She had previously worried that another prince would come from behind and replace her son with the crown prince.

After all, in all dynasties, the prince has always been regarded as a target and died the fastest. Few of them can achieve success and successfully sit on the throne of emperor.

Especially after learning about the Fourth Prince's affairs, the Emperor still did not impose any punishment or restrictions, which made the Queen feel quite uneasy.

Now, the stone that was weighing on my heart has finally fallen.

The Queen sent over hairpins and flowers: "These are new styles that the Internal Affairs Bureau sent yesterday. Take a look and see if there are any you like. I will give them to you."

"This, Sister Shu Yue is wearing this!"

The Sixth Prince quickly grabbed a rose hairpin with gold thread embroidery and put it on her head.

Today she wore a Sichuan brocade dress. The rose embroidery on the cuffs was lively and elegant, and it matched the hairpin perfectly.

Jiang Shuyue's cheeks flushed, and she showed a rare little girl's expression and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good. If you don't believe me, ask the prince!"

"Xiao Liu has good taste and is very suitable for Madam."

Jiang Shuyue: [The prince is so sweet-mouthed, worthy of being Xiao Ran's master.]

The prince smiled awkwardly. He and Xiao Ran had no other relationship except employment. They barely spoke to each other normally. Was it really okay for them to be together?

When Mrs. Yu saw the prince's sad face, she had strange thoughts in her mind.

"Madam Yu Hou, Yuzhou recently experienced a mudslide, and I heard the damage was quite severe."

The Queen suddenly spoke, bringing Madam Yu Hou back to her senses.

Madam Yu Hou respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, after two weeks of continuous heavy rain, two landslides occurred. Fortunately, one is deep in the mountains, and the people in the other were evacuated in advance, so there were no casualties."

"But some farmland has been damaged, and the roads still need to be cleared, which is a bit troublesome."

The Queen nodded and said, "We've been needing a lot of money lately, and the money the Emperor has allocated for disaster relief may not be enough. I have a little gift for you, so I'd like to give it back to the people."

The nanny brought over a box of small gold bars, which weighed about three hundred taels.

Mrs. Yu Hou quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

Jiang Shuyue: [I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Sister Yu's hometown. If there were a bulldozer and a crane, rescue would be much easier.]

Huahua: [Don't even think about it. Even if you have 10,000 Green Tea Points, you can't redeem them!]

Jiang Shuyue: [Why? I can even exchange for elixirs. They're just some machines. Are they more powerful than elixirs?]

Huahua: [This isn't a question of power or incompetence. Elixirs are ancient heritage, studied by later generations. In this era, they're considered relics left behind by our ancestors, while machines are postmodern products. The two have a sequential order in time. Elixirs saving lives also save the descendants of our ancestors, so it also counts as a causal relationship.]

Jiang Shuyue didn't quite understand what she heard, but she understood cause and effect.

I heard that in the past there were cultivators who practiced the law of cause and effect, where a single thought could produce very serious consequences.

Even little goblins like them know that they cannot easily get involved in the cause and effect of others.

Jiang Shuyue: [Can't the law of cause and effect be confused and reversed... Then... I can only wish you the best!]

Madam Yu Hou: ...

Spiritual encouragement...haha, it really sounds like something her stepsister would do.

Huahua: "Actually, what they need most is money. However, there are indeed many major events this year, and the court has many expenses. Although the major families have money, they can't give it to support Marquis Yu. Moreover, this is not a small amount. Even the Zhennan Marquisate can't come up with that much money."

Although Mrs. Yu Hou spoke lightly, the farmland was destroyed and many people were homeless.

Now that the rain has stopped, we still need to dig roads and build bridges, and all kinds of post-disaster reconstruction require money.

Three hundred taels of gold is a lot for daily life, but for a project like this, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Jiang Shuyue: [Getting money from a big family? That doesn't seem difficult!]

She stared at the prince who was wiping Xiao Liu's mouth.

The prince suddenly felt his scalp tingling: "Madam, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think His Royal Highness's handkerchief is quite unique."

Her eyes were shining and she put her head close to the handkerchief.

Prince: ... "Since you like it, I'll have someone bring you a new one."

"No, this one will do. The first time I saw it, I felt a connection with it."

While the prince was distracted, Jiang Shuyue took the handkerchief and gave it to Xiaotao for safekeeping. Then she began to look around to see if there was anything she could take.

Huahua: [Host, you look a bit like a puppy relative who came into the city to plunder.]

Jiang Shuyue: [Don't say that. I'm also doing this for Yuzhou City. The court is short of money right now, so who do you think has the money?]

Huahua: [Do you need to guess? Officials and businessmen.]

Jiang Shuyue: [Whose money is the easiest to make?]

Huahua: [Women and children, wait... you're not thinking? ]

Jiang Shuyue chuckled sinisterly, and a moment later, everyone heard Huahua's sinister laughter again.

Huahua: [Hey, host, you're definitely the one I like. Awesome!]

Jiang Shuyue: [Oh, it's no big deal, it's just a small thing!]

The prince beeped anxiously.

What do you want to do? Tell me quickly! I’m waiting so anxiously!

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the ladies of the household are coming to pay their respects."

"Then we won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave."

Mrs. Yu Hou stood up and saluted, and Jiang Shuyue and Zhou Luming also stood up.

The prince watched them walk further and further away, feeling suffocated and anxious.

Why did he leave before the matter was finally settled?

Jiang Shuyue later went to visit the two imperial concubines. Although she didn't say much, she gained a lot of benefits by relying on the reputation of the Zhou and Liu families.

She shamelessly asked for a few old things that the ladies didn't want anymore.

Xiao Tao held these things and complained quietly: "Miss, our mansion doesn't have anything. Even if we don't have it, we can buy it with money. Why do we have to take other people's old things?"

"You don't understand. It's the used items that are valuable. Look at those rice bowls, brush washers, and pickle jars. Don't they get more valuable the older they get? If you treat these things well, they can become priceless treasures."

Treasure...that's it?

Xiaotao is not bragging, the old clothes that the imperial concubine brought were not made of very expensive materials.

Even she could buy a horse to wear if she gritted her teeth.

"Miss, you don't want to search all the old things in the palace, do you?"

"Do I look like I'm free? Besides, those below the rank of concubine are not famous, so it's useless to search for them."

"Besides, women's appeal is still not as strong as men's. Beautiful women often lose to handsome men. My husband, His Royal Highness Prince Huai, and the Imperial Preceptor all have good appeal."

Xiao Tao hesitated and said, "Miss, you don't want to ask them for it, do you?"

"Yes! Not only that, you also need to help me keep an eye out for any good-looking young men with good reputations. Let's go and look for them."

Xiao Tao held her head and suddenly felt that after tonight, her young lady's life would be over.
