about to suppress the shame in his heart and "resist angrily" , Dark Moon’s voice came from outside the car:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess, here we are..."

Hearing this voice, Lu Yanqi got out of An Jingxing's embrace, and glared at him: Let you go this time!

Although this stare didn't have any momentum at all, it also made An Jingxing cooperate with the response of "Thank you for your mercy, Crown Princess".

After jumping out of the car, Lu Yanxi tidied up his clothes, and waited for An Jingxing and An Jingqing who was in the car behind to arrive before walking towards the gate of Xiaoyao Palace.

At this moment, one can see from the outside the mansion, the bustle of the mansion, the carriages in front of the gate one after another, and the servants inside the gate coming and going, looking very busy, Lu Yanqi nodded to An Yue , motioning him to hand in the gift slip.

"His Royal Highness is here——His Royal Highness is here——His Royal Highness——" After seeing the figures of An Jingxing and the other three, the attendants at the door hurriedly communicated inwardly, while a father-in-law on the other side passed the gift list from behind the scenes. After taking it in Yue's hand, she opened it and was about to sing, but unexpectedly, she froze after opening it.

This is too... cold, right?Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the size of this article is more than half that of other ministers. Don’t think that if the quantity is small, the quality can be improved. If you look carefully, the quality is also far worse than other adults.

For a while, the person holding the gift slip didn't know whether to sing it or not. If he sang it and the crown prince found out that he had taken the wrong gift slip, wouldn't it be a joke?Even if you got it right, this gift list...is not handy!

On the other side, the courtiers who were chatting in twos and threes in the courtyard couldn't help but look at the entrance when they heard that An Jingxing and Lu Yanqi had arrived. This was the first time Lu Yanqi appeared in front of everyone after marriage. before.

Lu Yanqi was still flamboyant and frivolous in a red dress, perhaps to match Lu Yanqi's red dress, An Jingxing wore a black suit which was rare, but he looked more stable than before, standing beside the flamboyant Lu Yanqi The temperament of the two blended together, and there was a weird harmony.

However, after seeing the expression on the eunuch's face, the Xiyuan officials were a little curious: Could it be that there is something wrong with this gift list?

"Just sing." After An Yue saw that the gift list was handed out, the eunuch didn't respond and frowned. Why does this servant of Xiaoyao Palace feel so bad?

The eunuch Xu felt An Yue's impatience, cleared his throat, and began to sing the content on the gift list: "A contemporary calligraphy and painting by Yun Jinyu, a great scholar..."

When the eunuch announced the first congratulatory gift, the expressions of the people in the courtyard became a little subtle. No one knew that old Mr. Yun Jinyu was the grandfather of His Highness the Crown Princess, and it was too careless to use this as a congratulatory gift. Bar?

Before the officials finished their slander, the eunuch over there reported King Jing's congratulatory gift.Because Xiaoyao Wang is the host this year, the general eunuchs sing the Xiaoyao Wang's gift list first.

Are they missing something?Did the eunuch say three things just now?Among them, landscape paintings are the most valuable, and the congratulatory gifts are gone?If this is the congratulatory gift prepared by the Prince's Mansion for King Xiaoyao, it would be too cold, right?Or is it that the prince is not good at tearing face off with King Jing, so he is going to take the knife against King Xiaoyao?

But after a while, these people realized that they were wrong. King Xiaoyao had three things, but His Royal Highness King Jing had two different things!An inkstone made in an unknown place, and another "gift" turned out to be a beauty?Giving someone away is no different than giving something. If there is something wrong with the person who sent it, there is a lot to say!

An Yue waited for the eunuch to finish singing, then released the congratulatory gift, and asked someone to bring Lu Yi and others up, nodded to the steward at the side, and returned to An Jingxing's side.

After seeing Lu Yi and the others, An Chengji's face, which was already a little ugly because of the prince's congratulatory gift, became even more ugly: Aren't these maids sent by the concubine to the prince's mansion?Why did you send it back again?

When the courtiers saw His Royal Highness Prince Jing's expression turned strange, they knew that these beauties probably had some secrets among them, so they exchanged glances with each other, and only they knew what they were thinking.

"I haven't had time to congratulate the third and fourth brothers on their birthday." An Jingxing still had that gentle smile on his face, as if he didn't feel ashamed at all about this gift, as if he had given some priceless treasure.

Seeing An Jingxing like this, An Chengji could only grit his teeth in secret, not to say that he would not hit the smiling face with his hand, but that it was too embarrassing to make a scene in person because of the congratulatory gift: "Brother Huang, you bother."

"It's okay, it's all prepared by your sister-in-law." An Jingxing waved his hand, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in An Chengji's words, and he didn't forget to pull Lu Yanqi out to ask for credit. Looking at An Chengji, he obviously wanted An Chengji to thank Lu Yanqi.

An Chengji was so angry with An Jingxing's helpless look that he almost vomited blood. Why didn't he realize that he was so shameless before?

An Chengji naturally wouldn't know that An Jingxing's appearance at this time was completely learned from Lu Yanqi, and now he could only grit his teeth and thank Lu Yanqi.

And An Jingrui seemed to be completely unaffected by An Chengji, instead he smiled heartily: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I have heard of Mr. Yun's name for a long time, but I have never been able to see his calligraphy. I didn't expect to be able to be honored by sister-in-law today."

"It's easy to say, easy to say~" Lu Yanqi nodded, as if he was very grateful for An Jingrui's thanks, and even waved his hand, as if he was very generous.The level of rascal made everyone present feel ashamed.

Lu Yanqi didn't have a deep impression of An Jingrui. In his previous life, he only knew that this Xiaoyao Wang liked to travel around. Lu Yanqi had never met An Jingrui a few times. Today, he took a serious look at An Jingrui, maybe because of his eyebrows. Compared with An Chengji, he was much more pleasing to the eye than his ambition to fight for power and his dislike for An Jingxing.

Since the parties didn't say anything about the congratulations, the other ministers couldn't say anything more, but there was a hint of inquisitiveness in their eyes, but on the surface, it was fun after all.

"The emperor is here—the imperial concubine is here—"

After a while, the eunuch's singing came from outside the door again. The two people who came this time had unusual identities.But no one in the courtyard was surprised, after all, today is the birthday of King Jing and King Xiaoyao, and the arrival of the emperor and the imperial concubine is nothing unusual.

"All lovers are free of courtesy." An Rui waved his hand, and asked the eunuch behind him to deliver the congratulatory gift, and then led Ji Youyi to the main seat and sat down.

This time, the eunuch who sang the list had something to do, and actually sang for a long time. After listening carefully, no matter what one was, it was a priceless treasure, and the congratulatory gifts of the third and fourth princes were similar, It seems that the emperor treats King Xiaoyao and King Jing equally, this is not a rumor!

Not long after Ji Youyi sat down, a maid came to Ji Youyi's ear and murmured something, Ji Youyi frowned, looked outside the courtyard, and saw Luyi and the others, looking up and talking to An Jingxing What about Lu Yanqi, Ji Youyi suppressed her displeasure, and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

And An Rui, who was talking to An Chengji and An Jingrui, also stopped when he heard Ji Youyi's voice, looking at the woman he loved deeply, not understanding what she wanted to do.

"The imperial concubine." Lu Yanqi nodded to the imperial concubine, but he didn't intend to stand up and salute.

You can't go wrong with this approach. The crown princess and the noble concubine are of the same rank. Usually, the crown princess salutes the noble concubine because the younger generation respects the elders, but Lu Yanqi said "how can a concubine be a concubine?" , is still preached by the students all over the world, so naturally they will not stand up and salute.

Ji Youyi didn't care about Lu Yanqi's attitude at this time, she was more concerned about another matter: "It's not just the maids that the palace gave to the princess, can the princess use it?"

"It's supposed to be useful." Who knew that Lu Yanqi had just waited for a long time for An Chengji to get angry about the gift, but An Chengji didn't respond at all. Now that Ji Youyi was going to hit the gunpoint, Lu Yanqi naturally I will not be polite.

"Ben?" Ji Youyi frowned, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with An Jingxing's words, "Those girls were trained and taught by Bengong himself, and they are able to be independent in all aspects."

Ji Youyi's words are tantamount to saying that Lu Yanqi is picky.Ji Youyi is in charge of the harem, and the people she educates are naturally the best. If such people are still unusable, then at a bigger scale, they will be arrogant.

"Indeed." Lu Yanqi nodded, and after taking a sip of tea, he changed the topic, "Those girls are good in every aspect, but they are not suitable for this age."

"They're all [-]-year-old girls, why isn't it appropriate?" Ji Youyi felt something was wrong just after she finished speaking.At this time, An Jingqing was living in the Prince's Mansion, which was known to everyone, but he sent a few [-]-year-old maids there, the deep meaning of this...

"That's right, they are both the best ages, so His Highness thinks that it is not good to be a servant girl for the princess if the flowering period is ruined." Lu Yanqi smiled calmly, and the meaning in the words actually wanted Let the prince take over those servant girls.

The ministers were a little confused by Lu Yanqi's words: No matter how you look at this Lu Yanqi, he is not such a generous person?

Sure enough, Lu Yanqi continued to speak after a while: "But His Royal Highness is so pure and filial. After hearing His Highness's proposal, he actually reprimanded His Highness, saying that the marriage was bestowed by the emperor. How can you be married again during the wedding?" Add new people."

As soon as Lu Yanqi said this, the ministers nodded one after another, for this reason.When Ji Youyi heard this, her intuition was not good, and she was about to stop her, but unexpectedly, Lu Yanqi refused to give him this opportunity at all:

"So my highness can only let it go. It coincides with the birthday of the third emperor, and my highness thought that the person who was trained by the imperial concubine herself should be able to please His highness King Jing, so I made up my mind and sent him With the third brother, this is the way to live up to the girl's flowering period." Lu Yanqi nodded as he said, and finally asked Ji Youyi, "Is this the truth, the imperial concubine thinks?"

It turns out that those beauties have such backgrounds!The ministers understood in their hearts, no wonder His Royal Highness King Jing's face was so ugly, the eyeliner sent out was sent back, and it was not known if there would be any problems when it was sent back, anyone would be afraid to change it!

When Ji Youyi heard this, she gritted her teeth secretly, but she couldn't refute it. It was all what she said just now, what can she say?No matter what you say, you are slapping your face, and you can only nod your head in the end: "It's the princess who is thoughtful, and it's the palace who wants to go wrong."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanqi didn't intend to give up at all. He nodded after hearing the words, and then said: "It's good that the imperial concubine understands. After all, after the wedding, the Prince's Mansion is... not the Prince and His Highness wanting... but the reality. It's... oh..."

It was said that Lu Yanqi lowered his head, as if there was something unspeakable, but he didn't know that such vague words made everyone guess.And An Rui, who had been watching from the sidelines, frowned after seeing the ministers' reactions, "If the princess has something to say, you might as well speak up!"

Hearing this, Lu Yanqi raised his head, seemed a little embarrassed, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "The minister just said it straight! Since the wedding, the Prince's Mansion has been unable to make ends meet. Even if you want to keep these few There is nothing the servant girl can do if she stays!"

As soon as Lu Yanqi said this, there was an uproar in the hall. Everyone in the capital knew how grand the wedding was, and even the dowry and betrothal gift made many people jealous. His reaction doesn't seem to be fake. Could it be that the Prince's Mansion has reached this point?Thinking of this, the eyes of the officials became subtle.

Hearing this, An Rui wanted to sew Lu Yanqi's mouth shut. The prince of a country is so short of money, no matter what, he will lose face as the emperor!

"The princess's words are serious!" Ji Youyi frowned. At the beginning, Lu Yanqi's red makeup was well known in the city, but now he can't make ends meet?

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanqi stood up from his seat, his face full of grief and indignation: "The imperial concubine's words mean that the crown prince's monthly salary of one hundred taels can support the wedding a month ago? The prince's wedding, all All things are ancestral! Back then, in order to make the wedding decent, I even pawned the dignity of many former empresses. If the imperial concubine did not believe it, my Highness will ask someone to fetch the pawn ticket for the imperial concubine to look at. "

As he said that, he gave Ru Yan instructions without hesitation. Seeing that Ru Yan walked out after receiving the order, it must be to get the pawn ticket.

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were even more arguing, the prince got married, and the emperor didn't even have any subsidies or rewards?A few days ago, King Xiaoyao accepted his concubine, and the rewards in the palace have never been cut off!How can such a huge prince's mansion survive only on the prince's salary?Has the emperor already reached this point?Thinking of this, the expressions of the officials became subtler.

Ji Youyi didn't expect Lu Yanqi to say that in public, lack of money, who is not short of money?But which big family is short of money, not because it is covered to death, even if the face is swollen, it must do enough superficial work!Who would be as careless as Lu Yanqi?

And An Rui's complexion also became a little ugly. Didn't Lu Yanqi's words clearly say that he was partial?Not only does the father not support his son's wedding, but he also asks his son to pawn the family property. All the literati in the world can spit him to death with just saliva!

An Jingxing was stunned at this moment, he never expected that Lu Yanqi could cry poorly in front of so many people, and still be a ticket?Where did I get the pawn ticket?Could it be that in the heart of my daughter-in-law, I have already reached this point of poverty?Thinking of this, An Jingxing fell into deep thought...

At this time, Ji Youyi had already forced a smile on her face. She never thought that she would be beaten up instead of being convicted, and now she can only defeat Ah and Xue Tun:

"Where is the princess, the prince's big wedding, I don't have a charter, so I let His Highness do it first, and allocate money from the palace after the wedding. Who knows that His Highness hasn't mentioned it after the marriage, and the Palace has been busy with drafts recently. I actually forgot about the matter, if the Crown Princess hadn’t mentioned it today, I wouldn’t know that the Prince’s Mansion is in such a difficult situation.”

"Really? Then I'll take the pawn ticket back later, and I don't want any more. It is the body left by the former empress. Yan Qi still hopes to redeem it for His Highness." Lu Yanqi's face was full of sadness, If someone doesn't know, this matter may be directly misled by Lu Yanqi.

At this moment, Ji Youyi almost broke her nails: "You are so righteous, why don't you show your dowry?"

Although she wished to eat Lu Yanqi alive in her heart, Ji Youyi still had a graceful expression on her face: "Naturally."

"Yan Qi thanked the father and the imperial concubine on behalf of His Highness!" Lu Yanqi looked at the pained expressions on An Rui and Ji Youyi's faces, and laughed in his heart: Do you want to lose everything?I don't even look at what my master does!

The author has something to say: Ji Youyi: You have to give money even if you get killed, so angry, and you have to keep smiling!

Anrui: Why did you ask me to pay in the end?

An Chengji: After accepting a few women who I don't want at all, I still send money out, why!

Lu Yanqi: Dare to hate me?Backhand is three kills!
