The queen smiled lightly and patted the back of Wen Xianyue's hand, "He still has you in his heart. He came to see you as soon as the imperial edict was issued."
Wen Xianyue lowered her head and blushed with embarrassment.
His eyes looked towards the door, full of expectation.
Lu Chenan, wearing a crescent white robe, walked in from the door with his head held high and said, "Greetings to the Queen, Princess Xianyue."
The queen nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to stand up, "I have just had lunch and am a little sleepy, so let Xian Yue take you for a walk in the Royal Garden."
Lu Chenan's purpose in entering the palace this time was to show his face in front of the queen and have a few words with Wen Xianyue.
The Queen was willing to give her a chance, and of course he was very happy to do so. "Yes, thank you, Queen Mother."
After the queen left, the scene instantly relaxed and became a little ambiguous.
The distance between their shoulders was very close. As they walked, they bumped into each other from time to time, which made Wen Xianyue's heart beat faster.
Walking to the pavilion in the imperial garden, Lu Chenan held Wen Xianyue's hand and put it on his chest, "Xianyue, the emperor ordered me to go to Beidi Kingdom to investigate the news and contact the third princess. I don't know when I can come back from this trip. Will you wait for me?"
Wen Xianyue's cheeks were red, and she held Lu Chenan's hand back, lowering her eyes and smiling, "I do, brother Chen'an, please pay attention to safety, Xianyue will miss you."
"It's just that now that Third Sister is married to Li Junche, will she be willing to help you deliver the news? I'm a little worried."
Lu Chenan stared into her eyes affectionately, "The third princess is the emperor's flesh and blood after all. The overall situation must be towards Linyue Kingdom, and Li Junche is a heinous murderer. This marriage is forced, as long as Linyue Kingdom defeats Beidi Kingdom, and the three princesses will naturally come back."
Lu Chenan thought that if he said a few nice words, Wen Jinhe would still listen to him.
When Wen Xianyue heard what Lu Chenan said, the dissatisfaction in her heart was not shown on her face.
After Lu Chenan left, his face suddenly turned dark.
Lu Chenan was restless after returning to the palace. He had a good attitude towards Wen Jinhe. If the two of them really met, there was no telling what would happen if Wen Jinhe used some tricks.
When Wen Xianyue thought of this, she couldn't sleep or eat well.
After thinking about it, she called the palace maid to give her a few instructions, "Do it secretly, don't let others know."
The palace maid nodded, "Yes."
Looking at the palace maid's back as she left the dormitory, Wen Xianyue's lips curved into a vicious smile.
Wen Jinhe, who was in Prince Che's Mansion, had no idea that someone in Linyue Kingdom was plotting against her.
The business of Yunxi Restaurant has been getting better and better these days, and the crops in the fields have also entered the fruiting period, and the manpower purchased before is no longer enough.
After thinking about it, Wen Jinhe decided to let Man Qiu buy fifty more people and hire the rest.
After cultivating one hundred people with the contract of selling themselves, they will focus on management positions.
The new soldiers recruited by the Ministry of War were sent to the military camp.
Li Junche was too busy these days to go back to the palace. He sat in the tent and thought of Wen Jinhe from time to time.
"Didn't Zhao Bi send any news today?"
Murong Nie looked at Li Junche and smiled lightly. He saw that you were restless, and he was really thinking about the princess. "I think the princess is busy with the business of Yunxi Restaurant these days, so there is nothing unusual."
Seeing Li Junche's silence, Murong Nie added jealously: "Should I ask General Zhao Bi to report to you one by one about Princess Zhao Bi's daily behavior?"
Li Junche raised his eyes and stared at Murong Nie, "She is my princess, not a prisoner in a prison. As long as she does not harm Beidi Kingdom, she has enough freedom and power."
Murong Nie suddenly understood when he saw Li Junche was angry.
Li Junche has already been tempted, but he hasn't noticed it yet.
"Your Majesty, military expenditures in the army are starting to get tight again. When will the money from the Ministry of Revenue be allocated?" Murong Nie changed the topic appropriately. He was not a matchmaker, so he would not remind the ruthless coach how to pursue his wife.
Li Junche's eyes darkened, "Father said that the treasury is now empty, and we need to start setting aside military resources to attack the Linyue Kingdom in two years, so let us tighten military expenditures. The military expenditures from the Ministry of Revenue will not be allocated until next month. ”
Murong Nie frowned and just wanted to tell himself to get lost.
The new recruits can't afford to feed them now, and they still want to attack Linyue Kingdom in two years. Isn't this a fantasy? "Your Majesty, after paying this month's military salary, the food is not enough? How can you train for strength if you don't have enough food?" Without training, the combat effectiveness of those new recruits will not be able to keep up, and problems will arise during the inspection by the Ministry of War. "
If the Ministry of War writes a letter accusing the new recruits of being undisciplined and weak in combat effectiveness, and a hat is thrown off, it will be Li Junche who is punished.
This military expenditure should have been released at the end of last month. It was obviously Li Yuheng's mischief at the Ministry of Household Affairs that delayed it until this month.
The emperor made a decision to recruit troops to attack Linyue Kingdom.
As a result, the military expenditures that were supposed to be released last month will now not arrive until next month.
A full two months behind schedule.
There were more than 100,000 people in the army waiting to eat, and they were in chaos.
Li Junche's brows were indifferent, "My father asked me to train new soldiers. With the increase in military power in my hands, Li Yuheng will naturally not be able to sit still."
Murong Nie had a relatively clear understanding of the situation in Prince Che's Mansion. His own prince was subsidizing money all year round and was not rich to begin with.
It was simply impossible for him to come up with the military expenses and pay them first, so he said, "If the prince is short of money, he can discuss it with the princess. I went to Yunxi Restaurant once in my humble position and the business was quite good."
Li Junche thought of Wen Jinhe being busy in the room until midnight every day in the past few days, and said with disapproval: "That is the private property of the princess, how can I use it?"
Wen Jinhe originally disliked the emptiness of his warehouse. What would it look like if he reached out to her again and asked for money?
Murong Nie sighed: "My lord, you are one in a million when it comes to marching and fighting, but you are not good at doing business at all."
There are many shops and farms under Li Junche's name, and his monthly income is mediocre and has no fluctuations.
"My lord, if you leave everything under the control of the princess, it will at least double." Butler Li was born in the military and was good at managing people, but he was not proficient in business matters.
Li Junche shook his head, "I handed over the stewardship to her a long time ago, but she turned it over to steward Li." Maybe he made the distinction too clearly and didn't want to interfere.
Butler Li looked at Yunxi Restaurant's bustling scene. On the one hand, he no longer had to worry about his princess losing money in business.
On the other hand, looking at the head of the palace's account books, he sighed.
I have to report again in a few days to the beginning of the month, what should I do?
The shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop sent the first finished bicycle to the palace.
Wen Jinhe stared at the familiar modern products, but they were not painted and did not look very good.
After trying to ride for a while, Wen Jinhe thought the weight was too heavy.
Except for the tires, everything else is made of real iron, which is not only laborious to ride but also costly.
So after discussing with the craftsmen, some parts were changed to wood and wrapped with iron sheets.
The next day, a new bicycle appeared at the palace, and this time Wen Jinhe was finally satisfied.
With her order, the rubber workshop and blacksmith shop began mass production.
