Ci Jinzhi Chapter 329

 In the picture, what she saw were his **** injuries and his bitten lip due to the pain.

Three sticks, there should be no broken skin, right?

Xinyou looked down.

"Miss Xin." He Qingxiao pulled her gaze back in time, "Get in the car quickly, don't keep the eldest princess waiting."

 “Did Mr. He come on foot?”

"He's coming on horseback. The horse is tied in front." He Qingxiao pointed forward. In fact, we can only lead the horse and walk back. Although there are only three sticks, it is not convenient to ride on it for the time being.

“The eldest princess asked you to take the carriage from the eldest princess' mansion back.”

 “It's better not to pollute the eldest princess's car.” He Qingxiao refused. Seeing that Xin You wanted to persuade her again, she said softly, “It's not a bad thing to suffer some hardships.”

As a man, it was not difficult for him to detect from the emperor's anger that part of it came from the father's worry that his daughter would suffer a loss.

 He was willing to be punished for it.

“I know—” Xin You's voice was also soft.

 She just couldn't act completely rationally towards him.

 She realized this very clearly when she couldn't help but jump off the carriage heading to the Princess's Mansion.

 In the future, she may stay in the capital for a long time, being at the center of power and facing constant disputes. Since she couldn't completely ignore his danger, she might as well let that person know how much she valued this life-saving grace from the beginning.

 “Miss Xin, get in the car.”

Facing He Qingxiao's urging, Xin You nodded slightly: “Master He, take good care of your injuries.”

He Qingxiao went there with Xin You to express his gratitude to Princess Zhaoyang.

Princess Zhaoyang could not persuade her, so she had to give up.

As the carriage drove by, Princess Zhaoyang leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed: "Although Marquis Changle is young, he has been very measured since he was a child."

  She had also taken care of the child in her early years. When he grew up, he was polite but distant to her. She understood his difficulties and was even more moved by his precocious wisdom.

Not to mention, he has such outstanding appearance and demeanor.

　　It is hard for a young girl not to be tempted by such a man day and night.

Princess Zhaoyang became curious and could not bear to ask.

 Hand inquiring after you are familiar with it.

The Princess's Mansion is not far from the imperial city. The carriage quickly drove in from the side gate and did not stop until it reached the second gate.

"Call the eldest son and the girl." After entering the main room, the eldest princess Zhaoyang ordered the maid.

 Not long after, Kongfu arrived first.

“Mother, you are back.” Seeing Xin You, Kong Fu's eyes curled up, “Sister Kou, it's been a long time.”

Princess Zhaoyang took her younger daughter and said with a smile, "Don't call her sister Kou, call her cousin."

 “Cousin?” Kong Fu blinked in confusion.

 “This is your cousin Xin, she is actually a woman.”

 The little girl was confused: “But this is Sister Kou.”

Princess Zhaoyang patiently explained: "The first person you met was your cousin Xin. When your cousin came to Beijing, she was mistaken for the cousin of theirs by Shaoqing's mansion. In fact, Miss Kou is long gone."

“Mother—” Kong Fu looked at Princess Zhaoyang in shock, “Have you read too many stories?”

Don't think that she doesn't know it at such a young age. Ever since she met Sister Kou, her mother has sent people to Qingsong Bookstore to buy various Chinese language books from time to time, and she has gradually become addicted to it.

Being questioned by her teenage daughter, the eldest princess Zhaoyang was dumbfounded: "No kidding, your cousin and your uncle have already met today, and they had lunch with your grandmother -"

There was movement at the door. Kong Fu turned his head and called out to brother.

Kong Rui walked in, as shocked as his sister: "Mother, are you saying...Cousin Xin is actually cousin Xin?" "Yeah."

Kong Ruizai looked at Xin You carefully and found that the girl in front of him looked similar to Xin Muguo.

“Now that we've made it clear, let's officially meet you brother and sister. Rui'er, your cousin's name is Ayou.”

Kong Rui hesitated and raised his hand: "Cousin."

 The cousin he drank with is gone and replaced by his cousin?

This change is indeed a bit big and a bit fast for this young man who has just turned eighteen.

Xinyou knelt down and said, "Cousin."

Kong Fu's eyes flashed with curiosity, which was also a blessing: “Cousin.”

After accepting their new identities and having dinner together, Princess Zhaoyang personally took Xin You to the arranged residence.

This courtyard is not far from the main courtyard. It is usually well maintained and it doesn't take much effort to clean it up. The mattresses and curtains were all replaced with new ones, and even the water lilies in the vat at the door were filled with water.

 “Sorry for troubling my aunt.”

"What are you talking about? You are my niece." Princess Zhaoyang took Xin You's hand and thought that turning her nephew into a niece has obvious advantages, as she can get closer.

At this time, the aunt and nephew sat down on the beauty's couch and turned away the people who were waiting on them. Princess Zhaoyang asked what was deep in her heart: "Ayou, are you really not going to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan?"

Xin You nodded.

“Did you know that with the status of a princess, it will be much easier to deal with people?”

Even important ministers must bow their heads and salute the princess when they see her.

Xin You understood that Princess Zhaoyang was sincerely planning for her, and revealed some true thoughts: "Being a princess, especially a princess who has not left the palace, has many constraints."

Princess Zhaoyang thought about it and understood Xinyou's choice.

If Ayou is recognized, there will be many things going on with the queen mother. Not to mention where she wants to go and whom she wants to see like now, I'm afraid she will be detained and unable to leave the palace easily before she gets married.

 “Ayou, have you ever thought about the future?”

 Have she always been a princess, without the name of a princess? Do father and daughter only refer to each other as monarch and minister?

Xin You remained silent for a while, then whispered softly: "I want to fulfill my mother's long-cherished wish."

 “What is your long-cherished wish?”

“Reduce the burden of corvee and tax on the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment and no longer be displaced.”

Princess Zhaoyang sighed after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, I have experienced this myself, and I can't bear to have thousands of people do the same."

 Empress Xin was born as a refugee, so it was no surprise to Princess Zhaoyang that she had this last wish.

"In recent years, your father has often reduced taxes on disaster-stricken areas. The tax money has been reduced, but it has been used for more purposes. I heard that several ministers in the Ministry of Household Affairs are often worried about this and have proposed many good strategies... My aunt doesn't know much about these, but she feels that the reduction Taxation is not easy."

“What if there is a strategy that can not only reduce the burden on the people, but also increase the tax revenue of the treasury?”

Princess Zhaoyang suddenly stood up: "Is there such a good strategy in the world?"

“My mother mentioned it to me.”

Princess Zhaoyang sat down and said: "Sister-in-law does have many new and wonderful plans, but I still can't think of such a way to get the best of both worlds. Ayou, please tell my aunt quickly."

"This strategy also has its difficulties. Aunt, I will make it clear to you when the time is right. I hope my aunt can support me when the time comes."

At first, my mother only mentioned a few words, but before the details were revealed, she encountered strong opposition, which even led to subsequent misfortunes.

 Now that she is here, she will be more patient than her mother, waiting for the best time.
