spend time

Zheng Chen's brows moved and his expression was slightly condensed.

This golden Buddha should have been prepared in advance and was definitely not done hastily. In other words, Nanyang County's financial resources can afford it.

If it were the Zheng family, they wouldn't be able to get so much gold. However, he is young now and is not the head of the family. Even if my father agreed, the use of so much gold would have to be approved by the clan members.

As the Queen Mother, every move she made in the palace attracted attention, and she was quite ambitious and well-known. It is not convenient for me to spend thousands of taels of gold to make a golden Buddha.

Jiang Shaohua is different. As the princess of Nanyang, she owns the Nanyang Prince's family fortune and decades of savings. There are mines and horse farms in the attached counties of Nanyang County, all of which are Jiang Shaohua's industries.

She made a golden Buddha to please Empress Dowager Zheng. When word spread, everyone would praise the princess for being filial to her elders.

Don't treat each other with admiration for three days.

Jiang Shaohua's move was fast and accurate!
When Eunuch Lan saw that Zheng Chen was silent, he whispered again: "Princess Nanyang also gave an ancient book to the arty Eunuch Zhao. After Eunuch Zhao received the ancient book, he always spoke for the princess."

Zheng Chen came back to his senses and said calmly: "There must be a banknote in the ancient book. Otherwise, how could Zhao Chunming be so helpful to her."

Eunuch Lan was a little anxious: "What should we do? This Zhao Chunming is always trying to please the Queen Mother, and has squeezed the slaves so much that they almost have no place to stay."

Zheng Chen frowned briefly and glanced at Eunuch Lan: "Don't be impatient. I know this matter well."

Eunuch Lan had no choice but to shut up.

Before Zheng Chen left, he left a message: "Don't be impatient. There are some things that you have to figure out slowly."

Eunuch Lan secretly cursed in his heart.

Of course the young man is not in a hurry. Empress Dowager Zheng loved her young master no less than the prince. How could he, a eunuch who had no descendants, be as lucky as the young father-in-law. As soon as Eunuch Zhao gained power, he suppressed him everywhere. His life in Jingyang Palace is really difficult now.

After Zheng Chen left, Eunuch Zhao diligently waited on Empress Dowager Zheng to worship the Buddha.

The royal family of Daliang has always believed in Buddhism, but when it came to Empress Dowager Zheng and Emperor Taikang's mother and son, they had to add the word "change". Especially Empress Dowager Zheng, who probably did a lot of wrong things when she was young. She always thought that the Buddha would forgive her in heaven, so she burned incense and chanted Buddha's name for an hour every day.

A small Buddhist hall was set up in Jingyang Palace. Originally there was a six-foot-tall gilded Buddha statue. Since yesterday, it has been replaced by a three-foot-tall red gold Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue has been reduced in size by half, but the gold is all real, so as to reflect the Queen Mother's devotion to Buddhism.

This Buddha statue was carefully crafted by more than a dozen skilled craftsmen from Nanyang County for half a year. The face is peaceful and lifelike. Upon closer inspection, her soft brows and eyes actually somewhat resembled Empress Dowager Zheng's.

This is the fundamental reason why Empress Dowager Zheng is in a happy mood.

"This girl Shaohua is really thoughtful." After burning a stick of incense, Empress Dowager Zheng was in a happy mood and casually smiled at Eunuch Zhao: "I also copied a box of scriptures and sent them here."

It doesn't matter whether this scripture was written by the princess. The princess said yes, so it must be.

Eunuch Zhao thought about the thick banknotes in the ancient books, and his heart felt like hot coals. He smiled and agreed: "The princess is very filial to the Queen Mother. From now on, the Queen Mother will just take care of her a little bit."

After a pause, he sighed with regret: "That new type of shaft plow is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The princess specially dedicated it to the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Wang got in the way, and the Ministry of Works is still pushing back. No, Willing to promote it.”

When she mentioned this matter, Empress Dowager Zheng's face turned cold and she snorted: "Wang Rong suffered a heavy loss due to Zuo Zhen's matter. Wang Rong is trying to win back a victory through this matter."

"For the sake of a different sign, you regard farming tools as nothing. Such a mind is not worthy of being a prime minister."

Eunuch Zhao looked like a villain: "When the Emperor comes to Jingyang Palace, the Queen Mother must speak to the Emperor properly. Prime Minister Wang cannot be spared easily." Queen Mother Zheng snorted again.

……

Daliang was based on filial piety, and Emperor Taikang was also truly filial to his own mother, Empress Dowager Zheng, and came to Jingyang Palace almost every day to pay her respects.

In the evening, after finishing his official duties, Emperor Taikang came to Jingyang Palace.

Empress Dowager Zheng welcomed Emperor Taikang into the palace with a pleasant look, and asked the prince and Princess Baohua to be invited. Even though the second prince was only two years old, he was still a baby who couldn't live without his wet nurse.

As soon as the prince arrived, the four accompanying readers also came with him. Besides Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Guanhua, there is also a fresh face beside Princess Baohua.

A slim thirteen-year-old girl, wearing a pink dress, with fair skin, sweet and cute, there are two small smile dimples on her cheeks when she smiles.

This girl's surname is Fan and her maiden name is Jianing. She is the granddaughter of General Fan, niece of Fan Guiren, and cousin of the second prince Jiang Hao.

In the previous life, Emperor Taikang and the prince passed away one after another, and the young second prince was helped to the dragon throne. Empress Dowager Zheng tried her best to promote the marriage between the Zheng family and the Fan family.

At that time, he was unable to resist and married Fan Jianing. A few years after Fan Jianing married into the Zheng family, she died due to dystocia, leaving one dead and two dead, and the beauty's life was short.

In his life, it was like a meteor passing by in a hurry without leaving any deep mark.

Originally, there should be another Nanyang Princess Jiang Shaohua here!

Zheng Chen glanced lightly and quickly looked away.

Empress Dowager Zheng said with a smile: "Zixian, you went to Nanyang County, and there was another princess accompanying you in the palace. This is your first time seeing her! This is General Fan's granddaughter, and also Fan Guiren's. niece."

Zheng Chen raised his hands and saluted: "Miss Fan."

Fan Jianing blushed slightly and bowed to the handsome and handsome Young Master Zheng: "I have met the Young Master Zheng."

This is considered a formal greeting.

A group of boys and girls were in front of her. Empress Dowager Zheng liked the excitement, so she arranged three tables. The young men sat at one table, the girls at another table, and the prince and princess sat together with Empress Dowager Zheng and Emperor Taikang.

After dinner, Empress Dowager Zheng spoke to Emperor Taikang's mother and son, while the young men took their leave.

Fan Jianing has only been in the palace for half a month, and he lives in the princess's palace on weekdays. At this time, he quietly walked beside the princess and whispered: "Princess, is Mr. Zheng always so arrogant and indifferent?"

Jiang Baohua laughed: "That's not true. He is usually very funny and easy-going. This is probably the first time I've seen you tonight, so I'm sorry to say too much."

"It could also be that he made a trip to Nanyang County and returned without success, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while." Jiang Yuehua came over with a smile.

Jiang Guanhua covered his mouth and laughed: "At the beginning, everyone advised him not to go. He insisted on touching this hard nail. Who can blame him."

Fan Jianing also knew this story, pursed his lips and chuckled: "This Nanyang Princess is also stubborn. The Queen Mother is kind and wants to take her into the palace. There is a princess in the palace, and there are two county princesses accompanying her, and there are many people It’s lively. Why doesn’t she want to come?”

Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Guanhua looked at each other quietly. (End of chapter)
