The group favors Xiao Caibao, she is soft, cute and arrogant

Chapter 144 - Franchise Fee

Heavy snow came one after another, dyeing the original vermilion and golden sunshine into silver.

Ever since Little Sixth Princess became God's Concubine, the harem seems to have become much busier in an instant.

Now that New Year's Eve is approaching, everyone in the whole palace has started to get busy.

However, today is different from the past. This year, His Majesty and the Empress advocate diligence and thrift, and the food and clothing expenses in every place have been reduced a lot. Even the Longchen Palace and Fengluan Palace are not as colorful as in previous years, and the rest of the palaces are even worse. Don't dare to add bricks and tiles to yourself.

But this is the first New Year's Eve that Little Diji spends in Longchen Palace.

You Bao supported his chubby cheeks with both hands, and sat on the small bench in the corridor in a daze.

A pair of big eyes looked back and forth at the busy palace people passing by the gate of Longchen Palace.

Some of them carried water basins to sweep, some took a few beautiful stickers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hang, and some went to the greenhouse to move a lot of beautiful flowers.

However, everyone has a bit of invisible anxiety and seriousness on their faces, and they don't look happy at all.

"The ingredients for the evening meal have been reduced again. In the past, our princess had at least six dishes as a base. Tonight, the small kitchen can only make four dishes." Xiaodong and Xiaoqiu whispered behind Xiaobao's back. complained.

"Hey, don't complain. Even the meal between His Majesty and the Empress can't exceed five plates. The House of Internal Affairs still knew that our Emperor Ji was favored, so they sent another fish.

It has been half a month in other palaces that they haven't seen the fishy sea. "

"This year's famine is severe, and there is nothing we can do..."

Xiao Youbao was attracted by the conversation between the two, and turned his head to look at them. The grandmother asked nonchalantly: "If this goes on like this, everyone will be hungry?"

Zai Zai's calm face was full of seriousness, his watery eyes blinked, "Are there still a lot of hungry people out there?"

Xiaoyoubao is now the jewel in the palm of the emperor's and queen's hands, even if the whole palace cuts down on food and clothing every day, it is the only one that will not lose her share.

There must be fish and another meat dish in the daily meal, not to mention the beautiful clothes, just Qin Xiaoye ordered the princess from the Shangyi Bureau to tailor the tutu skirt, and the closet almost couldn't fit it.

How can a naive baby know the other world outside the palace?

Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong made eye contact, walked to Xiaobao and squatted down, "That's right, princess, this year's famine has been severe, and most of the silver in the treasury has been used for disaster relief, but it is far from enough. said the steward.

Obviously, a large amount of money was allocated, but due to the disaster relief in the capital, the disaster victims from far outside the city came continuously, and we simply couldn't supply enough. It was useless for His Majesty and the Empress to use their own money bank. "

Listening to the description in Xiaodong's mouth, Xiao Youbao couldn't help but pick up his expression, showing a look of bitterness and hatred, "Well, it's no wonder Daddy has been busy late every day.

The prince's elder brother and the queen mother don't have time to play with Xiaobao either. "

The little man imitated the grown-up and sighed, "Then what should we do... Youbao also wants to help."

Xiao Youbao took out the little golden beans that he had saved up in the past few days, and was about to hand them over to Xiaodong to let her hand them over to his father, when he heard a voice behind him.

"You don't need your little treasury anymore, I have thought of a way." Qin Fuyi walked here slowly with his arms folded, his lazy posture was incompatible with the frowning looks of everyone now.

Xiaobao knows that the pretty brother is the best way.

Zai Zai stood up from the bench, and walked over to hold his hand, "Brother Yi, what can you do?"

"You take me to see His Majesty, and you will know when the time comes."

Youbao responded, and led him to the study room of Longchen Palace without hesitation.

Recently, His Majesty does not allow anyone to disturb you when you are dealing with official business. Several ignorant palace people disturbed Su Qian

They were all punished.

Fortunately, today's great tyrant is different from the past, and it seems that he will not kill people easily anymore. ,

And among all the people, only Xiaoyoubao can lead people in and out of all places in Longchen Palace at will, and the tyrant will not get angry at all.

"Daddy ~ Youbao came to see you!" Xiaoyoubao deliberately brought a new cup of tea that he had learned from Jian Huan, holding the teacup steadily with his two little hands, step by step and tightened his hands on the table Su Gan, who pinched the bridge of his nose, walked over.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Su Qian frowned, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips to take the tea in her hand, "That's right, I've learned how to make tea now."

"Daddy is swollen, do you know it's Xiaobao who made the tea~" Zaizai naturally used the strength of Daddy's arm to get into his arms and found the most comfortable place, so Paji sat down firmly In Daddy's arms.

Su Qianning looked at the arrogance overflowing on Zai Zai's face, as well as the anticipation that could not be concealed at all, and he knew it already.

He stretched out his hand pamperingly and scratched her small upturned nose, "You, it's all written on your face with such a small thought, what should you do in the future."

"Hee hee~" You Bao rubbed the palm of his father's hand affectionately, like a kitten.

After the father and daughter were finished warming up, Su Qian finally noticed the unknown Qin Fuyi standing aside.

He coughed lightly, and said in a serious voice, "You asked Xiaobao to lead you here?"

Qin Fuyi nodded and bowed to him. Before he could speak, Xiao Youbao rushed to explain for him.

"Brother Yi thought of how to solve Daddy's problem! That's why Youbao brought him here to disturb Daddy. I hope Daddy won't be angry with Brother Pretty."

Su Qian's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at someone sideways, with a deep smile on his face.

It's only been so long, and the brother and brother have been yelling non-stop?
Qin Fuyi: ...

Hurry up and save your life! ! !

"I have been thinking hard about countermeasures for the past few days, just to relieve your Majesty's worries. Now I have thought of a perfect color, and now I have recorded it on paper. Please read it to Your Majesty."

He respectfully handed over the book full of rice paper.

The boy's handwriting is capable and calmer than his age, and the strength and elegance of the sweeping gestures made Su Qian's eyes shine.

It is indeed much stronger than those silly sons in my family.

I didn't expect Lin Xu to have such an extraordinary talent for raising children.

Youbao also straightened his neck, leaned his head to look at it, but unfortunately he looked at it for a long time, but didn't understand much, and put his chubby head back angrily.

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Qian put away the rice paper, raised his eyes and asked him, "Franchise fee? I haven't carried out this incredible project in the past dynasties."

Qin Fuyi sighed: Oh, the ancients didn't know the fragrance of the franchise fee.

"Over the years, our government has only collected national taxes. Is the franchise fee a kind of tax?"
