Shiwangfu Street, Princess's Mansion.

Outside the warm room, the sound of abacus clacking was as loud as raindrops.

As the twelfth lunar month began, the managers of many imperial farms and shops in the capital would bring their accounts to the palace to report.

A dozen accountants were quickly turning the abacus with one hand and recording the results of the accounting neatly with the other.

They had to settle all the hundreds of accounts within a few days and then compile them into a general ledger so that Her Royal Highness the Princess could report to Emperor Longqing.

~~

In the warm room, Her Royal Highness the Princess was leaning lazily on the couch, holding the account sheet presented by Lady Liu in her hand, but her eyes were unfocused.

Seeing this, Lady Liu sighed inwardly, "Alas, Your Highness is distracted again."

As expected, the eldest princess asked faintly, "Tell me, is Mingyue's foot healed?"

"It's only been a few days, how can it be that fast?" Liu Shanggong said helplessly: "It has to be kept until the New Year at least."

"Well, it seems I have to think of another way." The princess unconsciously rolled the paper into a tube, which became thinner and thinner. "Do you have any good ideas to let me see Zhao Lang again?"

"I don't have any." Liu Shanggong said depressedly: "I only know that if Your Highness keeps rubbing, all the efforts of the accountants outside will be wasted."

"Oh?" The princess then realized that she had rolled the paper in her hand into a stick.

He hurriedly spread it out carefully and said, "How about I also hold a literary gathering?"

"Puff..." Liu Shanggong almost vomited blood. Your Highness, you are not a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and you are a widow.

If a group of old men were to be gathered at home to hold a party, my God, the scene would be unimaginable.

No matter how good-tempered Emperor Longqing was, he would have to pull Your Highness over and give him a severe scolding, right?

As for this poor Shang Gong, she would undoubtedly become the princess' scapegoat and be beaten to death by Gong Zhengsi...

Poor Lady Liu was racking her brains, thinking about how to dissuade the eldest princess from this stupid idea.

Then the head eunuch of the palace, Ji Si of the Imperial Envoy, came in quickly and whispered to the princess, "Your Highness, we just received a report that Zhao Xiaolian was arrested by people from Shuntian Prefecture."

"What?!" The originally lazy Princess sat up suddenly after hearing this, tore up the account page in her hand, and said sternly:

"Can you explain it to me clearly?!"

~~

The princess's voice was heard outside the warm room, and the trembling accountants trembled with fear, and they all made the wrong moves on the abacus beads...

Well, how can we calculate this? The accountant wanted to die.

The eldest princess no longer cared about these things. After listening to Ji Sizheng's report, she went into a state of rampage.

"Someone, come and show me the way. I want to go to Shuntian Prefecture!"

Liu Shang Gong and Ji Sizheng hurriedly held her back, trying to persuade her: "Your Highness, you can't do this. If you go, won't everything be clear?"

"Yes, Your Highness, you are not saving Zhao Xiaolian, you are harming him."

"I can't stand by and watch Zhao Lang being bullied by them! No one can bully him!" The princess burst into tears and said with great sorrow: "What if they torture him?"

"I can't care about so much anymore. I'll rescue the people first..." The scene was unimaginable, and she was about to rush out again.

"Your Highness, it's not that serious. Zhao Xiaolian was invited to Shuntian Prefecture, not the Eastern Depot Jinyiwei." Liu Shanggong dragged her back with all her strength.

"Where scholars rule, there are still rules," Ji Sizheng also advised: "Zhao Xiaolian is a juren after all, they won't use force on him."

The two men tried their best to persuade the princess back to the couch.

"We can't just sit there and wait like this." The princess bit her lips tightly, thinking for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said:

"Call Cheng'en to me!"

Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng's jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock.

Letting his own son rescue his old lover? There is no other such a bold move in the Ming Dynasty, right?

"Your Highness really is reckless for love..."

The two finally realized how serious Her Royal Highness the Princess was in love.

~~

Li Chengen was blamed for the last skiing incident at Miaofeng Mountain and has been locked up at home recently to reflect on his mistakes.

Seeing that his mother finally remembered him, he hurriedly ran into the warm room happily, and then said obediently like a eunuch: "Mom, I know I was wrong."

"Do you really know you are wrong?" The eldest princess has excellent acting skills. As long as she is given some time to adjust her mood, she can become a dignified and majestic mother again.

"Really? It's real, better than real gold!" Li Chengen nodded vigorously.

"Then you go to Shuntian Prefecture." Then the princess said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao who saved your sister last time is in some trouble."

"What trouble?" Li Chengen was puzzled.

"For some reason, his father was captured by Shuntian Prefecture." The eldest princess taught her son earnestly, "Mother always taught you to be grateful and repay kindness. Now is the time for us to repay kindness."

"Just find someone to go there. I'm not familiar with Shuntian Prefecture." Li Chengen scratched his nose, as if he found it troublesome.

In fact, he was a little scared... After all, if any powerful person could intimidate the mighty Shuntian Prefecture, then there would be no law in Beijing.

"Then you should continue to stay at home." The princess smiled and said, "Don't even think about going out this year..."

"Don't worry." Li Chengen begged for mercy: "I'll go, I'll go."

"Take my jade token and tell Cao Sanyang that no matter what crime Zhao Xiaolian committed, I will cover it for him."

Then the princess snorted coldly and said, "If Cao doesn't let me go, I will go find him myself."

Hearing this, Liu Shanggong's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, if Zhao Xiaolian is guilty of an unpardonable crime, will you cover for him?

But being able to prevent His Highness from making this trip in person was already her limit, and Concubine Liu didn't dare to create any more trouble.

~~

Li Chengen felt relieved after hearing this.

With his mother's jade token, the young master can walk around the city with his free will.

But besides being excited, he was also a little confused.

My mother is usually very low-key and never uses her status as the eldest princess to do anything wrong. Why would she make such a big fuss over two unrelated people?

"Mother, is it really necessary to do this?" Li Chengen couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Because of love." Then the eldest princess sighed softly.

"Ah?" Li Chengen was stunned.

"Now you know how much your mother loves you and your sister, right?" The eldest princess looked at her son kindly, "If you were saved by someone else, your mother would repay you in the same way."

Li Chengen's body immediately felt hot and his nose felt sore. He said with a firm belief, "Yes, because mother loves my brother and I so much..."

"Understood sir!" Then he was like a bailiff who had received a ticket, full of energy.

"After you're done, be sure to invite them home for a visit. They left in such a hurry last time, and I haven't been able to thank them properly yet." The eldest princess added.

"Well, mother, don't worry." The silly son of the eldest princess nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely invite them home."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement and said, "After all, I have to thank him for saving my sister."
