Chen said arrogantly: "Last night, I sent it to the King of Jin's Mansion, and a total of 100,000 yuan of money was drawn to cash."

Hearing the three words "100,000 guan", the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smack her tongue: "So many?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I made some money in Xixia, so it is appropriate to give some gifts." He said, "I have never understood the worldly style and the rules of giving gifts. So I directly sent the gifts to the King of Jin, and I was too lazy to buy the gifts, so I just took the money and bought whatever he liked."

If Chen Ao doesn't know how to give gifts, that would be really stupid and naive. Chen Ao's generous gift made the Empress Dowager smile and said repeatedly: "Okay, very good."

The Queen Mother's favorite son was the queen mother's most beloved son. She was afraid of melting when she held it in her mouth, and was afraid of falling in her palm. The Queen Mother's favorite thing was to save some monthly routines and secretly stuff it to the King of Jin's mansion. She was always afraid that the King of Jin's mansion would be short of money to spend. In fact, the King of Jin's mansion had enough money and food every month, and the rewards in the palace were enough to squander the King of Jin at will, but in the heart of the Queen Mother, she always felt that it was not enough.

Now Chen Ao shook his hand and threw it out 100,000 yuan, just throwing it into the Queen Mother's heart, making the Queen Mother feel extremely comfortable.

Chen Ao patted his chest and said, "If the King of Jin is short of money in the future, he will come to me, Chen Ao, and I will eat a bite of rice... The King of Jin's meat porridge is indispensable. Money is something outside of your body, so you will naturally spend it together if you have money." He thought to himself that one day Ziheng passed the door, his one would be mine. Now I will send it out and move it back when the time comes, and just change your left hand to your right hand.

The Empress Dowager repeatedly said: "This is a good thing. It is all my family. The Ai family has always regarded Chen Ao as their family."

Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Next time on the birthday of King Jin, I will send another 600,000 yuan." Then he continued in a very generous manner: "I want to send a golden peach, which must be so tall as one person and weigh 300 kilograms. I wish King Jin a great blessing to the heavens."

The queen mother covered her mouth and smiled, "No need to be such a big peach, no need..." The next sentence made Chen Ao blush for her: "It's all discounted, and it saves you trouble."

Chen Ao was sweating profusely, thinking that his mother would really take any shame for her son. She looked at An Ning, and An Ning pursed her lips and smiled, Yanran said, "Looking at him like this, it's no different from that Zheng."

The Empress Dowager immediately defended Chen Ao and said, "It's different, different. Zheng feeds pearl powder to pigs, and Chen Ao respects his future father-in-law, which is equivalent to respecting the Ai family." Then she thought, it seemed that it was almost the same. Wouldn't she treat the Ai family and the King of Jin as pigs?

Chen Ao said seriously: "I heard someone outside the palace say that Concubine Zheng is going to be named Concubine? Empress Dowager, can you let me know in advance? If the news is taken seriously, I must prepare some gifts to the Zheng Mansion to make friends, right?"

The Queen Mother suddenly fell silent and said, "Who did you hear this news from?"

Chen Ao said in surprise: "Is it because of rumors?"

The Queen Mother sneered coldly: "I'm afraid this is not groundless."

Chen Ao said: "The Queen Mother just pretends that I didn't ask, haha... Why didn't the Queen Mother play Que'er cards today?"

The empress dowager pursed her lips, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and then she said relaxedly: "It was all that Concubine Zheng, who was going to fight, but she had sent a pearl flower, which delayed her kung fu." She had been smiling from ear to ear when she got the pearl flower before, and now she even had a guilty gift. If Concubine Zheng knew, she would be stunned.

Chen Ao said, "I will come to fight with the Queen Mother in a few days, but it's time to go back at this time, hey..." He sighed and said, "Something happened at home. You can't go back too late, so as not to worry the women."

The Queen Mother said lightly: "What you are talking about is Duke Qiguo?"

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "It is unnecessary to say that my uncle is loyal to His Majesty. Now he is framed and is still in prison. He is a dignified Duke. He has never suffered any hardship in his life, but he has eaten up all his sufferings today. And my aunt is the most humble person. He always worships Buddha, blesses me in the Song Dynasty, blesses the Queen Mother's health, and his Majesty's health, who knows..." Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows that God will do anything to others! Empress Dowager, I will leave first."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel moved and said, "The Ai family has also heard about this, saying that the merchants refused to sell grain or stored grain, right?"

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't sell it, but that you force people to buy it hundreds of times. A bucket of rice is willing to exchange it for money. My uncle is an imperial envoy, and the money in his hand is also from the treasury. If they are really allowed, wouldn't the court give the money to these illegal profiteers in boxes?"

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "This is a fate. No matter what, if you say it, you should be severely punished if you are not good at doing things in the country."

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Among the merchants in Huaizhou, it is said that Zheng is the leader. Speaking of which, without Zheng, Duke Qiguo will not punish a few profiteers. The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has issued an order to investigate the Taiyuan corruption case in a few days. I will say hello to the Empress Dowager here first. After all, Zheng is also a relative of the foreign country. If I really find out that it has something to do with them, I can only do it for the business."

The Empress Dowager was just unhappy with Zheng's extravagance, and did not protect him at this time. She just said, "Since it is Your Majesty's will, then you can go and investigate!" She said coldly: "There is an Ai family in the palace, and the Ai family wants to see who can support them."

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "I will be able to do it with the Queen Mother's words."

After saying that, after farewell to the Queen Mother and An Ning, Chen Ao went from the palace.

The Empress Dowager was talking non-local and said something in unison with An Ning. After some experience in An's fertility, she helped An Ning back to rest. She slowly sat cross-legged on the couch, and her whole body became solemn, and said lightly: "Call Jingde."

Jingde trotted in and bowed and said, "What are the Queen Mother's instructions?"

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Mrs. Zheng is from Huaizhou, right?"

Jing Dehe nodded and said, "This slave knows a little, he is indeed from Huaizhou."

The Queen Mother said slowly: "It is said that they are rich enough to compete with the country, and they are extravagant and have great desires. Do you know this?"

Jingde was silent for a moment, the word "extravagance" was a bit amazing if it was said from the empress dowager. Who wouldn't know that the empress dowager has always been frugal? Although he had to pay thrifty money to his youngest son, he had developed a habit and naturally did not like those generous styles. However, Zheng was the family of Concubine Zheng, so the empress dowager asked why this was for?

After all, Jingde is a very smart person. After just thinking about it, he understood. It must be Chen Ao that said something in front of the empress dowager just now. In fact, Jingde has always been well-behaved to everyone in the palace, and this is true to Yang Jian and Concubine Zheng. Who doesn’t know that Concubine Zheng has been doting by His Majesty recently? Today it made him embarrassed. If he nodded this head, he would offend Concubine Zheng. But if he didn’t nod, it might not be necessary when the King of Pingxi and Yang Jian joined forces to tear the bridge for him to cross the river.

Besides, he and Shen Ao finally had some friendship, and could not completely ignore the feelings. He hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the treasure on Chen Ao. The favor in this palace was changed every three or two years? One concubine was favored by others, and one by one ignored him. However, Chen Ao was different from Yang Jian. Not to mention that Yang Jian followed His Majesty for decades, he was Chen Ao. Now he is both the prince-in-law and the King of Pingxi. The holy family is prosperous. This is the real iron wall. Squatting down to enjoy the cool air, it is much better than Concubine Zheng. Although Concubine Zheng is in full bloom, who knows whether she will die in the next moment?

Jingde said lightly: "Zheng is the richest man in Jiangbei. I heard that his house is not worse than this palace. It is said that his servants are all thousands of servants, and seven out of the land in Huaizhou belong to his family."

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "It's true. I heard from the Ai family that there are rumored outside that Concubine Zheng is going to join the Fourth Lady?"

If he was still hesitant at first, Jingde would not hesitate anymore, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he said, "I have heard of this, saying that Concubine Xian is about to finish."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother smiled with interest and said, "Concubine Xian is going to be finished?"

Jingde smiled dryly and said, "Isn't that true? Now that Qiguo Duke has been punished, what else can Virtue be defeated? Many people say that if Virtue is finished, the Virtue's position will definitely be Zheng's." He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that the tiger in Zheng's palace has started to move up and down. Now many people are flattering him, saying that this tiger will definitely be ascended to heaven in the future."

The Queen Mother said, "Is that so? Can an eunuch make people flatter you?"

Jingde smiled embarrassedly: "Who doesn't flatter anyone who can be good? Sometimes a slave is more effective than a master's words."

The Queen Mother suddenly said, "Where are you, are you the same?"

Jingde suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing today and said with a bitter face: "How dare the slave?"

The Empress Dowager said, "You don't have to be afraid. The Ai family just asked casually. This tiger is really not a good thing. The nobles are all good. Maybe these things are bad. Jingde, you take two people to rob the tiger and beat thirty boards." Then the Empress Dowager said leisurely: "Turn out of the palace again."

Jingde's heart was beating violently, beating Hu Zi... This does not mean beating Concubine Zheng in the face? What is the Empress Dowager going to do?

Jingde dared not say anything, responded immediately and walked out quickly.

"You...you..." Jingde pointed to the two guards in front of the hall, and became bolder at this time. What is Hu Zi? Behind him is Eunuch Yang, King Pingxi, and Empress Dowager. Not to mention Hu Zi, he was not afraid even in front of Concubine Zheng.

The place where Concubine Zheng lived was Qingyun Pavilion, which was originally the place where the old concubine lived. Concubine Zheng moved here later. Concubine Zheng was not extravagant in the palace, but was very frugal, and even sewed her clothes by herself. For this, the empress dowager once praised a few words. Now this small building is the same. It is very quiet, elegant without being extravagant, and the courtyard is even more fresh and unique, clean and neat.

An eunuch stood at the door, obviously knowing Jingde, and came over with a smile and greeted, "Why is the father-in-law Jingde interested? Could it be that the queen mother asked Concubine Zheng to speak?"
