It was already evening when they returned to the palace. After dinner, the two went to bed to rest.
The room was dimly lit by candlelight. Lu Qingtang leaned in Mo Zeshen's arms with shy eyes. Mo Zeshen was breathing heavily. He hugged Lu Qingtang into his arms, and the two of them got into the quilt together.
"My uncle came to see me again today. I agreed to take over the military supply order from him, but I still feel uncomfortable. What if he joins forces with some unscrupulous merchants and torments the soldiers?" Mo Zeshen couldn't help but sigh.
He fights in the field all year round and treats the soldiers as if they are his own relatives. How can he use the food and clothing of the soldiers as a tool for his own fighting?
Lu Qingtang looked up at him and tapped his nose, "This is a simple matter. Making cotton-padded clothes does not happen overnight, let alone in one step. Do you understand?"
Mo Zeshen suddenly understood. He smiled and hugged Lu Qingtang tightly in his arms, "You are so smart, Tangtang. You woke me up right away. I know what to do."
The first step in making cotton-padded clothes is to purchase cotton.
Since Chong Xinbo is greedy for money, he will definitely not buy good cotton, or just the old cotton from last year. He only needs to curb it in the first step, and then let others make the list later.
The purchase of cotton alone was enough for Uncle Chong Xin to drink a pot of cotton.
A few days later, Mr. and Mrs. Chong Xinbo, who had taken this big order, came to deliver gifts. Mo Zeshen happened to be away, so it was Lu Qingtang who entertained them.
Lu Qingtang knew that this order would not be fulfilled, and these gifts could not be accepted, but he could not make them suspicious.
She was stroking her eyebrows in the bedroom and heard Su Mu chattering beside her.
"Princess, you don't know that Uncle Chongxin and his wife are too arrogant and dislike the food in our palace."
"If you can, go back home and eat. Choose whatever you want!"
"Let me tell you, Princess, you can't get used to such people, you have to step on them under your feet and twist them hard!"
Kou Dan on the side curled his lips and said, "Princess, did you see that Su Mu has to make the decision when it comes to the palace? Why don't we and the prince pack up and leave, leaving Su Mu alone to toil in the palace."
"Koudan!" Su Mu reached out and hit Koudan.
Kou Dan immediately jumped away, leaving Su Mu in the air, and then the two of them chased each other around the house.
When the two babies saw it, they also hurriedly dragged the nannies to chase them, laughing together non-stop.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. This was probably the happiness after having a child.
She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be telling Su Mu, "Everyone knows that Uncle Chongxin and his wife are not good people. They can see it. Why bother with such philistines? They dislike eating. If it’s not good, just listen, what else can I give them that’s good? That’s how the palace is, whether you like it or not, it doesn’t matter.”
Su Mu pursed his lips and said, "I just feel uncomfortable listening to it."
Kodan patted her on the shoulder and said, "You will suffer a big loss if you take advantage. This couple is not taking advantage enough. They will definitely be unlucky in the future."
After Lu Qingtang heard this, he turned back and smiled at Kou Dan.
She didn't tell Koudan about this matter. These were all her experiences. Compared with Sumu, Koudan is indeed more stable. And Su Mu is actually quite cute, and these words are also what Lu Qingtang feels.
But she is a princess, so there are some things she cannot say and must be tolerated.
After dressing up, Lu Qingtang took Sumukou Dan to the side hall.
In the side hall, Chong Xinbo and his wife were waiting for Lu Qingtang. In front of them were several boxes of gifts bought randomly on the street.
But from the packaging point of view, it’s just shabby for less than two taels of gold, let alone the value inside.
They want to hire people but don't want to spend money. This couple really values money more than their lives. Mo Zeqing, who loves Pixiu, happened to have inherited this from his uncle.
This family really didn't run away.
"I've met my uncle and aunt." Lu Qingtang entered the side hall and casually curtsied to the couple.
Uncle Chongxin was lucky and stood up immediately, but Aunt Jiang's buttocks were glued together and she couldn't move.
She smiled, showing her big white teeth, "Oh, isn't this the princess? Your fruits are so delicious. Where did you buy them? Let's go back and buy some to eat with your cousin."
Bring me your fruit. I will take it home and stuff it between your cousin’s teeth.
Lu Qingtang pretended not to understand, "If it's delicious, eat more."
Then, she sat aside with a calm expression.
Logically speaking, these two guys should sit in the guest seat, but they were ignorant and sat in the main seat, leaving Lu Qingtang to sit in the guest seat.
"Princess, I have nothing to do today. I just took some things to look at the two children." Mrs. Jiang smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. "By the way, where are the children? Why don't you bring them out to meet them."
Lu Qingtang curled his lips slightly, "Unfortunately, I fell asleep."
"Great" appeared on Mrs. Jiang's face, and she smiled regretfully, "Why is it such an unlucky thing that I sealed red envelopes for the two dolls? I can't give them to them now."
Before Lu Qingtang could speak, Su Mu on the side said impatiently: "It's okay, Countess, please bring it. When the little princess and the little princess wake up, I will tell them that my great-uncle and great-uncle gave it to them."
There was a smile on her face, as if she had lost the indignation she had just felt in the bedroom.
After hearing her words, the smile on Jiang's face visibly froze.
Obviously, she didn't expect Su Mu to ask her directly.
Kou Dan also lowered his head slowly. Lu Qingtang guessed that she was snickering, and she was holding it in just now, but she thought she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Lu Qingtang pretended to be angry and scolded Su Mu, "Don't talk nonsense, can my aunt be so stingy? It's just a red envelope, as if you can't take it, don't be so blind."
Su Mu also knew that this was Lu Qingtang's intention, so he replied: "Yes, I will definitely open my eyes in the future and not be a petty person."
Jiang was so stupid that he couldn't tell what Lu Qingtang was saying, and Chong Xinbo was so stupid, but he still had some intelligence.
But he couldn't argue with Lu Qingtang, a pregnant woman, not to mention she was a princess, so he said, "Whatever the princess said, it's not a big deal."
"I came with your aunt this time just to see you and the child. These are all good supplements and will be of great benefit to your body."
Lu Qingtang looked at the gift next to him again, with a smile on his face.
She really didn't see what was "good" about it.
But she still forced a smile and said: "Actually, there is no need. The palace is not short of things. My uncle and aunt should take it. My cousins also need to make up for their health."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Jiang immediately became unhappy.
"Princess, do you think our stuff is bad? Do you look down on it?"
Lu Qingtang raised his head and glanced at Jiang, why did he suddenly become smarter now?
