Chapter 331 The Emperor Offers Advice

Nanny Lu looked at Jiang Xinyue while taking out gold, silver and treasures from her cloth bag: "My queen, I will listen to you. I was embarrassed at first to hear what Concubine De's people said, but when they showed me good things, I reluctantly agreed. They gave me so many treasures, but I didn't keep anything. They are all here."

Jiang Xinyue glanced at Xi Que, who walked over. In Nanny Lu's guilty eyes, she shook out a pair of jade earrings from her sleeves.

The Imperial Concubine raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are they all here?"

Nanny Lu smiled and said, "I just like this pair of earrings the most. I'm a little reluctant to give them up!"

"Bla!"

Shuangjiang had come behind her at some point and pulled her belt and shook it. Gold hairpins, pearl necklaces, and expensive kingfisher hairpins fell to the ground with a clang. Both sides were a little embarrassed.

Nanny Lu looked up at the sky and then down at the ground, not daring to meet Jiang Xinyue's eyes.

Nanny Xiang couldn't help laughing, and Shuangjiang and Xi Que also covered their mouths and laughed. Nanny Lu looked too funny.

"Okay, stop showing off here. Since Concubine De has given them to you, I will not take them from you. As long as you do your job well, all of these are yours."

"Really?"

Nanny Lu dared to squat down and picked up the pearls and treasures on the ground and put them in her arms: "Your Majesty, you are really the reincarnation of Bodhisattva and a very good person. If I have a master like you, I will go through fire and water for you and the Sixth Prince. Concubine De wants to harm you and the Sixth Prince, and I will make her run around in circles."

"What's the point of playing with her?"

Jiang Xinyue hooked her finger: "You are like this..."

Her voice was so soft that even Xi Que and Shuangjiang couldn't hear it clearly, but it didn't stop them from guessing that the Majesty was going to set a trap for Concubine De again. It was

the golden autumn of September, and the Sixth Prince was already five months old. The little guy had learned to sit up by himself these days, so he didn’t like the nanny and wet nurse to hold him all the time, and insisted on sitting on the ground.

It was just the beginning of autumn, and the autumn heat was also the hottest time of the year. In the past few days, the temperature difference between morning and evening was alternating between hot and cold, and as expected, the little boy caught a cold.

"Your Majesty, wet nurse Lu from Hexi Palace wants to see you."

In the study, the emperor was dealing with the memorials that had accumulated after he went to the temporary palace some time ago, and then he heard Tang Shiliang say, "She also brought a small bundle." A

small bundle?

Is she going to pack up and go home?

Wet nurse Lu held the small bundle tightly in her arms, and followed Tang Shiliang closely, her heart beating fast.

Is what the queen said reliable?

With so many jewels, would the emperor really not compete with her for them?

To be honest, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou, corruption in Guangdong and Guangxi, and officials in Qinzhou were dismissed. Money was needed everywhere. When the emperor saw the small bag full of jewels in Nanny Lu's hand, he really had some ideas.

However, he was not greedy for the things in Nanny Lu's hand, but was amazed at his concubines in the harem, each of whom was tied with thousands of silks and lived so extravagantly.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine has been very kind to me. The monthly salary and rewards she gives me are enough to support seven daughters. The Virtuous Concubine has given me so many good things. She asked me to bathe the Sixth Prince in cold water to make his cold worse. This money... I am guilty. I dare not tell the Royal Concubine, for fear that she will suspect me and drive me away. I dare not refuse the Virtuous Concubine, for fear that she will find someone else to harm the Sixth Prince. I have no choice but to come to you, thinking that Your Majesty is the most powerful person in this palace. Can you give me some advice?"

Wang Dequan was shocked again. What kind of Feng Shui is this Hexi Palace?

Why do people who go in become so bold after coming out? So... it's hard to evaluate.

When Nanny Lu first entered the palace, she was such a cautious person that she didn't dare to speak loudly. Now she dares to come to the emperor alone to ask him to make decisions for her.

Emperor Xuanwu was quite receptive. He attributed Nanny Lu's behavior to her being too simple-minded and having a simple mind. She didn't have so many twists and turns. She came to him because she thought the emperor was powerful.

Ignorance is fearless!

"Let me give you some advice?"

Nanny Lu nodded hurriedly.

The emperor glanced at the small cloth bag spread out on the ground: "My ideas are not given to anyone casually. You can give me the things on the ground as a reward for my advice to you?"

!!!

Why is it different from what the Imperial Concubine said? The treasury is in danger!

But the emperor was still waiting for her reply. Nanny Lu thought of the soft and fair Sixth Prince, whose grandmother smelled sweet. Her eyes lingered on the gold and silver for a long time.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, stamped her feet, and simply turned a blind eye. She said with a trembling throat: "Okay, as long as the emperor can save the Sixth Prince... I... I don't want it anymore."

Nanny Lu could only keep comforting herself. These things were not hers in the first place. She would have them if she served the Sixth Prince loyally in the future.

She also wanted to return home in glory like Nanny Li, to let those villagers who laughed at her for only giving birth to daughters see, what's wrong with daughters? She is also a woman, but she can also save the family business and raise her seven daughters in luxury.

Thinking of her own daughter, Nanny Lu opened her eyes and looked at the emperor firmly.

She must behave uprightly, not be greedy for things that are not hers, take good care of the Sixth Prince, be worthy of Nanny Li's recommendation, be worthy of Nanny Xiang's teaching, and be worthy of the trust of the Royal Consort.

Xiao Xiangzi, Jiangchuan, Xi Que and Shuangjiang in Hexi Palace are all very kind to her. She likes them very much and does not want to break up with them.

It's not worth it for this little money.

The emperor lowered his head and couldn't help laughing. There are interesting people in Yue'er Palace.

The emperor smiled, and Tang Shiliang also smiled: "Nanny Lu, the emperor is just teasing you! They are just some gold and silver jewelry. The Imperial Concubine didn't even ask you for them, so how could our emperor possibly want them?"

Nanny Lu's eyes quickly glued to the cloth bag again, her eyes shining: "Does the emperor mean... that all this money... belongs to me?"

The emperor nodded: "But remember, I don't reward you because you have done something well, but because you can keep your original intention and put the Sixth Prince first in everything. I think you deserve it."

Nanny Lu didn't listen to what he said. She was thinking that such precious things could be exchanged for dowries in the future, which would be enough for her seven daughters to live a prosperous life.

No wonder after Li Ma returned home, her son and daughter-in-law were so respectful and filial to her. They were no worse than the county officials, weren't they?

"Just tell her to do what Concubine De tells you to do, and don't worry about the rest."

Concubine De was a ruthless person, and it was definitely not as simple as just making the Sixth Prince seriously ill.

There must be another trick.
