Chapter 1318 There is a Prince
Qiao Xuan was not afraid of people saying she was a jealous woman, but she was also a little afraid that she couldn't explain it.
I had to cancel this short-term plan with regret, and go again before the New Year after all the things are settled.
Shao Yunduan couldn't help laughing when he saw her look of regret and disappointment. He gently pinched her face and smiled softly, "Don't worry, after this busy period, I will definitely accompany you on a trip before the New Year. It's a good time to see the scenery of Jiangnan in late autumn and early winter. If it's fast, we should be able to set off in late autumn."
Qiao Xuan was happy again, "That's great! The south of the Yangtze River in late autumn and early winter must have a different kind of scenery!"
If nothing else, there should be enough big crabs!
Qiao Xuan was a little worried about whether there would be any changes. It was not easy for civil servants to ask for leave these days. It was even more difficult to leave the capital.
Shao Yunduan is a popular figure valued by the Eastern Palace. If one is not careful, people may suspect whether he is going south to contact local officials or to win people's hearts, etc. There are too many things that people can associate with.
Qiao Xuan was a little hesitant, so she pulled Shao Yunduan's sleeve and looked up and said, "How about, my husband, don't go. I'll go by myself! Just like I did before when I went home, I can say that I went to the nunnery to eat vegetarian food and pray for blessings, and I will be back in a while!"
"It would be better if no one asked. There would be no need to make excuses."
She is not a big shot, and even if she disappears for a month or two, to be honest, no one would ask about her.
The only one who cares about her is her husband.
How could Shao Yunduan agree to that?
Since they can be together, they should be together. If they have no choice, he doesn't want to leave his wife at all, especially in such weather. If he returns to his room alone at night, it will be so uncomfortable. Of course, it is better to have his wife by his side. When the two of them are together, even if they do nothing but hug each other to sleep, they can sleep more peacefully.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you and the prince will definitely make arrangements for us. There are a lot of errands to go south before the New Year, and we can always get one."
Qiao Xuan was startled, and tapped her forehead before suddenly realizing, "I'm not confused! I actually forgot about this!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Yes, before the New Year I went to the south of the Yangtze River to collect some money, which was just the right amount to give to the prince.
Every household has to spend a lot of money before the New Year, and the East Palace is no exception.
Every year when the New Year comes, the East Palace starts to worry and make all kinds of careful calculations. Sometimes, they even have to secretly rob Peter to repair Paul. Life is so miserable that no one would believe it if they told others about it!
It's not that the emperor doesn't know how to give rewards, but the rewards are all kinds of rare antiques, clothing materials, brocades, and tributes from all over the country. There is only one thousand taels of silver, how can it be enough?
The Eastern Palace had to maintain its dignity, but it couldn't be pawned or sold off. Otherwise, how would the Crown Prince save his face if the news got out? Impeachment memorials flew onto his father's desk like snowflakes.
Shao Yunduan has secretly handed over 350,000 taels of silver to the Eastern Palace this year. The prince now has a lot of money on hand, and many things that he couldn't do before can now be done easily.
The prince was very pleased.
Now that it was the end of the year, if Shao Yunduan just hinted that he wanted to go south to make money, the prince would definitely make arrangements for him.
After all, who would want to live a tight life when they can live a comfortable life?
