"Princess sister, did you use something just now? Why do you look a little better than before?"
During dinner, Wei Caier blinked her curious eyes and looked at Li Mingyue in front of her. She felt that Li Mingyue suddenly became radiant and her temperament was different.
Li Mingyue replied vaguely, feeling somewhat guilty: "No...nothing, maybe it's because I'm in a good mood."
"Can you become beautiful if you are in a good mood?" Li Xiang was also a little confused as she sat aside.
"Ahem, Confucius said don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping, so hurry up and eat your meal." Lu Chen interrupted the conversation. If they continued chatting like this, who knows what they would come up with.
At this time, Zheng Yourong said, "Brother Lu, I just asked the accountant to count it. We currently have 15 million taels of silver available. If necessary, we can sell off some of our properties and get more."
When they heard that there was more than 10 million taels of silver, everyone looked towards Lu Chen.
This man's method of making money is really terrifying. In less than half a year, he has already earned such a huge fortune.
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "That's almost enough. The Central Bank is a major undertaking that benefits both the country and the people. We can't just be the ones doing the hard work. The merchants at the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce are eagerly waiting to buy some shares in the bank. After the court approves it in a couple of days, I'm sure there will be many people in the capital who will want to buy shares as well."
"Our little money is nothing in the world. Only by mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm can we get things done."
"Brother Lu, if we allow outsiders to invest, will it affect your future plans and layout?" Wei Caier asked worriedly.
Lu Chen had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago. He smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry. These people only have the right to dividends, not the decision-making power. Moreover, the price of each share of the Central Bank will definitely be very high this time, so high that countless people will be deterred!"
"We need to prepare for this. Li Xiang, don't go to the Imperial College tomorrow. Follow me to collect the debt!"
Debt collection?
Li Xiang's eyes lit up instantly. She had heard that debt collectors could bully men and women, and that the Jinyiwei's debt collection methods were excessive. Would she finally be able to see it tomorrow?
At night, Lu Chen resisted some impulses and sent back the reluctant Wei Caier and the delicious Li Mingyue.
As soon as she returned to the princess's mansion, Zhang Guizhi got busy.
"What are you all standing there for? Are you blind? Can't you see Her Royal Highness the Princess is back? Why don't you come over and help her!"
"Go, prepare some hot water. Her Highness the Princess wants to take a bath."
"Call the chef over here. From today on, no cold foods are allowed. If anything happens to Her Highness the Princess, I'll skin him alive!"
"Where's Steward Wu? You're more familiar with the capital. Go find a few midwives and bring them to our Princess's Mansion to be on call at any time!"
"Clean up a clean room, and I'll give it to you later!"
Seeing Zhang Guizhi causing chaos in the Princess Mansion, Li Mingyue's smile grew wider and she said, "Guizhi, that's not the case. It's only the first day, and there's no guarantee you'll get pregnant."
"Your Highness, many things need to be prepared in advance. It will be too late when the problem arises."
"I remember you didn't want Lu Chen to touch me before. Didn't you always keep a close watch on me? What happened now?"
"Oh, my princess, since you've told His Majesty that, you must get pregnant, or you'll be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Besides, I stopped him before because I was afraid that the royal family would blame me if something went wrong. Now it seems that His Majesty is eager for this to happen, so what else can I say?"
In addition, Zhang Guizhi was also serving at the table during dinner today. When she heard Zheng Yourong say that they now had more than 10 million taels of silver, Zhang Guizhi's eyes turned red.
She knew very well that the money was not hers, but Li Mingyue had a share of it.
If Li Mingyue gets pregnant and gives birth to a boy, a large part of the money will belong to this little ancestor.
Now that the eldest princess has a successor, they, the servants, can continue to eat with the eldest princess and enjoy the same happiness with her.
This damn world is in such a mess. If there is someone standing in front to take the lead, the people below will have a chance to survive.
Moreover, Zhang Guizhi also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Lu Chen would have more and more industries and more and more money.
You know, Lu Chen now has four women around him, openly or secretly, and the competition is extremely fierce. She now regrets why she watched him so closely in the first place.
If we had been more lax at the beginning, perhaps the little princess and the little prince would be running around now!
Seeing Zhang Guizhi's nervous look, Li Mingyue's smile became even warmer.
She reached out and touched her flat belly. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that at this moment, a new life was already growing in her body.
This feeling is so good, that sense of happiness fills her whole body. It turns out that this is the life she wants.
Looking at the busy maids and eunuchs around her, and seeing how cautious and nervous everyone was, Li Mingyue looked forward to the birth of the child even more.
She could see that the nervousness of these eunuchs and maids was different from the nervousness they had shown towards her before.
This kind of tension contains less awe and more concern.
"This child is blessed. He has a capable father. You should all take good care of him. Once the child is born, your lives will surely get better! Our princess's mansion is definitely the best place among all these princes and ministers."
Hearing what the princess said, the maids and eunuchs served even more attentively.
The national teacher is naturally a good person, with a good temper and generous.
Since being with the imperial teacher, the eldest princess's temper has improved a lot, and she no longer beats or scolds her servants.
If the young master had such a good temper, God, I really can’t imagine how these servants could live a life like gods.
Therefore, we must ensure that the little master is born smoothly, and all staff in the Princess Mansion are on level one combat readiness alert!
During this period, it was not only the princess's mansion that was on level one combat alert. Many homes of dignitaries were also filled with a suffocatingly tense atmosphere.
The reason is very simple. Lu Chen is back and has started collecting debts. Those who owed him money can now forget about having an easy time.
On this day, Lu Chen brought Li Xiang to a clinic called He Chuntang.
He looked around the layout of the clinic and walked in.
Seeing this, the apprentice who was serving in the clinic hurried over and asked, "Keguan, are you here to see a doctor?"
Lu Chen looked at him and said with a smile, "How is the treatment for injuries here?"
"Then you've come to the right place. We are definitely the best clinic in the entire capital for treating injuries."
"Really? Then I'm relieved! Go ahead, hit me!"
