Chapter 606 Giving No Chance

Emperor Ming said, "I will assign several palace maids to accompany Ling'er. Prince Jin, you don't need to worry about her anymore."

After a pause, Emperor Ming added, "There are many affairs in the capital now, and the third prince is not making any progress. You and the fourth prince should share my burdens."

Upon hearing the word "political affairs," Prince Jin's eyes lit up, and he temporarily put Yuwen Ling's matter out of his mind.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Since Father has said so, then I will naturally go and share Father's burdens for the time being."

Since Emperor Ming did not intend to neglect him, it was enough to show that the matter of Xuanxu had not implicated him.

Emperor Ming may not even have discovered Yuwen Ling's true identity yet!

Thinking this, a glimmer of hope rekindled in the heart of the Prince of Jin.

That day, Yuwen Ling was personally escorted by Eunuch Su to the Ling Prince's residence.

Jiang Ning settled her in a quiet courtyard, the same courtyard where Liu Qingci had stayed before.

Two palace maids accompanied him, responsible for taking care of Yuwen Ling's daily needs.

Butler Lan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness and Your Highness, we don't have many maids in our household, and the Sixth Princess is bedridden and unconscious. Wouldn't it be a bit too much for these two palace maids to take care of her? Perhaps I could go out and buy a few more maids, which would make things more convenient."

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "No need. I'll go to the Jiang residence and have Aunt Lu and the others come over to help for a few days."

After treatment, the blood clot at the back of Yuwen Ling's head has shrunk considerably. Once the blood clot is completely dissolved, Yuwen Ling will naturally wake up.

According to her estimate, Yuwen Ling will definitely wake up within a month.

If I'm lucky, I might wake up in half a month.

Jia asked respectfully, "Your Highness, isn't Mama Lu busy with matters at Yunxia Tower? Is she free to help there?"

Since returning to the capital, Jiang Ning has been busy with palace affairs and hasn't even had a chance to visit Yunxia Tower.

However, Xia He did make a trip there and, upon returning, informed her of the situation at Yunxia Tower.

Jiang Ning said, "Mother Lu is very capable and reliable. The four sisters, Chunxiaqiudong, are also clever and capable, and they are all useful people."

"As for Yunxia Tower, they have trained many new people, and they are now quite adept at their work, so the steward need not worry too much."

Only then was Butler Lan relieved.

She smiled and looked at Jiang Ning, saying, "Your Highness, when you moved out of the palace, we were so worried that you would never come back. Now that you're finally back, please don't mention moving out again."

Jiang Ning looked at Yuwen Jue with a half-smile and said, "Whether I will move out in the future depends on his behavior."

Yuwen Jue raised an eyebrow, a smile flashing across his handsome face.

He smiled and assured her repeatedly, "Don't worry, Ningning, I will never let you down, and I will never make you angry!"

He paused, then added, "Even if I accidentally angered you that day, you could have just kicked me out. Why did you have to run away from home yourself?"

Jiang Ning rubbed her forehead and said with a smile, "That makes sense. Next time, I'll make sure you get out of here."

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, looking relaxed and happy, Butler Lan felt even more comforted.

He reminded her, "Your Highness, Your Highness, we are now truly a family. The young master is also growing up. Why not have another child while this old servant can still take care of him? It will be more lively with more people in our manor in the future, won't it?"

When Butler Lan suddenly urged her to have a baby, Jiang Ning blushed.

Her eyes flickered, unsure how to respond.

To be precise, this was the first time she had been pressured to have a child.

Noticing Jiang Ning's embarrassment, Yuwen Jue coughed lightly and said, "Butler Lan, there's no need to rush. We already have Xiao Bao. As for the future, if Ning Ning wants to have another child, we can. If not, one is enough."

Jiang Ning looked at Yuwen Jue in surprise, somewhat incredulous.

In ancient times, the idea was that the more children the better, especially since Yuwen Jue held a high position and probably longed for his own bloodline even more.

Now, the fact that he could say such things for her and Xiaobao'er is both surprising and touching.

Butler Lan smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. Since Your Highness and Princess have their own plans, then this old servant will not urge them."

After Butler Lan left, Jiang Ning looked at Yuwen Jue with a flickering gaze and mixed feelings.

"Do you really think we can do without other children?"

Yuwen Jue raised an eyebrow, his handsome face, with its sharp features, full of tenderness and doting affection.

"Of course, having you by my side is my greatest wish. As for the children, they are just icing on the cake."

He wants Jiang Ning; if Jiang Ning doesn't want a child, then they shouldn't have one.

Children aren't necessarily good people either, like Yuwen Mo... and his brothers who were vying for power.

Jiang Ning's eyes flickered, but her heart was filled with tenderness and gratitude.

"Your thinking is becoming more and more open-minded."

Yuwen Jue gently pinched the tip of her nose, smiling indulgently, and said, "How can I keep up with you if I don't open up? What if you start to dislike me one day?"

Jiang Ning blushed and slapped his hand away.

The following morning, Jiang Ning personally went to Yunxia Tower.

In the early morning, there weren't many guests at Yunxia Tower. Mama Lu was leading everyone in taking stock of the accounts and goods.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning arrive, he was immediately delighted and bowed respectfully.

"This servant greets Your Highness, the Princess."

Jiang Ning and Yuwen Jue reconciled and moved back to the Lingwang Mansion.

Although they already knew, Jiang Ning was too busy to visit the Ling Prince's residence.

Jiang Ning nodded and had Xia He help everyone up.

"Aunt Lu, how have you been lately? How's business at Yunxia Tower? Has anyone come to cause trouble?"

Madam Lu smiled and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, we are all doing well. As for Yunxia Tower, business is booming and thriving. Many wealthy merchants from other places have come to the capital to explore the possibility of opening a branch with us. I was just thinking of finding a time to talk to you about it in person."

Chunxue said excitedly, "Your Highness, our Yunxia Tower is backed by the Ling Prince's Mansion, who would dare to cause trouble?"

Qiu Yue was also proud: "Although you and the Prince have not been in the capital during this time, Consort Tan often comes over, and Steward Lan often brings guards to check on us. No one dares to touch us."

Dongye stood to one side and nodded obediently.

"Your Highness, everything is fine here. We just haven't dared to agree to open a branch yet. We'll wait for you to return before making a decision."

Jiang Ning nodded and pondered, "The idea of ​​a branch is feasible, but I'm quite busy right now, and I don't know if I can manage it."

Madam Lu patted her chest and said, "You're too busy, but we're here for you, aren't we? You give us such a high monthly allowance precisely so that we can share your burdens, right?"

Spring Snow and Autumn Moon and the others nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, if you are willing to open a branch, you can naturally leave these matters to us! We will definitely take care of everything for you!"

After two months of training, they have all grown a lot.

Jiang Ning looked at them with a smile, "Of course I believe in your abilities, otherwise I wouldn't have let you manage Yunxia Tower in the first place."

When Lu's mother got down to business, she took out a thick stack of account books and handed them to Jiang Ning.

"Your Highness, please take a look. These are the income records and detailed accounts for the past two months."

Jiang Ning took the ledger and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Lu has a very good bookkeeping system. Her books are organized and clear. She keeps detailed records of everything, including net income, costs, interest, and labor expenses. It is quite pleasant and comfortable to read.

Jiang Ning read ten lines at a glance and understood it perfectly.

In the past two months, Yunxia Tower has earned a total of 100,000 taels of silver, a considerable income.
