Chapter 456 Merit Monument +14
The father-in-law received Xie Yuan's order, and immediately sent the list to the queen, "Your majesty, your majesty said that you and the eldest princess can leak some news in advance, so that those who do not want to be married to Anlehou's mansion can get married." You can just find an excuse to miss the flower viewing feast."
Queen: "... I know."
Very good, as expected, His Majesty the Emperor of their family still has the familiar recipe and taste.
She conveyed Xie Yuan's meaning to Princess Zhaoqing, and Princess Zhaoqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
"Brother, have you forgotten that this is the first time I hold a flower viewing banquet?" Princess Zhaoqing frowned and complained to Xie Yuan, "It is impossible for me to invite only these forty-six people."
Whether it's her or Pei Huaiyu, they all need to make some connections. Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for her to hold a flower appreciation banquet for the first time, and only invite An Lehou's fiancée candidate.
The queen is more careful than Xie Yuan. She has already considered this issue. She suggested to Princess Zhaoqing, "Why don't you post two kinds of posts with different textures suppressed? Peach blossom style for the forty-six people, lotus flower style to others."
Eldest Princess Zhaoqing thought for a while, "That's fine, I'll ask the nanny in charge of sending the post to give hints to the forty-six people."
She planned to ask the old nuns around her to hand over the post to the girl herself, so that the girl would not attend her flower viewing banquet without knowing it because her family was kept in the dark.
The two aunts and sisters-in-law discussed it properly, and Princess Zhaoqing ordered the food box she brought into the palace to be delivered to the queen, "This is the hottest drink and snack sold at the newly opened refreshment shop in the UK. I brought some for it. You and the emperor have a try."
The queen looked over with great interest, "I heard that the British government plans to spend all the profits from the refreshment shop on paving roads, repairing bridges, and building wharves?"
Princess Zhaoqing nodded, "She also sold most of the make-up and gifts she received when she and An Guogong got married."
Queen:? ? ?
The queen suspected that she had heard wrong.
She just picked up a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice, ready to take a sip to taste the taste, when she heard what Princess Zhaoqing said, she hurriedly put the watermelon juice back on the table.
Forget it, she'd better drink it later, otherwise she would be humiliated if she lost her manners in front of her sister-in-law.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and asked Princess Zhaoqing for confirmation with an unbelievable expression, "You just said."
Princess Zhaoqing nodded silently, her little expression seemed to say, don't doubt, there is nothing wrong with your ears.
Queen: ".Who did she sell the makeup and congratulatory gifts?"
"Except for the emperor's brother's, grandmother's and queen mother's, you and other concubines, and her and An Guogong's relatives and friends, she sold everything else."
Queen: The British princess is really good, she can always refresh her inherent cognition of her_(:з」∠)_
She asked Princess Zhaoqing anxiously, "Those who gave them gifts must hate her to death, right? Isn't she blatantly hitting people in the face?"
Princess Zhaoqing said "What are you thinking?" She said to the queen: "What are you hating? It's too late for those people to appreciate her. If it wasn't for Da Qilu's express regulations, the things bestowed by the emperor should not be sold. Brothers want to imply that she will sell the makeup and congratulatory gifts that she bestowed on her."
Queen:? ? ?
Princess Zhaoqing revealed the answer, "Do you know what she wants to do by selling those things? Pave roads, build bridges, and build docks."
The queen still didn't quite understand, "Even so, those who gave gifts to her and Duke An would feel ashamed?"
She used the gifts she received to pave roads, build bridges, and build docks, and gained a good reputation, but those who gave them gifts were slapped in the face. Who could not be angry?
Princess Zhaoqing said: "If the British government just sold the things they sent, then they would really lose face. But the problem is that whether the British government builds bridges or paves roads, as long as the bridges are repaired and the roads are paved Well, she will set up a monument of meritorious deeds on the side of the road or by the bridge to those who have given money."
This kind of good thing that can make them famous all over the world, and even make them famous in future generations, who of them will get angry?
Let’s not talk about others, she is the eldest princess who relies on her own brother to lie down and win. She wants to wave her little hand and send a stack of bank notes to the British government to pave roads and build bridges_(:з」∠)_
Princess Zhaoqing was thinking about it when she saw her usually calm and dignified sister-in-law suddenly stand up.
While walking quickly towards her bedroom, she still didn't forget to turn her head and tell Princess Zhaoqing, "Zhaoqing, wait for me a moment."
Princess Zhaoqing was at a loss. What's the matter?
She didn't have any doubts for too long, and in less than half an hour, the queen who had gone and returned stuffed a box to Princess Zhaoqing who was staring at her with questioning eyes, "These Give it to the British Duke for me."
Princess Zhaoqing: "Good."
She decided that she would also like to be an activist, and when she returned to the Princess Mansion, she would organize some belongings and send them to the British Duke.
Ah, by the way, and her brother, maybe she can make a detour to the Qinzheng Palace before leaving the palace~
Ye Anlan, who is busy recruiting skilled craftsmen and female celebrities to make children's toys, doesn't know that soon she will have a large amount of "special funds for paving roads and bridges" from the royal family.
Inspired by the empress, Princess Zhaoqing not only took a large sum of money to Ye Anlan herself, but also kindly helped to bring along the "special funds for paving roads and bridges" from Xie Yuan, their parents and grandmother.
When she delivered several boxes of gold, silver and silver bills, Ye Anlan was busy directing the embroiderer in the mansion to sew Q-version twelve zodiac dolls.
Hearing that the servants told Princess Zhaoqing to visit, Ye Anlan casually patted on her clothes twice before rushing to pick her up.
Princess Zhaoqing didn't use her princess ceremonial guard, she smiled and supported Ye Anlan who was about to salute her, and then took the arm of Ye Anlan who was not familiar with her at all, "Ye Anlan Sister, I'm here to give you money."
Ye Anlan:? ? ? No, who is your sister Ye? I don't dare to casually associate with your Xie family _(:з」∠)_ Also, you are an extremely favored eldest princess, why do you suddenly want to send me money?
Princess Zhaoqing explained with some embarrassment, "That's right. You are short of money to build roads and bridges."
Ye Anlan: Oh, she understands.
She let the eldest princess Zhaoqing into the flower hall to take a seat, "Princess, wait a moment, I will have someone register the things you sent."
Without her ordering, the nurse in charge who heard the conversation between the two has already gone to the accountant.
