After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 96
The two father and son chatted for less than half an hour, mostly talking about the resettlement of the victims. For fourteen days of heavy snow, no matter how well the arrangement was, the situation was not optimistic.

Fortunately, there is Gu Wanning's example of asking the victims to work for food, the emperor kind of followed suit, but it relieved a lot of pressure.

On the way back to the East Palace, the prince was in a good mood. He felt that what the six siblings said was absolutely correct. His father was indeed the most loving father.

The queen mother has always told him to guard against his brothers, which is true, but is it necessary to guard against the sixth son?Is there anyone in the Daxing Dynasty who doesn't know that he is not favored?
Moreover, as long as he behaves well, he will definitely be able to sit in this position forever, and one day he will inherit the great rule and rule the world.

Just thinking about it, a little palace lady held a tray in her hand, and the tray should be filled with clothes. When she saw him, she respectfully saluted him. The clothes on the tray fell off, and the little maid let out a slight exclamation, and the prince couldn't help but glanced at it.

At night, even if the distance is close, it is actually impossible to see her appearance clearly, but the prince can feel the fearful breath on her body, which is really pitiful.

He asked himself that he had always been a sympathetic person, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it just that the clothes fell off? At worst, if it's stolen, just wash it again."

The little palace maid hurriedly said: "But the imperial concubine and empress want some urgently, servant girl, servant girl, servant girl must be punished today."

The imperial concubine is a person who doesn't rub the sand in her eyes. If she misses her business, if she hits a few boards lightly, half her life may be lost if it is heavy.

When she spoke in a hurry, she raised her head and looked directly at the prince. Although she quickly lowered her head again, it was still enough for the prince to see her appearance.

The crown prince felt his eyes light up, and his words were a little brisk, "It's not easy, I will send a personal attendant to accompany you, just explain the matter clearly, don't worry, the imperial concubine will not punish you. "

The little maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed twice: "My servant thanked the prince for his great kindness, and the prince's great kindness is so kind to this servant."

"Okay, get up quickly." After finishing speaking, the crown prince ordered his personal eunuch, "You just..."

The little maid said wisely: "Slave Yuan Xiang."

The prince smiled warmly: "You go with Miss Yuanxiang, remember to go and come back quickly."

Defu saw the prince's expression completely in his eyes, glanced at Yuan Xiang who was still kneeling, and greeted: "Miss Yuan Xiang, follow the servant."

Yuan Xiang got up quickly, carrying the tray and followed Defu towards Chengqian Palace.

……

After returning from Chengqian Palace, Yuan Xiang will return to the Huanyi Bureau after thanking Defu for justice.

Defu smiled and said: "Miss Yuanxiang, I dare not admit that you thank me. If I want to thank you, I should also thank the prince. Do you think it makes sense?"

Under the dim light, Yuan Xiang's expression was a little tense, and she said timidly: "The servant also knows that he should thank His Highness the Crown Prince face to face, but the servant is a low-ranking maid in the clothing bureau, how can she have the right to meet the Crown Prince? "

"It's good for the girl to know, but our prince is easy to talk, so you can go with our family."

In this way, Yuan Xiang was taken to the East Palace by Defu.

The Eastern Palace under the night is like a giant man-eating beast, opening its mouth like an ignorant person.

……

Sure enough, the snow didn't fall all night. The emperor and all the officials, who were up early, were in a very good mood. As the sun rose, the emperor's good mood returned.

The snow disaster was the first thing mentioned in the early court, and some clever courtiers tried to show their willingness to donate money in the court.

So all civil and military officials put on a fierce show about the donation, some donated more, some didn't know but promised to donate themselves, and they went home to get the money in the next court.

When he arrived at Gu Xian's place, he also donated 1000 taels of silver like other officials of the same rank.

It hurts him to donate.

The annual salary of a fourth-rank official is only 300 taels of silver, plus Lumi and entitlement salary, the total is more than [-] taels, which is not enough for him to donate this time after working for three years.

Fortunately, the family did not wait for him to live on this little salary. He also ran a few shops when he was in the Northwest. Although he closed the business there after returning to Beijing, the shop was also sold for a lot of money. It's still ample, otherwise, their family will just wait to eat dirt.

After coming down to court, all the officials swept away their excitement at the Golden Luan Hall, showing a bitter look on their faces. After all, the higher the official position, the higher the donation amount. Who would feel comfortable taking it out for no reason?
All of them hurried out of the palace gate.

When Gu Xian sat in his office, some colleagues were already talking about the donation.

"I heard that the matter of donating money was brought up by the third concubine. She took the lead in donating 8000 taels of silver in her dowry, saying that she wanted to relieve the emperor's worries. This is really..." The tone was obvious Not a compliment, but rather resentment.

"Is this the case? Why did I hear another version, saying that this matter is related to Princess Yujun..." The voice disappeared, and then they remembered that the real father of Princess Yujun What about their colleagues!

The few people who were discussing outside moved their positions, and deliberately lowered their voices to whisper.

"If you ask me, the rumor that the third concubine took the lead is more realistic. I have heard that the second and third concubines donated 8000 taels, while the fifth and sixth only donated 1 taels. Afraid of spending money, besides, who doesn't know Yujun princess is poor."

Marrying the prince only has a dowry of more than 60, which is definitely the poorest one among the several princes and concubines.

A few people nodded immediately. Gu Xian's usual performance was just there. He was very hard-working and simple. When his daughter got married, she only had a few dozen dowry, which was much worse than other princes and concubines. How could she be willing to give it all at once? 1 taels of silver?
"The Zhao family is famous for having silver. To the third concubine, one or twenty thousand taels of silver is nothing at all."

There are a lot of miscellaneous things.

Although Gu Xian didn't listen to everything, he still made a good guess, saying that his daughter is poor... Forget it, let's treat her as poor, but no matter how poor she is, she can still get 1 taels of silver, and he can be sure. , if a certain rumor involves his daughter, it must have something to do with her daughter, so if she volunteers to donate money, then she must be digging a hole for others.

And it is very likely that the third concubine is the one who was tricked by her.

Silently lighting a piece of wax for the third prince and concubine, Gu Xian continued to sip tea and read books in his own room, don't live too comfortably!
……

At this time, in the Kunning Palace, a large group of people were sitting, waiting for the Seventh Prince and his wife to offer tea.
