"Who is Hua Yingzhou?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.

Gu Xinglang said: "He is Hua Fei's father, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army."

The commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army, Yu Xiaoxiao smacked her lips, sounding very awesome. "So, I brought home the pocket money that Father Hua gave to Concubine Hua?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked her little Gu again.

Gu Xinglang...

Everyone was thinking together, and it seemed to be the case.

"Then should I return the money?" When Yu Xiao said this, her whole body ached. Forty thousand taels!

Gu Xinglang was also jealous when he looked at the three silver notes, as he was worried about money at that time.

At this time, Nanny Wang said, "No need to return it."

Huh? Yu Xiaoxiao was very surprised. She didn't expect that this fat aunt was interested in the business of robbing money.

Nanny Wang said, "It's fine for a foreign minister to send small items to the palace, but sending money, gold, silver and jewelry, does this mean he doubts that the royal family can't support his daughter?"

Yu Xiao: "What do you mean?"

Nanny Wang said in a resounding voice: "Sending money into the palace privately is a capital crime!"

"Oh my god," Yu Xiao said, "I saved Hua Fei's life?"

"Of course," Nanny Wang said, "If it weren't for the princess, and the emperor knew that Marshal Hua secretly sent money to the palace to give to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua would definitely be sentenced to death, and his Hua family would not be able to escape the punishment either."

Yu Xiaoxiao felt that she was a really good person. She could save the lives of Hua Fei's family by just picking up a bag of melon seeds. Her character of savior needed no explanation.

But among the people present, even Xiaozhuang knew that Nanny Wang was talking nonsense. If the princess didn't run to get some melon seeds, how could the 40,000 taels of silver sent by Marshal Hua be discovered? Didn't you see how much effort the Hua family put into sending this money?

Nanny Wang looked at the embroidered bag in her hand, laughed, and said, "The Hua family really put a lot of thought into it. It's impossible for the imperial guards to pour the melon seeds out of the bag for inspection during a search. Every year, the Hua family sends Empress Hua roasted melon seeds from the southwest. It seems that the money is in these melon seeds every year."

Yu Xiao: "Mammy, the melon seeds are delicious. Xiao Wei and I ate them."

Nanny Wang ignored her own princess and continued to talk to herself: "I have already told the Queen that everything the Hua family sends to the palace must be carefully checked. This Concubine Hua..."

Nanny Wang didn’t say anything else, but everyone except Yu Xiaoxiao understood that the two words after Nanny were “bitch”.

Yu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t quite understand why a father couldn’t give his daughter pocket money, but this money didn’t need to be sent back. Yu Xiaoxiao was satisfied with it.

Xiaozhuang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao with admiration and said, "Princess, you are amazing."

Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "I just saw a pile of melon seeds on the table, about 20 or 30 bags."

Xiao Zhuang said, "Princess, you should take more."

Xiao Wei couldn't stand listening to such stupid talk anymore, and said, "It's already rare for Hua Yingzhou to give Concubine Hua 40,000 taels every year. How many taels do you think he can give to Concubine Hua every year?"

Xiao Zhuang asked, "How did you get this bag, Princess?"

"Haha," Yu Xiao said, "I just picked up a bag. I thought if I only took one bag, the people in the palace wouldn't notice. Besides, I don't really like eating melon seeds. I like eating peanuts."

Everyone could only remain silent in response to Her Royal Highness the Princess' words.

Xiao Wei said, "Empress Hua will be so angry that she will die."

Gu Xinglang looked at Yu Xiao and asked, "Do you like peanuts?"

"Yeah," Yu Xiao said, "Fried peanuts are my favorite."

Gu Xinglang quickly said, "Then we'll ask the kitchen to do it tomorrow."

"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao was even happier. She pulled Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "Xiao Gu, what do you like to eat?"

Gu Xinglang thought about it and realized that he would eat anything that was edible. It seemed that he didn't have any special favorite food, so Third Young Master Gu said, "Whatever the princess likes, I like."

Look, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Wang proudly, she and Xiao Gu are a perfect match!

Seeing the Prince Consort and the Princess being so affectionate, Xiao Wei had to ask, "Prince Consort, what about the money?"

Xiaozhuang said, "Deposit it in the bank."

Yu Xiaoxiao said without thinking, "Give it to Big Brother. Didn't Old Wu and his family have no land and no money to eat? Let Big Brother use the money to buy them some land."

Gu Xinglang said, "Princess, do you really want to give this money to Big Brother?"

Nanny Wang coughed desperately.

Yu Xiaoxiao poured a glass of water for Nanny Wang and said, "Nanny, drink some water."

Nanny Wang then fell into despair.

Xiao Wei said, "Who is Lao Wu?" They have to give away the money before it's even warmed up to them?

Yu Xiaoxiao repeated to Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei what Xiaofeng had said to her, "How can we do this without money to eat?" Yu Xiaoxiao slapped the table and said, "They are all retired veterans. How can we let them bleed and cry?"

Xiao Wei's mouth twitched. He couldn't let the old soldiers bleed and cry, but it was not his princess' turn to pay for it, right?

Gu Xinglang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao for a long time without saying anything.

Nanny Wang looked at the Third Young Master's attitude, raised her head and rolled her eyes, then called Xiaozhuang, Xiaowei, and Xiaofeng to go out with her.

There was no one else in the bedroom, so Gu Xinglang leaned forward and kissed Yu Xiaoxiao's lips hard.

"Woo," Yu Xiaoxiao is not a shy person. Since her little Gu wants to give her a kiss, she will accompany him.

Gu Xinglang kissed Yu Xiaoxiao for a long time, and then hugged Yu Xiaoxiao in his arms.

Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, are you very happy?"

Gu Xinglang whispered: "Xiaoxiao, thank you."

"For forty thousand taels?"

"Um."

"I'm just like you. I won't watch Lao Wu and the others starve to death."

"I know."

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, I'm awesome, right?"

Yes, where can he find another person like his wife? Gu Xinglang smelled the fragrance of Yu Xiaoxiao's hair and responded, "My Xiaoxiao is the best."

Yu Xiaoxiao's smile faded slowly after hearing what Gu Xinglang said. Gu Xinglang was the second person to say this to her. The person who used to say this to her was separated from her by time and space. The distance was too far, and no matter how hard they tried, they would never meet again.

"Xiaoxiao," Gu Xinglang couldn't see Yu Xiaoxiao's expression, but he still held Yu Xiaoxiao and whispered her name.

Yu Xiaoxiao's sadness came and went quickly. She rubbed her head on Gu Xinglang's shoulder and said, "I'm here."

At this time, Nanny Wang said to Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei outside the door, "One of you two should go and ask the young master to come over."

Xiao Wei said, "Mammy, the eldest master is injured."

Nanny Wang said unhappily, "Injured? The princess got this money from Concubine Hua. Do you think you can talk about this in the young master's room?"

Xiao Zhuang twisted his mouth and muttered, "Anyway, this money was used by Concubine Hua to do bad things, so our princess didn't steal it."

Nanny Wang hit Xiaozhuang hard on the head and said angrily, "If you can't speak, just shut up!"
