Qin Kou'er quickly slapped his hand down and whispered, "Be careful, don't let anyone see!"
Lan Linxue smiled slightly, lowered her head, and actually stopped touching it.
Having lived in the palace for many years, he knew how vast the palace was, and what it had that it had was an abundance of eyes.
The two of them sat together and talked peacefully.
"Are you short of money lately?" Qin Kou'er tilted her head and looked at Lan Linxue curiously.
"I don't need it!" Lan Linxue replied almost reflexively.
Qin Kou'er frowned. "If you're not short of money, why is the Emperor following you around trading silver?"
Lan Linxue immediately turned her eyes, "Oh dear, you know my father, he's never been very reliable! He probably feels bad about not taking advantage of the situation!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, then sighed softly, reached out and took the purse off his body, opened it and glanced at it, "Where are the silver notes I gave you yesterday?"
Lan Linxue immediately frowned and snatched the purse back from her. "Spend it! What's the point of keeping the silver notes if you don't spend them!"
"How did you spend it?" Qin Kou'er asked persistently.
"Sleeping on the streets means you don't need money!" Lan Linxue glared and spouted nonsense.
Qin Kou'er sighed helplessly, then took Lan Linxue's hand and said patiently, "Linxue, you told me to come to you with any difficulties, but why can't you come to me when you have difficulties? Am I still an outsider in your heart?"
“Of course he’s not an outsider!” Lan Linxue immediately said, “But I’m a man! How can I keep asking my wife for money? That would make me lose face!”
Qin Kou'er couldn't help but chuckle at Lan Linxue's stubbornly arrogant demeanor. "If this were any other wife, you probably wouldn't have it even if you wanted it. But I'm the richest wife! Linxue, I know you wouldn't squander your money, right? Even the Emperor is helping you with your money-making schemes, which means you really need it right now. And if you really need it, why can't I help you instead of watching you worry about material possessions? Besides,"
As Qin Kou'er spoke, she moved closer to Lan Linxue, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with unparalleled charm: "This empire will be yours in the future, why should I care about those silver coins? Don't you think so?"
Lan Linxue looked down at Qin Kou'er, then suddenly lowered her head, wrapped her arms around Qin Kou'er's waist, and kissed her fiercely.
When Lan Linxue released Qin Kou'er, Qin Kou'er was struggling to breathe.
"What are you doing? Be careful not to let anyone see you!" Qin Kou'er blushed and quickly looked around.
Lan Linxue, however, held onto Qin Kou'er's waist tightly and refused to let go, saying, "I cherish my wife, anyone who looks at her is an eyesore!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue suddenly changed her tone, looking at Qin Kou'er with deep tenderness and said, "Kou'er, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing I, Lan Linxue, have accumulated over several lifetimes! You are so clever and insightful, I don't know what to say!"
"Then don't say anything! Linxue, ordinary couples might fight tooth and nail over money, but why should a couple like you and me care about such things! In my heart, you and our son are infinitely more important than any amount of money!"
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, gently took her small hand, and kissed it deeply: "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"
Qin Kou'er smiled at Lan Linxue and said softly, "Now you can tell me how much silver you need and what you want to do with it, right?"
Lan Linxue then told Qin Kou'er about the children's school.
“Originally, the children in this school were the orphans of those brothers who died in battle, and some were talented children I found from various places. I raised them hoping they would have a brighter future, and now that we have children of our own, we have to do something practical for our son! And no matter what, this children's school cannot be closed down! So, I'm a little short on cash right now! Wait for me…”
Qin Kou'er stopped Lan Linxue with her hand, "You don't need to say anything! I'll have Hai Tian personally deliver the silver notes to you later! One million taels, use it first. Once my branches in the capital are all open, the money will be circulating more easily. Then, I'll give you another one million taels! That way, you won't be so short of money!"
Lan Linxue immediately shook her head, "No need! I'll just use this million for short-term purposes, I'll find somewhere to get the rest!"
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Just use it!" Qin Kou'er said, giving Lan Linxue a playful glare. "If you need anything like this in the future, just tell me. Don't be so pathetic as to ask the Emperor for money! The palace's finances are very tight. If you take all the Emperor's money, it'll just give people something to talk about. Don't worry, my money will come faster than yours. Since we've raised these children, we absolutely can't let them suffer the slightest grievance. They've already suffered enough without parents; we can't let them go hungry and unhappy!"
Lan Linxue nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
After saying that, Lan Linxue sighed and said helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong, but none of my businesses are making money! I see you making money so easily, why is it so hard for me!"
Qin Kou'er chuckled, "Your Highness, do you really think making money is so easy? It requires specialized personnel to manage it meticulously, and the business world is just like a battlefield—every penny counts. You see me spending money like a tycoon? But my returns always far exceed what I spend! You should just stay true to being a prince and not go out into business, or you'll end up losing a fortune!"
