Chapter 276
The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiaowu, and said: "Since we have reached this point, Aijia will open the skylight and speak clearly, Miss Tong, you are not suitable to be the concubine of Prince Xuan!"

Tong Xiaowu nodded when she heard this, if she hadn't pretended to faint today, these people probably wouldn't have seen her yet.

These words are afraid that they will wait until the end of time, and those high-ranking people will not say them to her, anyway, whether she exists or not is not important to them.

"The empress dowager, the women heard that the floods in the south are mostly the troubles of the two lakes. If the imperial court allocates money to build reservoirs, dams, and fish scale pits in the upper reaches of the two lakes, it will not only solve the drought in the upper reaches of the northwest, but also solve the problem. The floods in the two lakes..."

"Bold, who talks about government affairs with you? Ai's family has heard about it. You are in business, and most of your family's business is managed by you, but so what?

Chen'er is the prince, how can he be married to a woman like you who has no status, even if Aijia admits that you are husband and wife, you can't be the princess, you can only be a woman next to him, but what status is it? You can decide. "

The old queen's voice was raised, and there was a lot of displeasure in her tone.

"If the drought in the northwest and the flood in the south are resolved, has the Empress Dowager thought about how much money she can save for Xuanyuan every year? The women have calculated that it can reach at least 2000 million taels of silver!"

Tong Xiaowu only saw her pretending to be dizzy, how could she be defeated by her words, she knew what she wanted to express without saying those words, but she had to say her own words, so that she had the chance to leave the palace.

She really can't wait for the dysentery medicine. If she breaks her promise, she will offend the Great General of Zhenguo Bai Zeyuan, and she really can't afford to offend that person.

As for whether she can become a princess?It's not something they can decide. Take your time and watch, maybe the final result will be unexpected? .

"You..." The queen mother stood up angrily, but when she heard the number said by the other party, the expression on her face changed: "What did you just say? How much?"

"If the drought in the northwest is resolved, plus the annual grain tax and the losses caused by the drought in the south, a total of 2000 million taels of silver will be left for Xuanyuan." Tong Xiaowu said again.

The Empress Dowager sat on the seat at once, and Xuanyuan Kingdom's annual tax was [-] million taels of silver, which added [-] million to the emperor.

"What did you just say? What dams? The dams of the two lakes are being repaired every year, and they haven't seen any effect on the floods?"

After the queen mother finished speaking, she realized that she had slapped herself in the face, and quickly closed her mouth, "We are talking about your business, a woman..."

"You can't interfere with the government, right? The Empress Dowager..." Tong Xiaowu suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground. She retreated and said:
"It doesn't matter if I become a princess or not. Anyway, when I married Yu Chen, he was not a prince. If we hadn't been invited to the capital to attend the emperor's banquet this time, I wouldn't know his identity.

Besides, what I experienced in the palace in the past few days also made me realize that I am not suitable to be a princess at all. As for my fate with him, I am taking one step at a time now.

However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Although I am from the countryside and I am also a woman, I can see the sufferings of those refugees. There are some obvious solutions?

Is it because the folk woman is a woman that the folk woman doesn't mention it?It is obviously a very simple matter, but is it because I am a woman that I have to watch the people in the two counties of Youzhou die and injure countless times due to floods every year?

Empress Dowager, you can ask me to leave Prince Xuan right now, but this matter must be said..."

As she spoke, Tong Xiaowu lowered her head and wiped away the tears that didn't exist.

When the queen mother heard this, she tightly clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand. She stood up and walked back and forth. After a long time, she suddenly shouted, "Come on, please invite the emperor to come to Ai's house!"

"Yes..." Someone outside answered.

"Get up, the Ai family is getting old, and don't care about other things except housework. When the emperor comes, you can tell him!" The empress dowager sat on the seat, looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes changed Get deep.

No wonder being the richest man in Nanzhou, she really has a way. She clearly knows that she is canvassing for herself, but she has no way to refuse.

As she said, with so many lives and so much money, is she really going to turn a blind eye just because she is a woman?Flooding in the south is a problem that has plagued Xuanyuan for hundreds of years, maybe she really has a solution?
When Tong Xiaowu heard that the emperor was going to be invited over, she frowned slightly. She had thought about meeting the Queen Mother in her plan, but she hadn't thought about meeting the emperor.

"Empress Dowager, can the women go out and change clothes?" This is basic etiquette, otherwise a disrespect can kill her.

"Mother Zhang, take Miss Tong to change clothes and freshen up." The queen mother said about the spring water in her mind.

"Yes..." Nanny Zhang came in and took Tong Xiaowu out.

On the way, Nanny Zhang smiled slightly. She took her to the next room and washed her up. "Girl, this old slave's hometown is Lu County, Youzhou."

Tong Xiaowu looked at Nanny Zhang through the bronze mirror, and nodded, "Oh..."

Nanny Zhang pursed her lips and said, "When I was young, this old slave was bought to the capital because of the flood in his hometown and his parents forgot about him. If you really..."

Suddenly, Nanny Zhang's eyes became moist, and she took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions: "I'm sorry girl, but when I think of my hometown, I can't help it..."

"Don't worry, Nanny Zhang, my method will definitely work, it depends on whether the emperor agrees or not?" Tong Xiaowu comforted.

"Then what if the emperor disagrees? Although the old slave doesn't know if the girl's method can work? But the girl speaks up for the flood in the two lakes. This is courage!" Zhang Momo wiped her tears again.

"I feel that the emperor should agree to this matter." Tong Xiaowu said while thinking.

Nanny Zhang looked at the woman in front of her in surprise, "Why is the girl sure that the emperor will agree?"

"You'll know in a while!"

"Girl, you must never speculate on the holy will. This is disrespectful!" Sure enough, it was the old lady who had served in the palace for many years, and she couldn't leave the palace rules in a few words.

"I didn't speculate on the holy will, I just know what I should do." After Tong Xiaowu explained, she reached out and stroked her hair, and then took off the red hairpin that Mammy Zhang had inserted for her.

"It's not mine. I don't want it. I'm very grateful that I can borrow your clothes."
