Chapter 30
Early the next morning, Nanny Zhu came to Yangyuantang again.She greeted the concubine and said: "The lord has already agreed yesterday to let my aunt go to see her by herself. However, for this look, we have to pay attention to etiquette. We can't let our aunt wear old clothes to meet people. So the lord said Now, let our aunt ask you for money to make some clothes and make some jewelry."

The princess was furious: "Does your aunt know any etiquette? I don't think our palace has any etiquette at all."

Zhu Momo said: "Anyway, the lord has already said, let us ask you for money, and we must listen to what the lord has to say."

The princess trembled with anger: "Okay, okay. If that's the case, how much do you plan to ask for? 50 taels, is it enough?"

Madam Zhu said, "Princess, are you kidding me? Now, if you go to Yunshangfang to make a dress, it costs 200 taels! Jewelry is more expensive. Anyway, it is a decent palace, so it costs 500 taels, right?"

The concubine laughed back angrily: "So you also know how to be decent!"

Zhu Momo curled her lips: "Princess, it's only 500 taels, don't we need to ask the prince for it?"

The princess was so angry that her heart ached, she said to Madam Zheng next to her, "Go, and pay her 500 taels at the cashier's office!"

Madam Zheng had no choice but to take orders and leave.

Grandma Zhu took the banknote and happily went back to Yueliu Garden.

Mother Zheng returned to Yangyuan Hall and said: "The prince is too confused, how could he agree to let his aunt go to see him, isn't this a joke?"

The princess sighed and said: "Let them make trouble, I don't have the energy to argue with them now."

Madam Zheng hesitated to speak.

The princess looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Mother Zheng said: "This month, the prince took another 500 taels of silver from the account room, and there is not much money in the account. Aunt Liu took another [-] taels. This month's monthly money...hasn't been distributed yet."

The concubine was taken aback: "The mansion can't even send out monthly money?"

Madam Zheng said, "I'm afraid it's not enough."

The princess was silent for a while, and said, "Sell the family's land for another [-] mu."

Madam Zheng said: "Years ago, I just sold a hundred acres, and now I'm going to sell again, this..."

The princess sighed, "Do you have any other options?"

Mother Zheng said: "If this continues, what will the palace do in the future?"

The princess's tears flowed down slowly: "In the future, what future? In such a day, how can there be any future?"

Madam Zheng also sighed.

Here, Aunt Liu got the money, and was busy shopping for clothes and jewelry for several days.

Finally when the appointed day came, Aunt Liu happily changed her clothes, dressed up, and went to Puji Temple to offer incense.

When we arrived at Puji Temple, we saw the mother of the Zheng family waiting at the gate of Puji Temple.When she saw the carriage of the palace, she hurried up to meet her: "Princess..."

Aunt Liu stepped down from the carriage, and Aunt Zhu stepped forward to exchange greetings with the mothers of the Zheng family: "Hello, Madam, is your lady here yet? Our aunt will go up immediately."

The nanny of the Zheng family was taken aback: "What auntie! What do you mean by that!"

Madam Zhu smiled and said, "Our concubine is not feeling well, so this time it is our aunt who came to see us in person."

The mother of the Zheng family trembled angrily: "You guys, what are you doing! Bullying people like this! Which family's etiquette is this, let an aunt come to see you! Our young lady is not meant to be a concubine!"

Nanny Zhu quickly explained: "Listen to me..."

The mother of the Zheng family said angrily: "What are you talking about! What is there to say!" After finishing speaking, she turned around and left.
