Tao Yuwei enjoyed the snacks in her hand.
Hearing Fang's words, she suppressed her excitement and spoke slowly, "The Imperial Guard is His Majesty's personal guard. The commander of the Imperial Guard is the Emperor's uncle. It's useless for my father to come forward for such an important position, unless this princess brings a generous gift to meet the Emperor's uncle."
Tao Yuwei was very happy that the original owner had a backer. It was because of this powerful backer that she was able to be so arrogant and domineering in the capital and had the capital to act so arrogantly.
Her biggest backer was Emperor Jianchang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Dexin.
Two years ago, when the original owner was ten years old, his father Tao Zhihong was fighting fiercely with the northern barbarians in the northern border, and the war was very tense.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, in order to show his favor, Emperor Jianchang specially asked his personal eunuch to go to the General's Mansion to announce the decree and lead Fang and the first wife's family into the palace to attend the night banquet.
That night, a group of disguised northern barbarians sneaked into the palace and assassinated Emperor Jianchang. The original owner didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky, but he actually blocked the most crucial sword for the emperor in the chaos. The original owner was seriously injured and almost died.
A few days later, Father Tao Zhihong defeated the northern barbarians and drove them out of the Qilian Mountains, achieving a great victory. His Majesty was very pleased.
When Tao Zhihong returned to the court, he handed over the military order and used his military merits to exchange for the title of princess for the original owner.
After the original owner regained consciousness and recovered his health, Emperor Jianchang's favor towards the original owner was shown to everyone.
The emperor often summoned her to the palace to play with his princes and princesses.
What's more, he treated her better than the princes and princesses, and often issued imperial decrees to reward her.
When Fang heard what Tao Yuwei said, a look of surprise flashed across her face.
"Yuwei, since you're so willing, I'm sorry to bother you with your eldest cousin's matter."
It was rare for Fang to be nice to Tao Yuwei.
Sun laughed heartily and praised Tao Yuwei for being sensible and filial.
"Sister Yuwei, thank you for running for me. When I join the Imperial Guard, I will definitely help you speak well of him in front of Prince Yong."
Tao Yuwei's mouth twitched after hearing this. She learned from the original owner's memory that the Prince of Yong was the person the original owner had a crush on, and she had no interest in him.
She is only twelve years old and has plenty of youth to try all the delicious food in Beijing and enjoy life. There is no such thing as liking men.
"You can let me help, but you can't ask me to pay. I believe the old lady and the second aunt have already prepared the banknotes for the bribe, right?"
Tao Yuwei pretended to be embarrassed and continued, "A gift to the uncle of the emperor must be at least 50,000 taels of silver! Otherwise, how could I possibly afford it?"
Fang and the people from the second house all put away their smiles stiffly, and their faces turned ugly.
"Yuwei, how can you afford so much money? Why don't you ask the uncle for help first? We can talk about it after the matter is done."
Fang had already made up her mind.
She will not pay this money. After the little bitch has completed the operation and her eldest grandson successfully enters the palace to serve, she will not take care of the rest and let the little bitch deal with the king's uncle on her own.
Tao Yuwei sneered in her heart, what, you can't think of anything yet you want to pay and still want to get the position of the Royal Guard for free? You want beauty.
[Want to join the Imperial Guard and harm the first wife? Dream on!]
"You don't want me to pay for this, do you? Dad spent a lot of money to help Second Uncle get a position last time. I don't have any money on hand if you want my help. If you don't have money, forget it. I don't want to humble myself and ask the uncle of the emperor for help."
Tao Yuwei impatiently threw down the cake in her hand and stood up to leave. Sun, who was unable to hold her back, hurriedly grabbed her.
"Yuwei, look at what you said. How can I let you pay this money? It's a considerable amount. How about I give you a part of it first, and then I will try to raise the rest of the money after the matter is settled?"
The little bitch really dares to ask for such a high price, saying that she has no money. In the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the eldest wife is the richest.
Once things are done, the eldest wife will pay the rest.
Tao Yuwei forcefully pushed Sun away and shook her head unkindly, "I can't do anything. Please seek help from someone else!"
"Dad, Mom, let's go. I'm still hungry." Tao Yuwei called the couple from the eldest house and walked out quickly.
"Come back! The second house will pay for this money." When Fang saw the first house's family walking out of the door, she hurriedly restrained her thoughts and called Tao Yuwei and the others.
When she left Songmingtang again, Tao Yuwei had an extra 50,000 taels of silver in her hand.
Looking at their daughter's sparkling expression as she held the banknotes, Tao Zhihong and Wu realized that their daughter was actually a money-grubber.
"Yuwei, do you really want to help your eldest cousin find a job?" Knowing that his eldest cousin had bad intentions after getting the job, Tao Zhihong was very curious about what his daughter would do.
Tao Yuwei carefully put away a dozen banknotes and strode towards her yard with a smile.
"I will do my best to help my eldest cousin succeed."
[I wanted to collude with the male protagonist, so I broke his plan first. 】
Looking at his daughter's back as she disappeared in the yard, Tao Zhihong narrowed his bright eyes.
The male protagonist? Who is the girl talking about? Is it the Sixth Prince, King Han?
Mrs. Wu watched her daughter leave with a complicated look. She pulled her husband back to her yard to discuss things.
Not long after, everyone else in the mansion knew that Tao Yuwei had taken people away from the general's mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Tao Yuwei looked out the window at the bustling streets along the way with a happy mood, and asked which restaurant had delicious food.
The head maid sat next to her and introduced to her what the shops they passed by sold and told her which ones had the best food.
Whenever Tao Yuwei wanted to eat something, she would ask the driver to stop and arrange for someone to get off the car to buy it.
She didn't get off the car all the way, and kept eating, enjoying the various delicacies she had packed up.
The carriage suddenly stopped and was blocked by someone halfway.
The Sixth Prince Xiao Yangyao stood in front of the carriage in an elegant outfit, silently gazing at the carriage in front of him with deeply affectionate eyes.
He politely said to the coachman of the General Guarding the Nation's Mansion, "Please inform me that I would like to see your princess."
By stopping his daughter's carriage in the street, King Han was afraid that others would not know his feelings for the princess.
Everyone in the mansion knows that the last time King Han proposed to the young lady, he was driven out by the master.
The coachman had served under Tao Zhihong for many years. Later, he was injured on the battlefield. After retiring, he got a job as a coachman in the general's mansion.
They knew very well that their general did not want to get close to the princes.
The driver bowed in return, "Your Highness, King Han, my young lady has important matters to attend to. It is inconvenient for us to meet here. Please make way."
Even a small coachman could put on a reluctant look and refuse his request. Xiao Yangyao's gentle eyes flashed with a fierce look, "Could it be that your princess is still angry about what happened between her and me the other day?"
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince of Han has brought some men to stop in front of your car and wants to see you." The Prince of Han was so shameless that he actually dared to mention what happened in the general's mansion that day.
The coachman helplessly told the master in the carriage.
How shameless! He actually wanted to slander the princess's reputation in public.
Tao Yuwei's good mood disappeared, she pulled open the car curtain and looked outside.
In a roadside teahouse, someone saw King Han stopping the car.
