Inner city, Gaotou Street.

The royal family of Dakang lived in the imperial city.

The princes and their family courtyards are all in the imperial city, but if they are given a title and inherited the prince, they have to move out of the imperial city and find a house to live in the inner city.

Although the clan family's family stipulates that the children of the royal family can be resettled in the imperial capital, most of the children of the royal family have houses in the inner city.

This has become the only dignity of many royal families who have been demoted to Viscount.

Gaotou Street is an area where the children of the royal family live.

However, most of the people living here are princes and dukes.

He belongs to the top group of children of the royal family.

For example, the Prince Cheng, who is known as the richest in the royal family, his Prince Cheng's Mansion covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres, and the servants alone exceed 500, which is extremely luxurious and wealthy.

Prince Cheng Yanping's father is Prince Zhuo, the seventh uncle of Emperor Jinghe. Prince Zhuo himself likes to do business. His son Prince Cheng was busy with Prince Zhuo when he was a teenager.

The father and son were very lucky and involved in several commercial projects and were very smooth. After decades of hard work, a large amount of property was accumulated.

In addition to Prince Cheng’s Mansion, they also have more than a dozen houses of different sizes in the inner and outer cities, which are definitely real housekeepers.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Prince Cheng is even busier.

He, the helmman, needs to do the business plan for a year, the payment of various rewards, and the planning for next year.

Early this morning, he went to the shop, settled the bill and prepared tens of thousands of taels of silver to go home, which was a reward for the servants in the mansion, wives, concubines, and descendants.

The 42-year-old Prince Cheng used to be busy with business and was not very interested in enjoying it. However, in recent years, he may be a little older. Not only did he try to enjoy it, but he also became much more relaxed in treating the people below.

It must be put ten years ago that Prince Cheng, who inherited the character of his father Prince Zhuo, only gave at most ten taels of silver to the maids and servants in the mansion a year.

Now he has to pay fifty taels per person every year, and his servants and maids are extremely happy.

As a result, before Prince Cheng returned home, his favorite Concubine Su went to the shop.

"Hey, why are you here?" Prince Cheng, who was working on the job, was surprised. His concubine was the most spoiled and didn't like to run around, so why did he suddenly leave the mansion?

Concubine Su smiled and took off the cloak outside, hugged Prince Cheng from behind, "Prince~~ I miss you!"

"You little fairy, didn't I rest in your room the day before yesterday?" Prince Cheng laughed, "If you want to spoil you so much, the princess should curse again."

"She just gave birth to a prince for you. If I had married a few years earlier, would it be the prince who would have given birth to a different prince?" Su Fangxian said with white eyes.

She is very beautiful, but after undergoing the changes from a girl to a woman, she becomes more and more charming, making Prince Cheng love her more and more.

At this time, Prince Cheng was a little a little embarrassed, "Hehe, don't talk nonsense there, you are only twenty-three years old this year, and the prince is only one year younger than you, why did you give birth to him?"

Concubine Su was stunned and then started to act coquettishly: "I don't care~~Your Majesty, you bully me~~"

As she rubbed her behind like this, Prince Cheng felt a numbness in his heart and took her into his arms: "My little heart! Whatever you say is what you want... I will spoil you well tonight!"

"Yeah... I like the prince the most!"

The twenty-three-year-old Concubine Su spoke in a girlish tone, but Prince Cheng thought she was not artificial and very cute.

Prince Cheng is already forty-two years old, and Concubine Su is twenty-three years old. The two are just one generation apart. The so-called old husband loves his young wife, which is what this is said.

The two of them were tired for a while, and Prince Cheng asked her again, "Susu, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's just that people have heard of a rumor." Concubine Su hugged his neck and said as angry as orchid: "There has been news in the palace, and the emperor has decided to issue a order to win grace."

"Add to be a grace?"

"Yes, the order to give the grace means that in the future, the royal family can add a first-class title to their concubine's son from the beginning of the prince. For example, the prince, the prince must be Duke Jin, but if you are willing, the marquis of Yu Qing can also become Duke Yu Qing. The price paid is just a little money."

Concubine Su looked at Prince Cheng with a gaze, with watery eyes, and the cuteness it looked.

But in Prince Cheng's eyes, she seemed a little unlovely.

My little wife's meaning is already very clear. If the emperor issued this order of grace, she hoped that her son could turn from a marquis to a duke.

But Prince Cheng knew too much about Jinghe Emperor.

This emperor has never liked trouble when doing things. He usually wouldn't do anything like changing Taizu's laws.

But once such a rumor comes out and proves that the emperor wants to do it, there must be great benefits in it.

Of course, the emperor will definitely not break the rules for enjoyment, otherwise, first of all, the Zongren Mansion, Zong Zhengsu will object, and then the court officials will not agree.

Thinking about why the emperor had a temple and Taoist temple some time ago, and combined with the recent blizzards of six provinces, Prince Cheng suddenly understood the whole story.

This is to slaughter a pig!

Now my little wife also wants to slaughter me as a pig!!

Prince Cheng smiled bitterly without realizing it.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Concubine Su was unhappy and shook his neck hard, "Prince! Kiss~~Big~~"

She acted spoiled in a series of spoiled ways, making Prince Cheng dizzy, and could only say: "Su Su, do you know that even if you have this order to give grace, it must be a sky-high price! It's not worth it!"

"Why can't you pay it?" Concubine Su started acting coquettish again, "Prince, you have so much property, how much can you give to Can'er in the end? 100,000 taels? 200,000 taels? 300,000 taels at most, won't give to one million taels, right?"

Prince Cheng stopped talking.

The person next to him is the one who knows him best.

When his father Prince Zhuo handed over his family property to him, he only gave him 50,000 taels per son and 20,000 taels per daughter.

Although his current wealth is much greater than his father's back then, he should still give the biggest part to the prince, because this is the inheritance of his lineage, and of course he should give the most.

If there were no accidents, even if he loved his wife and son, he would not give more than 300,000 taels.

"All of you are your sons, why can't Can'er even get one tenth?" Su Fangfei said angrily: "Didn't you say that Can'er looks the most like you, both in character, habits and appearance? Do you just have the heart to watch him suffer?"

This is true.

Prince Cheng likes this little wife the most, and the son he gave birth to is the most like him, so the mother and son are the ones he cares about the most.

But Concubine Su was wrong.

Prince Cheng said: "After Su Su and Can'er grew up, the court would give 'annual salary of 500 taels of silver and 500 hu of rice every year. There are rewards for the Empress Dowager during the Chinese New Year and Festivals, so where could he suffer?"

Concubine Su talked: "Is that an ordinary family good? Of course, they don't dare to think about other princes without ability! But my man is the most profitable genius! He has the ability to let his son go to another level, why not?

Do you think about it? The duke has an annual salary of 3,000 taels and a salary of 3,000 hu. There is a difference of 1,700 taels and a salary of 1,700 hu. The reward of the empress dowager can be a small amount? It is equivalent to more than two marquises, okay?

Can'er is only six years old this year, and she can receive at least fifty years, right? The salary gap plus the rewards during festivals. In fifty years, you can get at least 350,000 taels of silver. Can such a difference be said casually?

If your youngest son has such a family background, he will have no worries about food and drink. After I am with you, the prince, you don’t have to worry about how his life will be~~”

Prince Cheng had no choice but to do anything to her, but he also understood the mentality of being a mother.

He really wanted to tell his wife that you all know that you can get at least 350,000 taels of silver. Wouldn't the emperor know?

Will the emperor give you a loss?

Stop dreaming!

But he couldn't say this, so the mother and son would not be intimate with him in the future.

But he likes this little wife the most, and this little son is definitely reluctant to part with them!

Concubine Su saw his embarrassment, but the obsession in her heart had never changed.

Once a son can become a duke, it will not only represent him alone.

And what about the son's son?

His son became a duke, and his eldest son would be a marquis from the future, and his concubines would at least be an earl.

But if the son continues to be a marquis, then his eldest son can only be an earl, and the concubine's son will fall directly to the lowest level of the viscount.

How many viscounts are there?

"The annual salary is 500 taels of silver and 500 hu of rice!"

This money is only enough for a family of more than ten people to have a meal, and you can't think of anything else!

Why can the prince’s prince inherit millions of taels of silver, and my son and his descendants be so poor?

It would be fine if I didn’t have the order to give me grace before. Now that I have the order to give me grace, I must win him the title of duke.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. Anyway, the money you spend is the money of the future prince. What does it have to do with me?

Thinking of this, Concubine Su was about to speak when a knock on the door came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Prince Cheng quickly picked her up and put her aside, and was very happy to temporarily get rid of her wives.

But the next moment he was unhappy.

Because the servant outside said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the princess asked you to send a message and asked you when you will go back. She has prepared wine and food tonight and is waiting for you to have a meal."

When Prince Cheng heard this, his heart sank.

Since marrying his little wife, the princess and he have not been so intimate on weekdays.

I was so attentive all of a sudden. Is there any other reason besides what my wife said today?

In addition to being the prince's mother, the princess is also the mother of his second son Hou Mingmu, Hedong!

Concubine Su immediately reacted and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Okay! It's okay to have a son occupy the property, but we miserable people can endure it! But she actually dared to ask the second son to participate in the favor?
