Master Wei said: "By the way, are you still going to the Household Department to withdraw money this year?"
After all, the princess is not dead, so is there any point in repairing the grave?
"Continue to draw money and build a merit temple next to the mausoleum."
The construction of the mausoleum for Leng Xiao was originally planned to be funded by Prince Yi's Palace. However, Leng Xiao killed Leng Zhenhuan and eliminated a serious problem for the court, so her mausoleum should be built at the expense of the court.
Therefore, he would withdraw money for other reasons every year to build a tomb.
"Yes, continue with that humble duty." Master Wei said.
The news of the appointment of a crown princess soon spread in the capital.
Just as Nangong Yitian said, all the famous ladies in the capital flocked to him. In order to get a spot to choose a concubine, every family moved diligently, and the thresholds of all the royal relatives were almost broken.
Even in the palace of the Qing princess, many officials and their family members came to visit, with only one purpose, which was to hope that the princess could get a flower sticker for their daughter of the right age to enter the palace to choose a concubine.
Princess Qing knew that the queen was still dissatisfied with her, so even though she was unhappy, she endured the reception of these ladies.
In order to prevent the queen from thinking that she still missed A-yi, she deliberately selected a few people and sent the list to the palace for the queen to review.
Moreover, she selected all ladies from prominent families in the capital, who were all excellent in appearance, character, cultivation, virtue, and talent.
The queen was very satisfied, left the list, and gave her several pieces of jewelry to the princess mansion.
After the Princess Qing thanked her, she turned around and gave the jewelry to the maid serving beside her.
It wasn't something expensive, she didn't care about it.
The queen has always been stingy with her gifts. In recent years, the princesses and princesses have only been given ordinary ornaments.
"Prince-in-law, are you back?" She was lost in thought when she heard the maid next to her call.
She raised her head and saw the consort in official uniform walking in. The consort was handsome, but he was a frail scholar.
What she dislikes most in her life is weak scholars.
But no matter how much she didn't like it, she didn't want to live in peace and be laughed at again.
"Come back?" She said softly, and seeing the angry look on his face, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zimo sat down, with a hint of anger on her fair face, "Donggong went to the household department to collect the money. I asked a few more questions, and Lord Wei gave me a look. Who does he think he is? But It’s just a dog in the East Palace.”
"Donggong withdraws money? Why?" Princess Qing didn't care at all that he was wronged, but was very concerned about the affairs of Donggong.
The maid served tea, and after Lin Zimo took a sip, she put her hands on her face to warm her frozen face, and hummed: "In the past three years, the East Palace has been going to the Household Department to withdraw a sum of money, and they didn't say anything. You know what it is used for, but if you don’t want others to know it, you have to do it yourself. Many officials are discussing this matter privately, saying that he is building the mausoleum for Leng Xiao."
Princess Qing's head buzzed and she suddenly stood up, "What? Is he building a mausoleum for Leng Xiao?"
Lin Zimo was a little stunned when he saw her so excited, "Princess, why are you so excited?"
"Leng Xiao hurt him, and he actually built Leng Xiao's grave? Is he crazy?" Princess Qing lost control and cursed.
Lin Zimo's eyes suddenly turned cold. Naturally, he had heard about her and the prince.
Normally no one would mention it, nothing happened to Bendang, after all, he needed her help in managing his career.
But this time she failed to control herself and he was disappointed in her.
His voice was slightly cold, "Princess, you don't need to get too excited. This is a matter of the East Palace. The money used to build the mausoleum is also the court's money. It has nothing to do with you or me."
