Chapter 19 Prince Consort: Give My Money to the Princess

Concubine Luo was sleepy, unable to cheer up.

She was sitting under the pagoda tree with a long skirt on, smelling the fragrance of plants and trees, constantly turning the beads on her right wrist with her left hand, with a calm expression, Shouyang and Huaixu accompanied her.

Huai Xu has been taking care of Concubine Luo's dowry recently, and the Anfo Courtyard is almost repaired, except for the door that is not open, everything else has taken shape, and the things used in the courtyard are all taken from Concubine Luo's dowry.

Therefore, Huai Xu had no choice but to calculate the accounts clearly, "Princess, there is a monthly allowance in the back house. According to the rules, the princess enjoys the regulation of Princess Rong, so there are many monthly allowances. My son thinks that this month's princess should not be in vain."

"En." Concubine Luo replied lightly, Qin Shou didn't care about these trivial matters.

After reporting to the princess, Huai Xu wrote it down in the ledger, and then said, "The princess has a total of eighteen dowry villages in Rongzhou, not counting the land property, but Rongzhou has never been stable, and there are only two or three of the eighteen Zhuangzi. There is a surplus every year, and the nearby places are often harassed by Turks, so the maid thought that the princess could exchange the little-useful Zhuangzi for cash and use it as a nearby shop."

If it was in the past, she must not have paid much attention to her own dowry. Firstly, she trusted Huai Xu very much, and secondly, besides the dowry, she also had the land of the princess, and the annual tribute money was simply too much to spend.

But Concubine Luo now knows that she is not short of money, but Qin Shou is still very short of money. In her last life, she had a dowry until her death, which is exactly the same as in this life. The rich dowry was emptied by the empress mother and the emperor's brother Added from private library.

If Qin Shou moved to recruit soldiers after her death, it would be enough to support a good army.

She turned around in her mind, now that she was under Qin Shou's nose, she didn't have much time to move, so she said, "Rongzhou's dowry is all exchanged for cash, and the silver is kept first, so I will use it in the future."

Huai Xu made another note.

Concubine Luo paused, she stared at the beads on her wrist for a while, and said quickly, "If I take over the red makeup building of the son-in-law, Huai Xu, you may find out who is the master?"

Huai Xu had seen Hongzhuanglou last time, and because of her keen intuition of dealing with accounts all the year round, she was the first among the Six Palaces to suspect that the son-in-law had contacts with foreign barbarians, so she knew exactly what the princess was asking.

She frowned and thought for a moment, her usually expressionless face became solemn, "I can!"

Not only can she, but she can definitely cut off the son-in-law's fortune!

Concubine Luo finally had a smile on her face, she leaned over and patted Huai Xu's arm, "Then just wait and see how this palace can steal."

She understood clearly that Qin Shou needs money to support the Qin family army now, and will need money even more in the future wars, so she will first take action to destroy his way of making money.

And Qin Shou recruited troops with money, so naturally she could do the same.

Of course, it would be even better if news came back from the capital.

Concubine Luo counted the days, only a few days had passed, Prince Gong and his party were still halfway, she was a little anxious, and even remembered that there was a servant in the courtyard, so she asked Shouyang, "That servant Can you still be safe?"

Shouyang added a cup of warm tea for the princess, "I can't sit still these days, and I'm asking the princess when to summon him."

Seeing Concubine Luo taking a sip of tea, Shouyang pushed a plate of crispy yellow dim sum on the case table over and said, "He told the maidservant that if he wanted to take refuge in the princess, he could be a cow or a horse for the princess, but I begged the princess to give me some help." a way out."

Concubine Luo sneered, "It's a person who can see things clearly."

What she did did not hide Yuehua's back, so he also knew that he was in a difficult situation at this time, and he might be a death sentence if he showed it to others.

Shouyang nodded, "No matter what, we can't let him out at this time."

Concubine Luo agreed, and took a sip of the snack, "Let's keep it cold for now, and we'll talk about it when someone from the capital comes over."

"Yes." Shouyang wrote it down, but he was a little surprised that the princess asked for someone from the capital, and he secretly speculated that he didn't know who was so impatient that the princess liked it so much.

Concubine Luo had a panoramic view of Shouyang's expression, she didn't explain, and after finishing the snacks, she clapped her hands and smiled, "I'm new to Rongzhou, so I should walk around with the female family members of Rongzhou's high family. Three days later, a peony banquet will be held at the palace."

Hearing this, Shouyang and Huai Xu laughed at the same time. In the capital, when the Tian family or noble ladies held flower banquets or poetry banquets, no one came here purely for the banquet.
