The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 281 Make me abide by the law

Du Qian drank another cup of tea and asked, "Did my sister hear something?"

 “I didn’t hear anything.”

 “Then why do you care about your eldest brother’s life-long affairs?”

"I was just thinking about what kind of woman is worthy of my eldest brother." Du Wan puffed up her chest and looked very proud, making Du Qian laugh heartily.

Du Wan did not tell Qin Jiu about his secret love for him.

 In fact, it would be okay for Du Wan if Qin Jiu was her sister-in-law. But she could tell that Du Qian didn't seem to care about Qin Jiu. Therefore, she was not going to get involved.

Du Wan then thought of the ladies who came to visit the eldest princess, and the Duke and Duchess of Zhenguo, who were all eyeing his marriage... Inexplicably, she shuddered, it was not easy for her to be cheap.

The brothers and sisters did not stay long. The eldest princess sent someone to inform them that it was almost time to enter the palace. This is a favor from the emperor, and he still needs to go to the palace to express his gratitude.

 The whole family is neatly dressed and looks dignified.

 Get in the carriage and enter the palace together.

There is also a small charcoal stove in the carriage, burning golden charcoal to keep the carriage warm.

 …

 In the palace, just as Pei Hao said.

Without having to go to court early, most of the piles of memorials sent to the palace were against Du Qian's fiefdom autonomy. They also cited scriptures and arguments and used history as a mirror to prove the harm of this move to the Qin Dynasty.

 The emperor threw all these memorials into the brazier.

 For people who suffer from pinkeye, sooner or later we will find an opportunity to treat them!

 The emperor asked the chief eunuch, "Is no one entering the princess's palace today?"

 “It’s almost time to arrive at the palace gate.” The **** chief said respectfully.

The emperor thought for a while and ordered: "Add another charcoal basin to make it warmer here. Girls are more afraid of the cold. Also prepare some sunflower seeds and candied dried fruits, and don't forget the snacks, which little girls like to eat... Let someone make a pot of ginseng tea."

 The chief **** should be respectful and ask others to prepare it.

 The family of four soon met the emperor.

Du Wan, as usual, bowed obediently and said hello.

 The emperor's smile deepened and he asked her to sit next to him. A maid immediately brought her a bowl of warm ginseng tea. Then a bunch of delicious food was served one after another.

 The other three people’s mouths twitched.

The difference in treatment should not be too big.

Du Wan was about to eat when she realized it was too quiet. When she looked up, her heart skipped a beat. Is her kind and lovely sister-in-law about to collapse?

 She quickly stood up, brought four clean tea bowls, and poured four bowls of ginseng tea herself. First, he brought a bowl to the emperor, then to the eldest princess and Prince Consort Du, and then to the cheap brother. After such a busy time, I returned to my original seat and started enjoying myself with peace of mind.

Du Wan felt that she was polite and considerate.

 A few other people wanted to laugh inexplicably, and the little girl's every move was full of joy.

Du Wan entertained others without knowing it at all. She raised her eyelids seriously and said, "Why are you looking at this fairy? Just drink tea."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　∣　

The eldest princess was the first to hold back her laughter.

One person started laughing, and several others couldn’t hold it back either.

Du Wan was the only one who was confused. She didn’t know why they were laughing, but she was not stupid and saw that they were all laughing at her. But looking back on everything I said and did, there is nothing wrong with it.

Hence, her little face was tangled and she stared at everyone.

　A few people laughed more joyfully.

Du Wan glanced sideways at the cheap brother, "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?"

“You’re not laughing at anything, my sister is free to do it.” Du Qian couldn’t tell what he was laughing at, but sometimes his sister didn’t do anything and stared at you with her eyes, which made people want to laugh.

Du Wan ignored them and drank a bowl of ginseng tea as if enjoying it. Finally, she felt her belly was warm. She reached out and touched her belly. This touch reminded her of business. He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, bent down and approached the emperor like a thief, one by one, and divided the banknotes, "Uncle, half for each person."

 “Where did it come from again?” The emperor’s eyes flashed slightly.

Du Wan said truthfully, "The Wu family and the Wu Qian family bribed me one hundred thousand taels just for letting me enter the palace to deliver a message. They are really rich. My little treasury didn't even have five dollars before my eldest brother was imprisoned in the sky prison." It’s a thousand taels.”

 When talking about the latter part, the more I talk about it, the more I feel aggrieved.

The emperor smiled and put away the banknote, thinking he was pretending to be aggrieved and not taking her money?

 What a beautiful thought!

Du Wanbai got fifty thousand taels, and she was quite happy. This was money that had been spent on Minglu Road, and it was not a shame to spend it. "The Wu family has taken the bait, and uncle can kill it."

 “I know.” The emperor was very happy.

During this period, the little girl's accidents filled the treasury a lot.

Du Wan happily shared the secret with him in a low voice, "Did you know? This is the first time I have received a bribe. It is quite novel. When I receive it next time, I will share half with my uncle."

 “Don’t mess around, you still have to keep the law.”

“I know, my eldest brother often says that I must abide by the law.”

 “Then did you listen?”

"..." Du Wan looked at the emperor with her little eyes strangely, "I have never broken the law, didn't I just listen? You actually ask about such a simple thing."

emperor:"…"

 Is this being looked down upon?

 The other three people who listened attentively felt that it made sense.

 The emperor suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Ever since the little girl returned from her disappearance, her behavior has been very different from usual. She is straightforward and upright, does whatever she wants, and is childish.

 The emperor decided to ignore the little girl for the time being and chatted with the eldest princess about home affairs.

Du Huimao occasionally said a few words.

Du Qian, a junior, can only listen.

Du Qian was granted the title of Prince of the County and was assigned 500 personal guards. The emperor asked him to go to the imperial guard camp to select. Du Qian finally proposed not to add burden to the court and only selected five hundred retired guards. He also said that he wanted to build a high wall, and these people were just used for running errands.

 A few more days passed.

 The Princess Mansion is still as comfortable as ever.

 No matter how big the commotion was in the court due to Du Qian's affairs, it had nothing to do with the princess's residence.

Du Wan also pretended not to know.

 The two brothers and sisters should do whatever they want.

On the contrary, when Prince Consort Du goes to court, he will inevitably meet some ministers who say congratulations, but in fact they are suffering from pink eye. Some people also wanted to persuade Du Qian to return his privileges to the emperor, saying that he wanted to maintain the stability of the court.

Du Huima scolded these people bloody.

Du Wan asked Du Liu about gossip every day and was very happy.

 There is some gossip that Ningqin cannot find out.

For example, Du Wan heard about the Wu family’s affairs from Du Qian’s mouth.

 You cannot go out in heavy snow.

Du Wan likes to hide in the house, eat melon seeds and listen to gossip.

Du Qian narrated while drinking tea, "The emperor confiscated 90% of the Wu family's property. In addition, Wu Qian's private property was also dug out. Surprisingly, the amount was only one million, which is about the same as Old Man Zhou."

 The emperor originally had great expectations for Wu Qian's family property.

 Maybe it was because he was disappointed that he made the heavy move.
