After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 342 Checks and Balances

Emperor Zhao took a look and said, "It's almost time for the fireworks display. Crown Prince Xiaoning and Crown Princess, please come up to the tower with me to watch this grand fireworks display."

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Your Majesty, please."

After Emperor Zhao stood up and left, Hui Chengyuan followed, holding Yuan Man's hand.

Only after all the important people had left did Xiao Lele breathe a sigh of relief.

"Scared me."

Then he jumped and ran.

King Qiong, who had been standing behind her, touched his nose and thought: Is my sense of presence so low?

The fireworks feast was indeed extraordinary.

Looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, Yuanman seemed to have returned to the modern New Year.

Fireworks are not allowed in the city, but they are allowed in her hometown.

Every year at twelve o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve, every family starts setting off fireworks, like a competition, to see who can set off more fireworks.

It looks good, with various colors and shapes, and it is dazzling and colorful.

But what greeted us the next day was a white haze, all of which was the aftermath of the fireworks.

You could smell the gunpowder every time you breathed in, and visibility was only one meter.

Hui Chengyuan saw her staring at the fireworks and thought she liked them.

"If you like it, I'll play it for you when we get back."

Yuan Man shook his head. "It looks good, but it's too easy to fall apart."

“Just watch it once in a while.”

After the fireworks banquet, there was a palace banquet, and everyone moved to the Qinghe Hall.

At this time, the hall was brightly lit, with singing and dancing, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

There is no more tense feeling during lunch.

After dinner, Hui Chengyuan said goodbye.

Emperor Zhao did not try to keep it, but smiled and asked Steward Qian to send it out personally.

After they left, Emperor Zhao waved his hand and asked Steward Qian's apprentice to read out three imperial edicts, all of which were edicts granting marriage.

The first one was a marriage between Prince Heng and Sima Jing, and they got married a month later.

The second one was a marriage between Prince Jin and Kong Jing, the second legitimate daughter of the Yingbo Mansion. They got married three months later.

The third one was a marriage between Prince Qiong and Xiao Lele, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and they got married six months later.

Prince Heng was surprised, and then looked at Sima Jing.

Look, even if you don’t want to marry me, you will have to do it in the end.

Prince Jin was angry, but he had no objection to his elder brother marrying Sima Jing.

Why did the third brother marry the daughters of the Minister of Revenue, but he married a useless daughter of a baron?

Kong Jing and Xiao Lele were both confused. They had never expected that they would marry a prince of the royal family.

Especially Kong Jing, her father and Yingbo were just minor officials of the seventh rank.

It would have been difficult for her to marry a man from a noble family of the same level, but she was granted marriage to Prince Jin!

After expressing his gratitude, King Qiong glanced at Xiao Lele, and raised his eyebrows when he saw her confused look.

He was also surprised that his father would marry him to the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

You know, his uncle holds military power, and now he has been given the Ministry of Revenue.

Not only was he surprised, but Prince Rui was also surprised. After all, in his opinion, his father was very afraid of Prince Qiong.

But why was he granted marriage to the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?

Then he looked at Prince Heng and granted Sima Jing a marriage.

My father's behavior is really hard to understand.

The Queen's face wasn't looking good either. After all, she was the one who least wanted Prince Heng to marry Sima Jing.

Then there was the fact that Prince Qiong married the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, neither of whom she was happy to see.

But so what? The fifth prince is still young. Unless she kills all the previous princes, this will happen sooner or later.

After the marriage was granted, the banquet ended.

After hearing what Yuan Yi said, Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and looked at Hui Chengyuan, "This Zhang Ke is a capable man!"

"But the marriage granted by Emperor Zhao is also meaningful."

Hui Chengyuan let Tangtang lie on his chest and sat under a tree to bask in the sun.

"King Qiong has suddenly become the target of public criticism."

"So Emperor Zhao is paving the way for Prince Rui?" Yuan Man asked teasingly.

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Not necessarily."

"It's also possible that he's just acting as a check and balance."

Yuanman curled his lips.

Okay, the art of emperorship.

"As long as Emperor Zhao agrees to our conditions, anyone of them can be the emperor."

"The only thing they need to ensure is the safety of Jinnan and Yanbei."

Hui Chengyuan looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is not difficult."

"After all, I have you as my sister to back me up, so I won't do anything to them easily."

Yuanman nodded and kissed it to listen.

"Listen, little darling, mommy is going to take you out to play."

Hui Chengyuan turned his head to look at her, "Where are you going?"

"Xunxianlou, we'll be back soon." Yuanman stood up holding Tingting.

"Mom, I want to go too." Yuanbao immediately ran over and grabbed her skirt.

Hui Chengyuan looked at her, his eyes implying that if his son went, then he should go too.

Yuanman's mouth twitched and he looked down at Yuanbao.

"Be good, you just went out to play, don't let playing with things ruin your ambition, follow your father and learn to read at home."

Then he left his eldest son behind and walked away with his youngest son in his arms.

Yuan Bao pouted and looked at Hui Chengyuan, "Dad, don't you take care of your wife? She left you alone to go out and play."

Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and patted Tangtang on the back.

"Don't forget your brother. Your mother is holding him."

"She left you behind and went out to play with your brother."

Yuan Bao's face immediately fell, "I'm going to tell Mom that you said bad things about her."

"Then I will also tell my wife that her son is saying behind her back that he abandoned her and her children." Hui Chengyuan said, while picking up a piece of paper from the coffee table next to him with his other hand.

"Learn to read well, and don't wait for your mother to come back and test you. You can't read even a single word."

Yuan Man came to Xunxian Tower just to collect money, even though she already had countless amounts of money in her backpack.

But if the income from the Xunxianlou buildings over the years is not taken away, something bad will happen sooner or later.

He Le took her to the warehouse and told her that he had left 10% and she could take anything away.

Yuanman looked at the full warehouse and gave Hele a thumbs up.

As for why he kept 10%, you will know after taking a look.

This Chengdu is almost several times larger than other Xunxian Towers.

As expected of the capital of Zhao State, there are many rich people.

No wonder Emperor Zhao is concerned about it. He would be concerned about it no matter who it is.

Yuan Man handed Tingting to He Le and said, "Take him out to play for a while. I'll wait for someone to come and take these away."

Hele took Tingting stiffly. He had never held such a small child before.

It was his master's child, he was terrified.

After hearing this, she moved uncomfortably in his arms, which scared He Le and made him even more tense.

Yuan Man smiled and said, "Relax a little, you're too tense and it's uncomfortable to hold him."

"Don't worry. Even though his bones haven't grown back yet, you don't have to be so cautious. Just protect his head and neck."

Under her adjustments, He Le tried hard to relax, and only after making sure that the young master was motionless did he carry him and walk out.

After he left, Yuanman collected all the items in the warehouse.

Then he sat in the empty warehouse and thought about how to spend so much money.

After putting it in the backpack, he realized that there were exactly 46 million taels of silver. The other Xunxian Towers were really weak in his sight.

Yuan Man took out the addresses of other Xunxian Towers in Zhao State, and there were two more.

One is in Dingle City and the other is in Wanglu City.
