Chapter 240 The King of Zheng's Beauties



Princess Yongjia was once the first princess of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

Although Princess Huayang was more favored, Princess Yongjia was the legitimate daughter of the emperor!

Although she was born out of wedlock, she was made a legitimate daughter when she was granted the title of princess, and her legitimate status ends today.

That's why Princess Yongjia looks especially dashing today.

Although Princess Yongmu didn't come, even if she had, she wouldn't be as good as her.

Princess Changning and Princess Guangning didn't come today either, which is inappropriate; they should come in at least a few days.

Princess Yongjia was bold enough to bring a large group of people with her!

It wasn't just about watching the Crown Princess shake the ginkgo nuts; each person also had a basketful of tasks.

Di Baose said confidently to Princess Yongjia, "Based on your number of people..."

Princess Yongjia wasn't stupid either. She told the palace maids, "Two taels of silver for one basket."

The palace maids glanced at the princess but dared not. The Empress must have had a reason for sending them to pick ginkgo nuts; it wasn't to let Princess Yongjia flaunt her wealth.

Princess Yongjia couldn't afford to get angry today, lest she walk out in a huff. So she retorted, "A basket of five taels of silver, whatever the amount, is acceptable."

Huan Yue climbed down from the tree, covered in sweat.

Seeing the group of palace maids acting foolishly, she cleverly said, "It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. A basket weighing five taels, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor?"

Di Baose didn't lift a finger, but the person in charge shouted, "Princess, why aren't you moving the silver? Do you even know how much is on the ground?"

Guo Bing was quite bold: "Princess Yongjia probably doesn't know."

Huan Yue said, "It's just for fun. If the princess doesn't have that much money, then forget it."

When the empress spoke, the palace maids quickly expressed their gratitude and picked up the ginkgo nuts with even greater joy.

They're everywhere; a quarter of an hour is enough to fill a basket.

Or maybe you can collect forty taels of silver in an hour? That's incredible!

Several palace maids picked them up while urging the Empress with their eyes, "Hurry up and shake more!"

Anyway, they were almost all ripe, so piling them up for fermentation wasn't too much work. After that, you rubbed them by hand or with a washboard, and then rinsed off the peels with running water, the kind that comes from the palace. Then you took the clean ginkgo nuts out and let them dry.

If we pick up two hours today, that's eighty taels of silver!

Even if you just run up to Sheng'an and shout it out, countless people will rush to do it!

The common people of Sheng'an earn about a hundred or eighty taels of silver a year. Therefore, everyone's gratitude is genuine, and they work very happily.

Huan Yue was sweating, but not tired. He was really going all out for the palace maids.

She swayed in the tree, while a group of palace maids busied themselves earning money below. Anyway, they had headscarves and were dressed in thick clothes, so they weren't afraid of being hit by ginkgo nuts.

Now that Princess Yongjia had spoken, she wasn't about to back down. She had the money! Go and get it!

A group of eunuchs all wanted to pick it up!

We had no choice but to bring in silver; we brought in three thousand taels and put them here.

Wang Chuyuan was speechless.

She took care of herself, but using a cloth to wrap her hands, she carefully picked up a basketful, which wasn't too difficult.

Having completed her task, she stayed to the side, though she was a little hungry.

Seeing Gong Zhaoxun, Ren Zhaoxun, and the others happily picking through the baskets, Yu Anu followed suit. Picking a few baskets and earning some pocket money—not bad! Isn't it a fact that they're not as rich as the princess?

Several female officials and eunuchs were calculating on the side.

After Huan Yue finished walking around, he went inside to change his clothes.

Pei Huanying and Pei Huanfeng were dumbfounded when they saw this from outside.

It's impossible to talk to Huan Yue, and if I try to pretend, no one will listen.

The people in the Eastern Palace are particularly uncouth. Except for Guo Bing, who always stands there aloof, occasionally glancing at them.

But Guo Bing is not someone to be trifled with; she has a strong background, exceptional talent, and outstanding looks.

Pei Huanying tried to approach, but received a cold look in return.

When Di Baose saw it, he laughed so hard he bent over!

Seeing her acting crazy, Mrs. Sun felt a headache coming on.

Di Baose was so happy that she slapped Pei Huanying.

Wait, she seems to have forgotten. Pei Huanying is after Prince Peng? Then Miss Huai's visit to Prince Qi's residence must have been just as lively, right?

Pei Huanying was stunned by the blow!

Di Baose sneered: "Do you think you're so great just because you're a lowly concubine in the Prince Qi's mansion? All you think about is showing off at the Eastern Palace?"

Huan Yue changed his clothes and came out.

Pei Huanying called out, "Fourth Sister!"

Di Baose ordered: "Attack!"

Yes! Several palace maids pressed Pei Huanying down and reprimanded her.

Is there an imperial decree? The Crown Prince can manage the princes' harems for them. At least within the Crown Prince's palace, he manages quite a bit.

Pei Huanying has gone mad! She came here posing for a show! She's got the confidence today!

Princess Yongjia was not her source of confidence; she wouldn't care at all if she were to fight Pei Huanying.

As for the Prince of Qi's reputation, that was never Pei Huanying's concern. Besides, the Prince of Qi was the Crown Prince's brother.

A daughter-in-law stepped forward.

Di Baose waved his hand, glanced at his daughter-in-law, and didn't hit her.

We're busy harvesting ginkgo nuts; it won't be convenient to do it after dark.

Although there are still quite a few on the trees, fifteen loads have already been collected from the ground, and about three or four loads remain to be collected.

Fortunately, there were many people, so they didn't feel the strain while working, but the palace maids felt like they were picking up silver.

Huan Yue sat down at Jixian Pavilion and drank tea.

Princess Yongjia also sat down.

The palace maid gave her a cup of tea, not for anything else, but for that sum of money.

Pei Huanfeng came over and asked to sit down.

Di Baose stared at her: "You dare to sit in front of the Empress and the Princess? That's incredibly strange!"

Pei Huanfeng bit her lip, her anger almost bursting forth.

I can hold it in normally, but I really don't want to hold it in when I see Pei Huanyue.

The woman who just came over said, "These are all sisters."

Huan Yue asked, "Where did you get this?"

The daughter-in-law began to put on airs: "I have served the Master for thirty years."

Huan Yue kicked her out of Jixian Pavilion, saying, "Throw her out of the palace."

Wait! Di Baose roared, "Disrespecting the Crown Princess, punish her with fifty strokes of the cane and then kick her out."

yes!

The eunuchs were no longer afraid of the servants around the emperor.

Are all the servants of a real person so arrogant? Besides, yesterday they beat up Lan Fengyi, Lu Fengyi and others, and even deposed the Empress.

Pei Huanfeng hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

Di Baose asked, "Do you know where you are and what you're saying? Are you going to get fifty lashes?"

Pei Huanfeng stared at Pei Huanyue and said, "Do you know the real person?"

Di Baose slapped her: "You only know the real person but not the Crown Princess? Drag her away and beat her!"

The eunuch came to drag people away.

Pei Huanfeng struggled desperately: "Pei Huanyue! You're so stubborn! You're about to die! You're just a country girl!"

Huan Yue was speechless. Wasn't he supposed to be a smart person?

However, intelligence isn't everything. Just like IQ isn't the key to success. What is it then—EQ?

In the original book, Pei Huanfeng was quite troublesome, just like Qian Shi.

Princess Yongjia wanted to speak, but then shut her mouth again. Because Pei Huanfeng's words were becoming increasingly outrageous.

Princess Yongjia once said that she didn't think before she spoke, but she understood what others were saying.

Princess Huayang suddenly showed up at the door.

Di Baose was curious. This disgraced princess had come again?

Princess Huayang yelled at the Crown Princess, "What have you done?"

Huan Yue was about to slap her, spitting everywhere.

Princess Huayang quickly distanced herself, reasoning with herself: "You brought the people from the Peng Prince's residence to the East Palace, so why don't you want the people from the Zheng Prince's residence?"

Di Baose blinked: "King Zheng gave it to my brother-in-law again? That's wonderful!"

Huan Yue nodded. The King of Zheng was too good to his brother-in-law.

Princess Yongjia remained silent; that was not the case in her family.
