Chapter 501: Stingy

When Gu Jiu was out of the palace, he met Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang came out from the Queen Mother, with red eyes.
Is this a cry?
"What about Auntie?"
"My nephew, my wife is bitter!"
When the lord of Huyang saw Gu Jiu, he felt like a dead Lao Zi Niang, holding her hand and crying.
Gu Jiu's brows twitched, and more people were watching the show, so they had to take Princess Huyang into the carriage first.
The carriage started slowly, moving forward, going in circles in the capital.
Princess Huyang held the handkerchief, crying, really sad.
"Who annoys Auntie? Speak out and ask your Majesty to stand up for you."
"Huh! It's the emperor's brother that makes me unhappy." Princess Huyang looked upset, almost to death.
Before Gu Jiu asked her, she went on to say, "Emperor brother has been on the throne for three months, elder nephew and daughter-in-law, what title do you think this palace is now?"
Gu Jiu suddenly realized and understood.
The lord of Huyang is arguing about the title.
Princess Huyang is the sister of Emperor Wende's mother.
Emperor Wende ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, she has been hoping that Emperor Wende canonize her, and make her a princess, eldest princess, or even eldest princess.
Anyway, as long as the princess can be named, she doesn't dislike it.
However, Emperor Wende became the throne for a few months, and summer has come, and the lord of Huyang is still the lord.
It seemed that Emperor Wen De did not intend to make Huyang a princess at all.
Huyang felt the grievance in his heart. In the past three days, he ran to the palace to find the Queen Mother Xiao crying and pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic.
Empress Dowager Xiao really felt sorry for the Huyang princess, and planned for Huyang.
He also personally asked about the knighthood and talked to Emperor Wen De.
When facing his mother and sister, Emperor Wen De haha, blindly perfunctory.
One said that the treasury was empty, and another said that there was no mansion in the Shaofu that was worthy of the princess title.
After all, it's just one meaning, not canonization.
Emperor Wende was exactly the same as the first emperor, not only got into the eyes of the money, but at the same time he was very stingy with the royal family members.
In the eyes of Emperor Wen De, the granting of nobles meant burning money, a lot of money.
Apart from raising a group of non-productive dudes, there is no benefit at all.
Emperor Wende prefers to grant meritorious officials, but is not willing to grant royal kinship.
A meritorious minister, at any rate, can shine for the court.
The royal family members can't send out all but consume money and food.
Especially Huyang, if she regained her princess title, with her pomp, hehe, three hundred thousand taels a year would not be enough for her alone.
By then, nine out of ten Huyang will go to the palace to catch the autumn breeze.
Emperor Wen De thought to himself, Huyang went to the palace to play the autumn breeze, did he give it or not?
In any case, they are all sisters, so I have to give them a little bit.
At the thought of silver money flowing out like flowing water and still satisfying Huyang, Emperor Wen De was immediately unhappy.
Obviously, Emperor Wende, who was the emperor, was twice as stingy as when he was the prince, no, ten times as stingy.
Emperor Wende is the same as the first emperor, worthy of being a father and son. The emperor's thinking is the same, the same stingy, the only difference is that the means of action are different.
Princess Huyang whimpered and said while crying, finally clarifying the matter.
"This palace is his own sister. The other sisters are all princesses, but this palace is a princess. Does this palace have a face to speak of? This palace has no face to go out to see people. ..."
The owner of Huyang County complained and was so wronged
Gu Jiu was speechless.
She thought for a while, and said: "The princes, your Royal Highnesses, are still crowded in Prince Ning's Mansion, and they have not been knighted."
Compared with the single-family family of the Huyang princess, there is a princess mansion anyway, the situation of the princes, can't it be dead.
"How can it be the same? They are all princes, sooner or later it will be a matter of title. Oh, the emperor must be tired of this palace. After he became the emperor, he became a wolf-hearted dog."
"Auntie said carefully, and be careful that this word reaches your majesty."
"My palace is not afraid. I say the same in front of him. I am his own sister, and he didn't even canonize me as a princess. There is no sibling affection. The queen interceded for me, but he refused to let go, just Blindly perfunctory. Me, am I his favorite sister? My eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, my life is bitter!"
Princess Huyang lay in Gu Jiu's arms, crying loudly.
Gu Jiu was very worried.
It's really hot when crowded together on a hot day. She was sweating.
Princess Huyang didn't feel the heat, but felt wronged and sad.
"My palace is no longer alive, no longer alive."
Huyang's tone was full of complaints and depression.
Gu Jiu helped her up and said, "Your Majesty said the truth. The Treasury really has no money."
"If the national treasury has no money, is there no money in the Shaofu? The business of the Shaofu Bank is so good, how can there be no money. Just take it out and the Princess of the Palace will solve it."
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "Did the aunt talk to your majesty?"
Princess Huyang nodded, "Say it. He has no conscience. He also scolded me and told me not to call Shaofu. He also said that he would give Shaofu an order and not allow me to step into Shaofu. ."
Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
Emperor Wen De was clearly three hundred and sixty degrees to the Huyang County lord, and there was no blind spot for all-round defense.
It seems that Emperor Wende was frightened by Huyang County's chief Qiufeng in the past.
It's just that Emperor Wen De's stinginess was beyond Gu Jiu's expectations.
The wife is too stingy, the dignified emperor, is it really all right to get into the eyes of money?
Gu Jiu looked at the host of Huyang, and what happened to the host of Huyang now, is it self-inflicted?
Forget it, she still shouldn't expose the truth to avoid hitting Huyang.
"My aunt relaxes and waits for half a year. When the treasury has a surplus, you can ask your majesty again. At that time, your majesty may agree to grant you a princess and build a big princess mansion for you."
"Really? Brother Huang is really so generous?"
There were still tears hanging in the corner of Huyang County's eyes, and his eyes were shining, staring at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled, "Auntie must wait patiently and don't offend your majesty. Your majesty is your majesty, first your majesty, and then your aunt's emperor brother."
"Oh, my palace understands the truth. My palace is wronged."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't be wronged, aunt. I have a very profitable business here. I reserved a place for my aunt. Is my aunt interested?"
Princess Huyang's eyes were bright, and there was no grievance.
She hurriedly asked, "Sure enough to make money?"
"Naturally it makes money."
"Hahaha, my palace believes you. How much money needs to be invested, and my palace will send someone the money tomorrow."
Gu Jiu smiled, "This matter is not in a hurry, some preparatory work needs to be done in the early stage."
The construction of such a big road, and the establishment of toll stations, must be discussed in the court.
Only waiting for the order of the Department of Household Shangshu and the family of the Shaofu family to join the courtiers to build momentum for her, and passed.
Then she will take the opportunity to make a fuss and raise money for road construction.
The bits and pieces add up to a lot.
After finishing the preparatory work, let's talk about road construction.
He sent Huyang back to the princess palace, and then Gu Jiu returned to the palace.
On the surface, the palace is still the same palace in the past, but the inside is different.
In the past, Queen Pei and Emperor Wende lived in the palace.
Both inside and outside the palace are headed by them.
Now that the two of them are living in the palace, the palace is gradually showing signs of doing its own thing.
The people eagerly chose the camp.
He leans against the big room, she leans against the second room, the maid leans against the third room, and the little servant leans against the fourth room...
Even a small kitchen seems to have several factions.
It's messy!
However, has anyone ever thought of intervening to control others and change this situation?
Because the separation of the brothers is a matter of time.
Now it is only because the treasury is empty that the brothers have to continue to live under the same roof.
As the prince, everyone should plan as early as possible and seize the time to develop their own strength.
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage at the second gate, and asked the lady in the glottis room casually, "Is there anything in the house today?"
The concierge looked a little weird, and then smiled again, "The eldest lady is back. There is nothing wrong in the house today, everyone is quiet."
"Yes?"
Gu Jiu smiled clearly. Whose person is this concierge?
It seems to be a four-bedroom person.
Gu Jiu rushed to the housekeeper and said: "See the fourth lady, please bring me a sentence."
The concierge looked panicked, "The eldest lady said and laughed. Which kind of slave maidservant is not qualified to speak for the lady."
"It's okay." Gu Jiu took someone back to the Eastern Hospital.
As soon as he entered the eastern courtyard, Qingmei took the lead in nagging, "If this goes on, the palace must be in chaos. Look at those people, one by one, thinking about betraying their masters, and not putting his wife in his eyes."
Gu Jiu didn't care a little bit, "When the palace is in chaos, it will be chaotic. Don't worry about it so much, and you won't have your turn to worry about it. It might be a good thing that the palace is really going to get messed up."
At any rate, remind Emperor Wen De to separate his sons quickly.
The princes live together terribly!
If you want to die, you will live a few years short.
Anyone who knows knows that Emperor Wende asked the princes to live together to save money.
This is indeed saving money, but Emperor Wen De ignored the hearts of the people.
People are moved, living under one roof, fearing death.
Gu Jiu instructed to go down, "Order the concierge to take good care of the portal. When my Highness and I are away, no one is allowed to come in."
Mother Fang came to the small study room holding Yu'er brother.
Gu Jiu immediately opened his arms, and Yu Ge rushed towards Gu Jiu's arms.
"Mother, mother..." Brother Yu would call her mother, and the call was quite clear.
It is too much saliva, because of teething drooling every day. At the end of the day, I don't know how many saliva pockets to wet.
Gu Jiu took out the handkerchief, wiped the corners of Yu Ge'er's mouth, and sat at the desk holding him.
Brother Yu is now very fond of grabbing things, and grabbing everything he sees.
Qingmei quickly put away the books and pens on the desk. I took a few blank sheets of paper to Yu Ge'er to play with.
Madam Fang rubbed her arms and said, "Madam and Your Royal Highness, I have been away from time to time recently. It is time to strengthen the door. The servants beside me are not worried, they are afraid of hurting Brother Yu."
Gu Jiu said: "I will tell your Highness to ask him to arrange more people to be on duty in the Eastern Courtyard. Are you all right in the palace today?"
Mother Fang smiled and said, "The second and third rooms are all making trouble."
"What is it?" Gu Jiu was curious.
Madam Fang said: "The pregnant concubine in Erfang said that she was carrying a brother in her belly. It was inevitable that she was a little mad and disrespectful to the second wife.
The second wife lost her temper and wanted to punish the concubine. As a result, His Highness just hit him, and said a few words. The second lady was so angry that she fainted unexpectedly.
Asked the imperial physician to check, only to know that the second wife had been pregnant for a month. "
"Ah! I didn't expect the second sibling to be pregnant. This is a good thing. Qingmei, prepare a gift. My wife will visit the second sibling in a while."
Ome bowed her orders, took the key and opened the storeroom to prepare a gift.
Gu Jiu asked again: "Mother also mentioned Sanfang just now. What happened to Sanfang?"
Sister Fang said: "It's not a big deal, but the three of your Royal Highnesses smashed a set of white porcelain tea sets from the previous dynasty and fined two people, each hitting twenty boards, and almost killed them."
Gu Jiu frowned, she never liked physical punishment.
She asked casually, "Why did your Highness lose your temper because of what happened?"
"The slave servant listened to a few words in a pleasant way. It seems that it was because the third majesty asked for errands, but his majesty didn't agree and only told him to continue to take medicine to maintain his health."
Gu Jiu smiled swiftly, "His Three Highnesses were poisoned and delayed for a few years. Now seeing the brothers have their own strengths, he is anxious. Didn't the empress dowager want to protect him as a matchmaker? Why didn't he move?"
Madam Fang shook her head, "The slave and maid are not clear about this. Perhaps there is no suitable candidate."
Brother Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Jiu's hair.
Gu Jiu cried out in pain.
The maids were in a hurry, and finally coaxed Brother Yu to let go. As a result, the kid had no hair to scratch, so he started crying and making noise.
When he made a fuss, Gu Jiu felt that the little angel in his hand had become a little devil. The weight of ten jin, because of the noise, it seems that he is holding a big fat man of eighty or ninety jin.
Gu Jiu was so tired that he was sweating.
Mother Fang hurriedly took Yu Ge'er away.
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression, "The stinky boy knows to make trouble in front of me, why not go to your father to make trouble."
At a young age, Yu Ge'er also knew how to watch words and colors.
Presumably, he knew that his father Liu Zhao was not easy to provoke. Every time Liu Zhao held him, he was very behaving.
Once in Gu Jiu's arms, the stinky boy made a lot of trouble in the sky like the monkey grandson. Can toss people to no temper.
With tears still hanging from the corners of Yu's eyes, he looked at Gu Jiu pitifully.
Children’s eyes are pure and innocent.
Gu Jiu's heart melted when the child looked like that.
But hardened, "Don't want me to hold you, I have to rest for at least half an hour."
Brother Yu is about to cry.
Mother Fang felt distressed, "Brother doesn't cry, Mother takes you to play in the garden."
Going out to play is Yu Ge'er's favorite project.
I am more happy than hugs, lifted high.
This kid is just a wild child. Whenever he didn't go out for a stroll, he would be uncomfortable, and he would have to make troubles.
Gu Jiu slumped in a chair, "Where is it hard to get pregnant? Raising a child is really hard."
Those who have raised children probably know this.
Sweating on her body, Gu Jiu went to the bathroom to wash, changed into a light cotton dress, simply inserted a hosta, and went to the second room to visit Ouyang Fu with a gift.
The second room is beaming.
His Highness Liu Ping has been by Ouyang Fu's side all the time, looking at it, the couple seemed to have reconciled.
"Sister-in-law is here, please sit down."
Ouyang Fu lay on the bed, yawning, "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised where the courtesy is not good."
"Second younger siblings lie down quickly, don't move. You are now in double bodies." Gu Jiu walked into the bedroom with three steps and two steps.
His Royal Highness got up, "Sister-in-law is a rare visitor, talk to you. Your Royal Highness will go out to cook first."
"Second brother, go to work, second siblings have me watching here."
His Royal Highness nodded, and then told his next to take care of Ouyang Fu before leaving.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Congratulations to the second sibling, you will be able to achieve everything you want in this birth."
Ouyang Fu's cheeks were red, and he smiled shyly, "I didn't expect to be pregnant. God treats me well."
"Second younger siblings are blessed people," Gu Jiu said.
Ouyang Fu smiled and said, "It's just a pregnancy. My sister-in-law also went to visit in person. How am I embarrassed."
Gu Jiu held her hand and said, "Second siblings don’t have to be polite with me. I heard that you were in a coma for a while. It must be because your body was too weak. The second siblings must pay attention to maintenance. In the first three months, you should not be active."
After speaking, Gu Jiu let go of her hand calmly.
Ouyang Fu nodded, "The imperial doctor said the same, saying that my body is a little weak, and I must be healthy."
Gu Jiu tucked the quilt for her, "If you are pregnant, you can raise your baby with peace of mind. Don't see the people you hate. Don't listen to the things you hate. Just relax your mood and calm your emotions to raise healthy children. ."
In the final analysis, Ouyang Fu is too heavy on his mind, everything is hidden in his heart. The so-called frustration in the heart affects health.
Ouyang Fu lightly stroked his abdomen across the blanket, "Thank you for reminding me. For the sake of my children, I don't care about those people and things, let them go. I can only raise the baby with peace of mind."
Gu Jiu nodded again and again, "That's the right thing to think. Don't hurt yourself because of others."
