Walking out of Princess Lanling's study, Su Xian watched the groups of soldiers patrolling past, and he couldn't help but think of some words Zhou Ji's office had said to him.
That is a basic introduction to Princess Lanling's Mansion.
About money!
There is no doubt that Princess Lanling's daily expenses are extravagant, she has frequent visits and visits, and she maintains a group of subordinate officials and retainers in her mansion. In addition, it costs a lot to serve Her Majesty the Queen.
For example, selecting people to meet from all over the world...
In a word, the daily expenses of the Princess Mansion are too high, it is a dizzying number.
So, where does the silver come from?
In addition to the rewards from Her Majesty the Queen and the harvests on the farm, there is also the interest earned from operating various businesses, which is the bulk of the income of the Princess Palace.
Of course, Princess Lanling does not personally participate in the management, let alone her name. She does not even use the name of Princess Lanling's mansion. All businesses are run by servants or retainers in the mansion.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Because at the beginning of the founding of the Liang Dynasty, it was made clear that no dignitary or official in the court was allowed to engage in business, and if caught, the punishment would be very severe.
But today, especially after the Queen came to the country, the social atmosphere has changed drastically, and the dignitaries and officials of the court have also begun to do business secretly. This has almost become a common knowledge to passers-by...
Looking back, Su Xian thought to himself:
"With Princess Lanling's Mansion as your back, business will be successful, but...it seems that there are no good projects at the moment, so let's wait until later."
"..."
With something in mind, he strolled to the tent where the subordinate officers were handling official business, walked around in a circle, and finally escaped under the envious eyes of the subordinate officials.
When I returned home to Jiaolou Street in Yingzhou City, it was still early and everything was peaceful.
But the strange thing is that Chen Keyan completely stopped. She neither came out to greet him nor hid in the dark to spy on him. She was never seen.
This made Su Xian a little uncomfortable.
After learning from the maid that Chen Keyan was unwell and resting in bed, Su Xian didn't think much about it.
It was expected that the scene in that toilet that day had a great impact on her... But it was good, Chen Keyan no longer made trouble and went crazy, it did make him feel a lot calmer.
The next day.
Another boring day.
Su Xian slipped out of the marching camp early and returned to his home on Jiaolou Street.
In the past two days, he has been learning martial arts from Yang Zhilan, exercising, and strengthening his body...
Chen Keyan still didn't show up.
If it weren't for the beautiful figure he saw "running back to the room" when he went home today, Su Xian would have thought that Chen Keyan was no longer at home and had sneaked out to play.
Chen Keyan seemed to be avoiding him, which was strange... However, Su Xian still didn't think much about it, because this kind of life without being disturbed by crazy women was really comfortable!
In the blink of an eye, the time comes to night.
Su Xian climbed back through the wall next door, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, he looked at Yang Zhilan and said:
"I don't know how the 10,000 Liao troops have been dealt with. If the treatment is completed, Princess Lanling will return to the capital of the gods. Once she leaves, Chen Keyan will also return to Nanchen. Then there will be no need to work hard to climb the wall..."
"I don't know." Yang Zhilan's tone was indifferent and concise, and her true inner emotions could not be heard.
"I hope it can be solved sooner..." Su Xian fell asleep.
"..."
Yang Zhilan lay on the floor like a tree trunk, with her eyes open and lost in thought. After a long time, Su Xian's slight snoring came, and she slowly closed her eyes.
A peaceful night.
Have a good sleep.
Chenshi.
The sky is dim.
During this time, the temperature is comfortable, the air is fresh, and the city is the quietest. It should be the most comfortable time to sleep in.
But suddenly, Su Xian was awakened by a banging sound on the door.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xian sat up in confusion, narrowed his eyes, looked at Yang Zhilan who "rose" before him, and ordered: "Go and have a look."
"yes."
There was still a trace of sleepiness on Yang Zhilan's thin face. After accepting the order, she turned around and opened the door.
Su Xian lay back on the soft quilt with a "pop" sound, turned over and continued to sleep.
After a while, he was sleeping soundly and felt someone shaking his shoulders. Suddenly he woke up and squinted to see that it was Yang Zhilan who was back.
Su Xian managed to open his eyes and look at her.
Yang Zhilan looked at her expressionlessly, a thin little hand resting on Su Xian's shoulder.
The two stared at each other.
Finally, Su Xian rubbed his face and asked:
"What happened just now?"
"Princess Lanling sent someone to invite you. It's an urgent matter, and I want you to enter the camp immediately!"
"A person sent by the princess?"
"..."
Su Xian's heart moved slightly, and he turned to look at the sky outside the window.
The sky was only dimly lit, and it would take about an hour for it to get bright again.
What can't be solved until dawn?
Can't you delay it for even an hour?
Princess Lanling sent someone to invite her because she was afraid that something big had happened in the camp!
Thinking of this, Su Xian's heart suddenly stirred, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
He turned over and climbed up, putting on his shoes and asked, "What else did the person say? What big thing happened in the camp?"
Yang Zhilan looked expressionless and looked very calm, and replied: "According to what the visitor said, after nightfall last night, the 10,000 Liao troops evaporated at the same time, and none of them disappeared!"
"What did you say?!"
"..."
Su Xian was bending to put on his shoes. He paused when he heard this. He looked up at Yang Zhilan's extremely calm and thin face and asked in shock:
"Then ten thousand Liao troops evaporated at the same time last night? Not one of them disappeared?"
"good!"
"This is impossible!"
"..."
Su Xian frowned tightly and had no intention of putting on shoes. He stood up and looked at Yang Zhilan and said:
"As far as I know, in order to keep an eye on the 10,000 Liao troops, the princess sent tens of thousands of troops around the valley. It can be said that she has laid a dragnet..."
"The ten thousand Liao troops are neither too many nor too little. They want to disappear at the same time overnight. It is impossible not to alert the people who are ambushing around..."
"..."
Facing Su Xian's question, Yang Zhilan remained expressionless because she didn't know the answer either.
Su Xian reacted, suppressed the doubts in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Change your clothes first."
Dressed neatly, the two of them walked out quickly.
Kick, kick, kick!
While walking down the stairs to the first floor, the door to Chen Keyan's boudoir was quietly closed on the second floor.
Bi'er quickly returned to Chen Keyan's bedside, looked at the sleepy Chen Keyan and said:
"Princess, Master Su and Nuxia Yang went out together, and they were in a hurry."
"Strange, why are they so anxious to go out this early in the morning?" The sleepiness on Chen Keyan's pretty face gradually faded, she looked at Jian'er and ordered:
"Let the people who are going out to buy groceries today make inquiries. If Su Xian goes out early in the morning, something important must have happened."
"yes."
"..."
