The whole family travels with me

Chapter 142 The dilemma of raising money

Hongzhu secretly glanced at Gongsun Yi and said: "What should the king do? We just have to issue an order clearly. Madam, please don't forget Princess Yuhua. Now the king is still angry with Princess Yuhua. If we don't If we pay this amount, what will happen if the king really marries Princess Yuhua to Huiping Mansion?"

Huiping Mansion is a place where even the influence of the Gongsun family cannot reach. It is a hell. Princess Yuhua must not marry there!

When it came to Princess Yuhua, Concubine Gongsun had a ferocious look on her face, screamed incompetently, and yelled angrily. She vented for a long time before compromising and letting Hongzhu take her token to go to Gongsun Rong.

When Gongsun Rong and Anshi heard Concubine Gongsun's request, you can imagine how big their reactions were. If they didn't have the last shred of reason, they might have said on the spot that they would sever their relationship with Concubine Gongsun.

Hongzhu also knew that Concubine Gongsun's request was too much, so she forced herself to say it and ran away.

An's face can no longer be described as black.

Gongsun Rong rarely spoke down to her, "Madam."

Anshi glanced at him indifferently, "I don't want my life for money! My life isn't worth anything anyway!"

"Madam! I have already apologized to you for that matter! Why can't we just let it go? We have been married for more than [-] years, and you still don't know how I treat you?" Gongsun Rong wanted to show his heart to An.

Anshi sneered, "Yes! If it hadn't been for that time, I really wouldn't have known that your heart was dark!"

"Madam!" Gongsun Rong was a little angry, but he had to suppress his anger and persuaded earnestly: "No matter what, you have to think about future generations. If the imperial concubine cannot get those things, the king will not do anything to the imperial concubine. But falling out of favor is inevitable! You know how much benefit we have gained from the concubine's favor over the years. If the king wants to liquidate, don't you think about what will happen to the Gongsun family?

And the An family, how much benefit have you gained for the An family? I think your empress knows better than me. What will be the consequences if this matter is not handled properly? "

"Gongsun Rong! Don't be alarmist! Even if I don't take out those things, Gongsun Yi can't do anything to me! If you really push me into a panic, it will be a dead end! Whoever hasn't taken advantage of others, don't think that you only have me. The handle!

besides!I'm not that good-for-nothing with Down syndrome, I don't even have the ability to protect myself!As long as I die, everyone will be buried with me!If you don’t believe me, just wait and see! "An raised his chin and looked at Gongsun Rong happily.

Her heart had become cold as early as when Gongsun Rong withdrew her as a shield. From that time on, she had begun to pave the way for herself.

"You!" Gongsun Rong stood up angrily, "Are you really unwilling to help?"

Old God An closed her eyes, her silence already showing her attitude.

Gongsun Rong walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

Aunt Tong whispered: "Madam, are you really not going to help this time?"

Anshi sneered: "It's enough for me to stumble once in my life. No one has ever made me stumble twice!"

"But then the friendship between you and the prime minister will come to an end! And the imperial concubine will definitely resent you." Aunt Tong was worried, secretly worried for An.

An's family is as stable as Mount Tai.

Concubine Gongsun burst into tears after hearing Gongsun Rong's words, "She really doesn't want to give anything?" Gongsun Rong frowned and nodded heavily, "I tried to persuade her, and even confessed her mistake in a low voice, but she was determined. If you refuse to pay, what should you do now! If you ask me, your Majesty should not have taken this risk in the first place. When it comes to money, no one in the aristocratic family can compare with the Zhou family. Why do you bother to go against the Zhou family? You can give it to yourself for nothing Got into a whole lot of trouble!”

"You blame me?" Concubine Gongsun laughed angrily, "I am the most noble concubine! All the women in the harem must listen to me and do things based on my expression! It's just a princess, so what if I kill her?"

Gongsun Rong said with a straight face, "What's the use of talking so much! The most important thing now is to raise things. Princess Yuhua is about to wake up. If she wakes up and the matter is not resolved, those people from the Yan Kingdom will continue to stay in Long The city is not very kind to her!"

For the first time, Concubine Gongsun realized what it meant to be helpless. It wasn't that she couldn't get those things, but once she gave them away, her Princess Yuhua's dowry would definitely be reduced by more than half.

After several struggles, she gritted her teeth and said, "How much can you produce over there?"

Gongsun Rong was not willing to give a penny, but when he saw Concubine Gongsun's cold gaze, he had to say: "10 taels."

The 10 taels was much less than Concubine Gongsun had expected. She said: "Go to other stores to get some more silver. I can make up some 20 taels, and I will figure out a solution for the others."

Gongsun Rong opened his mouth, but in the end he did not refute.

The brother and sister broke their legs trying to raise money, and finally finished collecting things before Princess Qingyang left the palace.

King Chen was very satisfied and went to Xiyue Palace again, and stayed with Concubine Gongsun for a long time.

After receiving the news, Concubine Zhou continued to change her clothes unhurriedly and asked people to pack their luggage. She estimated that the envoy of Yan State was almost out of the city before walking towards Cheng'an Palace.

When King Chen heard that Concubine Zhou was coming, he subconsciously frowned and asked his chamberlain to announce the person in.

Concubine Zhou saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the main reason why I came here today is about the royal mausoleum. The old concubine who guarded the mausoleum died of illness at the beginning of the year. I saw that the king has not selected anyone for a long time, so I wanted to ask the emperor about it. Can I, my concubine, go and guard the royal tomb?"

King Chen looked shocked and looked at Concubine Zhou seriously for the first time, "Why do you want to guard the royal tomb?"

Going to the royal mausoleum is no different from being banished to the cold palace. The old concubine is the late emperor's sinful concubine. Concubine Zhou has no merit and no fault. The only princess still goes to get married. She should be treated kindly. Although King Chen doesn't like Concubine Zhou, in order to block Youyou Everyone would not send Concubine Zhou to the royal tomb.

Concubine Zhou said unhurriedly: "I started fasting and chanting Buddha's name many years ago. Princess Qingyang got married, and I'm relieved of my worries. I can rest assured and clean up. After all, the palace is not as good as a temple or nunnery. No matter how you close the door, You can live your life without being bothered by mundane things, and when you go to the royal mausoleum, your concubines can focus on cultivating their moral character and praying for the king and the princess."

King Chen was very satisfied when he heard the words "praying for him", and his face looked better. He touched his chin and pondered for a while before hesitating to speak, "But the living conditions over there in the royal mausoleum are simple after all."

Concubine Zhou smiled and said, "This is a humble house, but I am kind to you. I don't care about that. Besides, I will go and have a look. If the conditions are really not good, I can pay someone to build a small yard."

King Chen thought for a while and then sighed: "That's it! Since you want to go, then go! Pick one of the royal chefs in the palace to go, as well as the servants who serve you. You can take as many as you want, even if you go When visiting the royal mausoleum, everything must follow the rules in the palace."

"Yes!" Concubine Zhou agreed and left with a satisfied smile.
