Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 174: The Queen Mother summons and exchanges interests with the Princess

Of course, Liu Hong was trying to seduce Versace.

According to the gambler's theory, everyone has two hearts, greed and unwillingness.

His illegitimate brother Fan Xian, who was not even included in the family tree, was a popular upstart in Kyoto.

The future leader of the literary world, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the President of the Censorate.

He was the son of Si Nanbo, his mother was the daughter of a duke, and the third prince was his cousin. Even his brother-in-law Liu Hong, who came from the humblest family, held an important position.

Versace clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Liu Hong believed that Versace would act according to his heart, so he smiled and helped Versace into the carriage.

Looking at the carriage gradually leaving, Ji Xin spoke in confusion.

"Sir, are we not leaving? Do you have something important to discuss with the prince?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Liu Hong's lips.

"Don't worry, I'm the prince's teacher now. Who do you think cares about me the most?"

"Second Prince?"

Ji Xin hesitated for a moment.

Seeing Liu Hong shaking his head slightly, he immediately changed his words.

"Could it be the eldest princess?"

"You think the prince has no mother? Emperor Qing issued an edict yesterday, and I visited the prince again today. Does the queen really not care?"

Ji Xin scratched his head.

I thought of the queen who had always lived in seclusion.

Not long after, Hong Zhu, accompanied by several maids, spoke respectfully.

"Lord Liu, the Queen invites you!"

This was the first woman in Emperor Qing's harem to summon Liu Hong.

Liu Hong nodded, and was not surprised why Hong Zhu would go to serve the queen.

Yangxin Palace! The Queen's bedroom. Just by hearing the name, one can tell how much Emperor Qing loves the Queen.

The dead Ye Qingmei once again became the white moonlight in Emperor Qing's heart.

As long as it does not affect Emperor Qing’s supreme power, Emperor Qing is happy to show his deep affection.

For example, the cold queen vigorously cultivates Fan Xian.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, countless candles flickered on stands, lighting up the entire hall, leaving almost no darkness.

This is the Queen’s concern, fear of the dark!

"Your Highness Liu Hong pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Liu Hong bowed slightly without expressing much. There was no need to show much respect to a queen who was not favored and whose power was limited to the harem.

The queen frowned slightly. For so many years, no one except the crown prince had dared to stand in front of her.

He is indeed a country bumpkin, a rogue, and has no manners.

"Master Liu, there is no need to be so polite. Since you are the prince's teacher, you are my equal."

The queen raised her hand and tried hard to force a smile despite the eternal coldness on her face.

The eunuchs around looked at the queen in surprise.

The queen hasn't smiled for many years. It seems that the person in front of her is very important.

"Please take a seat!"

The smile on the queen's face was soon covered by frost again. She gently picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine. Only then did the queen forcefully force a smile.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, sir. I'm suffering from a heart disease and I can't live without the company of good wine for a moment."

Telling Liu Hong openly that he was ill could be said to be a sign of trust in Liu Hong.

Before the queen could continue speaking, Hong Zhu quietly drove out the eunuchs and maids in the palace, leaving only a personal eunuch.

Even Hong Zhu was waiting outside.

The queen is not like the eldest princess. She pays attention to etiquette.

Even when discussing private topics, the eunuchs who could neither speak nor write had to be allowed to observe here.

Avoid spreading any rumors.

"Sir, why are you going to the East Palace today?"

The Queen spoke softly.

"It's just to save money for the Crown Prince! I think the Crown Prince's guards are all just empty-handed people, not worthy of the title. I'm afraid it's not a blessing for the Crown Prince."

Liu Hong also sat upright on the cushion, exactly ten meters away from the queen.

This was the cushion arranged by the Queen, as if she was afraid that Liu Hong would eat her.

In fact, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time and had not been favored by Emperor Qing for a long time. She felt empty, lonely and cold. When she saw a young and strong man, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself. Liu Hong looked ordinary, but he had a handsome temperament, coupled with the perseverance of fighting on the battlefield, and a certain inexplicable temperament for women.

It's a bit similar to the attraction of yellow-haired boys to junior and senior high school girls.

The queen's heart was shaken, and she nodded repeatedly as she listened to Liu Hong's explanation.

"That's right! The prince is weak, I hope Lord Liu can do his best to assist him."

"I have to do my job well when I am in office. Now that I am the crown prince's guardian, I must do my best."

Liu Hong's expression was solemn, and he was almost about to swear to the sky.

"The East Palace has two thousand soldiers. I hope Liu Hong will take more care of them. No matter what, they cannot fall behind Chengze."

The Queen nodded, using her summons to hand over the Eastern Palace's military to Liu Hong.

This was an unexpected surprise. Liu Hong had originally wanted to erode the Eastern Palace's military, but it would take at least several months.

Unexpectedly, the queen gave it generously.

Am I more handsome than Fan Xian?

Liu Hong couldn't help but speculate secretly and felt quite pleased with himself.

The eldest princess was very nice to him, and so was the queen.

After chatting for a while, about half an hour, Liu Hong tactfully left.

If I stay here any longer, there will probably be some rumors.

If there were someone catching crickets here, Liu Hong would definitely spit in his face.

If you can't do it yourself, don't speculate about others and look down on others!

He is in his prime, an age when he can pierce through steel plates.

Liu Hong looked calm and gave instructions to Hong Zhu softly.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hong, to lead me to Guangxin Palace."

Hong Zhu nodded.

"As it should be!"

If you want to take action against the eldest princess's bank, even if there is some compensation, you have to meet her in person once or twice.

If he can impress the eldest princess, then the second prince will be almost there too.

At that time, we will sacrifice the Cui family in exchange for the Fan family, Liu Hong, the eldest princess, the crown prince, the second prince, and strengthen the sporadic investment of some powerful people.

The money business developed very quickly and was spread throughout the prefectures and counties of Qing State.

The eldest princess was lazily wearing a black dress with her bare feet exposed. She looked at Liu Hong with some surprise.

This was the first time Liu Hong took the initiative to meet him.

"Actually, you can take those banks if you want. After all, you played a big role in getting the prime minister to step down, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."

The eldest princess's seductive red lips gently opened.

She seemed to have forgotten that Liu Hong had merely touched her shop in Kyoto, so she rushed to Emperor Qing to complain.

Abolishing the prime minister system was the will of her brother the emperor. As long as her brother the emperor was happy, she would do anything.

As for some money houses, is it important to have an inner treasury?
"Your Highness, I am not going to take over these banks by force, but to integrate them and have them allocated by the banks."

Liu Hong spoke respectfully.

The eldest princess' eyes lit up. As the person in charge of the inner treasury for so many years, she could certainly see the commercial value of it.

If the Neiku is a money-making machine, then the Qianhang will be a money-managing machine.

If it works well, the effect will be no less than that of managing the inner treasury.

Thinking of this, the smile on the eldest princess' face became even more charming, with a hint of thrilling feeling.

"You are a thoughtful child."

"I have been able to rise to prominence all the way thanks to the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I will naturally remember it in my heart."

What Liu Hong said is true.

The eldest princess wanted to train Liu Hong to be the second Lin Gong, a good boy who was willing to die for her at any time.

Many open and covert attacks were blocked by the princess.

"It's a pity that Wan'er is getting married, and you have a family now. As a mother, I naturally want to find a good man to entrust your child to, but unfortunately this is the will of His Majesty, and I can't do anything about it."

The eldest princess sighed. She still didn't understand.

Why did Emperor Qing insist that Fan Xian be in charge of the inner treasury and tacitly allow him to take over the Supervisory Council?

Even if Fan Jian shared one of Emperor Qing's milk, his child would not be like this!

After all, Versace, who was included in the family tree, was only given some official positions and could not even see Emperor Qing.
