When the fourth prince lowered his head, a glimmer of success flashed in his eyes.

Not long after, the two of them rolled onto the bed, and it was a rainy night...

After the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, Bai Lingge leaned on the fourth prince's chest, with sad eyes, "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to commit myself to you tonight. The medicine on your body has been cured. After a while, you left quietly and forgot about tonight." Treat it as if it never happened."

When the fourth prince heard what Bai Lingge said, he held Bai Lingge in his arms and shook his head, "Lingge, how could I be such an ungrateful person? You ruined your reputation just to save me. The king will be responsible to the end."

Hearing what the fourth prince said, Bai Lingge was pleasantly surprised. She frowned and said regretfully: "But... I am already a married woman..."

The fourth prince looked at her affectionately, as if he didn't care at all about her status as a married woman.

"Lingge, it's not your fault. It's just that we met a little late. But don't be afraid. Since I want you, I will help you arrange everything. You don't have to worry about anything. Where is Gu Hongchao? I’ll make it up to him.”

Bai Lingge was extremely moved by the fourth prince's words, but she still said uneasily: "But I...I..."

She couldn't get the words out that she couldn't have children...

But before she could say anything, the fourth prince interrupted her, "Lingge, I am with you because I like you. It has nothing to do with anything else. Even if there are only two of us in the future, I will stay with you for the rest of my life." good for you!"

The fourth prince seemed to know what she was going to say. Before she could say anything, he had already solved all Bai Lingge's worries.

Although Gu Hongchao didn't reach this point back then, he still liked her and still married Qin Shuhuang.

Bai Lingge felt extremely regretful, regretting why the person she met first was not the fourth prince, but Gu Hongchao.

Bai Lingge leaned on Gu Hongchao's shoulder. At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with the fourth prince.

"My lord, you are so kind to me."

The fourth prince laughed and patted Bai Lingge's fair shoulder, "You are the woman who just saved my life. You have saved my life. If I am not good to you, who else can you be good to?"

After a while, there was another wave of being rolled over...

Guo'er had been guarding the door of the dormitory personally, and no matter who came, she would chase him away.

It was not until dawn that the fourth prince climbed over the wall and left the Gu Mansion.

After this time, Bai Lingge interacted with the fourth prince more and more frequently, and the two often hung out outside the Gu Mansion.

Soon Bai Lingge left Gu Mansion for longer than Gu Long.

Mrs. Gu was a little dissatisfied, but now Bai Lingge was paying for all the expenses of the Gu residence, and Gu Hongchao was not in the residence, so she could only endure some words for now.

At this moment, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt regretful. If she had pressured Gu Hongchao to be nicer to Qin Shuhuang when Qin Shuhuang was in the Gu Mansion, and she would have been more sincere, perhaps the Gu family would not have to rely on Bai Lingge now. the point.

It's just that it has become like this now, and she can't go back no matter how much she regrets.

After Qin Shuhuang left, everything in the capital seemed calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging inside.

Because of the previous incident of destroying a dam and bursting an embankment, the Minister of Household Affairs was executed, and the regent's reputation was damaged, which greatly affected the regent's influence in the court.

Prince Ping was already operating secretly. Taking this opportunity, Prince Ping subdued some of the regent's forces.

What the regent and Prince Heping didn't know was that Qin Shumin was also quietly gathering his subordinates, centered on the Du family, the Xue family, the Xu family and the veterans left by the late emperor, with the assistance of Qin Shuhuang.

If Dawu's court now has ten points, then the regent accounts for four points, Prince Ping accounts for three points, and Qin Shumin accounts for three points.

The Chinese New Year is almost half a month away.In the capital, you can faintly feel that there are three forces secretly competing for each other.

Not only did the money from the Liu family not come to Beijing years ago, but it also brought bad news to Beijing.

Mrs. Yu's secret letter to Concubine Liu Gui said that the silver mine was discovered by people from the Duhufu. Now the Duhufu is targeting the Liu family everywhere in Guangnan, fearing that it will affect the mining of silver mines.

The silver that used to be shipped quarterly in the past cannot be transported to the capital as promised, and the amount will be reduced by at least half...

When Concubine Liu Gui learned the news, she was so angry that she tore the secret letter into pieces immediately.

The money has not arrived. It’s the end of the year and everything needs money. What should I do?
The regent went too far, she and the regent were never finished!
The confidant of Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly entered the palace. After bowing, she said: "Concubine, the New Year's Day is not far away. New Year's gifts and various things have to be prepared. The fifth princess and the prince are all in charge." Are you ready for previous years’ examples?”

When Concubine Liu Gui heard this, she hurriedly stopped her close confidant, Mammy. This year, the Liu family didn't send any money. How could they follow the rules of previous years?
"Prepare everything that needs to be prepared, and use the money saved by the Ai family over the years to buy it. The prince's side will be as per the previous years, and the fifth princess's side will not need to worry about it."

Hearing Concubine Liu Gui's instructions, the confidant Mammy was a little surprised and asked one more question, "Concubine, don't you want to make the winter clothes for the fifth princess as well? What if the prince finds out and blames you..."

Although everyone below knows that the concubine is not very interested in the fifth princess, Concubine Liu Gui is the nominal mother-in-law of the fifth princess. Prince Ping still cares about the fifth princess. If they, the servants, treat the fifth princess too harshly, the concubine will If you don't tell them, the prince will punish them.

"Just do it as you are told! The fifth princess is the princess of Dawu, and she has royal status! You don't need to worry about it. If the prince blames you, the Ai family will bear it!"

When Concubine Liu Gui said this, her confidant Mammy did not dare to say anything more, "Yes, Concubine, I will make arrangements right now."

Concubine Liu Gui and her confidant Mammy had long forgotten that the expenses of the harem of the princess in the palace had long been usurped and deprived of by the Princess Regent and Concubine Liu Gui for various reasons.

The late emperor left behind very few concubines. Except for Concubine Liu Gui, those who now live in poverty are worse than ordinary people.

The life of the palace people was also difficult. Many palace people had not been issued new clothes for four or five years...

As the New Year approaches, the entire capital becomes busy.

Every household is preparing what they need for the New Year.

The same applies even to the Princess's Mansion and the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion, where the owner is absent.

Shiyu was instructing the embroidery room in the eldest princess's mansion to rush to make new clothes. There were a lot of clothes and various embroidery items to be made this year. It was about to be the time to give gifts. The embroidery room had been working overtime in the past few days.

Ruimiao took the steward to personally inspect Zhuangzi, a store owned by Qin Shuhuang. At the end of the year, he was so busy closing accounts and distributing rewards that he didn't have any time to rest.

The old housekeeper Lu Zhou took Qin Shuhuang's place and visited the Rongguo Palace, the Xu family, the Xue family, the Liu family, etc.

In the past two days, the Princess's Mansion received a batch of wool products from Mrs. Liu.

The nun next to Mrs. Liu also said that after the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Liu would open a wool products shop in the capital.

There will be more wool products for sale in the shop by then. If Ruimiao Shilan likes to go shopping then.

The woolen products Mrs. Liu had sent this time were all warm sleeves.

At present, although the workmanship is average, it is very warm to use.

Shilan gave these sleeves given by Mrs. Liu to each of the girls at home.

Even Gu Yuling in the palace was not left behind. (End of chapter)
