It's even colder in winter.

On this day, the emperor rested at the Linhua Palace of Concubine Dan Tai at night.

The emperor has not favored the imperial concubine for a long time, but he has to rest one night in her palace every month.

Most of the time, like an ordinary couple, they talk, chat casually, or make some sense, and then go to bed.

The imperial concubine is not greedy. She was very arrogant when she was young, and now she left a strong personality for the emperor.

The imperial concubine would say whatever she wanted.

The emperor came this time to tell her about Baoqing.

"...She is so chaotic. When she returns to Beijing, I will put her in custody for half a year." The emperor said.

Concubine: "It should have been under control. Your Majesty is so biased towards her that she is lawless."

When Baoqing was born, the emperor was still the crown prince.

She was the emperor's first child and was white when she was born, unlike other children who were wrinkled.

She looks like a concubine, she is beautiful and well-behaved when she was a child. She is so cute and cute.

Fathers often love their first daughter or their last son.

When Baoqing was a child, he carved her jade. The emperor was filled with joy when he saw her. It was the pearl in his hand. He loved his daughters.

"She is a princess. No matter how lawless she is, she will not do anything other than treacherous. She is just a little more arrogant. It is natural to be willful." The emperor said.

He can talk about his daughter, but others can't.

Even the imperial concubine can't do it.

Concubine Dan Tai: "..."

She sighed softly.

Seeing that the emperor did not listen to the advice, the imperial concubine did not intend to say anything else, but ordered the eunuch: "Come here, go and serve bird's nest porridge. Your Majesty, just take some midnight snack and let's go. It's quite cold tonight."

The emperor nodded.

He and the imperial concubine entered the inner hall, and the palace maids served him to change his clothes. He planned to wash it briefly, and then lay on the bed and slowly drank bird's nest porridge.

Unexpectedly, he just took off his outer clothes and brought the bird's nest porridge in.

The emperor was slightly stunned: "Where did it come from?"

It will definitely take half an hour to get it to the imperial kitchen; while the kitchenette in Linhua Palace did not open to fire tonight.

The imperial concubine laughed: "Your Majesty, this is prepared in the kitchen, as well as boiling water and other snacks. What do you want to eat, please let someone do it."

The emperor was slightly stunned.

Then he came to understand: "Your kitchen also has a honeycomb coal stove?"

"Tailed by Prince Ancheng." The imperial concubine smiled, "It's very useful. Prince Ancheng is very good at doing business. I heard that this stove was made by Princess Chengyang?"

Emperor: "Not bad."

"It's very useful." said the imperial concubine.

The emperor was silent.

A few days later, several stoves were prepared in the kitchen outside the imperial study room. In the twelfth month of winter, the emperor occasionally wanted to eat some snacks, and they made them directly on the stove.

Only then did the emperor understand the importance of this honeycomb coal stove and coal mine.

As long as you taste the sweetness, this thing will become a necessity for daily life, just like the "fire" in the firewood, rice, oil and salt.

"...Mingyu, this transaction must be handed over to the yamen. A special coal department must be set up under the Ministry of Works to manage coal mining." The emperor said.

Xiao Mingyu had already expected it.

Once the emperor realizes the importance of this thing, he will destroy the bridge across the river.

"Uncle, my nephew has handed over to the Ministry of Works. The Coal Department coordinates with me, and my nephew's people are responsible for specific matters. Half of the money I get is handed over to the treasury, and the remaining 40% is given to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My nephew gets 10%. What do you think?" Xiao Mingyu asked very naturally.

The emperor smiled.

"You've already figured it out?" asked the emperor.

Xiao Mingyu: "It is unfaithful to the country and unfilial to you, your uncle, you are unfilial, how dare your nephew?"

The emperor laughed.

He said to Xiao Mingyu again, "If you don't take charge of your family, you don't know the difficulties. I am the master of the world, and I want to make plans for the people everywhere. I just take 10% of the profits and I will be wronged."

"I remember my nephew's goodness, so my nephew won't feel wronged." Xiao Mingyu said.

The emperor nodded.

It was not until this moment that the emperor said: "Princess Chengyang can do something that benefits the country and the people."

Xiao Mingyu took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, why don't you recognize her as your adopted daughter and make her a princess."

The emperor laughed: "No, even if I recognize her as my adopted daughter, I can only be named the princess. Otherwise, the rules will be completely messed up."

Xue Mei is now the princess.

This princess was asked by herself.

When the emperor thought of her, his mood was always complicated. It was hard to say whether he liked Xue Mei or was wary: "...She is the daughter-in-law whom the Empress Dowager likes, so forget it. When she returns to Beijing, I will praise her."

Xiao Mingyu: "When will she return to Beijing? It may be inappropriate for her to go to such an important place as Baiya Town."

"She received the title of military doctor." The emperor said, then looked at Xiao Mingyu and said to him, "Mingyu, I advise you not to go on a confused path.

Princess Chengyang is very thoughtful and not a good match. The reason is that the woman in the back home is gentle and considerate. You are not young anymore, so you should understand what I said carefully. Go back."

Xiao Mingyu is a person who believes that women can also "dominate the world", and he can't stand the emperor's words.

Leaving from the palace, the little prince withdrew from the coal mine business openly and handed over it all, secretly still making 10% of the profit.

Silver gathered on him like a stream of water.

The emperor may not know how much wealth his nephew has.

The emperor has never estimated how much power wealth means.

Xiao Mingyu walked back slowly and finally realized the emperor's malice towards Xue Mei, and his heart was chilled for a moment.

He was planning to go home, but suddenly he moved to Prince Rong's Mansion.

There are some things that he doesn't want to do and is not interested; once he enters the market, the outcome will be decided by him. Uncle Rui can fight, but playing these tricks of the Kyoto powerful people may not be like him.

"...I got some new medicinal materials and I sent them to my younger brother and sister-in-law and my nephew to replenish their bodies." Xiao Mingyu told King Rong.

King Rong was surprised and happy at his arrival.

Since Xue Mei showed her strength, Xiao Mingyu has also appeared in front of others.

Especially in recent years, everyone has gradually noticed that this very low-key young prince has a lot of business under his command - of course, they are not very clear about more.

King Rong knew everything.

Xiao Mingyu is definitely a very important force in Liang State. He can stand up to countless aristocratic families alone.

How many prominent families have exchanged interests with him, and how many officials have received his benefits.

"I have a good relationship with Princess Chengyang, and my younger brother and sister are Chengyang's cousin. We should have walked around more." Prince Ancheng smiled and said, "I often go to the Prince's Mansion to play in the future."

The way of glory is.

After leaving the Rong Prince's Mansion, Xiao Mingyu was in a better mood.

Perhaps, when Xue Mei returns to the capital again, everything will be very different.

Xiao Mingyu wanted to give her a big gift.

"You should see who is the best man in this world." Xiao Mingyu thought, "But you can't get me..."

His heart has moved into someone.

He thought of Xue Mei's eyebrows and eyes, and when he smiled, he was extremely sweet. The mole on the eyebrows seemed to be like a fire, and he praised and mocked him: "Oh, is the little prince so powerful?"

Xiao Mingyu couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips.
