Now that the amulet is gone, it can be foreseen how much of a blow it will be to her.

Li Xian is now extremely glad that this woman did not reveal her true purpose. Otherwise, those eunuchs would not only be enforcing royal family laws.

Glancing at the diva who was still a bit sulky, Li Xian knew that for this woman, there were some things she could do, but after she had done them, if she saw others doing them again, she would only kill them.

Mrs. Fang helped Ms. Zhang go out. Looking at their leaving figures, Li Xian sighed and turned around and said to the Queen: "Mother, please calm down. When this woman figures it out some other time, I will ask her to go to the palace and give it to you." Please forgive me."

Seeing Li Xian's expectant look, the Queen snorted coldly: "That's all, for your sake, my mother is not as knowledgeable as her. But Xian'er, you have only been a wife and a concubine until now. It's really less, so why not For mother and for you again..."

Li Xian quickly handed over his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness. However, Mrs. Fang has no heirs yet. When Mrs. Fang gives birth to her eldest son, it will not be too late for you to make decisions for your son."

Thinking about Fang's flat belly during this period, the Queen was dissatisfied and said: "Fang's belly has not moved at all these years, how could she get pregnant so easily. If it doesn't work, I can't even give her a child by then. That’s it.”

Li Xiancai wanted to object, but Li Zhi, who had been silent, spoke:

"There is no rush in choosing Liangdi. Let him try it with Fang. Although the child can be adopted, it is still far behind the real eldest son."

Although matters involving children are within the scope of the queen's responsibilities, the emperor's words can usually be regarded as the final word.

The Queen of Heaven gave the Emperor a helpless look and could only give up.

Thinking about the heir, she looked at Li Xian again, feeling very guilty.

Zhang's reaction was so violent, the father would not be much different. Although everyone (the emperor) may have already compensated the child, she couldn't help but want to compensate some more.

Thinking of this, Tianhou sat upright and said, "What I said to Mrs. Zhang is also for you. Xian'er, if you have any needs, just tell me. I will definitely agree."

Absolutely yes?

Hearing this word, Li Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought over and over again about the emperor's promise and decided to use it to save Wang Bo.

If the trajectory of history is normal, this unlucky guy will fall into the water and die next year. If it takes a little longer, who knows if anyone can be saved.

It was a good opportunity to cry for poverty and use it to save others. Li Xian had already prepared to find an opportunity to shamelessly ask the empress for money, but who knew, the opportunity would come.

Li Xian's undisguised greedy expression was seen by the emperor and empress.

The queen's smile became a little bitter. She was really afraid that Li Xian would make too difficult a request.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, smiled slightly. He wanted to know what kind of request made this child look like this.

With a chuckle, Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "Since my mother-in-law has said it, then my son and I will also say it."

The Queen smiled bitterly and said: "Tell me, since I am so proud of Haikou, I will agree no matter how difficult it is."

Hearing this answer, Li Xian couldn't laugh or cry.

No, why didn't you choose your words carefully when you were bragging, and now you are reminding me not to go too far?

Although the queen showed weakness, Li Xian still expressed his request: "My request is very simple. I just want to ask for some money from my mother-in-law. You are the queen and you are in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why don't you want it from Aye?" It’s not as convenient as asking you.”

"Just money?"

The Queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's just money, why should I commit such a serious matter? Have you forgotten that I asked Yu Xinghai to tell you a long time ago that if you have any needs, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Li Zhi frowned and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean it's more convenient to be with me than with your mother? If you are short of money, just ask me. Can I still give it to you?"

Li Xian smiled and said: "Aye, you are a saint. If your sons and ministers always ask you for money, it is inevitable that ministers will accuse you of doting on the prince. It is different with A Niang. It involves harem affairs. No one dared to say anything."

After saying that, Li Xian looked at the Queen of Heaven, stretched out one finger, thought for a moment, and then stretched out another one and said: "Auntie, Prince Yong's Mansion is very big, and we can't keep asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs for expenses. So, Erchen wants to find two businessmen on his own to do some business under the palace and make money. But if you want to do business, you can't do it without capital. So, Erchen has the audacity to ask you for 20,000 yuan, do you think it's okay?"

Twenty thousand guan, in later generations, is equivalent to about two million yuan.

This is definitely not a small amount of money, of course, only in the current market, even for the national treasury.

But for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although 20,000 yuan is a lot, it is not painful.

Twenty thousand dollars...

Seeing Li Xianda lowering his demand even if he had a disagreement, the Queen smiled slightly and held out four fingers: "Whenever you want 40,000 guan, just send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it. As for whether you want to do business, There is always the risk of losing money. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. If your salary is not enough, you come to your mother to ask for it. It is only natural that children ask their parents for money. If any courtier dares to talk too much, I will definitely spit in his face! "

If it were an ordinary prince, the Queen would never boast like this. Li Xian is different. For someone who is about to become a prince, his salary is definitely not enough. If he gritted his teeth and persisted, that was the last thing she wanted to see.

Li Xian didn't know what the queen was thinking. It could be said that she wished she could fail in business and then often come to her to ask for money.

After all, eating people has a short mouth and taking people has short hands. The more kindness you owe, the more you will have to repay in the future.

Nodding with a smile, Li Xian said: "Don't worry, grandma, if I fail, as long as I don't have enough money, I will shamelessly ask you for it. Just don't be annoyed when you arrive."

"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of trouble. I'm just afraid that you won't come to ask for it."

....

Seeing the queen and Xian'er chatting happily, Li Zhi couldn't help but be surprised. In fact, regarding Li Xian becoming the crown prince, one concern that he has not eliminated is the relationship between Li Xian and the Queen.

You know, when Li Xian was a child, his relationship with the Queen was very tense. It was so tense that as long as the matter was spread out of the palace, Li Xian's throne might not be preserved.

Although the Queen is only a queen, who knows if she will have a bad influence on Li Xian's succession to the crown prince?

Now, seeing the harmony between mother and son, with no grudges at all, Li Zhi's last worry was gone.

In this way, it should be smooth for a prince who caters to most people's wishes to be crowned prince.
