Jinqiao giggled at the side and interrupted, "Princess, the Prince has always been considerate towards you. He has always doted on you like an eyeball. Why don't you forgive him?"
Mu Yunyao looked over with a smile. "If I listen to your advice, how much will the Prince reward you?"
Jin Qiao smiled as she stretched out five fingers. "Fifty taels of silver!" She blurted out.
It was too late for Jin Lan to stop him. She couldn't help but hold her forehead. This girl, she was finished. Her errands were ruined again.
Even when she was chased out of the room by Mu Yunyao, Jin Qiao still didn't understand what happened. She carefully looked at Jin Lan, "Big Sister Jin Lan, I saw that wangfei's expression just now was clearly softhearted. Why is she angry now?"
Jin Lan looked at her confused appearance and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. "You don't need to say anything about what happened today. Just leave it in your stomach. Otherwise, when the prince punishes you, no one will speak of it."
Jin Qiao covered her mouth and said, "Shouldn't I have said something about the fifty silver taels earlier?"
Jin Lan glared at her in annoyance. "You just found out!"
Mu Yunyao used her breakfast and had Jin Lan take the key to open the storehouse.
After her dowry had been delivered to the palace, this warehouse had been expanded to twice its original size. Now, it was filled to the brim with things, making everyone dazzled.
Mu Yunyao looked at the neatly stacked boxes in the storehouse, and her gaze swept across the notes pasted on them. "I remember there were two boxes that I specifically told you to leave alone."
Jin Lan had come over to help with the arrangement of the dowry, so she remembered clearly. "Miss, those two boxes are on the northeast side. Eunuch Cheng had them distributed separately."
Mu Yunyao walked over and swept her gaze over them as she sighed in her heart.
Jin Lan stood at the side, not daring to make a sound as she sensed the emotions on Mu Yunyao's body.
Mu Yunyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Open the box."
"Yes." Jin Lan quickly went up. This box was especially large, but after opening it, there weren't many things inside. The most eye-catching thing was a guqin. When she had first learned to make tea and play the zither, she was indeed forced by life. She wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Ning Junjin so that she could have a better foothold in the backyard of the prince's mansion. But later on, she learned and learned from him …
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in there for so long and have studied everything so thoroughly. On one hand, she was busy without any time, and on the other hand, she didn't have any opportunity to show off. On the other hand, the master who once taught her how to play the zither once said that she played empty-handed, but lacked the charm. She had always been reasonable …
Since he couldn't solve the problem, he decided that there was no need to force himself to study. He just tossed it to the side. He did not know what King Fu had heard from Ning Junjin, but he had actually misunderstood. After the sinking of the salt merchant in Yangzhou city, she took this opportunity to collect a lot of salt merchant's businesses. In one of them was a treasure house, and since she did not have any subordinates to manage it, she sold many of the things there. Because of its value, this phoenix head ancient zither was kept.
He came down and brought it to her side.
After bringing the zither back to the room, Mu Yunyao dismissed Jin Lan, Jin Qiong, and the rest. She extended her fingertips and lightly strummed the zither. The clear sound was like the cry of a phoenix, causing everyone to be startled.
Mu Yunyao feebly placed her finger on the zither string and lightly sighed. 'Forget it, I was able to diligently practice the zither arts to curry favor with Ning Junjin back then. Now, I want to hear it.
The atmosphere in the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace was especially solemn.
The envoys from the northern border had arrived today, and before they could even take a breather to change their clothes, they were brought to the imperial palace by the Titan King.
This time, the number of people sent out was not many. However, these people were exceptionally unyielding. After they were brought into the Imperial Palace, the first to ask was to see the Northern Princess Helian Loulan.
"Your majesty, when our Northern Frontier King heard that the princess was trapped, he became extremely anxious. The princess's temperament has always been innocent, so how could she participate in some conspiracy as the rumors say?"
The other hours echoed his sentiments: "This is the west mausoleum of the capital. According to the Great Lees Dynasty, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, this place should be the most heavily guarded place in the world. Just based on this point, our Princess of the Northern Frontier Region doesn't have the ability to participate in any conspiracy."
"That's right. Our Northern Frontier is a foreign land. If the outsiders can use their power within the capital and even threaten the imperial power, then the peace of the empire would be worrisome." Seated on the throne, Ning Junyu squinted her eyes slightly. It seemed like these Northern Frontier envoys had come prepared, and they started off with an aggressive attitude. If he insisted on punishing Helian Loulan, then wouldn't they be making a fool of themselves? In fact, it would be empty inside, even lacking a princess of the Northern Frontier.
Success?
Suddenly, King Yue stood up and said loudly: "Your majesty, conspiring against the Emperor is a great crime. Your servant thinks that, according to the law of the Great Tang Dynasty, death is imminent."
The Northern Frontier envoys were all shocked. The reputation of the King Yue was like a thunderclap to them, especially after the massacre of the Northern Frontier Steel Cavalry that he led, it had left a deep shadow in their hearts. The moment he spoke, the Northern Frontier envoy's momentum weakened.
"Your Highness Duke of Yue, Princess Helian is of noble status. How can this be easily dealt with? There must be some kind of misunderstanding …"
Yue Yang turned his head and looked at them coldly: "This king has led troops to attack your imperial city and overturned your royal authority. Is it also possible that this can be blamed on a misunderstanding?"
"Your Highness Duke of Yue, how can this be the same? Princess Helian was only bewitched by someone and did not truly plan to rebel …"
"I was just angered by you guys. I didn't really want to do anything to you guys in the north."
Yue Yang's expression was cold, the aura around him was intimidating, especially the Northern Envoys who were closest to him. They only felt that the person in front of them was like a god of death, scaring them to the core: "Your Highness, we definitely do not have any intention of offending your highness, it's just that the princess has a simple personality, how could …"
Yue Yang coldly swept his gaze over, causing the Northern Frontier envoy who was speaking to immediately forget about what he had said. Ning Junyu smiled, seeing that the King had almost intimidated the envoys from the northern border, she spoke up: "Fourth brother, the envoys from the northern border are not aware of the situation, and they are worried about their princess, so they did not say much. You do not need to mind, I think when they understand the situation, they will definitely do so.
I won't talk like this anymore. "
The envoys from the Northern Frontier all felt hatred in their hearts, but it was obvious that the Da Lei Empire had gained the upper hand. Thinking back to Northern Frontier King's orders, they could only clench their teeth and give way: "Your Majesty, we have just arrived at the capital and do not know the exact situation. Please allow us to meet Her Highness."
"You guys have just arrived. Let's go down and take a good rest first." "Yes."
