Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 161 Feng Qi makes up a reason

"Grandmother, don't worry, let's discuss this matter again, but grandma is really willing to watch Shen Qingxia grow up? Become the master of our Feng family in the end?" Feng Qi asked.

"How is it possible? Can she turn the world upside down in an outer room?" The old lady shook her head.

"It's hard to say, if she helps the third prince to do this, it will be a great achievement, even though the third prince is asking to marry the eighth princess, then Bai Lianhua can also get the position of side concubine.

Thinking a little further, the third prince has already taken that seat. Bai Lianhua is the imperial concubine, and her mother is also the imperial concubine. Can our family allow an imperial concubine to be a concubine or a flat wife? "Feng Qi said slowly.

The old lady is not a foolish person, nor is she a timid person. She thought about it carefully and felt that if it develops like this, the entire Feng family will have to bow their heads to that woman in the future.

But if you don't follow their wishes, you will be hated by the third prince. It is impossible for the prince to sit on the throne like that. Only the eldest prince can compete with the third prince.

But the eldest prince is not favored, even if he is getting better now, it is still difficult for people without the support of their mother clan.

Seeing the old lady hesitate, Feng Qi knew that she was wavering, fearing that the third prince would hold grudges and that the eldest prince would not be able to support her.

"Grandmother, Xuanyuan Yi is my granddaughter's fiancé."

Only then did the old lady come to her senses: "What do you think the emperor is planning?"

Feng Qi was startled, what could the emperor think?
The old lady sighed: "Originally the first prince and the prince were not very good, only the third prince has a high reputation in the court. Although his mother's family is not very powerful, he has many ministers who support him and is no worse than the prince.

Although the emperor started to advocate for the eldest prince because of your affairs, he did not make any achievements in the early years, and the ministers did not want to see him. This... has no capital to compete with the third prince. "

From the old lady's words, Feng Qi understood one thing, that is, the old lady wanted to help the eldest prince, but she was also worried that the eldest prince would not be able to take that position in the end, and those who stood in the wrong team would definitely not be able to escape the third prince's spell Grasp.

Feng Qi thought for a while and said: "Let's press this matter first, if we don't give it to the second uncle, the third prince will not dare to do anything to us, after all, he is a prince and cannot be robbed, if one day he comes to negotiate with us, we will let go .”

The old lady nodded: "That's fine, let's pretend to be deaf and dumb now, to protect ourselves wisely."

"En." Feng Qi agreed on the surface, but she didn't think so in her heart, Xiaobie Mountain is a big treasure mountain, and if you make good use of it, you can get a lot of money.

With Xuanyuan Yi sitting in charge with this sum of money, he can definitely rise quickly.It's just that this mountain is not a small thing, and it can't be picked up even if it can't be moved.

Because something was on her mind, Feng Qi chatted with the old lady for a few more words before returning to the winter garden.

Tian'er couldn't hold back at the moment, and when she came back here, Guess regained her freedom and said casually: "Princess, is Xiaobieshan a cornucopia?"

Feng Qi laughed: "Almost."

"It would be great if it was the princess' fief." Tian'er said.

Feng Qi's eyes lit up, and she went into the house to search, and found that the fiefdoms given to her by the old emperor were all patchwork, except for the island, they were all poor places.

Thinking of that island, Feng Qi didn't know if the city lord over there would buy her account, so she shouldn't make it difficult for her to introduce the merchants in the past.

After digging out the fief records, Feng Qi discovered one thing, most of what the old emperor gave her were barren mountains, including the Xiaobie Mountain.

It's just that there was an unexpected surprise, with Xiaobie Mountain as the center, the hundred miles below the mountain were all Feng Qi's private property.

Generally, people who open up wasteland and farm land must report to the government, and then the government will make a record.When the emperor above is happy and rewards the fief with a wave of his hand, these private properties will not change, because they belong to the people who opened up the wasteland at the beginning.

But Feng Qi's fief is different, it is real private property, Feng Qi didn't pay attention to this at first, thinking that it is the same as other people's fief, just sitting on taxes, but she doesn't want to own the land and private property.

It's just... If the emperor deliberately did this, would he have noticed the value of Xiaobie Mountain?He just wanted to push Xuanyuan Yi up with his own hands?

Why is he so sure he can do it?

Feng Qi only felt that her mind was a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, this Xiaobie Mountain was her own, which meant that she had absolute mining rights.

The first thing to do now is to go to the yamen. After showing the county lord his documents, he will negotiate with the Feng family to pay compensation at the usual mountain price to buy the land deed, and then come to the yamen to get the following.

Tian'er didn't understand what Feng Qi was thinking, but felt that Feng Qi's face was cloudy and frightening.

"Tian'er, let's go, let's go to the yamen." Feng Qi called Tian'er to go out with the paperwork.

Tian'er turned her head and walked into the inner room.

"Why are you going?" Feng Qi was startled.

"Isn't the princess going out? How can I do things without money?" Tian'er said without turning her head.

Feng Qi laughed, she didn't need money to go to the Yamen to do errands by herself, but it's good to bring some, so as to be prepared.

After getting ready, the two went out to the yamen directly. The yamen guard saw that Feng Qi didn't look down on her, and said politely, "What's wrong with this young lady?"

Feng Qi nodded: "Brother, please let me know that Princess Renxiao has come to collect the fief!"

When the yamen servant heard that the princess was coming, he didn't inform him, and said directly: "See the princess, and please come down with the princess!"

Entering the back hall of the yamen, Feng Qi saw the magistrate, but she didn't expect him to be very young, only 40 years old.

Because the yamen guard stopped a servant girl to report, the county master smiled when he saw Feng Qi: "I'm sorry, please wait!"

Feng Qi smiled and said: "No problem, today I just want to take over the fief here."

The county magistrate took a look at the document and said, "This Xiaobie Mountain is full of rocks, and the land below the mountain is also barren. Even if it is reclaimed, crops cannot be grown. The princess really wants it?"

Feng Qi nodded: "Of course, since it belongs to me, how can I not accept it?"

The county magistrate said: "The princess doesn't know something. There is also a special point about confiscating the land. Although the officials will negotiate with the current landlord to take it back, the princess will eventually have to make up for the money."

Feng Qi nodded: "I don't know how much to make up?"

The county magistrate said: "800 taels should be replenished in this area. If the trees were not felled, it would cost thousands of taels." His words were full of sighs. It's a pity that a good mountain has been felled too much.

"Your Excellency must have known about the General's Mansion, and it might be taken back at any time, so I want to build a mansion for myself here. There are gravels on that mountain, so I can use local materials!" Feng Qi compiled a reason.
