Chapter 533 Murong Li's Tenderness
On the other side, Yueying drove the carriage slowly and steadily, and it took an hour to return to Prince Li's Mansion.
"Princess, let me help you go back."
As soon as they entered the palace, Hongye happily wanted to help Su Yue.
Su Yue glared at her and whispered to her, "Have you forgotten what I told you in the carriage?"
This girl has no memory at all. She is only more than a month pregnant and the fetus is not even firmly seated. There are so many people eyeing Prince Li's Mansion, but she wants to make it known to everyone, for fear that she will attract people with bad intentions.
"oh."
Hongye reacted instantly, let go of Su Yue's hand immediately, and followed her, but still looked at her nervously.
Su Yue shook her head. It seemed that she should stay in the mansion for the time being. The girl's behavior was like she was telling everyone that she was pregnant, and then everyone would come to harm her. She would never be able to live a peaceful life then.
As soon as she returned to Lingxiao Courtyard, she saw Hongyu sitting alone in the yard with a sad face and sighing. Only when she saw Master Su Yue coming back did she force a smile and come to greet her.
"Princess, you are back."
Su Yue pinched her and forced a smile, looking pitiful. She asked, "What happened? Did the Imperial Concubine give you a hard time?"
Hongyu bit her lip and said, "Princess, I did what you asked, but the ladies in the palace all said that you were withholding their allowances. They even went to the Emperor to complain. The Emperor called me in and reprimanded me, saying that I was being unreasonable and ordered me to restore their allowances."
Hongyu felt aggrieved and sorry for Su Yue. The princess was thinking about the emperor, but the emperor didn't think so. He thought that the princess was deliberately mistreating those concubines.
In fact, the expenses of those concubines are simply not enough. It is a pure waste. I don’t know what the emperor is thinking.
Su Yue patted her and said, "Don't feel wronged. Just follow the expenses arranged by me. If anyone is dissatisfied, let her come to me and I will make the decision for you.
As for the Emperor, let your prince give him a lecture tomorrow."
He thought that he was very rich because one million taels of gold had entered the national treasury, so he started to waste money lavishly. If the emperor could do this, she would not let him do that.
With Su Yue's support, Hongyu's grievances disappeared immediately. She nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Princess. With you and me backing me, I won't be afraid of them."
Su Yue smiled and said, "That's all right. You can do whatever you need to do now. I'm a little tired and I'm going to rest first."
Hongyu nodded, and followed Hongye to help Su Yue go to sleep.
Su Yue slept until night and when she opened her eyes, she saw Murong Li looking at her gently.
"Yuer, are you awake?"
Murong Li's voice, as gentle as water, sounded.
Su Yue's whole body suddenly became covered with goosebumps. She blinked her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
Or was Murong Li possessed by a ghost? She reached out and touched his face. When she touched the warm cheek, she knew it was not an illusion.
Su Yue asked: "Why do you talk like that?"
Murong Li grabbed her hand, stroked it gently, and said softly, "Yuer, I know everything."
Su Yue was still a little confused, "What did you know?"
Murong Li looked at her cute appearance, which was very adorable. He kissed her on the lips, reached out and gently stroked her abdomen, saying, "Our child is here."
Murong Li didn't expect Yue'er to give him such a big surprise, and he was very happy.
When Hongye told him this, he was stunned. He ran into the bedroom and looked at the sleeping Su Yue. He wanted to hug her, but he thought of his stiff bones and was afraid of hurting her, so he had to sit by the bed and look at her, without even eating dinner.
He wanted Yue'er to see him as soon as she opened her eyes.
Su Yue's mind suddenly came back to her senses, and she remembered that she was pregnant. She had just been in a daze and had forgotten about it.
She glared at Murong Li and said, "Don't be so rude to me now."
Whenever she mentioned that she didn't want to have children, Murong Li would say it was okay, but he actually cared a lot and even got angry with her.
Now that it was as he wished, he became so gentle, more gentle than ever before.
It is true that no matter how close a wife is to him, she is not as close as a child. She is just a tool for him to give birth to children.
Su Yue's mood suddenly turned bad.
Murong Li chuckled twice: "When have I ever been angry with Yue'er?"
Still quibbling, Su Yue snorted in her heart. She didn't take a picture of him with her mobile phone when he was angry, so where did the evidence come from?
"Are you hungry, Yue'er? Dinner has already been prepared for you."
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Murong Li quickly coaxed her.
Su Yue touched her stomach and indeed felt a little hungry, so she nodded.
Murong Li was delighted and immediately ordered, "Hongye Hongyu, serve the meal."
After he said that, he personally helped Su Yue get up. His cautious look made Su Yue really unable to bear to watch.
It was rare for Murong Li to treat her so gently, and Su Yue naturally enjoyed it.
"Tell your father tomorrow that the expenses of the ladies in his harem should be based on my rules. Don't think that just because there is a little gold in the national treasury, it can be used as money." Su Yue said in a bad tone.
Murong Li put her clothes on and put on her shoes himself before saying, "Don't worry about this, Yue'er. I've already taken care of it."
He was there when the emperor called Hongyu to reprimand her. After Hongyu left, he started to scold the emperor until his face turned the color of pig liver.
The couple had worked so hard to replenish the national treasury with some money, how could they waste it like this?
The emperor said angrily, "You haven't even become emperor yet, and you don't take me seriously. Those concubines are pregnant with my children now. What's wrong with giving your brothers and sisters more money?"
Murong Li said calmly, "Your Majesty, you wouldn't think that you are rich just because you have one million taels of gold in the treasury. Have you ever thought about whether the kingdom you gave me is stable? If you want a stable kingdom, you need people and money to support it.
Let’s not talk about the attitude of other countries towards Xifeng Kingdom. Let’s just take Xifeng Kingdom as an example. Are the four major families and the royal relatives behaving well? Maybe they will rise up in rebellion one day. If the national treasury is empty at that time, what can I use to fight them?
Also, Xifeng Kingdom now needs construction everywhere, especially water conservancy projects. Some places are flooded, and some places are dry. Don’t these require money to dredge the water in the flooded areas and divert the water to the dry areas? Such a major event that benefits the country and the people is more important than the expenses of the concubines in your harem.
Besides, we are not mistreating them, we are just adjusting their expenses to return them to normal times."
