Madam, please give me some advice

Chapter 166: If you want to make money right at your doorstep, you should take advantage of it.

Sheng Xia Ge saw this, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat with fear, so he quickly stepped forward to help;

"Sister Le, Sister Le, they are princesses, their bodies are different from ours, they need to rest, just wait for two days! Anyway, I have been waiting for so long."

After that, he smiled and said, "Daughter of the Third Emperor, please don't mind her pleasure. She just saw that I was disturbed and was worried. I hope you don't mind it."

The Third Princess looked at Ji Xingle intently, wanting to see if she was serious. Ji Xingle looked back at her calmly.

Finally, the Third Princess gave in and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Sheng Xia Ge saw this and said anxiously, "Hey, hey, hey, no, no, why are you leaving again suddenly?"

"Sister Le, Sister Le, don't be so anxious. The princess' health is the most important thing."

Ji Xingle knocked Sheng Xiage on the forehead...

"hiss......"

"Sister Le, why did you hit me?"

"She's injured, but her dear mother probably doesn't know the reason yet, right? If she doesn't take this opportunity to play the victim, she won't know if she'll have enough leverage when her injury heals.

Do you want the fifth prince to bother you by then?

Also, while he is still in a coma, the Third Princess should hurry to the palace to increase our hope."

Sheng Xia Ge was happy to see Ji Xingle caring so much about her. She glanced at the Third Princess and was relieved to see that she looked normal.

Hearing this, the Third Princess' mouth twitched. Is it true that my injury is not worth your concern?

"Someone, change clothes..."

"Yes......"

Seeing this, Ji Xingle asked the palace servant to move the tea to the main hall. He then took the opportunity to take out a handful of improved rice from his sleeve, wrapped it in cloth, handed it to the third princess, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Afterwards, he and Sheng Xiage sat down and waited for the third princess to bring back good news.

The Third Princess happily took the things and shook her head in resignation, "Ah..."

The corners of Yan Ming's mouth rose slightly, thinking that Lady Ji was the bravest. Then he nodded to Ji Xingle and escorted the third princess into the palace.

In order to make things go more smoothly, the third princess spent a lot of money and wore light-colored clothes, which now had a hint of light red.

"Cough cough..."

When the Queen saw her like this, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The Third Princess coughed again and said, "Two days ago, on my way back home, I was chased by a group of men in black. I couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder."

When the Queen heard about the assassination, she paused, pondered for a moment and then said, "Have you found the person?"

"There are some clues, but I'm not sure yet."

When the Queen heard her say this, combined with some of the things she had heard before, she had already guessed something. Her face darkened and she glanced at the third brother beside her.

The third princess was sitting aside because she was injured. Seeing that the empress had not responded for a long time, she clenched her fists nervously.

"What brings you here today?"

The Third Princess felt her heart sink when she saw the Queen just skipping the topic so lightly, then she took a deep breath and said;

"I heard that the fifth son was pestering the daughter of the Sheng family again and even ruined her good fortune today. Because I was in the wrong, I was so angry that I fainted.

It just so happened that Lady Sheng’s friend, the Tong Shou, was also present at the scene and saw the whole process, so she stood up for her friend and came to my side to ask for help.

———She wanted to use potatoes and sweet potato seeds to help us contain the fifth child. I think the fifth child is indeed old enough to get married.

He has been pursuing the lady of the Sheng family for many years, and it has become known to everyone. If the lady of the Sheng family is determined not to marry him, other officials may not be willing to marry him either.

It just so happens that the two countries will exchange friendship with Japan in the middle of next month, and I think this is a good opportunity."

After the third princess finished speaking, she waited nervously for the queen's reply.

The Queen listened to the Third Princess' words and understood. She also knew what the Fifth Prince had done. It was indeed a headache. Her protection over the years had caused complaints from the people below.

She also guessed the thoughts of the officials and was waiting for bargaining chips. She also had this idea. She loved him, but she was not confused about how to choose between the country and the children. It seemed that her third child had grown up.

However, if she didn't take some of the benefits that her third son brought to her, she would be losing out.

The Queen said solemnly;

"You have to know that I have always held the fifth child in my hands. You want to use this unknown thing to trick me into sending my beloved child away. Aren't you underestimating me too much?"

"But didn't the Queen Mother try potatoes and sweet potatoes before?"

“Are your potatoes ready to harvest?”

"No..."

"Have you planted your sweet potatoes?"

"No, but..."

The Queen interrupted in a deep voice, "Isn't that enough? Isn't it just an unknown variable?

If you don't have anything more valuable, then don't talk about it anymore.

Lao Wu is your younger brother after all. If you don't help your younger brother but help others, will our royal family still have face if this gets out?"

The third princess frowned. She was really dumb! She couldn't argue with her mother. Why didn't her mother think that having two kinds of food was already amazing?

Why was Xingle so sure that she would fail?

No, the Third Princess mustered up her courage and looked at the Queen calmly;

"Then, have you ever thought about how you should give an explanation to Prime Minister Sheng about this incident? The Fifth Prince has already messed up her granddaughter's affairs more than once.

Mother Queen, do you think they can continue to let you get away with this incident?

Moreover, the fifth brother fainted due to anger, which shows how angry the lady of the Sheng family was at that time.

Her friend Ji Tongshou originally didn't want to be noticed, but he was forced to be exposed. The Queen Mother thinks that even if the son doesn't say anything this time, can the fifth son escape?"

The Queen listened to the words of the Third Princess, squinted her eyes and looked at the Third Princess, tapping the table with her hands, "Da Da Da..."

I was thinking, when did this third child become so eloquent? It seems that he is getting harder to deceive as he gets older.

When the Queen knocked on the table, the Third Princess' heart trembled, but she still stood there pretending to be calm.

Came the Queen's irresistible voice;

"I am the queen. I have the final say in the whole country. If I can't protect my own son, then what kind of queen am I?"

"You are the queen, but isn't the most important thing for a queen to win the hearts of the people?

You always indiscriminately protect Lao Wu. Aren't you afraid of losing the support of the people after a while?"

"——Bold"

When the Third Princess heard the Queen's furious voice, she ignored the pain in her shoulder and quickly knelt on the ground, "Mother Queen, calm down."

"Humph!"

"You have grown stronger now."

"I don't dare."

"I am also thinking about the Queen Mother's kingdom. In my heart, the Queen Mother has always been a hero. I don't want the Queen Mother's image to be damaged because of the Fifth Brother's incident.

I also don’t want this matter to discourage the old ministers who have served the country, so I implore the Queen Mother to think twice.”
