After the fake daughter of the Hou Mansion returned to the village, she made a lot of money

Chapter 81 Choosing a concubine (4)
Yun Qingyin was not afraid, she was generous, and said in a low voice, "Does the emperor feel that it is slightly inappropriate for a civilian girl to do so?"

The emperor smiled and said, "That's not what I said, but there is business going on today after all, you don't want to think about how to show off, but focus on these things, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"It's the proper thing for women to do these things."

Yun Qingyin's words aroused the emperor's curiosity, "Let's hear it?"

Yun Qingyin looked at the scene, "Does the emperor know how the civilian girl is different from all the other girls today?"

The emperor noticed that her complexion was pale and looked sick, "Because you are sick today?"

"It's not this." Yun Qingyin shook her head, "The biggest difference between the Minnv and them is the current identity of the Minnv. The Minnv knows her own identity, so she never felt that she could become the side concubine of the prince, but the emperor's will Now, it can’t be changed, since a girl wants to enter the palace, she must spend a lot of money, clothes, jewelry, etc., but a girl only runs a small restaurant, how can she afford these things?”

The emperor was slightly displeased, "Are you blaming me for letting you enter the palace?"

"Don't dare." Yun Qingyin was neither humble nor overbearing, "The emperor can remember the daughter of the people, and give the daughter of the people such a great honor, the daughter of the people is naturally grateful, but the best thing for a businessman to do business and a warrior to be a dart is what kind of person does what. For such a thing, if it were half a year ago, the Minnv would have the Zhongyonghou Mansion to rely on behind her. Today, the concubine of the prince and the Minnv would definitely fight for it, but now, if the Minnv is ignorant, she will still fight Before, I'm afraid it's going to be a joke."

Although Yun Qingyin didn't say that she was on the emperor's discretion to add her name to the list, but every word and every sentence conveyed the same meaning, which can be said to be very merciless.

She spoke so directly that even Princess Anning was sweating for her.

Unexpectedly, the emperor laughed instead of anger when he heard this, and he was in a very good mood, "You girl, when you were in Zhongyonghou's mansion, you were so unforgiving. I didn't expect that you are still like this when you leave Zhongyonghou's mansion. I really can't bear it." Wronged."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Princess Anning also breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen and the others secretly loosened their clenched hands.

"Nowadays, folk girls interact with all kinds of people, so naturally they can't let them decide. It used to be a matter of temperament, but now it's just a matter of livelihood."

As Yun Qingyin spoke, her expression also dimmed. She was pale and thin and stood in the wind. Listening to her words, everyone couldn't help but feel more sympathy when they thought of her current situation.

No one would be able to accept such a gap once she changed from a prostitute of the Hou family to a daughter of the countryside.

The emperor's complexion seemed to be affected by her depressed mood.

"Don't be too sad. I let you enter the palace to give you a good home. I kept saying that I would reward you when you designed the waterwheel that day, but the court was busy, so it kept delaying. A few days ago, the matter of the crown prince's side concubine came up, and I felt that you are still young, and the crown prince is also a mellow person, so I will definitely treat you kindly, so I added you in."

Yun Qingyin was secretly startled, the emperor had already determined her identity, her heart sank a little.

The other noble girls were also shocked when they heard the words, did they all co-author today's trouble for Yun Qingyin?
"If you enter the palace, you will be the crown prince's side concubine, and you will not be burdened by life in the future. I'm afraid Marquis Zhongyong and Mrs. Hou will be very happy when they find out."

Yun Qingyin knelt down directly.

The emperor's face darkened, "What are you doing?"

Yun Qingyin resounded loudly, "Minnv doesn't want to!"

The emperor's complexion turned a little dark, Yun Qingyin's move was undoubtedly an open disobedience to him, and the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and he is used to sitting in a high position, so there is no way for anyone to openly disobey him.

"Yun Qingyin, are you trying to resist the order?"

Yun Qingyin raised her face and was very firm, "The emperor is a wise king, so he probably wouldn't do anything to persecute people. The emperor said that he was rewarding the women of the people for the matter of the waterwheel. Gold, silver and jewelry can be anything, but it can't be a marriage. .”

"Why didn't the marriage go through?" The emperor said coldly, "My prince is a dragon and a phoenix among men, what's wrong with you being his side concubine?"

"Even though the prince is good in every way, he is not as good as his sweetheart in the eyes of the women."

This sentence was like an explosion, causing several people to change their faces.

Those who can be selected as candidates for the crown prince's side concubine must naturally be clean-born, pure-minded, and devoted to the crown prince, but Yun Qingyin said that she already has a sweetheart.

The emperor was slightly angry, "You talk about likes and dislikes at a young age, and you are not afraid of losing face."

"Let's just say crazy things when Minnv was young. From the moment Minnv learned that her true identity was to occupy others half a year ago, Minnv knew that the only thing Minnv could rely on in the future was herself. Eyes, I have to worry about my livelihood for a day, and I have already lost my face and everything."

The emperor's face was as sinking as water, and the queen said at this moment, "Your majesty, you let Miss Yun enter the palace because of her consideration, but it's impossible to think that Miss Yun already has a sweetheart. According to my concubine, let's just let this matter go. Going to what Miss Yun said, rewarding her with some silver taels can be regarded as helping her."

The empress also gave the emperor a step down, "Just as the empress said."

The emperor's expression was still uneasy, "Get up, those who don't know think I'm punishing you to kneel."

Yun Qingyin knelt for too long, almost fell when she stood up, Princess An Ning hurried forward to support her, worried, Yun Qingyin patted her hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor said, "You don't need to sell miserably in front of me. As far as I know, all these things on you are from Dingnan Palace, so you still have to pay for them?"

When mentioning Dingnan Palace at this time, Yun Qingyin thought, as the king of a country, the emperor would not listen to these trivial things that are not worth mentioning every day, so it can be seen that the emperor's attention to Dingnan Palace is indeed extraordinary.

Yun Qingyin became more careful.

"Minnv is only because she taught the young master of Dingnan Palace that Mrs. Delan valued it. When she learned that the minnv was going to enter the palace, she used her private house to add makeup to the minnv. No matter how thick-skinned the minnv is, she can't Lick your face and use someone else's off-the-shelf."

The emperor stopped talking, as if he had nothing to say.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager spoke out at this time, drawing everyone's attention to the business, and the matter of choosing a concubine continued.

Yun Qingyin had made up her mind, she no longer had to worry, so she had no more patience to pretend, so she simply stood up and left.

The queen mother said, "Since you are sick, you should go back to rest early."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yun Qingyin bowed and saluted, because she had been kneeling on the stone road for a long time, Yun Qingyin was a little weaker, and looked more like she was really sick.

Princess Anning was worried about her, "I will go back with you."

Yun Qingyin held her hand, "No need, I'll just go back with Ayao, I'm not in good health now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the reward from the emperor, so the princess will keep it for me first."

With this reminder from her, even if the emperor doesn't want to reward him, he still has to reward him.

Princess An Ning replied, "Don't worry, I will give you a lot."

emperor:"……"

Is it really okay to talk about this in front of him?
……

Yun Qingyin took A Yao out of the palace, and the carriage of Prince Dingnan's Mansion was at the gate of the palace. Seeing her coming out, she hurriedly greeted her.

Sitting inside is Shen Anqiu.

When Yun Qingyin saw that it was him, she immediately felt aggrieved, "Shen Anqiu, I'm in so much pain."

Shen Anqiu felt distressed, helped her into the carriage, and said to A Yao in a gentle voice, "There is a carriage behind."

A Yao nodded quickly.

The carriage left the gate of the palace, Yun Qingyin nestled in Shen Anqiu's arms, relying heavily on him, Shen Anqiu didn't say a word, but hugged her tightly, but his eyes were cold.

After returning to the restaurant, Doctor Qi had already arrived. He looked like he was facing an enemy, which made Yun Qingyin feel a little embarrassed, "It's just that my knee hurts, I'm sorry, I'll let you run for a while."

Feng Jingyun and Aunt Lan also came over.

Knowing that they had something to say, Shen Anqiu offered to send Dr. Qi out.

After the two left, Aunt Lan said, "Without this kneeling, the prince wouldn't have let you into the palace, and you have suffered this crime for nothing."

Feng Jingyun has already secretly informed the people in Dingnan Prince's Mansion that even if Yun Qingyin's entry into the palace is a certainty, a group of ministers can come to advise them. Those are the people who have been favored by the prince and the prince in the early years, so they are naturally reliable .

"It's not a problem." In fact, Shen Anqiu felt a little pain, Yun Qingyin said, "I always feel that the emperor brought me in this time, not just on a whim."

Feng Jingyun looked at her, "What did you find?"

"He specifically mentioned Dingnan Palace today, using me as a bridge, for fear of doubting my relationship with Dingnan Palace."

Feng Jingyun said lightly, "It's not surprising, "Jingxi" and the prince's marriage has been delayed again and again, so he is not a fool to let us fool him, it's just that he has not found evidence."

Although Feng Jingyun said that the cloud is calm and the wind is light, but Yun Qingyin knows that the emperor has been looking for faults in Dingnan Palace these years, and his dislike has already been placed on next year, otherwise the Ministry of Households would not dare to ignore Dingnan In order to save Wang's face, the military expenditure was deducted again and again.

If the emperor finds out about this matter, he is afraid that Nanwangfu will be accused of disrespecting the Tian family.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Aunt Xue is from the Empress Dowager's Palace. Over the years, she has spread news to the Empress Dowager. Even if she looks at it with her own eyes, she can't find anything wrong. The Empress Dowager and the emperor's mother and son will not find anything."

Feng Jingyun calmed down, and said to Yun Qingyin.

Yun Qingyin hummed, "Has Aunt Xue never suspected anything about Haitang Court?"

Aunt Lan said coldly, "She will naturally be curious, but she is also guilty. What's more, she and the Dingnan Palace are already prosperous and damaged. She will know what to say and what not to say."

Yun Qingyin thought that what she said was guilty only because Aunt Xue married into Dingnan Palace, but spread the news of Dingnan Palace for the Queen Mother, so she didn't think much about it.

Seeing with his own eyes that Yun Qingyin was fine, Feng Jingyun went back to the mansion and told King Dingnan that he had gone, and Aunt Lan said many words of comfort to her, and Yun Qingyin responded to them one by one.

After Aunt Lan also left, Shen Anqiu came in.

Yun Qingyin stretched out his hand towards him and shook hands.

"It's okay if you don't leave, I don't want to hide it from you."

Yun Qingyin felt sorry for him.

Shen Anqiu sat down beside her, "I sent Dr. Qi out, and I happened to see your favorite fried chestnuts outside, so I waited for a while, and when I came back, I saw that they had already left."

"Have you bought chestnuts?" Yun Qingyin said cheerfully, "Hurry up and bring them to me."

"It's still hot, let me peel it off for you."

Shen Anqiu sat with Yun Qingyin for a long time, until he ate more than half of those chestnuts, Yun Qingyin couldn't eat any more, and yawned sleepily.

After she fell asleep, Shen Anqiu went back to the room.

Mo Feng was already waiting, "Miss Yun, are you alright?"

"Nothing, how did you check?"

Mo Feng turned serious, "I checked the duty records of the hidden guards in the mansion according to the time you said, and found that there was a hidden guard who was out of duty that night in August, and paid something from the warehouse."

Shen Anqiu showed the arrow that he brought from Yun Qingyin, "Qingqing once asked Mr. Wen from the Ministry of Industry to look at this thing. Mr. Wen said that it was indeed made by the Ministry of War, and it is also found in the warehouses of various governments in the capital. It’s not something special, but somehow I was connected with the Xuanpinghou Mansion.”

Mo Feng took it, "How did this come about?"

"That night when Qingqing and I went back from the restaurant, someone threw an arrow in the back, but Qingqing blocked it."

"That's assassination." Mo Feng said, "In this way, I'm afraid your identity is not simple. If the assassin is really from Xuanpinghou's mansion, and you are somewhat similar to Lord Hou, these even Get up, nine out of ten you are from the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and you have already threatened the other party."

Mo Feng clenched the arrow tightly, "I can't sleep because of this disturbance, I must find out."

……

Yun Qingyin woke up early the day before, and went to the palace again and suffered some crimes, so no one disturbed her the next day, even Princess An Ning came to give the reward of silver, she put it down and left.

Yun Qingyin slept comfortably, and received a reward of 1 taels of silver.

It's a little too petty.

She called Anping over.

"What's the matter, the racecourse is booming now, and I don't dare to slack off at all."

Yun Qingyin gave him all the banknotes, "Pick out some martial arts seedlings for me. Apart from martial arts, people with special talents in other areas are also fine. Fourteen or fifteen years old, it takes too long to train them since childhood."

In short, she wants a quick batch of people.

Anping didn't ask why, "Cultivating talents is not enough."

"I know, you can just choose for me, and I will naturally find a way for the money in the future."

Anping wanted to say that he had a ready-made one in his hand, but then thought that it would not be a bad thing for more people to use it, so he didn't mention it, and left the restaurant with the money.

After another half a month, Yun Qingyin belatedly remembered about the jewelry shop, and went to take a look to see how the effect was, but saw a queue outside the jewelry shop.

Seeing her, A Yao immediately squeezed out and led her in.

"Miss Yun, we made a lot of money!"
