Putting it all together, these reasons are hard to fault.
Qin Yuzhu's face became more and more ugly. She originally thought she could collect hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but if most of these high-ranking dignitaries only had 10,000 taels, then it would only be a hundred thousand taels at most.
Although more than a hundred thousand is quite a lot, and the matter of rebuilding the homes of the people in the North is barely manageable, Qin Yuzhu still feels that it is a little less. If there is not enough, he is afraid that the Ming Palace will have to fill this hole.
How can Prince Ming's Mansion have so much money? I'm afraid that the Qin family will still want her or the Qin family to take action.
"Twenty thousand from the Huaihe Prince's Palace." Princess Huaihe said calmly without explaining anything.
The King of Huaihe is just a county prince, not comparable to the status of King Zhao, and he has been cautious in doing things over the years, not daring to make a wrong step. Although the palace has money, now is not the time for the Huaihe Palace to stand out.
Su Ling said: "The princess is pregnant. Although she can't come today, I told me today that I want you to come to Prince Zhao's Palace and Prince Huaihe's Palace. It's also 20,000."
"I am just a concubine, and I will obey the princess in everything."
Su Ling was wearing a blue dress, her hair was swaying lightly, and her face was also a little delicate and careful.
She was slender before leaving the palace, but after giving birth to her child, she became slightly plumper and seemed to be living a good life.
In fact, she did live a good life. When she gave birth to a daughter, she felt a little disappointed. The princess had not been pregnant for many years, so she gave up her mind, so she agreed that if the baby was a boy, it would be recorded in the name of the princess. To raise this child with her.
Su Ling naturally knew what that meant. If she gave birth to a boy, then this child would most likely be the heir to the palace in the future. If he was lucky, he would go further.
But I didn't expect it to be a girl.
But fortunately, it was just a little regretful. The girl was also born to her, and she felt distressed. Fortunately, she was King Sui's first child. Even though she was a girl, King Sui also felt sorry for her. Even His Majesty in the palace felt sorry for her. of.
On the first day after the child was born, the palace gave her many gifts. When the child was one month old, the emperor gave her the title of "Hexu" and made her a first-class princess.
Logically speaking, the daughter born to the main concubine is the first-class princess, the daughter born to the side concubine is the second-class, and the rest are the third-class. The emperor gave He Xu a first-class princess, and he probably liked this granddaughter very much. .
Su Ling thought about it and thought it was pretty good.
Later, when the good news came to both the princess and Song Wanting, she felt a chill from head to toe. She was extremely glad that the child was a girl. If it had been a boy, she would have blocked the way of many people, and she couldn't tell what. She lost her life at that time, and even she didn't end well.
If nothing else, the princess will not let go of the first one. After all, the princess is pregnant, and the one born from her belly will be the legitimate son and future heir.
Once Su Ling entered Prince Sui's palace with only a sense of hatred, feeling that life was unfair and the world was unfair. Su Fu wanted to harm her so unscrupulously just because she was the legitimate daughter. Even if she didn't have to be punished, she would stand taller than Su Fu and spend her whole life. Su Fu stepped on it.
But when she had this child, the hatred in her heart subsided a little, and she just wanted to keep her peace and live a good life.
If King Sui really ascends to this position in the future, she and her child will also become rich and noble. She is just a girl, and the princess will not tolerate her and her child. In the future, she will just live quietly without fighting.
But if King Sui is defeated, she still has the Duke Ning's Mansion. Because she is a girl, it can be better preserved.
The road ahead can lead to the sky, and the road behind can ensure peace, so why not do it?
She is also satisfied with the current situation.
Qin Yuzhu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Only 20,000?"
Su Ling nodded: "I have no control over matters in the house. If the princess is dissatisfied, just send someone to ask my princess for instructions."
Qin Yuzhu choked at her words. Regarding today's donation, Su Ran had also said before that it was based on the principle of voluntariness, no matter how much it was, it was all intention and all merit.
Since Princess Sui had already told Su Ling what to do, and now Su Ling opened her mouth according to Princess Sui's instructions, if she thought it was too little and sent someone to ask, that would be a bit too much.
However, the dignified palace only paid out 20,000 yuan, which was indeed a little less.
Qin Yuzhu gritted her teeth secretly: "Since it is the emperor's sister-in-law's order, then twenty thousand is enough. It is all a matter of heart and merit."
Su Ling smiled and said, "That's right. It's more or less your intention, but for those who came today, you should at least show some intention."
Her eyes looked at the location of Prince Zhao's Mansion and fell on Su Fu, "The Crown Princess came here on behalf of the Imperial Aunt, so it can be regarded as a donation, but since the Third Young Madam is here, how can there be no reason why she is here? "
The implication is that Su Fu is also asked to donate.
Murong Ning frowned, but Su Fu's expression changed drastically: "Su Ling, shut up!"
"Bold!" the maid next to Su Ling scolded loudly, "Third Young Madam, you need to know how to speak properly. My wife is the concubine of the palace after all, and she has been on the royal jade certificate. How can I allow you to yell and scream by name? ! Why don’t you kowtow to my mother-in-law and apologize!”
Su Fu's face suddenly changed. She turned blue, white, and purple for a while. It was very exciting.
Seriously speaking, Su Ling is now the palace's side concubine, and she is just the palace's daughter-in-law, not even the crown prince's concubine. In front of Su Ling, she really lowers her head. If she meets her, she must first treat her respectfully. Salute and call the concubine your concubine.
Su Ling smiled, stopped and asked the maid to retreat: "Don't blame me, my maid is too loyal. I don't want to see my master being bullied. This is rude. I will punish her later."
"What are you talking about, concubine? This servant girl who is always with me is so loyal. When she sees her master being bullied, she will be the first to rush to protect her master."
"Isn't that true? The concubine is really good at teaching people. I heard that Princess Hexu is very well-behaved. His Majesty also likes her very much. When he has some free time, he sends someone to take her into the palace to have a look."
"After all, she is the first granddaughter. Your Majesty naturally cares about her."
The person next to her was holding Su Ling, and Su Fu felt a little embarrassed. No matter what, it was rude of her to call Su Ling by her name.
Although before she left the court, she was the legitimate daughter and Su Ling was the concubine, so she was overpowering her. Su Ling could only endure whatever she wanted to do to Su Ling.
But now Su Ling is the concubine of the palace, she is just the daughter-in-law of the youngest son of the palace, which is exactly the opposite.
Su Fu almost gritted her teeth, wishing to tear Su Ling apart.
Murong Ning frowned, and then said: "The discipline in my house is not strict, brothers and sisters, go and apologize to the concubine."
Su Ling smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is too polite. It's not a matter of discipline or lack of discipline. The emperor's aunt is in charge of the palace, so naturally she can't make any mistakes. Her dissatisfaction with me is just a private grudge among the boudoirs. The house has nothing to do with it.”
"But since I want to apologize, I can't just say a word and let it go. I need to pour a cup of tea and apologize to me properly."
