Chapter 16 Is Zhenbei Wangfu so tyrannical?
Gu Yufei looked at Gu Yuling up and down with the corner of her mouth pulled, her eyes were full of sarcasm, as if she was looking at the servants of the Gu family.

Gu Yuling took a step back slightly, lowered her face slightly to hide the shock in her eyes, and saluted respectfully, "Second sister."

Gu Yufei sneered, and said in the tone of ordering a servant: "I'm not feeling well tomorrow, you go to the Princess's mansion to find out for me, prepare the gift yourself, if you let me know that you didn't go, you won't be able to get any favors from Gu's house in the future !"

Gu Yuling was taken aback, she didn't expect Gu Yufei to let her contact the eldest princess.

She knew Gu Yufei, Mrs. Gu loved her, and even if she didn't go, Mrs. Gu wouldn't do anything to Gu Yufei. But if this matter was pushed to her head and she didn't do it, then severe and cruel punishment would be waiting for her.

"Yes, Second Sister, I will visit the eldest princess tomorrow morning." Gu Yuling said respectfully.

"You're smart!" Gu Yufei proudly took the maid and left, and hurried back to try on the new jewelry she got, without embarrassing Gu Yuling anymore.

When Gu Yufei's back was no longer visible, Gu Yuling straightened up. The personal maid Taohua who was following her worriedly said: "Miss, we can't even get out ten taels of silver from the courtyard, how can we prepare a gift for the princess? Otherwise, you Why don't you go tell the lady?"

Gu Yuling clutched the old handkerchief in her hand, shook her head, "Tell Madam at this time, I will be punished, my second sister will be punished, and my second sister will also implicate me."

Taohua stopped talking.

What the lady said is right, the master doesn't value concubine children at all, not to mention that the lady is just a concubine daughter, the lady's mother is long gone, and she can only live under the hands of the wife. Whether she can marry a good family in the future depends entirely on the wife. At this moment If I offend my sister-in-law and my wife, the young lady will really have no way out.

There are also some things that Gu Yuling didn't tell her personal servant girl. She seems to observe the eldest princess differently from before. If the eldest princess is still the same as before, she can at most remind the eldest princess one or two times, but now, maybe the eldest princess is her life-saving straw.

If she can make good use of this opportunity, maybe she can earn a light for her future.

On the first night of staying at the Princess' Mansion, Qin Shuhuang had a rare good night's sleep.

The dream no longer contained the miserable scenes of the previous life, but the scenes of playing with the emperor's brother in the palace when he was a child.

In her sleep, she again felt Xuan Cang standing not far from the bed, looking at her. There was still a faint smell of walnut cake in the air. She twitched the corner of her mouth, but this time she did not wake up and catch him.

When she got up and had breakfast in the morning, Ruihe came in and reported, "Your Highness, someone from Zhenbei Palace next door sent a return gift. The old butler who sent the gift is waiting outside the courtyard!"

Next to him, Shiyu was a little surprised and said: "The Prince of Zhenbei is not as arrogant and rude as the rumors outside say? His Highness sent a greeting gift yesterday, and he sent someone to return the gift today, and it was delivered personally by the chief steward of the palace."

Shi Lan coughed, "What everyone in Beijing cares about is not what happens to the Zhenbei Palace, but they are all afraid of the crippled king..."

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Shilan, who immediately covered her mouth.

After a while, the chief steward of Zhenbei Palace was invited to the flower hall.

The old housekeeper's surname was Xie and his given name was Long. As soon as he saw Qin Shuhuang, he bowed respectfully.

Afterwards, the four return gifts were presented to Qin Shuhuang by Housekeeper Xie himself.

After returning the gift, Housekeeper Xie hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that he would be stopped if he was late, which made people feel a little strange.

After Butler Xie left, Shilan helped Qin Shuhuang open the return gift from Zhenbei Palace.

When he saw the return gifts inside, not only the maids but also Qin Shuhuang were surprised.

Each gift in the four-color gift box is of great value.

The four gifts were century-old wild ginseng, a huge piece of pure gold ingot, a piece of top-quality black jade, and a glass cup with excellent transparency.

Rui He closed his small mouth that was opened wide in surprise, "Your Highness, is the Zhenbei Palace so arrogant?"

The four gifts added together are probably worth 5000 taels of silver...

Although the meeting gifts given by their Highnesses were exquisite, they would only cost less than 50 taels if converted into money... Among the four gifts, Yunwu tea was the most expensive, and the incense-scented cakes were given by their maids under the guidance of His Highnesses. Made at home, the raw materials don’t cost much money.

After Qin Shuhuang was surprised, there was a warmth that could warm her heart.

She knew that Xuan Cang was the crippled king, and Xuan Cang had been by her side all day long. Of course he knew that she was short of money now, so he was silently helping her by giving gifts...

Ruimiao was amused, "No wonder Butler Xie left so quickly just now. He was probably afraid that His Highness would find the gift valuable and refuse to accept it."

Several maids looked at Qin Shuhuang at the same time, "Your Highness, this gift..."

Qin Shuhuang reached out and caressed the gift box, "Which of you dare to send this gift back to Zhenbei Palace?"

Several maids hurriedly waved their hands. The crippled king's reputation was not built on, and they didn't have the courage.

"Let's stay here. I happen to be short of money. You exchanged these things for silver. The big deal is that I owe King Zhenbei a favor, and there will always be a chance to pay it back in the future." Items sent by the Prince Zhenbei There is no special mark and they are all good things. They are very easy to sell, and they can be exchanged for silver tickets in less than half a day.

Qin Shuhuang was right, and the return gift from Zhenbei Palace was kept.

Xuan Cang, who was guarding the door with his personal guards, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Shuhuang did not return the gift from the palace. Although he wanted to post more, Shuhuang might become suspicious if there were more.

The gifts from Zhenbei Palace were exchanged for a total of 500 taels. At this time, news came from Ruihe that Qin Shuhuang's shops and property in Zhuangzi had been bought by Qin Wei's relatives at a high price.

Qin Shuhuang nodded, "Calculate how much silver you have now."

Ruimiao made calculations against the account book and soon got the result, "Your Highness, there are a total of 100 taels."

Originally, Qin Shuhuang had 3000 taels, plus the 500 taels from the Can Wang, the Huangzhuang shops and properties were sold for a total of 600 taels.

The money should be enough to buy food for the time being.

The four big maids still don't know what Qin Shuhuang is doing with raising so much money.

Only Qin Shuhuang said: "I want to exchange all these silvers for food!"

Qin Shuhuang's eyes were firm, but the four maids were even more surprised than before.

For an ordinary household, 4 taels is money that cannot be spent in ten lifetimes. If you buy food, you may not be able to fit it in ten large ships. What does Her Royal Highness want to buy so much food?
