Chapter 174 Gold is in hand!
Xiao Xiner was a smart guy. Seeing his mother's desire for gold, he ran over happily and stretched out his hand to ask Eunuch Cao to take the gold out for him.
Eunuch Cao picked up a gold ingot, bent down and said to him: "Grandson Xin, this gold is a bit heavy, you can't lift it. What do you want to do? This old servant will help you!"
"Give it to mother!" Little Xiner's baby voice rang out in the hall.
Everyone in the hall was stunned!
Eunuch Cao looked at the emperor with a stiff face.
Only after the emperor nodded did he dare to hand the heavy ingot of gold to Yu Jiuer.
Yu Jiuer felt mixed emotions!
Didn't she expect that one day she would be able to make money from her own children?
However, this is still a good idea.
The people of Yinshan are almost starving to death, why is she still being so pretentious?
Thinking of this, she immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude, then picked up Xiao Xiner and kissed him again and again.
Xiao Jing'er felt itchy in his heart when he saw this, and he also wanted his mother to kiss and hug him.
So he ran towards the box of gold, pointing at the gold and then at Yu Jiuer, meaning that this box was a gift to his mother.
Yu Jiuer buried her face in Xiao Xiner's chest and lowered her head to hide the triumphant smile on the corner of her mouth.
She gave birth to the child, how could she not know the child's little thoughts?
This box of gold will just be able to solve Yinshan County's urgent needs, and the people will no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold this winter.
Which is more important, face or the people of Yinshan?
She decisively chose the latter.
The emperor's face froze. He didn't care how much gold was given to his grandson, but he was unwilling to let an outsider get so little.
He already regretted having casually arranged this marriage for his son in order to test whether he was a homosexual. In addition, last night, Xiang Fei had whispered in his ear about how the Yinshan people were, which made him despise Yu Jiuer, the Yinshan person, even more.
As hesitant, Xiao Jing'er's face showed sadness, her little mouth pursed, and she was about to burst into tears.
The emperor took a glance and was shocked. How could this be tolerated?
He was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. He waved his hand and said, "Give it, give it, give it. All the gold will be given to your mother! My dear grandpa, don't be sad!"
Yay! Gold!
Yu Jiuer pretended to be reserved, and after a moment of hesitation, she leaned forward and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord! Long live the emperor!"
The princess looked disdainful and sneered, "Sure enough, he is from a small place..."
Jun Mo shot her a cold look, and she angrily stopped her venomous mouth that was about to spit shit.
The Empress Dowager who came later was even more fond of her two little great-grandsons. She couldn't bear to take her eyes off them and the smile on her face never faded.
She said to Jun Mo, "Mo'er, let the two children stay in the palace to accompany the Royal Grandmother! The Royal Grandmother is old, and it's rare to see her!"
Before Jun Mo could say anything, the emperor said forcefully, "This is the first time I'm meeting them, so I'll let them stay in the palace for a while! You guys go back to Prince Jing's Mansion first!"
Although Yu Jiuer was reluctant, she could not go against the emperor's will.
The four maids Chun'er, Xia'er, Qiu'er and Dong'er are personal maids who have been taking care of the two children and are familiar with the children's habits.
The children also trusted them, and in order to prevent the children from getting uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment for the first time, the four of them were left in the palace to take care of the two children together.
Chun'er had been to the palace with the former imperial physician before, so she knew the palace etiquette and was relatively calm.
But the other three maids were somewhat frightened, fearing that they might lose their heads if they were not careful.
When they arrived in the capital, nothing could be decided by these humble servants.
Before leaving, Yu Jiuer explained some precautions to them and comforted them before leaving with peace of mind.
In this palace, the person Yu Jiuer fears the most is Concubine Xiang.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. I hope she won't take the risk and attack the little emperor's grandson.
Jun Mo saw Yu Jiuer's worry and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry! Father will arrange experts to protect the child day and night. He is more nervous about the child than we are! No need to worry!"
Yu Jiuer nodded. She was also helpless in the face of imperial power.
After getting on the carriage, Yu Jiuer was thinking about the two boxes of gold, so she said to Jun Mo: "Your Majesty, let's change the gold into silver notes and send them to Yinshan County first!"
"What? Are you anxious now?" Jun Mo's eyes were full of mischief.
Yu Jiuer pouted and said, "How can I not be anxious? When we left, all the crops in Yinshan County were eaten by locusts. Even though the locust plague was eradicated later, it delayed planting. I'm afraid that the little money I saved has already been used up."
Jun Mo couldn't bear to tease her any more, rubbed her head, and said frankly: "Don't worry! Li Yun will take care of it! I left some silver for him before I left!"
Yu Jiuer stared at Jun Mo with her mouth wide open, deeply moved.
She threw herself into his arms and acted like a spoiled child: "My Lord, you are the person who understands me best and treats me the best! How can you be so kind? How can I repay you?"
Jun Mo hugged her tightly and took the opportunity to ask for more: "Promise yourself to me and serve me well in return!"
Yu Jiuer pinched his strong waist with shame: "I gave you the face, right?"
"Do you want to murder your husband?" Without his son getting in the way, Jun Mo pressed her down on the carriage seat without hesitation and bent down to kiss her.
After the passionate kiss, Yu Jiuer panted and said, "It is not easy for the prince to support the Yulin Army, the troops stationed on the Miao border, and perhaps other troops that I don't know about.
From now on, I will work hard to support the people of Yinshan and will never burden the prince again!"
"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours! You and I have long been inseparable, there's no need to separate us so clearly! If you really want to thank me, just work harder tonight!"
Yu Jiuer said coquettishly: "Pervert!"
After the two of them had a good time, Jun Mo suddenly became serious: "Jiu'er, you will be the concubine for now. When I have made plans, I will ask my father to promote you to Princess Jing. You will be my legal wife!"
Yu Jiuer held his face and comforted him: "My lord, as long as you have me in your heart, your position is not important! I only care about you, my lord!"
Yu Jiuer is so confident at this moment, I wonder if she will still be so steadfast after entering Prince Jing's Mansion.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the huge Prince Jing's mansion.
She passed by here during her scientific expedition and stood outside the door, looking inside curiously.
At that time, I was still thinking: A prince’s mansion is so luxurious, I’m afraid she won’t be able to afford to live there in her entire life?
Who would have thought that with the passage of time, she would actually become the mistress of this mansion?
Even though she was a concubine, Yu Jiuer had already determined in her heart her unshakable position as the mistress!
After getting off the carriage, a large group of servants lined up neatly at the door, kneeling on the ground to welcome him!
"Welcome, Your Majesty! Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Yu Gui Concubine?
The corners of Yu Jiuer's mouth twitched...it really doesn't sound good!
She seriously doubted whether she was wrong not to care about her status.
At least the title of concubine sounds better than that of a noble concubine, right?
If Jun Mo knew that she only wanted to get promoted because of the bad title, would he be disappointed?
The Prince Jing's Mansion in the capital is more than ten times larger than the Prince Jing's Mansion in Yinshan County!
Yu Jiuer originally thought that Jun Mo had been away for nearly three years and the mansion had no one to take care of it, so it would be overgrown with weeds and filled with dust.
After all, how could a prince who was in poverty have the extra energy to send people to clean and look after the old mansion?
But when she stepped into the palace, she found that it was still luxurious. Every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree had someone to take care of it. Even on a winter day in November, it was still full of flowers and greenery.
This kind of splendor cannot be achieved overnight!
In order to show that he didn't care about her in front of others, Jun Mo tried his best to distance himself from her.
After getting off the carriage, he walked in front with his hands behind his back, pretending to be nonchalant and ordered: "Butler Feng, settle Concubine Yu in Xilan Courtyard, and you can arrange the rest!"
Afterwards, Yu Jiuer truly witnessed the luxurious life of the ancient royal family.
As a noble concubine, she was given a large courtyard. The flower hall and the house were luxuriously decorated, and the floor was covered with soft carpets.
That would be fine, but she was also assigned eight maids and two eunuchs to serve her?
Even her sworn sister Yutao has an independent courtyard not far from her Xilan Courtyard, with two maids and a servant to serve her?
What a spendthrift!
This is the difference between Yinshan and the capital.
The gap is so huge, who can she turn to for justice?
