Chapter 363 The eldest princess, in charge of the national treasury
"..." Xiao Yin and Xiao Yue looked at each other.
They saw the light in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, the brother and sister smiled at each other, and Xiao Yin's mood seemed to be relieved a lot instantly.
Princess Ruoxi became the first eldest princess of Wei who was not born by the emperor. This matter caused quite a stir inside and outside the court, inside and outside the capital.
"I have to say that it is really what everyone wants for this little princess to become the eldest princess!"
"Yes, our eldest princess is smart and powerful. Wherever she goes, the weather is good and she can solve strange cases. It's not a problem for a stone dragon to emerge from the water with our little princess!"
The people all hope that the eldest princess will be fine, and court officials like the Taifu also have confidence in Wei.
After all, the incident of the stone dragon emerging from the water that stirred the people was over before it even started.
Even Yunzhou and Chizhou, the two cities, were already in chaos and out of control.
The docks in Yunzhou had a lot of trade with other countries, which led to frequent incidents, and many banned items from Xiyue kept invading.
And Chizhou was even more difficult to manage.
The Five Elements Clan had been entrenched for a long time, and before there was a big chaos, even His Majesty the Emperor would not have been able to intervene casually.
However, the legends of the Five Elements Clan had long been heard by the people.
Several clan leaders of the Five Elements Clan were corrupt, cruel, and self-proclaimed kings. They didn't care about the lives of the people. The food and salaries allocated every year were all devoured by them. The lower-class
people of the Five Elements Clan, who suffered from floods all year round, would starve to death, drown, and finally get sick every year after the disaster.
There were not many people in the entire Chizhou, and everyone felt that being alive was lucky.
Therefore, the people of Dawei used to hate and despise the Five Elements Clan.
Because of this, they had some complaints about the court
. Now that the Five Elements Clan has been destroyed, the people of Dawei have become more and more confident in the court.
Moreover, everyone knows that the destruction of the Five Elements Clan has a lot to do with Princess Ruoxi.
Therefore, the people in the capital city began to pray at home every day that the little princess would bring them good weather and good harvests.
Baby Ruoxi was eating breakfast, and finally got to eat the rice porridge prepared by Nanny Jin.
Because the baby had grown up a little, Nanny Jin made the rice porridge taste stronger.
This rice porridge with minced meat was so delicious that baby Ruoxi couldn't stop eating it.
"Hey, it would be nice if I could always eat delicious food in the palace in the future. I could do nothing and just be a baby who eats and waits to die. When I grow up, I can find a few lovers. That would be great!"
Baby Ruoxi thought while eating.
She had forgotten that her dear mother and uncle could hear her thoughts.
Thinking of this, she looked up at her mother.
"Xi'er!" Xiao Yue was speechless. Her daughter was carrying the memory of her previous life, which made her laugh and cry.
Outside, Dong Ju came in angrily.
"Humph, those people, if I find out that they are talking nonsense again, I will tear their mouths apart!" Dong Ju said.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yue asked.
"That's right, some people say that His Majesty the Emperor has been deceived and shouldn't indulge the little princess like this. They say that His Majesty the Emperor gave birth to a princess himself and didn't care..." Dong Ju said.
"Yu'er, you are back, it's a good time to clean up the harem!" The Queen Mother came over and said to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue looked at her mother and shook her head and said, "Mother, you should be in charge of the harem. Besides, there is also the empress."
"Yuer, this is the world of our Xiao family. Your brother has been working so hard to manage it over the years. Fortunately, Cixin and Wenxu can help. The tutor is also very loyal. However, they can't reach the harem. Mother is old and can't worry about these things. So, you should help your brother!" said the queen mother.
"Mother, this..." Xiao Yue wanted to say that she couldn't manage her brother's harem.
Since ancient times, there has never been a married sister-in-law who came to manage her mother's family affairs.
"You know a lot about the empress's affairs, so do you think it's appropriate to hand over the harem to her?" The queen mother took a sip of tea and asked.
"Mother, what the Empress Dowager said does make sense. This harem belongs to us, the Xiao family, anyway. Why should we give it to them? Moreover, those children are not good people. The real bad one is Huang Guan, the son of Huang Lide!"
Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother with a firm look.
Xiaoyue nodded, and understood.
"Emperor, what do you think?" Seeing the emperor asking Eunuch Gao about the situation in Kunning Palace outside, the Queen Mother turned around and shouted, asking.
Xiao Yin turned around and walked in. He looked at Xiao Yue and said, "I just don't know if Yue'er is willing. My royal brother wants you to help me manage the treasury!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yue frowned slightly: "This treasury is not easy to manage. If my royal brother lets me manage it, you have to think about it. I will definitely use drastic measures!"
"Really?" Xiao Yin looked at Xiao Yue, his expression full of smiles: "This is what I've been waiting for Yue'er to say. Thunderous measures are exactly what my royal brother needs. You can go to court with my royal brother tomorrow!" "
I won't go to the court. I have to look at the accounts in the treasury for months. So, my royal brother, you just need to send me a few masters to protect me. Also, help me raise Xi'er and Lin'er!" Xiao Yue said.
"No problem. Xi'er will grow up by my side in the future, and Lin'er will be raised by our mother. No matter what happens, no one will hurt them!" Xiao Yin said.
"There may be some complaints inside and outside the court, Yue'er, don't be afraid. As long as you make achievements, you will be able to shut their mouths!" The Queen Mother also said.
Baby Ruoxi looked at the Queen Mother, then at the Emperor, and finally she grinned at them.
"Uncle Emperor is such a good emperor, and mother is also a courageous mother. That's great!" Baby Ruoxi thought.
Xiao Yin was praised, and proudly raised his head slightly, and said: "I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draft an imperial edict, and I will read it to those old guys at the morning court tomorrow!"
"Brother, don't you need to discuss it with them?" Xiao Yue asked.
"If we discuss it, most of the old guys will disagree. I will make the decision for them!" Xiao Yin said.
"Okay, then I will wait for the title!" Xiao Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, the wealth of my Xiao family will only increase in my hands, and it will never decrease!" The Queen Mother nodded and said, "
At this time, we should focus on the overall situation, for the world and for the people. How can we distinguish between men and women?"
