Chapter 65: The Ungrateful People I Raised in Those Years (12) (Additional Chapter for the Reward to the Farmer Who Doesn’t Know the Difference Between the Five Grains)
The nanny beside the queen seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes changed slightly and then quickly returned to normal. She only looked at Yu Guang with burning eyes.
Yu Guang seemed not to see the other person's eyes, and continued to talk to herself: "I only heard that this man came from a place called Tanzhou. It is said that someone saw him at Xiangguo Temple. Oh, such a madman, it's just right to become a monk. Anyway, he talks nonsense."
Hearing the name of Xiangguo Temple, the queen's face changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal: "It snowed heavily in the north, but everything jumped out, which made people very annoyed."
Yu Guang seemed to coax the queen to continue talking unintentionally: "I heard that the heavy snow in the north needs a lot of money for disaster relief, and it is said that the court will send people to appease the people in the next two days!"
I like to talk to smart people, and those who understand will understand.
The nanny's face became more gloomy: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Madam Dingyuan, please be careful with your words."
Seeing Yu Guang shrinking his neck and preparing to keep silent, the Queen interrupted the nanny with a smile: "Today, Madam Dingyuan was summoned here to talk to me. There is no such thing as not interfering in politics."
Then, the Queen sighed softly: "Everyone thinks that life in the palace is easy, but in fact, you have to calculate the expenses. Now everything needs money. His Majesty has asked me to lead the whole palace to save expenses, but it is still not enough. The silver money for disaster relief alone is at least two million taels of silver."
Speaking of this, the Queen frowned slightly and sighed. '
The nanny hurriedly comforted the Queen: "Madam, don't worry, His Majesty is wise and will definitely find a way."
Just as the nanny was comforting the Queen, Yu Guang's doubtful voice came: "Two million taels of silver, this is not much!"
Hearing that it was not much, the corners of the nanny's mouth twitched. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the voice of paying respects to the emperor outside.
The Empress stopped talking immediately, smiled and stood up to greet the current emperor.
The Emperor and the Empress were young couples, and their temples were already gray, perhaps because of years of overthinking.
Knowing that the Emperor had something to talk to Yu Guang, the Empress excused herself to leave after paying her respects to the Emperor.
After leaving the reception room, the Empress stood under the pomegranate tree and said, "Tell my father and brother that the man is in Xiangguo Temple, and ask them to deal with him as soon as possible."
Although she and His Majesty had a deep relationship, no one knew that her status as the Empress was almost lost that year.
At that time, His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and she was His Majesty's Crown Princess. His Majesty fell in love with a civilian woman, and like a demon, he not only wanted to bring her back, but also planned to give her the status of the Queen.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager knew that the woman was a disaster, and helped her deal with her, but when she died, she was completely in His Majesty's heart.
Later, she heard that the woman gave birth to a child for His Majesty before she died.
When she was young, she was saddened by the flaws in his majesty's feelings for her, but as she got older, she attached more importance to her son's position as the crown prince.
His majesty still hasn't forgotten that woman all these years. Given how much he values women, if that woman's child appears, her son's position will definitely not be preserved.
The crown prince position can be abandoned, but the fate of the deposed crown prince can be known by flipping through history books, so she has been tracking down the whereabouts of that evil creature all these years.
There was news before that the evil creature had come to the capital, and now she has obtained the other party's exact location. Now she just hopes that her father and brother can do it more efficiently.
After receiving the instructions from the Queen, the nanny could not help but remind: "Your Majesty, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan seems to know something. Should we deal with her together?"
The Queen shook her head gently: "She has already surrendered, why should I touch her?"
Seeing the nanny's puzzled eyes, the Queen's eyebrows relaxed a little: "Go tell the prince that he can take the initiative to volunteer for disaster relief this time. The wife of Marquis Dingyuan has promised to pay the bulk of the money."
Why didn't I realize before that this lady is also a wonderful person.
The most important thing for disaster relief is money and food.
If there is not enough food, money can also be used to buy food.
Now with the money of the wife of Marquis Dingyuan as a foundation, there is no need to worry about other people not paying. In this way, disaster relief has changed from a hard job to a good job that can earn fame.
Although the nanny didn't quite understand the Queen's meaning, she still obeyed and did it.
The queen was left alone facing the pomegranate tree in the garden. If she guessed correctly, those rumors about Wei Yu were spread by Wei Yu herself, just for this time to enter the palace.
Otherwise, with the identity of Dingyuan Marquis's wife, she would never be able to enter the first wall of the imperial city in this life, let alone meet His Majesty.
Thinking of His Majesty, the queen's brows were faintly sad again.
Now His Majesty is in his prime, but the prince has grown up to an age that is enough to threaten His Majesty.
If there is an extra layer of protection, it may not be a bad thing.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Yu Guang, who was lowering his eyebrows and looking good in front of him, with a deep expression, and his eyes finally stopped on Yu Guang's glasses. After a long time, he spoke faintly: "What is the underworld like?"
Yu Guang had a gentle smile on his face: "It is majestic and can transform into a person's most desired appearance or the most feared appearance according to the good and evil of his actions."
Anyway, Emperor Qingyuan had never been to the underworld, so she could say whatever she wanted.
Emperor Qingyuan stared into Yu Guang's eyes and said, "Did you have any adventures in the underworld?"
Yu Guang smiled and nodded, "Of course I did."
Then, under the fearful eyes of the chief eunuch, Yu Guang stretched out her hand to her sleeves and said, "I accidentally got a superpower in the underworld. I am willing to present it to Your Majesty and contribute to the prosperity of our country."
After he finished speaking, Yu Guang pulled out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and held them above his head: "Please verify, Your Majesty."
At a glance, he knew that the banknotes were worth no less than one million. The chief eunuch was amazed. He had only heard of bribing ministers, but not bribing officials. The wife of Marquis Dingyuan was indeed a person who had been through the underworld. She dared to do anything!
The chief eunuch took the banknotes and presented them to Emperor Qingyuan. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes, Emperor Qingyuan's face changed again and again, and finally turned into a scolding: "Nonsense!"
The chief eunuch was slightly stunned. Just as he was thinking about what His Majesty meant, he heard Emperor Qingyuan scold again: "Don't you give Marquis Dingyuan a seat."
Marquis Dingyuan is as brave as a man. There are such vicious rumors in the market. It's simply nonsense.
Since Yu Guang entered the palace, the old lady and Wei Ningyi have been waiting for good news from the palace.
After eating the snacks brought by Wei Ningyi, the old lady also had strength.
They thought that Yu Guang would either be sent back with a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisoned wine, and that what he would send back would only be a corpse.
At that time, they could bury him without any burden.
After recovering some strength, the old lady began to feel sorry for Wei Ningyi's hand again, crying and wishing Yu Guang a good death. (End of this chapter)
